Hello,
First sorry for my English, i´m from Spain and i read-speak only a little.
I've been searching for a solution for my problem but i cannot find it.
On Friday when I had in my hands my TF101 (i just in chrome browser) just restarted, and restarted it again in a loop.
The first thing I did was go to Recovery ( CWM Recovery 3.2.0.1 -r1 Roach2010 ) to run a backup .
I try a cold boot, without results.
Then I try to restore to a previous backup and follows restarting.
Next i try was to install the stockrom I had previously installed, the last StockRom recovery from wipes and did the install , reboot the blue bar goes loading screen asus just restarts and restarts and restarts.
I think that the installation can't be completed because the restart.
Then, I do a wipe data/factory reset and I get an error.
I can not delete a file(/data/data/com.asus.reader/cache/files/media_external_file176Satellite.pdf ) and CWM cancel the formatting /data.
I try to make a format / data and I get the same error.
I´ve tried doing all wipes (data can't) installing all my previous buckups. Everything seems to be installed but reboot continue.
Otherwise I tried to connect to the PC ( 3 to be exact) OS: Vista x64, 7, 7 x64, Linux x64, Linux live cd.
I pressed Pwr + Vol + from 6-60 sg, after shutoff my tablet from CWM, connecting the usb cable before or after and no detects the TF101 .
I ordered a new cable, but mine seems to be good and i can charge the TF101 without problems.
I have read as Xda-topics as I can , I haven't seen in any solution to my problem ( CWM Recovery working + no format data + bootloop + pc no connection).
I´m afraid of brick my tablet. Only lives in recovery, no Android (reboot), no apx, no adb.
What can i do to format /data ?
Can I flash from my actual CWM another Recovery (maintaining the functionality of the microsd ) as TWRP? what happend if failed?
Thanks
PD. I really learn a lot with this problem reading yours posts.
Thanks
1.) Put this flashable zip on your Micro SDCard
http://nexfiles.kjonigsen.net/tf101/twrp/twrp2.6-tf101-unofficial.beta.zip
2.) Flash it from inside CWM Recovery
3.) Reboot tablet into recovery, check that TWRP is the new recovery
4.) Copy this ROM on to MicroSD Card
http://downloads.timduru.org/android/tf101/K.A.T/KatKiss/dev/KatKiss-4.2.2_226.zip
5.) Copy Gapps onto Micro SDCard
http://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/eos4/gapps/gapps_4.2.2_TF101_20130323b.zip
6.) Boot into TWRP recovery
7.) Wipe SYSTEM, DATA, CACHE, DALVIK CACHE
8.) Flash ROM, Flash Gapps,
9.) Wipe CACHE and DALVIK CACHE one more time
10.) Reboot into working Jellybean ROM
The above will wipe everything clean and install a fresh JellyBean ROM to your tablet
First thank you very much Detection.
My new usb cable should arrive today and i'll try to apx mode recongnition.
In any case I downloading the files you provided me, but i have one question

Here i must to reboot into new recovery from old recovery. Not need reboot tablet to OS (bootloop) ¿ok?
Thanks, thanks, thanks.
Edit:
I do it, i flashed TWRP, reboot and reboot into RCK. ok
Now copying camera data to microsd, and ready for wipes.
Thanks.
Sounds like you are making good progress
No need to reboot into OS, just into new TWRP recovery, then wipe and flash new ROMs etc

