[Q] Install CWM or unroot

I'm trying to install cwm or unroot my device so i can get the FOTA update installed but I haven't been successful
-NVflash doesn't work coz my transformer is B90
-using the recovery installer.apk gives me "problem praising the package"
-Installing cwm itself, gives me install successfully but I cant boot into recovery( I used the reboot into recovery app and volume +power)
-I tried installing a recovery touch .img using adb it didn't work(I couldn't get the device into fastboot
I'v been going at for 2 days now, this 5th device to root and use custom Rom's for but I m really stuck on this one. what I might be doing wrong, any help is appreciated. thanks

What firmware are you on?
"parsing error" is usually a bad download or not compatible with your firmware.

its
HRI66.us_epad-8.2.3.13-20110511
kernel 2.6.36.3

Yeah that's a pretty old firmware.
What method did you use to root it?

no luck with that one. I'm gonna try it again tomorrow on a diff pc.
the asus auto update fails every time I ran it, is that because of the device being rooted?

Root only should be ok for ota update.
If you have custom recovery or delete any system apps ota update will fail

When I run the auto update it freezez and I have to erase the data and bypass linux boot or something like that, that's why Im trying to get cwm or unroot, i hate beeng stuck on this firmware.

Do you have stock recovery? I also noticed you said +volume, It is -volume to get into recovery, just to confirm/make sure. If you have stock recovery you can try pushing an update.zip and using that, then flashing cwm on that updated firmware.

Stock Recovery Image for CWM

Ok people, in the interest of making a new recovery for the A701, I need a stock recovery image from a JB build.
Right now, there are way too many versions of CWM, mostly for the A700.
If you have JB installed, "and" unlocked bootloader, you need to fastboot my full ADB R/W boot.img from here; This will allow ADB commands.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934056
NOTE: If you have "some" version of CWM installed, don't try. I need a "stock" Recovery image.
Commands are as follows via ADB:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/SOS of=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img
adb pull /sdcard/stock-recovery.img
adb shell rm /sdcard/stock-recovery.img
MD

if you apply the latest OTA Update an let the Recovery be Restored, than you´ve got the Stock Recovery back.
After that you can dump it
or am i wrong?

The problem, is that I have a CWM installed on JB. But, it doesn;t work on the 701 for installing the latest 701 update. Even after modifying the installer script.
Unless I am missing something Meir, so if I am, please tell me.
Want to try installing with a stock recovery. So far, the update fails using CWM. Did you use a different Version of CWM? Too many versions to keep track of.
Which is why I need a stock recovery of 701 JB.

How are you trying to install it? Recoveries are installed by bootloader and should be in the same directory as 'fastboot.exe'.
Also have you made sure you've got the right recovery for you boot loader version (ICS, JB or 4.2)?

Have you every upgraded your tablet to 4.2? If so DO NOT flash that recovery. It will brick your device.

If you look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845377
In Part 3, that explains how to flash recovery.
I personally wouldn't downgrade TWRP, is there a reason you want to downgrade?

I was upgrade to 4.2 JB Stock
How Can I get starts normal System?

What do you mean by 'normal system'?
Again DO NOT flash that recovery.
You've got a 4.2 bootloader, but that recovery is for 4.1. If you apply it you WILL brick your device.

I haveCustom ROm with 4.1 and want to install another Rom with 4.2
I was install JB 4.2 from Asus page and Recovery : openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300tg-JB.blob
And that TWRP didnt recognize SDcard. I was wipe data and my Asus still starts to recovery.
When I adb reboot to bootloader and push OS its starts normal to OS.
I want to restore to normal boot to JB 4.2, how Can I do it?

Whilst you're on Android 4.1, you can flash openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300tg-JB.blob
But once you've upgraded to Android 4.2 from ASUS you must use recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300tg-4.2.blob

Unfortunately I can't help you with why the SD Card didn't get recognised. I'm sure someone else will help.
There are guides around on this forum; rather than flashing the official ASUS update via recovery, it can also be done by bootloader. I think it involves 'system.blob' to be pushed to the device, and the update ZIP file to be on the /sdcard/ directory.

I was install by fastboot recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300tg-4.2.blob but it still not recognize sdcard internal and external, why?
I was install SW from Asus page by fastboot and fastboot bootloader.
Device starts only to TWRP. I didnt know why?
When i boot device to bootloader and push system Android, it starts normal to OS and work good.

You can try. You must be on 10.6.1.15 or above to flash the kitkat zip though.

Try:
Code:
nvflash --create
This will repartition and format everything back to stock. I think you will have to flash the stock ROM after that but I'm not sure how?

[Q] Signature verification failed OTA Lollipop

I just got the OTA Update to Lollipop
and after i download the files, i press the install and reboot,then my nexus goes to recovery mode (CWM 6)
and then there appears :
. . . (theres still some description)
E:signature verification failed
then i just reboot and get my nexus still on 4.4
im actually forget which ROM im using right now
but in settings , it is KTU84P
FYI : I just unrooted this devices and this happened too when i was trying to upgrade with Nexus Update Checker.
Please help me guys

you need to be STOCK for OTA to work. Custom recovery, custom rom, any modifications to system etc will all prevent OTA from working.

how to make it sure/check it , that im using stock ROM or not
and how to uninstall CWM ?

Flash stock recovery and did you make any modifications to stock ROM or flash a custom ROM? If so you need to undo all mods and replace anything you removed that is part of system, or just install stock.

I'm having the same problem, I had already flashed /system and /boot back to stock, just didn't flash recovery (because it wasn't needed before on KK), now I've flashed everything back to stock, but now it says "system up to date" how do i solve this now? I did grab the ota zip, so maybe i can force it to flash with that zip on the stock recovery?

Yeah, download ota file and sideload it, otherwise you're waiting for the ota to become available to you again via download on device.

Use cmd prompt to use adb. You'll need android SDK if you don't have it. Navigate in cmd where your adb is (also have your update.zip in that directory). Run adb and then adb reboot boot loader, wait for boot loader, on device go to recovery. Once recovery is up, press vol up while holding power to access menu, go to apply update from adb then back in cmd run adb sideload update.zip

check out the toolkit from wugfresh, that might be the easiest way for you if you don't know what you're doing... maybe take some notes so that you do remember what you're doing for future.
