TF101G can't flash anythings anymore - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ASUS EEEPAD TRANSFORMER TF101G
EOS JDQ39 Nightly 120
C.W.M. 6.0.1.3
I'm not able to flash any rom or recovery anymore, the only thing i get is: unknown volume for path [/sdcard/] can't mount /sdcard/.
been trying with PERI, 1Click root, and several tools by ADB or by APK, but nothings change.
I would like to flash a linux image, and to change to TWRP recovery, as i've read twpr is the most compatible recovery for tf101g, isn't it?
(the same error is given with any rom zip)
tyvm in advance.

So you can try with this guide
1: Get a working SD card.
2: Download ASUS stock rom.
3: Connect your TF101G to a windows PC.
4: Boot your TF101G into APX mode
5: Install APX drivers.
6: Put the ROM zip inside the asusupdate folder.
7: Launch Easy Flasher and select Flash ASUS stock zip.
8: The app should now open a DOS window and run a script... something like extracting blob and then a bunch of other stuff.
9: Once it runs its course your tablet should say *installation success!* or something to that effect.
10: Reboot.
good luck

done everythings you suggested without any error, but nothings new happened, still the same error when triyng to flash, same with sdcard or ext-sdcard or usb-drive: "unknown volume for path [/sdcard/] can't mount /sdcard/"

the same if i want to flash a new recovery, no errors but no news after reboothing
(the process for flashing the new recovery took only few seconds, even though it didn't get any error)

APX mode with NVflash/wheelie won't work on the TF101G unfortunately (we don't have the SBK for the TF101G). So EasyFlasher also won't work!
If you can boot into recovery you could connect to your PC with the cable and use adb shell from your PC. You could then "adb push" the TWRP zip to internal storage (not sure if the CWM version you have installed supports it though). Alternatively you could try mounting the SD from the command line, or try and get a different MicroSD card if your one is faulty. That's about all you can do on the TF101G unfortunately.

Does your computer (I assume it's Windows) recognise the TF as a device (in device manager)? Do you have the USB drivers installed?

You might want to try that although if your tab is recognized under Windows it should be ok. Linux normally does not require installation of special drivers. If you have permission errors, just run adb as root.
BTW, just to be sure, you have to run adb while your tab is in Recovery mode, NOT APX!

From what I remember, 64bit Windows requires signed drivers, the drivers you need (Universal Naked Drivers) are not signed
Install 32bit Windows 7 in VMWare or Virtualbox
See my sig links for Easyflasher to use in 32bit Win 7

You can't install this with easyflasher. You also cannot install it via a "recovery zip". You have to do it in the command line (either in Android, using Android Terminal Emulator, or in Recovery with adb shell). Detailed instructions are on the threads - please read them!

