Plz help

That's the stock recovery, not CWM.
You have to boot into bootloader mode then flash CWM recovery image from there. After flashing, select recovvery in the bootloader menu and you'll be in CWM.

Sounds like you did not remove /etc/install-recovery.sh if you've already flashed CWM and rooted.
This script is going to install the stock recovery image on each reboot. Boot up - remove / rename this file through root explorer or something similar (or adb if you like) and then reflash CWM either via fastboot or Rom Manager.

Root and install cwm recovery on Stock Firmware 9.2.1.17

Hello,
How can i root my transformer and install cwm recovery. I have the official firmware 9.2.1.17.
thanks

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494230
searching is good.

Thank you,
I will try to root my "TF101" with Vipermod, I read that it was the only one who could root version 9.2.1.17.
Can i use the recovery installer made by gnufabio to install CWM recovery after ?

True, you can use this tool (and remember to use option-1) and it will root you. I did the same with my TF101 build C1O and v9.2.1.17 ICS ROM and successfully rooted it.
However the real problem lies after that. I have been trying hard the whole day to find a relevant cwm recovery for my device but unsuccessful so far. This is what I have done:
1) Download and install CWM ROM Manager
2) Download latest CWM Recovery using ROM Manager
3) Try creating back ROM - doesn't work (the Manager simply doesn't do anything)
4) Try getting into recovery mode by a) power + vol down button, then within 5 seconds, b) vol up button.
===> All I see is a dead android logo with a red triangle and exclamation mark. Some suggest that this is due to device not rooted but my device IS rooted.
5) Download this cwm recovery done by this kind person, into SD card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563249
6) Try 4 - but the same output as 4.
I'm kind of stuck - don't know what to do! If it works with you, please let me know!
Thanks!

Worked !!
Root with viper mod --> OK
Install CWM recovery --> OK
Reboot in recovery --> KO
so i have used an application called reboot2recovery and after i can go in recovery mode...
Now i am ready to flash a new rom

same problem for me!
exactly the same but the solution with this "Reboot to recovery" apk doesn' work.
any ather help and solution??
thanx a lot!!

Are you talking about TF101? What version is it?
Did you download reboot2recovery from market?
TIA!

If you still have problems i can help, ihad the exact same problem as u all do at this point.........what you have to do to get to the recovery image is use an app called "Transformer reboot to Recovery" (HERE) with this app i was able to get to the recovery......i recommend flashing the touch version on cwm recovery so u dont mess up ur buttons (HERE)

Have you install CWM recovery?
The Android with ! is your stock recovery.
Use RecoveryInstaller to install CWM first.

[Resolved] Stuck at boot screen in recovery

I have a commtiva z71 variant- Videocon V7500 Evolve.
When I boot it in recovery it's stuck at the boot screen.
It's booting properly and is rooted to cm 7.1 (2.3.7).
I flashed cwm lot of times but no luck.:crying:
I am a new to android.
Please help!!!

So you can boot your phone normally, but you can't boot on recovery...hm and you said that you "flashed" CWM many times? Well then I'm going to give you an alternative way to install CWM recovery. So
1. Go in bootloop. Well I guess you know how but I will describe the way just in case. Bootloop is when the phone is on the loading screen with the hourglass. And to enter in bootloop usually (On my phone atleast) I have to hold down the "volume down" and the "End call button" Red one, and press the power up.
2. Connect your phone with your pc via usb.
3. Download the attached file below.
4. Extract the file you downloaded and navigate from pc in the "fastboot" folder. Double click the "install-recovery-windows.bat" file.
After doing these steps you should have CWM 5.0.2.7 ready to boot.

It's probably a bad flash, he needs to wipe/factory reset and then flash a rom again.

Thanks for your help I will try it and inform you asap.
Earlier it was working properly but suddenly it stopped.
Sorry for late reply
I have another question that the link that you gave me is of cwm 5.0.2.7 but my phone supports cwm 2.5.1.3.
Hope to look for a positive reply.
Thanks again

What do you mean by "supports" ?
Which version of recovery you should install on your phone just has to do with what Rom you want to install, or to be more accurate which version of android your ROM has.
So you should install your recovery mode depending on what you want.
1. AmonRA Recovery 1.6.2 - Link (for android 2.1)
2. V1.8.1.4 recovery - Link (For Android 2.2)
4. Recovery CMW Ascend - Link (For android 2.3+ )
5. Recovery 4.0.1.5 - Link (2.2-2.3+)
6. Recovery 5.0.2.3 - Link And instalation Link (for android 2.3+)
7. Recovery 5.0.2.6 - Link (For android 2.3+)
8. Recovery 5.0.2.7 - Link (For android 2.3+)
The example above is taken from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608000 In the second post.
So to be quick, there is no restriction on your recovery you can use whichever you need to.

