Hi everyone!
I'm proud to present CWM recovery for our beloved TF300T !
Code:
#include
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about this recovery
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
HOW TO FLASH?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Requirements:
TF300T
Fastboot (Included in Android SDK, or Google for a recent version. SDK is the best way to go.)
Unlocked bootloader (look on Asus Support Download)
Step-by-step guide
Download the right CWM version. If you are running official Jelly Bean ASUS rom, you need the Jelly Bean version. Otherwise, take the normal version.
Unlock your bootloader with Asus Unlock app
Connect your tablet to your computer
Shutdown your tablet
Hold Power + Vol Down until a message appears (it doesn't appear anymore on Jelly Bean bootloader) ("Press Vol. Up to enter RCK (5s)") : DON'T PRESS VOL UP
After 5 seconds, a new menu appears (if it's not already there). 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)
At this point, your computer should recognize Fastboot device (Windows will notify you here, OSX/Linux stays calm)
Flash recovery image with fastboot: fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img (if we suppose recovery.img is in your current directory)
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 either press Vol Up before the 5s timeout or press Vol Up on the "RCK" icon. After a few seconds, you'll be in CWM interface.
FAQ
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Can I backup/restore at anytime?
Yes, you can use all CWM features without any restriction.
- Can it break something?
Even in case of error during fastboot, only your recovery partition will be broken. You can reflash it as many times as you want via fastboot, and even with a broken recovery partition you can still successfully boot your tablet.
- Does this bring root?
See second post.
- Does it work with any firmware?
Yes.
- I wiped everything but didn't put a ROM on my sdcard, what to do?!
Calm down, you're not bricked, you're just a bit dumb. Go in "Install zip from sdcard" until you reach list files, so the sdcard is mounted. Then, open a command prompt, and do "adb push c:\path\to\the\rom.zip /sdcard/". Wait, and once done your rom.zip will appear in the files list when you go back and forth in files list.

After flashing CWM, you might also want root. It's easy, just flash the attached zip
REFLASHING STOCK ROM

Click to collapse
At anytime, as long as you have CWM installed, you can flash Asus' official stock ROMs.
Unzip ONCE the ZIP you download from Asus. You should have another zip. Flash this ZIP with CWM.
WOW thanks!
My bloody bootloader is still locked!!!

So... Why is this part Windows only? I have the Linux version of ADB and Fastboot, and I've never had any problems. I'm not trying to brick my tablet, though, so I'll heed the warning since you're the dev. But this is very disappointing because I don't have Windows. Is there a method to flash this in Linux? I was under the impression that fastboot was the same regardless of OS.
I pressed thanks, but I wanted to say it too.
Thanks very much

Successfully unlocked, but when I get to "starting fastboot usb download protocol" I either get cannot load '0x0B05' or waiting for device. I'm not new to fastboot or adb, been using on my galaxy s and nexus for a long time. I get adb to see my device when its on. Do I need to manually set the driver in fastboot mode?
(NOOB ALERT)
So for step 7 where do I put the .img?

Is 0x0B05 supposed to be vendor ID?

has anyone confirmed that the TF300t is capable of running the Transformer Primes custom roms?
I would not try it unless the dev confirms it. Usually you can not run a custom rom for another device even if its in the same family.

Hi, i just got my Galaxy Nexus and unlocked+rooted it with the Toolkit v6.1.
Then i flashed CWM Recovery and tried flashing a Rom (Slim ICS), but i got the error: E: Can't open /sdcard/Base_3.6.zip (bad) Installation aborted.
What is also unnormal: I can't boot into Recovery normally. When i try to get into recovery via Fastboot, i get Screen with a green Android, laying down, chest open, with a red sign in it. Well, doesnt look so good...
I was only able to recovery when i flashed it via Rom Manager and then booted to it via Rom Manager. Whats also strange: After Wiping & trying to flash (back @ stock settings), the recovery seemed to be gone again. I had to reflash it again via Rom Manager, to make it work.
I got the impression, that there is something wrong with my phone's permissions. Any ideas how i can fix that?
Thx for the help!

thats the problem, flash the recovery via fastboot. rom manager really sucks, im surprised so many people use it. in the end, it causes more headaches than it prevents. btw, you should try twrp recovery instead, its much better than cwm recovery.
Please don't use toolkits or all-in-one's or one-click's unless you understand what they do and how they do it. There's simply no need for a toolkit on this device.
Code:
> fastboot oem unlock
> fastboot flash clockworkmod-recovery.img recovery
Then you know that it's done, and done properly. I bet if you do that, you'll then be able to boot directly into recovery.

