ok so ive had my tf101 rooted since i got the thing over a year and a half ago, i was running the megatron rom which was cm9 based and everything was good. today i tried to flash Eos4 and i got F%$ked out the a$$. so i did my standard procedure which was put the rom and gapps package on my device and then i wiped everything (after making a nandroid) and flash the rom along with its gapps. then i went to reboot it then i got shot back into recovery...so i was like wtf. i then found a way where if i hold the power and volume down for about 10 seconds i could cold boot android and once booted fix this problem with my recovery. unfortunately when i go to boot into android my device just bootloops on the boot animation ( ive left for about ten mins just to make sure) then i was like oh well ill just restore my nandroid, but for some reason clockwork mod touch wont let me use my microsd card, and its also not letting me restore from the backup i made earlier, it says files not found. i tried to connect it to my pc so i could just factory reflash it but unfortunately it will not be picked up by my pc through adb or apx.
so here is my main issue,
i just need to boot into android one time successfully so i can change the location of some ROM files and fix this stupid recovery bull****.
or if i could some how factory reset the tablet completely then that would be fine too
or or i could flash a different recovery that actually worked (currently on CWM 5.8.3.4 installed from rom manager which i realize now to be a huge mistake)
and i've tried ever tool on this forum as well and nothing works because it cannot pick up my device.
*** one other side note i am running windows 8 pro 32bit through Vmware (if this can be problematic)
thanks for any help in advance
To fix this, you will need to get your tablet recognized by your computer via ADB (in recovery) or APX mode.
You could have a bad cable, or it could be the VM causing the detection issues.
Is there a way you can connect it to a computer running Windows natively?
Does your computer make the new hardware sound when connecting?
Once you get it detected via one method or the other, here are my suggestions:
APX - Use the Naked Driver 0.72 and replace whatever driver is being used. Then use EasyFlasher to install TWRP 2.2.1.4 (it blows CWM away, and can read internal AND external memory)
ADB - use the Naked Driver 0.72 and replace whatever driver is being used. Then download the TWRP 2.3.2.3 blob from the TWRP project: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/tf101
Call the downloaded file TWRP.blob.
Then run the following from your computer via ADB:
Code:
adb push TWRP.blob /sdcard/
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/TWRP.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
reboot
Make sure it is a normal reboot to complete the recovery. Then reboot to recovery and you should be able to see the external card (so long as it is formatted for FAT32).
Thanks for the quick response and it probably is because I am using vmware... Unfortunately I don't have access to a windows machine right now. But I will definitely try to find one

** edit I'm assuming it got stuck boot the apps because now a my directories seem F&#cked up too... It now goes sdcard/0/0/0/(everthing else)
That's because your recovery is not compatible with 4.2.1. TWRP recovery 2.3.2.3 or 2.3.3.x should be fine as federuco said, to fix the sdcard/0/0/... issue.
For the stuck at apps thing, usually it's because you didn't wipe everything when changing rom. Make sure to do a full reset, wipe cache dalvik and system.

What happens if you reboot it after it is at the starting apps screen?
If you can get into the OS, install GooManager and install TWRP.

Use the Naked Drivers.
Let me find the link to the thread....
Here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942
Grab the driver pack in the first thread, update the device using the APX driver when in APX mode.
Then you should be good to go. I have used EasyFlasher via APX with great success.

Put your device in APX mode. To do so, make sure it's completely powered off (hold the power button 10 seconds), then hold down volume up + power for about 5 seconds. Do that while it's connected through USB. The screen will remain black so you won't see anything on the device, but you will hear a new device found in windows. Go in your device manager and look for either "unkown device" or "NVIDIA boot-recovery driver for mobile devices". If you see the nvidia one, right click and delete it; it should be come unknown. Right click the unknown device, install driver... navigate to where you extracted the naked drivers, and install.
Then use easyflasher.

Apparently my problem with CWM v5 is a known issue and there is a fix for it, but I can't access ADB while in CWM because Windows can't find the drivers for it even though I have the sync drivers and the windows driver package from the "how to setup adb" thread. ADB works fine when my TF is booted into Android.
brando56894 said:
I can't seem to figure out what it actually causing this since I had changed a few things when I noticed it. Whenever I boot up my TF it will boot to CWM and it doesn't matter if it's a cold boot or a reboot. I first thought it was due to AOKP since one of the things listed in the changelog of v1.4 was a fix for booting to recovery, right before this I had CM9 installed and went into rom manager and flashed the newest CWM build. The first reboot was fine and the same went for the first flash of AOKP. I forgot to flash GAPPS so I rebooted and it immediately went to recovery. I went back to my CM9 backup and it was still doing this. I flashed roach's build of CWM5 and it didn't fix anything (actually it didn't seem to stick), I flashed CWM3 to test this out and sure enough on reboot CWM5 was still there, I even tried to flash CWM3 via rom manager and it didn't do anything.

