[Q] Unable to boot into Recovery

When I hold Power and Vol Down I get the text prompts, I hit Vol Up promptly and get the Android with gears turning animation for about 10 seconds, then get the Android with the warning triangle and can't go any further.
Any Suggestion? Tablet is a B80, rooted via Nachoroot. I have an SD card in the microSD slot.
I have Clockwork Mod (reboot into recover does a normal reboot) and Gnufabio's Reboot2Recovery (which ends with the Android and the warning symbol). It is my understanding that Rom Manager can't update the bootloader, so I haven't even tried.

Are you sure you have CWM? Have you installed it?
When reboot to recovery doesn't load CWM is usually because CWM is not installed.

Let me clarify. I have ROM Manager, and yes it's installed. I can't install a 3rd party Recovery because the bootloader is encrypted. It's a new Transformer (B80 s/n), not one of the older ones.
I am unable to boot into the stock recovery by any of the methods listed in the OP.

ROM manager doesn't do anything for the TF. Just because you have ROM Manager install doesn't mean you have cwm recovery install.
You need to install CWM recovery as suggested by AzureusPT.
Go on the theme and app section and look for RecoveryInstaller. That will help you flash cwm.

[Q] Cannot Enter Recovery!!!

Hi.
Just rooted my TF101 (B80) using ViperMod V4,5.
SU working fine, got root access and everything.
My only problem is that i cannot enter recovery mode. I get the android with the red triangle.
I press Volume- + power, then volume+ and it says:
"booting recovery kernel image"
After that i get the android with the triangle.
Any idea how to solve this problem?

What you see is the recovery, only it's the stock recovery.
To get cwm recovery, use RecoveryInstaller by Gnufabio. Just look in the theme app section

I have used the recoveryinstaller.apk and still the same result. Then i tried installing a recovery using rom manager but still the same.
Can i use adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 command?
P.S. I forgot to mention that i am on stock ICS ww.9.2.1.17

Yes (I think). I used basic root checker and it says that is rooted. It also ask for super user access for it.
Ok. Solved.
I re-downloaded the recovery installer and everything is ok now. Thanks

I had the issue where I had the constant recovery loop and had to manually cold-boot linux every time. Then I followed all the directions that supposedly fixed that and it seemed to work (I could boot straight to android from power off). Now I can't boot into recovery at all. It just hangs at the Asus logo if I choose "reboot into recovery" and it hangs at "booting recovery image" if I use volume down. CWM shows that my recovery image is installed but there is something preventing it from launching.
Is there a way to format the recovery partition and flash it again? I tried the CWM "erase recovery" and that didn't work.

You have to hold the volume down at boot like you are booting to recovery, but then don't do anything and a menu to coldboot linux or to erase userdata comes up. Just wait and it will boot android.

After being rooted and flashing CWM instead of holding volume down+power.. 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
Ive noticed alot of people having issues booting with Clockworkmod into recovery or using power down and selecting recovery. (unless its done by hand). That app is a direct way into recovery. Most ROMs ive seen do not enter recovery even when the option is present.
Here is gnufabio, Recovery Installer - flash CWM with a Click

after flashing use the Transformer reboot to Recovery app i listed above. Ive used it and it works.. i use the app to enter recovery all the time.

restore tf101 to stock rom and recovery

How do I restore my tf101 (b80) to stock rom and recovery? I found one thread, but it said it didn't work with ones b70 or higher.
I currently have CWM recovery and Cynogenmod 10 if that makes any difference

Go to Asus website, download the latest firmware.
Extract the zip file from within, flash in recovery (clear data, cache and dalvik cache first)
After it's done, reboot and you'll be stock ROM, unroot, w/ stock recovery.

Same problem. Latest firmware downloaded from Asus website, installed with CWM recovery, rebooted aaaand ... nothing changed!
How's that possible? I can install a custom ROM but not the stock one?

Did you extract the zip before you flashed it like Baseball said?
Asus has a zip within a zip. Wrap your mind around that one.

Yes done, even if I don't understand why Asus put a zip inside a zip ...
Anyway, I did a full wipe, reinstalled the stock ROM, but no luck: CWM seemed to install the ROM, but when I rebooted I found the same old custom ROM ...
I must add that in the custom ROM I installed before (AOKP) 3G and WiFi also don't work ... this is why I want to rollback to the stock one.

I can't thank you enough Vitush!
it all worked perfectly for me, particularly as I was at this stage 2 days ago when I first got my Asus!
I had done many things since - rooting with 1click went fine, and I made 2 backups before I then I tried roms from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2592890 and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2592890
both went on fine, and seemed great, but then I noticed that my sdcard was not showing in either rom, nor were my USB sticks!
I had lost all external storage! ... all in all quite a disaster, and my wife was doing her head in!
I spent ages trying to sort this out, and failed, so I went to put my backups back on, but they also failed with 'android_secure.img not found'
and my tablet just kept hanging at tha Asus logo. fortunately I was able to get back to CWM and did what you advised.
over the years I have rooted many many Android phones with no problems, but this is my first tablet.
for once I will accept defeat and stick with the stock rom (I may still root it though)
I could hug you!

