While flashing the latest cromi rom, I wiped all the data on my device, even the operating system and rom files! I can get access to the TWRP, but can't do anything else. Any ideas of how to get an OS on it now?
Use adb to push the CROMi-X installation file into your device then install it from TWRP

Put the CROMi-X zip on a FAT32 formatted microSD and flash it from there.

I tried connecting the tablet to my laptop and it says it doesn't have the drivers. I am trying to find the drivers for the 700, but can't.

I am trying that again. The MicroSD I had was not being recognized by twrp. I have just started the reformat to see if that helps.
Thanks!

No luck, still can't access the card in TWRP. I went into Mount and it doesn't let me select the microSD card. Any ideas?

Are you saying that with the card inserted and from the 'Install" page in TWRP you cannot select the microSD as a source?
By tapping the field where it probably shows your internal and navigating to it??
I tried to go through the install menu, it shows a list of folders, one is labeled external_sdcard, but nothing is in it. i have gone to the mount menu in twrp to see if I need to mount the microSD and it shows up there, but won't let me select it like I can the other items in the list: System, Cache, Data

Reboot your tablet with the microSD in.. in TWRP select install / external_sdcard / CROMi-X....
This doesn't work?
Install the adb tool in your laptop (if you don't have it) with the drivers that I linked you before...
connect the device via usb to your laptop and run
Code:
adb push /path/to/local/file /mnt/sdcard/path/to/file
"/path/to/local/file" is where you have the CROMi-X zip file in your laptop
"/mnt/sdcard/path/to/file" is in your tf700
and flash it from TWRP

I can't get to the file in twrp like you state. The folder is empty even though i have formatted the card and added the zip files to the card.
I have gotten adb to run, but it doesn't see the device. I wasn't able to get the drivers you pointed me to to work. Windows doesn't recognize them when I point to the folder. I found a site that a guy had mentioned helped him install drivers when he couldn't and it led to a program called: USB Driver Tool SFX (http://visualgdb.com/UsbDriverTool/)
I was able to install a driver but it didn't work for adb, it was the Libusb - WinUSB driver and it installed as that and listed the device as that, not transformer.
So, I am stuck trying to get the tablet recognized by adb. Any ideas how to get the asus android usb drivers recognized? The zip didn't contain an install program, so I had to go into device manager and point to the directory.

For me.. the right thing is to install ubuntu in dual boot with windows on your laptop and learn how to use it.
But, I know, this probably is not the right way for you!
But trust me.. the time that you know how to move the first steps in linux you gonna be very happy and proud!
For such things linux is the right way!

ok, some success! I downloaded the bootloader/twrp zip file and the CROMi zip file. I put them in the folder where the adb is and i was able to push the bootloader/twrp file but can't push the rom. I keep getting "protocol failure". I changed the names of the zip files to boot.zip and rom.zip. I can push boot.zip with no problem but not rom.zip

This is TWRP recovery and Stock rooted roms for the ICS firmware on the tablet.
These will only work if you currently have ICS running on your tablet. If you still have honeycomb then do the upgrade first.
Nothing was added or removed from the stock roms besides root and busybox.
Only bug with TWRP is that you can't mount sdcard in recovery. Just use adb push.
Instructions for installing TWRP Recovery:
1. Ensure you have Android SDK installed with adb and fastboot working
2. Download both the twrprecovery.img and twrprecovery.zip from here
3. Copy twrprecovery.zip to external sdcard
4. Reboot tablet to bootloader by issuing the command "adb reboot bootloader"
5. Then "fastboot boot twrprecovery.img"
6. When in recovery choose install then browse to /sdcard and choose twrprecovery.zip and flash that zip
7. Now TWRP is installed permanently.
Thanks:
attn1 - gave me some help since I am new to pantech devices
Dees_troy - for TWRP code obviously
Tassadar - for his rotation code for twrp. Without this it wouldn't have been possible
Disclaimer: Flash this ROM at your own risk. I am not responsible for what you do on your device. I left this stock to provide a base for anybody that wants to use it. Mod this rom how you want. Just please remember to give credit where credit is due.
This is a pure stock rooted rom. It has items like busybox, init.d support and so forth. No apps were added or removed. Both Odexed and Deodexed versions below.
Downloads
just in case i need another
Once I reboot into fastboot, I am getting 'cannot load twrprecovery.img': no error
Any ideas? I even created a directory named tools in the adb directory on my computer and moved twrprecovery.img into it.
(Thought that might help).
Where is the twrprecovery.img file supposed to reside? (On the computer, or on the phone?)

