[Q] Boot loop & TWRD ask password after flashing ROM - Asus Transformer TF700

I successfully flashed CROMi-X DEODEX 5.2.4 with Data2SD (TWRD 2.6.3.1) to my TF700T a few days before. (Following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425383
I split my 16GB MicroSD into 4GB FAT32 and 10GB EXT4)
After I installed some apps and enjoy the speedy system, I booted into TWRD again..
But I do nothing and reboot my tablet…. Boot loop is happened! I really don’t know why… I haven’t do anything…
I tried to clear cache, adb such method but can’t solve the problem..
So I install TWRD again, as I saw a new version 2.6.3.2.
Then I wipe “data,cache and Dalvik”(At ”Wipe”>”Format Data”)
And install CROMi-X DEODEX 5.3 with Data2SD again
However, Boot loop is still existed ! Why…………… I has already flash the rom again!
Then I enter TWRD and click “Wipe”>”Format Data” to clear “data,cache and Dalvik” again… but It stopped at “Formatting data using make_ext4fs function” a hour….
So I force reboot the tablet and enter TWRD, but TWRD show “Please Enter Your Password”, TWRD ask me the password but I haven’t set it before!
If I click cancel, Internal Storage show 0MB and Micro SD card show 4MB (Which is the size of FAT32)…
Then I can do nothing………I am very depressing now…. Anyone can help me…. please….

Careful

but how can I get the following files for NVFlash?
blob.bin

Solved!
I download Asus Stock firmware and then extract "blob" to fastboot folder,
run the command:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
Then my tablet woke up!! Thanks!!
However... which version CROM-X and TWRD is stable? I think i need to flash TWRD and CROM-X again..
I want to use data2sd, and install Data2SD add-on (data2sd-jb42-intmedia-that1.zip) to let Internal Storage show at PC

[Q] How do I install stock recovery on my SBKv2 TF101?

Hello,
I flashed CWM on my tablet but it is encrypted. I need to decrypt it to be able to flash new ROMs. The problem is that I cant wipe it with CWM because of the encryption .
Where can I find the stock recovery for my WW B80 TF101 with stock ICS ?
I did find a US recovery for Honeycomb on the Unlockr, but I'm not sure if that would work.
I can't use NVFlash since it's SBKv2 either .
I'd appreciate any help I can get on this. Thanks for a great forum, I've had a lot of help here before with my old Windows Phones .

What version of CWM recovery do you have and how did you flash it?
The stock recovery from the unlocker.com need to be flash via CWM, since you say you can't use your CWM that's useless.
Have you tried installing a different CWM recovery?
Here you can find Roach's 3.2.0.1 and Team Rouge CWM recovery.
(both are install via RecoveryInstaller)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22359727&postcount=218
What do you mean by "encrypted"?
What are the errors you see when you try to wipe data on this device?
What is the CWM version you are using?
Perhaps someone will correct me, but a properly installed recovery does not care about data encryption to be able to format the partition (i.e. wipe). Stock recovery will not help in this. It will simply remove all the useful commands and interfaces and show a nice picture of a dead droid.
I can flash things trough CWM but CWM cant see the sdcard since its encrypted trough honeycomb/ics builtin encryption setting. If I find the right recovery I would be able to flash it . If I try to factory reset from settings it does absolutely nothing since it tries to boot into stock recovery . Factory reset from cwm does nothing since cwm cant touch the encrypted sdcard .
I've read that no CWM can touch the encrypted partition since it doesnt have the password. Only stock recovery can wipe an encrypted tablet. Other than my cwm cant wipe encrypted tablets it works fine for me. I can flash other roms but they are completely useless since they cant read my encrypted drive.
Does someone know if it matters if I use the US recovery for honeycomb? Or where I can find the recovery for tf101 ics ww.
Ps . Im sorry if this post seems like a mess, I'm really tired and my soft keyboard sucks.
your only choice in your case is if it's CWM 3.2.0.1 is to take your SD card out of your tablet use a card reader and FORMAT your Card FAT32 then save the roms you want to it then boot back in to CWM and it will see them after that
if you have the newer CWM with the Blue controls is Will not use the MicroSD CARD
is uses Onboard Memory and your going to need to some how get ADB to see it.
install android dev kit and send a few commands so CWM can see the microSD card. it's very much like fixing recovery bootloop.
i know your pain i own B50 (SBkv1) B70 & B80 (both SBKv2) and a prime
Did you try the team eos superwipe?
Also I think he is talking about the internal sd and not the micro.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
ok here is what i did for my boot loop i did to figure this one out with encryption on
only Do this IF you have ADB working
Get in to Recovery and Format your Partations Then reboot to recovery a 2nd time
and do a adb push i pushed (Team Rouge CWM Recovery) But in your Case
pushing TF101 Rooted Stock 9.2.1.17 + bootloader + modded recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552303
Might be best as it will fix and problems your having with recovery and switch it back to the MicroSD Card Slot for ROMS
after trying it i think i will Stick with TeamRouge Recovery
lots of guides around on how to setup ADB