No problem. I really didn't mean to be so harsh. Just kind of came out that way.
I understand I do it too One odd problem that I'm having is that Windows detects my TF when it's in Android and the drivers install successfully, yet when I reboot into CWM it tries to install the drivers but says that it can't find the necessary drivers. I have both Asus Sync and the ASUS Windows USB Drivers from here installed, do I need a third set to use it in the recovery?

If you're able to boot into Android, move the necessary file you need to internal before booting into cwm recovery.
ADB in recovery are for those stuck in cwm recovery and can't boot into Android at all.
What operating system do you have? Win 7 64bit? I had a same problem.
I used this tutorial:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/enable-adb-usb-drivers-for-nvidia-tegra-based-android-tablets/
You must change VID and PID, those you find in Computer > Properties > Device manager and select Android ADB (some device with ADB, I don't know exactly) > Properties > bookmark Details > select ID hardware and there it is.
Yea it was W7 64 I just ended up doing it in Linux because I didn't need any drivers. I dislike Windows anyway.

My tf101 was a bit hangy (force close messages) with the app Mobilevoip. So I thought let's reboot it. Now it's hanging on the Asus logo with the rotating thing at the bottom. I tried to keep the power button for 10 seconds no result(rebooting but still hanging). Volume down and cold booting still no result. Now I'm waiting until the battery runs out off power. The last things I did on my tf101 was installing tweetcaster. I'm running stock ICS with the latest updates but I'm rooted.
You have soft bricked your tablet. My advice is take your memory card wipe it clean and format it. Now add required ROM onto the MMC and reboot your tablet and flash the required ROM after wiping your system through CWM

Tried that but when I flash the rom I get status 7. And when I wipe everything it says it has wiped everything bit when I want to check if everything is wiped(by choosing a .zip from my internal storage) I still see all the folders. Please help....
Follow these steps and let me know...
1) download TWRP recovery from android development forum under Asus
2) take out your MMC and format it using your laptop.
3) copy the twrp.zip and the required ROM back into MMC, now plce the SD card back
4) get into recovery and flash TWRP.ZIP and restart
5) you will get new type of recovery and using it wipe your internal memory as well as factory wipe, dalvik wipe and cache wipe
6) install the required ROM
This might work, let me know and thank me if it works

This tutorial sounds good, but I have a similar problem. I can't get past the boot logo, both by normal boot and by going into recovery. The only thing I can really do is cold boot it. I tried easy flasher, but windows says that the device has malfunctioned, and it can't be detected. Is there a way to get past this? (I tried flashing a font with rom manager, but it never flashed, then got to how it currently is.)
Hey creed 10,
A device is hangs in boot logo (i'm presuming its hanging with Asus logo) as a result of bad flash which results in soft bricking of the device... I have few questions for you,
1) Did you wipe everything before you flashed the ROM ?
2) What recovery are you using ?
Since you can access recovery, do a full wipe (factory reset, cache wipe and dalvik wipe) then restart your tablet... this might fix the problem as OS will build all the data from scratch.
If above steps doesn't work then you have to do a fresh ROM install with a complete clean wipe and MMC format (I personally prefer this as it cleans my memory card)
PS: let m know how it goes thank me if all works out

I don't think I've installed naked drivers. And also, I can't access recovery at all. It hangs at boot logo even there. I didn't wipe anything because I tried to install a font with ROM manager. I'll try the naked drivers for easy flasher, but I won't be able to access recovery. (Touch screen clockworkmod)
Edit: Yes I have installed the naked drivers.
To get into recovery press volume down and power buttons together and as soon as you see something on the screen press volume up button.. this doesn't work you can always get into APX mode by pressing volume up and power buttons together... if your laptop doesn't install/recognize the tablet then remove NAD install the required drivers again....

You remove all existing drivers from your comp, clean your registry of any Asus leftover things ( type regedit in run command and search fr Asus and delete them) restart you laptop and reinstall universal naked drivers, I have used universal naked drivers many times without any issues..
Follow the same steps, plug your laptop to tablet let laptop recognise and install Asus drivers, then go to system tools and uninstall existing drivers, now update drivers manually by selecting the naked drivers..

