Just rooted by Transformer with latest root method. Everything works and I have root.
Also flashed CWM from the guide.
Problem though: I can't boot into Clockwork Recovery. I've tried
Code:
# reboot recovery
no joy.
How do you get into it? Thanks.
power + vol down, then press vol up when prompted to do so.

Awesome for these Roms [Ti-X and Prime] do you have to do a full wipe, or do you just Flash them over your existing install?
I flashed prime (it has the latest OTA) without a wipe and it worked fine.

What about clearing Cache/Dalvik Cache like you have to on phones?
Nope. None of that so far.
Ok I flashed 3.1 and i forgot to wipe ddata and now i have bootloops how can i reboot into recovery and do that or can i use adb NOOB):
Use adb to boot into recovery, adb reboot recovery, and wipe the data using recovery. I did the same thing and felt like a noob too

What if my PC dosnt recognise the device as ADB how to fix this?
I had the same issue as you and thought I was screwed. I redownloaded the 3.1 file., reflashed it and the bootloader file right after then did the data wipe and rebooted.
If you hold the power button + the volume up button it'll reboot the xoom. Count to three after u see the Motorola logo and press the volume down key. After that u should see the words recovery on the upper left of the screen. Press the volume up button to select it and it should take u straight to recovery.

1ยบ of all. Can you plug your RAZR to your PC and use it as mass storage?
If you can, download this ROM then copy the rom to your SD and flash it.
no
i just flashed something from fastboot
waiting for results
Try a full reset
Turn the phone
Press the buttons Vol + and Vol - simultaneously press and hold on/off key.
In the boot menu press Vol - to select the Recovery option
Press both volume buttons to confirm
If done correctly you should see a screen with the Motorola logo and an image of an android and an exclamation
Press both volume buttons, with this other menu should appear
Select the option to wipe data / factory reset
Press the volume button to confirm
In the next menu select Yes and confirm again with the power button.
Wait for the full reset is performed, select Reboot and confirm with button.

Hi! I had Android 3.1 on my TF101 and it was already rooted, I updated CWM to 6.0 and in recovery I can't mount storage, and I can't do anything...when trying to reboot it stucks at the boot logo (I think i formatted, wiped system but not sure). And when I trying to do a Factory reset, it freezes at: Formatting /data... So? Can somebody help me please? Oh, and when I trying to reboot with power, and volume down, it says something like this: Press Vol Up to enter recovery in 5 secs. If I dont press it, it brings me to a menu, like this: Press vol up to execute, ot vol down to skip wipe. I've tried both options but I think it freezes...or I didn't wait as much as it needs (10 mins about)??

Hiya have you tried this yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
this should get you back to a fresh start but whay where you trying to do?
I'm guessing you used ROM Manager to install CWM.
Use EasyFlasher as noted by all43 to install a working recovery - I highly recommend TWRP. Then put your ROM on a microSD formatted for FAT32z
Boot to recovery (VOL DOWN and POWER for 12-15 sec, then tap VOL UP to enter RCK)
Then wipe cache, Davlik, format system and factory reset.
Install ROM and if applicable GAPPS and Kernel.
Reboot
Profit
Thanks, Easy Flasher solved my problem
Had a problem. Hope someone with experience can give me a few answers.
Nave new t-mobile Note 3, SM-N900T. Stock 4.4.2 KitKat Touchwiz rooted.
Rooted to enable SDFix to use SD card as I want to use it.
Everything great! No problems.
Thought it would be wise to have a Nanoid backup.
Opened Rom Manager and made One change in prefrences. I set it for external SD card storage. (mistake?)
Went to 'Backup current Rom' in Rom manager, started it and it started to reboot. Shut down and restarted in a 'Recovery' boot loop??
No matter what I did, Tried holding power, up volume and home button, nothing. Boot loop continued. Removed battery, waited, as soon as I re-installed battery it instantly went back into recovery boot loop.
I don't know what I did, I kept removing battery and trying again and again and all of a sudden, it booted up back to KitKat and now everything is working great again. No problem on any standard reboot.
What happened? I have used this same set up on my S3 and never had a problem.
I would like to backup the current setup for any future problems. But now, I'm afraid to even try.
I removed Rom Manager and re-installed. Made sure that the storage location was reset to internal and it should be OK??
What did I do when I got out of the Recovery boot loop??
So, afraid to try again. Don't want the boot loop again.

