Hello,
I tried upgrading CWM via ROM Manager...and can confirm: It dont work
If I try to go to CWM, equal how (Software or Hardwarebuttons) he says starting CWM and nothing happens. Only way is to boot with Vol+.
Also failt install CWM via apk.
Only way I can imagine is to flash a old rom with CWM, maybe honecomb, via MicroSD? Any working link to such a old rom? And how to flash?
Thank you in advance.

You say you lost cwm, so how are you going to flash an older rom via cwm?
Team Rouge has an nvflash version of their recovery or try RecoveryInstaller
Rom manager is bad news for the tf101, please don't use it in the future.
To fix this (Run in an adb-shell on a computer or terminal emulator on the device, if you can boot, I hope you still have root.)
Download any cwm-flashable recovery. Extract the recoveryblob file out of the zip and place it on your tf, via mass storage or ADB (I recommend rouge)
Then run these commands in term em or adb shell
Code:
su
dd if=/your/blob/here of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 (Please note the your/blob/here part, you need to type the path of where you placed your recoveryblob here)
reboot
Should get you backing into a non-borked recovery.

****. It dont work.
Have read about it. But you had give me the way to try.
Have tested Rouge and Rouch recoveryblob.
Both the same.
su (Grant)
dd if=/Removable/MicroSD/recoveryblob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
Gives me:
8984+1 records in
8984+1 records out

Looks all fine in my eyes. (I'm DOS-Windows, not Linux)

Via and with are the same... xD pointless from here.
Last step is to try to reflash the bootloader EBT partition and see if that's the issue, since your recovery flashed fine.
If not, NvFlash here you come!

Ok. How do I do that?
Blobunpack a stock OTA from asus's site,
then take the .EBT rename it to blob with no extension and use the same command to flash it.

I think the best way now is to go back to stock.
Same way use NVflash to flash full firmware and start again rooting and installing CWM...

Agree with you. But then I need a link to a easy rootable firmware (up to 8.6.6.19 for Razorclaw) and a short description how to flash.
Try my PERI one-click, it should install recovery and walk you through rooting just fine, if you can boot into android. If not just flash the latest OTA completely (Everything including ebt) should fix any recovery and bootloader problems. Then you can run PERI and it will install recovery and root for sure. If you want
I think I going to be crasy, because 3 days later and no sucsess
to sum up:
1. Gnufabio's RecoveryInstaller.apk
work, reboot, stuck, Power&Vol-, Vol+ stuck at booting recovery kernel image
2. NVFlash
somebody wrote NVFlash is inpossible for B80
seems to be true:
rcm version 0X4
Comand send failed (usb write failed)
3. my last hope: ADB
a) Power&Vol+, adb shell-> device not found (Device Manager: Nvidia USB boot-recovery driver for mobile devices)
b) Power&Vol-, Vol+, adb shell:
List of devices:
0123456789ABCDEF offline
Device Manager: Asus Transformer ADB Interface
c) normal reboot, stuck on EeePad Screen, same as b)
Now I'm on the end of my ideas...
BTW. Tried also this, but dont work.
echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0 in Terminal on the pad->done, but nothing happens
BTW2 Im on Megatron 1.1.4 - It works but I cant take part of the development on this.
BTW3 @Thing o Doom: Your PERI also dont work. Think it belonges to the ADB Problems.
BTW4 If I try to going into recovery there is written:
Android WW_epad-user bootloader < e> released by WW_epad-8.6.6.23-20111202
Checking for Android ota recovery
Skipping android ota checking
Checking for RCK..press key <VOL_Up> in 5 sec to enter RCK
Booting recovery kernel image
If I understand that right it may possible to flash a OTA-Update with this method?
Which schould i use?
BTW5 Tried to copy Rouges recoveryblob to mmcblk04p. Was sucessful, but nothing happens
EDIT:
I just talked to Rayman and this won't work for you, TF101G devices have another SBK. I'm sorry.
Hi there.
I made this tool for you.
http://www.mediafire.com/?5wi7ga8c7b4wz1p
Unzip and start EasyFlasher.exe
1. Put your tablet in APX mode (Hold down Power and volume up)
2. Install APX drivers if needed
3. In EasyFlasher, click on the "Wheelie" button, this prepares your tablet for nvflash.
4. Click Flash recovery.
This should work if you have a SBK2 device, I have heard that newer TF101Gs have a newer SBK, if you have a newer SBK, this will not work.
EDIT:
This tool will only work with any SBK2 device at the moment.

