[Q] huge boot problem - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello everyone
here's my problem
i've managed to root and install revolution HD rom but i don't know how while trying to instal brobot's metro ui
the tab wont boot and now i can't even manage to access to the boot screen ( the tablet stay at the Eee pad logo + nvidia) and i can't do anything with CWM as it can't read external SD card, no backup (with another rom or the original ics rom) and can't access to the internal storage from my computer
somebody can help me to fix this bloody hell ?

NvFlash for Sbkv1/2
If you have a slider or tf101G You'll have to try to get adb working, try universal naked drivers.
Then you should update your recovery to something that reads ext and int, so this doesn't happen again

ok i'm going to try this solution thanks ^^
will it work under Win 7 x64 ?

What are the first 3 characters of your serial-number?
If they start with B70 (Or a higher number/letter) It's linux only for now (Sbkv2)
If they start with B60 (Or a lower number) It's windows too (Sbkv1)

how can i see that when my tab won't boot and i can only access the recovery menu ?

Its on the box you purchased it in or on a clear sticker that runs along the bottom of the back of it.
When did you buy it?

is there any way that i can access the internal storage of my TF101 while it is in CWM ?so i can throw a safe rom in there
with a win7 x64 computer

If your computer recognizes the tablet as ADB in recovery then you can do it that way. What version of ARHD are you using. i can create a proper version for you

OK the metroUI on brobot's site is for ARHD3.2 not ARHD3.4 and thats what caused our problems it will take me a while to download ARHD but once i have it the file should be up pretty quick

No. You need to install the android SDK. Then plug the device into the computer in recovery. You can try to mount usb there. Or run adb devices in command prompt then push the systemUI and framework-res through there.
this is the format
adb push <local> <remote>
code will be something like this
adb push systemUI.apk /system/app/systemUI.apk
and
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
all i was doing was fixing metro UI so that you can install it without bricking

The first would delete his data which he does not want and the second is not the cause of the problem
The issue is that by flashing a theme that pushes in an incompatible systemUI and framework-res causes the tablet not to boot. The problem is kind of like putting the wrong engine in a car so that it still looks fine and almost everything is in tact but it will not start

LOL I love that Analogy, yeah if it was MetroUI that broke it then flashing right UI files will fix it. Unless he already wiped.

This should fix it.

Thing O Doom does this update script look fine to you a haven't really done many
Code:
mount("ext4", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
unmount("/system");
and Magingl if you have a microSD try to put that into your computer via an adapter or phone and transfer the clean rom or my file then use that to flash via CWM otherwise push this file with ADB to /sdcard

Yeah that script is good.
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
also works. XD Yours is less lazy though.

I'm kinda noobish but i don't know how to access the adb console

One Click Root & Recovery for the Epic 4G! v2.5.5 Now has ClockworkMod Redirector!
Here's a new one click root. 2.4.0 now flashes clockworkmod recovery for you. It's also a little less likely to fail, and is tested to work on Froyo.
It will also work correctly if you are on a pre-rooted kernel. It will install superuser, busybox, and clockworkmod.
http://firon.net/xda/one.click.root.exploitv2.5.5.zip
Here's 2.5.0 of the one click root, now with the clockwork redirector integrated.
I cleaned up noobnl's script a little bit and ensured that adbd would run as root when booted into recovery. Also made sure we symlinked every single applet that recovery's busybox provides.
Now the one click also avoids pushing playlogo unless it detects that you have the old joeykrim root installed, to avoid any potential issues with future froyo releases.
Linux and Mac users users chmod +x run.sh and run it
THANKS FIRON
Here's 2.2.7, that simplifies the root process thanks to the discoveries here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=800483
I also increased the timeout after running the root (fails less), moved more things to /system/xbin to reduce the risk of breaking things, and removes all the old files leftover from joeykrim's root (including his modified playlogo that runs at boot every time).
It also means your system will no longer be mounted as read-only every time you reboot and there's no more problems with jk-su overwriting your existing su binary.
1. you need samsung galaxy s drivers

2. push MENU, select Applications > Development, then enable USB debugging.
3. extract and run run.bat

v2.2.4 added busybox and the remount script and fixes sprint animation not showing

Alright, well you needed to copy the folder to the Tools folder of the SDK.
I'm typically not brain dead but I'm lost
Working on Windows XP....
A) Installed the 32 bit drivers (strange that when I plug the phone into the USB cord the computer doesn't ever seem to acknowledge that I did so as it did with my BB?)
B) Tried to run the RUN and RUN 2 but I keep getting messages that no device is detected.
Obviously I'm missing something somewhere???????

