Good Afternoon, Windows user here,
I've been trying to install Ubuntu on my TF101, installing CWM-recovery on top of my rom, katkiss 4.3
I didn't realise that roach didn't let you access external SD cards...
Here is my question:
How can i either access SD cards from roach-r2, or how can i flash a different Recovery that can access external SD cards.
I have the android sdk, but when i tried to adb push, my device wasn't there (it did show up in Device Manager). the drivers i installed were from This Thread.
Also, what would you recommend for a windows user to install Ubuntu on their TF101
Thanks a lot, good evening.
Flash TWRP Recovery zip from CWM

CWM recovery & Jellybean = problems
Agreed!

Hi folks,
I might have a stupid noob question, but not able to find the answer.
I got a Motorola Xoom (EU), and I did root it the other day.
All working fine.
Now I get update notifications for 3.1, but I'm not able to install the stock update.
After the reboot, the Android logo is showing an error, and then it reboots to normal OS.
Now the question is, all instructions I found so far require an external SD Card to get a custom rom with 3.1/3.2 installed.
Is a SD card required, or can I get the same done via USB debug?
Thanks for looking at this thread.
Regards,
derchris

You need a custom version of ClockworkMod Recovery made for the Xoom. You can flash the solarnz R4c v3.2.0.0 that does require a micro sdcard (even a 2GB is fine) which will appear at mnt/external1, or you can go with Rogue recovery that will let you flash from internal storage (mnt/sdcard) or other options. It's up to you but you must be able to flash the recovery image file through adb/fastboot, since you can't flash a zip file through fastboot.
Thanks for the reply,
I used this thread to install recovery-Tiamat-R4c-100611-1150-cwm.img, as they had a recovery image file for adb/fastboot.
Looking through the options, I see a "mount USB storage" option, but I ended up in only having a 3 MB drive, and as soon as I exited the menu the drive was gone too.
Do you happen to know a download for an adb/fastboot image of the Rogue Recovery?
I don't have a single SD Card, thats why I would like to use USB or internal memory.

You would have to go to that thread and see if there is an option for initial install via img file. I haven't used Rogue, so I don't know.
I figured it out myself
There was an img file inside the zip, which I was able to flash to the Xoom.
Next I used Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.2.2 "Moray" from the internal memory, and have now 3.2.1 on my Xoom.
Thanks for the help
My pleasure.
Ok, So I've got a problem, I caused myself of course. I've been running one of the Jelly Bean beta roms that are out there and I wanted to go back to ICS. I've got CWM installed (the touch based one, 5.8 something) I threw Android Revolution 3.5 and the super wipe utility on the external SD card. I tried installing from that in CWM, however I couldn't mount the SD card. I moved the files from the external to the internal, and ran the wipe from there. Then I tried to install the ROM. Now I have nothing on my internal SD card, and I can't seem to mount the internal SD card in windows to put the files on the SD card to try the install again. The tablet will boot into CWM, but won't boot into anything else. If I don't boot into CWM it just stays at the Eee Pad boot screen. I've tried using a couple one click newbie applications I've found in these forums to no avail. I'm currently trying to install it via ADB (adb install C:\ROMfile.zip) and it seems to just be sitting there. I can see my device in ADB if I type ADB devices. I know all is not lost, I'm just not sure where to go from here. Thank you for your help!!!
Edit, I gave up on that and am now trying to push the file to the internal storage, but it isn't working.

Yours is one of the ones I've tried. Doesn't seem to flash a recovery, and I can't get it to install the stock firmware.
Perhaps it would help to list what programs I've tried:
Brk Root Toolkit
OneClickRecovery 0.4
Easy Flasher 0.8.3b

I can't link to the thread, noob that I am, but here was my solution to a similar problem:
OK. I managed to master the ADB command prompt well enough to "ADB Push c:\update.zip /sdcard/" Hey-zuss, there is a lot out there to read. After that, a few 2 tries with CWM got me to actually flashing '/sdcard/update.zip'
Steps I took:
Install the android SDK
Get the latest version of the ASUS ROM
Unzip the outer container.
Rename the zip carried inside to to "update.zip", and place it on 'C:\'
Start a command prompt in the directory with 'ADB.EXE' in it. (part of platform-tools for the android SDK)
In the command prompt, enter the statement, "ADB Push c:\update.zip /sdcard/update.zip'
Use ClockWorkMod to flash a new ROM, and chose the 'update.zip' from the root directory.
Chew nails.
(mine failed, so as a true windows user, I tried it again)
Chew nails.
Success.
The android SDK is easy to fin/install
The ASUS ROM is available from asus (find downloads/firmware for your system)
Now to time backup the ROM I have with CWM so I never have to do this again!

