Hello All!
So my gt540 has already been rooted and fastboot works. I have been running a 2.2 rom flashed through fastboot for a few months now, but I would like to get clockwork recovery working now for the added features of flashing zips and restoring and whatnot.
I have has a lot of trouble finding clear directions on how and what to do to get clockwork recovery on this device. Like I said, I already have root and fastboot is working as well. Can anyone please provide me with instructions on what I need to do from this point?
I have looked at this thread already, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817903, but I am still unsure of what exactly I am to do. Also, the mirrors are broken on this page.
Thank you for your help!
download the app root toolbox from the market
and then download a recovery .img and go to advance
flash recovery, find the file and press on it.
wait until finish and then all done!
Or here are better instructions!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16783348&postcount=1
Installing recovery:
You have multiple choices to choose from.
ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.8 (Recommended)
ClockworkMod Recovery 4.x (Recommended but you may run into incompatible .zip files, download the recovery_clockwork_x.x.x.x_swift.zip file)
Amon RA 2.2.1 (Recommended)
Amon RA 1.7.0.1 (Not recommended due to incompatibility with zip files and recovery backups. Also .zips must be signed)
Download the recovery image of your choice (I strongly recommend Clockwork 2.5.1.8)
Next put your phone in Fastboot mode by rebooting then holding Camera+Power, make sure USB Cable is plugged in. Also let Windows search Windows Update for drivers.
Download fastboot.exe from here: http://adf.ly/2M8Hi and extract it to the desktop. Also put the recovery image you downloaded onto the desktop too.
Be sure to have your fastboot drivers installed, if you use Vista/Windows 7 then the driver should be auto-downloaded from Windows Update, if you use XP or the drivers won't install from Windows Update, then look at this.
Open a command prompt and type the following:
Code:
cd Desktop
fastboot devices (if you see ? fastboot then your device is recognized)
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot reboot
When fastboot says rebooting, hold down HOME and wait. You should see clockwork pop up. Recovery is now on your phone. You can delete the fastboot, kdz and recovery file from your pc because we won't be needing them again. Unless you need to use fastboot.exe again, but just download the fastboot.zip again if you need it) The other files, we don't need.
(NOTE: If your phone reboots with no boot logos (LG logo and animation), or when you flash recovery and it doesn't come up, follow the steps found here. Thanks to fishears for the post!)
Now, installing custom ROMs. Pick any ROM you'd like from the ROM Development section, if you can, get the recovery version, it is much easier to install. Determine if it is a recovery backup, or update.zip
Recovery backups usually contain some .img files and a nandroid.md5 file. The folder containing these files will need to go in the sdcard\clockworkmod\backup folder. Flash them by going to Backup/Restore>Restore>Then pick the backup folder.
Recovery update.zips contain three (or four) files/folders:
boot.img (file)
install-busybox.sh (file, only appears in SOME ROMs)
system (folder)
META-INF (folder)
DO NOT EXTRACT THESE, just put the .zip file on your sdcard, then go into recovery and go to install .zip from sdcard>choose .zip>pick the .zip you downloaded. (NOTE FOR SWIFTDROID: You MUST put the update-cm-xxxxx.zip file found in the SwiftDroid_x.x.x.x_Recovery.zip on your sdcard for it to install!!!)
THANKS TO EFFORTLESS FOR INSTRUCTIONS!!

I have exactly the same problem. Then i restored by backup, and now WiFi and Bluetooth, are not working! Also the phone freezes on Google logo for about 30 seconds, and then it starts. And also my PC doesnt recognize the phone as a media device. :'(
try with cwm, or download factoy images, extract the tar,then extract image-occam-krt16o.zip,boot your phone into fastboot mode,open fastboot and type fastboot erase system, fastboot erase boot, copy the extracted files to the same folder as fastboot and type,fastboot flash system system.img,fastboot flash boot boot.img,reboot. u may need to update radio/bootloader.
PS; if u dont care losing data just flash stock from google with flash-all.bat(included in the .tar).

just copĂ˝ the extracted files of that zip into the same folder as fastboot.
example: your fastboot is located at c:\fastboot and the zip u extracted is on c:\user\download\factoryimg\zipfilesextractedhere
then u copy all the files from the c:\user\download\factoryimg\zipfilesextractedhere to c:\fastboot
Here are the Backup files from TWRP.

I can't understand what you mean. If you want to install stock rom from TWRP recovery, you have to modify updater-skript.
Why do you can install only the twrp recovery 2.8.7.7, when we have the twrp recovery 3.0.0.2
File img you can flash from fastboot mode. Commands:
fastboot flash system file.img
fastboot flash recovery file.img
fastboot flash boot file.img
or
fastboot boot file.img for example twrp recovery img or stock recovery img. This is command for once booting.
I want to return to original firmware , i download it from the site of asus. So, i booted twrp in fastboot mode (i tried different version of twrp, but the only that starts is the 2.8.7.7 version) using adb.
Now i am in recovery with twrp 2.8.7.7. I can push using .zip files or img files on internal storage.
But i have different problems with this recovery:
IF i use wipe function: error opening sys, could not mount, enabe to mount, ... (failed)
If i install rom or firmware with zip files: error unable to mount, unable to find partition for path.... (failed)
Adb sideload goes failed too.
What should i do???
I think that the problem is in the internal partition... I have to install using a min usb ext storage? or what????? thanks :fingers-crossed:

Easiest way to fix your phone is flash stock rom from stock recovery. Stock rom put to sd card. Reboot to stock recovery and choose flash rom from sd card. New version number system must be the same or higher than installed in the phone.
Do you want to return to the lower version of Android.

Stock recovery doesn't work man. The only recovery that works is the twrp 2.8.7.7. But it has problems.

Do you have Lollipop or Marshmallow and what is your version number.
For Marshmallow you need to this working twrp recovery.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7F3ZXr565GkY28yUjhfRkd5MUk/view?usp=drivesdk
For Lollipop you need to this working twrp recovery.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7F3ZXr565GkY1NQbUtoVzdwWEU/view?usp=drivesdk
If you haven't installed stock recovery, it's not no problem. You can it flash from fastboot mode.

How did you flash the file twrp.img.
OK guys I've solved the problem. I moved in this way:
1) Volume up + power to go in fastboot mode
2) after installing adb and the other drivers, i've insered these commands:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
3) after downloading twrp version 3.0.0 (for the zenfone 2 laser), I load it using the command "fastboot boot (name file twrp).zip"
4) the recovery starts automatically. Now i downloaded the file "back2stock.zip" and the original firmware (WW, worldwide) form the official site of the Asus
5) this passage is the most important:using 7zip I've extracted the file zip of the firmware and the backtostock, then i created a new file using 7zip : in this new zip i've loaded the files inside back2stock and the files file_contentexts, system.new.dat, system.patch.dat, boot.img e system.trasfer.list inside the zip of the official firmware
6) I've loaded this new file on the phone using the command "adb push (new file name).zip /"
7) at last i have installed this file on the phone ENJOY it