So I flashed JB (http://theunlockr.com/2012/07/23/nearly-aosp-jelly-bean-rom/) on my phone and apparently this one doesn't have the play store or a functioning camera so I decided to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738197 instead.
Now when I go into my bootloader and choose recovery mode, it shows me a picture of a droid with a red exclamation triangle and won't let me do anything.
What do I do? I'm going nuts

edit: I can't seem to get CWM cause I don't have rom manager installed on the phone (there is no play store) and when I try from the browser, it says it's already installed.

That's the stock recovery. If you want to flash custom ROMs, flash CWM recovery. Flash it via Fastboot.

That is the stock recovery. If you want to flash the official OTA, press vol down and power keys to get to the Recovery menu, otherwise, install CWM to flash custom TIME.

What zip? No. Download the cwm.img (I've downloaded it and attached to this post...) and put it in the same folder as Fastboot on your PC. Connect your phone to the PC and reboot it into Fastboot mode. Then enter the code I put above.
If you have no idea what "Fastboot" is (getting that impression), like I said, you need to read a bit more and learn it. THEN come back and flash your phone.

You open up the command line, and navigate to the file path where fastboot and the img are. You then input that line of code and hit enter. It'll then flash it. You can then reboot via "fastboot reboot".

Yes, open a normal command line, and navigate to the folder that has Fastboot in it. You don't actually click fastboot.exe ever. You use it from the command line. It doesn't have a UI, its not a program in that way. Its a command line tool.

Hi guys I am a new user to xda-developers and I am a noob still at rooting and flashing. What happened is that I had rooted my htc one x tegra 3 international version a couple of days back as i wanted CM10 Alpha 9. It did work but then I wanted to get the CM 10 Alpha 11 after flashing i don't know what happened now my boot screen is only in the CM 10 loading logo and I accidently deleted clockwork recovery (don't ask me how I am an idiot) and when i connect my usb for fastboot it gives a "no device found" error when i give any command in the command prompt and its like i cannot even do anything on my phone like flash a new recovery through fastboot or flash any rom. I mean my phone is literally not working. Can you guys tell me what to do because I have been through many threads here and none of them have helped me maybe because I am an amateur.
I really want my phone to work and I have been trying for the past 3 days and no luck at all :crying:

Make sure you have all the correct drivers installed on your pc.
when you plug your phone in bootloader and then fastboot
it should say fastboot usb on your phone
if you have adb and fastboot it should recognise it then, you can flash recovery
try the command
fastboot getvar cid
and see if it comes back with your cid then you will know its working
failing that you can restore it back to stock using an RUU.
ive added some drivers for you.
put them in a folder on your desktop,
Go to fastboot andif your pc cannot find you a driver automatically , then go to device manager, and look for your device then right click and click update. then browse for driver manually and select the folder on your desktop, worked for me
Do You open the command prompt exactly in the folder where the adb drivers are? Left shift+ right click on the folder where the adb files are. Then "open the command prompt here".
Try to command: "fastboot devices" and look what it says

Hey thank you for the helpful reply much appreciated. The usb driver is fine as it says "My HTC" so thats fine. I relocked my phone through fastboot somehow that worked yay! But its weird the fastboot commands work but not adb is there something wrong i am doing, whenever i type any adb command it comes with "no device found error." Plus when I flashed clockwork recovery through fastboot commands it says its successful but it doesnt go there it goes back to the cm10 boot loop. Im guessing because adb is not working or something it must be because of that.

Yes with fastboot its working i get my HTC device but not with adb. Whats the difference anyway im sorry i am a noob so I dont know but I think its important to have adb working or I can't run any recovery right because with fastboot I can flash a recovery but the recovery won't start.
Adb is just a tool which allows the phone to communicate with the computer. If you have rooted your phone you must have it in your computer. It should be in place where you installed SDK drivers. SDK/platform-tools/.

Okay so I managed to get adb working too. Thanks guys but now i flashed CWM Recovery which works and tried to flash CM10 Alpha 11 but again its stuck in the CM10 loading screen. I guess I should now get my stock RUU and install that because I cannot get any custom rom to boot, am I right? That means relocking the phone and getting the stock recovery image. I need to know which stock recovery image to download is it the 1.29.401.7 or 1.29.401.11? I am pretty much guessing the 1.29.401.11 recovery image. And my stock Radio is 2.1204.135.20 which is the European model because I used to get OTA updates before I started rooting and stuff. And I need to be careful if I am doing the correct installation.

