Hello everyone here at xda-developers.
A few days ago I was watching streams on my Asus Transformer TF101(B70). Suddenly out of nowhere the tablet shuts off and starts an infinite loop which I simply cannot get it out of. I end up restoring the tablet to factory default and load a stock kernel onto my tablet using adb push. Since the tablet doesn't have any rom installed at this point I try to push CyanogenMod 9.0 onto my tablet in order to try and get my tablet to work and this is where the issues begin. First of all I try to push the rom onto /sdcard but that bugs my CWM 5.5.0.4 and will not allow me to access /sdcard and keeps telling me that there are "No files" when I'm trying to access /sdcard. If I restart into recovery it can access my files again but the pushed file is not there.
Afterwards I try again to push the file to /sdcard/download but then it tells me that this archive is Read-Only. I run a the "adb remount" command and it tells me it completed succesfully but when I push again it tells me that the archive is still Read-Only.
I've tried various commands but I can simply not change the archive into read/write. A few times I have succeeded in pushing the rom to /sdcard/download but when I try to locate the file it is simply not there and is not located anywhere on /sdcard despite the process being completed. I have simply no idea on how to get the rom file onto my tablet in order to restore it to normal and I was wondering if any of you have any ideas on how to get my tablet working again?
If you have any questions regarding information needed about just ask and I will provide the necessary information. I am really out of ideas on what to do.
Get a Micro SDCard and copy the ROM onto that from a PC, then put that in the TF and boot to recovery

I already have a MicroSD card in my tablet but I am not able to access it from CWM recovery
Try pushing the file to data/media.
Are you pushing the file while in cwm recovery?

I am pushing files while in recovery mode. I have already tried pushing to.other directories than /media/download but the same thing.happen. either it tells Me that the file system is read only or it says that the file transfer succeeded but the file cannot be located anywhere. I read up on the solution of trying to access a rom through microssd. Unfortunately my recovery doesn't support that unless I can change it to use external.memory instead of internal memory.
The only thing I succeeded in was getting a rom pushed to /system. Would I be able to access this directory from my recovery?

It would be better to try than to ask !
How did you get on, any luck yet ?
You could try flashing a new CWM that supports SDCards via NVFLASH

If you did a factory reset (and hence data loss is not a problem), your best option is using nvflash/wheelie to restore the device to a clean state with a stock firmware build and then reflash CWM to install whatever custom ROM you want.

hmmm, you arent mounting storage to pc right?
edit: works fine on my phone, wonder whats up with yours.
edit2: you can download a rom, rename it update.zip and drop it in that folder and it will push it to phone. basically it'll push anything named update.zip to your main sd

Hi All,
I wanted to update my ideos s7-104 (best buy US) to the Joenilan froyo fusion rom and made one mistake along the way. I copied the .zip file to the external sd card not the internal sd card. So zip file is not available to CWM (2.5.1.8). I tried manually pushing the file to the tablet with ADB (from computer) but the tablet is not visible to the system (windows 7 64bit with drivers installed, I could not get HiSuite to install with upgrade.cmd). This is strange becasue the Upgrade utility which uses adb flashes the rom just fine. Of course I wiped the system and reformatted the device per the instructions. Now when the unit boots it goes the fastboot and then stops with option to reboot with back/home which works. I don't think the unit is bricked just yet since I can still get into the CWM recovery.
Does anyone have any bright ideas to move the Ideos S7 Froyo v1.3-EXT4 Stable.zip to the internal sdcard?
Thanks for all the useful information previously posted!

Hi, let see if i can help you, if you have a backup restore, if you dont that implies some work, i dont use windows i prefer linux, you can try to create a virtual machine, with windows xp or linux ubuntu and then with fastboot commands push the file to sd card.
Another way, get the oficial rom for your tablet copy the file to ext-sdcard and follow the install instrutions of the rom, you must create the dload directory in ext-sdcard.
it look like you lost the system files and the kernel of the device, so it boot in to fastboot, fastboot does not acept adb, but fastboot has some commands to copy kernel and system file to the device, it cant copy a zip file, must be a img file.
Version 6.0.1 of cwm reads update files from ext-sdcard so you can also try to install that recovery version with fastboot.
Remember: it always a good idea to have a backup before doing anything.
Hope that helps.
Fixed