What version of CWM do you have? If it's the 5.5.0.4 than it only read from the internal SD.

He means the internal mmc (the location of /data).
@rodstrom, if I understand you correctly, you are saying that once you encrypted your tablet (through an option in the security settings), you cannot wipe /data (or factory reset) through normal options in CWM or another recovery. You think that the only way to wipe data on an encrypted /data partition is through a stock recovery. Correct?
That sounds weird to me, but I have read similar comments in other places. If this is true, then the "encrypt tablet" option is a danger.
Have you tried to format /data using the CWM's "mounts and storage" menu? What was the result?
Have you tried what @Dreamboxuser suggested: the superwipe?
Can you try to format using adb commandline while in CWM?
feisty_noodle exactly!
I can't wipe from settings since it tries to reboot into stock recovery . And I can't wipe from CWM since the eMMC is inaccessible because of the encryption .
From CWMs "Mounts and storage" I am unable to format /data since it is inaccessible . It says something like that it cant read it...
I have not heard of the superwipe, but I'll have to google it. I haven't tried formatting through adb yet, but I'm not sure if that would help.
I'm pretty convinced that I need the stock recovery to wipe the eMMC .

OK, I misunderstood.
@rodstrom
The SuperWipe can be found in Revolution ROM thread.
Becareful using it, if you have a CWM version that read internal only such as 5.5.0.4, it will wipe all you files. I suggest using Roach's 3.2.0.1 or Team Rouge recovery if you're going to use SuperWipe script.
I had the Team Rouge recovery earlier. Although now I have 5.5 something and I can't do anything at all with it . How do I install Team Rouge again ? I tried the modded RecoveryInstaller but nothing happened , just a reboot .
Also I have to cold boot everytime it has turned off . I really need to change my recovery now , if not to stock then at least to something else than 5.5...
Bump,
I'm in trouble here, I have CWM 5.5.0.8 which can't read my external MicroSD, nor read my encrypted internal SD.
I can't flash anything now... What can I do? Is adb an option?
If I can't find my stock recovery I would at least like to have a useful recovery which can read my external MicroSD so I can do something at all.

This member was successful in mounting his external sd with adb shell
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24007127
Hi again!
I'm back and I have tried to follow the post you linked. The problem now is that I can't seem to connect with adb when the device is in recovery mode. Adb works perfectly when booted normally though.
To mount trough adb in recovery mode seems to be exactly what I need, so if I can get adb running in CWM I believe this would be solved.
Maybe another possibility could be to change the mounts in CWM's init.rc before I reboot to CWM, but I don't know if it is possible, or where that file would be. What do you think?
restore stock recovery
I have a rooted TF101 with stock ROM and cwm recovery. I would like to restore stock recovery and keep the other things as is so that I can do OTA when its available. After did may search, I finally found a way and restored stock recovery
successfylly. I would like to sharte my experience with you:
1. The stock recovery is "8239USrecovery.zip". The file name is kind of misleading, but it actaully is a universal
stock recovery for TF101. See "Asus Transformer EPIC NOOB GUIDE."(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494230)
2. The cwm 5504 as from market app "ROM MANAGER" has a "boot into recovery loop" bug. I changed to roach's cwm version
by
2.1 boot into cwm recovery and flash cwm_recovery-5504_roach-tf101-r2.zip.
2.2 cold boot, use terminal emulator to issue
su
echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0
2.3 reboot
3. boot into cwm recovery (roach's version), flash 8239USrecovery.zip and then reboot.
After reboot, cwm is gone.
I can't flash anything at all though, because of 5.5.0.4 only reading the internal sdcard which is encrypted.
If I could get adb working in CWM I could mount the external microsd and flash things again.
Is there any possibility to change CWM's mountpoints from within Android OS?