On the computer. your command prompt should be at wherever you put twrprecovery.img file is. So for example you put twrprecovery.img at the root of c:, your command prompt should read c:/ .....

OK, stupid question:
How do you reboot to TWRP? It loaded the first time, and I did a backup.
After reboot, I can only seem to get into the standard recovery.
What is the button combination to get to TWRP?
Also, will we be able to use goo manager to update TWRP as new versions come out, or is this a custom version?
TIA

Read the instructions. You HAVE to flash the zip I provided for recovery to be installed permanently.
This recovery required some special code for screen rotation. Dees_troy is working on getting it added to mainline. So right now you can't get it through goo manager. But I work closely with Dees to make sure all my builds are officially supported. I will post here when it becomes available through there

Waiting on device in fastboot means drivers aren't installed or the wrong ones are. Download the software upgrade app from pantech site then install. Browse to the install directory and run the installer for the drivers. But before that uninstall whatever drivers you have installed currently. I'm mobile or else I would link you directly

Is this what you're referring to? I download it from Pantech website.
htt p://c7240 62.r62 .cf2.rackcdn. com/PantechPCSuite_1.1.1.3437. exe
When do I need to install the driver? During fastboot mode, or normal mode?
I also notice that when I change the usb mode to MTP, it detects missing driver as well.
During normal mode it detects 2 pantech drivers in order to connect to pc suite.
Oya, when you guys do adb devices, does your device detect POROROxxxxxxx as well or only numbers?
I wonder this has anything to do with it, because I was trying to root with honeycomb version earlier and my pantech is ICS 4.0.4

Actually it's similar steps; however, yours is more like 1-click root
Anyway, I tried everything all above, but it didn't solve my problem, then I found the solution from other website
I just want to share in case others are stuck in fastboot mode like me:
1. When your tablet screen is on fastboot mode (white), go to device manager on your pc
2. Right click on Android > Update driver
3. Click on Browse driver
4. Choose Let me pick manually from my pc list
5. Choose Android phone and pick the first list there. It should be "Android ADB..."
6. Install and fastboot continued
if you can't find Android ADB from your pc list, then you should unplug device then install PC Suite.
here's the old tuts: youtube com/watch?v=UHRonVzBMsI
Hopefully it helps others and thank you very much for all your help!

Finally! and a question
Finally a recovery for the element! Rhanks to the OP. Now I am less afraid to tinker with my tablet.
Question: The most important thing right now that I'd like to do is move the folder /data/data from the internal storage, to the internal SD card. This is stopping me from using Google Magazines and Google music, since their data is being stored there, and it shares space with actual applications. 1GB is not that much space for APPS, Dalvik Cache and APPs' data when you add magazines, and when google starts caching Music and Chrome data there. I currently only have 300MB left before I install Music and magazines. And that is AFTER I've used app2sd on all apps that can be moved. How do I do this?
I have tried simply creating a Link using "ln - s /mnt/sdcard/data /data/data" once I copied/moved the contents of the directory, which sort of works initially, but it will not work after a reboot. It actually stops my tablet from booting. (again, thanks to the OP for the recovery).
right now, I am just doing an "ln" on the specific folder inside the /data/data folder, but it acts weird when I use Titanium Backup to restore data
-> Android noob <-
Installing TWRP went smooth as silk. With twrprecovery.zip on you micro sdcard and Element connected with usb cable and USB debuuging checked 1.Just copy twrprecovery.img into your sdk folder/ platform-tools and also have a copy of cmd.exe from windows in the platform-tools folder. 2. Start cmd.exe and type or copy & paste command reboot bootloader 3. Then on white screen(fastboot) type or paste command fastboot boot twrprecovery.img 4. When you boot into TWRP install twrprecovery.zip.....As you rebbot system TWRP should ask if you want Supersu installed and swipe to install. Once rebooted install supersu from the Play store and open Supersu to update SU file all should be good
Thanks for the info and files. I know I'm a little late on this Tablet but picked it up cheap and with ATT 4G it goes along with my devices. The orginial owner hadn't even installed ICS and she wasn't even aware of an update. She now owns an Apple :laugh::laugh:device LOL

