the best for me is cwm.. the twrp is little more 'dificult'
I was on CWM until about last week, then I decided to take a look at TWRP again. I never tried CWM 6 so I can't compare TWRP to that, but navigating through TWRP is way quicker. The thing I hate about CWM (hopefully it isn't like this anymore in CWM 6) is confirming a wipe/install/format whatever. It takes ages and is really frustrating. I also disliked the menu layout. Why is wiping dalvik cache in advanced? Nobody knows... In TWRP, the things you need when installing a new ROM or Kernel is right there, when I flashed Air Kernel it even asked me whether I wanted to wipe cache & dalvik cache. Lastly, I prefer GooManager over Rom Manager. Automates the whole flashing process, if it automatically did a titanium backup restore after flashing a new ROM it would be perfect . So far I haven't experienced any bugs in either one, but they both seem to have some.
Hey,
my tf101g boots only into cwm,
i've tryed to flash a new kenel for ubuntu in ubuntu and it goes wrong.
Ubuntu runs with mountloop from internal sdcard.
now my tf boots only cwm even when i try to "cold boot it".
ive tryed to flash a other recovery, a new android kernel and the original stock firmware form asus.
but nothing worked.
Normaly there is a green bar at the first reboot after flashing something new, but now this not happen.
cwm works completly i have access to all partitions.
Has anyone an idea to solve this bootloop?
Thank you
(i hope my english is understanable)

If it boots into CWM Recovery, then.... try the following:
Go to TF101 forum and find/download latest non-touch Clockwork Mod recovery zip.... I heard the touch versions don't work properly yet. Or you can try a different recovery called TWRP 2.3.1.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818452
Put .ZIP on external SD card along with the ROM you wish to flash (make sure the ROM is bundled with a kernel.... safest, most stable ROM I would recommend is an ICS one such as Android Revolution HD... just browse or search the TF101 forum for it).
Get the SuperWipe script from Android Revolution HD ROM thread.... put this .ZIP on the external SD card also.
Now, reboot and go into your recovery. First do a Factory Wipe. Then run the SuperWipe .ZIP. Superwipe will format and clean out your data, system and cache.... finally, Wipe the Dalvik cache. On non-touch CWM recovery, this option is found under "Advanced"... also do a Fix Permissions (this is also found under Advanced).... then reboot.
Should be okay after that. No guarantee though.

SuperWipe wipe will erase and format INTERNAL sd system, and cache and data partitions. That is why you should always use an EXTERNAL sd card. Put your ROM zip, recovery zip and superwipe zip on an external SD and always use an external SD. This is how the manufacturer required updating this device also.
In addition, TWRP recovery has issues flashing certain roms because it fails to mount staging partition... I just realized this after testing it. So please flash clockwork mod recovery non-touch HYBRID..... The hybrid version works with flashing from internal and external SD, regardless, I but make sure it is hybrid because there are internal and external only versions. Flashing from internal sd is an OPTION on this device but the best method is always external.
Flashing a bootloader shouldn't be necessary unless you were tinkering with it before. But if you want you can search Tf101 forum for the tool to do that in the Reference sticky post on the Developer forum.
I have never had to mess with bootloader on this device..... But it's not impossible. I had to do bootloader upgrade on other devices when coming from gingerbread to honeycomb. So if you are coming from a 2.xx ROM to a 3.xx ROM then research that.
I searched quite a bit but was left unsatisfied with the answers provided.
1. How to fresh install roms (cleanrom in my case)? Just factory reset in recovery before flashing (TWRP 2.4)? Wipe Cache, dalvik before or after?
2. What's the proper order for wipe cache\dalvik\data? Is it before rom installation, after or both ?
Lets say im using stock rom and want to do a clean install. I just want what comes with clean rom. No leftovers from the old installation. What steps should i take?
Thanks guys

I consider what I want and what is suggested as the proper install for the particular rom (see the op as roms vary).
You don't want anything left so I'd do spring cleaning. In twrp ( update your twrp to 2.4.1.0 ) if I wanted clean as you say I'd wipe cache, dalvik, data, and system (no formatting just wipe). Before you do this make sure you have one known good backup on your internal sdcard and on your external sdcard. You should also have a flashable zip on each. Insure you can see these files on both cards (with twrp) before you wipe. If you practice this method you will always have an out if there is a problem. If you don't then with what has been wiped you are assured a brick at sometime in the future. I do this before to clear my unit; when you are told to do some wipes afterwards this is to clear something in the rom you are flashing.
Sorry but I was required to say that as you never know who might see this in the future and not know to protect themselves.
Make sure you are unlocked. Install TWRP 2.4.1.0 over fast boot from a PC or too manager if you are already rooted.
You can install CROMI straight over stock with a dalvik cache and cache wipe but if you want a clean system just wipe data via the factory reset option inside TWRP (not the boot loader) and then flash the CROMI file. Recommend odex if you are just starting out.

thanks. thats pretty much what i did the second time. after failing to do a clean install i went back and almost used format which i guess is bad for those who dont know what the hell it does.. but the red letters in twrp swayed me away from that option
@sbdags
yep i chose odex
not sure if/how i can mark this thread as resolved
anyway.. thanks

That sucks. There's software out there that can probably help you recover what was on your card.
As for a clean install, you'll probably want to throw a ROM image/zip onto another SD (if you plan on recovering from your current one) and then get into recovery to flash it.
It's a pretty general set of instructions, but as sbdags said though, you may find better advice in the right forum.
Hey guys, I downloaded the official LiquidSmooth v2.7 installed it on my Galaxy S2 i9100 following the usual installation procedures. The problem is when I try to reboot it, it can't go beyond the new boot animation. I tried to re-install it but same problem persists. I would like to hear your advice, please.

