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)

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.

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.

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?

it seems that i thoroughly wiped my tablet and now it has no OS at all the pic below is all i got and i cant do anything else. so how screwed am i?
*EDIT* ok so i managed to get it to the point where the 4 icons are :RCK android USB wipe data: by running the command abd reboot bootloader. but it says its in cold boot and was stuck there where i could do nothing but shut it back down. any ideas what i should try next?
You are doomed!
J/K.
Have you try to install TWRP and flash a custom ROM? Looks like your tablet is already unlocked.
i did have twrp and was running clean rom 2.5. i was gonna sell it today and my eagerness to wipe it clean i failed to have a ROM zip file ready to go and wiped the system. from what i can tell i no longer have an OS.
so i might in fact be doomed

As long as you can still get in the bootloader you'll be fine (others might correct me here). You should be able to get into USB mode and use ADB on another machine connected via USB to copy a ROM to the internal SD card. I also think TWRP can load a ROM off the removable SD card.
Good luck.
i mean i have no recovery now or anything. i can turn it of with the reset button and vol+ but if i turn it on that pic is all it does. and i cant even find a twrp download
*EDIT* ok so i managed to get it to the point where the 4 icons are :RCK android USB wipe data: by running the command abd reboot bootloader. i cant flash a rom off of my external sd card
is there anything i can flash from my exsd using twrp 2.2.1.5. right now my tablet is still not found in abd or fastboot

I was working on porting Android 4.2 and flashed my work. Unfortunately it didn't boot. I am currently using this version of CWM recovery. I had another kernel sitting on my internal SD to flash. Unfortunately in an attempt to get it to boot I wiped /data, which includes the internal SD. My recovery doesn't appear to read external storage. Another unfortunate thing is that usb connection hasn't worked in quite a long time. It doesn't show up under lsusb, no matter what mode I have the tablet in. All I have access to is that version of CWM recovery.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks for reading.
Have you considered reflashing the whole image using NVFlash in APX mode?

I have tried APX, unfortunately it still does not show up under lsusb.
i started out bu using this site for my info to flash cwm to my tablet. after my research i was able to get it on and open it. however i could not mount my internal sd or extrenal sd for the life of me. i tried with usb debug on and with it off. nothing. i then read that twrp had a working recovery image for the tf300 so i tried that as well. i flashed it over but now my tablet will not boot into the custom recovery, it just freezes. i couldnt care which recovery i use i just want to be able to root my tablet and have a recovery for it. neither of which i have despite my work. i understand how to get root but i can not get my custom image to work.
extra details. the image is for jelly bean 4.2 and the asus tf300. i also flashed twrp straight over cmd.
thanks in advance
Hi did you fix this problem? I have same problem now
Hello, I have an ASUS TF101, it was running on android 4.0.3 before i decided to root it and install a custom rom on it. This was my first time and i messed up. After rooting, I downloaded the ROM Manager and installed clockworkmod recovery. Then i downloaded the cyanogenmod rom for my tablet and placed it in the internal sd card. After this i booted the system and went in the Clockworkmod recovery stage where i cleared the cache and made the format of the device. then after 10 minutes sth went wrong and the screen froze. Now i am stuck in the boot when ever i try to turn on the tablet. When i go to the CWM Recovery it does not let me install the custom rom and says the sd card cannot be mounted.
Please help me . I want a solution to this. even if it takes to go back to the stock android I am ready to do that but please tell me how to.
Thanks a lot in advance. Tarun
