[Q] CWM recovery bootloop - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm pissed that I installed CWM recovery... I wanted a factory reset, so I did it. Now everytime I turn on my TF101, I get directed to ClockworkMod Recovery v5.5.0.4. My computer doesn't recognize my transformer now, and IDK how to let CWM use my microsd. I don't know what to do... My serial number is b80, and it's ICS. Latest firmware. I rooted this device with ViperMod Prime, since it can also root TF101. Please help me? I want to get rid of CWM and unroot, so I can sell this.

CWM 5.5.0.4 only read from the internal sd.

Issues with Recovery

I have a Transformer B70 and I used the Pure root 8.4.4.11 method
Shown here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185104)
and I can't seem to get into recovery after following all the steps.
it seems to hang at "Booting recovery kernel image"

I'm having the same issue too.
And what is really weird is that it was working the very first time I did it, but after trying to root the 3.2 update, I can't get it to work anymore. Nor can I get the tablet to see the 3.2 OTA... I wonder if I borked it up somehow with NVFlash. Anyone got any ideas?
Did you read the note about recovery in first post?

my guess is no.
Yeah, I completely missed that. I need to sleep more instead of hacking tablets...
I still don't understand why it worked the first time I did it manually, but after restoring to stock via NVFlash, I can't get the exact same recovery.img file to boot on the same tablet.
Is there a way to wipe the whole flash and start fresh? I had this kind of issue on the GTablet and the full wipe clean and re-install to stock fixed it. Maybe I can look at the commands to do it in the GTab and adapt it for myself.
I just installed clockworkmod recovery though a nvflash method with a rooted 8.4.4.5

[Q] Can't boot into recovery

I returned my original transformer that I rooted and installed Revolver on because of a bad touchscreen. Now on my new one I can't get to recovery. I rooted using razorclaw again, but when I try to get into recovery I get the android with an exclamation point. Any help would be appreciated.
Did you install CWM recovery?
Razorclaw only root. RecoveryInstaller
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19319421
Yeah, I found my mistake moments after I posted this. I was thinking there was a stock recovery to install CWM from. I forgot about the installer. Thanks for setting me straight. Back in business now.

[Q] Help, asap

Help,
I installed a wrong oc kernal and my tablet is messed up now it keeps rebooting and when it reboots a ton of lines of color i can get it into recovery But THATS it.
I backed it up, but restoring it does nothing...
need help
Wiping everything as well does nothing
if you can get into recovery you could try the superwipe app from revolution rom thread. i just used it yesterday after having problems and i could reflash my backup fresh and revolver rom fresh like brand new. it wipes everything but recovery.
Is your TF101 SBKv1 or SBKv2 ?
Take a look at your serial number, if its below B70 then your TF is SBKv1.
If it is, you can use NVFlash to flash a new ROM, Recovery, kernel and whatever (more info here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123429)
If it's not, well can you access ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) ? You can flash an other kernel with that.
If you're SBKv2 and with no need to access CWM Recovery, I think (not sure though) your tablet's done.
it is a b80 and i am ABLE TO GET INTO CWM recovery...

Since you can't boot your TF up, revolver part is not gonna do you any good.
Here's his repository
http://www.gnufabio.com/revolver/dls/
You could try what neofreak01 stated above also
If you can get to recovery, just flash the stock (non-oc) kernel. Reset your oc settings and then reflash the oc kernel.

Then since you are rooted flash the CWRI then proceed to downgrade.
kind of a beginner to this...got any step by step links to do that
im making progress but very slowly i was able to install cwm with recoveryinstaller apk and had to copy the su folder from... so from there im assuming its just to boot into recovery wipe data/factory reset and install zip from sd card containing the updater launcher for the firmware i downloaded from asus site n that should restore to stock? is that it or am i missing a few steps

cannot use recovery after JB

I can get into recovery but after that then to android with red exclamation or usb fastboot screen or fdr screen cold boot. Once I get to red x andy I can go no further. Tried all combo of button pushes and will not go to blue menu for clear cache partition fdr or re start. I am trying to clean cache . It just sits at Andy then after about 5 Min's tab reboots by itself. Have tried about 6 times same thing happens each time, Any idea what is happening or what I am doing wrong or is recovery clean cache partition gone? Thanks
Other wise JB install went smooth no problems and tab is working well . seems smoother . Also kept root with voodoo.
Same here...
I had this same issuethis once, after update with the same intention, was considering either clear cache or to do a full wipe from that level as opposed to doing it through settings. Almost had a stroke u I saw the animated android with the famous (or rather infamous red triangle) Ended up using the one in Backup and Restore in system settings. Think I will try this again, since this concerns me. Anyone else seeing this? If recovery is broken in JB, we have another wait on out hands. Sigh
ditto, starting to see a trend...
Same here, I've had no luck getting past the initial stock recovery screen. Not good.
When you flash OTA update you lose custom recovery.
i have custom recovery installed on JB but it is useless. nothing wants to mount.

Same here. Seems as though mount points changed and I can't seem to get adb in twrp...
What is different?

I kept root with OTA Root Keeper. So I was able to reflash TWRP from Goomanager. But anyway it cannot mount either the internal storage nor the microSD card. There seems to be no working recovery for JB, yet.

That's not entirely accurate... if you mount /system in twrp, you will see externalSD is mounted instead. Kind of goofy. Messed me up good, since I expected to install supersu through recovery. Now I have no root and no useful recovery! Anyone know the mount point cure?

This recovery works with the JB Kernel. Flash it using fastboot.

I like a few others was stuck at the infamous red triangle with no way to get into TWRP. Lost custom recovery. Did the above mentioned in fastboot and was able to flash CWM and then was able to flash Supersu via CWM. Got me out of a jam, unfortunately missed the opportunity to NVFLASH on .26, had already upgaded to .30
merge thread?

Could one of the moderators merge this thread with Red triangle in locked stock recovery ? They are both concerning the same thing thanks Tom
