I have a transformer prime rooted with cwr v5.8.1.8 and i tried to switch rom from virtuos prime on primalicious . I entered in cwr and deleted all and now i can even boot into my old rom .. i can't use usb mass storage and sd card when I try to boot it gets stuck on boot screen … what can I do now?..
Boot back into CWM and reinstall the ROM.
If that does not work, you will need to do Option 1a in the Recover from a Brick thread.
I can't install the rom again because I deleted everything (my mistake)...

You will probably have to use ADB to push the ROM.zip to your internal sdcard from your PC ... then you will be able to reinstall the rom. If you read thru the "Unbrick your Prime" thread, there are tips to getting this done.
I try to use wsg unbricker but I don't know what options to chose to install a fresh stock rom please help..
nobody knows? please help i'm desperate
i still can't open my prime please anyone know what to do ?
This fixed my ASUS tablet! - Blob Files!
Hello there, for the last few nights I was having the same issue as you. I bricked my tablet, fixed it, and then just got stocked on the recovery with no data on my SDCARD. A guy named "dklue" gave me an idea, i googled some more information about something very important that I was missing!: "Blob files".
The "Primalicious_9.4.2.21._Final.zip" file or the "AOKP.zip" file will not work just like that because they are not in the format to be "Pushed" using the push command (At least thats what i kinda realized lol) anyhow, so i went online and searched for a ROM on Blob format and luckily i found the following!:
[ROM][WW][US][9.4.2.21] Primeval: The STOCK stock rom
So here is what worked for me thanks God! lol (Keep in mind that for some reason this process did not work for me on the new "CWM Touch Recovery 5.8.1.8" I actually had to downgrade my CWM to the 5.5.0.4 Version, you can download it from here:
androidroot . mobi / 2012 / 02/22/introducing-cwm-for-asus-transformer-prime/ --> WITH NO SPACE in between!
Here is how to Install the CWM file on your prime:
1. Get fastboot from that website, and extract it.
2. Download the blob file (tfp_CWM5_androidroot.blob), and put it in the same folder as where you extracted fastboot.
3. Power off your prime.
4. Boot with Volume-down pressed. Wait when you see text appearing. The prime will then allow you to start “fastboot” -> USB ICON.
5. Open up a command-line prompt, and navigate to where you extracted fastboot with “cd”.
6. Enter the following commandline to flash recovery: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery tfp_CWM5_androidroot.blob
7. Reboot
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyhow, so after you have that version installed:
1. Download "ROOTED 9.4.2.21 CWM compatible signed US version"
d - h . s t / r 4 4 -> WITH NO SPACE! (This is from the Primeval: The STOCK stock rom) Thread.
2. EXTRACT IT to the same directory where your ADB is! We only need the BLOBFILE from that zip folder!
3. Once you have the files extracted just run the following on your Command line:
adb push blobfile /sdcard/ ---> Its going to look like its not doing
nothing but dont worry its doing it in the background after 401 or some
seconds the command line will returned to you with a message like this:
1275kb, dadadada...
4. VERY IMPORTANT!: enter:
adb shell
dd if=/sdcard/blobfile of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
(Same as the previews step it will take forever but it will work dude!)
5. DONE! at least this is what worked for me man!
Im so happy now my Asus is freaking Brand NEw again! i was JUST about to through this garbage away but im so happy "dklue" gave me the BLOB concept idea! heheheh i guess i learned something new now..

I messed up my prime (stuck booting into CWM, could be worse) and I'm in the middle of fixing it, which will end up erasing my whole device, including internal SD. So I'm going to attempt to ADB pull the Nandroids I have on the device before I erase it, but since I cannot use the device, I'm not sure the whole path. Could someone please give me the path from root to the internal SD? Thanks in advance.
Why dont you give this a try....
Hey why dont you try this before you delete EVERYTHING on your Prime?... i discovered how to do it and it looks like it has worked for a few people too... just a thought... Here is how to do it:

Lol I highly appreciate the support, but my prime won't even boot into fastboot. If I hold down the "vol down" and power it come up with the white text, and then just boots into CWM whatever I do, it has to start from CWM..
Finally got the adb pull going (got some time to kill as I yank 20 gigs through a slow usb).
Now, I know there are already multiple threads discussing this problem, though part 1 of "How to Unbrick" hasn't worked for me. But I'm stuck booting into CWM, so if anyone wants to help take a crack at it, I would oh so appreciate it.
Guys first off this is not my work and have been digging around for answer. I had recently bricked my TF201 and it was stuck at the Asus logo. I was on JB via OTA and my duma$$ tried loading 3d chainfire to get Dark Knight to work smoothly. I'm sure this will work for soft brick during a failed OTA. Finally found a fix! Now you will lose root with this just FYI.
Got the instruction here on how to restore tf300 back to stock. Please thank Auliyaa for his method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757077
Got the adb and fastboot from here and follow the instruction how to use them.
http://dottech.org/21534/how-to-ins...ows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/
Luckily JB updater has been updated today on asus website so grab it there. Extract it and get the blob. Copy the blob to wherever you have the fastboot files. In my case I put it under C:\android
http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=Eee+Pad+Transformer+Prime+TF201&p=20&s=16
This is the instruction from the first link. Updated a few things on it to reflect the correct links for us. I'm going to post in that thread that this works on the tf201 as well.
Download the stock ROM zip file on Asus website (updated). Be sure to download the firmware matching your SKU.
Unzip the downloaded file, you will get another archive called , unzip this one too
You should end up with several file, with one of them called blob
For the next step, you will need to install the Android SDK to get the fastboot utility from here(updated)
Once you have installed fastboot, boot your tablet into fastboot mode (Plugin your tablet on your computer's USB, Hold down Power+VolDown, dont press VolUp when prompted, select the USB icon and press VolUp)
Open a command line terminal and navigate to the folder containing the blob file.
Then type the following command:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
Once the transfer is done and you get that sweet "SUCCESS" printed on your screen, just type the following command to reboot your tablet:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
Thats it! OH man I was bout to pack her up and send to Asus. I love XDA!
I guess it's only working with an unlock device, right?
I rooted my htc evo 4g lte and have twrp installed, and tried to flash a rom, when i rebooted it always takes me back to hboot screen and is stuck there, won't actually boot up. I am able to go to recovery and use twrp including usb mount (maybe a zip i could flash to help). I have searched for awhile but haven't found any real solution for my phone yet.
I have S-on, no external sd card.
If you need any more info just ask.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Thankyou so much for the fast reply, and fix!! I did what you said and it worked! The funny thing is that it was my first flash, is there something i did or should avoid to have this happen to me again? Any way I am so grateful and now am going to try out team venoms viper4g 2.0.2 new rom!
If others have the same problem and want more detailed info about what I did:
1. downloaded sdk manager developer.android.com/sdk/index. html opened the program and installed platform tools
2. Since I have twrp I put into recovery and mounted usb found the zip of the rom i wanted to flash opened it found the boot.img and copied it to the folder where platform tools where installed (C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools)
3. got back to hboot screen
4. opened cmd to the folder by typing: cd then file path like mine above
5. then in cmd typed fastboot flash boot boot.img it will do its thing
6. restart phone and hopefully work for you too!

If you are s-on, the kernel won't flash with the rom so you have to flash it separately like om4 showed you. Some roms, like MeanRom have modified their install script to automatically load the kernel to avoid this extra step.
The latest Mean installer failed for me, as did the latest Viper, something to keep in mind if you try those and they don't boot
Ok... This is my 4th android phone.. And I love this phone... And only had it for a week.... and just now got it bricked.... here's what happen... Today I tried to flash a sense 4.1 rom, but im so new at this, and I'm half way done, and I went in a rush because I was nervous, and I accidentally press "install and keep data" and that was my mistake. I factory reset it b4 so I tried to flash it... So I thought it wouldn't be a problem. So I waited till the phone finish flashing. And when I rebooted the phone.... Nothing happened, just stuck on the white screen.... vibrating and etc... And I tried to restore all my data in clockworkmod recovery like I never even tried flashed it.. and it kept saying "won't mount sd card" and I tried to clear my cache/dalvik-cache, and like it still wont fix the issue. I even tried to restore wat I backup b4 I tried to flash it... and It was gone!!! Even my windows 8 laptop won't even detect my resound nor my sd card(unless its on a different android). But How can I fix my Rezound?!? plzzzz How can I fix this soft bricked issue? pllzzzzzzz help!!!
Im assuming you already have adb installed
Download this file
http://www.mediafire.com/download/oa2sjlvrecx0wdn/recovery-ra-vigor-3.16-gnm.img.zip
Extract the recovery img
Put it in the adb folder
Load into fastboot
Open up the terminal
Put "cd" then hit space
Drag and drop the adb folder into the terminal window then hit enter
Now use this command to flash that recovery "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (without the quotation marks)
Now go into recovery Find "format data system cache ect."
Go to format all to ext3 once that is done hit return
Flash your prefered rom from the flash menu and all that
Once you are done return to the main menu and go to "developer menu"
Then reboot to bootloader
Now go into your rom that you downloaded on your pc and find the rom now open it and get the boot.img
Copy the boot.img file to your adb folder
Open up terminal again and this time use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" in terminal its going to say sending then writing usually takes a couple of seconds
now just go to the reboot option and your rom should work
Now remember that since you are s on you need to get the boot.img file from EVERY rom you install and flash it thru the terminal in order to get your rom working

