I do the usual vol- power on thing and it boots to the screen where you have to hit vol+ to go into clockwork. My TF won't, it does nothing once i hit vol+. I rooted it using the nvflash method and clockwork is in act installed. I just dont know what to do to get it to boot into recov. It won't even do it from rom manager.
root 8.4.4.11
NVM, I fixed my own problem. Did an NVflash unbricking and a delete data and now I can finally get around to putting PRIME! on here.
Mods please close my thread. Thank you.
hey
i have the same problem how did you, step by step, unbrick your transformer
I have no idea. I just put it into APX mode used the NVflash method in the top sticky in dev I think. Then I just went and ran the CWM.zip provided in the rootkit from the 3.1 pure root thread. That's best I can explain it.
Hello,
I need some help to get the new ICS update. I have a TF101 (no G), serial B80, with firmware HTK75.WW_epad-8.6.6.23.
Previously I was on 8.6.6.19 and used razorclaw to root it. Then I have done the wipe data, and installed 8.6.6.23.
When I boot with Power and Vol- then Vol+ to enter RCK mode I get the green android guy with exclamation mark.
When I boot with Power and Vol-, then Vol+ I get 2 options: Wipe data and android cold boot.
I used some apps to test if the device is root and they say no.
Sorry for my english, but it's not my main language.
Any idea to fix this?
The 8.6.6.23 is firmware for the 3G model. You will not see OTA since ICS is not released for G model yet.
You can try to manually install 8.5.6.21. You could also try rooting and installing cwm recovery and flash the ICS ROM
Thanks for the answer. I've searched around and it seems that I can't get back to 8.5.6.21.
When I try to install it I get the android guy with exclamation point.
I guess I have to wait for ICS on 3G model

Easiest way is to root, install CWM recovery and flash an ICS ROM. Either the stock rooted ROM or one of the many custom ROMs
I was in a similar situation. The ASUS recovery did not work for me either and I couldn't figure out how to install CWM. There is not a lot of help for noobs with B80s and with all the methods out there it was a challenge to find the correct one. Here's what I did:
1. If you are not rooted, follow the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427838 to get rooted. I had updated to the .21 firmware, and at that point, the nachoroot method is the only option. I had some trouble connecting ADB, but eventually I got it to work. This was the most difficult part of the process.
2. Install CWM. I was having trouble with this using the ASUS recovery, and I think it has to do with B80 models. I found the app in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180 and it is amazing. If you are rooted, it installs CWM even on the B80 versions. The custom recovery will allow you to install any rom.
3. Download the option B ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514658. Place the zip on your SD card. This rom is the ASUS stock ICS firmware with root. Contrary to what some have said--I noticed a huge difference with ICS!
3. Backup all your user apps and data with Titanium Backup (optional). Do not back up system data, just user apps if you want to keep them.
4. Open your recovery. Shut the tablet off, and boot into recovery by holding down the power button and the volume down button until you are prompted to boot into recovery by pressing volume up. Pressing volume up should load CWM.
5. Wipe and then install! To wipe, select "wipe" on the recovery menu. Then wipe all data, cache, and dalvik-cache. To install, select install zip from SD card and find the zip file you downloaded in step 3.
Best of luck!
Hi,
may i hook in here, i've got a similar problem:
i TRY to get in adb mode, but it doesn't work as expected:
i used this thread initially (ASUS Transformer Root ToolKit V7.1 Universal (Windows) | 2011-09-22), i downloaded the toolkit, connected my turned off tab to the pc, booted via Power + vol up, it got connected to windows and i installed the drivers. so far so good. BUT: if i start adb server and use adb device, i dont get any devices listed... i cant do anything. And when i use this nvflash method with the download.bat file, i get an error and the usb connection vanishes... i dont have any further ideas what to do. but i can boot afterwards normaly to 3.2.1, though i dont get any updates
any hints? Thanks for reading anyways
thanks, DK
[edit] i have the version HTK75.DE_epad-8.6.5.21-20111216 installed [/edit]