Normal boot says "encryption unsuccessfull, encryption was interrupted and can't complete" (but I can see the MTP device over USB). In recovery mode, Windows does not see the device at all (can't install APX). Is it possible that the recovery is also bricked ?

To return my TF101 to stock I have used Easyflasher found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012. However, you will need to be able to enter APX mode for this to work. To enter APX mode, you must first install the naked drivers. Here is a tutorial on how to install the naked drivers http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-tf101-development/31927-frederuco-s-guide-root-rom-tf101.html.

Now that we have the Naked Drivers boot to APX mode. Attach your USB to your tablet (not the dock) and Hold VOL UP and POWER for 15-20 seconds.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am not sure what APX mode is.
In normal boot, I only get the encruption error message. No way to enter normal Android to activate USB debug. TF101 is seen by computer as MTP device.
If I press vol-down, and power, then vol-up, I get a droid with blue cube, then, with a red keyboard and a triangle, and PC can not see device at all.
Both were tried with dock. Without dock, tablet is in heavy trouble to start; proably dead battery.
If it can help, I can open the tablet, change the battery, power directly via the battery pins, or mess a bit with inernal components.
Is that tablet completely bricked ?

TF101s are pretty resilient and can usually be restored to stock. However, your easiest path to doing that is to enter APX mode and use the Easyflasher app. Did you check out the link I included in my post above from Transformerforums? In it, at the beginning it explains how to enter APX mode. It requires the naked drivers to be installed on your computer that you will be connecting the tablet to (undocked). Once the naked drivers have been installed successfully, you can then connect the tablet to the computer via the data cable and hold down the power and volume up (+) at same time till screen goes black. You can verify that the tablet is in APX by opening Device Manager on computer and you should see the ASUS device identified as being in APX mode.

My setup is complicated; I don't have a legacy Windows; Windows is installed inside an emulator inside Linux. So, I plug the tablet on the Linux workstation, and then, I forward the device to the Windows emulator. The thing is that, in recovery mode, Linux does not see any device at all. This means, the tablet does not declare itself at all on the USB bus. The question is not about drivers, or compatibility: the tablet does not annouce itself on the USB bus.
I know how the USB works; I worked a bit on USB drivers. I messed with them a lot a few ears ago. And I know how my Android phones behave.
The tablet behaves like a phone which has "USB debugging" unticked. And since the system is unaccessible, I can not tick that. On my phones, the tick has effect on recovery mode.
Even if I installed the APX drivers on an other computer with a real Windows, I just can't see how it would see the tablet, if the tablet refuses to be a USB client.
But, the cable and plugs are good: when I boot in normal mode, and get the encryption error message, the tablet comes out on the bus, and Windows can see an MTP device.
Are the APX Windows drivers required to make the table become a USB client ? This is very unlikely. Am I in the only case in the world where an emulator would be an issue due to hardware reasons ? Which kind of signal would the Windows driver send to the bus to tell an undeclared tablet "hey buddy, come around, I am waiting for you" ? This would not seem "USB compliant" to me, to have communication with a device hidden on the bus. I am not aware of any kind of USB droadcast.
And yes, I tried withOUT the dock.
Trying again now: in crashed mode, I get: Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0b05:4e0f ASUSTek Computer, Inc.
In recovery mode, I get no new device.

Someone else will have to help you then. Good luck.

[Q] Cannot install TWRP

I managed to root my TF101 using this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1689193
The problem is I TWRP is not installed.
When I press Volume Down + Power buttons and then The Volume Up, my device goes to a screen with 2 icons, "Wipe Data" and "Android" and after 10 seconds it boots to Android. I assume this is the stock recovery.
I Tried:
1) Both EasyFlashers (http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...t/31927-frederuco-s-guide-root-rom-tf101.html)
2) Goo Manager
3) Terminal Mathod (http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/109)
All of them failed.
Is there anything else for me to try?

What were your steps when you tried using Easyflasher ?

I confirmed the device was in APX mode, through the device manager.
Run EasyFlasher.exe and chose the SBK1 (my TF101 is B60)
Chose "TWRP 2.2.1" and pressed Flash.
Everything seems to be working, since both in the command prompt and the device I get that the process was successful, but booting to recovery does not run TWRP, instead if goes to the screen I mentioned earlier.

Not sure it matters, but did you run Easyflasher as Admin ?
Ensure the correct APX drivers were installed ?
Reboot the TF once before trying to enter recovery ?
Held the Vol Down & Power from a powered off state until the white text appeared at the top of the screen, then hit volume up to enter RCK ?

