Clockwork recovery...

My phone was going through bootloops and I went to recovery and clockwork definitely WASN'T there. So I improvised and used the 1 click stock method to restore my phone. Any idea why clockwork wasn't there and how to change it to where it is in case it happens again?

Did you flash it yet???
I recently answered a question similar to this, so see if it works:
1. Reboot into your bootloader
2. Download a clockwork img and save it to a directory on ur computer
3. CD into that directory on the terminal and do the following command:
fastboot flash recovery _____.img
(Blank line is name of img)
And reboot into recovery from bootloader
See if that works

You flashed recovery, then installed su. You needed to rename install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.bak in /system/etc/

Stupidity... Typed something wrong some guidance

Rooted fine my tf101. Recovery installed fine. So I wanted to save my buttons and install CWM Touch. Tried to install via terminal and typed the wrong mmcblock 4 instead of 3. Now its stuck in the splash screen with no recovery. I am able to access the tablet by cold boot only. Anyway I can fix this?

I prefer cwm touch which you can get from the site. Or you can flash the button version from rommanager
Twrp does work tho, but I've read issues with restoring backups.
Booting into recovery on the device in a way is messed up. The button combo method to enter using the bootloader hangs when not connected to a PC, so there are two options on getting into recovery.
A. Connect to a PC and use bootloader
B. With a working OS, reboot to recovery using an app such as rommanager or goomanager
If you ever flash a rom that won't boot, u need to connect to a PC and boot into recovery via bootloader (button combo).

I use TWRP and had successfully restored now a couple of times. Once was a complete device replacement where I restored the TWRP restore files from my workstation.
How I do my backups to ensure I can restore from a total loss.

Ah, I was curious if this bug still existed or not.

I'd go with CWM, quite stable, easy to use, and you can flash the touch recovery, speeds it up.

Thanks, I read somewhere that if you go into system/ and rename recovery-from-boot.p to recovery-from-boot.bak, fixes the bootloop...can anyone confirm this... thank in advance

Try it. Bootloader issue still exists regardless.

I'm a TWRP guy all the way. I have never had an issue restoring a backup, and the ability to compress my nandroid is invaluable.

TWRP has definitely converted me.

Clockwork recovery touch mod help

Hey i haven't been able to figure out how to install this .img file can anyone help me

You can find out if you search for 'flashing recovery through fastboot'. In any case, the best recovery for this device is 4ext touch recovery. Download 4ext Recovery Updater from www.4ext.net and use that to flash recovery (you need to be rooted and bootloader unlocked).

Need help with recovery.

I've installed CWM through ROM Manager in order to install 4.4, but I'm still booting into TWRP every time. Any idea what my issue is?

Use Flashify or manually boot into fastboot, erase recovery, and reflash CWM.

Flashify works on and off for me. The surefire way (as Theonew mentioned) is to manually overwrite in fastboot with
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfile.img
