[Q] Wiping Data - Asus Transformer TF700

I have had my TF700 for about a month and half now after returning my first one to Amazon after tried to install NVflash and bricked it ( that a disaster I do not wish to try again, long story) . Anyways I have been playing with it to become familiar with everything. Now I want to install the official stock JB just to see what it will do. I am rooted and have the OTA Root Saver app. I have downloaded the the US JB zip from Asus and put the zip file in it on the external SD card. Here is where I am stuck. I boot into recovery by using the power button and the volume down button. I release the power button when I feel the vibration and the volume down button when I see the press vol-down vol-up in small lettering in the upper left. I now have the Wipe Data and Android icons on the screen. I use the volume button to move over to the Wipe Data icon and the and then use the power button to select it but then, Nothing happens. I really do not know what to expect since this is a little different from my Viewsonic G tab that has CWM installed and it shows at the bottom screen that Wiping data is in progress. What am I suppose to see after selecting Wipe Date in the Asus stock recovery?
A second question, if I wipe the data will I lose my OTA Root Saver?

First Volume down is to select the icon and Volume up is to execute (not the power button), Second issue, if you use the full version from Asus you are going to wipe out your root. You must use the incremental upgrade file dlpkgfile. Here is the link read post # 87

SORRY FOR BAD LANGUAGE...but i really realy realy need help

hi all,
heres the deal. i rooted my defy with superoneclick, it worked great.
heres the problem and what i think is the cause but i need a solution!
PROBLEM: i switch my phone on, it starts normally
motoblur screen
then
T mobile screen
then
the normal swipe unlock
i ulnlock it fine but as soon as i do the wallpaper dissapears/goes black. i cannot access any apps. none of the buttons work (menu,home,return/back,search) but the info bar/ menur bar thing at the top that swipes down works fine and what ever is in it works fine i.e when i plug into usb im able to choose portal and tools and those other 3. but when i just leave my phone on lock then press power button/activate unlock screen. it will show normal background with time and everything looks normal.
the CAUSE ( i think )
i was installing apps and deleting motoblur stuff. but it it was one of those two, i isntalled an app and i deleted a file at the same sort of time. the app installed was some startup app killer or a firewall of some type. or it could have been that i deleted an apk file that had a real short name i think, like blur.apk
PLEASE HELP ME. I need a solution FAST its my first smartphone ever and i paid alot for it. if you need my phone info it was
moto defy android 2.1 uk version but then rooted with super one click
THANK YOU IN ADVANCED FOR ANY HELP
ps i have installed rsd lite and it is recognised by it but thats as far as i know what to do...
Did you get my PM lol saw you in the other forum.
try to do a factory reset on the phone from the recovery menu. if anything, reflash your rom or pick a new one. I had this issue with a few mods/roms/kernals aswel.

