I posted this in general as well, but figured I'd post it in Q&A.
I was going to install the Revolution rom and downloaded the super wipe. I ran it through Clockwork-mod (mistake) and didn't realize that I can't mount my external SD card in CWM. After running super wipe the tablet only boots into recovery. I can not get my tablet to boot into APX mode. On my PC it does not even show that the tablet is connected. My /data is missing completely. Is there a way to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: Running CWM Touch 5.8.0.2

if the PC isn't seeing anything at all when you plug it in while it's in recovery, then it's a connection issue. Try another PC, and if it's still not seen, it's probably your cable, which is why you can't see the tablet in APX mode as well

It's not the cable. It was working fine prior to trying to do what I stated in the first post.
ADB could see it ... try.. if it can you can adb push or install twrp

Then it's a timing/driver issue of getting into APX mode and getting it recognized. You can't wipe or remove or brick APX mode, without seriously trying. It would involve booting the tablet using some very hacked script to use the primary partition table instead of the use accessible secondary table, as APX is stored in a partition that is more or less untouchable
Just plug it into your computer, and hold down power and volume up. Hold it down for like a solid 45 seconds, even if it keeps rebooting, If after you hold power and volume up, the screen eventually goes black, then you're in APX. Open up device manager on your pc and look for any new or unrecognized devices, if nothing then try a different usb port. But a superwipe script definitely did not alter your apx mode, I can promise you that
And if that still doesn't work, try a different PC. If that still doesn't work, then I'm still betting it's the cable. When's the last time you used it for data transfer, and not charging? They do go bad. If recovery is mounted and successfully booting, then its ADB server is running. Which, if you make a working connection to a PC, will be seen
Hi ultmontra08,
Are you sure it isn't the cable?
I ran into this issue as well, I was stuck in recovery mode http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1913905
If the cable is charging the tablet, it doesn't mean that it can't be defective still.
The computer should detect the device in recovery mode and apx mode. In my issue it didn't detect my device in recovery mode at all.
Until I got a new cable, I was able to see my device show up in Device Manager while it was in recovery mode.
I was able to narrow it down to being the cable because it would not show up on 3 different computers.

I caved and purchased a new sync cable from amazon and it fixed the issue of not being seen by the PC! I've seen other posts about cables going bad, but I didn't think it would do any good. I just restored the newest stock image and I'm going to keep it there until I get a Google Nexus tablet in the future. It's interesting that these cables go bad. I've had the same iPod usb cable for six years and have never had a problem with it.

Hi
Went to bed, surfed the web a bit, I had USB OTG Cable connected. Woke up this morning, went to turn it on and nothing. Thought the USB OTG had burned the battery so I charged it up, still nothing.
Connected to PC, tried the command: adb devices
Nothing.
Black screen of deadness on my Xoom. There is a method for restoring I believe, no? All rooting was initially completed using ADB but since 1.4.2 I have just used BRD's downloads and used Clockwork Mod recovery to install in recovery mode from zip on SD card.
The last thing I was trying to get working was NTFS partitions on memory sticks yesterday but didn't have any luck.
Would anyone mind telling me what I need to do?

TF101 Stuck at EeePad forever.
tried:
1. booting in to recovery, and reflash ROM, but the new recovery I used does not support external SD card.
2. tried wiping data etc...
3. tried the APX mode with Brks_root tool. I dont think it is communicating at all.... guess the USB debug mode is not on. ( cant turn it on since i can not boot into android..)
doesnt seems to do anything...
I guess booting into recovery to flash ROM is not possible since no external card support, and I do not have any ROM in the internal SD card...
anyone has another way to help me out?
I want to try the Nvflash unbrick tools but cant find any download-able link
Nvflash found and download.bat run. TF101 back on.
please delete this post . if you need to . =)