Yes good deal, got mine last month on Craigslist for $70.00 and works really well. The owner hadn't even updated to 4.0 or even knew how. It is a good tablet and have rooted it. I think its development is pretty well dead as not many sold. Only thing bad about it is the Element reads 2nd partition instead of 1st as most android devices do, so harder to use link2sd or folder mount as they both use 2nd partition.

I also can't push files ADB won't recognize my device.

APX should always work, unless there is a hardware defect.
Try these drivers. Try if possible with XP.
Then use easyflasher to install recovery or stock rom again.
Remember:
APX mode is just a black screen, but your PC will install drivers and see the device when you enter that mode
Hold Volume up & Power until the USB connect sound appears, now you are in APX mode - there will be nothing on the screen of the transformer until you are flashing a new ROM maybe
AND NEVER USE Rom Manager again on TF101!!

I know the APX modes. So that's one thing i am aware of. The strange thing is that wether i start up in the CWM revoverymodus, or APX, or try to COLD BOOT (hangs) or normal startup. In al was windows 7,8 and XP are telling me UNKNOWN DEVICE.
When I manually try to update drivers, the system won't except the drivers because the shouldn't be compatible?!?!?!?!?
So the naked drivers haven't worked!
If could only get in a working APX mode.... I could manage it from there, but that;s the major issue.
Is it possible that UBUNTU should recognize the tablet?? I could even install DOS or LINUX on a spare machine..... But then I won't have an USB support.

If you see unknown device in device manager, just point to the driver by hand.
Use XP.
A time ago I used Ubuntu ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso.
Driver was included because I could use nvflash in it. I made a backup with nvflash in Ubuntu. Don't know about later versions of ubuntu.
But first give a try in XP because then you can use easyflasher.
edit: I see you already did by hand.
Which driver you are pointing to ?
I have a nvflash.zip with driver included (usbpcdriver directory). You can also point to universal naked driver.
Have a read through this thread, if your tablet supports NVFlash it should work so long as there are no hardware issues
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270850
I did try to point them by hand, but it's not working.....
I'm using XP on a machine where the tablet was never been used on. So conflicts are also terminated by that.
I did lose my tablet's battery when I was formatting the /data partition. Could that also be the problem? (Dummy
)
This is DUTCH, but the fault is displayed in english.

Not for APX. APX should always work because it is in the hardware.
Did you use a usb 2.0 port on XP ?
Which drivers you are pointing to ?
(where are they are coming from)
You can give Ubuntu a try. You can use the live cd. Installing is not necessary.

What message you are getting ?
Point to the main directory of the drivers, not to the i386 directory (just to be sure).

I am pointing in the directory and i am getting the message:
Can not find newer drivers for hardware
Strange.... because there aren't any drivers.... UNKNOWN DEVICE is "installed" without any drivers!
PS I am know on UBUNTU LIVE DVD, but over there I can't find the device list, but only a view with DISPLAY, MOUSE etc.
IS there an one click flasher for UBUNTU for SBK-machines????

First try this on Ubuntu
Then you know apx and nvflash will work.
After this you can try nvflash from here
You have to flash the SOS partition (=recovery). Get it from the easy flasher zip. It is also there.
I don't know if there is a one click flasher for linux. Maybe you can use this

Is unknown device gone when disconnect TF101 ?
(to make sure you looking at the right one)
Edit: did you also installed Asus Sync on XP ?
If yes, deinstall and try again with driver.
If not, install Asus sync and try again.
What I also did ( in XP):
- disconnect TF
- start TF in APX mode
- connect cable
(don't know if it is relevant but you can try)
With NVFLASH you must be sure what you are doing. I never restored with it.
I prefer the easyflasher method.