If you use Ruu.exe (Rom Update Utility) then you do not need to flash boot.img. It will return your phone to stock. Put boot.img in as well as stock recovery.

So in the rush to get CyanogenMod installed on my newly-S-Offed phone, I downloaded CWM from the appstore and started looking through the various devices to flash ClockWorkMod Recovery to. I selected the vanilla HTC One, not the verizon-specific model. I have not yet rebooted my phone yet, but I am worried that doing so will brick the phone since I technically don't have the right bootloader. Looking through CWM's list on my phone, there is not a verizon-specific model bootloader. There is one on Cyanogen's site (can't post the link due to XDA restrictions), but it appears to involve rebooting the phone. How should I go about safely flashing a good bootloader onto my phone?

CWM is a custom recovery, not bootloader. Download your choice of CWM or TWRP, reboot into the bootloader and use Fastboot to flash it.

I am referring to ROM Manager from the android app store. When you bring it up it asks you to flash your bootloader. The bootloader I selected was the one for the Vanilla HTC One.
I don't use ROM Manager, but I just installed it on my phone. The prompts all refer to recovery, and make no mention of bootloader. See below.

Its most likely referring to the recovery, not the bootloader; Assuming you're root, Rom Manager is there to flash custom ROMS and custom recoveries. I don't think you'll have bricked your phone if you installed a bad recovery, but I think your best bet would be install a compatible one manually.
SO pick a thread and follow the directions under installation:

Well my phone will reboot safely, which is good.
However, rebooting into fastboot or recovery just reboots into normal mode. Recovery will say the first time that it's going into recovery, but will reboot again and go into normal.
Thoughts?
Success! I just had to keep scrolling. there was a version in Rom Manager, all the way down at the bottom under "m7vzw." Flashing that did the trick.
Thanks for the help.

The S-Off exploit removes stock recovery, so it will go nowhere until you flash CWM or TWRP. Fastboot will work regardless.

Success! I just had to keep scrolling. there was a version in Rom Manager, all the way down at the bottom under "m7vzw." Flashing that did the trick.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers.

All that said, I can now boot into recovery no problem, but typing "adb reboot fastboot" just reboots the phone normally. Any idea why that might be?
I've never used that command personally. I have Quick Boot (Reboot) from the market and use it for getting into recovery and fastboot from Android.

Do you have fastboot unchecked under power settings? Phone doesn't totally reboot with that checked.

adb reboot recovery = takes you to recovery
adb reboot bootloader = takes you to fastboot/booloader
I don't believe adb reboot fastboot is a command, so it just does adb reboot
I cant format,update,or enter revovery mode.Ive tried to turn off the phone and do that power button and volume up.Then i go press recovery,then the phone restarts and go to the same screen.Theres no error thingy showing.
Hi,
Reflash your recovery via fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [color="red"]recovery.img[/color]
Replace recovery.img with your prefered recovery's filename.

You mean using conputer?
New Z00A ZE551ML 3.15 firmware can't upgrade OTA manually
I have the same problem, although it is not likely the drivers.
When attempting to sideload the full firmware image, it errors out after a few seconds, stating that it cannot detect the device. I reboot the phone manually, then reboot bootloader from command prompt. try again and the same thing happens. First, I tried placing the file on an sd card, renaming it to MOFD_SDUPDATE but it failed after 25% and left me with the screen showing the "unplugged" icon. Now I cannot enter recovery at all. Attempted root, tethered, untethered, and no luck with any. I used an app before trying any of this to make sure it was not rooted or unlocked already. I'm running out of ideas. When I get home, I will try flashing just the droidboot.img as suggested in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/unlock-bootloader-read-fix-t3138837.
Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. As I said my phone has
VERSION: WW-ASUS_Z00A-2.15.40.13 and failed to manually upgrade to 2.19.40

No, I mean USB Driver, for real. You can't do anything related to debugging without having the related drivers installed.

If you are getting the USB logo on your screen you're sh!t out of luck as it is a hard brick... You'll need to send back to ASUS to get rom put back on phone...

I was very fortunate that it would still boot into the bootloader. As a result I was able to fix using these instructions and pre-rooted images, including an Asus recovery image:

Also, if anyone else attempts this fix, download the images using Google Chrome or it will error out, fail checksum