Sounds like you have corrupt system files. You might need to start from scratch here. Try downloading the ROM again with a solid internet connection. A big factor is if you are coming from a different rom or stock android. Use Titanium Backup Pro or GO Backup Pro to back your phone up. The official Roms are from [goo.im] then navigate to your model make sure you have the correct one. Make sure you aren't crossing any data from a different rom including app data this can corrupt system files unless you are coming from a previous version of LiquidSmooth. If you are coming from a different rom you need to factory reset > wipe cache partition > then wipe dalvik cache all in the CWM recovery menu or whichever recovery you have then don't forget it to install your gapps zip. If you are trying to upgrade from a older version of Liquid Smooth before you install you need to wipe the cache partition and dalvik cache > Install Liquid 2.7 > wipe dalvik cache again > then install your gapps zip again I had to. If you are still having problems you might have to [format the sdcard] also in the recovery menu but can be risky. This is your last resort to try I've had to format mine before. Let me know if this helps. If not then you'll need to use a different rom or flash stock android back to your phone.
HI, i have been having isues with my asus tf101 baterry, about one month ago it suddenly charge and discharges, like: 10%-25%-40%-70%-80%-100%...I made a factory reset but nothing. 2 weeks ago, it solved alone, without do anything, and was ok for 2 weeks, now again i have the problem..
i have installed cwm recovery, i want to change to android revolution rom, to see if the problem finish:
1 question: How i change from cwm to twrp recovery? installing twrp from cwm using a zip? is there no problem?? or downloading goomanager, installing recovery script?? Is there any problem to use cwm or twrp( i have read, to instal kk i dont use cwm)?
2 question, what rom is stable to try to solve this? i see kk 4.3 etc, but i just one my baterry works ok...
3 question, is there any way to clean absolutely the stock rom? i tried wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset(again) but nothing solve.
4 question, is possible to wipe ALL including system, and install the asus stock rom using zip¿?
Thanks for your atention, please be the most specifically possible because i am new on this, and i just one my tablet for study(read books).
I have a asus tf101 b70 root, with CWM recovery is a old version 5.0.26 something..

Q1: I think you can just flash the new recovery via the current recovery if you have the new recover zip file.
Q2: Kat Kiss works fine for me.
Q3: If you want to completely return to stock, you would have to use NVFlash. There are tons of instructions on the Dev thread. I primarily use Tubuntu for flashing with NVFlash. [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995157]
You can find other images as well. I used a stock image once to RMA the tablet but now I'm not sure where I got it. This method will ensure that every bit in your memory is exactly as it left the factory. Including the bootloader, recovery partition and everything else.
Q4: Refer Q3.
Download flashable TWRP 2.6.3.11 zip for TF101:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devd...ct/dl/?id=3280
You should use TWRP for KatKiss ROMs, do not use CWM
Flash that Zip from CWM then reboot fully into your current ROM, then reboot into Recovery to check it has flashed properly
From TWRP you can wipe everything and flash KatKiss & Gapps

Is this the same process for going from TWRP to TWRP? just "install" the newest version from recovery and do the reboots?

Yep, so long as you reboot into your ROM after flashing the new TWRP before booting back into recovery
Thanks for your reply, i will tray soon. So i want to clean the asus stock room to see if battery goes ok, i tried wipe data, cache, dalvik, with cwm, but nothing.
If i install twrp what more options can i try before change the rom? what more wipe do i need?? and finally, if i change the rom, is possible to go back to asus stock just flashing from recovery? or how should i do?
Apart from wiping the ROM (SYSTEM) there's not much else you can wipe, you could try wiping the same as you have already done, but from TWRP, see if that makes any difference, maybe the battery is coming to the end of its life
You can flash stock ASUS ROMs back again from TWRP yes, but you will wipe your recovery & ROM back to 100% stock by doing it
Best thing to do is to make a full Nandroid Backup from TWRP before flashing any custom ROMs, save it to MicroSD Card, then if you want to go back to the way it is now, just restore the backup from TWRP
That way you keep TWRP and can switch between as many ROMs as you like and always have your stock backup to go back to whenever you want

Thanks!! I will try, but apart from wipe system(rom) what more wipes can i try without erase the rom?..I think not, because a week ago the battery was perfect working...i hope so.
CACHE,
DALVIK CACHE,
FACTORY RESET,
INTERNAL STORAGE,
FORMAT DATA
Only other 2 options are SYSTEM & EXTERNAL STORAGE
