[Q] Internal and SD Can't mount in CWM

Hi all.
Im having some problems with this, and was hoping that some one here could help me.
I have unlocked my device, no problems.
Then i have installed CWM, no problems.
Now here my problems begin... I have copied a custom ROM zip file, onto my tablet. When i boot my tablet into CWM i get some errors in the bottom of the screen looking like this:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Now when i choose to "- Install zip from sdcard" and after that i choose "- Choose zip file from sdcard" i get this error: E:Can't mount /sdcard/
Then i try to select the "- Choose zip from internal storage" but then i get this error: E:Can't mount /emmc/
Basicly i cant do anything at all in CWM without getting errors, cant even whipe the cache or anything.
Can someone help me to find out what to do now. And hopefully how to solve this?
I can boot into my androind system without any problems.
Hope some one know's what to do. Thank you in advance.
Info:
TF300T
Android 4.2.1
Kernel 3.1.10-g6f31760
CWM-based Revovery v6.0.2.3
If there is anything else you need to know to be able to help me, please ask.
Have a good day.

CWM doesnt work with the 4.2 bootloader from ASUS. Only TWRP for bootloader 4.2 seems to work. You will have to flash TWRP 2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2. Take note you need the TWRP version with the "-4.2" at the end. Flashing the incorrect TWRP version can brick your tablet.
Download http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf300t/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob.
Reboot tablet and hold volume down button while it's powering up to enter fastboot mode. Do not select any of the 3 icons (RCK, Android logo, Wipe Data) on tablet. Connect tablet to PC via USB cable.
On Windows PC, cmd window type:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob.
On tablet, wait until blue progress bar completely fills up.
On Windows PC, cmd window type:
fastboot reboot
That should replace your CWM with TWRP.

Hello ImmovableObject.
Thank you very much for you reply, that was excatly what was wrong.. Stupid me, not checking up on that. I actually flashed another version of TWRP, so i guess i was extreemly lucky that it did not brick my tablet.
But after i flashed the right TWRP its all good, everything is working as intented, and i can make backups and flash custom roms now. Thank you very much for your help
Have a good day all.

You are very much welcomed! I'm glad it worked for you.

I found this useful when I was struggling with CWM as well, very glad I was careful to pick the 4.2 blob
Thanks for the help!

Holy Crap!
I can't believe how stupid I was! I ahve always despised CWM yet I was using it on my TF300T. After searching and searching for a fix I came onto this. Great job man!

THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I too stumbled around with CM Recovery for about 30 minutes, dumbfounded by the fact that it couldn't mount either the internal or external storage. I did some research and that's when I came across this post. I can't believe they don't make any mention in any of the tutorials that CM Recovery won't work with the newest 4.2 bootloader from Asus.

Your method did not work with my TF300T, Please assist
@ImmovableObject , I've tried your method but for some reason my Tablet did not reboot with the command "Fastboot reboot" and i still get CWM-based Recovery v6.0.2.3 for recovery instead of TWRP. it did say the flash was OKAY.
Please Please help

That's strange.
Was your tablet running Android 4.2?
Try waiting a little longer (5 or more seconds) before issuing the "fastboot reboot" after the message that the flash was OKAY.
Things you could also try:
* Update your fastboot.exe to the latest version. You can do this via the Android SDK Manager on your computer. Fastboot is included under "Tools" > "Android SDK Platform-tools."
* Use a different USB cable.
* Connect cable to a different USB port on your computer.

Hello.
I have TG300TG that only goes to CWM-based recovery v.6.0.1.3 and can not mount sd card. I've tried the mothod described here, but I can't get to fastboot mode. When I hold vol down it only goes to CWM again and again.

I have the same problem, to actually get back to the bootloader and select RCK or Android do this:
Once CMW is loaded open command and do
adb reboot-bootloader
that also enabled fastboot again but I'm still not able to load TWRP
---------- Post added at 01:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 AM ----------
So just like the previous few posts I too installed CWM and I can't reflash TWRP.
Here's the output from the console:

Device is unresponsive to any commands and must be rebooted manually. Once I reboot the device loads to the CWM Recovery unless I run "adb reboot-bootloader" and then I can choose to boot the ROM. So at least it's not bricked.