First, thanks to anyone in advance who can help me get TWRP on my TF700. Some info:
ROM: Asus stock build JR003C.US_epad-10.4.4.25-20121228 (4.1.1, rooted)
Bootloader: US_epad-10.4.4.25-20121228 (unlocked)
Since I am rooted and unlocked, I took the simple approach of installing GooManager. In GooManager I used the Install OpenRecoveryScript menu item. GooManager downloaded and flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf700t.blob.
I then rebooted into recovery from GooManager. TWRP does not load. Instead, I get a picture of the android robot lying on its back with a red triangle and "!".
I tried repeating the above twice just to make sure and the behavior was the same.
So instead of GooManager I tried installing TWRP via fastboot. Holding down power and volume- together I booted into the bootloader selection menu and selected fastboot mode. I have all the ADT tools installed. I installed openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf700t.blob using fastboot:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf700t.blob
fastboot succeed writing the recovery. However, when I reboot and select RCK from the bootloader I still get the red triangle screen.
I've repeated flashing TWRP via fastboot several times with the same results.
I must be missing something simple. Thanks in advance for your help.

What you did doesn't look wrong. Are you sure your bootloader is unlocked?
You could also try the third way to install TWRP, via the staging partition: Move the blob to the device and run these commands in an adb shell:
su
dd if=/sdcard/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf700t.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
Then reboot. The bootloader should show a blue (slightly broken) progress bar when it copies the recovery from the staging partition to the recovery partition.

Thank you. This wasn't the problem, but prompting me to go into a shell and poke around a bit did solve my problem.
I noticed the number of bytes written on the dd looked odd, so I checked the md5sum. It was a corrupt twrp download.
I downloaded the TWRP image file again, verified the md5sum, flashed it, and it worked.
My apologies for bothering everyone with the thread.
Hi all !
Two weeks ago I somehow lost my recovery...
I had CWM 6.0.2.1 and decided to flash compatible TWRP zip 2.6.3.0 and switch recovery. I think i forgot to wipe something. It did flash it, but not successfully. When I tried to enter the recovery it stucked in "searching RCK" and didn't enter the costume recovery. I rebooted it and it get stucked on the ASUS screen. So now I have 2 options:
(The tablet is off)
1. Turning on- holding POWER- stucked on ASUS boot screen.
2. Holding POWER+VOL DOWN- enters RCK. from here I have two options, again:
2a. Enter recovey- press VOL UP - doesn't eter recovery; stucked at "searching RCK".
2b. press nothing- I have two options:
2b.a. cold boot - boots normally to the ROM (CM10)
2b.a. wipe data - haven't tried it, but i belive it will wipe my data XD
I've tried PERI and 1ClickTransformerRoot - no results...
In my opinion, the main problem is that the tablet can't reboot normally...
I need your help, I'll apritiate it a lot !

Wipe data won't wipe data as it relies on stock recovery.
Here is what I would do:
Download the TWRP you want to use.
Unzip so you have the TWRP.blob and put it in the /sdcard/ directory.
Then run the following in a terminal:
Code:
$ [b]su[/b]
# [b]dd if=/sdcard/TWRP.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4[/b]
# [b]reboot[/b]
Wait for it to fully reboot (should see an Eee Pad with progress indicator on boot)
Once it is booted, reboot to recovery.

I would add to first do this when booted to the ROM from either terminal or through adb shell:
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
And reboot normally. This will clear a flag or something that's causing the boot loop and allow normal reboots. Then do as Frederuco says above.

Can I try a similar method with CWM ? :fingers-crossed:
Btw. you two are great !
You can do the same with a CWM blob file.
Also, if you have a TF101 (non 3G) you can boot to APX and install using NVFlash (EasyFlasher).
See here for details on how to use EasyFlasher: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...t/31927-frederuco-s-guide-root-rom-tf101.html

I was trying to root and install KatKiss on my Asus SL101.
Somehow i messed it up.
I managed to root it, installed twrp but couldnt get into recovery.
Somehow i installed CWM too and when i hit format it stucked.
Now i can enter recovery CWM but it says it cant mount the sd card where i put the Katkiss, the apps and the SL101 compatibility pack.
I cant go back into the original rom cause it just says asus and the cyrcle goes on and on.
I could use some advice on how and where to enter those lines as i am not very familiar with android

Have you tried cold boot?
Read through the OP in order to cold boot into ROM:
2. Holding POWER+VOL DOWN- enters RCK. from here I have two options, again:
2a. Enter recovey- press VOL UP - doesn't eter recovery; stucked at "searching RCK".
2b. press nothing
2b.a. cold boot - boots normally to the ROM

2b. press nothing
2b.a. cold boot - boots normally to the ROM
in my case
2a. it does enter recovery cwm, but cant format and it doesnt see the sd card - cant mount it.
2b. press nothing
2b.a cold boot - doesnt boot normally. it stays on the asus logo page and the bubbles rotates
therefore i dont know where could i install that terminal

I installed it using the TWRP app. I thought I installed it successfully, but I didn't. I got stuck at the boot loader. After cold booting android, and installing Rom Manager, I find out that both CWM and TWRP are installed some how?

