I'm currently running Prime! v1.3r2 and want to flash up to Prime! V1.4 but I am having some issues/ questions about CWM. The way I remembered, you just powered the device off, then held down vol down and power and it should boot into CWM. When I do this, it boots to a message that says "Press <VOL_UP> to execute or <VOL_DOWN> to cancel wiping data" with a glowing wipe data box at the center of the screen. I'm paranoid to do this and always press the vol down key. I know that I had to use CWM when rooting and flashing to Prime! v1.3r2, but it was super late at night and I was super tired and kind of zombied my way through it. Could someone please shed some light on what I am doing wrong?
Also, when using Rom Manager, when you go into Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, there are alot of devices listed, but no Asus Transformer so I apparently can't load it that way either. Do we use one from another device or are we currently not able to use Rom Manager?
Thanks to any who can help educate me!
Basicly you have to power off ur Transformer, hold down "Power" and "Vol-Down" at the same time and continue holding until some white letters appear on the left upper corner of your TF-display. From now on you have 5 seconds to release the two pressed buttons and press "Vol-Up".

Thank you so much! That worked great. Do you also know the answer to the second part of my question? Lastly, is it necessary to update ClokworkMod Recovery? Currently I have v3.0.2.8 on my TF. Thank you again

ROM manager is not compatible with the TF yet.
ON Prime v1.4 you can flash the optional Power button recovery ad on

In a bit of a bind...
So I finally rooted my Transformer, using the windows method of doing that (using APX), and everything went well. However, it seems I now can't get into recovery mode. I use the Vol Down + power, followed by Vol Up, get the message that it is booting the recovery, but it just sits there spinning.
(Exact message is "Booting recovery kernel image)
I am thinking that said kernel image can't be located.
Sadly, I am now not able to boo the tablet in APX mode to try and fix it.
does anybody have any suggestion? I would like to install clockworkmod recovery, but at this point I am not too sure what to do.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Stuck on "Booting recovery kernel image"
Were you ever able to resolve this issue? I have exactly the same problem. I've tried flashing alternate recovery.img files, but still cannot get CWM to come up.
Thanks!

SOLVED: I finally got past this by using nvflash to rewrite all the partitions and install a new ROM. I used the instructions at
http://tabletroms.com/forums/transf...ment/976-nvflash-unbricking-forever-root.html
which is written for Prime 1.4. This is possibly overkill, because it rewrites ALL the partitions and you lose all data, but since my problem appeared to be related to something other than just the boot loader and/or the system partition, I decided to take the hit. I followed those instructions as is, and got a Prime 1.4 system with CWM working perfectly. Then I just grabbed the latest Prime build and patches and applied them from CWM.
This is a huge relief, as I've been fighting with this for quite awhile. I see that many people have had a similar problem, and on other Tegra based tablets as well. While I haven't tried it, I presume that from this point, I could go back and install stock again, rooted or unrooted, with the BRK's nice tool from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185104
I hope this helps out someone else with a similar problem.

Hey guys,
I'm trying to boot into recovery mode on my Legend, but I've had no success as of now. I've tried using Rom Manager to boot to recovery and I've tried backing up my current Rom as well, but all I get is a phone with a red exclamation mark beside it. I've tried booting into fastboot, (Holding down the volume down button and power button) and hit the "Recovery" button, but still no luck. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
PS: Sorry for posting two threads in two days.
EDIT: Solved. For those having a similar problem, all I had to do was run the recovery once from my PC using the file "Recovery-windows" in the Legend tools. It had to push the recovery files into my Legend again because I factory reset it a couple weeks ago. I've been trying to fix it for hours, love getting to the bottom of things.
This also works:
When you get to the red triangle of doom press volume up and power. Then using the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select choose "install update.zip" (something like that, I honestly can't remember what of actually says) then observe as your phone ends up in recovery.

Hi,
I am new to HTC legend. I have a similar problem, can you please tell me what uyou refer to by "run the recovery once from my PC using the file "Recovery-windows" in the Legend tools." What program is that and how do I get it?
Thanks in advance.
Collectric: have you tried holding the volume up button and then pressing the power button?
For me it takes a few moments of pressing power but then a green box appears and i can move on.
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
Of course I pressed power and volume down, that's basic.
Unfortunately, I made a stupid mistake and tried to replace the recovery file using
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
which was prepare for Samsung phone (having the naive thought that Android is the same Android for every one ).
Since then I lost the possibility to go into recovery mode, and the author of the above mentioned program is not answering me, so now I am tryoing to look for a way to "recover" recovery mode ....
Thanks anyhow...
Well when I rooted my phone with theunlockr.com they gave us a legend tools folder and it has the recovery tools to push the recovery files into the phone which worked for me and I can then go into recovery freely I'll give you the link soon.