[Q] CMW (internal storage) no ROM (on SD) on TF101 b80

hi! my apologies but i searched and read alot of post already on how to solve this.
i flashed Roach latest CMW how ever being so stupid i forgot to put a ROM on internal memory. did full wipe already and i have no ROM to flash as it reads internal memory only.
ive read alot of post regarding the concern, i want to try to push a ROM on internal drive using ADB but when i run "adb devices" nothing is found.
any suggestions or any links to posts that i might get help or tutorial. im not an expert on using ADB so keep instructions simple, im a noob i admit it but i just need help. thanks!
read through posts "[Troubleshooting/Solved] ClockworkMod recovery 5.5.0.4 from Koush" "Used roach's new CWM recovery, now can't intall rom" "
im on recovery and when i run adb devices it just blank. any walk through is much appreciated!
Do yo have USB debugging on?
I dont know because i was about to flash a new rom so i did a full wipe already
Did you ever get ADB working before all this? USB debugging usually have to be turn on by the user. In Settings>Developer options.
i havent with my tablet but with my htc desire hd i used adb. and when ever i flash a ROM on my tf i usually turn on usb debugging always. right now in on recovery roach r2. my ROM is on my external memory. also tried to do a nvflash how ever whenever i run the download.bat cmd opens then closes 3 secs maybe
i also got a new sdk from this forum " [GUIDE] Getting ADB Setup; An Idiots' proof guide on getting ADB working for Rooting!" as ave said above when i type "adb devices" its just blank and does not list any device.
I had exactly the same problem - I'm not sure about tablet version that I own, but I've flashed Wipe Lite and new Recovery. I also have HTC phone that I've been using on the same PC .
I've spent an hour trying to get my TF back on feet and I managed it.
I would recommend uninstalling all HTC and ASUS software and drivers, rebooting PC and installing just ASUS PC Suite. It worked in my case - suddenly Device ID showed up for a few seconds before ADB reported "no device" again.
So I've pushed Rogue XM Recovery to data/media:
adb push roguexm data/media
Of course use name of zip file instead "roguexm" in command above.
After that zip file showed up on sdcard and I could flash it - it doesn't support AROMA but it works quite fine otherwise.
Hope it'll work in your case. Good luck!
Hope it will help
I once were in your case, did full wipe and forgot to put a Rom in internal memory. But in my case I just rebooted the transformer and all of a supprise, my tablet reverted to the stock Rom! I dont know how this happend but may be Asus did something to keep stock Rom persistent whatever you have flashed roms or CWMs.
So i hope this also happened in your case, just give it a try. Good luck!
If he did "Full Wipe - factory reset" then he should be able to boot HC/ICS and from that copy files onto internal /sdcard.
But if he used Android Revolution Super Wipe script either Lite or Full then he has nothing to boot into, no system at all - I've done that Only thing that left was recovery without external sdcard support, so I had nothing to install...
ASUS and HTC drivers have some issues and make everything harder than it should be, that's why I recommend to uninstall all HTC and ASUS software, rebooting PC and installing ASUS PC Suite only, to have "clean" drivers on PC.
I've tried different drivers and none of them worked, until I've done that.
Ok, I'll try to write it simple, I'm not sure if I can post links so just in case I'll give thread names. If it will be too simple don't get mad - ok?
1. Uninstall ASUS and HTC software, reinstall ASUS software like mentioned above.
2. Create folder on your C: drive called CWM
3. Go to post "Eee Pad Transformer Android Development\[Recovery] Rogue XM Recovery v1.3.0 (CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7" thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446019
and "save as..." cwm_recovery-5027_rogue_rburrow-tf101-r1.zip to C:\CWM
4. Highlight/select command below:
adb push cwm_recovery-5027_rogue_rburrow-tf101-r1.zip data/media
then right click on it and select "copy" - it will save you typing it later.
5. Boot Recovery on your Transformer and connect it to PC, let system install device drivers
6. Click START, "Run...", type: cmd
7. It should show you path to your profile folder - C:\Users\yourname>
8. Type: cd /CWM
it will change folder to C:\CWM>
9. type: adb devices
(it should give you your device ID, if it still will give "no device id" then there I can't help you - I'm sorry)
10. right click on black background and select "paste" (you'll see command that you've copied from number 4), then press enter
11. It should copy recovery onto your internal sdcard - you will be able to select it from tablet
12. type adb kill-server and disconnect tablet, install new recovery and from that one you will be able to select external or internal sdcard
Notes:
I don't know why but I was able to send only small file from CWM-adb connection, it kept disconnecting quite quickly that is why I recommend sending Rogue XM Recovery instead of whole new ROM.
Other thing - it may depend on what windows system you have - I'm on Win 7 x64 (don't remember how it worked on other versions) and I can paste onto cmd (black) window without problems from right click menu. If you won't be able to paste there or you'll get some rubbish, try to right click on top bar and select "Edit" and then "Paste".
Ok, that's all. Hope it will work.
thanks for all inputs. i did a full wipe but not as scripts. i wiped manually. i did try to reboot but stuck as eepad screen. will try to re-install asus drivers and uninstall htc ones. hopefully i get it done today. i will update later...
still no luck. device not found. im going to try to install new sdk... i hope it works. ive already removed htc sync and drivers. also re-installed asus sync and updated drivers. on device manager detects on other devices transformer but drivers are not installed.
yahoo! got it working now. i had to enable adb usb Drivers for Nvidia Tegra based Android Tablets and re-install SDK download android usb and learn What Is ADB And How To Install It With Android SDK.

Could you tell me how to do that? Because I have the exact same problem.