Hi. What recovery are you using?
If you haven't installed a custom recovery, then that explains your issue. Basically, the app scheduled a custom recovery script which kept failing in the stock recovery. You should normally be able to reboot into the system holding the power button, thus skipping going to recovery. This also resets the recovery script so everything is back to normal.
Nandroid is normally only possible using a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM.
I saw that you might be able to perform a Nandroid without restarting the phone (so without a custom recovery) using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup&hl=en
I have never tried it. Looks promising though.
But please note that you won't be able to restore the backup without a custom recovery.
EDIT: If you do have a custom recovery, why not boot in recovery mode and make the backup from there?
Cheers
Recovery Boot Loop Problem
I have CWM installed. Setup thru Rom Manager as I have done before on other phones.
Tried it again, same thing. Over and over. Constant reboot. Dosen't matter if I hold the power button or try different ways, same thing.
It says: Recovery booting
Recovery is not seandroid enforcing
Set warranty bit:recovery
If I remove battery and wait a couple of minutes, I can install battery and it dosen't start till I hold power button.
So I held volume down, home button and power button and booted into download mode. From there I cancelled and it rebooted normally.
Everything I've read on boot loops always say 'boot into recovery'. I only wish I could. That's the bootloop.
Any idea on what's wrong?
Thank you for your time and trouble.

Have you tried booting directly into recovery?
So just shut off your phone and then open it by holding volume up + home + power. It should boot into recovery. If it doesn't, I recommend installing cwm or TWRP using Odin instead of Rom manager.
Might be a problem with your current recovery.

Yes, I tried. Does the same thing.
I've never used Odin. All the info I've read mentioned downloading USB drivers and using different .tar files. Checking this and that.
Nothing I've ever done.
No experience with it.
Never had a reason before to use it.
Every instruction website I've read all seem to be different.
I'm gonna have to find out, huh? lol
I've got Odin on my computer, and have the CWM 6 zipped file.
Will do some research.
Thanks

No problem.
A few tips with odin:
-If you have Kies installed, you don't need to install other drivers.
-The file you flash with Odin should have tar or tar.md5 extension
-you have to activate USB debugging from developer options.
-boot your phone into download mode
-run Odin as administrator
-connect your phone. you should see the text Added in Odin. If don't see it, you need drivers.
-you should make sure only auto reboot and f. Reset time are checked
-you should put the file in Pda or Ap(if using latest version)
Click start and wait until it finishes. It will restart itself if you checked auto reboot.
That's about it. It's very safe and easy to use.
Watch some videos on YouTube. You will definitely find some.
Cheers

Update: The install of CWM with Odin seemed to be successful. Still have same problem.
I believe the problem must be somewhere else.
Something is stopping the recovery boot. More research ahead.
When I find out more, will post here and give update.

Strange. You could try TWRP instead of CWM. I use TWRP and really like it:
Here is the download link for your device: http://www.techerrata.com/file/twrp2/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.2.0-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
This is the Odin flashable recovery.
Here is TWRP page: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/
EDIT: One more thing. Are these the exact steps you are following when booting into recovery?
"To access recovery mode on your Note 3, turn off the device and press Volume Up+Home+Power buttons at the same time for about 4-6 seconds. When the screen lights up and you see the Samsung logo, release the Power button but keep Volume Up+Home keys pressed until you see the recovery menu screen"
Cheers

Yes, if I use the buttons, the download mode comes up saying 'Boot failed'. That's holding the vol. button 'up'. If I hold vol. down, it loads download mode correctly.
If I try to enter recovery thru Rom Manager, Recovery tries to start and the boot loop starts. ??
I may try TWRP. I've heard a lot about it.
Thanks for the links.

Success!! TWRP works!!
Installed with Odin and it started up fine. Backed up system on my Ext. SD card and rebooted back to OS.
Perfect!
Don't know what happened to CWM but problem is solved thanks to your help.
If your ever in Winter Haven, Fl area, I'll buy you a steak dinner.
Thank you.