DONT PANIC..I simplified the instructions, this WILL fix it:
Nvflash unbrick tools... Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558170
go to his link that says hes hosting them on my own server. Should say XDAfileserver.
Asus Transformer TF101> ROMS>NVFLASH STOCK>ICS17> NVFLASH_ICS_9.2.1.17_US_NOROOT.7z(the active one should be Mar 21 2012 for the US one).
Unzip on your desktop than:
1. Connect cable to computer and turn device on while holding down Volume Up. Screen will stay off, but USB will come on. The Screen will never turn on.. thats normal.
2. Find “APX” device in Device manager and update driver by going to your device manager in Windows 7... its control panel>Hardware and sound >than Device manager. It stands out looking like a yellow (!) you can t miss it. then point it at usbpcdriver directory from the zip. If it says APX or Asus APX on your USB connection with your transformer, than skip this step and just follow the bottom command.
Last
3. double click Run download.bat.(its in the folder you unzipped).It says download with a gear icon..and thats it. the program does the rest. Save that on your PC for the future. its helped me out twice. You'll see the Transformer going threw commands like your using adb.
For the future, put both ROMS and Gapps (if needed) in the internal and external just in-case. Some only read internal and others read both. Depends on the ROM.
The internal is seen as a "virtual" one, so full wipe factory reset, dalvik and cache can be erased so you can flash it internally. After being rooted and flashing CWM instead of holding volume down+power or using a menu option.. just download this app from the market. Called: Transformer reboot to Recovery.
The app in your drawer icon is two blue arrows instead of orange and blue like the developers picture.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...recovery&rdid=com.transformer.recovery&rdot=1
that will always get you into recovery without holding power and down or using an option on the Tablet.. CWM from the app itself doesn't seam to enter recovery just restarts.. they fixed the contiguous boot-loop at least. I would use the app i gave you just to avoid all the issues getting into recovery for any changes.
Keep in mind that NVFlash i gave you will revert you to stock unrooted.. but at least its not dead or bricked.
I haven't found this issue so here is my story...
For some reason my lock PW keyboard changed to numeric on me today and for the life of me I couldn't get it to go back so after an hour of rebooting, flash back-ups in CWMR and removing the batery, nothing would get me back to a regular keyboard. I got flustered and just punched in stuff seeing that warning that if I fail again it will erase all data. I thought that will be a pain but I can restore everything in an hour or so because I back everything up, right? WRONG. All data was ALL F$%^&ng data! external SD, cleaned off too.
BUT hold on, I have it also backed up on my PC because I'm smart still right? No dice...get error E:Can't open /sdcard (bad)
So this is what I have to work with...
I can get into CWMR Touch v5.5.0.4 ( I can see what is on my external SD card but cant run anything)
I can get into DOWNLOAD mode BUT Oden wont recognize...it reads device connected for about 2 seconds and then device disconnected)
If im CWMR mode Oden will see my device...not sure if that is good or bad
if I just power on the phone it just goes to the samsung logo and starts booting but never quite gets there....( I left it spinning for 20 min and nothing...)
Any thoughts?
I feel if I could get ODEN to see my phone I would be in good shape.
Also I have another phone and SII and all is read fine so I know it isn't my cord, USB, PC, ODEN...
Thanks in advance
Oh...I think my phone isn't in debugging mode...and that could be it but how could I get in to check if I cant boot the phone?
First you have to make sure your phone drivers are installed correctly, so either download and install kies if you don't have it. Or if you have it got to connection troubleshoot, make sure your phone is not plugged, let it run and when its done put your phone into download mode and connect it. Let the computer install the drivers, don't unplug the phone until it's done or it may screw up. When its done close kies completely and run odin.
Did you try simply flashing a rom from CWM?
And I'm pretty sure you could get a restoration program and recover the data from your external SD card, usually deleting only means its being marked as free space but all the previous data should still be there until something new is written.
When you in download mode are you pressing the up volume to confirm you want download mode?
You can go into download mode but still need to hit up or down to confirm.
As for CWM not reading your external SD did you check to make sure that it's mounted?

CWM "read"s my SD card, ( I can see the rom and backup on it) but once I try to flash, that's when I get the error saying the the path is not valid :/
For DL mode, yes, I hit up and the little droid shows up saying Downloading. In the Upper left corner it reads
ODIN MODE

The only way I can get the phone to be read by my PC is in CWMR..Keis will not recognize it but I did reinstall the drivers.
Should I remount in CWMR? Would it still read what was on the card if it wasn't mounted correctly?
I got ODIN to read my device and was able to flash Stock ICS 4.0.4 on it!
Thanks for your feedback!

So it was driver issue after all.
Yup...not sure what the deal was with the driver though in the fist place. It wasn't like I reloaded it this morning. :/

Im on CWM v5.8.1.8 and it does not see the see an external sd card. I had "wipe data/factory reset">"wipe cache">,wipe dalvik cache> Flashed (EOS-tf101 20130704-121.zip and then gapps_4.2.2 tf101) and fixed permission and rebooted TF then it got stuck at "Eeepad boot screen"
I tried to install the Nake Universal drivers on my pc and laptop and neither seem to install it.
TF101 is not reconized by the computer in APX mode, (idk if its in apx mode) I tried many times to put it in APX mode.
I waited until the battery completly died and then left it charging for a day to make sure the battery is fine and cable works.
I then put it CWM screen and then try to put in APX mode while is connected to the PC or laptop and I don't hear any sounds from the PC as if reconized it. I can only place it on CMW screen and I cant put anything in the internal memory.
i finally got the linux live CD on my laptop. what can I do from here?

um. i think the usb might require root. Can you use wheelie to flash stock then root it. do not install any cwm because there is a particular one that was in rom manager that fails
apx mode should be a black screen. your device should register after typing adb connect..adb devices correct me as root or using sudo. then root it with an adb connection from stock. install goomanager and open recovery script(twrp). thats my gues. check for rooting steps/procedure I believe under the peri thread. hope all works well for you. i would recommend katkiss as well

I replied to your other thread. Can you see it as an ADB device? Type "adb devices" in a terminal window.
If so, I would push TWRP via ADB and install it.
If not, most likely you have a bad USB cable. I had one that still charges with the wall wart but will not work for USB (APX, ADB or MTP). New cable fixed it right up though.

I think thats my guess too, bad cable.(i order one today) but when i type adb devices its blank. i will try to push (twrp) through adb.
I replaced the cable and tried to put it in APX mode and still nothing. Tried 2 different computers. I left the tablet charging for 5 hours before trying. Also when I connect it to the computer and type Adb device its blank list.

OK,
I was trying to flash a new ROM and had some issues where it would continously reboot so, after some reading it seemed like I needed a new version of TWRP, so I updated it. That didn't help.
I decided to reflash the stock rom on the device but after doing that, it wouldn't boot past the ASUS boot screen. So I tried again (via fastboot), same result. So I tried again and this time fastboot crashed in the middle of the load and now the tablet won't boot or anything.
It seems like the tablet still has power because windows makes a funky sound when you plug it in.
I saw this post but pressing the tiny button with a paperclip doesn't do anything.
Edit:
Windows can tell I plugged something in but says there is an error and doesn't recognize it anymore. Therefore, I don't have adb or fastboot access.
Edit: I installed the naked drivers and got it to recognize the device as an apx. I then pointed it to the normal driver and is recognizes it as an adb device but I can't connect via adb.
Edit: Nevermind, it came unplugged and when I plugged it in again windows didn't recognize it.
Where in the crap do I go from here?

I only know something is going on when I connect it to a pc I can here it connect/disconnect when I hold the power button or press the reset button. Also checked the hdmi output on another screen to make sure that wasn't the problem....it wasn't.