If you are S-ON, you are likely not bricked, it's almost impossible to completely brick when you are S-ON.
Why do people keep telling occasional flashers that are S-ON to do this?!?!? It is the hard way, also don't use Amon Ra, is it outdated and known to cause issues with current ROMs, use TWRP or CWM recovery!!! Also, verify your ROM is specifically for the HTC Rezound, check the Developer threads here and make sure it is stable and widely used unless you really know what you are doing.
Although xkjonathanxk is on the right track, he is making more complicated than it needs to be...
- Download the first link in the first post of this thread and place it on the root of your SD card: [Tool] - 3/24 - CleanWIPE 1.0 - Wipe 5 or 10x before ROM install! - 1heffer Edition! (CleanWIPE formats all the necessary partitions for you, and prepares the phone for a new ROM)
- Download TWRP or CWM Rececovery (one of the first two links in post 1) and extract the recovery*.img and place it in the adb folder that contains fastboot.
- Download a tested and verified ROM of choice and place it on the root of your SD card
- Now, reboot into fastboot, remove battery and hold down Power and Vol Dn, once the menu comes up select Fastboot and press power, connect phone to PC
- In ADB enter the command "fastboot devices", if it shows a device continue, if not report back please
- Now enter the command "fastboot boot recovery.img" and TWRP (or CWM) should open on the device in a few seconds (replace recovery.img with whatever the name of the xxxx.img file is from TWRP or CWM archive)
- Install the CleanWIPE zip from above
- Install ROM zip image
- Reboot and enjoy the goodness
Remember to give the ROM some time to settle down on the first boot, and that the first boot can take a long time, like a painfully wrong "WTF did I do to ruin my device!" long time, but give it a solid 10 minutes before doing anything else.

For the things you need to do, its not much different than Windows. Download and install adb, copy images to same places, and the commands are pretty much the same. If you can dualboot you obviously have some knowledge of such things.
If this is all do difficult, just grab a thumb drive, put mini-adb, recovery.img, and your ROM on it and go to a buddies computer with Win7 for 20 minutes and get it done that way.
I know this seems like a huge, potentially fatal problem, but it is minor...
Another thought I had... Download TWRP, go into CWM recovery and copy the TWRP file and ROM to the sd card, and FLASH TWRP recovery ZIP with CWM recovery, reboot into recovery and you will then be on TWRP and you can use TWRP's HTC Dumlock to flash the ROM and the boot.img without a PC at all... In theory, it should work.

Hey everyone,
This is my first time posting to the forums. I have been trying to get everything done without having to ask questions since there are so many all over the place and I can see how it can get tiring trying to help everyone when their may be an answer out there already if you look. However, I have ran into an issue that I can't seem to find much information on. I have the HTC Rezound that is S-On (apparently you need a Linux machine to get S-Off which I don't have. Using Windows 7.) and have been using fastboot to get things done. I have unlocked the bootloader and have installed the 'Amon Ra' recovery and setup Superuser and SU. As far as I know, I have to use ROM's that are S-On friendly (right?) and I chose to try out 'EclipticRez' and later 'Talon'.
As I tried to flash the ROM's through fastboot it fails with the following errors every time and I cannot continue:
archive does not contain android-info.txt
archive does not contain android-product.txt
From what I found is that it may be a bad download of the ROM. Maybe.... But it happened consecutively with two different ROM downloads.
I also read that maybe the recovery wasn't setup, which as far as I know it is. Should I use a different recovery? Everyone usually references to using CWM, which I wouldn't mind using but I couldn't figure out how to get SU access.
Can I just create the files myself? They are only txt files after all.
If anyone can help me with this I will be so grateful! I'm pretty new to this and it has definitely been a fun learning experience for me
Much thanks in advance!

