Okay before I start I know this was really dumb of me to do. I wiped everything in my phone/sd card because something was taking up a lot space and I couldn't figure out why, so i have no roms installed at all. there's no OS running in my phone at all. I have TWRP recovery installed but I can't mount it to my computer to get a rom onto it. Any solutions???? I don't Mind going back to stock, I just need my phone back.

You need to get cwm recovery, then get a usb otg cable, and flash the from from your flash drive. You have to use cwm because I don't think twrp supports usb otg

Thanks for your reply, In CWM i get "E: Can't mount"....i'm guessing because I have absolutely nothing on my SD card and phone...I can't mount USB storage or anything =/

You need to use adb sideload. You connect it to the computer with bootloader mode on, go to your platform tools file on your computer in the android adb file, shift+right click, hit open command window here, connect phone, type fastboot flash recovery, then whatever the name of the recovery img is. And I forgot to mention that you need to have the recovery img file in the adb folder. Hope this helps

You won't find adb.exe or fastboot.exe there unless you run the setup for the SDK.
If you are not interested in setting up the SDK, I recommend you just use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790.
Also, I'm using CWM v6.0.4.7, and ADB works. I don't need to sideload anything.
I just do adb push xxxxx.zip to /sdcard/0/xxxx
Good luck!

I flashed eos-tf101-20130704-121, and it does not boot. I've tried several times, and I made sure to wipe the system, cache, etc. why is it not working?
also, how do I get into download mode?
That's an ancient build of a dead ROM project
KatKiss is the new EOS

Unfortunately, I don't have a spare sd card, and I can't seem to get download mode to work, so I was hoping I could install the ROM update, and install KatKiss. I am working on getting KatKiss though!

Im going to guess that you have CWM Recovery installed ?
If yes, that is likely the reason for it not booting
You'll need to put the TF into APX Mode (Volume up & Power while connected to the PC > USB)
Nothing will appear on the TF screen, but the PC should recognise it
Follow the instructions here to get TWRP Recovery installed instead

You need adb from the Android SDK. I have a zip of the files you need here: http://db.tt/b9dQ6xzp
Unzip these to c:\adb\
Plug your tablet in using the USB cable. Your computer should detect a new device. Update the driver with the Naked Drivers 0.72 ADB driver found in the Dev forum (I think it is on page 2 of threads). If you are running Win 8, there are some extra steps to allow you to use this driver.
Once your devices shows in the device manager as an ADB device, open a command prompt and type the following:
Code:
c:
cd c:\adb
adb devices
At this point, it will probably restart the daemon and then it should show a recovery device. If it does, you can proceed. If not, check that your cable is good, and that an ADB device is showing in the device manager.
Grab the ROM of choice and any GAPPS and kernel that you want to move over to your device. Put them in the c:\adb folder. They will be referred to a ROM.zip, GAPPS.zip and kernel.zip going forward.
Execute the following:
Code:
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/
adb push GAPPS.zip /sdcard/
adb push kernel.zip /sdcard/
Note there is a space between the zip and the /sdcard/. If you omit this space it will not work.
After each time the "adb push" is executed, it may take up to 10 minutes to push the file depending on how big it is. Just be patient until it says it was pushed successfully.
Once this is done, you should see these files in the internal memory of your device when in recovery.
thanks! got it to work.

Not whilst adb puhsing, no.
If you were fastboot flashing something like a bootloader or radio and disconnected it during teh flash, you could brick your device - but you're not doing that.
adb push is just copying files from your PC to your device.
lets say you have rom.zip on your computer c drive
Code:
adb push c:\rom.zip /sdcard
is all you'd need to do.
Dear All,
I own a Asus EeePad Transformer TF101 tablet. I have accidentally bricked my tablet (wiped out the Android operating system) whilst attempted to upgrade to Android 4.4.
I have contacted various IT Repair services, but they have been unable to repair the tablet. It is regrettable that the tablet cannot currently be repaired because it is a lovely machine.
Please could you let me know if there are any Android experts who can help me? Your support is much appreciated.
Best,
Stephen Tang

Ok so there might be a problem with the sdcard reader or maybe with the recovery. But anyway you should be able to use adb to push a rom to your transformer when booted in recovery mode.