Tf101 Installing EOS stuck on "Installing update..."

Hi, i have Team EOS rom on my tf101 and it has been working without any problem. But today it stuck on EOS logo when boots. I enter on cwm (version 5.0.2.8) and do a wipe (factory settings / cache / dalvik and format /system) and try to install the EOS rom again but it stucks on "Installing update..." I have tried several times with the same result. I tried KatKiss 4.2.2_225 from sdcard with the same result.
Any help thanks.

I would HIGHLY recommend updating to TWRP.
If you can flash from the microSD, grab a flashable zip file like 2.6.1.0 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434422
If not, you can push the TWRP zip file to the /sdcard/ using adb and flash that.
A last option is to use EasyFlasher to install it using APX mode. I have repacked easyflasher with newer recoveries here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43986513&postcount=250
In my experience, many users have had big issues (myself included) trying to use CWM and anything beyond Android 4.1.X ROMs on the TF101. TWRP has far fewer issues and it can flash from both internal and external storage.

I would use the TWRP 2.6.0.0 repacked EasyFlasher and then just install recovery (select the TWRP 2.2.0 from the dropdown and it WILL install 2.6.0.0).
I have a detailed guide here: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...t/31927-frederuco-s-guide-root-rom-tf101.html
Hi Fred, thanks for you guides. I have following it and i have TWRP installed, i have booted in recovery mode and when i install EOS rom the progress bar remains stuck, move for 1 second , stuck again and move a bit again and i don't know if this is normal, how much time i have to wait....Any hint?
Thanks in advance
I forget it. When i did the wipe i get an "Unable to mount /system" Is this normal? May be i have not enough space for the update?

Hmmm....thats not good.
It could be that your internal storage has a personal issue. I would try using EasyFlasher to flash back to stock. Just download the update from Asus, put it in the "asusupdate" folder of EasyFlasher. Do not unzip the file at all.
Instead of installing TWRP, flash stock. See if that boots.
If it does, then flash TWRP again and see if you get the same system error.

[Q] Corupted ssd disc/mmcblk0boot0 + mmcblk0boot1?

Hi Team,
It seems that after 1 year of using TF700 64GB, ssd disc is corupted.
I had installed CWM+CM 10.2 stable, but system has lags and has a problem with booting (2 sucess from 5 times?). I try to make new installation via CWM (+factory reset/wipe dalvik cache).First problem was with mounting \System, \Cache...factory reset was unsuccessful...its possible that i used factory reset in menu after going to recovery menu too...
Recovery mode CWM is still functional, i can change recovery via fastboot to TWRP without problems, but there is bootloop....
Android system doesnt want startup...
Im looking for dump of bootpartitions mmcblk0boot0 + mmcblk0boot1 (images of these partitions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274333) - or any advices to resolve my problem.
Unfortunately, i can not dump these 2 partitions from non rooted tablet and i havent any unlocked/rooted....
Thanks in advance for any helpful reply!

I sounds as if you are on the wrong bootloader. For CM 10.2 you have to be on a 10.6.1.14.4 or later bootloader. What's your version?
And the quoted sentence leaves me scratching my head: Which recovery do you have installed: CWM or TWRP? You can't have both..... Also post which version.
You probably have to
- flash bootloader and recovery in fastboot
- at least wipe, maybe format your /data partition in recovery
- flash the rom

Now i using TWRP. Before this bootloop/android starting problem i had CWM. TWRP i flashed later via faastboot.
Tablet worked with CM 10.2 without problems a few days, so i suppose that bootloader version was correct...
My friend, which helping me resolve this said, that from ADB console this 2 partitions are unreadable...
therefore advised me to obtain images this hidden bootpartitions from the same type of TF700...
thx!
Not sure what or why your friend is suggesting, but I'd try formatting data from inside twrp first.
You still haven't said what versions you are using so we are guessing when trying to help you.

I did. I have searched everywhere for TWRP 2.6.3.1 and 2.6.3.2 for the TF300T and i cant find it. 10+ hours. Do i have to download it for a different Model such as the TF700T? TWRP its self only lists 2.6.3.0 for the TF300T.