Fix
Found this posted by buster.
So if you're TF300T is booting directly to recovery and you can't get to fastboot do what I post above:
1. Let recovery load
2. With recovery loaded you can now use adb. enter: adb reboot-bootloader
3. You should now be at the bootloader screen (RCK, Android, Wipe screen). Do this:

Here how i restored my TF300T JB
download your appropriate lates firmware from Asus (WW, US etc.) and extract the zip twice so you have your blob file
install your device drivers if needed (i used Google SDK ones) (and as a Tip Win8 sucks for Fastboot stuff so try to get Win7 Vista XP for this)
Reset your device with a paperclip/needle (about 2 cm down of your sdcard slot) and hold vol-down to enter fastboot
(the folowing i did at least 10 times already but didn't erase misc)
fastboot -i 0x0B05 erase system
fastboot -i 0x0B05 erase recovery
fastboot -i 0x0B05 erase userdata
fastboot -i 0x0B05 erase boot

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system c:\adb\TF300t\blob (this is my path - your's may vary depending where you stored your blob) ((also this was the first time i saw the loading bar while flashing)*
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
* it also took a lot longer as it should:

twpr is working
flashed twpr v2.5.0.0
works great so far, but it takes a little more time to load than cwm.

help!
right guys, I'm completely green when it comes to stuff like this so apologies if my questions are too daft.
I tried to root my tablet and forgot to back it up, tired few things I found online and got myself in a position where I can't use fastboot as my tablet is taking me to CWM recovery straight away and holding volume key and power makes no difference... any ideas? apart from throwing my table in a bin?

[Q] A700 unable to boot into recovery after flashing cm10.1

Hi there,
thanks to this forum I was able to flash several HTC phones sucessfully, but today I got perfectly stranded.
The original android version (jelly bean) of the Acer A700 was 4.1.1.
The plan was to get root access and put on CyanogenMod cm-10.1.0-RC5-a700.zip
Here is what I did:
- unlock the booloader (fastboot oem unlock)
- getting root access using easyroot.bat
I checked root access via "rootchecker" and everything appeared to be fine.
- Installing ClockWorkMod Recovery
- Under "recovery" I selected the A700 and also flashed the touch version of CWM
I opened up CWM and selected "reboot into recovery"
The A700 did was it was told and I got the usual CWM menue and could see the
desired cm-10.1.0-RC5 on my SD card
So far I was impressed how simple everything went and carried on flashing the CM10.1.
Before I did so I made a backup of the actual ROM on my SD card, then I selected
"wipe cache" an started the flashing process from the SD card.
Everything went fine and after a short time the rotating CyanogenMod Logo appeared.
However, the logo keeps on spinning an nothing else happens any more (20+ minutes)
I powered off the device and tried it again with the same result.
I also tried to press [power] + [vol -] to boot into recovery.
Letting go the [power] button and keeping the [vol-] button pressed after the device
vibrates for the first time brings up only "bootloader version JB365b3d3 (unlock mode)"
but the second line "loading recovery kernel image" does not appear anymore
In other words pressing the keys will show no difference to a normal start procedure.
When I connect the A400 with my PC and type in "adb devices" I get its number but the comment "offline"
In short, I have no idea what I could have done wrong nor how to access the device again
Is there someone out who can help me? - Thanks a lot in advance!

Comming from stock ROM, You must do Factory Reset / Wipe ALL to boot properly CM 10.1
About ADB, you must upgrade your Android SDK/ADB tools to the latest version, ADB changed a little with Android 4.2.2
With adb working, you can launch
adb reboot recovery
It should work, then make factory reset, and try to boot

Thanks a lot for the very fats response ... to be honest I thought, questions like mine are unlikely to be answered (oh no, not another dung-head who bricked his device)
However, I downloaded the latest adb version (dated 2013-05-22) and tried it again, but without success.
I can apply [pwr] + [vol-] ... [lock] to bring it into fastboot download mode.
At least the A700 shows the following lines:
Bootloader: Version JB-652b3d3 (unlock mode)
Bootloader: Version JB-652b3d3 (unlock mode) Starting Fastboot USB download protocol
Having achies this I tried to re-flash the initilally installed but now missing CWM
fastboot flash recovery root/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-a700.img
sending 'recovery' (5018 KB)...

erasing 'cache'...
OKAY[ 0. 406s]

fastboot reboot

Having done this I expected the CWM to be again on the A700, but when I start with [pwr] + [vol-] the A700 still does not boot into recovery.
Again I get this:
Bootloader: Version JB-652b3d3 (unlock mode)
followed by the nevern ending spinning CM10.1 logo ...
Without the adb running I'm pretty hopeless ... does a factory reset change anything at this stage?

