probz in germany

i posted this prob on a big german android help homepage but it looks like noone can answer my questions. Please be kind to me, as im trying to wirte this problem "understandable" in english.

I really dont know how or where to start but what i can tell is: I flashed a CWM Update with Rom Manager and got stuck for a while, caus i didnt had the time to sit down and take some time to fix / search the net for this prob.

i think ill post an overview of what i know, what i CAN do and NOT
1st : I´ve got an ASUS Transformer TF101G - BA0KA . installed random Custom Roms all over the last months to test and find the best that fits me. Latest i was trying to take the CM9 nightlies and the last i updated was a nightly from the beginning of april (or so)...

#1- I CANT get into CWM anymore (dunno why) but i think its cause of an update error through ROM Manager. There was a popup with something that called "successful" though...

#2- I can cold boot into Android, but.... WHY EVER, i ****ing dont get it... i cant get any acces to my transformer, when i plug in usb cable...

#3- i cant start anything with ADB, because this . usb debug mode wont start, cause of #2-prob...

#4- booting into bootloader (volume down +POWER and wait) - and wipe... doesnt take effect..

#5 using those commands i found in the terminal .... doesnt take effect:

echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0

as well as those other comand... i cannot find right now... dont know where i found them, but i think they made the same ....

only thing is: with those commands: i can use the reboot command, and it successfull reboots, with loading androird directly after bootloader....
I was happy when this worked, but then i tried to get into CWM and PADOWWZ ---> same prob again...

#6 - APX Mode WORKS! i tried it and even installed the driver package form this stupid rootkit tool (sorry mate) , wich doesnt work for my TF101(G!!!!!) dafuq...

#7 i would have posted a pic of my "stuck screen" when i try to start CWM, but i am not allowed under 8 posts in this forum

i hope SOMEONE can help me....

from the look of it, it seems you could use the solution i posted just a few posts above this one. if you can cold boot, that is all you need (and a micro sd card)

i was stuck in the boot loop, with no adb access from recovery.

use terminal emulator to push the rom into staging, then reboot. if you use the links i provided, it will reflash your recovery with roach2010's cwm 3.2.0.1 which is functional. from that point, you should have a "sane" system and be able to adb and do what you wish to do.

i can only vouch for the WW version, that is, my own TF. i don't know if i have a B80, B90 or BWhatever, i don't know where to read that info.


but the bottom line is: if you can cold boot, use terminal emulator to push roms to staging.

(edit)
i just re-read your post, you mention that the command of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0 doesn't work. how did you do it? to me, it made a different if i exited or not prior to reboot. for mine to work, from terminal i typed reboot right after the mmcblk0p3 command.

if this command does get you rid of the bootloop, don't go into cwm yet! just reboot and let android boot normally. THEN use terminal to push roach's 3.2.0.1 recovery into staging (see my post a couple 4-5 posts before this). once you pushed into staging, you should be good to go. do try my steps one by one.

thats all i can do to help.

Can you get ADB working?

I dont know how to use adb, so i'm using "nvflash" method.
when i open "download.bat" file, it close immediately.
my tf101 is b70 model.
how can i unroot my device ?

thanks.

could u please explain me this command line in detail?!!?

4. from terminal, i used your command "dd if=/Removable/MicroSD/roach3201/recoveryblob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

i would really like to use the fixed 5.5.0.4CWM from roach of of his thread.

is this red marked position the zip file?! does terminal open it just as a folder, or what? "Removable/MicroSD/roach3201/recoveryblob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4"

so would it be possible to replace that line with the new zip file - foldeR:
"dd if=/Removable/MicroSD/cwm_recovery-5504_roach-tf101-r2/recoveryblob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4"

You totally saved my bony ass @gee one

for those in my situation that are still stuck.