Pantech Element TWRP Recovery and Stock Rooted Roms

This is TWRP recovery and Stock rooted roms for the ICS firmware on the tablet.
These will only work if you currently have ICS running on your tablet. If you still have honeycomb then do the upgrade first.
Nothing was added or removed from the stock roms besides root and busybox.
Only bug with TWRP is that you can't mount sdcard in recovery. Just use adb push.
Instructions for installing TWRP Recovery:
1. Ensure you have Android SDK installed with adb and fastboot working
2. Download both the twrprecovery.img and twrprecovery.zip from here
3. Copy twrprecovery.zip to external sdcard
4. Reboot tablet to bootloader by issuing the command "adb reboot bootloader"
5. Then "fastboot boot twrprecovery.img"
6. When in recovery choose install then browse to /sdcard and choose twrprecovery.zip and flash that zip
7. Now TWRP is installed permanently.
Thanks:
attn1 - gave me some help since I am new to pantech devices
Dees_troy - for TWRP code obviously
Tassadar - for his rotation code for twrp. Without this it wouldn't have been possible
Disclaimer: Flash this ROM at your own risk. I am not responsible for what you do on your device. I left this stock to provide a base for anybody that wants to use it. Mod this rom how you want. Just please remember to give credit where credit is due.
This is a pure stock rooted rom. It has items like busybox, init.d support and so forth. No apps were added or removed. Both Odexed and Deodexed versions below.

Once I reboot into fastboot, I am getting 'cannot load twrprecovery.img': no error
Any ideas? I even created a directory named tools in the adb directory on my computer and moved twrprecovery.img into it.
(Thought that might help).
Where is the twrprecovery.img file supposed to reside? (On the computer, or on the phone?)

OK, stupid question:
How do you reboot to TWRP? It loaded the first time, and I did a backup.
After reboot, I can only seem to get into the standard recovery.
What is the button combination to get to TWRP?
Also, will we be able to use goo manager to update TWRP as new versions come out, or is this a custom version?
TIA

Read the instructions. You HAVE to flash the zip I provided for recovery to be installed permanently.
This recovery required some special code for screen rotation. Dees_troy is working on getting it added to mainline. So right now you can't get it through goo manager. But I work closely with Dees to make sure all my builds are officially supported. I will post here when it becomes available through there

Waiting on device in fastboot means drivers aren't installed or the wrong ones are. Download the software upgrade app from pantech site then install. Browse to the install directory and run the installer for the drivers. But before that uninstall whatever drivers you have installed currently. I'm mobile or else I would link you directly

Did you check "USB debugging" on the tablet?
Also, I had to set USB connection on the tablet to the last choice "PC Data Mode".

Is this what you're referring to? I download it from Pantech website.
htt p://c7240 62.r62 .cf2.rackcdn. com/PantechPCSuite_1.1.1.3437. exe
When do I need to install the driver? During fastboot mode, or normal mode?
I also notice that when I change the usb mode to MTP, it detects missing driver as well.
During normal mode it detects 2 pantech drivers in order to connect to pc suite.
Oya, when you guys do adb devices, does your device detect POROROxxxxxxx as well or only numbers?
I wonder this has anything to do with it, because I was trying to root with honeycomb version earlier and my pantech is ICS 4.0.4

Anytime when the tablet is not plugged in. This will make the computer automatically install anything needed for the tablet and you won't have issues with fastboot or adb anymore