After having rooted (with nexus 10 toolkit v1.3.0) my nexus 10 and flashed AOPK Nexus 10 (WIP) Task650 & Ktoonsez (1-4) rom, I'm unable to upload to, change or move any files or folders on my internal SD card. I installed Root Explorer and changed from Mount R/O to Mounted as r/w. Access is granted by Super SU. I also tried to change permission settings, unfortunatedly without any success. There appeared the following message:
"Warning
Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems (e.g. SD card) do not allow permission changes."
Is there a possibility to change these permissions in order to be able to create and move files and folders on my SD card?
Thanks for taking your time to help me with my issue!
Anzirothu
1. Clear cache
2. Clear dalvik
3. Fix Permissions
forgot something ?
Thank you for your reply, Patrik!
1. done.
2. done.
3. Fix Permissions - How? With cwm? I did fix permissions with cwm recovery, but the problem persists...
Just so we are clear, when you say "upload to, change, or move" are you meaning you cannot copy a file from your computer to your Nexus 10? Or just that you cant arrange stuff through root explorer from within the tablet itself?
Neither copying from PC to Nexus nor arranging stuff through root exlorer from within the tablet itself. I can't even download an email attachment and put it to the SD card. The card seems to be locked.
I had that problem once but I dont remember what caused it or what exactly I did to fix. I think I just did a complete wipe by locking and unlocking the bootloader and then installing a new ROM again.
I think I did this too (unroot, lock bootloader, then root and unlock bootloader) and then installed the same rom again. I will try it this time with another rom.
Isn't there really no other solution to get access to my SD card again??
Thx for your help!
Are you using a toolkit to unlock and root? If so them maybe it is not doing something right and it messing up a permissions somewhere. It could also be a driver problem on your PC with being unable to copy a file to the tablet.
Thank you for your help!
I am using the nexus 10 toolkit V1.3.0. Right now I'm trying to intall twrp recovery with a fully wiped sd card. No easy task fot me being a noob...
In ClockWorkMod, make sure that /data is mounted
Then download the Android SDK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
I usually put all the files just in C:/android-sdk-windows
Once you have it all there open up the SDK Manager and download all the additional files needed. You probably only need to download "Android SDK Tools" and "Android SDK Platform-tools", but I always download the other files for whatever version of Android I am running, in our case Android 4.2. That way I have them if I need to do something else.
Once downloaded, open the Android-sdk-windows/platform-tools directory. copy:
adb.exe
adbWinApi.dll
adbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot.exe
to your base C:/Android-SDK-Windows directory.
Now open command prompt from Start -> run
type: cd C:/Android-SDK-Windows
type: "adb devices" and it should list your tablet. It will actually say something with your devices serial number and then "Recovery" after it, showing your tablet is in recovery. If you dont see this then you either dont have your tablet mounted right from in the Recovery, ClockWorkMod is stupid, or you dont have working adb drivers.
Now copy the ROM you want to flash to C:/Android-SDK-Windows
Then type: "adb push blahblahblah.zip /data/media/0"
That should push the ROM to the root of your SD card. Give it time, it takes a while to push a ROM file. Once it is done, flash the ROM.
That *should* put it in the right spot where it looks like it is on your "internal storage" (what you see when navigating files within the ROM). If you dont see the ROM in clockworkMod then keep navigating back to the root of your internal storage and then open up "data", then "media", then "0" and you should see it. If you still cant find the ROM, push it again but just use "/data/media" as the location.
I just did all these steps myself to verify I remembered it all correct and I was able to successfully copy a ROM and find it on my tablet to flash by doing everything I just listed above. SO you should be good to go if you follow all those steps properly. I know it looks like a lot of work, but it really isnt and will go quite fast. Most of it is just the setup for getting ADB and Fastboot ready to use.
For a ROM to install, I would recommend to someone new like you either of these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2071082
^^^^^ That one is pretty close to the stock ROM with a few fixes and a couple extra features
or: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2071082
^^^^^ This one is pretty much CyanogenMod 10.1, but built by a different guy and not pulling every new thing from CM, just the "cherry picks" of features. It tends to be a bit more stable and less buggy than the real CM10.1 nightly's
And for a kernel you can flash and forget you will want to try this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098157
^^^^^ To flash that you will want to do a similar thing as how you pushed the ROM to your device. Only this time you will copy the kernels' "boot-r4.img" file into your android-adk-windows directory and use the command: "fastboot flash boot boot-r4.img"
While I enjoy the KTManta kernel more, it does require a bit of tweaking to get running perfect. Which is one of the things I like about it because of all the options to tweak. But for someone just learning this stuff that would be a bad thing, so Franco's kernel is much better than stock and doesnt require you to adjust anything once it is flashed to your tablet.
my nexus 4 was rooted with 4.3 but then i decide to upgrade to 4.4
this is the video i am trying to follow, basically just wipe & install which i did most the time.
youtube title "NEXUS 4: HOW TO MANUALLY UPDATE TO ANDROID 4.4 KITKAT"
it has two files one is mako and one is gapp.
after i did all the wiping in cwm and try to install the mako file, it shows "no file context" or sth similar, and installation is abort (i think there is problem when i transfer the file), but then i continue to install the gapp file (what the hell was i thinking?)
so now i am stuck in the google start up loop, i can only access cwm recovery mode and don't have a valid rom to install in my sdcard.
i tried to adb push another rom to the sdcard with no success (my storage was already very low, any way to remove files in the storage at this point?)
the "mount & storage" also doesn't seem to let me mount the sdcard (but system shows up "unmount").
so now i don't know what to do.
if anything has any idea or suggestion please let us know.
i am quite desperate now with a dead phone and will try anything.
thanks for reading such a long thread.
Dude that vid is old and it installs pa or some other port just flash factory images from google

after tons of troubleshooting finally got it back to work.
it ends up the reason is i didn't update to the latest cwm at the very beginning.
and sideloading 4.4 didn't work because of that too, i have to install an old 4.2 to have it working.
I am trying to get the F2FS file structure and I can't find the SlimKat Rom or GAPPS files on my tablet. All I have is a laptop with Win8, which has copies of the needed files on there. Is there a way that I can get the .ZIP files onto my tablet, or make my laptop work like an OTG-USB? I'm not in the US and I don't know if I can get an OTG cable any time soon.
Thanks.

So is your situation:
Tablet is wiped
Partitions are formatted to f2fs
Recovery still functioning
If that is the case, then just use the sideload function. For TWRP, its under the advanced menu. Start sideload mode in TWRP, then on the PC open a command window in the directory where the files are (google to see how to add that function to the windows right click menu...really handy). Then:
adb sideload yourfilenamehere
Do it for both files.
Done.

Even Recovery was stuck in a loop. I used a toolkit to flash back to all stock, it's working. Maybe I'll mess around with it again. Thanks.
