Guest eBug Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hello, I'm part of a bunch of people on xda trying to flash a custom cwm recovery on Acer Iconia A500 and we think we can use part of your work to do that, if you don't mind. ATM, we're trying to find out how the partition table is on the Transformer, more exactly what is the mount point for recovery partition. Is it /dev/mmcblk0p4 ? Thank for your help Also could you paste the output of the 'mount' command on your tablet ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DjDevine Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Does this recovery work with the latest firmware? If it doesn't can I use one from someone else but install Modaco Rom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I'll update this to a 'blob'. :unsure: P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The-Kevster Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'll update this to a 'blob'. :unsure: P So this version of clockworkMod is customised for the Transformer where as the other release of 3.0.2.8 isn't. I'm guessing that based on 3.0.1.4 doesn't backup the /sdcard/ directory where as 3.0.2.8 does. Looking forward to the blob version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The-Kevster Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I'll update this to a 'blob'. :P P Any luck with this Paul? I'll even buy the app if it helps motivate you :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LinuxGuy81 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I am one of the unfortunate people who recieved a transformer with android 2.2. I am trying everything i can to avoid having to return. I tried Paul's CWM and it boots, but the power button won't select any of the menu options. I am an advaced linux user, but i am new to android. I am looking at a tutorial to "roll my own" cwm. I am unsure if this would fix the power button issue. I am hoping i can install the MoDaCo rom. <crosses fingers> Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fisha21 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Sadly, I'm also one of those who can't get this to work. Am running the .3.9 FW (downgraded from .3.13). Have put the file on sdcard, renamed as directed. Confirmed the sdcard has been mounted and used Root explorer to confirm the file is on the microSD and named correctly. Power off, then reboot into recovery by holding down key, followed by up key. I get the "unpacking" animation for a second, then the "Android with exclamation mark" symbol. Very frustrating!! NVM, ended up using rayman and bumble-bee's method - more complicated but works well! Edited May 23, 2011 by fisha21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can i simply decline the 3.13 upgrade or will it autoinstall it? Edit: Was under the impression you had to edit some scripts or something with the V5 blob, turns out that wasn't the case, so piece of cake :P Edited May 27, 2011 by thla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chinren Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Like some posters here, clockworkmod will only show me the android bot with a tie and the exclamation mark. I'm so frustrated I can't use my transformer right now. I'm a foreigner living in China and here, the stock image come without Gmail/Gtalk/Android Market apps. Since my build number is a CN one I can't upgrade to another official FW from Asus. I'm really counting on the clockworkmod brought by Paul to flash MoDaCo Custom ROM. Thank you very much for the good work ! Ha! I hear you! I'm also in China, and also with the Chinese version, so I really want to flash this to an English version. (I even became a premium member to use the baking thingy). However, yeah, also just get Mr. Droid with the exclamation above his head when I try to load clockwork. Sigh. My build is: CN_epad-8.2.3.13-20110511 As an aside, you can download the .apk files for mods from various sites, instead of trying to use the Android market(s) and nearly throwing the thing across the room when it won't let you. :) China rule no. 2 - Nothing can be easy.

Guest Deus_ex11 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 This cwm will only work with build 82261. There is a easier nvflash method now, if all you want is root over on xda and other forums. I might write a one click root gui for it, if there is a need for it.

I flashed mine a long time ago using this method : http://androidroot.mobi/asus-eee-pad-trans...t-cwm-recovery/ Be sure to have a micro sd card in the slot and it's easy to do. If you live in Shanghai, I can even do it for you within 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The link seemed to fail, but this one seems to be the place to go now... http://androidroot.mobi/asus-eee-pad-trans...t-cwm-recovery/ Will this just root it so that I can install a new ROM? I'm still a bit confused over the terminology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still a bit confused over the terminology. The point of this tutorial is to install clock work mode recovery. Once you did this, the exclamation mark will never show up again while booting into recovery mode. Instead, clockwork mode will launch. from this same clockwork mode, you will be able to install any rom you like, especially the english one, without chinese apk market and all the other inconvenience that make your transformer useless right now. I you prefer gtalk or email or whatever for more help, DM me on twitter : @CLU883r cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gteh Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 I seem to be having some trouble. I have a new transformer I just picked up yesterday with 3.1 on it, firmware 8.4.4.5 I copied the cwm zip to my external SD, and named it accordingly, but whenever I try to boot into recovery mode I get the android with exclamation mark. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Furthermore, despite being connected via USB with usb debugging enabled, "adb devices" does not list my device. I am on a Mac. I would be grateful if someone could assist me? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there a Mac equivalent of adb? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lemonoid Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 I have finally decided to put CWM on my TF101 as I need to flash the new update to ICS, I have the primary ICS release and really need the update to fix some bugs, but seeing as I'm rooted, I really need to be able to flash a version that won't break my root, and currently installing the OTA with root doesn't even work. Does anyone know if this will work with ICS? And if not please point me in a direction to fulfill my needs. thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest billpool Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) Hello, Sorry to interrupt but would like to know if my assumption that this will not work on my Asus transformer pad TF700T, Android 4.1.1 with keypad dock? Help appreciated. bill Edited December 2, 2012 by billpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