Hi GLS9,
Yes when I turn of the device, unknown device disapears!
I also did the connecting in your way.
I have also tried installing asus sync.... Also no succes!
I'm trying to connect within Ubuntu, but i can not instal pakages on the normal way as they are descriped in multiple threads.
Tomorrow or Monday i'll Will install Ubuntu in stead of running it from dvd. I will try further! For now i Will have to run! Thanks for your support till now.
Erik to fix unknown device, you have to uninstall it in device manager, then with tab reconnected and on, Windows will try to install the drivers automatically DO NOT ALLOW IT, cancel installation , then head back to device manager and manually install the naked drivers.
Steps
1. Tab is connected and displays unknown device
2. Uninstall unknown device from device manager
3. A reboot of the pc and turn the tablet off and then back on.
4. After reboot reconnect tablet, Windows will try to automatically install drivers " stop immediately " do not allow installation.
5. Go back to device manager and manually install naked driver.
It would be better to do this on Windows 7 if you have it, Windows 8 has driver enforcement which can be extra work to disable.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD
In device manager, try going to VIEW > SHOW HIDDEN DEVICES
That might solve your disappearing issue
But to force a driver install, instead of telling the update driver window to look in a folder, tell it you have the file on your PC and direct it exactly to that driver

What packages do you want to install ?
As I remember correctly, nothing is needed.
Would you like me to attempt to walk you through fixing it in windows?
I can use the teamviewer software to either take control of or direct you on where to click (RC or Meeting) and see if I can't help you get the drivers working. I had a tablet in a similar condition that I fixed in this manner for someone.
Pm or quote me if you want, otherwise continue with trying advice in this thread. I don't have much else to add reading through other than making sure the drivers are done right.
Hello, I need help to save my bricked tf300tg. On tf300tg there is no more S.O. and enters only in TWRP Recovery (v.2.6.3.0) but I can not flash any rom.:crying:

How I know latest stable TWRP for tf300tg is 2.4.4.0, but I have tf300t and don't sure in it. Anyway You can flash stock firmware through fastboot. And make sure You use TWRP and rom for Your current bootloader.
Unfortunately, if I connect to the pc tf300tg is recognized as the Transformer and the fastboot does not work because it does not recognize the tablet.
Try to remove all software and drivers for tablet from Your PC and install Universal Naked Driver.

How do I install? I tried to choose the tablet driver from the folder Universal Naked Driver but I get "Can not find driver software for this device".
I tried to install this rom and the installation starts, it installs the rom on the external sd card and not on the memory of the tablet. In fact, the recovery can not mount the memory of the tablet but only the external sd.
You should able force windows to use this driver. Instead of search chose driver manually and pick android_winusb.inf.

I can not because the drivers are not 64bit.
I can not understand why the recovery does not mount the internal sd.
Thanks for your time :angel:
Recovery can not see internal memory because this version incompatible with Your tablet. You can use virtual machine for fastboot, but it kind of risky. I tried to do so with virtualbox already and was succeeded.

I was hoping to resolve on its own with the help of the forum. Unfortunately I'll have to bring it to service, or try with virtualbox but I do not know how to do.
I removed all drivers for tablet and installed xubuntu 13.04 x32 on virtualbox. Xubuntu already have proper drivers for tablet and fastboot binary in software center. So You need to install only one package for it. Using fastboot in Ubuntu and Windows is same with little exeptions: You need run fastboot with root privileges.
ASUS EEEPAD TRANSFORMER TF101G

I'm not able to flash any rom or recovery anymore, the only thing i get is: unknown volume for path [/sdcard/] can't mount /sdcard/.
been trying with PERI, 1Click root, and several tools by ADB or by APK, but nothings change.
I would like to flash a linux image, and to change to TWRP recovery, as i've read twpr is the most compatible recovery for tf101g, isn't it?
(the same error is given with any rom zip)

