Hi! I had Android 3.1 on my TF101 and it was already rooted, I updated CWM to 6.0 and in recovery I can't mount storage, and I can't do anything...when trying to reboot it stucks at the boot logo (I think i formatted, wiped system but not sure). And when I trying to do a Factory reset, it freezes at: Formatting /data... So? Can somebody help me please? Oh, and when I trying to reboot with power, and volume down, it says something like this: Press Vol Up to enter recovery in 5 secs. If I dont press it, it brings me to a menu, like this: Press vol up to execute, ot vol down to skip wipe. I've tried both options but I think it freezes...or I didn't wait as much as it needs (10 mins about)??

Hiya have you tried this yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
this should get you back to a fresh start but whay where you trying to do?
I'm guessing you used ROM Manager to install CWM.
Use EasyFlasher as noted by all43 to install a working recovery - I highly recommend TWRP. Then put your ROM on a microSD formatted for FAT32z
Boot to recovery (VOL DOWN and POWER for 12-15 sec, then tap VOL UP to enter RCK)
Then wipe cache, Davlik, format system and factory reset.
Install ROM and if applicable GAPPS and Kernel.
Reboot
Profit
Thanks, Easy Flasher solved my problem

Hello guys.
I was following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074609
but forgot to wipe system data and tried to reboot before it.
Now I'm in a boot loop and don't know how to get to clockwork recovery to do the system wipe I should've done before.
Help, please!

Try holding up volume and power to restart, then on restart about 5 seconds after you see the "M" logo try hitting the up volume button and see if it drops you into recovery.

It says Starting Fastboot Protocol Support and stops there.
Problem solved...
If I let it boot normally (not fastboot), it will eventually accept "adb remount" and "adb reboot recovery", allowing me to do the last step I needed (wipe data/factory reset).
Thank you anyway.
hi all
i am trying to do a factory reset to my nexus S but i faced some problems, the phone cant be reset to factory settings. my phone is on 2.3.4 and is rooted
i had tried the following steps
1) going to Settings>Privacy>Reset phone
after i confirm to wipe everything, the phone rebooted and it will stuck at the "Google" logo (in words) with the fastboot unlock logo at the bottom. i took off the battery to shutdown the phone (anything i press at this moment does not get any response from the phone) and start it up again. once it is started (it get pass the google word logo if i do it this way) all my application and even my themes are still there
2) shutting down the phone. press volume up + power button. choose recovery
same thing happen as above. it cant get pass the google word logo and once i restart the phone by plugging out the batt, it went back to previous state without wiping anything
i search online guide and also youtube video and all of them shows that the recovery will bring you to a android with a exclamation mark (in the triangle) but i cant get to the screen. i had left my phone there for 30 minutes but it is still stuck at the google logo.
Please help

thanks for the feedback. now i am trying to flash it but i faced "adb device not found" error
ok done
managed to flash it back to an older version and everything works now
thanks a lot for your help! cheers
Make sure to update it eventually because you could run into issues when flashing stuff if your recovery isn't up to date.
No problem!

see if you have free space on your phone for the error , as for the booting in to recovery :
1.remove battery
2.reinsert baterry
3.hold volume up + power
4.chose recovery (vol up/down to scroll and pover button to select)
4.wait for phone to boot in to recovery
Fastboot boot recovery name of recovery.img
If you unlocked the right way and not some lame one click crap.

Tried, dint work. It rebooted and showed the lying droid robot with a red exclamation mark for a second and rebooted again in normal boot.
I tried rooting my brand new Mate 9. I unlocked the bootloader, but the wipe that followed failed for some reason. In the eRecovery there's no option to Wipe Data / Factory Reset and when I try to log in at the start screen, the keyboard is not showing up, so I can't even log in. Tried wiping through ADB, but it doesn't even see the device. Any other way to wipe it, so I can proceed with installing TWRP and rooting this sucker. Thanks in advance!
You can boot to fastboot and flash twrp.
While the usb plugged in,hold volume down and power, when the phone vibrate remove power button and keep pressing volume down.
For stock recovery, remove the usb,hold volume up and power and when you see the logo, remove power and keep pressing volume up.
You can copy a keyboard apk on ur sd card and install when you are in the system,just skip the log in screens.
Thanks! I managed to install TWRP and boot to it to do a factory reset, thinking that it will resolve my login issue. Now I'm stuck in bootloop.
And if I try to boot into TWRP again by pressing Volume Up + Volume Down + Power it boots me into eRecovery that wants to perform an update, which after 5% fails saying: The update package does not exist.
So I can't even get back to TWRP nor the system.
Any advice to resolve this?

well to boot into recovery just use vol up+power and release once u see the huawei logo.btw when your factory reset fail during unlocking BL you can manually boot into the system and reset thru settings again.
Never do factory reset via twrp. It does not support huawei's data partition.
To avoid bootloop, just flash stock recovery and do factory reset with it. You need flash additional stock zips to restore additional apps and themes.
I had exactly the same problem as you. After rooting and start wipe, the factory reset seems had not finished well and the phone booted to lock screen with password field, but without keyboard...
Only procure that worked for me was rebranding the phone and installing another full room using Funky Huawei. Yes I know it is a paid service but I believe you will be happy to know it can help you.
Good luck
