Hello,
I need some help to get the new ICS update. I have a TF101 (no G), serial B80, with firmware HTK75.WW_epad-8.6.6.23.
Previously I was on 8.6.6.19 and used razorclaw to root it. Then I have done the wipe data, and installed 8.6.6.23.
When I boot with Power and Vol- then Vol+ to enter RCK mode I get the green android guy with exclamation mark.
When I boot with Power and Vol-, then Vol+ I get 2 options: Wipe data and android cold boot.
I used some apps to test if the device is root and they say no.
Sorry for my english, but it's not my main language.
Any idea to fix this?
The 8.6.6.23 is firmware for the 3G model. You will not see OTA since ICS is not released for G model yet.
You can try to manually install 8.5.6.21. You could also try rooting and installing cwm recovery and flash the ICS ROM
Thanks for the answer. I've searched around and it seems that I can't get back to 8.5.6.21.
When I try to install it I get the android guy with exclamation point.
I guess I have to wait for ICS on 3G model

Easiest way is to root, install CWM recovery and flash an ICS ROM. Either the stock rooted ROM or one of the many custom ROMs
I was in a similar situation. The ASUS recovery did not work for me either and I couldn't figure out how to install CWM. There is not a lot of help for noobs with B80s and with all the methods out there it was a challenge to find the correct one. Here's what I did:
1. If you are not rooted, follow the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427838 to get rooted. I had updated to the .21 firmware, and at that point, the nachoroot method is the only option. I had some trouble connecting ADB, but eventually I got it to work. This was the most difficult part of the process.
2. Install CWM. I was having trouble with this using the ASUS recovery, and I think it has to do with B80 models. I found the app in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180 and it is amazing. If you are rooted, it installs CWM even on the B80 versions. The custom recovery will allow you to install any rom.
3. Download the option B ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514658. Place the zip on your SD card. This rom is the ASUS stock ICS firmware with root. Contrary to what some have said--I noticed a huge difference with ICS!
3. Backup all your user apps and data with Titanium Backup (optional). Do not back up system data, just user apps if you want to keep them.
4. Open your recovery. Shut the tablet off, and boot into recovery by holding down the power button and the volume down button until you are prompted to boot into recovery by pressing volume up. Pressing volume up should load CWM.
5. Wipe and then install! To wipe, select "wipe" on the recovery menu. Then wipe all data, cache, and dalvik-cache. To install, select install zip from SD card and find the zip file you downloaded in step 3.
Best of luck!
Hi,
may i hook in here, i've got a similar problem:
i TRY to get in adb mode, but it doesn't work as expected:
i used this thread initially (ASUS Transformer Root ToolKit V7.1 Universal (Windows) | 2011-09-22), i downloaded the toolkit, connected my turned off tab to the pc, booted via Power + vol up, it got connected to windows and i installed the drivers. so far so good. BUT: if i start adb server and use adb device, i dont get any devices listed... i cant do anything. And when i use this nvflash method with the download.bat file, i get an error and the usb connection vanishes... i dont have any further ideas what to do. but i can boot afterwards normaly to 3.2.1, though i dont get any updates
any hints? Thanks for reading anyways
thanks, DK
[edit] i have the version HTK75.DE_epad-8.6.5.21-20111216 installed [/edit]

What you did was put your tablet into APX mode. That's only good if you're doing NVFLash not ADB.
To use ADB just have yourtablet on like normal with USB debugging turn on
Hi,
thanks for your fast reply, you are right. i got my adb device id when beeing in the os, so this works. but, trying to use nvflash/Brk's Asus TF RootKit over apx, i got the initial connection, but when i want to flash it looses the connection or dies or something... no idea what
you got any hints how i can come back to a clean version, which is upgradable?
thx & best regards,
dk
this is the program output btw:
Creating backup of current boot and recovery img
this should take some time... please wait

I have a new Transformer TF101 that I rooted with vipermod.
I tried installing CWM using the recovery installer at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180, but it kept giving me parsing errors when I tried to run the apk. This happened when I copied over the su from bin to xbin.
So I tried Rom Manager to install the CWM there, but when I try to boot into it, it would get stuck saying Booting recovery kernel image.
If I try to use the Transformer Reboot to Recovery app, it gets stuck at the boot screen and goes into a semi reboot loop where If I try powering it off, it automatically powers on again and I had to do a data wipe to recover.
Does anyone have any idea how I can solve this? I really don't want to be stuck on Android 3.1 forever since it won't update to ICS with the stock update either now.
The android version is 3.1, Build is 8.4.4.11.
Thanks!
I know you already tried this installer, but check out this link.
You could also try using ADB to install the CWM recovery: link.
Read through there and follow the instructions around step 6 since you're already rooted.
If this doesn't work:
Does the ASUS recovery not work at all? As in holding vol-down while powering on then pressing vol-up to enter recovery? If it does you could try an update.zip to flash back to the old stock version that supports old razorclaw and use that to flash recovery reroot and pop a ROM on there (stock rooted ICS or otherwise) I'll give further help if you have to resort to this.

Your firmware is to old for RecoveryInstaller to work. Manually update to latest ICS, root with ViperMod and use RecoveryInstaller for CWM.

i'm a damn tool and i'm hoping one exists to get my tf300t tablet running again
i had it running beautifully with cm10, then i decided i'm gonna install the touch clockworkmod, but i didn't read the thread properly it was for a stock jb rom, so now when i press the power button, i'm stuck on the asus boot logo with " this device is unlocked" text in the upper left corner, and when i push power + vol down it locks up at " booting bootloader recovery image" , i'm wondering if there is anything i can do to save my tablet or is it bricked and there's absolutely no way of fixing it, thanks for your time

well i just found out by holding vol up and the pinhole reset button then 3 seconds release the reset button while still holding vol up, i can get my computer to detect apx mode
hopefully whith a NVflash version for the tf300t we can recover it
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".