You will need to install recovery. Dont forget to unlock your fasboot first.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710755 on how to do this.
After installing recovery you can boot into cwm.
Don't forget it is very risky flashing your A700. Everything you do is at your own risk. I bricked my tablet into locked fastboot mode once. Luckly i could unlock fastboot and reflash the boot image.

EasyRoot already installed CWM. You're ready to install the ROM of your choosing. Gullinbursti is a bit out of date with his information.

On Jellybean, it is not the same as it was in Ice Cream Sandwich. Be sure to do the following:
a. With system powered off, press and hold ‘Power’ and ‘Vol -‘
b. When the system vibrates, release the ‘Power’ button.
c. When the system vibrates a second time, slide your finger from ‘Vol-‘ to ‘Vol+.”
d. When the system vibrates a third time, release that button.

Yes phone booted in bootloader it say FAST BOOT & STATUS UNLOCKED, I can't enter in recoverymod, as I enter in recovery mod I get dead android with red ! mark.
When I purchased this phone (a few days back) I had Gingerbread, I updated it n due to low signals (I think) ICS installed properly but when it came to installing applications it got hanged, now I can't run applications properly as it reboot if I try to open any application.
I again try to update it from wifi from ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.1 ( As new update was available) but after complete download of JB when it started to installing I got that dead android sign with RED ! mark.
Do you have any idea what happened wrong?

You don't have a recovery and need to flash one using the toolkit..
1. DOWNLOAD CUSTOM RECOVERY... 2. OPEN TOOLKIT.. ADVANCED MENU/BOOT RECOVERY (this is only temporary) 3. CHANGE SCREEN SETTINGS TO ZERO (or the screen will go black and it's a pain) 4. MOUNT USB... 5. COPY RECOVERY ZIP FROM COMPUTER TO PHONE.. 6. USE RECOVERY TO INSTALL FROM SD / FLASH THE RECOVERY YOU COPIED.. 7. ENJOY YOUR CUSTOM RECOVERY..

Please guide me a little bit details as I'm new user of Nexus S & Thanks in advance..
You said install custom recovery right? now I have downloaded 2 files for Clockworkmod recovery 6.x.x.x. one is in .ZIP format & other is in .img format. Now the question is
1). Do I have to flash recovery by using this advance option of Nexus Root Tool Kit by clicking on FLASH PERMANENT & then clicking on recovery & then giving the path of CMW 6.x.x.x.IMG and then after giving the path clicking on ROOT & checking the "And also flash custom recovery" option?
2). Can I install .ZIP file CWM 6.x.x.x.ZIP by just putting it into the SD card of Nexus S, turning the phone on into RECOVERY mode and the selecting INSTALL .ZIP from SD card (Something like this) then locating CWM 6.x.x.x.ZIP & it will install it automatically?
I installed CWM recovery in my Samsung Galaxy Gio a year back & then installed Cyanogenmod in that phone but I have forgot the procedure but I think I did it like I entered into recovery mode by pressing some buttons & then install zip from SD (I think I did like this but not sure).
P.S: I can enter into recovery when I see DEAD ANDROID with RED ! then I press volume up + power button 2 times then it shows me stock recovery.
One last thing to ask, you said CHANGE SCREEN SETTING TO ZERO? What does it means? Screen setting of Laptop or Mobile (Brightness or what?)
Thank you very much for your support :highfive:

Option 2.. flash recovery zip... The screen setting is in the temporary recovery.. If it times out the screen will go black and you will have to use the Toolkit to reboot your phone.. If you use the recovery in my signature, it has usb mounting support.. other CWM's may not..

One more question just to conform something, can I use this Philz Touch 5.06.1 (Latest) on my STOCK ROM? I'm having ICS 4.0.4 build number IMM76D, can I flash this recovery? I have remember the old days when I flashed CWM in my Samsung Galaxy Gio, they had 4 types of CWM. One was for some RAW disk format, another was for EXT4 (Something like that).
Can I install it for I.C.S 4.0.4? Do I have to root my Nexus S I9023 after that or is it already rooted? that UNLOCK means my phone is rooted? What about the Super user application? DO I have to install in separately? Can I install Cyanogenmod after install this recovery or should I have to install Super user before installing Cyanogenmod? I have remember when I install Cyanogenmod on my Galaxy Gio, the Super User was already there..
Lots of questions for you again but these are just to conform that I'm leading towards right direction, please answer so that I must start flashing Philz Touch 5.06.1.