You can try
fastboot boot root/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-a700.img
to go in recovery
and then in CWM
wipe all/factory reset
flash CM 10.1 again
flash gapps
reboot

We are ariborne, Sir!
Ereasing all partitions and flashing CWM again did the trick
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.3-a700.img
To be honest I don't understand why could not boot into recovery before?!
However all appears to be fine again!
Thanks a lot!

same problem
Hello, i have the same problem. I tried to flash CM with CWM but I didnt factory reset so my device is stuck. And i dont know anything about Sdk and Adb, can someone please explain to me how to do it
P.S: my bootloader was already unlocked so im very new to skd bull****, i dont know anything

2 hours I'm looking for a solution and this thead save my life
thanks for advises
the way I took is by the erasing all and fastboot boot recovery.img and after I install the last CM11 by the sdcard slot
Thanks a lot I can go to sleep

Unable to boot into recovery menu

Hey I just got a tf300 for cheap and decided to put a rom on it. I got twrp installed and got root access. The version of twrp was too old and when I updated it and got into twrp I was prompted for a password. I figured something was wrong with the version of twrp I installed and I could go go back to the previous version of twrp by using fastboot but I am unable to get into fast boot.
I hold power and volume down but it boots right into twrp. I'm not able to get it to boot normally either it just boots into twrp. Has anybody run into this or have any ideas why I can't get power + volume down to bring up the recovery menu?
EDIT: Oh and adb doesn't see any devices either.
EDIT #2: It seems that my pc kind of recognizes that something is installed. It shows up on Device Manager as "Transformer" with the yellow exclamation point. I haven't been able to find any drivers that work with it. Anyone have a link?
EDIT #3: Ok I forced the universal naked drivers to install and adb devices now shows tf300 in recovery. When I put in adb reboot bootloader it comes up with the rck android and wipe data. I used fastboot to load my original twrp blob that was working fine. I get:
I:\tf300>fastboot -i 0x0b05 f
sending 'recovery' (6448 KB).
OKAY [ 1.895s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 2.862s]
finished. total time: 4.757s
But when I go into recovery its still the version of twrp that was causing issues and it still asks for a password.
I figured i'd do a fastboot erase of boot, cache, recovery, system, userdata and then fastboot the original twrp blob but I get:
I:\tf300>fastboot erase boot
< waiting for device >
EDIT #4: It seems that adb recognizes by device but fastboot does not. Entering fastboot devices returns blank. Anyone know if this is an issue with the driver?

Anyone?

Ok after a couple of hours of hair pulling I figured it out.
Fastboot was definitely not working witht tf300 due to drivers. Since I couldn't find any drivers for windows. I booted up my trusty linux server, installed android-tools-fastboot and voila sudo fastboot devices shows the tf300t.
Reloading twrp did not work so I tried formatting the partitions by doing the following:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase misc (The first couple of times I did this, I missed this one which caused bootloader to hang when installing twrp)
fastboot erase cache
I then installed the working version of twrp I had originally by:
fastboot –i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob
I then rebooted into recovery and twrp works great without any password prompt or errors that it could not access the partitions.
I user twrp to flash 2.7.01 version of twrp and rebooted, I then used twrp to flash CM11 snapshot M7 and gapps, cleared cache and davlik and then rebooted.
The CM spinning animation took a while but then it booted into CM.
The topics I got all this info from are too numerous to mention. I hope this helps anyone that has ran into the same situation.

THL T9 Pro request Root Method

Hey there,
i just bought a THL T9 Pro from Amazon.
Tried Kingroot, Framaroot, some PC Tools such as vRoot but no success. The Phone works with SP Flashtools and with issues in MTKDroidtools. Biggest Issue here is i cant generate a scatter file, when hitting block-map button there is only one block 0000000-000000 and the programm stops with error.
Does anyone know how to root this Phone (MTK6737) please help
SOLVED: go to This Post for a working solution for almost everyone thx to Evolym and juanamores.

