I've been running the Revolver ROM on my TF101 for quite a while now, and although I've been happy enough with it, I wanted to try out some others, but I have run into several problems.
1. I currently have ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4 installed. Whenever I reboot, it goes into CWM Recovery. To boot properly I need to hold the down-volume rocker when I power on, then select the cold boot option. How do I fix this?
2. ROM Manager told me I could upgrade the recovery image to 6.0.1.3, so I did, hoping it would fix the above problem. Now ROM Manager tells me I have 6.0.1.3, but when I boot into recovery, it greets me with a "5.5.0.4" banner - it doesn't seem to have changed, and I still can't boot properly without cold-booting. Why does ROM Manager think I've a newer version of Recovery than I appear to have? How do I update it? I tried installing GooManager, and it installed some OpenRecovery image, but I still get CWM 5.5.0.4 when I boot.
3. I tried installing (via ROM Manager) CyanogendMod 9, but when first booting it displays an animated logo, and gets stuck there (and by stuck, I mean I left it a good 10hrs overnight). I had to restore the backup of the old Revolver ROM to be able to boot again. Same thing happened when I tried the CyanogenMod 10 nightly. What do I need to do to get CyanogenMod installed?
First, there is this: [NOTICE] Don't use ROM Manager! **New to the Transformer? READ**
Honestly, just install GooManager. One installed, open, grant root, then tap the menu button in the top right corner. Install OpenRecovery Script. This will install Team Win Recovery Project.
It is far superior to CWM IMO. Then all your issues will go away.

I appreciate the input, but:
1. As I mentioned in the OP, I have already tried GooManager - it claims to install OpenRecovery, but it has no effect when I restart - I still get dumped into CWM recovery.
2. If I follow the link about "Don't use ROM Manager", it mentions RecoveryInstaller, but the link to that utility is broken, and I've been unable to locate a credible copy of it elsewhere.
UPDATE: I found a working link for RecoveryInstaller, installed and ran that, clicked the button to install recovery, then my tablet rebooted, straight into CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4 again.
No matter what I do I can't seem to get rid of CWMR5.5.0.4 ...
Oops, i missed the GooManager part. my bad.
Try EasyFlasher. Boot to APX mode and install Rogue Recovery (CWM based) or TWRP.

Thanks - that looks promising. It doesn't help that it's been 18 months since I last played around with flashing ROMs etc, so I've forgotten half the stuff I need to know!
Your EasyFlasher link says "Requrements: APX drivers" with a link to some recommended drivers, and I've installed those OK (eventually! - took me a while to figure out how, because I couldn't find sensible instructions, but I worked it out in the end).
So now I've managed to boot into TWRP (yay!) and have made a backup of everything.
And now it seems to boot normally. Fantastic! Now to see if I can install some other ROMS.
Thanks for the help!
Cool, glad it's working.
I am loving the TeamEOS4 4.2.1 ROM.
The ParanoidAndroid/CM10 hybrid by Mattmanwrx is my favorite 4.1 ROM. Many also like the LiquidSmooth 4.1 but I never tried that one.
heres what happened,
I went to install a CM rom. I rebooted to teamwin recovery and wiped data and cache. then I went to install the rom but accidentally hit reboot system. it rebooted to the stock rom and when it did, the touch screen wasn't working. I though "no biggy", and rebooted back to recovery. However, my touch recovery wasn't working anymore, the touch screen wouldn't work. after a couple of reboots and all that, (which didn't work), I tried to install cwm (non touch) via odin which worked fine. I rebooted into the new recovery, wiped, and installed the cm rom I had intended to install from the beginning. Rebooted it, and it rebooted to CM, but now the touch screen isn't working. at all.
Heres what I can and cant do
I can use my recovery since it isn't touch
cant get past the startup of any rom
would like to download the stock firmware if that would help, but whenever I try to do that, the download freezes at 2% so I cant do that
Cant think of anything else. Some help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT- I can use the s pen, so im able to navigate through the rom, and am currently on a stock rom.
This wont be hard to fix, use the note 10.1 toolkit to flash to stock.

See I tried that by when you go to download the firmware they send you to the hot file page to download it, which is the link that won't download it, gets stuck at 31% everytime. You wouldn't happen to know a reliable mirror for it would you?

Blank?
I'm flashing CWM on a SGS sch-i500 through odin , it flashes fine and I get a pass, unplug from PC insert battery, boot to CWM, nandroid backup, but when I reboot then power off, the next time it boots to stock recovery, what am I missing, I don't have any trouble on any of my other devices, feels like I'm having a blonde moment and its right under my nose. Trying to go from rooted stock to pacman, cm11, or the avatar rom, just in case I'm trying with the wrong CWM, I've tried following the old posts, rooted with framaroot, installed superuser, tried rom manager and goomanager to get cwm but they aren't working and none of the download links for most of the cwm and ROMs won't give me successful downloads. Any advice appreciated, thanks.
I rooted my phone so I could get MOAR apparently I do not know how to flash...I've read tons of articles and still can't get it to stick.
Can someone help me? I downloaded Philz but I can't flash that either.
Going into download mode then odin on my computer insrting md5 file on PDA and pressing start,
what am I doing wrong?
I keep getting "footer is wrong signature verification failed"

Man, sorry tool so long for someone to respond to ya....... Ok
So you got root, so that part is outta the way.
Now, you wanna make sure your booking into DL mode correctly. Do not use the power menu to do that. For the best result when using Odin, you want to Power Down the device completely, the Gold Volume Down + Home Button + Then Power. On the DL mode instruction screen tap Volume Up to boot into DL mode.
Now plug your phone into your PC, then open Odin. I use 3.07.
Now choose the file, let it load, then start. When flashing a recovery, stock rom, ect..... Just let your phone boot up
So that your already rooted, you should be using Philz recovery rich NE5, just cause twrp isn't working properly with restoring a Backup.
So....if you haven't gotten it by now, this should fix you up just fine.

You have a bad download. Use goo.im mirror.
http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/klte
Use latest, also check md5.
Then download the ROM, and check the md5.
Copy the rom to internal sd and check md5 again, you can use ES File Explorer for that.
Shutdown the phone. Now volume up + home + power.
Once in recovery, nandroid. Then wipe system and do a factory reset. You must be good to go.

yay finally got it!! you were right it was a bad download, got it and flashed via odin currently flashing MOAR (took 3 days to notice I had the wrong file) =(
When I tried to install Slimkat (a custom rom)and it failed, then when I tried to reboot and go out of recovery mode, it took me back to recovery mode. I can't even go into download mode, I can't turn my tablet off either, the only thing that happens when I hold the power button is it reboots. I have ClockworkMod Recovery on my tablet, and I am rooted. I do not know how I can get out of recovery mode (normally I would reboot it and I would be on my home screen). It would be great if someone told me how c:

And how do I do that? I only know how to re install firmware using Odin and being in download mode on my tablet, but I cant do that. I cant open install any apps either, its just stuck on the recovery screen. But I know that if I put a custom rom zip file on my sd card then I can install it in recovery mode but that is the whole reason why I am stuck in recovery mode in the first place D:

This is just a thought, don't know if this will work or not, but maybe you need to have a newer recovery version. What recovery are you using? I know that if the recovery is not current you cannot install the newest slimkat. Maybe you could download Phil's touch recovery and get it on your sdcard, flash that and then reboot recovery and try to flash the slimkat ROM again. It can't hurt as far as I can see. Just a thought, I never had this problem but that is what I would try if I was in your situation.

Just make sure you use the correct recovery for your device.
