[Q][A700]How to undo CWM and restore factory recovery

Hi,
I'm in the situation of having a working tablet, but the dodgy version of CWM. The original thread has been deleted and I remember there was adb command at the end to stop the original update.zip from flashing the factory recovery, but not what it was so I can reverse it !
So if anyone can help me out, that would be great, so I can avoid a bricked device !

go finding a original recovery dump,and flashing it in fastbootmode.

Has anybody been able to find a stock recovery for the A700? JP, I also flashed this broken CWM, thankfully I haven't used it but I want to put the stock one back on to avoid any issues.

reflashing the official update.zip
but,delete the first and the third comands in the updating list,this could avoid wiping/formating action to avoid damage to the /data partition.

Thanks! However, the US Version doesn't have an update for it, at least not yet, and I haven't been able to find a stock US A700 ROM.

So we would need to rename the install-recovery.old back to install-recovery.sh in /system as this was disabled in CWM ??

So has anyone managed to successfully put on the stock recovery ?? !!

Take a little advice folks. If you don't know what you're doing, and your tab is running fine, don't be messing with anything. Just leave it alone til a better method comes.
My guess, if you rename your recovery.sh, is that when you boot, you will either get;
A. a "loading recovery kernel" message that just stays there
or
B. an "invalid recovery image", or something similar.

That's what I'm doing, I'm just leaving the CWM on there until somebody comes up with a fixed version.

I don't understand these instructions. What original file is being replaced? What update.zip are you referring to?
EDIT
Well, I tried to swap out the update script that came in the ROM: SDs_Acer_A700_AV043.RV00RC00_AV043.RV07RC04_EMEA_CUS1, with the one provided above and seemed to have made some progress...I put on an external SD card and renamed to update and then flashed it through the CWM recovery and it completed. A random offset was noted and then the SD update completed note. However, when I rebooted the device it stuck at the Acer logo and never went any further.
EDIT
So, it then occurred to me that the flash through CWM was probably only partially successful - maybe the replacement of the recovery worked. So, I took the same ROM I noted above, unmodified, placed on the external SD card, renamed, etc. and flashed it and it worked - I never saw any signs of CWM during this process. I hope this helps others too.
EDIT
Looks like I spoke too soon...the flash never got past a 1/4 of the progress bar. Looks like I still have a non-functioning device.

Hi, I'm a A510 user. I used the CWM to wipe data/factory reset, after that i cant flash any zip, and even cant enter the system. When i turn on the tab, it stuck on 'iconia tab' LOGO, I tried to hard reset, then i got a 'Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x19000008)'
I enter the fastboot and flash the stock recovery back. next i use the recovery to flash update.zip as usual, but every time the flash will stuck in 1/5 of the whole progress bar, I changed it with other rom zip, or even change the SD card, it didn't work anyway!
every time the flash stuck in the same place of the whole progress bar, i guess it is not an accident! After read your solution, I check the script in my zip, then i delete 2 lines about 'format' command. I think this time will be ok! but to my surprise the green turtle fell down when flashing.
I think the idea is great, but it maybe make the script incomplete, so it cant be flash in.:crying:

[Q] Can't upgrade to 10.6.1.14.10 in TWRP

Hi,
I'm no expert in flashing tablets but I have done a few phones in the past, but I'm stuck with a problem trying to get the firmware file (10.6.1.1.10) upgraded to my Jellybean 4.2.1 install, so that I can eventually get CROMI-X on my tablet. I had '10' on my TF700 via OTA and downgraded to '8' to get root (as per the CROMI-X instructions but I can't get '10' to load via TWRP, I just get "refresh failed. Please try again" I've tried shortening the filename-loading from SD card and Internal storage-redownloading the file but nothing changes. I did notice that when I boot into TWRP, it will say 'Updating partition tables' even before I attempt to flash the update and it will appear to be stuck at this point after checking the .md5 file.
Can anyone offer any suggestions or anything I can try without bricking the thing?

Any 10.6.1.14.x bootloader is compatible with CROMI-X 5.x, so you don't need to upgrade to .10.

So you think I can just go ahead and install CROMI-X now? For future reference, is the 'Updating partition details' in TWRP normal? I don't remember seeing this when I first installed.

To be 100% sure, check in the bootloader menu (before you select RCK) that your bootloader build version is 10.6.1.14.x, with x either 4, 8, or 10.

Did you browse to the right folder that has the cromi zip file? In TWRP, you can select the internal sd or external sd. Make sure that you have selected the right sd card...