I can see the device with adb devices and ran run.bat and then run2.bat and it rebooted the phone but I don't think I have root. How can I test it? I downloaded wireless tether and it doesn't broadcast.

Recovery Error Formatting Data

Doing this from my phone so don't flame me, but I'm getting an error in recovery trying to format data. Can someone help?
It's error removing /data/misc/bluetoothhd/F4:6D:04:4E:62:A4/config. Just says error formatting data. Thanks in advance

I don't quite get what you mean, but if you're having trouble deleting a file, you can try manually deleting it with a root browser or using ADB.

Put your tab in recovery mod, go to mounts and storage and mount data, connect to you PC, go to the command line and put
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/misc/bluetoothd/F4:6D:04:4E:62:A4

and then format data again

It didn't work. Do you mean format via adb, or w/ the tab?
Just curious, out of about 250 views, no one has an idea of what to do?
Alright, out of being desperate, I decided to give nvflash tool a go, and now I'm stuck in APX mode >_<
It fails after formatting everything and says it cannot locate the recovery.img after succeeding w/e it pushed prior to that. So I'm assuming I can get it to work, I just don't know what to do from here...

Screwed up-Unrecoverable?

I just got my TF300 after selling my 101. Very happy but decide to flash a new rom and hydro looks awesome. Got TWRP installed and found to my dismay I had forgotted the step of moving the zip to internal sd after wiping. And I forgot to make a backup.
For the life of me I cannot get my desktop to recognize the tablet or load drivers, or see it with "adb devices". I am humbly asking for help and realize by getting to excited I probably lost my new tablet. Is there any way to recover from here?
I will be back on first thing the morning. Thank you in advance.

Can you only flash the roms from the internal memory?
Can you not just copy a rom to the micro sd card and flash it? What i mean is just take a micro sd card out of your transformer put it in your phone and download a rom copy it to the micro sd and then put it back in to the transformer and flash via twrp
Everything I have found says there is no support for flashing from card, has to be done from the internal card.

Wow really?? See i haven't rooted/flashed yet because of all these strange little issues that seem to be popping up on this tablet. Have you tried flashing via micro sd yet? I read on another thread that someone did a minute ago.
This thread references flashing from an sd card :

It says right underneath that TWRP does not support flashing from the sd card. Trying to figure out how to either flash cw over TWRP or get a push through adb. Still not recognizing the pad on my desktop. I have a ubuntu live cd downloading now, looking for instructions on how to do a push with that right now.

Got ya...So CWM does and TWRP doesn't. Ill have to keep that in mind if i do decide to unlock/flash. Well hopefully linux will work for you and you can push everything through ADB. Its pretty universal for instructions on how to push files through terminal. Have you used linux before?

[Q] How make the TF101 Stock and unroot?

Hi
I've been having heavy troubles with the "Android Revolution HD" ROM, my battery lasts forever while in use, but drowns easily and extremely fast when in sleep / shutdown mode.
So I give up, I am going to sell this tablet and I don't want this ROM any more, I don't want my devince Root. I want to get it back to the way it was when I opened the box.
The only think I'd like to get is the Eee Pad Transformer TF101 Firmware: V9.2.1.27 original from Asus to keep using the Android 4.0.X, nothing else.
Since all my attemps of install / reinstall / stock / root / unroot became a mass failure and later on I end coming here and QQ for help I am here to ask what need to be done before doing anything on the tablet.
So here is the summarized question:
How make the TF101 Stock and unroot?

Download any firmware on the asus site. Extract the downloaded firmware (eg. WW_epaduser9_2_1_27UpdateLauncher.zip) take the file extracted (eg. WW_epad-user-9.2.1.27.zip) and place on sdcard. Follow the same procedure for installing a custom rom.

Sorry, put the file on the external sdcard. I also used a full wipe script. It takes a little more than installing a custom rom but it works.
I would like to take a question with you. I have already installed several custom ICS rom or JellyBean on my TF101, but the HD videos on youtube are with small crashes. But with Android 3.2.1 works well. This has happened to you?

Did you see any text on the TF display? It should show some text when it is flashing.
Also, when in recovery you can use ADB to push the ww-epad firmware to your tablet's sdcard. Update the driver for the naked driver ADB and then:
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/
If you need ADB, you can get the adb and dll files required to run here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34321735/adb.zip

Try using this version of adb: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34321735/adb.zip
It is just the adb.exe and the two dll files required to run it.
I use those in a folder called c:\adb and then put the asus.zip in there and try it.
Also, try executing adb devices to make sure it can connect to your tablet. It should find 1 device.