EDIT: Okay here it is http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-root-the-htc-legend/ make sure you download ONLY the "Legend Rooting Tools" and ONLY that you don't need anything else. Unzip the Legend Root Folder in the root of C:/ Also please do not follow the steps they mentioned as your phone is already rooted.
Here are the steps you should do:
1. Unzip the Legend Root Folder to "C:/"
2. Go to the folder in the "C:/" it should be called "R4-legend-root"
3. Put your phone in recovery mode using the power + volume down and click recovery in the PHONE not the PC.
4. When you're on the red triangle of doom (Make sure you are!) click "Recovery-windows" in the PC (Again located in the r4-legend-root folder which you unzipped)
5. A black box should come up pushing the files to your phone
6. Your phone should be in recovery mode
7. You can now go into recovery mode freely using ROM Manager instead of the computer like I do.
PS: Sorry for the late reply I was off on vacation.
Many thanks man, no need to apologize...
Well, the whole point is that strangely enough I CAN'T go into recovery mode on my phone...
Since that stupid act of trying to work with the Samsung program, when I press power and volume down I get into "Factory mode" which gives me the options to test my device, clear the flash and Reboot.
I don't even have the option to go into recovery mode...
I can try and copy all those files manually, as my phone is rooted. I will copy the files from PC into my SD then move them with my phone "total commander" into the proper folders in the root flash.
Does it sound like a plan?
Thanks again
Hi,
As you probably guessed, root is read only, so I met a dead end. I have no way to go into recovery mode thus can't replace any file in root.
I tried to reboot to recovery using "adb reboot recovery", the phone reboots and get stuck with green HTC on the screen - I had to remove battery, put back, press power with volume down to enter "Factory mode", select reboot and get again normal operation.
Any innovative idea?
Thanks in advance...
Maybe you can try to reroot your phone using the unlockr.com method. But I'm not a specialist at these kinds of issues, I wish to be more help. But is there any you can try to reroot your phone using theunlockr.com method?
Yes, I am working on it but I am not so optimistic as, on the way, they also instruct to go into recovery mode. Anyhow, till I discover something better I'll give it a shot.
Many thanks on your assistance.
As I suspected, its a vicious circle, all the repair methods eventually end in the recovery mode. To recover recovery mode I have to go into recovery mode - sad but seems to be true. I will try to open a new thread maybe there is some Android sage with some trick in the sleeve for me....
Thanks again
I'm sorry I couldn't be of help. If you do manage to get it fixed please tell me how you did it because it would be very useful to know recovery mode is essential for every phone. Thank you and sorry again.

I had a problem with the red exclamation mark when trying to load the recovery image on my phone after rooting with the method on theunlockr.com.
To solve it download a recovery image from here, rename it "update.zip" and placed it in the root of your sdcard.
Then boot up your phone and attempt to load recovery as before by pressing the power button and volume DOWN. When you get to the red exclamation mark screen, press and hold volume UP and the power button. This should bring up the Android system recovery. Select flash update.zip and this will flash and load the recovery image.

Hey, I've been doing this for few months now every time I need to enter recovery after I recovered from a bootloop for installing CM7.
However, is there a way to permanently remove this 'wrong' feature by having to manually click update.zip every time? Can I just restore my Legend back to the original state where it would automatically enter recovery without having to press "Vol Up + Power Button" combo and applying update.zip?
Thanks!

If you look at the top line of the bootloader screen it will have the phrase
'S-ON' somewhere; this means 'security on'. The result is that the /system and /recovery partitions are read-only.
There are instructions here on how to S-OFF the Legend. (xda discussion thread here)
I haven't done it myself. Personally, I felt that the risks of bricking and the time spent researching and doing it outweighed the benefits of a writeable /system and /recovery partition.

So are you saying that this "extra step" resulted from the fact that my phone is still S-ON? If that is so, I guess the benefits of this read-only system allows me to flash ROMs much easier (without having to connect to ADB).
Thanks!
I'm not sure if this is gonna help, but you can try pressing the "BACK" button while pressing power on?

