[Q] No longer able to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery after latest ROM flash.

After flashing the latest ROM I was messing around with (WajkIUI 2.1.6) the phone would crash and reboot within 30 seconds of booting up. The previous ROM that was running was FAUXMIUI_RG2xV2.0.0 (01/08/2011 [v2.0.0]OVERCLOCK) that was stable except for when I’d turn wi-fi on after being off for 8 hours or so phone would reboot.
I figured I would boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and restore one of the nandroid backups, I tried booting into recovery I found out that I could not. When I hold the volume down and press the power button I see the screen that says software update (like when flashing with OneClickRecoveryFlasher).
Whenever I flash a new ROM I will Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and then wipe dalvik before installing zip. I’ve always run cyanogenmod nighties; FAUXMIUI_RG2xV2.0.0 was the first MIUI ROM I’ve used.
When I run OneClickRecoveryFlasher, I do not see any errors on the command prompt so I am assuming it was successful, or at least thinks it was.
I tried to Restore LG G2x Stock Recovery using OneClickRecoveryFlasher and then flashing v5.0.2.0 and still no ClockworkMod Recovery, also tried v4.0.1.5 and still no ClockworkMod Recover.
I then tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644 and with that I was able to get back to stock 2.3.3, tried to use OneClickRecoveryFlasher to flash ClockworkMod, still no go.
I tried LG Mobile Update and that proceeded to install something, not really sure what the update was, after the update finished, phone rebooted into stock 2.3.3. Shut the phone down and tried to flash ClockworkMod and still nothing.
I did a hard reset following http://mobilephonerepairguides.blogspot.com/2011/04/lg-g2x-hard-reset.html
I also tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183168, that got me to stock 2.3.3 but I still could not boot in to ClockwordMod Recovery.
I’m having a hell of a time wrapping my head around what I screwed up. Did I somehow destroy the recovery partition, is that possible? Any ideas what I broke and how to fix it? Can I used adb to view the partition table, would that tell me if something was corrupt?
Any help and ideas would be appreciated, I have tried doing my due diligence and I apologize if I missed something obvious.
Thanks,
-Matt

Did you nvflashed recovery? If no then do that first.
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!

If you did the LG Updater it returned your phone to stock everything, including recovery. You need to use NVFlash (One Click method okay) to reflash CWM and then you should be good to go.

When the phone is completely off, hold volume down, then hold the power button and don't let go of both until the second lg logo.
If you hold volume down too early it'll give you the software update screen.

Well that's embarrassing, thanks buru898 that did the trick and got me into CWM Recovery. I never remember holding the power button for that long but it worked and I'll remember that for next time.
Thanks

[Q] tf101 problems

I have a B50 tf101 running raymans cm10 v6. Everything was going fine until i went to use it today. It started out saying I was running out of memory space, so i did a factory reset. After doing that, everytime i try to reboot, it goes straight to cwm recovery. I tried reflashing the rom, but now in cwm it only reads my internal sd card in which everything is still there, but now it wont read my ext-sdcard where i have my backups and roms. i tried using one of the restore tools, easyflasher and brk_rootkit, but everytime i go to restore and it tells me to go into APX mode which i do, it says it cant load the bootloader. I can get the rom to boot if i hard restart the tablet and let linux cold boot itself, but if i go to restart it, it goes straight back to cwm every time. i tried loading twrp on it from goo manager but that didnt work. i'm stuck now with a half working tablet that i cant get back to factory form. someone please help!

I've already tried that, it doesn't work. It says it does, but everytime I go to recovery, it boots into CWM.

I've been so frustrated with this tablet lately i'm ready to get the Nexus 7 so i don't have these stupid issues, be as easy as modding my Galaxy Nexus.

[Q] Recovery problems.

I've been running the Revolver ROM on my TF101 for quite a while now, and although I've been happy enough with it, I wanted to try out some others, but I have run into several problems.
1. I currently have ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4 installed. Whenever I reboot, it goes into CWM Recovery. To boot properly I need to hold the down-volume rocker when I power on, then select the cold boot option. How do I fix this?
2. ROM Manager told me I could upgrade the recovery image to 6.0.1.3, so I did, hoping it would fix the above problem. Now ROM Manager tells me I have 6.0.1.3, but when I boot into recovery, it greets me with a "5.5.0.4" banner - it doesn't seem to have changed, and I still can't boot properly without cold-booting. Why does ROM Manager think I've a newer version of Recovery than I appear to have? How do I update it? I tried installing GooManager, and it installed some OpenRecovery image, but I still get CWM 5.5.0.4 when I boot.
3. I tried installing (via ROM Manager) CyanogendMod 9, but when first booting it displays an animated logo, and gets stuck there (and by stuck, I mean I left it a good 10hrs overnight). I had to restore the backup of the old Revolver ROM to be able to boot again. Same thing happened when I tried the CyanogenMod 10 nightly. What do I need to do to get CyanogenMod installed?

First, there is this: [NOTICE] Don't use ROM Manager! **New to the Transformer? READ**
Honestly, just install GooManager. One installed, open, grant root, then tap the menu button in the top right corner. Install OpenRecovery Script. This will install Team Win Recovery Project.
It is far superior to CWM IMO. Then all your issues will go away.

I appreciate the input, but:
1. As I mentioned in the OP, I have already tried GooManager - it claims to install OpenRecovery, but it has no effect when I restart - I still get dumped into CWM recovery.
2. If I follow the link about "Don't use ROM Manager", it mentions RecoveryInstaller, but the link to that utility is broken, and I've been unable to locate a credible copy of it elsewhere.
UPDATE: I found a working link for RecoveryInstaller, installed and ran that, clicked the button to install recovery, then my tablet rebooted, straight into CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4 again.
No matter what I do I can't seem to get rid of CWMR5.5.0.4 ...