Okay, I redownloaded the ROM file and copied it to the SD...plugged it back in the tablet and booted into TWRP, ....now I see both! oh well, I installed the ROM and now have CROMI-X running on this baby! Thanks for your help and advice guys.
One small thing that I noticed, again with TWRP is that when I invoke the power menu, I don't get any options to boot to recovery...or anything non-standard for that matter. I think my TWRP might be broken, is there a way to uninstall/reinstall?
Thanks again guys.

TWRP on tf700t, you have only two options on the boot menu. One is a reboot to your system. Second is power off your device.
About the uninstall/reinstall, all you need is to flash the TWRP blob on top of your existing one....
Edit: I think that your TWRP is working properly. If you don't have to flash your custom recovery again, you can minimize the risk of brick your device. Please don't mess with your bootloader and your recovery unless you must touch them for a good reason. Otherwise, just leave them alone. Just my two cents....

Great, thanks for clearing up that doubt...and also for the good advice! I'm already enjoying the CROMI-X experience!

I dun goofed. Is it a recoverable goof??

I rooted successfully via Towelroot but did not unlock the bootloader. I ran the 1.1 Update and lost root. I ran Towelroot again and rerooted but I had to redownload the binaries and got everything functioning properly. I decided I wanted a custom recovery for backups and such so I installed Flashify and downloaded the CWM recovery file.
Here's the problem. I apparently flashed the recovery as a boot image as I now boot into CWM every time. CWM seems to be functioning properly but the system just boots into CWM every time.
I have not done anything else to try and fix this as I'm feeling rather like, at this point, I'm more likely to break it further if I haven't already broken it beyond repair.
Is there a file I can flash through CWM to restore the correct boot image?
I've been rooting and ROM'ing since early 2010 on my OG Droid and this is the first device I've actually thought I might have flashed myself into a brick but it's also the first device I've tried anything on without an unlocked bootloader.
Any constructive advice will be most appreciated. Thanks.

You are not bricked. Get the recovery image from https://developer.nvidia.com/develop4shield, and enter the bootloader and flash it following the instructions at https://developer.nvidia.com/sites/...eld/SHIELD_tab/HowTo-Flash-Recovery-Image.txt.
In your case you probably only need to flash the boot partition, but if that is not enough then flash them all.

Glad to hear it.

(Solved) Soft-bricked, but unable to flash anything but CWM.

Hello, I seem to have soft bricked my tf700.
​I flashed a newish pacman nightly in CWM (after wiping data/cache/dalvik cache), which completed with no errors, then I flashed the corresponding GAPPS. But my device became stuck in the pacman boot intro.
​So I tried flashing slimkat which led to my device not getting past the first bootup screen (where you can enter recovery if pressing the corresponding buttons).
​After this screw-up I stupidly hit the wipe data button on the bootloader. I then tried doing the method of using fastboot to erase system, cache, and all that so I could flash system blob of the newest asus US SKU (that is correct for a US bought tf700 right?). Either this or wiping the data caused me to have a different bootloader as pictured below as I no longer have the android button and it does not ask me to press volume up to access recovery (the only way to access recovery is by hitting the wipe data button in bootloader).
​I can still fastboot flash CWM, but trying to flash TWRP does not work as it finishes but going into recovery causes the tablet to just restart. Trying to flash asus stock as above would always give me an error like the one pictured below. Similar errors occur if trying to flash any rom inside CWM via an external sd card.
​I do not have access to adb as i believe i dont have usb debugging enabled since the pacman rom or any other rom did not ever start. It just gives me the device not found error even after manually installing the drivers on two different computers.
Cant seem to get these pics to load, but copying the url and pasting it works.

You probably flashed the wrong Rom. Try flashing the >right< stock Rom and go from there. Double check everything you flash.

Whats the "right" rom here? Talking about the original asus stock rom? I have now tried the the pacman nightly, pacman release, slim kat release, clean rom release, an ICS asus stock rom, and two different versions of the jellybean asus stock rom. These were either done in CWM via internal sd card, external sd card, or done through fastboost flash system blob and flash zip.

Hmm, I'd Download a stock Rom for the device offline, take on the sd card and put it on there real quick and try to flash that, if not, you probably bricked your device. I wouldn't know how to fix it beyond that. Ask the dev that made the Rom were everything that went south and an email to cwm wouldn't hurt either

I am also not sure if I need to have my external sd card formatted a certain way or download a specific CWM to allow flashing the stock rom. Ive spent over 10 hours trying to figure this out, very frustrating.

