Ok, so I used the NVflash method to root my Transformer, but didn't realize there was no custom recovery with it to flash new roms, update.zip's etc.
So now I'm trying to find a way to get ClockWork Mod recovery on it and so far I can't figure it out, even tried this one but it left to an infinite reboot leading me to use NVflash again.

If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated...
Uh, I'm stumped, recovery showed up finally after a couple of attempts from that link above

Hello folks,
First time poster here, first time I haven't been able to find a fix already posted...
Anyway, I wanted to try out the new Cyanogen mod after not having tried any new ROMs in a long time. Got 5.0.7 installed and running no problem. Then I noticed on the Cyanogen Mod site that there was also a Cyanogen recovery image. "Might as well have everything from the same source," I thought. I got the file, put it on the SD card, and used the terminal on the phone to execute "flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img," then tried rebooting into recovery mode. No good. Just get hung up at the "myTouch 3g" screen. At this point, I thought I was well and screwed, but fortunately I'm still able to boot normally.
Tried reflashing the same image, then other recovery partition images. No dice. Where do I go from here? I'm used to fixing stuff I've screwed up through the recovery partition, not the other way around!
I appreciate any help or advice!
Sincerely,
Tom
hey tom,
this will fix you up:
install "rom manager" from the market
flash his recovery image (theres in option for that)
then look for the option that lets you flash Amon Ra 1.7.0
let it load, power off & then check.
trust me this is bound to fix your problem.
hey guys, i cannot boot into recovery after updating clockworkmod's recovery image through ROM manager.
How do i fix this, i have tried going through older versions of clockworkmod's recovery, and going to RA recovery v1.7.0H same thing please help!
thanks in advcance!
Not sure if this thread will help you...

that doesnt really help me. im just trying to find out how to fix this without downloading stuff to my pc hopefully because my im backing up my pc right now. but if its needed i will use my sister's laptop.
I checked through 100s of post tonight and could not find the answer to this and am in need of some help. I attempted to install a Cyanogen Nightly tonight through Rom Manager with no prior knowlege of the issues with CW 2.5 vs. CW 3.0. Stupid I know.
So natuaraly, when the download finished and Rom Manager tried to install, my MT4G just hung at the white boot screen. Through previous posts, the directions were simple to reflash the previous CW Recovery through Fastboot and reflash the Rom.
Well thats where the problem is.... When I attempt to flash ANY Rom earlier than 3.0.0.5, it will say OKAY in CMD, however the phone will never boot into the Recovery. I even tried fastboot erase recovery then reinstalled and still nothing.
So i decided to go a different root and reinstalled 3.0.0.5 to see if there was any work around through there. After i install 3.0 through Fastboot, I am able to go into Recovery, however when I select ANY option no matter what, the hat and the gear icon stay in the background and nothing happens.
I am very confused and lost and am hoping someone here will have had the same issue and can help me get my phone back in order.
Thanks in advance guys!

I havent had that issue exactly, but I might be able to help wlk you through getting this fixed. Ive had problems more than once myself on recovery, and helped a couple others solve other issues on here. If you want, add me on google talk (same username as on xda), and Ill walk you through it. Might have to wait till the morning, though, as Im probably gonna head to bed soon.
Fastboot 2.5 recovery and reflash froyo rom. If you decide to install CM7 again - read,search and make sure that you understand what you're doing. It has been stated at least few dozen times that Rom Manager is useless with gingerbread until Koush updates it.
Same Issue??
I believe my issue sounds similar.
I tried to go from Iced Glacier up to CM7. When I did I attempted to use the Clockwork Recovery 2.5 and of course it didn't work. Then I tried to upgrade it to 3.0.0.5. Now when I try to reboot into Clockwork recovery the phone just stays on the MyTouch 4G splash screen. The only way to get around it is use the Power/Volume down button and click on FASTBOOT and then select REBOOT.
The phone then boots in Iced Glacier. I have redownloaded ROM Manager and attempted to FLASH CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY. But it still won't load into recovery.
Essentially I need some step by step help to get back to clockworkmod recovery. I'm not too worried if I need to wipe everything. Just looking for the ability to restore again.
Alternatively I'm interested in upgrading to CM7 but not sure how I could do that without recovery working. I would also ask if you can give step by step instructions it would be much appreciated as I'm still pretty new to this.
Thanks!
I also have the similar problem. I have installed the Clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 and have rooted my phone before i was trying to install the gingerbread version. I made a recovery backup. i tried to restore the phone with that backup image but it still hung up with that "t-mobile mytouch " white splash screen.
What should i do now ? i have no idea how to bring my phone back to life :/

Sounds like both of you should of never of done this. This has been discussed a few times, and the end result is always the same.....
Download the correct Recovery image (which can be found in the Development section) and install it to your phone by using the ADB commands, in the fastboot mode. you can find a quick and painless way to set those up in my signature. Once you have installed the recovery image you can boot into hBoot and select recovery. from there you can flash CM7 and the gapps. Once you have done all that download the official clockwork ROM manager from the market and flash his current recovery image.
I have the recently released leak installed on my phone. I had a lot of problems getting there so I hope you all can be of some assistance.
First problem, when i try to reboot into recovery mode after I've pulled the battery it ALWAYS goes into the standard Android recovery and NOT clockwork. I can only boot into clockwork from ROM manager. Is this normal?
And secondly, this is for future reference when I want to install new ROMs. Everyone suggested that I wipe my phone before I put the new ROM on, which I did. Unfortunately this caused my phone to become unrooted, and I had to spend a little more time getting it rerooted. There was a lot of work to be done. Is this the usual course of events people go through to install new ROMs?
Thanks so much in advance, I really appreciate this community's helpful patrons.
I just put the recommended update.zip file in my root.
If I click install update.zip from the default recovery will it bring me into clockwork recovery?
Is that what I'm missing?
Yes, installing update.zip in standard recovery will lead you to clockworkmod recovery. But if you haven't installed clockworkmod properly, update.zip will fail to load clockworkmod recovery.
Wiping roms doesn't unroot your phone, so maybe you did something wrong before?

Are you sure wiping doesn't unroot?
Does it remove the superuser app at least?
When I first wiped everything I lost EVERYTHING on my phone and it went back to as if I had just bought it.
I then went through the reroot process so I could get ROM manager back to boot into recovery mode (because I didn't know about update.zip before).
Anything I'm missing?
After installing cwmod zip, I went to install the busybox zip in cw and accidentally chose to automatically install update.zip. I think that's what messed it all up for me. I can get into CW Mod, but if I try to restart the tablet, it stays stuck on the galaxy tab 10.1 screen that has the unlocked icon at the bottom.
Can someone just point me in the right direction on what I need to do to get this thing up and running again?
I've tried to install the OTA which didn't work. ODIN doesn't work on my tablet for some reason, either. I feel like an idiot.. lol
The fix might be easier than I thought.. I found someone's cw backup over at droidbasement.com.
NM it wont allow me to flash it.
Looks like I jumped the gun on creating this thread. I managed to copy over that CW backup's boot, system, and recovery images using adb push. It let me flash them and booted up.
At least it's always "semi" fun trying to fix your mess ups.