Just picked up a TF101 and it had the Cryo (whatever it is called) OS with ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.3.4. The OS didn't pick up wifi on the apps but it is on and logged into the router so I did a reset. Once I reset the TF101, i am stuck at CWM. It won't boot into any OS or anything else. I tried almost everything I found googling (this site and others) but nothing works. I did, however, got the TF drivers for my laptop so I can connect to it but I can't get the USB debug option on (of course).
So what are my options? how do I "unbrick" this thing? is this what some people call it soft-brick as it does boot but there just isn't any OS in there? I tried to put the OS zip file from Asus on a MicroSD but when I went to install zip from sdcard, it i can't get to the microSD to install it. it doesn't find it at all.
what can I do? what are the steps in unbricking this thing? I got this for my dad for father's day (chinese father's day which is TODAY...) and would like to get it to him.
Thanks in advance!
Is it in a CWM boot loop? Meaning when you reboot the tablet it keep going back to CWM?
Try this to see if you can boot OS.
Turn off tablet
Push and hold Vol down plus Power button
Wait till you see a screen that give you two options
Wipe data or Cold boot Linux
Choose Cold boot to boot into OS.

If you have ADB working, you can push a ROM file to internal memory and flash it.
Alternatively you can NVFlash a compatible ROM.

I'd try to flash a ROM via NVFLASH.
You may download it from here, but you must know if your TF101 is WW version, US version or any other. You must also know if your device is SBK1 or SBK2. That depends on the serial number. For example, mine starts by B50 and it's SBK1. If yours is SBK2 then you'll have to take a look at wheelie. If not, take a look here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620758
However, I'm not responsible for any damage your device might suffer.
Take a look at that and tell me
here's the endall- easyflash version 0.8.3b whitekidneys just updated it and saved my brick. it'll save yours too. just install it on your computer, along with naked drivers 0.7, put the tf in apx, and flash. literally that easy.

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 ?

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

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?

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 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?

this has a beta twrp zip that is flashable, maybe help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2308565
Hello,
I'm trying to install the MarshMallow 6.0.1 Release on my TF101 (SBK2 -BBxxxxx) with stock rom IMLK74K.WW_epad-9.2.1.27-20120615 and easyflasher (universal naked drivers installed correctly on windows 10). I can flash it correctly but I have the same problem as lefterhs.
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.

Hi,
I've tried installing the TWRP throught Goo Manager, tried disabling DMClient and cleaning the application cache through android's application manager, but when I power down then, press VOL-DOWN + POWER I find myself only 2 opstion, system wipe and android linux cold boot. It's like if I'm in the official Asus TF101 Recovery mode.
I've tried EasyFlasher way, but I don't know how to install the universal naked drivers.. So I tried entering APX mode with the normal windows driver and hitting the flash button on the EasyFlasher for TWRP. But still it won't boot to recover, just the old 2 options screen.
I've tried also the console way, (dd=if whatever...) and when I reboot the tablet it shows a blue loading bar under the EePad logo. But still no recovery at VOL+DOWN + POWER, just the freaking wipe data or cold boot scrren.
I've tried ROM Manager from google play and it says that I have both ClockworkMode and TWRP already installed on the tablet..
What can I do to install a recovery so I can change the ROM installed? The device is already rooted.
Do you have a CWM bootloop where it always boots to CWM recovery?

No Sir. I can't boot into recovery.
Ok, Did GooManager ask for root permissions when trying to install the OpenRecovery script?
Also, here is an EasyFlasher tutorial, including how to update the naked drivers: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...t/31927-frederuco-s-guide-root-rom-tf101.html

Yes it asked for root permission when I clicked to install OpenRecovery Script. I just saw your post in another forum right before you post your reply and realized that my ATX driver appears with an exclamation on the device manager, this must be why the EasyFlasher is not working... I must install the naked drivers
If you cannot get the naked drivers to install, it could be an issue with your USB cable. I had my USB cable stop working for data (MTP/PTP/APX/ADB) however it still works to charge using the Asus wall wart. New cable fixed it up straight away.

Hey man, do you know how can I discover the SBK from my TF101? My serial number is just... numbers.. no B70... no letters...
Am I looking it in the right place? (Android general configs -> about -> status -> serial number )
It is the sticker by the charging port if you didnt remove it or let it fall off. It is also on the original box if you have that.
I followed the procedure you described in your Guide, turns out my TF101 was SBK2.... It successfully flashed the TWRP and displayed that command prompt message. The naked driver was the key to it. Thank you awesome friend! :laugh::laugh:
