Tried to flash CWM recovery, but can't boot to it. I get the dead android with !.
Fastboot claims it's writing recovery fine, but apparently it's not. There are no instructions anywhere.

This is a 600.
Well I am at a loss. The download to root the phone is missing from here, so that eliminates my last option.
No wonder hardly anyone's succeeded in getting a ROM onto these.
As I remember you said on another post that you're on Linux... So try using ARP (link on 7Heavens Projekt on my signature) it roots the Xoom, I remember when I turned to Stock my Xoom and tried that, worked fine.

3. Loaded latest official custom recovery

Now when trying to get into recovery the HTC flash sceen with some blablabla text comes up for about 8 seconds and after that phone reboots by itself into the regular boot.
No custom ROMs at this point, just 3 steps I described above.
Any ideas?
Thanks
You shouldn't use CWM Touch on this phone, for one thing. Its not meant for our phone (codename Evita). The codename in the file you are using is for the international (Tegra 3) version of the phone (codename endeavouru). So I think that may be your problem.
Either install the non-touch CWM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671873
Or better yet TWRP. Its proving to be much more stable then CWM, and officially supports our phone (CWM does not):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677447
Why are there so many people the last few days flashing stuff for the international version? Great way to brick your phone. Stick to the AT&T specific Development forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1541
And there is a good reason I made this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Anything with Endeavor in the title isn't meant for our phone. PERIOD.
Thanks a lot for the help.

Your welcome.

i rooted my tf300 when on stock ics. i used the method that doesnt require bootloader unlocking.
couple of days later the jb ota came along, so installed that, and restored root with voodoo
i want to install a custom rom, but i can't get the recovery working. the tablet boots fine, and the behaviour is the same now im on jb, as it was when on ics
basically, i power on + vol down, then select the rck icon, and it loads to an android with a blue loading animation, then changes to a 'dead' android with a red exclamation just above.
the tablet still boots fine otherwise.
question is, do i have to unlock the bootloader before i can install/run the recovery, or is there a way i can do it without unlocking?
edit: i tried also flashing via fastboot (tried first with terminal, when trying twrp for ics) and this is what it comes back with, same thing for cwm and twrp:

You have to unlock to install a custom rom. Think it over and do some more reading. You could build a house since there is no shortage of bricks. :banghead:

do you think there's any chance of being able to do this without unlocking in the future?

Nope. One requires the other. Simply put - ASUS does not want to deal with true user-created bricks. That's why they make it optional.

Now, this guide only works or was only tested on ICS. I do not know if it works on JB, i'm not gonnna risk it. Here we go:
What you need
To do this, you must extract logo_signed.bin from your firmware. If it doesn't have it, i'll leave a DL link which was tested on british ICS... Don't know if it'll work on others
logo_signed (thanks pablopool)
Now, put the phone into fastboot mode and connect it via USB cable.
Open a cmd in the place where you saved logo_signed.bin
Type:
fastboot flash logo logo_signed.bin
It should give something like this:
Code:
sending 'logo' (854 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.470s]
writing 'logo'...
OKAY [ 0.840s]
finished. total time: 1.310s
Now, type:
fastboot flash ulogo logo_signed.bin
Now you should see this:
Code:
sending 'ulogo' (854 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.480s]
writing 'ulogo'...
OKAY [ 0.560s]
finished. total time: 1.050s
Finally, type:
fastboot reboot
And done! In case the first command did not work for you, you can try this method:
Download the logo i provided earlier plus this file, and store both in a folder you'd like. You can use C:/fastboot.
Now, go to that folder, open cmd and type:
fastboot flash logo stocklogo.img
It should give you:
Code:
sending 'logo' (854 KB)... OKAY [ 0.453s]
writing 'logo'... Not allow to
flash none signed image FAILED (remote failure) finished. total time:
0.719s
Don't worry. Now type in:
fastboot flash logo logo_signed
Should give:
Code:
sending 'logo' (854 KB)... OKAY [ 0.469s]
writing 'logo'... OKAY [ 0.875s]
finished. total time: 1.344s
Then type:
fastboot flash ulogo logo_signed
Should give:
Code:
sending 'ulogo' (854 KB)... OKAY [ 0.469s]
writing 'ulogo'... OKAY [ 0.797s]
finished. total time: 1.266s
Finally:
fastboot reboot
Ok, one of these 2 methods should do it. In case of bricks, you can always flash the stock logos that came with your firm (logo and ulogo, don't use one for both commands like we just did). I did not make this guide, all credits go to pablopool, max_choco and Cacho66 from other forums. Enjoy and tell me if it worked! Sorry this is not JB, if anyone would like to, just try. I'm not responsible for anything!
Great
What about, downgrading to ICS (i can downgrade without bricks cause i never do an OTA update and i have backup of ICS and JB)
Remove the logo
Then install a jb rom or a backup of jb
Maybe works?

You can't install a jb rom on ics, you'd have to go to jb base. You could flash via fastboot all jb files BUT the logo and ulogo... might work, but i'm not gonna risk to a brick now, i'm about to go sleep xd

Nice, didn't know that was possible
Is it possible to remove unlocked_bootloader_warning on official KitKat ROM?
Hi,
I am using the unofficial cm11 by @Hazou and I have looked every where to get rid of that logo and I think i have found it. Will this work when i'm using cm11? Thanks

No. It works only on ICS.
Hey guys,
my bootloader is unlocked - so far, so good. however though, when I want to flash cwm, I'm getting this result:
C:\xyz>fastboot flash recovery cwmrecovery.img
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
target reported max download size of 31457280 bytes
sending 'recovery' (6632 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.558s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.838s]

so it looks successful. But I still have the stock recovery. When I'm trying the rom manager from the playstore alternatively, I'm getting an error right aways after the cwm download (looks as if nothing happened in between). Error message is simply "An error occurred while flashing your recovery"
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
After you fastboot flash recovery, IMMEDIATELY reboot to recovery. Do not reboot to Android.
Take a backup. Then boot to Android... should stick.

Weird! I had the similar issue as described above. I'm able to successfully flash the CWM flash to the SPH-710 for me. However, can't boot INITIALLY to the CWM boot; It's able to successfully go into normal boot; But Volume-UP, Center button Power button, just blinks the custom boot screen once then the screen becomes blank for some time.
Can't get out of the Stock ROM boot up to CWM;
So I wanted to root my One S and install CWM.
What I did was use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604677 this tool, everything went fine. I used the TWRP recovery, it booted fine.
Tried to install CWM, found out my Hboot was too low (think it was 1.14.0.02).
Extracted the hboot.img from the CWM zip, installed it:
C:\Users\aSCO\Desktop\blabla\fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (5688 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.890s]
writing 'boot'...
OKAY [ 1.390s]
finished. total time: 2.280s
then fastboot reboot.
Now the ühone won't turn one, LED doesn't shine when connected to charger. From time to time it turns on, show the HTC screen (with text 'this is a developer version etc'), then turns back off.
Any hope there for me? What did I do wrong?
EDIT: I managed to get into fastboot, what's the best way to go on from here? The Hboot version number is still the same, is there another recommended boot.img that I could flash?
EDIT2: Managed to fix this, cannot find an option to delete the thread ...
