[RECOVERY] Repacked Clockworkmod recovery v5.8.2.0 + Touch v5.8.1.8

ClockworkMod Recovery for the Transformer Prime TF201

NEW: Repack of Koush's clockworkmod recoveries to prevent a recovery loop when using ROMS that support reboot to recovery.

These recoveries are not mine and I take no credit for them. I only made a small change to the official recoveries found here
and repacked them into update.zip files.

Here is a diff of my somewhat hacky change, but hey it works!

I also replaced the CWM top hat icon to avoid confusing my repacked recovery with the original version.

I am not responsible for any loss of data or any harm caused by using these recoveries especially if small kittens are involved.

IN CASE YOU FIND YOURSELF HERE AS A RESULT OF HAVING A RECOVERY LOOP OR RECOVERY DOESN'T SEEM TO BE UPDATING PLEASE USE THE COMMAND BELOW

Run the following command from your PC then reboot and any new recovery should be flashed by the bootloader and then android should boot.

Code:

adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 count=13

Just in case you missed big red bold line, please read it before posting about recovery not updating or not being able to get out of recovery!

Installation Instructions

Method 1 Flashing through CWM

Download the recovery zip file

Place the recovery zip on the sdcard where clockworkmod can read it.

Reboot into recovery using "adb reboot recovery" or "hold volume down and power for 3 seconds, let go of power only, then press volume up when prompted on screen"

In recovery, select flash zip from sdcard and select the recovery zip you downloaded

Once it has flashed the zip file, be sure to reboot your transformer so it complete the flashing process.

Thx Roach!

paddycr · Apr 16, 2012

Thanks for this Roach. This might be a really obvious question but I take it that the reboot to recovery option will have to be enabled by devs? I am using AOKP and the reboot to recovery option still just reboots the tablet after flashing this. Jermaine will have to enable this option in AKOP for it to work, right?

Thanks again. Btw, I am really excited to see what you and Team Eos do with your rom on the Prime

Yeah, Here's my commit's to enable this on EOS in case it helps. I know it already works on the TF101 so it might just need to be added to your device tree assuming the libcutils work has already been merged to the AOKP repo.

Thanks for putting this out. Works good. Ext-Sd would be cool but we'll let that dev try to update it. Thanks again to help us out!

gerald410 · Apr 16, 2012

Working great on Team Eos thx!

Doktaphex · Apr 16, 2012

Excellent work Roach, well done. I plan on looking into trying to get SDcard (both micro and docked full size) and USB drive support up and running.

Don't hold your breath though anyone, I am extremely lazy.

Thanks mate.

That would be great to see more features and storage support. I'm excited for the possibilities for the Prime and what we can all do for it.

Touch updated 4/16?

Curios as to if the touch recovery was updated today, and if it does in fact let you reboot from android into recovery.. Thanks.

What? Official CWM Touch is still listed as build 5.8.18 on Koush's website. Only new release is the KANG build in the OP (much appreciated by the way

), and as of right now it only works on AOSP Rom.

This seriously needs to get stickied ASAP. I hope fellow Prime owners can appreciate that the devs coming to this part of the forums are some of the very best.

ZebTheCalvinist · Apr 17, 2012

I'm having a bit of a problem... I'm in CWM, which is looping back into itself, and I cannot for the life of me figure out where to enter the code that you provided in the OP. My computer installed the ADB drivers just fine, but I can't see anything in which I can enter that code. Any assistance is appreciated.

Edit: Ok, I figured out that I'm supposed to enter that in the Command Prompt window, but every time I try running the command, I get the following:

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Any ideas?

ZebTheCalvinist · Apr 17, 2012

I'm really stuck on this, guys. If there is anyone who can help me out, I would be in your debt.

Where did you install the adb/sdk files? You need to be in that directory to run the command. In otherwords, if you have adb installed in C:\tools, you need to do this from the command prompt before running the adb commands:

Code:

cd C:\tools

I feel like a total idiot, but I can't find where I installed the ADB files. I have a handful of ADB files from various android projects, but I don't know where the specific drivers for the TF201 are. Is there a way to re-download and install ADB?

The drivers are installed. Adb is adb and not device specific. Do a search on your computer for adb.exe

Ok, I was able to get it figured out. I really appreciate the help.

Yes, I'm running the latest EOS nightly and the reboot to recovery function from the power menu works. I can't speak for any other rom

I'm running jermaines latest aokp build and cannot boot to recovery from directly from the rom. No biggie.
