there is'nt asus transformer in the list
any one have a solution with that ?

Sounds like you have not rooted your TF yet. Check the Dev forum for the method that feels best for you and have at it. Then install the custom CWM posted in there also.
That'll get you rolling.

i 've root my TF
and i still dont see TF on the list ==

That's odd. When I rooted CWM was installed along side.
Have you tried to reboot into Recovery? (Reboot holding down the Power button and pressing Down on the Volume button. Then when the Recovery message pops on in the upper right corner....quickly press Volume up). You must be quick with that.

ok i'll try it
===================================
sloved !!!!
but why now i can't mount my sd card ?
they say "Error mounting /sdcard "

You need to make sure your uSD is formatted correctly. This error is not uncommon. Windows and CWM often cannot format correctly (uSD).
Use this: https://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/

ROM Manager is NOT compatible with the Transformer.
Depending of your method of root, a version of CWM usually get install with it.

And how should one be going about using this exactly? Should I assume that if one is running the usual flavours of Windows Fail that they would just download and install, it will auto detect the internal sdcard and microsd card where applicable, give you a drop down list of which one you want to format and have at 'er?
This was a issue for me after running the Asus Transformer root kit v7.1 and i managed to use nvflash and apply revolver rom and confirmed cwm as working but same storry with mounting sdcard. Please advice.

Take your micro sd card out, put it in a card reader and plug into your PC via usb port. Run the sd formatter program to format your micro sd card (save anything you don't want to lose first).

[Q] Stuck on Black screen

I have a Captivate that was rooted and working for over 6 months, and suddenly went into a black screen giving error on E:\.....
Have tried to install the stock firmware using ODIN in Download mode I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 and I897UCKJ3_withBL and both are a success, but as soon as I reboot the phone i get the AT&T logo, see the Samsung logo and then the screen turns black and I can't even see the phone on USB
Also tried loading the Pinnacle_Flasher and I can see the CW recovery menu, but after that point I'm unable to flash an update.zip (Pinnacle_1.2.zip renamed as update.zip on root of ext SD card) from the external SD, and am unable to copy it to the internal SD Card. Connecting the phone to the PC says the USB drive needs to be formated.
Appreciate if anyone can help in recommending any other steps I can take to unbrick the phone

It could be something is corrupt on your internal SD card. Have you tried enetering clockwork mod and mounting USB storage and then hook it up to your computer and reformatting it

What was the last thing you did? Install an app, browsing internet.........?

updated apps from the marketplace..

Did you actually name it update.zip, or just update?

i had the same issue. trying to look for the posts i made about it. i remember something along the lines of flashing to an old boot loader and an old kernel with cwm then doing all my wipes then doing a master clear via odin then via cwm again then tried flashing to stock. im probably neglecting one of my steps though.
oh and make sure you let it charge via wall plug for at least a half hour before you try anything.

[Q] TF101 Wont Boot after update

I have the TF101 with the b90 serial. Ever since running the latest update my TF wont boot. It sits at the Asus eepc splash screen. It is not rooted running all the stock software. I have tried a number of things and all of them seem to fail.
Things ive tried;
-I have held the power button down for 20seconds a minute etc and it just goes back to the asus splash
-tried to hit the reset button on the side
-held down the power + volume down till white letters. tried the cold boot and the data wipe.
-tried to do hold down power + volume down and hit the volume up to do the RCK recovery and it loads for a quick second then gives me an Android logo with a yellow caution sign.
-going to asus site and taking the firm ware saving it to a microsd card and trying to boot the TF with the card in. no luck there either (unless i was doing it wrong)
Does anyone know a fix so i can get this thing working? Any help is appreciated. This is my aunts tablet so im new to the android OS.

Did you place the firmware in the root of the SD card and booted into recovery (power+vol-, vol+)?

yea i unzipped the file into the root of a sd card and did the power + vol - then volume+ when u see white writing and i just get the android olog with a loading bar for about 1 second then goes to a android with a yellow caution logo and sit there.

Ive never flashed a ROM on the TF using the stock recovery, so I cant really be sure if this is correct but...
On my Novo7Basic, you have to place the .zip file (not extracted) in the root of the SD card, and name it update.zip (I know the TF needs to be named something else, but I dont know what).
So you could try just placing the .zip file in the root of the SD card.

Just to make sure the sd card has to be formatted FAT32? I downloaded the us firmware off ASUS site and I unzip the original file u get off their site and inside there is another zip file i save that zip file onto the root of the SD card.

this is quite frustrating havent been able to use this thing for over a week. id be willing to root it or put cwm on it to reflash it but im not sure if i can do any of that without being able to get into the OS.

Did you rename the zip to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip ?

You should use the CWM 6.0.1.0 version. Also, the best idea is to use a secondary SD card, not the internal storage. You will notice that in the recovery, the option names are wrong. The one that says "external" is actually your internal storage.

Oh okay thanks, but i only have a option for external, btw can i charge my phone in recovery mode

You need to copy it to the external card if you're staying stock, either in /extstorages or /emmc, depending on hc or ics. Sdcard is your internal partition

Rooting Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus GT-P6200
Here is what worked for me. I got a lot of help from a lot of people on this site, so I want to share the knowledge.
I downloaded two files (which are attached to this post).
Put both files on your EXTERNAL SD CARD. If you don't have one, get one.
Boot into recovery mode. To do this, shut off your tablet and then press the power and volume up button at the same time. When you see the Samsung logo, let go of the power button only. When you see the next graphic with the android you can let go of the volume button. You should be in recovery mode now.
Use your volume up/down button to highlight 'apply update from external storage' Press power to select
Use your volume up/down button to highlight cwm.zip and press the power button to select it
** When cwm appears DO NOT use the volume +/- buttons anymore. Instead use the touch screen to do the rest of the procedure
In CWM use your finger to choose 'install zip from sd card'
Now, (not sure why) use your finger to tap 'choose zip from internal sd card'
Use your finger to scroll down until you see the root.zip file that you copied to your sd card and tap it
From here, you're good to go. I have no idea why I had to choose the option to choose zip from INTERNAL sd card, especially since I didn't do so. But, regardless, this worked for me. I installed Superuser and Titanium Backup without a problem.
I hope this helps you. I am by no means an expert at anything Android, but this site did go a long way with helping me out. I hope I was able to do the same for others.
One thing I did not understand is why, when I was asking for help with rooting my tablet, people suggested I use Mobile Odin. Mobile Odin requires the tablet be rooted to use it, so using Mobile Odin to root isn't possible unless I am misunderstanding something.
Edit: Now I am embarrassed. I just found this, after the fact.

You're almost there!

I got confused with that too, but I succeeded:
Sorry, Christiaan, but YES, there on the bottom you will find INTERNAL CARD too.
When you choose INTERNAL CARD, in fact it uses you SD CARD.
After choosing INTERNAL CARD, you will see your SD CARD folders. Then you will be able to root it!
go ahead, man!

Can you please help me on this problem ??I am fowling all the steps and I cannot goo on recovery mode .
Thank You & Sory for my Eng.
Or I have to root the device first?

in this sticks recovery seems in some case as corrupted, but you can install the new os by simply booting from sd,
open the stick and remove the original sd card, is on the bottom side, in a sort of pocket
dowload the disk image on your pc (.dd or .vhd is the same)
restore the virtual image from your pc to the sd card, using winimage or similar
once restored put back the sd card in the stick
reboot and you will have the update rom
until developing will not increase I think we will have issue on recovery, but there is a growing community on this stick

Thank You stremax