Can you open the TWRP 2.6.3.2 zip file on your PC before you copy it to your tablet? If you open it and get errors then the file might be corrupt, if it opens correctly then that's not the problem. Are you doing this in Windows? If you do get errors when trying to open the zip try downloading it again to a different place on Windows. I don't know how many times I have downloaded a zip file more than once and Windows always finds it corrupt. Then try opening it again. Let me know and we'll go from there.

Do you have an sdcard or are you putting in on internal card? First, try opening the zip file that you put on your tablet to make sure it's not corrupt. Then if it opens okay, put it on sdcard or vice versa from where you put it originally. So the version of TWRP you have now that's working is which version? And what error message are you getting when you try flashing the new TWRP?

I tried it on both the Internal and external sd card. thinking it may have been unmounting the card during instillation. I didnt try to open it on the tablet threw the file manager yet. Right now i have TWRP 2.6.3.0 running i got the Blob straight from TWRP for the TF300T I Fastbooted it onto the tablet. I do not remember the error message right now and the tablet is at my house i will have to look tonight.

Have you tried fastbooting the TWRP 2.6.3.2 recovery image instead of flashing it?

I have not tried that yet. Do i use the same code to fastboot an image as a blob file?
"fastboot -i oxobo5 flash recovery"
instead of "fastboot -i oxobo5 flash recovery twrp.blob"

Thank you for your help i'll try this when i get back to my house tonight.
Oh one other question will this get rid of any backup that i have created with TWRP already?
Hopefully this works I will let you know because i'm sure others have had this problem and given up. This may be a work around for now.

I don't think it will unless you were to delete the backups from your internal card. To be safe, which is what I do, put a copy of your backups on your PC first. And make sure you keep the exact folder names or they won't restore. For instance if your backups are under "/TWRP/BACKUPS/015d46d9242bf407/name of back" make sure they are put back in those folders especially the 015d46d9242bf407 or whatever yours are named. In fact I was told to make a backup of the current 4.2 rom in TWRP 2.6.3.0 recovery, put on the new TWRP 2.6.3.2 recovery, boot back into 2.6.3.2 recovery, make another backup of your current 4.2 rom and then flash the new 4.4.2 rom. Always keep copies of your backups and recoveries on your PC.

I know the tf700t has twrp 2.6.3.2 for it will that work if i download that one the tablets are almost the same? or know where i can get that version from someone? I had herd that the newest CWM works but i am not a fan of that recovery.

Go here and download PhilZ Touch Recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597860 and try flashing that with the TWRP 2.6.3.0 recovery. If that doesn't work then we may have to get some bigger guns on this problem.

I fastbooted the CWM recovery and once that loaded up I was able to load the TWRP 2.6.3.2 zip without a problem. Figured id try that just to make it easier to reload existing backups. First i tried the CM 11 Nightly which was fast but very buggy typing was almost impossible. I had to load the new nightly Omnirom and the Home made rom onto the sd card. Then i tried to load the nightly Omnirom which wouldn't load so i tried the Home made one. That loaded without a problem. Didn't get to play with it much but definitely much faster than the old 4.2.1. I Dont know why the Nightly one wouldn't load tried 2 different downloads with no luck. Do i need to download this file also (omni-4.4.2-20140312-tf300t-NIGHTLY.zip.md5sum)? But i finally have 4.4.2 so its a good start. :good:

HELP!My tab got stuck in twrp 3.0

I was thinking of flashing the new marshmallow rom but it didnt work in CWm.So i flashed twrp 3.0.Afterwards i tried to do a factory reset but it gave some Error messages something like "Cannot mount.failed".Then i restarted the tab and again entered the recovery and found that Internal storage was 0mb.
Afterwards i popped in a sd card with the rom.But it still couldnt flash it and was stuck in the cyan boot screen.I thought that twrp 2.8 would work so i flashed the img file.It said it was successful.Then,i restarted and now when i enter the recovery it says error loading recovery its now stuck in that cyan boot screen and i cannot even enter in recovery mode.
What can i do?Please help.
Are u able to boot Android?
I would recommend you flash the stock blob in fastboot and start over from scratch.
That's called a buster99 and the instructions are here:

You use the TF700 stock blob naturally, he did this on a 300 but it works just the same on this tablet.
