if you want to update rom you can use nvflash version (revolver and prime have it)then you can retry via cwm.i had this prob weeks nago and i resolve with flashing with nvflash and then my cwm read properly the microd new..hope this helps,in my case it works week ago!

Ran into a problem installing JB rom EOS

Hello guys
I am new to the rooting scene and I ran into a little problem. I followed an instruction online to root my tablet (TF101) and got Rom Manager to work. I also flashed ClockworkMod by using the rom manager. I am trying to flash my rom into the Jelly Bean from EOS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782410. I did a full back up of my stock rom and ready to install the new rom. I put the downloaded file (from the link I put) into the root folder of the main SD. But when I try to install the rom from rom management, my tablet just reboots and nothing is installed. I really have no idea where to go from here. Please help !

I got it to install but now I am stuck at the boot screen! What now?

You have soft bricked the tablet...
Can you access CWM ?
then download the latest build of team eos (build 63)... create a folder in your external MMC and save it in there
Go to recovery/cwm and format factory settings/data, wipe cache wipe dalvik cache
Now install the ROM by navigating to the folder where you have saved the zip file and selecting it...

When you say mmc, are you talking about the micro SD card? I have been installing from the internal SD. Do you think that could have caused the problem? Also when you say format, do u mean delete everything and place the JB zip file directly into the micro SD?

Problem fixed. I just followed this guide and got a new CWM and that seems to work great
Here is the guide for anyone with the same problem.

wipe internal storage

Hi everyone,
how can I wipe all the data from the internal storage of my TF101?
I am using the Rogue XM Recovery 1.3.0 atm
Thanks

Go into Android Revolution HD's OP and you can use the SuperWipe. But beware, make a back up of your internal on your PC, as there is no going back. When it is wiped, it is gone forever (insert evil laugh here).

[Q] Rom Update ---> No copy/paste function of storage

Hello all,
I have a big problem with my Transformer.
I was using Android Revolution HD 3.5.1. Then flash LiquidSmooth v2.0 RC7 , then KERNEL of sainthout for JB, and issue happened.
Issue:
- Can't copy and paste any kind of file from outside into the internal storage (I don't have sdcard, use internal storage only). Everytime I try, it takes a long time and respond with a Windows message like this
- Can't use File Manager to delete or move file, it says "Delete file failed"
- I can delete file while connect to PC but the file still exist.
Try to flash back to Android Revolution HD 3.5.1 and harmony kernel but it still failed.
Need advice.
Kind regards,thanks

Update troubleshoting:
When I wipe Dalvik Cache, Transformer says: "E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]"

Use easyflash and go back to stock, then root it again, install a different recovery ( twrp or rogue recovery)
Sent from my Transformer using xda app-developers app

I had a similar problem. Seems like between JB and ICS roms the permissions get messed up. I have a user "media_rw" in JB and "sdcard_rw" in ICS on the mount to /sdcard. The only way I could fix it was to backup the data and reformat the internal memory. Then I just copied the data back.
One other thing first, try copying from /data/media. That should be the same as /sdcard.

OMG I don't think there is someone got the weird issue like me. I totally agreed with you about the permissions between JB and ICS roms.

Internal memory can be wiped using twrp recovery, I'm not sure that option is available in rogue, if its there use it... wipe everything and install CM10 , it should work.....
Sent from my Transformer using xda app-developers app

This is what I had to do. Wipe internal memory from TWRP. I copied the data back after format using Root Explorer.
I had some scripts setup to do the copy recovery, but I think that only made the problem worse.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I meant only the data you didn't have in the backup or wasn't in the backup. I agree, the key is the clean install.
When I had my issue, my "internal storage" in wasn't backed up. The Download, Android, Pictures, etc folders.

SOLVED! thanks you very much for your advice bro, it works with me now!
To anyone who has the problem like me, please follow this thread.
And one lesson for me, always backup the current rom before update anything!!!

You're more than welcome. I'm glad I could actually help someone for once instead of feeling like such a leech.

[Q] Clean install of a ROM

Hello all,
I would like to reflash CROMi-X and the MAX kernel but this time I want to do it as cleanly as possible. What are the steps to do this. I see it referenced all over that it is best to do a clean install but I can't find out exactly how to do it.
Sorry if this is a stupid question or if it is detailed somewhere that I could not find it but I want a good procedure that I can use whenever flashing new ROMS and kernels to be sure there is nothing hanging around that would cause variability in the install.
Thanks in advance for any help
Jeff

Depends on which recovery you have installed -- the most often recommended sequence seems to be "wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache, reinstall". Obviously, you may need to remove some apps' data folders from /sdcard by hand.
The opinions are divided as far as wiping the caches is concerned -- some do, some don't.

In TWRP select 'Wipe > Advanced' and then select everything except the external microSD. That'll give you a nice and clean installation.
Just make sure you have the Rom you want to flash afterwards on that microSD, not on the internal where it may get wiped

Yeah, it has to be FAT32. Actually exFAT seems to work too. Just tried it, and TWRP sees the nandroid on a 8gb exFAT fine. Didn't try to restore though...

Hi, without hijacking this thread - i've installed Cromix and everything is running great, but i can still see folders and files i had created when my 700 was stock. Am i doing something wrong here? I would have thought that wiping everything except for the microsd card would have given me a blank slate to start with but it seems there is a fair amount of data left over after the ROM flash.
Actually as i'm typing this i've just had a thought, is it a case that the documents, pics, wallpapers etc are on a separate partition (for want of a better definition) and they're just visible after the installation?
thanks,
sean

I have noticed that problems a while back when I am using TWRP 2.5.0.0. Therefore, I always prefer to use Format instead of Wipe.

If you wipe or factory reset in TWRP, it erases everything except the /data/media folder, and that is where your data lives.... You have to manually erase those files if you want to get rid of them.
Interestingly, you'll find symlinks to the contents of /data/media in 4!! locations:
/sdcard
/storage/sdcard0
/storage /emulated/0
/storage /emulated /legacy
This crazy structure is due to the multi user support in JB 4.2. I still have a hard time to get my head around it....

How incredibly bizarre....but interesting nonetheless. 23 years in IT and it's time to start learning again. I kept going back to Settings>About and could see that the ROM was flashed, but the sight of the old files was making me think 'maybe it just reinstalled over the top of the stock ROM without deleting any data'....sort of like when windoze does a repair and keeps the data. Now that i understand user data is stored in a separate place away from the ROM itself, it makes it easier to upgrade and mess around. Backups are important, but it's nice to know you don't have to constantly relocate data and files when you're doing an upgrade.
Thanks for the info.....these forums are an absolute boon for people willing to ask questions and i'm amazed at the knowledge base that's been accumulated and is being shared - for the first time in a long time, tech toys are fun again. Now to choose a Kernel!!!!

The rom gets flashed to it's own partition: /system/...
If you watch the script when flashing CromiX, the installer formats the system partition automatically before flashing the rom. So you did not install over the old rom. The Data partition is different.
I'm now backing up data/media and then I will use the "Format Data" option in TWRP. Wanna know what exactly happens
Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2

Just an update...i haven't changed kernels at all and i'm not going to be. This thing is faster and more stable than i could have wished for. Since the ROM was flashed i've stopped messing around with it and it just runs like a dream. It never reboots unless i tell it to, doesn't hang when i have multiple apps open and the battery life is fantastic.
Thanks for the advice berndblb :good:
