Hi
I recently got a Asus TF300T with the latest firmware. As I wanted to "root" it I unlocked the boot loader and tried to install a recovery kernel as explained on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668173
Everything seemed ok :
$ ./fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (5306 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.960s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 6.230s]
finished. total time: 7.190s
But when I try to start the RCK, the ASUS says "Booting Recovery kernel image" but nothing more happens.
What am I doing wrong ? Is there another way to downgrade to WW_epad-user-9.4.3.30 ?
Thanks
what recovery are you trying to flash mate?

Hi !
If you have the last Asus Firmware Android 4.1.1 , you can install this recovery : TWRP 2.2.2.0 ;
- extract twrp.blob file from archive ;
- just put your device in fastboot mode and type > fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
:good:
If that dont work yo might need to direct the cmd programme so let us know if it works or not, but i was having similar problems and that file is w h a t i got installed

I have an unlocked, rooted 300T with JB which I flashed to 10.4.2.13 using the existing installation of TWRP which has now disappeared when booting+Vol Down. I do not seem to be able to re-install TWRP using fast boot as I get this message.
Code:
C:\Users\Mike\Desktop\Fastboot>fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
sending 'recovery' (7304 KB)... OKAY [ 2.058s]
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 2.061s
I have searched extensively and cannot find a similar issue, but without TWRP I cannot then flash a custom ROM...:crying:

Are you installing the jb compatible twrp? what happens when you try and boot recovery?

I have downloaded the 2.2.2 jb blob from here. When I boot into recovery & select RCK I get an android on his back with an exclamation mark in his stomach.

When you used twrp to flash stock it includes recovery which overwrites twrp. Go back to the instructions to fastboot twrp, do so and you should be good.
Good Luck!
Try a new download of twrp!
Reboot your pc, only plugin your asus and no other device, retry fastboot.
Forgot, if on dock remove from dock reboot pc and asus and try again.
Clearing cache maybe? Just a shot in the dark, never seen this one. I can tell you I flashed ota v13 and it blew away my recovery but I was able to get it back easily.

After following numerous google links - too many links fastboot, I found one resolution. Another device used on pc and usb drivers installed since last use of unit giving links error. Resolution was remove offending drivers, reboot pc and profit.
Good Luck!
I'm having a bit of a different problem. I have flashed twrp 2.2.2 several times and each time it says okay but it isn't updating it. I still have 2.2.1.5 installed.
Code I'm using...
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery tf300t-jb.blob
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It goes through the install and says OKAY at the end yet it doesn't actually update the recovery blob.
Blew away cache, used fastboot again on twrp.blob and got same install fail error message. However, on power on + vol down RCK now works with TWRP, which is kind of odd, but there you go. Thanks for all the suggestions...
glad you got it fixed

Three things come to mind.
1. Try to flash as twrp directions show; without adb reboot bootloader.
2. Verify you are trying to flash the proper version for your bootloader; ics or jb.
3. If the above two items fail redownload proper version for your boot loader and try again.
Note: The twrp page also shows how to flash with adb!
Good Luck!
Terminal Emulator is an easier way to flash TWRP imo. But hey.

TWRP Install Fail
Hello,
I am having similar issues, but mine results in the following:
sending 'recovery' (6292 KB)... OKAY [ 2.706s]
writing 'recovery' ... FAILED (remote: (InvalidState))
I have unlocked my TF700T and I have followed all of the instructions I have seen posted everywhere. This is where I am stuck.
Any advice?

this is the tf300t forum. Make sure you are installing a tf700t TWRP

I noticed that after I hit reply. I was using all of the correct TF700t TWRP and whatnot. I found this in a google search because it was similar to my issue. It turned out that even though I thought I had unlocked my device, it did not unlock. I fixed that and now I am all set.

The warning invalid state normally applies to the bootloader being locked make sure your bootloader is unlocked.

Tried to flash CWM recovery, but can't boot to it. I get the dead android with !.
Fastboot claims it's writing recovery fine, but apparently it's not. There are no instructions anywhere.

This is a 600.
Well I am at a loss. The download to root the phone is missing from here, so that eliminates my last option.
No wonder hardly anyone's succeeded in getting a ROM onto these.
As I remember you said on another post that you're on Linux... So try using ARP (link on 7Heavens Projekt on my signature) it roots the Xoom, I remember when I turned to Stock my Xoom and tried that, worked fine.

Hey guys,
my bootloader is unlocked - so far, so good. however though, when I want to flash cwm, I'm getting this result:
C:\xyz>fastboot flash recovery cwmrecovery.img
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
target reported max download size of 31457280 bytes
sending 'recovery' (6632 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.558s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.838s]
finished. total time: 2.397s
so it looks successful. But I still have the stock recovery. When I'm trying the rom manager from the playstore alternatively, I'm getting an error right aways after the cwm download (looks as if nothing happened in between). Error message is simply "An error occurred while flashing your recovery"
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
After you fastboot flash recovery, IMMEDIATELY reboot to recovery. Do not reboot to Android.
Take a backup. Then boot to Android... should stick.
Yeah, I learned that the hard way....

Weird! I had the similar issue as described above. I'm able to successfully flash the CWM flash to the SPH-710 for me. However, can't boot INITIALLY to the CWM boot; It's able to successfully go into normal boot; But Volume-UP, Center button Power button, just blinks the custom boot screen once then the screen becomes blank for some time.
Can't get out of the Stock ROM boot up to CWM;
Got desire HD which has a faulty firmware and most of the process gets killed and im unable to do anything like installing new app, Bluetooth connection or accessing memory through PC.
However, it does lets me connect to the PC
Details of DHD:
2.3.3
S-OFF
Stock recovery
Background:
Since I’m unable to install any app in it, I got hold of iRoot software and it says rooted successfully
now I got few recoveries
Problem:
adb reboot bootloader .. Goes to fastmode usb
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img … CMD says everything went successful
sending 'recovery' (4002 KB)... OKAY [ 0.777s]
writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 1.372s]
finished. total time: 2.150s
fastboot reboot
Now it reboots and starts again in android. When I go back to bootloader screen it is still the same no custom recovery installed?
I also have tried going to 'recovery' option in bootloader after flashing recovery the phones gets stuck on HTC green logo and white background

I think when you flash a recovery and you boot into android, android overwrites the custom recovery with the stock one. Try to boot to recovery without booting in android.