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
I'm in a bootloop mentally and technically! I've spent days trying to install Twrp, searching the forum, watching videos... Think I've tried most guides two or three times w/o success. From GooManager/Install OpenRecoveryScript it starts downloading and then aborts w/a "false MD5 blob" pop-up. When I tried to install directly I had a validated MD5.
This is not a very helpful description of the problem but I'm so brain-drained that I really can't recall all the different things I've tried. Amazed I've not bricked the thing! Am just hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
TF700T, v.4.0.3, Kernel 2.6.39.4.
I just checked the posts "suggested" last night when I posted in the wrong form and I've been to them all except the one about using motochopper to root and then using GooManager to install Twrp recovery. I'm already rooted. Should I unroot and reroot w/motochopper?

When I boot into fastboot (power on volume down) the only options that appear are two icons, "Wipe Data" and "Android". There is no usb icon to select.
Following "ADB/Terminal method" with terminal emulator or with adb it seems to be doing something, but I still cannot boot into the bootloader...same two "Wipe Data" and "Android" icons.

You can download the Asus Unlock app V8 from Asus website.. You need to install it on your device and open it. It will walk you through the whole process. It is very quick and easy.. Good luck. :fingers-crossed:

Yeah, like LetMeKnow said, you have to unlock your tab using the Asus Unlock tool.
The info on the TWRP site is somewhat outdated and refers to the JB 4.1 bootloader. Under JB 4.2,
if you boot into the bootloader menu, you are already in fastboot mode by default. Under 4.1 you would select the USB icon to start fastboot. Oh, btw, if you boot with Power and Volme Down, you ARE in the bootloader...
I do hope you have RCK in addition to the Android and Wipe Data in your bootlaoder menu! Otherwise something is seriously wrong here!
Once you unlocked you will be able to use GooManager or the ADB method to flash TWRP.

IIRC the old 9.4.x bootloader used some other way to boot to recovery.
@cBirdR: if your firmware version is still 9.4.5.26 or earlier, be sure to read the thread about NVFlash *before* you install anything and create your blobs for unbricking.

The 9.4.x bootloader was alsmost the same as the new bootloader, the only difference is that it had 4 options (fastboot, recovery, coldboot and wipe data) instead of 3.And iirc if the device was locked the fastboot option (USB icon) was hidden but the recovery was always there (RCK icon).

Well, I've finally got Twrp installed, but cannot reboot into recovery from GooMgr or Clock Mode, only via the bootloader. I was re-reading you guys' posts and your #7 says it all. No RCK. I tried downloading it with Clock Mod, indicated success but nothing changed.
Twrp's Reboot Menu only lists System and Power Off, no Recovery or Bootloader option. But Clock Mode Recovery says current recovery is TWRP. Is it time for me to head for the Twrp forum? I know it's time to donate.

I have not used Goo and CM. Therefore, I don't know what they have on their boot menu. About the TWRP reboot menu, there are only two options. One is System and other is Power Off.. If you want to boot into the bootloader, you need to use the power button + volume down when your device is in the off state. Also, if you have the latest bootloader, you should see three icons: RCK, Android, and Wipe..

Let me make sure I understand you correctly:
You have TWRP installed and can boot into it - correct?
Which version of TWRP?
I have no idea what Clock Mod is and I wouldn't use GooManager for anything but installing TWRP.
As _that said, the ICS bootloader may have had a different way to boot into recovery, I don't know - I did not have ICS on this tab ever. But if you can boot into TWRP (hopefully version 2.5, 2.6 will do in a pinch) it does not matter.
If all that is true, select 'Backup' in TWRP and make a nandroid of your current setup. And I assume you have backed up all personal data, pictures, videos etc to an external SD card anyway.....
Assuming you want to run a custom rom, go to the OP of the CROMi-X thread, download and flash the 10.6.1.14.8 bootloader/TWRP 2.5 package and then boot back into system which should happen automatically, but if it doesn't, just boot back into system once.
Boot back into TWRP, select 'Wipe' and swipe the button to do a factory reset. This is crucial. You do not want to install a JB 4.2.1 based rom without doing a factory reset first.
Go back to the Home page in TWRP, select 'Install', navigate to the CROMi-X 4.7 rom you downloaded to your external card and flash it.

Only method to boot into TWRP is power off, boot w/ boot with Power and Volume Down, b/4 the three icons Wipe, USB, Android appear, push power down and it boots into TWRP (version 2.6.0.0). Not going to try the second part of your post re OP of CROMi-X thread until I see what you have to say this.
ClockworkMod (ROM Manager), koushikdutta developer. I'm sure you know it.
LetMeKnow and Maxal:
TWRP on my Nexus7 has four choices under the Reboot Menu: System, Power Off, Recovery and Bootloader. TWRP on TF700T only System and Power Off. Also there is no RCK icon when
I did get a backup last night using TWRP.
I've used Quick boot for years and cannot boot into recovery thru it...same result as when try to reboot into recovery w/GooMgr.
Appreciation to you all.

It is odd. RCK is a part of your bootloader. If it is not there, then something is wrong with your bootloader. It just my understanding about the bootloader. I am wrong so many times about the Android OS. So please don't take it seriously until some experts confirm it.. If you screw up your bootloader, I don't think there are many options for you to fix it. Now you still can access to it. I would suggest that you do a factory reset and download the full latest firmware from Asus website and update your bootloader.. It just my opinion. I am very sure some experts here will chime in and give you a better instructions or guides.. Good luck.