Hi Hivescore!
I have the same problem as you and I have still not been solved.
I just bought a THL T9 Pro from Amazon, too.
The correct method seems to be that it is through TWRP recovery installed with SP Flashtools.
Once that process is done, download the SuperSU, restart in recovery mode and install the zip.
Do not provide download links because I do not allow me the forum for not having enough publications.
If you find any solution please send me private message or answer for this thread.

hey juanamores,
i ported twrp 3.0.2 for our device (thx to jemmini) and flashed su.zip from there. found out two solutions that work:
1.st Solution boot TWRP using Fastboot.
2nd Solution Flash TWRP using Fastboot.
anyway you need to unlock your bootloader first. (menupoints are in german because i dont know the exactly points in english xD )
Einstellungen -> Über das Telefon (About) -> 7-8 times tap Build-Nummer ->
Back, then Developer Options -> tick OEM-Entsperrung - tick USB-Debugging. now plug phone into pc allow the pc in the box appear on phone (this maybe pops up as soon as you start adb).
now open cmd with adb and type:
adb reboot-bootloader
wait until your phone is in bootloadermode (Fastboot... on Display)
type
fastboot flashing unlock
a message on your phone should appear about unlocking your bootloader follow it (this will WIPE your phone)
after complete, boot your phone again into bootloader (by adb command or when phone is off hold vol down and power until thl logo appears then release power until bootloader boots). in the meanwhile copy attached twrp.img to your fastboot/adb folder.
back into bootloader, type
fastboot boot twrp.img
twrp should boot up.
if you want to permanently flash twrp to your device i found the following solution:
copy twrp.img to your phones internal sd card by typing
adb push twrp.img /sdcard/
in twrp select Install -> on the next screen select image on the right side of the screen, select storage and find twrp.img in root of your sdcard, select recovery as partition and swipe to flash. Reboot Recovery to see result.
Flash su.zip to gain root access.
su.zip is attached
twrp.img download: here
Hope this works also for you

Hi Hivescore!
I followed all the steps but could not make it work.
When phone reboot, it does normally boot, not TWRP boot.

This worked for you?

Now I understand why it does not work for me!
There are 3 versions of THL T9 pro phones.
MT6737 - 1,3 GHz
MT6737M -1,1 GHz
MT6737T - 1,5 GHz
My phone is the first on that list! MT6737
The recovery that jemmini posted is for the second MT6737M
Could you get me the TWRP recovery and if possible the scatter for my MT6737?

hi juanamores!
could you please share your solution?
the link you gave leads nowhere.
I experience the same problem as mentioned above:
I unlocked the bootloader and try to boot or flash the twrp.img but it just boots android as normal.
I checked if I succesfully unlocked my bootloader by
Code:
$./fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability
and it prints the size of the bootloader, so it's okay I guess (?)
I used both of these commands:
Code:
$./fastboot boot twrp.img
Code:
$./fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
I'm not shure what went wrong but when I boot to recovery the old recovery shows up.
-> it can't have been overwritten with the twrp.img OR twrp.img contains the old recovery as well (what I doubt).

You have to use SP Flash Tool v 5.16.20.00 to flash recovery.
Attached the recovery and the scatter and download link

After flashing a Custom Recovery, If you want to boot to recovery, the actual command through fastboot is
Code:
fastboot boot recovery
or also in the bootloader screen you can press vol+ button untill you see Recovery mode then hit Power button.
The most important point is After flashing a Custom Recovery you must flash the vbmeta with Verity command To make it permanent. Otherwise it'll just revert back to Stock Recovery. (This method only works in Color Os (ie., Android 9), for RealmeUI you need additional thing to do)

Where do we get this vbmeta from? I'm having the same problem, that after flashing twrp.img it just reboots back into fastboot mode. Is this because Secure Boot is enabled and does vbmeta disable that?

After flashing recovery via cmd, you will go back to fastboot on your screen. Navigate the volume buttons til it show Recovery mode on top of the screen. Then press power button and it will boot to recovery.

It turned out the problem was Orangefox. With TWRP it booted into Recovery fine when I selected that option but with Orangefox it would just reboot into fastboot. I'll try some different versions of Orangefox sometime but for now my biggest problem is that it's impossible to set a Lock Screen PIN/Password, let alone use FingerPrint. It seems unlocking the bootloader breaks the security settings.

whats orangefox ? did u found a fix !

I rooted 5i and no use your code. I follow this video
Some code:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery REALME5i.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
adb reboot recovery