1. I've re-run the terminal command to re-write the boot recovery flag (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24559092&postcount=6)
2. reboot from terminal (without exit)
3. put this recovery on my microsd: http://goo.gl/RpVJ8
4. from terminal, i used your command "dd if=/Removable/MicroSD/roach3201/recoveryblob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4"
5. reboot from terminal (without exit)
6. (let the tab boot as usual to test there is no bootloop)
7. reboot again and enter recovery (pwr + vol down), then vol up.
8. tada! Roach's recovery 3201, as a proof that old and bad cwm is gone.

ok, im going to reply to my own post so we can have all the steps listed.

step #1 resets the boot recovery flag to 0 (fixes the bootloop). once you ran that in terminal, from your TF. type "reboot". normally, your TF will boot normally (not go in recovery)

the reason i chose to install roach's 3.2.0.1 is because it can mount the micro sd, whereas 5.5.0.4 can only mount the internal sd, but also because my goal was to install something that is proven to be stable.. 3.2.0.1 has been around for some time and roach himself still uses it, so its safe. the goal here is to get your recovery partition into something usable. you can chose the fixed 5.5.0.4 if you wish, but i really cannot say if it will install properly or not (because i haven't tried it). but like gee one said, whatever you choose, choose a rom that has only a recovery partition in it.

step #4 describes the exact line to use from terminal to copy the rom to the staging partition. on my micro sd, i had created a folder called "roach3201" in the root of the microsd and placed the blob called "recoveryblob" in it. the blob itself is in the zip file that you can download from the url of step #3. the "mmcblk0p4" part is the path to the staging, you can leave that as is.

good stuff, glad we sorted it out. in my experience, with this sort of problem, the real difficulty is finding the right version of the right file and doing things in the right order. sometimes its a small detail we missed.

personally ivve decided to revert to stock because i was greatly annoyed by this and realized that i dont really do anything that requires root at the moment.

i don't really have a life in a game world, i play some rocksmith and ufc 3 on the ps3, but that largely varies on what hot games are out now.

'til next time...

Hi,

Right after reading through all the posts on this thread I think I've actually managed to get my transformer working again, big thank you to everyone.

Just want to ask something though, is it just a case of installing the stock asus firmware to go back to the original setting?

Solution to help totally screwed TF101G with CWM 5.5.0.4 - Discovered today! Go into CWM, PC discovers "Transformer" device. I found in somewhere "1-Click Transformer Root_1.1" software. Find, download and unzip. Search manually driver in these folders, inc subfolders. Founds ADB bla bla bla driver... I copied folder "Source" to C:\ and started CMD in Start menu. Go to "Source with CMD. Write "adb start-server" "adb devices" and you could see device 12345.....! I tested command "adb pull /sdcard/ c:\ (or other order, but was smth like that). Old backup files was in C:\ like clockworkmod! And download .zip with full rom and do that:"adb push c:\myromwhateveritnameis.zip /sdcard/" and with CWM install .zip!
This techique worked on my 3 months bricked TF101G today, that's why I registered today here and shared experience. And you do not have to replace your 5.5.0.4, because it is working solution. If you need ask smth about my method, write to my e-mail viljarlaansoo @ hot . ee

Hi guys, I have a Probelm with Clockwerk Moon Recovery V5.8.1.8m

I wanted my Transformer (S / N 80) root again because I had him at Asus in repair, I'm so proceed:

- "1-Click Root Transformer" for root
- "1-Click Root Transformer" for CWM
- "Super Wipe" started for "Android_Revolution_HD-EeePad_3.4.3_3G"
- CWM update to "Clockwerk Moon Recovery V5.8.1.8m"

Since nothing works, CWM only recognizes the internal memory and I get no connection with ADB.

adb does not work, I already tried everything

I hope you can help me.

sorry for my english

Hi, I have this bootloop problem,

I have Transformer TF101
I can boot into recovery.
If i flash any kind of STOCK rom, it boots NORMALLY.
But if i flash any CUSTOM rom, for example with my favourite cyanogenmod 10, it STUCKS at boot logo.
ICS with Cyanogenmod 9 works OK. But jellyBean with 10 does not.

I have tried every help i found but it is still soft bricked.

I think the problem began with Super Wipe script from this topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1245892

EDIT: SOLVED
solved by adb commands through recovery

C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
/ $ su
su
/ # mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