Rommanager = not good for Asus tf101. Also, you don't need any app for installing twrp. If you have a working, up to date recovery, you should be able to flash the twrp zip directly from recovery. I recommend my builds of twrp, of course.

[Q] 2 Issues when rooting: No SU binary installed, & red triangle on dead android.
This is my second root ever, I am still very new to this process but my first root went smoothly.
So basically the problem started when I copied the SuperSU file onto my phone using the command
adb push UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.XX.zip /sdcard/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After that, I tried finding the zip file through the TWRP recovery screen but I couldn't. I figured I'd go reboot my device. Once I pressed on reboot, a screen popped up asking if I wanted to install SuperSU, "ok cool" I thought and swiped to the right to install. At this point I thought my phones rooted.
I open up SuperSU and I get the error message:
There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!
If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!

I'm on 4.2.2
I decided to go back to recovery mode and that's when I saw the red triangle over the dead android. I thought I had bricked my phone but i'm back to my regular home screen.
Can anyone help me please?
How did you apply TWRP? Did you boot it or flash it. If you chose to boot it, the custom recovery won't stick.
The dead android you are seeing is the stock recovery.
My advice is to boot back into the bootloader and flash the recovery, then flash the SU,zip

The red triangle with the android is just the stock recovery. What commands are you using to flash TWRP? I'm assuming you unlocked the boot loader.
You should type in "fastboot flash recovery name_of_twrp_file.img"
Download the supersu.zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/376/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.89.zip and put it on your phone while the phone is on and connected to a computer. (Just drag it in)
Then reboot into TWRP and flash that file.
Say NO..again NO to the part when it asks you if you want to root. It shouldn't ask you, but if it does, say no.

Yeah just download THIS FILE first then boot into the bootloader and type in "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-hammerhead.img" without the quotes in a CMD window.
After it says finished, use the volume keys to select "Recovery Mode" and press the power button to go into it. Then flash the supersu file that you transferred earlier. (the new version).

You are welcome. I am always glad to help someone doing things the right way!
Run an app that requires root. If SuperSu requests access, you are rooted.

Congrats!
Some of you may be wondering by the title of my thread, "Why in the world would you want to do that? Just install TWRP completely!"
The simple answer to that; I simply can't. I am unable to overwrite my recovery using goo manager/recovery flashes/terminal emulator, etc. And now you must be thinking. "Well just reset your tablet using NVFlash or the ADB Toolkit!" But alas, I just cannot for the one reason that has killed me for the past two years:
No computer will detect my Transformer.
That's right, plugging up my tablet to a computer via USB cable does nothing at all. And no, it is not my USB cable, because I have tried multiple. All I have ever wanted to do was upgrade from Android 4.1, but I cannot, because my current CWM image doesn't fully support it. So this brings us to my first question: Is it possible to run another recovery on top of my current one, just so I can flash a kitkat ROM? Is this even possible? Will it prove ineffective because it's running on top of the incompatible CWM anyway? Any and all answers will be appreaciated. I really wish I could simply use an easy Flash tool, but I just happen to be hated by all devices. Any fix to my recovery issue or my NVFlash/USB cable issue will be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you for your time
What recovery do you currently have installed?
Is there any output if you try to install a different recovery.zip?
After trying to install a new recovery, do you get a progressbar in the initial Asus bootscreen.
Does your device currently boot into android?
If so, what happens if you open a terminal in android and type
su
Does your prompt change to [email protected]?

I'm running clockworkmod touch (version 5.something) I don't get any progress bar after flashing a new recovery.zip
if I flash a new recovery.zip, it goes through successfully, but it never actually flashes. I can reboot into android via the "cold-boot" method (booting normally takes me to recovery). I don't know about the su command. I'll get back to you on that.
Edit: u0 [email protected]:/ # is what I get, so no root user. Just u0 with the root pound sign after. That's the only change

Ok. That's a start.
Please download the latest TWRP 2.8.1.1 recovery. We need it because cwm is outdated for our devices.
You will also need UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16.zip.
Boot to recovery and install the supersu.zip.
Boot to android and open the new Supersu application. If there are no errors we can continue.
Boot into recovery and flash the twrp.zip
Go back to android. Open the terminal and type
su
Now the supersu app should ask you to grant root for the terminal. Do it.
Now enter the following:
echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0
reboot
Let the device reboot
You will notice the progressbar at the initial Asus screen.
Wait until android is fully rebooted.
Reboot to recovery. Voila, TWRP.

I followed everything step by step, and it all went just how you described! After nearly two years of having a screwed up tablet, you sir, have helped me resurrect it! I see a donation coming around!
Yeah, just saw that while looking at your other posts. But the thanks-button will suffice .
And you will be pleased how far this device has come. KatKiss Lollipop was just released by timduru
