[Q] TF101G stuck on boot,cannot access recovery. Any way to fix via adb maybe?

Flashed latest stock firmware 9.2.2.6 ww
Rooted using 1-Click Transformer Root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1689193
Flashed cwm from rom manager with no errors or smth.
Then decided to restore to factory defaults the usual way, through settings.
Now I can't boot the usual way (continous asus ring) & can't boot to recovery - green android robot with blue sphere rotating.
Still adb sees the device in recovery mode & I can push files, but can't do anything because can't flash these files
Is there a way to flash recovery without fastboot or flash a rom?

First, ROM Manager does not work with recovery installation on the Asus tablets. There is a warning in one of the forums here about it.
I would use PERI to push a new working recovery via ADB. Then push your ROM to the internal memory and flash it.

Used OneclickrecoveryV0.4.
Now I cannot get access to adb: Volume Down + Power = Booting recovery kernel image
Also usual boot doesn't progress to Asus rotating ring, only Eee Pad logo.
Is there any way out of this "booting recovery kernel image"?

I left it turned off on a charger for several hours & decided to take a look once again before putting it into the box. Suddenly it just turned on & booted normally, wow!! )

Hey folks,
I'm currently facing the same problem.
I tried to root with 1-Click Transformer Root Tool v1.1. I received an error stating that busybox failed to install, also SuperSU wasn't installed. I started the 1-Click Tool again and it said that the Transformer is rooted. So I chose to install the CWM recovery but the script stated that the device was offline. That happened a couple of times, so I decided to install recovery via GooManager, which also failed ("no recovery was found for your device") and finally tried to flash twrp recovery using the terminal emulator - which worked - and rebooted the pad.
Since this reboot, it is not possible to boot the OS normally. It always gets stuck on the EEE pad splash screen, as cordlesspass describes. It's not possible to boot into recovery. I tried to fix this problem with PERI's tool which pushed and flashed the new recovery, but no change.
The only way to boot the OS is a cold boot. This works and the device behaves normally. I also tried to let it charge a couple of hours and then boot again, but no change. It still gets stuck.
I'm using no custom rom, only the latest stock fw.
Do you have any idea how to fix this problem?

AW: [Q] TF101G stuck on boot,cannot access recovery. Any way to fix via adb maybe?
So, for all those who have the same problem as I had, I found a solution and its a pretty easy one!
In my case, it seemed to be a permission problem concerning /dev/block/mmcblk0p3. So, I went through different threads and found a suitable solution here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530337&page=20.
All you have to do is to enter terminal emulator on your device (or use adb alternatively) and enter:
su
echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0
reboot
You should see the asus eee pad screen with a blue progression bar and then it should boot normally. Thanks to partio for this hint! :thumbup:

Unable to flash recovery.

Hello. I have ran into a problem and was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it.
I purchased my TF300T a couple days ago and upgraded to 4.2. I unlocked the boot loader and installed cwm recovery. It seemed as if the recovery would not mount or recognize any storage and would not let me install or wipe any thing. I tried to install another recovery through fast boot. It would say successful in my adb command window, but the boot loader would freeze and I would have to force reboot. I tried wiping the recovery, then flashing the new one and still no luck. Now I am stuck with no recovery and unable to flash a new one.
I can still boot up into android.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

You flashed bad recovery! You tried to install CWM for JB 4.1.1, now you can't install recovery for 4.2.1. You must wait for new version of recovery (TWRP is the best!).

You are trying to flash the blob file right?

So is my only option to wait for a recovery to be made for 4.2 ?

You have TWRP 2.4.3.0 now => [RECOVERY][TF300T/TG] TWRP 2.4.3.0 Touch Recovery! [2013-3-1] by eyeballer and the download link
You have all versions:
openrecovery-twrp-2.4.3.0-tf300t-ICS.blob
openrecovery-twrp-2.4.3.0-tf300t-ICS.img
openrecovery-twrp-2.4.3.0-tf300t-JB.blob
openrecovery-twrp-2.4.3.0-tf300t-JB.img

I tried flashing those. It would say that it was successful in the adb window, but the boot loader would freeze. When I try to boot into recovery it goes straight to the android os-

Not able to reboot into recovery or auto-install ROM's

I had unlocked my TF700T and installed CM10, but it has never had the capability to reboot into recovery when enabled in the developer options -- selecting that when rebooting simply makes the ASUS logo come up several times, then it boots normal without going into recovery.
A related issue is when I download a CM10.1 update and tell it to upgrade, it reboots but doesn't install the new version from recovery.
I'm assuming something isn't unlocked or enabled somehow... but on the ASUS boot screen it does say "device is unlocked".

I assume you can still access the recovery per the button-press method?

Yes, that's the only way I can access it.

The button press method is the proper way to flash anything. If you unlock you BETTER know how to flash in recovery. Also, GooManager will not flash firmware on the TF700, you must do it manually from recovery, thus why the upgrade is failing.

Yes I certainly can and do flash all sorts of stuff from recovery -- first CM, now TWRP. But on my Epic 4G I just use CM Updater to download the latest ROM, then it asks me if I want to install, I say yes, and it reboots and installs it for me. But on my TF700T it isn't happening -- when I answer "yes" it just reboots without installing the new ROM.

Is it NORMAL with the TF700T to be unable to boot into recovery by using the power menu??
Is there something I don't have configured properly or didn't install something properly?

Yes (with the stock ROM).

Sorry, I should have been clear: I meant "with any version of CM?"

I use goo manager just to reboot into recovery, than flash manually. If I had to do the button boot recovery I wouldn't flash anything anymore.
Always sweaty hands when I see those three icons.

Interesting. Rebooting to recovery with Goo Manager doesn't work for me either -- it just flashes the ASUS logo several times and then boots normally.
Seems like my recovery isn't setup properly -- any suggestions on how I can fix it?

Sorry I can't help you fix it. But getting into recovery is as simple as typing this at the terminal if you have busybox installed or use the rebooter widget from ROM Toolbox or the market app. They all do the same thing.
Code:
reboot recovery

[Q] Stuck on the animated boot screen (spinning wheel)

Hi guys
I recently tried putting a CM10 on my tf700t 4.2.1
I read all the guides, dangers and info I could before starting.
I had numerous issues with adb and all the command prompt programs not recognising my device was connected.
Anyway, I unlocked it using the ASUS tool from their website, that was fine.
I then followed the instructions on getting the recovery image on. I got TWRP on finally.
I then placed the CM zip folder on the storage, booted in recovery and flashed it on.
It installed successfully but now it doesn't get back the boot up screen of the spinning light wheel.
ANy help would be appreciated, I can still boot to the recovery menu, should I wipe it all or?
Thanks in advance!

Sounds as if you may have the wrong bootloader or the wrong bootloader/recovery combination. Check which bootloader is required for CM and what you are running now. Also, versions matter. So check the compatibility of the TWRP version you are running.
Do not wipe anything unless you know what you are doing!

RCK not working

Hi,
I was using Phil recovery before and I tried to flash TWRP.
For some reason, after I have flashed TWRP, I cannot get into RCK again and the machine will freeze (the one with 4 icons)
How can I reinstall recovery? It will be good to get it through irdin as I don't know how to fastboot. Can I use erminal emulator to install it again?
I have installed goomanager and when I tried to boot the device into bootloader, it will just freeze on the ASUS screen
Thank you

If you have 4 icons you are on the wrong bootloader. Tread carefully as you are <--> this close to hard bricking your device now. DO NOT WIPE IT - if you do you've lost it.
You should flash the latest asus stock rom to get your bootloader updated but you will have to do that over fastboot from a pc now...... Instructions are in general I think.
