I was working on porting Android 4.2 and flashed my work. Unfortunately it didn't boot. I am currently using this version of CWM recovery. I had another kernel sitting on my internal SD to flash. Unfortunately in an attempt to get it to boot I wiped /data, which includes the internal SD. My recovery doesn't appear to read external storage. Another unfortunate thing is that usb connection hasn't worked in quite a long time. It doesn't show up under lsusb, no matter what mode I have the tablet in. All I have access to is that version of CWM recovery.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks for reading.
Have you considered reflashing the whole image using NVFlash in APX mode?

Hello,
I flashed CWM on my tablet but it is encrypted. I need to decrypt it to be able to flash new ROMs. The problem is that I cant wipe it with CWM because of the encryption .
Where can I find the stock recovery for my WW B80 TF101 with stock ICS ?
I did find a US recovery for Honeycomb on the Unlockr, but I'm not sure if that would work.
I can't use NVFlash since it's SBKv2 either .
I'd appreciate any help I can get on this. Thanks for a great forum, I've had a lot of help here before with my old Windows Phones .

What version of CWM recovery do you have and how did you flash it?
The stock recovery from the unlocker.com need to be flash via CWM, since you say you can't use your CWM that's useless.
Have you tried installing a different CWM recovery?
Here you can find Roach's 3.2.0.1 and Team Rouge CWM recovery.
(both are install via RecoveryInstaller)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22359727&postcount=218
What do you mean by "encrypted"?
What are the errors you see when you try to wipe data on this device?
What is the CWM version you are using?
Perhaps someone will correct me, but a properly installed recovery does not care about data encryption to be able to format the partition (i.e. wipe). Stock recovery will not help in this. It will simply remove all the useful commands and interfaces and show a nice picture of a dead droid.
I can flash things trough CWM but CWM cant see the sdcard since its encrypted trough honeycomb/ics builtin encryption setting. If I find the right recovery I would be able to flash it . If I try to factory reset from settings it does absolutely nothing since it tries to boot into stock recovery . Factory reset from cwm does nothing since cwm cant touch the encrypted sdcard .
I've read that no CWM can touch the encrypted partition since it doesnt have the password. Only stock recovery can wipe an encrypted tablet. Other than my cwm cant wipe encrypted tablets it works fine for me. I can flash other roms but they are completely useless since they cant read my encrypted drive.
Does someone know if it matters if I use the US recovery for honeycomb? Or where I can find the recovery for tf101 ics ww.
Ps . Im sorry if this post seems like a mess, I'm really tired and my soft keyboard sucks.
your only choice in your case is if it's CWM 3.2.0.1 is to take your SD card out of your tablet use a card reader and FORMAT your Card FAT32 then save the roms you want to it then boot back in to CWM and it will see them after that
if you have the newer CWM with the Blue controls is Will not use the MicroSD CARD
is uses Onboard Memory and your going to need to some how get ADB to see it.
install android dev kit and send a few commands so CWM can see the microSD card. it's very much like fixing recovery bootloop.
i know your pain i own B50 (SBkv1) B70 & B80 (both SBKv2) and a prime
Did you try the team eos superwipe?
Also I think he is talking about the internal sd and not the micro.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
ok here is what i did for my boot loop i did to figure this one out with encryption on
only Do this IF you have ADB working
Get in to Recovery and Format your Partations Then reboot to recovery a 2nd time
and do a adb push i pushed (Team Rouge CWM Recovery) But in your Case
pushing TF101 Rooted Stock 9.2.1.17 + bootloader + modded recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552303
Might be best as it will fix and problems your having with recovery and switch it back to the MicroSD Card Slot for ROMS
after trying it i think i will Stick with TeamRouge Recovery
lots of guides around on how to setup ADB

What version of CWM do you have? If it's the 5.5.0.4 than it only read from the internal SD.

He means the internal mmc (the location of /data).
@rodstrom, if I understand you correctly, you are saying that once you encrypted your tablet (through an option in the security settings), you cannot wipe /data (or factory reset) through normal options in CWM or another recovery. You think that the only way to wipe data on an encrypted /data partition is through a stock recovery. Correct?
That sounds weird to me, but I have read similar comments in other places. If this is true, then the "encrypt tablet" option is a danger.
Have you tried to format /data using the CWM's "mounts and storage" menu? What was the result?
Have you tried what @Dreamboxuser suggested: the superwipe?
Can you try to format using adb commandline while in CWM?
feisty_noodle exactly!
I can't wipe from settings since it tries to reboot into stock recovery . And I can't wipe from CWM since the eMMC is inaccessible because of the encryption .
From CWMs "Mounts and storage" I am unable to format /data since it is inaccessible . It says something like that it cant read it...
I have not heard of the superwipe, but I'll have to google it. I haven't tried formatting through adb yet, but I'm not sure if that would help.
I'm pretty convinced that I need the stock recovery to wipe the eMMC .