Do you have another PC you can try it on? At least try a PC reboot if nothing else.
Or perhaps a Linux live cd. ADB is native to Linux, just run from a terminal window.

System backup please?!

Hi people. Ive just bricked my Relay by installing Chainfire3D(dont laugh at me I know im stupid)))). So can anyone do a backup the system by Recovery mode and send me to my email [email protected] or attach it here, I will put it in my SD and do a restore from recovery mode(i didnt brick it fully, I guess its called softbrick).
I would really appreciate anybodies help. Please people I really need help...Thanks in advance)))
Just flash a new ROM in recovery, or if you plan to just do a restore of a system partition you would need to give out more information as to flash the correct one as each ROM will have a different system partition

Hey, just emailed the stock ROM, and the stock Recovery. You will need to install the stock Rom first, then flash the stock recovery. Hope it helps.

To install I need to know a couple of things, are you using a computer with Windows? Also do you have a custom recovery on your phone? Hold onto the Volume up key+Home+Power, when it vibrates and shows "Recovery Mode" in little blue letters on the screen let go of the buttons and it will boot into recovery mode. If it looks like the picture here [cdn.droidviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/android-recovery-on-galaxy-s3.jpg], this is stock recovery. If it has "ClockworkMod Recovery" you are off to a good start. Let me what you have.

So to get back to stock, on your recovery there should be an option to sideload a file using ADB. Your going to have to use these instructions to get ADB onto your Windows install.
1. Make sure Java is installed on your system go to.....www.java.com/ and install their version, and restart computer if necessary.
2. Then go to http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html to download the SDK for android allowing use of ADB. You will need to extract this folder to your C: drive. 1-Create a folder on the root of your C: called Android, then unpack the SDK you downloaded into this folder, and open up sdkmanager.exe and install updates and packages. The main one you want is called "platform-tools" which holds the ADB.exe file you will need.
2.A) Make sure you clear/format your cache/dalvik cache/ and data before you flash the zip in the instructions below.
3. Now connect your phone to your computer via usb, and boot into recovery, you will need to choose install zip/sideload with adb (these are generic instructions since I have a different recovery than you.
4. Now it will be waiting for the program you just installed to "push" the zip to your phone. So go to the Start menu, and type in the search box cmd and hit enter.
5. Now type in "CD C:\Android\(**whatever SDK file you have**)\platform-tools\" and hit enter. When typing you can hit the TAB key to autocomplete the folder name. Now your directory should of changed, and you should be able to type "adb sideload (you will need to type in the full path of the file where you stored the Stock JB image at (the one I emailed you). and hit enter. Once it sideloads you should be able to reboot and it will bootup regularly, after this I would suggest flashing philz touch recovery which has a few more features.

While my drivers are installing I wanted to ask abot this:
3. Now connect your phone to your computer via usb, and boot into recovery, you will need to choose install zip/sideload with adb (these are generic instructions since I have a different recovery than you. How should I chooseinstall zip/sideload with adb? 5) should I use recovery.img??? And what about that huge mb thing that you sent to me, what shiold I do with that....I should have warned you that I dont have a lot of experience in all this stuff and I need stepbystep less technical instructions

605 MB I should have said......what I meant was that in your first reply you told to install rom and then flash recovery and I dont think all that is done by only these 5 steps

Since you have ClockworkMod you won't be needing the "stock-recovery.zip" I sent you. You will only need the "JB-stock-system.zip". Now when the drivers install make a checklist and make sure you have Java installed...and then the Android SDK. It really is a 3 step process, but since you soft-bricked your phone you can't simply copy the stock-system.zip to your sdcard and flash that in recovery. You will need adb to communicate with your phone while in recovery.

Yes that is correct, the recovery when it installs will unpack it for you.

Oh crap I didnt see you had a link there, let me check that one out
This isn't probably the best thread to suggest this, but I recommend you look into a linux distro to install on your laptop. Before I had my current one, I was on a 7 year old HP compaq, and I put Lubuntu on it, and made it pretty much brand new. The only thing is getting used to the Linux filesystem,and commandline. Might take a few weeks of using it, but it really helped me out when XP was terribly slow. It also installs ADB and can interface with android phone. Maybe try a liveUSB so you don't have to install it.

With the stock I gave you, you will not be rooted, it will appear as if you just turned it on for the first time, if you want to be root and use Cyanogenmod, I suggest instead of sideloading the image I gave you, go here and download this and sideload this rom (this is stable 10.2)
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=stable&device=apexqtmo
Also here is awesome instructions (stepbystep) to install everything on it.