i sent you a pm too. thanks for being so quick to reply. but i dont know how to do that stuff im a noob this is my first androidsmartphone ever but im a very quick learner
all good. For my phone. ( droid incred.) when the phone is off i hold power and the volume up key. then i select recovery using the volume keys. I know the buttons to push are different on some phones so you might neeed to use google to find the right 2 keys to hold down while booting
i currently have it in boot loader mode, it says battery ok, ok to program, transfer mode, usb. and thats all it says. no recovery options at all
Ok, found this in another forum. this is how to get into your boot menu i guess:
The boot menu happends when you press the volume down key and the power button.
When it takes you to the triangle part press the volume up key and the power button this action brings up another menu on which you can reboot and other settings.
the first triangle with exclamation mark inside it with the lil andorid man comes up, but the second menu doesnt, im holding vol down and power to get up this image, the to get second one you say to do vol up and power...i tried it, held it for a while but still no joy
ok, give this a try
"If you swipe the bottom right corner when you see the triangle you will get a menu. From there you can reboot or reset"
Still looking for more
nope sorry still dont work. i really appreciate you spending your time doing this it realy does mean ALOT. thank you i hope the solution isnt far away!
Ok, this is from the t-moble forms:
One suggestion...
Pull the battery.
Hold down the volume down key and press the power button.
Continue to hold the volume down key until you seem something happening on the screen.
This should boot you into recovery mode, you'll see a little green Android stood next to a yellow warning sign.
Press the bottom-right corner of the screen, a menu should appear.
Use the volume keys to scroll up and down.
Scroll to 'Wipe DATA/factory reset' and press 'ok' (bottom-left of screen) - you may need to re-confirm in a sub-menu.
After the wipe completes, scroll to the 'reboot' option and press 'ok'.
If you do that, you completely wipe the handset, same as if you performed a full factory reset on the handset.
Obviously, this will get rid of anything you have on the handset but if your only other option is an exchange, you've nothing to lose really.
http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/discussions/index?page=forums&topic=801038121b7ab9012dee673eff007b6f If you wanted to look. its the 2nd guy down. issue has nothing to do with this but same steps
it says it worked that it did the reset properly but still same original problem.
it says first line....
E:cant open /cache/recovery/command
that is in the recovery mode / reset
do you have a rom that you can try to flash? any rom really just to rule out a rom issue. you can try to find a rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=855&order=desc&page=1
im going to give it a try ill get back to you to let you know how its going within the next 20 mins, thanks for all your help
here is an option for a factory reset.
1. Turn the power off on the Defy (if it's frozen, pull the battery out & reinsert it)
2.Hold the volume down button
3. Press and hold the button until the device turns on
4. You'll get a menu that allows FASTBOOK, RECOVERY, CLEAR STORAGE, and SIMLOCK
5. Select CLEAR STORAGE, by pressing the Volume Down button
6. Press and release the Power
7. Now just confirm your decision Volume Up for YES, Volume Down for NO
it says on rsd lite . fail flashing process. unable to retrieve initialization values from INI (0x07029);phone connected
isnt working for some reason
that menu...mine says
from top to bottom
Android system recovery <2a>
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
(then at the bottomit says...)
E:cant open /cache/recovery/command.
but yet it will still go through the process like it is working but it doesnt fix it
Did you try the top option. Android system recovery <2a>
i wish i had that same phone to replicate this problem
im sorry i didnt write it clear enough the top android recovery thing isnt an option, its like the header/title for the program or page its written in red. the options to choose are in blue

[Q] I can't use Clockwork Recovery - No volume buttons!

Hello all! I was able to get CWR 4 installed on my Augen Gentouch tablet. I booted into it, but then realized I can't move up and down since I have no volume buttons on the device.
None of the buttons do anything, except the power button, which selects the first option (Which is "Shut down" or "Reboot" or the likes)
Any ideas? Is there a magic way to remap keys for this?
I can't even get the stock recovery program back on because CWR 4 has me stuck
Thanks for any help
Same issue!
Got a 8 tablet with samsung S5PV210 ARM A8 Cortex
Three buttons on the front, no volume buttons, so pressing the down volume button and power to get into recovery is not poss? Rom Manager just boots to stock rom even if i press " install rom from SD"
Anyone?
We cant be the only ones who got one of these lol
Cheers
Danny
I am using a version of Clockwork Recovery on my Photon that takes over if you have the charge plugged in when you turn it on.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
would love to know the answer to this myself.
Solved!
But now i need a good rom?
2. Update your Tablet, using the recovery console
1.- shut down the Tablet
2.- Press the "HOME" Button, and then press the "Power" button TOGETHER about 2-3 seconds.
3.- The android system will start, and stop at a page with a small android robot, press the "power" Button about 2 seconds, and then press the "HOME" together.
4.- The screen will show the below 4 choices:
1) Reboot system panel now
2) apply update from /sdcard
3) wipe data/factory reset
4) wipe cache partition
Select option 2 by holding down the "Power" button, once complete reboot!