OK, I misunderstood.
@rodstrom
The SuperWipe can be found in Revolution ROM thread.
Becareful using it, if you have a CWM version that read internal only such as 5.5.0.4, it will wipe all you files. I suggest using Roach's 3.2.0.1 or Team Rouge recovery if you're going to use SuperWipe script.
I had the Team Rouge recovery earlier. Although now I have 5.5 something and I can't do anything at all with it . How do I install Team Rouge again ? I tried the modded RecoveryInstaller but nothing happened , just a reboot .
Also I have to cold boot everytime it has turned off . I really need to change my recovery now , if not to stock then at least to something else than 5.5...
Bump,
I'm in trouble here, I have CWM 5.5.0.8 which can't read my external MicroSD, nor read my encrypted internal SD.
I can't flash anything now... What can I do? Is adb an option?
If I can't find my stock recovery I would at least like to have a useful recovery which can read my external MicroSD so I can do something at all.

Hi again!
I'm back and I have tried to follow the post you linked. The problem now is that I can't seem to connect with adb when the device is in recovery mode. Adb works perfectly when booted normally though.
To mount trough adb in recovery mode seems to be exactly what I need, so if I can get adb running in CWM I believe this would be solved.
Maybe another possibility could be to change the mounts in CWM's init.rc before I reboot to CWM, but I don't know if it is possible, or where that file would be. What do you think?
restore stock recovery
I have a rooted TF101 with stock ROM and cwm recovery. I would like to restore stock recovery and keep the other things as is so that I can do OTA when its available. After did may search, I finally found a way and restored stock recovery
successfylly. I would like to sharte my experience with you:
1. The stock recovery is "8239USrecovery.zip". The file name is kind of misleading, but it actaully is a universal
stock recovery for TF101. See "Asus Transformer EPIC NOOB GUIDE."(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494230)
2. The cwm 5504 as from market app "ROM MANAGER" has a "boot into recovery loop" bug. I changed to roach's cwm version
by
2.1 boot into cwm recovery and flash cwm_recovery-5504_roach-tf101-r2.zip.
2.2 cold boot, use terminal emulator to issue
su
echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0
2.3 reboot
3. boot into cwm recovery (roach's version), flash 8239USrecovery.zip and then reboot.
After reboot, cwm is gone.
I can't flash anything at all though, because of 5.5.0.4 only reading the internal sdcard which is encrypted.
If I could get adb working in CWM I could mount the external microsd and flash things again.
Is there any possibility to change CWM's mountpoints from within Android OS?

Hi i have my asus transformer and i flashed twrp 2.2.1 touch for it. I was having trouble clearing data and formatting it. I had a rom Revolution hd on the internal sd. so i flashed clockwork mod latest and rebooted to recovery. i cleared data skipping /data/media for the internal sd card. then when i went to try to flash revolution hd it appeared as if the internal sd was wiped. i checked everything and it appears as twrp did clear data but still just kept saying fail. mow im stuck with clockwork which only reads internal sd and no boot cuz it got formatted by twrp too. i have tried adb and nv flash etc but cant get any working. my computer doesnt recognize my transformer for nothing. im on WINDOWS 7 ultimate 64 bit. i have tried mostly every possible fix but doesnt work. i have also tried download mode but no luck. IM THINKING LINUX MAY BE THE WAY TO GO??? ANY SUGGESTIONS???
Had you taken backup of current ROM ? Do you have external SD card ? In my case, all the backup from CWM recovery is kept in external SD card only. Otherwise, you can try to MOUNT the SD card from recovery, I think it is in advanced option. If you are able to MOUNT, then you can copy the ROM and flash it again.
If you can get APX mode working (holding vol up,down and power at same time at boot) and your computer recognizes it, give whitekidneys EasyFlasher a go (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012) to get TWRP back on, then restore back ups etc as gurung_vishwas1 said they are located on the external sd card. try updating TWRP to the latest version also

im on ClockworkMod Recovery v5.5.0.4 roach-tf101-r2 i dont see an option to mount the sd card. Yes i had a backup too but it got wiped off when twrp wiped data but kept saying fail. I think it was just a bad flash of twrp.