Yes, thanks.
I plugged my tf 101 with my new cable and now is detected in windows 7 x64. Naked drivers installed.
But before that, i flash TWRP recovery and it's fantastic. I can copy all my photos to microsd. I need to have this out TF101.
Now i installing the rom and gapps, but seems to be freeze on the four colour circles screen.
More than 20 minutes.
I'm thinking on reflash all an try again.
Thanks Detection.
Make sure you wiped everything before flashing the ROM & Gapps
The animation should not freeze during boot
I do all wipe data, cache, system, dalvik.
flash rom
flash gapps
wipe cache and dalvik
reboot.
and, not freeze but keeps moving and now + 30 minutes.
Something's bad.
I'm thinking on trying apx mode to solve.
Maybe
EDIT - See if it boots without Gapps first (Wipe everything again but only flash ROM)
1.) EDIT - Try this
http://www.putlocker.com/file/42672030BC26BD2F
Use Easyflasher to flash TWRP again, then try wiping and flashing ROM and Gapps again
IF THE ABOVE FAILS DO THIS:
2.) Ok, try this to rebuild the Partitions, this will flash the stock ROM to your tablet, if you have SBK1 (Serial number B6O or before, some B7Os)
http://www.xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=Asus%2FAsus+Transformer+%28TF101%29%2FSTOCK+ROMS%2FICS+.27
Choose US or WW
Connect TF to PC > Power Off TF > Put TF into APX mode (Vol Up & Power)
PC will recognise TF but nothing on TF screen will show
Extract the ROM above > Run download.bat as Admin (Right click > Run as Administrator)
Let it flash the ROM, this takes a while, maybe 10+ minutes
If that works, and you can boot, we can use Easyflasher to root and install TWRP again, and then flash Jellybean ROM again
I tried flashing rom and gapps again. No works, keeps on 4 turning circles screen. I leave it all night connected to AC Power. This morning was in the same screen.
I tried flashing rom, wipes, reboot. No works keeps on 4 turning circles screen. After 1 hour i restarted.
I'm going to try easyFlasher metod. I'll update progress.
My tf101 is B80 that's Sbk2. ok? Then, how can i rebuilt the partitions?
Thanks.
UPDATE 1.
easyFlasher WORKED¡¡¡¡¡¡
Now I'm on Stock.
I flash recovery and also WORKED¡¡¡¡¡
Next work:
Fisrt root
Afteri ready to KatKiss.
UPDATE 2.
Flashed superuser.
Reboot
Flash KatKiss 226 and gapps.
Then not reboot. But coldboot done.
¡¡¡SOLVED!!!
Thanks Detection.
Ok, you can't use NVFlash with SBK2, but you can use Easyflasher
Try using Easyflasher I posted here in SBK2 mode and flash TWRP
http://www.putlocker.com/file/42672030BC26BD2F
Then try wiping everything and flashing ROM and Gapps again
If it still won't work, wipe again and try a different ROM
ROM
http://downloads.timduru.org/android/tf101/K.A.T/KatKiss/4.3.1/dev/KatKiss-4.3.1_028.zip
Gapps (Only for this ROM)
http://downloads.timduru.org/android/tf101/gapps/gapps-KatKiss-4.3_20130914.zip
Here are the particulars.
rooted
Display JZO54K
Fingerprint = motorola/tervigon/wingray:4.1.2/JZO54K/.....
Loaded elementalx - xoom- v1.3 three months ago ran fine. Stupidly, I did not flash a backup. Now after deleting cache, factory reset, stuck in "loading apps" after splash, the boot loops back to motorola screen where I can launch CWM v4.0.0.4 - I want to get a ROM on there and continue using this mission-critical dinosaur. Can someone help?
I guess the real question is can a rom be copied onto the ext-sd card via windows out of the xoom? If so will CWM see it and will it work?
Have not tried connecting and using ADB. Not feeling confident enough at this point. ext SD still has data but when in CWM device does not show up in Windows.
TIA for any help

I pushed a stock rooted rom via ADB (I found the internal sdcard is accessible via the ADB shell) . The stock rom showed up in the CWM select zip file list. Installed the rom and the xoom animation freezes then continues the boot loop - regardless of rom installed. Cleaned system cache and davik cache as well after factory wipe. I am beginning to think hardware issues. No amount of cajoling will get this thing to boot into its OS. Either memory or processor - when it worked, I did have it running incredicontrol and 1.4 ghz and the max memory limitation upped to 64MB in order to run a lecture player for school.
i am new and i decided to flash my p3110 in order to install cm12 with android l... i installed cwm latest version and reset and wiped all cache and dalvik cache and went on to flash. i clicked install from sd card and clicked on my cm12.zip file and nothing much happened and then a warning said no file contexts ext4...................................................something else also.............................................................
then i thought that i should undo all this and go back to touchwiz and then when i rebboted it came back to recovery and i could not even find my backup. now i am stuck on my recovery screen and my device doesnt even shut down confused then i tried various things i downloaded another rom it was the same problem what to do please help fast
Hi
Try posting your question here:
Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Experts of your device may be able to help.
Good luck!
My Current Model is Google Android One Sprout 4.
Hey. My phone started getting system app crashes. So I used Philz Recovery to wipe cache and dalvik cache.
so I got error in wipe cache.
I tried rebooting and it booted by now all the apps just keep crashing . So I went into Recovery again and Tried Format Cache.
Thing is that my cache did format yet the error can't mount cache/logs persisted.
Earlier I had fix such problem by just using SP tool to reinstall stock rom.
I have SP Tool. So I used it to flash stock rom again with scatter files all ok.
But it did not turn on nor did the charging screen came on.
So I tried Lollipop version scatter of sprout4 and both kitkat version using sp tool.
sprout_reference_pack_1379542-KPW53_ALPS.KK2.AOSP.SPROUT.SP.p52-mmx
sprout_reference_pack_1783956-LMY47O_ALPS.L1.SPROUT.SP.p76_user_4g-mmx
Karbonn_Sparkle_V_1783956_Lollipop
Now here is the problem. Sp Tool detects the phone, it flashes using download only. Gets 100% done. But the phone does not saves the rom inside even after it said it wrote successfully.
Tried Format, Format + download. and Download only. But Nothing works even after it's successfully completes.
The Phone does not start except When i plug in my phone even with battery I keep hearing the Connecting and Disconnecting sound constantly every 2 seconds. Do you guys have any idea what could be the cause?
Has Internal memory failed? Or Reading section of motherboard is failed.