1. Yes, I am administrator.
2. I used Universal Naked Drivers 0.72 from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942
3. Yes, after using any of the methods mentioned, I allowed it to reboot once normally.
4. Yes, I get the screen I mentioned with the Wipe Data/Android, when I press Vol Up after the Vol Down+Power combination.

When I say Run as Admin, I mean Right click the exe and choose Run as Administrator
I'd try using the drivers included in the Easyflasher bundle here (EDIT - Dev recommends the drivers you used anyway)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
As it uses APX this shouldn't matter, but make sure USB Debugging is enabled in Developer Options too and let it install the drivers while powered on and connected to the PC
I'd try another USB port too to rule that out
Which SBK/Serial is your TF?
EDIT -Another thought, are you running a stock ROM atm? Which one ?
You could try using Peri to flash TWRP

Your TF is SBK1, so should have no problem getting a custom recovery flashed to it, the only thing I'm wondering is if the stock ROM is causing problems, I seem to remember someone else with stock having problems getting a modern custom recovery flashed too
Unfortunately the only way to flash KatKiss is from custom recovery TWRP as the ROMs are released in flashable .zip format
Do you have another PC you could use to try and flash TWRP via Easyflasher ?
What OS are you running on your PC ?
At least one of the methods you have tried should have definitely worked, so long as the TF is in APX mode, the drivers are installed, and the PC can see the TF, Easyflasher should have done the job
I never recommend flashing CWM as it screws with JB ROMs, but it might be worth trying to flash that recovery first, then a custom ICS ROM, after that if you get that far, try installing TWRP again before trying to flash a JB ROM
Just make sure you don't flash a JB ROM with CWM recovery installed

Hmm, you could try clearing the data / cache from DMClient in Settings > Apps > All
Code:
1. Settings
2. Applications
3. Running services
4. All
5. DMClient
6. Clear data
7. Force stop
8. Shut down and restart the tablet
Maybe there is an old update file stuck in cache causing problems
Have you tried factory resetting it 100% ?

I did a few things, at the same time.
1. Changed USB port.
2. Used the original EasyFlasher.
3. Cleared and force stopped the DMClient, which I believe did the trick.
Now, TWRP got installed, although It also did a hard reset to my device. When it opened, I had to setup the device like it was the first time I turn it on.
Anyway, I think I will continue to Kat Kiss installation now.
Thanks for your help.

Ah good news, yea it does sound as if the DMClient was stopping the install, Im not sure exactly how it works, but possibly if the TF thinks there is a pending update, it won't allow the flash until its cleared
Good thing you mentioned it, I was almost at a loss as to what was causing the problem
And yep, now you have it installed, make sure you are up to date 2.3.2.3 (Use GooManager to install the latest version), and then you can install any custom ROM you like from TWRP

Ah good news, yea it does sound as if the DMClient was stopping the install, Im not sure exactly how it works, but possibly if the TF thinks there is a pending update, it won't allow the flash until its cleared
Good thing you mentioned it, I was almost at a loss as to what was causing the problem
And yep, now you have it installed, make sure you are up to date 2.3.2.3 (Use GooManager to install the latest version), and then you can install any custom ROM you like from TWRP

Won't boot to recovery

I'm having an issue where my tab won't boot into the recovery. I'm running cromix 4.7.0, and downloaded twrp 4.6.1 through goo manager today...when it reboots and is supposed to go to the recovery but it just reboots. I also tried booting yup recovery from the power menu, and the bootloader and the same thing happened. I was cleaning up files that were taking internal memory space today, could I have deleted something that's causing this issue? Thanks in advance.

Sounds like it didn't flash properly to me. I'll be preparing a new version of my bootloader and twrp flashable zip later today after I test twrp 2.6.1.0
Have you tried flashing twrp via the fastboot method?

I did try the fastboot method as well.

The only time i had this issue was when i used Hund kernel (which had a know reboot to recovery bug) and the workaround was to press the Power button until the tablet reboot, then access to Recovery was granted. Otherwise i have no idea what might cause the issue.

Since installing CM10.1.3RC, reboot to recovery from CWM doesn't work. Both TRWP and CWM recoveries fail. Can manually enter recovery. Goo Manager will still reboot into recovery, either TRWP or CWM. Seems like this started with the installation of the latest CM RC.

Have you considered reflash the latest Asus firmware and fastboot TWRP or CWM? It may solve your problem..

I'm reluctant to nuke my current installation, particularly since it reboots to recovery with Goo Manager. I'll wait for the next iteration of CM or CWM, if it doesn't solve the issue I may go for it.

This worked, but had to boot to the bootloader then recovery. Thanks

How would I go about doing a flash of the latest ASUS Firmware, I am currently on CM 10.1 and cannot get into recovery (even using goomanager). I did try to flash via fastboot but it does not seem to work. There is an error when I select RCK in fastboot, I can't remember off hand but it has to do with fastboot error, could this be my error?