I have run CWM 6.0.4.6, CWM 6.0.4.7, and older versions to see if I could flash the stock rom with no luck. I have also tried different versions of TWRP but they always hang and reboot my tf700. I get errors ranging from status 6, status 7, cannot mount data, cannot mount staging, and cannot mount system. I am completely lost on what I can do. I have even tried a seperate sdcard to see if maybe the one I was originally using was bad with no luck. GG :/

You gotta stop flashing stuff and slow down!
During all of this you never posted your bootloader version, so you may have been on the wrong bootloader to begin with - who knows.
When you hit the Wipe Data in the bootloader menu you caused the BL do write a wipe data command to the misc partition, causing the tablet to boot to recovery each time you booted (I'm guessing here) and then interrupting it. Usually, with CWM installed, it eventually sorts it out and executes the wipe data command, but that takes hours! You just have to leave it alone.
Hard to tell where you are now since you flashed all kinds of stuff since then.
Can you still boot into the bootloader and have a fastboot connection?
What's the BL version number?
If you boot, what does it boot into?
The picture links are broken - at least in Tapatalk. Post them again?

Yes, the pictures are broken. You can still copy paste the url though. Couldnt figure out why it wouldnt work.
The tablet boots into the first screen that states it is unlocked, but does not go any further.
There is no bootloader version on the top left when holding down power + volume down.
I can still get to the place where it allows me to wipe data or fastboot, but the android icon to boot into android is now gone.
adb does not recognize my device even after manually installing the drivers, but fastboot works fine.
Is there any other way to find my bootloader version?

Maybe you want to edit your post with the urls then.... Makes it easier for people trying to help...
You're seriously messed up, I think. I see a USB icon in there which would indicate that your bootloader is ancient. But then it says: "starting USB fastboot protocol".
Is that after you selected the USB icon?
Anyway, I think you're only chance is buster99's method to get it back. Did you try that already?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44244313&postcount=12
Naturally you have to extract the system blob from the 10.6.1.14.10 US Asus firmware, but then you can try to fastboot flash it with buster's method.
Good luck!

Right stop flashing random stuff - you have combinations of JB4.2.1, JB4.1.1 and ICS 4.0.3 just listed there.
Let me put a call out to @lj50036 who may be able to save you but if you have messed the bootloader up with no nvflash backups you are not going to be happy with the result. If you can still get to the bootloader screen then he can perform miraculous superhero acts and *maybe* save your device.

[RESOLVED] HELP.. Boot Loop With TWRP and L install

Hi
Earlier I installed TWRP via Philz and that worked fine.
I then reset my phone and flashed Bigxie's Android L, again this worked fine.
I flashed the new radio for the same thread and that worked fine.
I then downloaded CF-Root from here:
http://download.chainfire.eu/363/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hammerhead-hammerhead-nexus5.zip
Ran the Windows Batch file all seemed to go well. Bootloader was unlocked and the big red android appears on screen.
Phone booted back to TWRP, a script ran and then my phone started constantly booting the the TWRP screen.
All I'm getting is teamwin flashing up.
If I power off it goes back to this loop.
Any way I can get this working again ?
Not worried about any data.. I've got all I need backed up.
Thanks

dont use root toolkits.
flash the factory img via fastboot. then flash twrp again, flash a kernel that allows root, then flash the latest supersu.

Thanks for the reply.
Just want to claify to make sure I don't make it worse..
I've got the L image from Googles site, do I extract the factory.img from that ?
Then flash it using :
fastboot flash factory factory.img
Thanks

Think I may have made things worse..
I extracted the tgz file and while browsing double clicked the flash all batch file.
:silly: Not sure how the hell I clicked it twice.. but it's doing something.. .hopefully not killing my phone.
Any suggestions how I did myself out of this hole..

i dont think hitting it twice will do anything. but you might have to flash the img files separate, as in the flash-all is giving some ppl issues.

Found out how I've managed to double click.. The trackpad on my laptop is playing up.
I'll have to remember to use a USB mouse with it.
The phone has just rebooted and is coming back up.
Thanks for the advise.. looks like it's working.
I'll start a new thread with a couple of follow up questions.
Thanks

When doing this, is there any specific order to follow when flashing all the .img files separately? I am also getting errors stating recovery.sig and boot.sig are missing. Does installing separate also take care of this?

it appears that the flash-all is having issues and skipping. so by flashing them all individually, you will make sure to flash them all.