Thing of Doom will be able to help you much better then i can. The only thing i can think of is to install asus sync, which i belive comes with all the required drivers. Or you could try the universal naked driver (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942) but i havn't used it so i dont know if it will work for your situatio.
So one fine day my TF101G runs out of juice and shuts down. I did the usual, plug in power cable, wait for a while before powering on.
However this time the TF101G is stuck on the loading screen.
I'm on No-Name CM10.1 4.2.2 by josteink with CrossBreeder.
I also have TWRP installed, so I booted up with TWRP and tried to see what can be done. I noticed that there was an error message saying unable to mount /data regardless of what i try to do.
I supposed that would be the root of my failure to boot into the OS itself?
If so, what can I do to recover back into 4.2.2 without losing data?
Many TIA!
ok it appears that I'm unable to mount internal storage also.
I can enter TWRP but I cant do anything because i cant mount internal storage and /data

I know nothing about the G model but at that point I'd say you have to give up on whatever data was on there. Just start over, reflash a new rom. If it doesn't work, go back to stock then reflash.

Thanks Lethe, but I tried flashing CM10.1 but it failed due to unable to mount /data and also internal storage.
So I tried to flash stock firmware, but it failed also. Now I do not have TWRP/any recovery nor can I boot into CM10.1
I supposed the only way is through ADB.
But i'm not too sure how to go about doing it.
ok managed to get this working.
thankfully i still managed to boot into TWRP, and flash stock ICS firmware.
It didn't really went well because of unable to mount /data and internal storage.
But somewhere the flash in TWRP managed to take place and the tablet went to do some sorting out by itself and viola! it managed to boot into stock ICS.
run PERI and got everything up and running again. at the expense of losing all data but at least i dont have to get a new tablet
p/s: i look through the forums and it appears that the TF101 have a thing of building itself back up after a soft-brick

Hi all
just need a bit of help/advice.
I have twrp recovey installed and wanted to try cm 11. Tried to flash it (thought I had nandroid backup but looks like I havent). The flash didnt work and now when the tablet boots up it goes into recovery.
I have the cm flash files on sd card. I tried getting into fsstboot but it doesnt give me usb option and doesnt seem to connect.
what I thought of doing is taking out microsd csrd putting cromi on it as I was using it before and flashing it with twrp.
Any help much appreciated.

What TWRP version do you have?
And what bootloader?
Which CROMI-X version did you come from?
You can still boot and use TWRP?
If yes, format data and reflash CROMI-X.
You probably flashed CM11 with the wrong recovery and/or the wrong bootloader....

thanks for your reply mate. I am on the latest twrp which is the 2.6 one and the bootloader is 10.6.1.14.4. I think it was twrp that was causing the problem. I could still boot into twrp recovery so I took out the microsd card and put the latest CROMI on and have flashed it, Its up and running now but I would like to try CM.
I tried booting into fastboot with the power + volume down combo but I don't get a usb to boot into, I get RCK the android icon and a wipe data option. Is there something Im doing wrong here?
Once again thanks for your reply
The USB icon vanished with JB 4.2. If you read the tiny script in the BL menu, you'll see that you are in fastboot mode already. Find a magnifying glass
If you want CM 11 you'll have to upgrade to the 10.6.1.14.10 bootloader and flash CWM 3.0.4.6 or higher.

I already enabled USB debugging and everything else in tablet settings but I am unable to mount anything or format anything from TWRP or CWM.

If your fastboot still works, please try Kang TWRP 2.8.7.2 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/development/recovery-twrp-t3046479.
if the other recovery does not work, you would probably need to reflash stock rom from the asus website, this is due to recovery not being able to identify the partitions without a full boot, if you wiped it from bootloader the whole partition table is messed up and you want to reflash that by using the stock rom. If you need any help on that just pm me.
I have the exact same problem. Not sure about fastboot as so far it has not installed anything. I have twrp 2.5.0.0 .... adb does function and have actually installed KK 6.0 and works fine, but on restart it is back to recovery and no OS.Any help appreciated.
using fastboot all I get is waiting on device and a blinkng cursor.
How can I get Kang twrp on the tf300 with adb commands?
Sorry to sort of hi-jack the OP thread, but my problem is very similar. Here is where I am now tablet sitting at Starting fastboot usb download protocol ... 3 icons with RCK blinking. I ran the following From my sdk platform tools folder.
adb reboot bootloader
it was followed by;
" daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037"
"daemon started successfully"
I then ran the following:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp_tf300t_kang_2.8.7.2.img
it was followed by:
sending 'recovery' (7126 kb)...
followed by a white blinking cursor and it just sits there,
Same results if I run it all the same except substituting the blob file instead of the img file.any ideas?
Many Thanks
Many Thanks, go out to gs-crash-24-7 as well to the forums here at XDA, I now have my tf 300 back up and running on the stock JB 4.2.1 rom. Still isn't recognizing my Micro SD card, but that is a problem I think should be easier to solve.
Again, many thanks all.
Took forever to get it to be recognized as a fastboot device with windows 10, but once that happened ( I won't lie, I erased everything many times) well that and me switching to a little 3 ft cord (after so many attemps at adb>fastboot flash staging blob) it is going for now.
Good advice below if your TF300T seems bricked.