Sounds like a bad flash. I'd reflash modded stock v2, then boot to recovery and wipe user data/cache/dalvik and then reflash the full 8.1 ROM. This should make sure you have a working CWM and probably fix your wifi issue too.

NO! If you are using VC 3.2 you should avoid using the ROM manager provided recovery as it is for the wrong tablet (g tablet i think) and it WILL soft-brick your Vega.

When you say "soft bricked", what exactly does the tab do when you turn it on??
Best way to recover is to power down tab, attach tab to computer with usb cable. Make sure tab is charged, or plugged in at the time. hold down the back button (top of tab, next to power button), then press and hold the power button for 2 seconds, then release it while you continue to hold the back button another 2 seconds, then release back button. Your screen should flash once quickly, then stay off.
Now, if everything worked, click on the Mod Stock icon on your computer. and after a little time it will start writing files to the tab. If it says device cant be found, you are not in recovery mode, try again the power/back button instructions, it may take a few times before you get tab into recovery.
There are more precise booting into recovery instructions if needed, just Google "rooting Advent tablet"
I'm assuming you already have the usb drivers, and the roms on your computer, and know how to use them.

the chinese rom and checksum error are supposed to happen.
the chines rom is an old unstable version but is provided so we can root it to install cwm and flash a working rom.
after the checksum error you needed to power off and then using the buttons enter recovery mode and go to 'Fix checksum error' in advanced menu - after that reboot.
you should do the following:
a)go back and read the entire post on what to do because you missed the last part
or
b)try the backdoor method
---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------
just read your entire post again...there's alot going on there isnt there?
have you tried flashing the update.zip again with 3.0.1 on it...get back to the chinese rom, from there install iconia root and root it. Then install cwm and you should be all good - if that doesnt work then use timmyDeans backdoor method it does it for you, all you need to do is install acer recovery installer to install cwm, backup the original stock recovery when the app asks you, you will need it to OTA Update successfully...

V3 which I pointed you to is STOCK 3.2.1 with root. Once you get there you will be stable. If you want CWM then you will have to install it. It is NOT in the flash because the flash is stock ONLY with root. But since you have root, you can install CWM.
The serial number does NOT need to be saved in any file. Just follow the instructions.

Ok, now just download the stock image for your country and put it on your external sdcard. Use the power and volume + key which will launch stock recovery (which you now have flashed) and it will flash your tablet with the one located on your sdcard. This will have you back stock.

You have a "volume" switch on top of your tab (long silver switch on left side)
You control volume from this. Vol+ make sound go up (the right side of it)
Press it on the left side, and volume goes quiet (vol-)
So, as he said, with the tablet OFF, hold the VOL+ side of the button, then select PWR (power)
You have 2 recovery modes.
1. CWM Recovery (vol- & Pwr) (after you have root and cwm installed)
2. Stock Acer recovery (vol+ & Pwr)
Step number 2 with the stock acer recovery, should install the stock rom you copied to your sd like TimmyDean said earlier.

1. CWM Recovery (vol- & Pwr) (after you have root and cwm installed)
2. Stock Acer recovery (vol+ & Pwr)
thanks a lot
Step number 2 with the stock acer recovery, should install the stock rom you copied to your sd like TimmyDean said earlier.

Please rewrite what you are trying to do. I have no idea what you are talking about?
Are you asking about stock recovery and flashing form a SD Card? If so, copy update.zip to your SD card and then run recovery. If you have CWM, then use it to select the update from the SD Card.
It's not clearly as to exactly what you have loaded and what you are trying to do?
LASTLY: You cannot take a backup from CWM and have the stock recovery install it. Stock recovery will only install update.zip which must be signed by ACER.

Hello sir
in upper post u tell me i must go to recover mode by pressing power & vol+
but only i can go to stock recovery with pressing power & vol-(not vol+)
is there any other method for going to recovery mode by (vol+) ?
because Mr Moscow Desire said in his upper post (post no 14 of this thread)
if yes how ?
if not ..... just thank u
there is only one recovery on your device..
you should slowly repost your exact trouble.. then do EXACTLY as someone tell you to fix it..
There is only one recovery on your device . If YOU FLASH CWM RECOVERY .. it overrides the acer recovery.
so if you dont have cwm revovery .
nevermind repost your system rom you are using .. rather or not you know what recovery you have .. Then someone can help you...

