[Q] Rooted but still can't see recovery

I have a 9023 - 4.03. Was having the usual dark recovery screen problem. So freshly rooted my fone using the nexus hacks link on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421814
And still when I go into recovery the android logo comes and vanishes and all goes dark so cant update to 4.0.4.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Have you install rom manager? And tried to reflash clockworks?

Actually, I made a very stupid error. I tried to reboot and go into recovery in a normal way, instead of typing fastboot flash recovery twrp-crespo-2.0.0RC0.img in the commnad prompt and then going into recovery as instructed. Once I did that I could load the update.zip from the root and install 4.0.4
For the record, complete beginner, just followed a step by step guide and rooted to get 4.0.4. For all those worried about screwing up, if I can do it, so can you.
Cheers!

[Q] Clockwork mod bootloops

Hello. Today i managed to install small update from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563249
I sucessfully flashed it through cwm, and I also booted. But then i accidentaly pressed OTA asus update and im now stuck in Cwm Recovery v3.1.0.1 (solarnz-R-230511-1902). I cant access my nandroid backup since this recovery doesnt support internal storage and i when i press reboot system i get recovery loops (tablet restarts but android wont boot, im again in cwm). So i managed to flash some other versions of cwm, i flashed them, but again, after reboot im still in this recovery ... then i tried this guide http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...overy-bootloop-fix-tested-my-c10-windows.html but i havent set an adb to my device before so when im in command prompt it doesnt recognize my tablet so its pretty awkward (maybe because i havent usb debugging on - is there any way to turn it on??). So im an epic noob, can someone give me advice how to unbrick my lovely tablet? I´ll be very very greatful please help...

If you have an sbk v1 version you could use nvflash to unbrick. Check your serial #

Hmm, I already solved it Just did cold boot and wrote some things with terminal emulator...

Hi,
Am exactly in the same situation, have to cold boot to use the tablet.
Could tou please detail what you did to solv the problem once under android ?
Thanks in advance.

Check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23339963 . You'll need to connect to a PC and us adb to connect (Google it if you are not sure what it is or how to use it).
Then reboot since you'll be right back in CWM, run the advanced script. I would replace that version as soon as possible with the working version of CWM.

[SOLVED] Bricked my Transformer....

Hi all,
I had my Transformer up and running on CM10 when I decided to give Asus JB a try this morning. As a preparation I tried to switch from TWRP to CWM. So I followed the instructions here using dd in a terminal on my tablet. After this I tried rebooting into recovery (Power + VolDown).
But I didn't work, it took me directly to a message saying "OS will cold boot in 10 Seconds if the selected mode is not confirmed". I had the choice between wiping and fastboot.
So I went into fastboot and tried to reinstall TWRP using fastboot. This worked withoud errors but after a reboot to recovery I got the same problem. When I choosed wipe date the splash screen from TWRP came up for a few seconds and then it disappeared and I shows me some lines telling me that it wiped my data - and then the device reboots.
A normal reboot led me to a screeen showing the ASUS Logo and the "The device is UnLocked" in the upper left corner. And nothing more happens...
So tried to reinstall CWM using fastpath which also worked without problems. After reboot still no direct access to CWM, had to go through wipe-data again and then it jumped into CWM. I installed several different Images with CWM but none of them solved that problem. The device still istn't able to boot into OS or direct into CWM.
I also tried to flash the blob file from stock firmware using fastboot, but after the transfer ended and it startet to flash it stopped with an red line saying an error occured.
Now I'm running out of ideas how to solve this problem. Any ideas?

If you have working fastboot maybe i can help you,what's your bootloader version?

I'm not sure, is there a way to see the version?

Connect your tab to your PC
Open a command windows on your PC
Goto your fastboot directory
type fastboot devices
you will see bootloader version

ok,let me put it this way,did you ever upgraded to 9.4.5.30 firmware?

No, not before my tablet got bricked. I tried to recover with a stock Rom afterwards and accidentally downloaded and flashed .30 instead of .26
Maybe this makes things worse but the problem is not caused by that.
Btw: thank your for your support

Did you used NvFlash tool while you were on .26?Anyway you should come here on irc --> http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=asus-transformer <--- it's easier to chat than here on forum.

No, I stupid idiot did not make a backup with nvflash.
I really appreciate your support but unfortunately I'm not at home anymore so I can't chat for the next hours.

Have you try this :
Code:
*** Factory Restore after a softbrick/Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore ***
When You Need This?
* if you get stuck on Asus boot screen (the one with the spinning wheel)
* If you don't like JB and you want ICS back
* if you want to get back to a clean stock firmware
Note: You need to have a working recovery (stock or custom) in order to use this method.
========= Recover /Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore with stock recovery =========
1) Download the latest firmware from Asus site (based os your SKU,eg. ww 9.4.5.26 * to downgrade from Jelly Bean you need the 9.4.5.30 firmware)
2) Extract the .zip file somewere on your desktop (the result will be another .zip file,use it for step 3)
3) Rename the extracted archive to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE" (without the " ") and upload it to a MicroSD card
4) Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet and use this button combination to Power ON and go to recovery --> Start the tablet by pressing Volume Down and POWER togheter for 5 seconds ,a message will inform you that you have 5 seconds to enter the recovery,press Volume UP before the 5 seconds expire.
At this point the device will go in recovery and should start updating your firmware .