Yeah, that's coming. It has buttons on the screen for navigating the menus. I'm not sure if it's gonna be device-specific though, or if it will be generic enough to include regardless of your device.

Since you're pure stock (no root or unlocked), there only a few things you can try:
1. Cold boot (turn off, then hold volume down and power button until you see white text on screen, now release both buttons. Next hit the volume button to move the highlighted to the Android icon, then hit the volume up button twice.
2. Factory reset (go to settings - backup and restore. This will wipe out all your setup/apps/data etc..reset back to like when you brought it new )
3. Manually upgrade (IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO STEP 2 - Download full Asus firmware, unzip the file then copy the new zip file to the root of your sdcard, you should see an "update notification" popup in the notification), tab on it and upgrade.
4. May want to give Asus tech a call to find out why the update is not working.(this is your choice as an option).
Good luck!
EDIT: Make sure you have a backup of all your important stuff.

Factory reset did the job, right after it rebooted from the reset, I got the warning for system update.

[Q] Xt925 Rogers how to wipe data and cache

I found instructions on how to wipe data/cache for xt926 by holding volume up + down + power and selecting recovery, then hold volume up + down when android guy with triangle comes up. Can someone with a xt925 on rogers/fido give it a try. When I tried it, i can never get it to go past the android guy with triangle. I wonder if rogers/fido gimped the recovery on purpose...

Are you on ICS or JB system ROM?
I have a Rogers XT925 and was able to do the VOL- and VOL+ buttons simultaniously. Actually, I held down the VOL- button and pressed VOL+ and it worked for me.
FYI, my qe is 0/0

On JB now, which is why I need to wipe data/cache. After the OTA to JB, my phone just burns the charge in like 6 hours, someone suggested to wipe data and cache.

I would say to let it run for an entire day without rebooting. You night be stuck building your media cache. I've seen that in the past.

Not familiar with media cache, does it still apply if i have no songs, video or that kind of files on there?
Also, do you mind sharing the dummies step by step on how to get to the recovery menu, tried again, still won't go past the android dude with the triangle icon.
Thanks!

Here's how you do it:
Alternate method
Ensure the device is powered off.
To power off, press and hold the Power button.
Select Power off.
Select OK.
Allow several seconds for the device to power off.
Simultaneously press and hold the Volume up + Power button until the Boot Mode Selection Menu appears then release.
From the Boot Mode Selection Menu screen, press the Volume down key to select Recovery then press the Volume Up key.
From the Droid triage screen:
Press and hold Volume down.
Press and release Volume up.
Release Volume down.
Select wipe data/factory reset.
Utilize the volume keys to highlight and the Power button to select.
Select Yes -- delete all user data.
Allow several seconds for the factory data reset process to complete.
Select reboot system now.
Allow several minutes for the reboot process to complete.
Initial Activation and Setup.

[Q] Failed to start recovery mode

Hi guys,
I have a problem to start in recovery mode, which means I can't flash roms and even re-root my tablets.
The major changes I did should be:
1. I un-root to firmware(not likely i guess)
2. I delete all the files in my tablet by connecting to a computer and select all items and press delete( perhaps I accidentally delete something that is important)
Now once I press power on/off with Vol down I can still access to 3 icons
I press Vol up to RCK then I saw Android died with the "!"
do anyone of you know how can I fix it?

Copy the latest Firmware on your SD card. Re name it to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip"
Go into recovery, and it should reflash and reset.
however, the issue that i stated is primarily about failed to access recovery mode instead of solely failed to flash roms
TF300T is killing me
i think i am in a sinking boat, i cant get my lovely tf300t to give me the options anymore...if i power on the unit it goes dtraight into CWM 6.0.2.3 and i get all of the messages at bottom of screen (E:\Can't mount /cache/recovery/command and so forth) my guess after reading some i shouldnt have used CWM and should have used TWRP. it wont wipe data at all wont do any of the options cant even load anything from sd card. how can i get back to factory so that i an start again, please send help
Thanks
Mike