Even easier you could use adb to push the newest twrp and use the built-in MTP function so you could see your tablet as a Storage device on windows, then drag and drop a rom to your internal storage and flash it.
So make sure you have all you drivers installed for the tf101 on your computer
download and install "minimal adb and fastboot"
download twrp 2.8.1.1 and save it in the same folder where you have installed minimal adb and fastboot"
Boot your phone in CWM recovery
In the folder where you have installed minimal adb and fastboot, hold left SHIFT and right click a blank space in that folder, select "open a command prompt here".
in the command prompt, type:
Code:
adb devices
you should see an output like this
Code:
List of devices attached
(your tf101 serial number) recovery
If yes then proceed with the next step, if no, post back here.
in the command prompt, type this:
Code:
adb push signed_twrp-2.8.1.1_tf101.zip /sdcard
and wait for the output, something like
Code:
1330 KB/s (5215688 bytes in 3.828s)
then in cwm, select "install zip from sdcard" and navigate to find "signed_twrp-2.8.1.1_tf101.zip" and install it.
then power off your tablet and reboot in recovery mode again, but this time you should boot in TWRP 2.8.1.1
when booted in recovery (TWRP) You should see your tablet as a storage device in windows, so all you need to do from there is to drag n drop a rom like this one to your device in windows and install it using twrp.

Well all you need to do is to push a rom to your tablet using adb, which should be done when booted in recovery mode. Don't even need to use an sdcard. I don't have any other ideas except finding another IT or a friend that know how to use ADB. Or you could send it to me but im near Montreal so I don't think it will worth it vs shipping cost.
Btw im using this method to flash roms on my gf's transformer without issue (the sd card port is damaged so I can't use sd cards)
Thanks for the prompt response. So the Repair Man should follow through steps 1-7. What happens at Step 8? Is this where he would push a ROM to the tablet using ADB - instead of using CWM?
Hi,
I did an advanced wipe wiping everything - Dalvik cache, system, data, internal storage and cache.
Now, when I try to reboot, it says no OS and keeps bringing me back to TWRP. I tried the install feature but looks like there's no file in it either. My PC does not detect my phone as a hardware I think as when I tried to copy the ZIP file to it using another post which I'm not allowed to post here, the cmd commands for adb and mkdir were not recognized.
Can someone please help me salvage my phone?
In case any more details are required about the phone, happy to provide.

Go to Device management, you'll find the android composite device there. Change the driver to MTP device.
you can also try using adb sideloas
I assume you use Windows? It's probably just a driver issue. I always install official Google Android SDK, which contains proper USB drivers. Once you install it, your phone should be recognized by PC, while in TWRP.

You need to add path to adb.exe to Windows PATH variable, then reboot and cmd should recognize adb commands, or you can just navigate to folder with adb.exe in cmd. Then check if adb can see your device, if it does, then just do adb sideload of ROM, and flash your ROM in TWRP.
If it's all too complicated, just return to stock using instructions from Google factory image website.
Put a rom on a flash drive, and connect it to your phone. In TWRP, go into "Mount" options, mount the flash drive (cant remember the exact wording), and then...can't remember quite vividly how, but it's easy from there to navigate inside your flash drive and install the rom.
REMEMBER: the flash drive should be formatted in FAT32 for TWRP to recognize it.
Hi Guys, I just want to ask if there will be a possible solution on how I will be able to use my phone again. I accidentally deleted the OS and the backup of my OS.

Since you've adb drivers installed,boot into twrp,go to advanced and enable adb sideload,connect to PC.Copy the ROM zip in your adb folder(where adb files are situated),press shift and simultaneously hit right button on your mouse,select open cmd here.Now write command "adb devices"(obviously without quotes), if all goes well,you'll see your device Id there,proceed and write command "adb sideload ROM name.zip" (where ROM name= exact name of file you're trying to flash).The flashing progress should start now.