Greetings and welcome to assist. It may be a hardware issue but is your bootloader locked ? I found this useful thread of guides
https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...ser-roms-recoveries-kernels-mods-how-t2908298
and this thread of firmwares if it helps

Good Luck

My bootloader is unlocked.
Using FlashTool 0.9.18.6, I flashed "Sony Xperia L C2105 15.3.A.1.17 Generic DE" - FTF, which I downloaded from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/sony-xperia-l-flashable-ftfs-locked-t2560642
Downloaded CM11 from FreeXperia's thread, from that I extracted boot.img and using FlashTool flashed it.
Downloaded CM12.1 from Oliver's thread and moved it into my external sdcard. Using CWM, did a clean wipe (dalvik, cache, data and system), and flashed the zip.
ROM installed and was working fine.
Downloaded CM13 from Oliver's thread and moved it into my external sdcard.
Enabled USB debugging.
Downloaded TWRP 3.0.2-0, from:
https://dl.twrp.me/taoshan/twrp-3.0.2-0-taoshan.img.html
Rebooted into bootloader using adb. And flashed TWRP, using fastboot:
"fastboot flash boot twrp.img"
Rebooted into recovery. The interface was flickering non-stop and the left part was overlapping over the right part and vice-versa, but I managed to factory reset and wipe my dalvik, cache, data, system, sdcard and android secure.
Then I flashed CM13 from my external sdcard.
No errors.
Wiped dalvik, cache and my external sdcard.
Rebooted.
Bootloop.
Rebooted into CM Recovery.
Factory Reset and wiped cache.
Rebooted.
Bootloop.
I have also tested 7.x.x (CM14 and Resurrection Remix) and it also gets me in a bootloop until the battery reaches 0%.
The problem started with Beta 2 of CM13 (anything before it works fine), after I flashed it almost a year ago. I also made a post there at that time about my problem:
"I'm not certain if this is the right thread to ask, and I don't think this qualifies as a bug report, I'm just asking for some help as my phone is stuck on the boot logo forever until the battery runs out (from 90-100% to 0%).
I've previously used CM11, CM12.1 and the previous beta 1 of CM13, but after flashing beta 2 a couple days ago it's just stuck on trying to boot.
The recovery I'm using is TWRP 3.0.2. I wiped my phone completely(the system, sdcard, cache etc). After that I connected my phone to my PC, while on recovery, and copied the ROM zip and GAPPS zip to my external sdcard. I disconnected my phone from the PC. Flashed the ROM and after that GAPPS (Open GApps Platform: ARM / 6.0 / pico). The logs didn't show any error so I wiped the dalvik cache and rebooted the phone. The phone went into the boot logo and now is just stuck there, I waited ~5 hours and it still didn't fully boot after an hour or so the battery ran out. So I decided to do everything again, charging the phone to 100%, wiping the phone completely 10 times(for reasons) and flashing everything the same way(I also downloaded the ROM from a different mirror, and tested both zips for any errors), this time I left it overnight, keeping the charger connected and in the morning it was still stuck on the boot logo. The third time I tried a different GAPPS package(A-GAPPS) and the same result. Can anyone provide some help? Maybe I'm just missing something or being really stupid. I'm sorry for being such a bother."

I made this thread in hope of finding out what's causing this. Any help is appreciated.
It's been almost a year and I still have this problem with newer ROMs. Does nobody have any suggestions, anything at all? Is more information required? I'd be happy to give/do anything*, if it would mean getting these ROMs working.
The only error I've noticed is that after flashing LineageOS 14.1, if I try a fully factory reset through the default "Android Recovery" it will fail and I'll get "E: format_volume: failed to open /persist/footer" (This doesn't happen if I do a factory reset through TWRP).