Oops, i missed the GooManager part. my bad.
Try EasyFlasher. Boot to APX mode and install Rogue Recovery (CWM based) or TWRP.

Thanks - that looks promising. It doesn't help that it's been 18 months since I last played around with flashing ROMs etc, so I've forgotten half the stuff I need to know!
Your EasyFlasher link says "Requrements: APX drivers" with a link to some recommended drivers, and I've installed those OK (eventually! - took me a while to figure out how, because I couldn't find sensible instructions, but I worked it out in the end).
So now I've managed to boot into TWRP (yay!) and have made a backup of everything.
And now it seems to boot normally. Fantastic! Now to see if I can install some other ROMS.
Thanks for the help!

Cool, glad it's working.
I am loving the TeamEOS4 4.2.1 ROM.
The ParanoidAndroid/CM10 hybrid by Mattmanwrx is my favorite 4.1 ROM. Many also like the LiquidSmooth 4.1 but I never tried that one.

Stuck in startup animation loop

I unlocked and rooted my tablet yesterday and everything appeared to be working fine. After using it for a couple hours and restarting it a few times it stopped working and is now locked in a boot loop. When I try boot the tablet it comes on and gets to the animation where the glint of light goes across the Asus logo but it does not finish and instead it stops there and I get the moving circles at the bottom. I've left it running there for several hours and it just hangs.
I've tried erasing the data and booting to linux but the same thing happens when I try either of those.
I've also tried flashing a number of different ROMs, but all that happens is it starts installing and then I get the Android guy on his side error screen.
I hadn't done anything to the ROM and was still running 10.6.1.14.4. I even downloaded that same ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266519 but I get the same error message when I try flash that ROM.
I would really, REALLY appreciate any ideas at all - and thanks in advance for any suggestions.

this gonna sound odd but i had exact same prob when i rooted and flashed chromix rom. it went. what i did was flash it once with the rom with secure wipe, then i flashed again. and it got stuck at optimizing apps,then i tried reflashing couldnt get it to boot, what i ended up doing was using clockwork mod to factory reset my tablet, then had to restart, and reflash, this time it actually got to main screen. dont let it discharge/reboot for awhile as im bout to post a issue im having with it. but thats what i did to make it work for me.

the thing i found showed me to installed the clockwork mod first before i did any flashing, i rooted device then i flashed once clockwork mod was installed, i had to root, then install rom manager and goo manager, from within there i installed the clockwork recovery script/mod then i proceeded to flash chromi-X DEODEX.

Did you flash the correct bootloader? I had the same problem, look for my posts in the last few pages of ChromiX.

Seems to me you installed Asus factory stock rom JB 4.2.1 (10.6.1.14.4), which means you have the latest bootloader, then you unlocked and rooted your device, however, you never installed any custom recovery like TWRP or CWM (clockmod). Now your device is boot looping. You need to boot into stock recovery by turn off your device, hold volume down and power button until you see white text on the screen, now release both buttons, you should see 3 icons (RCK, Android and wipe data). NOW you are in fastboot mode. Let me know at least you can get that far, before we continue....

buhohitr -- You're exactly right. I can boot into stock recovery. When I select Android or wipe data it goes back to the animation screen and hangs up. When I select RCK it goes to the Android guy and says installing update but then it show him fallen over and the word Error. I've tried RCK with a memory card that has a number of different ROMs on it but the same thing keeps happening.

Give this a try, the factory Asus firmware zip file that you downloaded, unzip the file, you should see another zip file, rename this new zip file to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip" (without quotation), then copy it to the root of your sdcard then boot into stock recovery and execute the RCK again. Make sure you don't have any other zips laying around in the root of your sdcard.

Somehow the stock recovery was reinstalled on your tablet, thus letting this method work. It however does not on CWM or TWRP. All you did was manually reinstall a stock rom back onto your tablet. How it got the stock recovery is beyond me unless you flashed a stock ROM from CWM and didnt realize what you were installing.

Since the JB 4.2.1 upgrade, this is the most reliable method to install Asus full stock firmware. Also, since you're unlocked, let root the device by go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230763 download the tool and root it. Once rooted, I suggest that you should install TWRP custom recovery, by download Goomanager from the market, open the app and tab on the 3 little boxes on the top right hand corner, select "install recovery scripts" , this will shutdown your device and install custom TWRP recovery script, once this installed, you can download "rebooter" from the market and this app has many options, one of them is allowed you easily boot into custom recovery.

[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

I also tried to install CM recovery, using the 3rd option of 1-Click Transformer Root. Again, I don't see anything to get installed (a blue bar is not showing) and it just reboots to Android.
Lately, I have a problem.
I get a "DMClient has stopped" error twice each time I turn the TF101 on. I think this is the ASUS update process. Can this be relevant?

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

I have also tried different version of twrp, latest easyflasher, different USB ports, with USB debugging on the device, still same problem, only choice is android and wipe data.
I have also tried with CWM but I had the error can't mount SD card. Rooted with 1-click transformer root. I begin to believe I will not be able to change the ROM. Any idea?
Thanks,
EDIT: Problem solved, managed to flash Roach CWM 5.5.0.4 from EasyFlasher and flash TWRP 2.8.1.1 from zip inside Roach CWM 5.5.0.4 recovery. Then followed the procedure in https://forum.xda-developers.com/eee-pad-transformer/development/rom-t3318496. Katkiss is running on my tf101.

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