I've tried a couple times to use ADB push to put a ROM on my SD card, and every time ADB has said it successfully transferred the file. Yet when I boot into CWM I can't seem to find it, nothing at all is on my SD card, no folders, nothing, after the super wipe script for Revolution. I'll try again, and continue to do so. I've also found Wheelie which supposedly gets me NVflash on my SBKv2 TF101 that I might try and use to flash my tablet back to stock.
edit: well, for some reason this time the push worked! I'm up and running again!!! Thanks all so much!
Bear with me, a noob in the woods....
Installed older version of CWM (5.2.8 maybe?) and it worked fine except no access to external sdcard. It did, however, let me browse around the tablet's internal folders and so I could install from there. But... because I wanted to do restores onto an external 8meg sdcard I have (and one I have proven the Asus can write to happily with OS loaded)... I decided to update CWM to ver 6.0.1.2. I did the update via the old version in a recovery session. But now, I get no options at all for directories I can access. Or am I being dense here? the sdcard will not mount and is not accessible. (Even tried reformatting it.)
I would like to install either a version of TWRP or a version of CWM that will let me access both internal directories and external sdcard.
The good news? I can still boot to my EOS (ver 79) customized ver of Jelly Bean. So I have the working OS... just no way to change my Recovery system into something useable. To replace it, it has to work to let me replace it! (Catch 22 big-time.)
Thanks for any help.
Hi there !
I lost my USB cable for my Asus Transformer TF101 for months now, I only have a backup charging cable which does not allow me to connect it to my Laptop,
I'm wondering if there is any chance to install kitkat 4.4.2 without my computer ( like copying the file directly on my SD card) , and if there is a tutorial somewhere
Thanks in advance for your help =)
Cheers
If you already have TWRP recovery installed, just download it using your TF and copy it to your MicroSD Card / SDCard
Boot into recovery do all the required wipes and Flash it

Nop, and i'm pretty sure that i'll need the cable to root my device, don't I ?
I think some early builds of stock ICS and Honeycomb were able to be rooted from the tablet, transformerforums.com has some guides
Otherwise yep, grab a cable from ebay
You can root your tablet using Baidu Root. I can't post outside links so google "Baidu Root 2.3.7 English". The process is pretty straightforward. After rooting, download GooManager from play store and choose "install OpenRecovery script". This will install TWRP 2.3.2.3. You can then download the newest TWRP from sidneyk's thread, but there seems to be an issue with the 2.7.0.3 version, so go for 2.7.0.1. Did all of this a couple of days ago, never had to connect to a computer.
I have a TF300TG, bootloader 10.6.2.11 unlocked with asus tool.
I have tried various TWRP-Versions including 2.6.0.0, 2.6.30, 2.8.5.0. and Kang TWRP 2.8.7.2
2.6.3.0 is not working since it cant mount anything
2.6.0.0, 2.8.5.0, Kang TWRP 2.8.7.2 are working but I have no access to the external sdcard also I have access to the card in the file manager after booting into JB 4.2.1
I would like to know if there is a version of TWRP wich allows me to access my external card and where to download it.
I would love to use it for Backup and recovery.
Thanks in advance for your help

Please try on your own risk "Kang TWRP [email protected]" https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347781183.
This TWRP is developed especially for TF300T. But it should work with TF33TG as well if you are on the boot loader of the last ASUS stock rom "Jelly Bean".
Thanks ebonit, but no change. No access to external sdcard in Twrp including TWRP File Manager, but access when bootet into JB.
However KangTWRP seems to work, but without access to sdcard. What strikes me is that I have access to the card once bootet into JB 4.2.1
Further hinds welcome
Looks like a very bad SD card, well formated and working in Windows and Android but NOT in TWRP. Problem is solved with new Card.
Thanks for your help.