So you can try with this guide
1: Get a working SD card.
2: Download ASUS stock rom.
3: Connect your TF101G to a windows PC.
4: Boot your TF101G into APX mode
5: Install APX drivers.
6: Put the ROM zip inside the asusupdate folder.
7: Launch Easy Flasher and select Flash ASUS stock zip.
8: The app should now open a DOS window and run a script... something like extracting blob and then a bunch of other stuff.
9: Once it runs its course your tablet should say *installation success!* or something to that effect.
10: Reboot.
good luck

APX mode with NVflash/wheelie won't work on the TF101G unfortunately (we don't have the SBK for the TF101G). So EasyFlasher also won't work!
If you can boot into recovery you could connect to your PC with the cable and use adb shell from your PC. You could then "adb push" the TWRP zip to internal storage (not sure if the CWM version you have installed supports it though). Alternatively you could try mounting the SD from the command line, or try and get a different MicroSD card if your one is faulty. That's about all you can do on the TF101G unfortunately.

You might want to try that although if your tab is recognized under Windows it should be ok. Linux normally does not require installation of special drivers. If you have permission errors, just run adb as root.
BTW, just to be sure, you have to run adb while your tab is in Recovery mode, NOT APX!

From what I remember, 64bit Windows requires signed drivers, the drivers you need (Universal Naked Drivers) are not signed
Install 32bit Windows 7 in VMWare or Virtualbox

You can't install this with easyflasher. You also cannot install it via a "recovery zip". You have to do it in the command line (either in Android, using Android Terminal Emulator, or in Recovery with adb shell). Detailed instructions are on the threads - please read them!

Dear All,
I own a Asus EeePad Transformer TF101 tablet. I have accidentally bricked my tablet (wiped out the Android operating system) whilst attempted to upgrade to Android 4.4.
I have contacted various IT Repair services, but they have been unable to repair the tablet. It is regrettable that the tablet cannot currently be repaired because it is a lovely machine.
Please could you let me know if there are any Android experts who can help me? Your support is much appreciated.
Best,
Stephen Tang

Ok so there might be a problem with the sdcard reader or maybe with the recovery. But anyway you should be able to use adb to push a rom to your transformer when booted in recovery mode.

Even easier you could use adb to push the newest twrp and use the built-in MTP function so you could see your tablet as a Storage device on windows, then drag and drop a rom to your internal storage and flash it.
So make sure you have all you drivers installed for the tf101 on your computer
download and install "minimal adb and fastboot"
download twrp 2.8.1.1 and save it in the same folder where you have installed minimal adb and fastboot"
Boot your phone in CWM recovery
In the folder where you have installed minimal adb and fastboot, hold left SHIFT and right click a blank space in that folder, select "open a command prompt here".
in the command prompt, type:
Code:
adb devices
you should see an output like this
Code:
List of devices attached
(your tf101 serial number) recovery
If yes then proceed with the next step, if no, post back here.
in the command prompt, type this:
Code:
adb push signed_twrp-2.8.1.1_tf101.zip /sdcard
and wait for the output, something like
Code:
1330 KB/s (5215688 bytes in 3.828s)
then in cwm, select "install zip from sdcard" and navigate to find "signed_twrp-2.8.1.1_tf101.zip" and install it.
then power off your tablet and reboot in recovery mode again, but this time you should boot in TWRP 2.8.1.1
when booted in recovery (TWRP) You should see your tablet as a storage device in windows, so all you need to do from there is to drag n drop a rom like this one to your device in windows and install it using twrp.

Well all you need to do is to push a rom to your tablet using adb, which should be done when booted in recovery mode. Don't even need to use an sdcard. I don't have any other ideas except finding another IT or a friend that know how to use ADB. Or you could send it to me but im near Montreal so I don't think it will worth it vs shipping cost.
Btw im using this method to flash roms on my gf's transformer without issue (the sd card port is damaged so I can't use sd cards)
Thanks for the prompt response. So the Repair Man should follow through steps 1-7. What happens at Step 8? Is this where he would push a ROM to the tablet using ADB - instead of using CWM?