Yes. I tried this but it does not work. When I start with pressing Power and VolumeDown the system only lets me choose between wipe data and fastboot mode. It does not recognize any system update files

Problem solved...
Hi,
just to let you know I solved my problem. After trying a lot of different possible solutions described in a lot of threads nothing worked for me. Finally I flashed JellyBean through CWM from external SD Card. This did not change anything but after booting into fastboot mode I installed the kernel blob extracted from a zip file found here by using
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash boot blob
And that's it.... after 10 hours of try and error I finally got my device up and running again....

Device stuck in bootloop?

Hi guys,
So this is my first post but I've been on XDA for a long time. I've been looking for an answer to this problem, and I haven't been successful in finding a post that regards to my situation...
Ok so I just got my tablet today. I upgraded to JB and then I unlocked it using the asus unlocker. I attempted to install TWRP, but when I use .blob files and attempt to load into recovery it didn't work. Anyway, I looked around and I installed CWM recovery instead.
I installed v5.5.0.4 following this guide:
http://theunlockr.com/2012/05/25/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-asus-transformer-tf300t/
Now, I notice it's written back in may of 2012 aka before jelly bean... anyway so I installed this using fast boot, and booted into recovery and it worked. I believe I installed the ICS version of CWM. I tried to install Clean Rom v3.3 and I just get bootloops. I can still boot into fastboot and clockwork mod fine.
I tried to install v6.0.1.4 via this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846554
But once again if I boot into recovery it just does nothing and reboots after a few seconds.
I re-installed v5.5.0.4 and I can wipe data/install everything just as I normally would, and I still have access to Fastboot. Can I get some help on how I can 1 install the correct CWM and 2 install a working rom? I don't think I bricked my device just yet since I can still flash in fastboot etc.
Thanks guys!

You cant't wipe data from bootloader menu, If you do that, you will get unrecoverable brick.

Sorry I believe I mislead you -> I wiped data from within CWM.
Anyway, I used this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757077
I went back to stock and I think i'll stay there for a little while longer, this process made me nervous (I've rooted my thunderbolt, droid DNA, galaxy tab 2 7" and my friends phones) so anyway I believe I installed the wrong CWM and that caused errors trying to install a JB rom on a ICS CWM... If you have any insight let me know...

My suggestion is to flash the latest stock JB blob.
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
Once you get it sorted then flash the latest twrp for jb.

Now, when I try flashing blobs and I go to boot into RCK (I believe that's the term...) it just reboots the tablet instead of booting into recovery.
Android software is out of my element, if this was some C (somewhat similar to C) or Matlab I would better understand (I'm a senior Mechanical Engineer in college)
Edit:
Ah didn't see your post. I did what you recommended, and actually, while my device said it was on 4.1.1 JB, when I hold pwr/vol down I see a completely different menu now than last time, so I wonder if perhaps my OTA didn't correctly load everything from the firmware update hmm...

The same way you flashed cwm.
Windows? Start - in search type cmd - press enter
In the cmd window cd to the directory with fastboot.
Hook cable between tablet and usb port on computer.
On tablet hold power and volume down till you see the bootloader menu.
Down volume till you are at the usb symbol - then volume up.
This should put you into fastboot mode - use the commands above.
Wait till the first command completes before you give the second command.
[INDEX][04 Feb 2013]TF300T & TG-INDEX of Roms/Dev Guides/Kernels/Recoveries/etc. You will find the stock firmware here as well as most other needs.
You will have to unzip to get the blob which you should place in the directory with fastboot.

Thank you very much.
So after flashing the most resent blob, I successfully installed CWM recovery and successfully flashed a rom. I'm not sure what the issue was before. Thank you for the help! much appreciated.

[Q] TF700T strange brick

Hi guys!
I have a TF700T... and i used to follow Cromi-X JB... Then i changed to 4.4 Cromi-kk... and it started looping...
I've then tried to flash Cromi-x jb back again and the boot loop continued...wiped out cache/data and still nothing... re-flashed rom and it entered on an Android Menu said that the system was currupted and had to get back to recovery to flash stock... now i can't enter de icons boot to enter recouvery... every hard reset/ shutdown just goes directly to CWM and android Dude shows up trying to reset but it stays dad way forever... can't do nothing
help ?
The only think i see after tryind to enter recouvery is what u see in attach jpg...
thanks!

Versions, versions, versions...
Bootloader?
Recovery?
Looks as if the recovery is still trying to finish something. Did you interrupt a wipe or format?
Do you have adb access in recovery?