What you did was put your tablet into APX mode. That's only good if you're doing NVFLash not ADB.
To use ADB just have yourtablet on like normal with USB debugging turn on
Hi,
thanks for your fast reply, you are right. i got my adb device id when beeing in the os, so this works. but, trying to use nvflash/Brk's Asus TF RootKit over apx, i got the initial connection, but when i want to flash it looses the connection or dies or something... no idea what
you got any hints how i can come back to a clean version, which is upgradable?
thx & best regards,
dk
this is the program output btw:
Creating backup of current boot and recovery img
this should take some time... please wait

Hello. Today i managed to install small update from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563249
I sucessfully flashed it through cwm, and I also booted. But then i accidentaly pressed OTA asus update and im now stuck in Cwm Recovery v3.1.0.1 (solarnz-R-230511-1902). I cant access my nandroid backup since this recovery doesnt support internal storage and i when i press reboot system i get recovery loops (tablet restarts but android wont boot, im again in cwm). So i managed to flash some other versions of cwm, i flashed them, but again, after reboot im still in this recovery ... then i tried this guide http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...overy-bootloop-fix-tested-my-c10-windows.html but i havent set an adb to my device before so when im in command prompt it doesnt recognize my tablet so its pretty awkward (maybe because i havent usb debugging on - is there any way to turn it on??). So im an epic noob, can someone give me advice how to unbrick my lovely tablet? I´ll be very very greatful please help...
If you have an sbk v1 version you could use nvflash to unbrick. Check your serial #
Hmm, I already solved it Just did cold boot and wrote some things with terminal emulator...
Hi,
Am exactly in the same situation, have to cold boot to use the tablet.
Could tou please detail what you did to solv the problem once under android ?
Thanks in advance.
Check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23339963 . You'll need to connect to a PC and us adb to connect (Google it if you are not sure what it is or how to use it).
Then reboot since you'll be right back in CWM, run the advanced script. I would replace that version as soon as possible with the working version of CWM.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
I have a new Transformer TF101 that I rooted with vipermod.
I tried installing CWM using the recovery installer at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180, but it kept giving me parsing errors when I tried to run the apk. This happened when I copied over the su from bin to xbin.
So I tried Rom Manager to install the CWM there, but when I try to boot into it, it would get stuck saying Booting recovery kernel image.
If I try to use the Transformer Reboot to Recovery app, it gets stuck at the boot screen and goes into a semi reboot loop where If I try powering it off, it automatically powers on again and I had to do a data wipe to recover.
Does anyone have any idea how I can solve this? I really don't want to be stuck on Android 3.1 forever since it won't update to ICS with the stock update either now.
The android version is 3.1, Build is 8.4.4.11.
Thanks!
I know you already tried this installer, but check out this link.
You could also try using ADB to install the CWM recovery: link.
Read through there and follow the instructions around step 6 since you're already rooted.
If this doesn't work:
Does the ASUS recovery not work at all? As in holding vol-down while powering on then pressing vol-up to enter recovery? If it does you could try an update.zip to flash back to the old stock version that supports old razorclaw and use that to flash recovery reroot and pop a ROM on there (stock rooted ICS or otherwise) I'll give further help if you have to resort to this.

Your firmware is to old for RecoveryInstaller to work. Manually update to latest ICS, root with ViperMod and use RecoveryInstaller for CWM.

Hi
I'm a newbie with Android and I did a couple of things to my Asus Transformer that leaved me in a strange situation and I hope someone here can give me some "light".
Ok, first I did this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515470 to root the tablet. I thought it was a good thing...
Then, used Rom Manager Premium to install Clockwormod but here is what I think can be wrong. In Rom Manager I have the indication of Clockworkmod version 5.8.2.1 but when I reboot in CWM mode I get 5.5.0.4
The problem is that if I do reboot the tablet always go to ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4
If I want to reboot and go to Android to use the tablet, I need to use the Power + Volume- combination. Then I get 2 options: Wipe Data or Android. Choose Android and everything seems ok and I can use my Transformer normally.
Now I just flash the Revolver Rom hopping that this could fix my reboot problem, but it didn't
Is there a way to update the Clockworkmod or remove and go to stock rom again?
I'll appreciate any help.
Thanks
