Flashing ROMs/Mirror Links - Sending Files in CWM Via ADB! & Flashed TF201 Recovery?

Flashing ROMs/Mirror Links - Sending Files in CWM Via ADB! & Flashed TF201 Recovery?

I'm seeing alot of people are having issues with people loosing system images/soft bricking devices but its all avoidable!

If you download a Custom ROM also make sure you download the latest ASUS Stock ROM



If you create a folder on your internal SD called ROMs if anything happens you can always flashboot CWM and then you can use CWM to install new ROMS.

At the moment we dont have mount via USB or external SD so if you loose access to your internal system you could be stuffed without these files.

Also make sure you create a CWM backup





Pushing files in Recovery via ADB


Step 1: Boot into recovery ( To access it, shutdown your tablet and press Power + Vol Down, then press Vol Up before the 5s timeout)

See Picture: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_7VIwxjudWvUWRJRmpOd3M4WFk

Step 2:Open Windows device manager and you will probably see https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_7VIwxjudWvNUhOVWVmSDhjWjA Transformer device listed but not mounting in ADB Devices.

Step 3:Download the ASUS USB Drivers from https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_7VIwxjudWvLTJuQnlZU1B1TVU and extract them to where you want.

Step 4: Watch this video to install the ADB Drivers https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_7VIwxjudWvXzJmT09RZjlPdlE

Step 5: Using ADB "Adb Push c:\romfolder\rom.zip /sdcard" wait for it to finish then using recovery you should be able to flash it now.



Flashed TF201 Recovery in ROM Manager?


Follow these steps to recover your semi-bricked TF300T Tablet All the files you need are in the ROM Mirrors link. You need to make sure you have installed the drivers as above to be able to send recovery via Fastboot. You need our TF300T Recovery and the Asus Stock ROM.

Step 1: We need to flash our recovery onto the tablet. As you probably have already done this I have copied the info from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1668173 Thanks to XpLoDWilD for this!


Step-by-step guide

1. Unlock your bootloader with Asus Unlock app
2. Connect your tablet to your computer
3. Shutdown your tablet
4. Hold Power + Vol Down until a message appears ("Press Vol. Up to enter RCK (5s)") : DON'T PRESS VOL UP
5. After 5 seconds, a new menu appears. Press Vol Down once to change to the USB icon, then press Vol. Up to validate (you have to do this in less than 10 seconds, otherwise your tablet will boot Android OS)
6. At this point, your computer should recognize Fastboot device (Windows will notify you here, OSX/Linux stays calm)
7. Flash recovery image with fastboot: fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img (if we suppose recovery.img is in your current directory)
8. Once the operation is done, type fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot to reboot your tablet

You now have CWM installed. To access it, shutdown your tablet and press Power + Vol Down, then press Vol Up before the 5s timeout. After a few seconds, you'll be in CWM interface.

Step 2:Repeat Steps 4-6 to boot back into Fastboot

Step 3:NB: If you have followed what I said about keeping Stock ROMs on the Internal SD Card just use CWM to reflash that and you are done! If not contiune with these steps

Now you need to have the Asus Stock ROM you want to flash, Extract the ZIP so you can see the BLOB file and take note of the location you have extract too! This is the file we will send via Fastboot. You can rename the file to update.blob so it follows the picture below and save into the directory you have your fastboot command.

At the command Prompt type fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system update.blob

Step 4: fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

I have my tf300, acer a100 and my Samsung galaxy blaze all rooted, but have yet to flash a custom rom. if someone can just clarify something that would be awesome

a nandroid back is same thing as backing up current rom threw recovery? Yes

to even get into recovery, do you have to unlock ur bootloader first? if so after you unlock it. will you still receive firmware updates threw Asus ota. If not, is all you do is wait till rom or build.prop gets updated with the same features and just update that way. if not, what the hell do you do then. kinda confused about that lol If you device unlock then you wont get OTA updates, you need to manual install them or install custom ROM

lastly, this might be a stupid question but a custom rom is basically a tweaked
operating system. that has more features then HC or ICS. and all the good stuff like overclocking build in? am i missing any other major features. if im even on the right track in the first place lol

ROMs like CM9 are based off pure Google Code rather than all the tweak/bloatware that Asus put in and yes OC is possible with custom kernals

if anybody can help. will be appreciated
