[RECOVERY] CWM based recovery v5.5.0.4 + repacked Touch CWM v5.8.1.8

---

ClockworkMod Recovery for the Transformer TF101

NEW: Repack of Koush's touch clockworkmod recovery v5.8.1.8 to address the reboot to recovery issue.

This recovery is not mine and I take no credit for it. I only made a small change to the official recovery found here
and repacked it into a flashable zip.

Here is a diff of the hacky but working fix.

Even though these recoveries have been tested by me, I won't be responsible for any loss of data or any damages done by using it.

IF YOU ARE NEW HERE PLEASE READ THE NEXT LINE VERY CAREFULLY!

See here if you are having trouble with a recovery loop from another version of recovery...

Did you get that? Just in case please read it again before posting about not seeing recovery being updated!

Great work mate
However it would be great to install the updates also from /sdcard and not only from /Removable/MicroSD...I will give a look to that

I'm already on the case, the first post was just a taster of things to come.

Is there a reason that /BOOT is not backed up using Backup/Restore option in CWM. It would make switching ROMS & Kernels much easier. I asked this question in the original CWM thread, but never got an aswer

hi,

good job, how to update the actual clockworkmod recovery ???

I apply the zip from recovery, but update not apply ::(

Regards

Working towards rom manager support too?

Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App

does 3.2.0.1 skip internal storage too?

Also I would really Install Updates from Internal Storage, Install Updates from SdCard that would be awesome if you 2 guys could do that lol

It's not currently backed up by CWM because the transformer has no /boot partition. There is however another way to back this data up so you will see this in a future update.

It does skip internal media unless you put a file called eraseData into the clockworkmod folder on your MicroSD card.

The ability to Install updated from the internal sdcard will be in the next version.