Other people are having issues with 5.5.0.4 as well. You should read through the 5.5.0.4 thread to see what others are doing.
If your tf is only booting into recovery then power it off by holding the power button for 10-15 secons.
Power it on holding Power and Volume down button.
When writing shows up DO NOT PRESS UP, just wait.
Then you will get two images on the screen, the one on the left is wipe data, the one on the right shows a little android guy and says boot linux.
You want to press vol down until the android guy is highlighted then press vol up and you'll boot into android.
I'd recommend going back to a known working recovery like 3.2.0.1 You can either flash it via the recovery you currently have, or GnuFabio's Recovery Installer Apparently it's not as simple to overwrite... See post above mine.
This is a really good example of why you should always READ through a thread before flashing/tweaking/installing!
ive been running rouge recovery here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446019 and ive had ZERO problems its not the newest, but its super stable and haven't had any problems flashing any of the honeycomb or ICS roms... check it out

Help me, please!
Yesterday, I wanted to make a clean install for the latest Quarx's CM 10.1 nightly (I've been flashing Quarx's builds for almost a year now, he's The Best), but I think I made a terrible mistake.
When I wanted to make a factory reset, I've got this error because the sd-ext, I understand, that happened because TWRP's structure with almost all devices running Android 4.2.2 have a virtual-sd and a sd-ext, so I decided to make an Advance wipe and I every damn box, even wipe system and wipe sd card.
Finally when I rebooted my phone, TWRP asked to install SU, I pressed yes.
Then when my phone was rebooting, I've got this error:
Bootloader
09.10
Err:A5,70,39,00,27
So, I've been flashing Froyo's .sbfs since yesterday, when I get pass verification from RSDLite and rebooted the phone, it just keep bootlooping, I left it almost 15 minutes and still in Froyo's bootanimation, I know it has to do because it's needed wipe data and cahe, but I can't do that because I can't access stock recovery (volume down+power button), I just get the triangle with the little Android in it.
Here's is the .sbf
JORLA_U3_3.4.2_108-5_SIGNED_USAJORDMR1B25CLALALA022.0R_JORLAFROCLALALA_P027_A018_M016_HWp3_WIG147154_Service1FF.sbf.gz
And I did it with RSDLite 5.6.
Hope you can help me, thanks anyway.

I am new to the Defy, but managed to root and move to CM7 and all seems good. I just wondered if there is a version of bootmenu that uses touch screen rather than volume and power buttons? I thought one of the ICS ROMS had a touch screen recovery, but maybe I am thinking of HTC.
Thanks.

Latest CM10 and CM10.1 have a touch bootmenu, even the latest CM 10.1 has TWRP 2.5 that it's a touch custom recovery.

Thanks for your reply.
I prefer CWM to TWRP, but is there a way to get the more advanced bootmenu 2 and keep CWM? Sndinitdefy seems to only have the recovery using the volume controls and power button.
Thanks.

I think Quarx merged that bootmenu when he started to make his 2ndboot nightlies for CM10, but I don't know how to install it separately from his .zip files, you should download some of the latest ROMs a see if you could merge the bootmenu to CM7.
where are you download this Froyo's .sbfs?

i do the same step to my defy and now i face the same problem .i think you have salve this problem .but i can't find the this file :JORLA_U3_3.4.2_108-5_SIGNED_USAJORDMR1B25CLALALA022.0R_JORLAFROCLALALA_P027_A018_M016_HWp3_WIG147154_Service1FF.sbf.gz
can you gave me a download adress? i am a chinese and have poor english level ,can you tell me the way you fix your phone step by step? think you !
This thread should help (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982), in there you'll be able to find everything you need to fix your phone.
First download RSDLite, then search for a sbf suitable for your country.
Then flash it, you need to have Motorola drivers installed and plug the phone on bootloader mode (press volume up+power button), you have to paste the sbf file you extracted in the RSDLite folder, then just execute it and browse the sbf file, finally press flash and wait.
When you read "please start your phone manually" or something like that, disconnect your phone, remove the battery for five seconds then start it on bootloader mode and plug it.
Your phone should boot to Android.
If you get stuck on bootanimation, wipe data and cache from stock recovery (volume down+power button, when you see the triangle press volume volume up+volume down).
Your phone is ready to go now.

It's not the country your Defy proceeds, you need to know the country for your carrier's signal.