1) Switch to TWRP or CWM for your recovery.
2) You install the rom zip via recovery.
3) You then need to fastboot flash the kernel from the rom zip you downloaded. You don't install the whole rom via fastboot.
To borrow from the CM11 thread.
- Place the boot.img into the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK's install directory.
- Boot to the bootloader.
- Ensure your device is connected to your computer and that your device is now in fastboot mode. This is a white screen and it says fastboot on it.
- Open a Terminal (OSX or Linux) or CMD window (Windows) and cd to the platform-tools directory of the Android SDK's install directory.
- Issue this command to flash the boot.img we placed in the platform-tools folder earlier:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
- Watch the output of the terminal, it should say something like "sent successfully".
- Finally send this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Since you're s-on, you'll need to do this whenever you install a new rom. Using these steps, you can install any rom you want.

also to note....you dont have to install linux to get s-off....if you follow my guide you can do it straight from a live disk rather than installing it....so it wont erase or mess up your windows partition at all
Solved!
Thank you, Mjones, I finally got it! I knew it was much easier than I was making it out to be. I was missing the kernel! Yeah, a crucial part in the process, I know
I first ran CWM and flashed the ROM over and ran the .zip through recovery (which I couldn't understand at first as I could never find it in the directory) but the installer would only go 50% and would fail... makes sense why now lol
I later flashed TWRP and backed up again after recovering from the fail. I flashed over the kernel and voila! So simple... Had to slap myself.
Thanks again! Case solved.
REV3NT3CH, that is sweet!! I have been hoping there is a way to gain s-off with Windows. I have 7 at work and 8.1 (which I can't get anything to work on) at home. I actually have to focus on work today haha so I'll look into the method and try it out tomorrow if I can. Thanks for all of the help.

1) Switch to TWRP or CWM for your recovery.
2) You install the rom zip via recovery.
3) You then need to fastboot flash the kernel from the rom zip you downloaded. You don't install the whole rom via fastboot.
To borrow from the CM11 thread.
- Place the boot.img into the platform-tools folder of the Android SDK's install directory.
- Boot to the bootloader.
- Ensure your device is connected to your computer and that your device is now in fastboot mode. This is a white screen and it says fastboot on it.
- Open a Terminal (OSX or Linux) or CMD window (Windows) and cd to the platform-tools directory of the Android SDK's install directory.
- Issue this command to flash the boot.img we placed in the platform-tools folder earlier:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
- Watch the output of the terminal, it should say something like "sent successfully".
- Finally send this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Since you're s-on, you'll need to do this whenever you install a new rom. Using these steps, you can install any rom you want.

I need to be able to do it via fastboot, as my Motorola Electrify M is stuck in a bootloop and there's no way I could find to boot into recovery. I'm using ./fastboot update name_of_update.zip and it is an official OTA .zip but I still get this error. Any suggestions?

Did you try this first? (Right from Moto's site)
Perform a factory reset using external keys
1. Power off the phone, press and hold volume down button, press power button
2. Screen will come up with "Fastboot", press Vol down key to cycle through choices until you get "Android Recovery", then press Vol up key
3. Wait for the "triangle ! / Android" screen then go on to step 4
4. Press both Vol up and Vol down key simultaneously. A menu will come up
5. Tap on Vol down key until "wipe data/factory reset" is highlighted, and tap Power key. Another Confirmation screen will come. Tap on Vol down key until coming to Yes and tap Power key
6. After userdata is cleared, the "reboot system now" option will be highlighted by Default. Tap Power key
7. Phone will reboot to initial setup screen.

Qualcomm is harder to flash than MTK that can use SP FlashTool.
on this I use QFIL but keeps "sahara error". I tried searching and try moving firmware file to bin but no Luck. I'm currently trying different version of QFIL Tool.
If it FAILS my only HOPE is to use MUT-QCfire which will Require a "SmartCardReader" Which is a bit pricey and I don't even know if it will work on my device.