Actually it's similar steps; however, yours is more like 1-click root
Anyway, I tried everything all above, but it didn't solve my problem, then I found the solution from other website
I just want to share in case others are stuck in fastboot mode like me:
1. When your tablet screen is on fastboot mode (white), go to device manager on your pc
2. Right click on Android > Update driver
3. Click on Browse driver
4. Choose Let me pick manually from my pc list
5. Choose Android phone and pick the first list there. It should be "Android ADB..."
6. Install and fastboot continued
if you can't find Android ADB from your pc list, then you should unplug device then install PC Suite.
here's the old tuts: youtube com/watch?v=UHRonVzBMsI
Hopefully it helps others and thank you very much for all your help!
Delete!
Finally! and a question
Finally a recovery for the element! Rhanks to the OP. Now I am less afraid to tinker with my tablet.
Question: The most important thing right now that I'd like to do is move the folder /data/data from the internal storage, to the internal SD card. This is stopping me from using Google Magazines and Google music, since their data is being stored there, and it shares space with actual applications. 1GB is not that much space for APPS, Dalvik Cache and APPs' data when you add magazines, and when google starts caching Music and Chrome data there. I currently only have 300MB left before I install Music and magazines. And that is AFTER I've used app2sd on all apps that can be moved. How do I do this?
I have tried simply creating a Link using "ln - s /mnt/sdcard/data /data/data" once I copied/moved the contents of the directory, which sort of works initially, but it will not work after a reboot. It actually stops my tablet from booting. (again, thanks to the OP for the recovery).
right now, I am just doing an "ln" on the specific folder inside the /data/data folder, but it acts weird when I use Titanium Backup to restore data
-> Android noob <-
Installing TWRP went smooth as silk. With twrprecovery.zip on you micro sdcard and Element connected with usb cable and USB debuuging checked 1.Just copy twrprecovery.img into your sdk folder/ platform-tools and also have a copy of cmd.exe from windows in the platform-tools folder. 2. Start cmd.exe and type or copy & paste command reboot bootloader 3. Then on white screen(fastboot) type or paste command fastboot boot twrprecovery.img 4. When you boot into TWRP install twrprecovery.zip.....As you rebbot system TWRP should ask if you want Supersu installed and swipe to install. Once rebooted install supersu from the Play store and open Supersu to update SU file all should be good
Thanks for the info and files. I know I'm a little late on this Tablet but picked it up cheap and with ATT 4G it goes along with my devices. The orginial owner hadn't even installed ICS and she wasn't even aware of an update. She now owns an Apple :laugh::laugh:device LOL
I just picked one up for $90 bucks off ebay. It was on slickdeals .net
Figured i'd use it around the pool and save my phone!
No one has deved a JB rom though Could KK even be possible?

Yes good deal, got mine last month on Craigslist for $70.00 and works really well. The owner hadn't even updated to 4.0 or even knew how. It is a good tablet and have rooted it. I think its development is pretty well dead as not many sold. Only thing bad about it is the Element reads 2nd partition instead of 1st as most android devices do, so harder to use link2sd or folder mount as they both use 2nd partition.

team eos rom not booting

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2362764
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!

no luck.
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.

How I know latest stable TWRP for tf300tg is 2.4.4.0, but I have tf300t and don't sure in it. Anyway You can flash stock firmware through fastboot. And make sure You use TWRP and rom for Your current bootloader.
Unfortunately, if I connect to the pc tf300tg is recognized as the Transformer and the fastboot does not work because it does not recognize the tablet.
Try to remove all software and drivers for tablet from Your PC and install Universal Naked Driver.

How do I install? I tried to choose the tablet driver from the folder Universal Naked Driver but I get "Can not find driver software for this device".
I tried to install this rom and the installation starts, it installs the rom on the external sd card and not on the memory of the tablet. In fact, the recovery can not mount the memory of the tablet but only the external sd.
You should able force windows to use this driver. Instead of search chose driver manually and pick android_winusb.inf.

I can not because the drivers are not 64bit.
I can not understand why the recovery does not mount the internal sd.
Thanks for your time :angel:
Recovery can not see internal memory because this version incompatible with Your tablet. You can use virtual machine for fastboot, but it kind of risky. I tried to do so with virtualbox already and was succeeded.

I was hoping to resolve on its own with the help of the forum. Unfortunately I'll have to bring it to service, or try with virtualbox but I do not know how to do.
I removed all drivers for tablet and installed xubuntu 13.04 x32 on virtualbox. Xubuntu already have proper drivers for tablet and fastboot binary in software center. So You need to install only one package for it. Using fastboot in Ubuntu and Windows is same with little exeptions: You need run fastboot with root privileges.

[Q] Help in London

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

Yes, I've tried another SD card and tried reformatting in different ways too (e.g. FAT and FAT32) but no luck

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.

I've tried Easyflasher and other things but no luck. The recovery won't mount the SD card.
I haven't tried adb - apparently it's very complicated to do and I'm not exactly the most technically gifted person!

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.

Hi There,
My IT repair people tried your instructions and they said that the tablet won't accept the any of the instructions. Do you have any other ideas?
Best,
Steve

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?
