So as the title suggest, I am in a boot loop. I was running TWRP project 2.2.1.4 (I think or something like that) and downloaded the latest blob from TWRP's website (openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-tf201-JB.blob) and booted into fastboot mode and flashed it through terminal. It said everything was good and I rebooted no problem. I hit the menu to reboot into Recovery (from the Power button menu) and it threw me into a bootloop at the startup screen. I can't get into recovery, but I think I'm able to get into APX mode. I have gone through the entire procedure of nvflash and have everything backed up numerous times... Any ideas on how I can get my Prime back up and running? I currently have Androwook JB edition installed and was about to install the latest deodexed stock ROM listed in the Development section.. Please help.

Hi, I just brought my G Tablet and I have downloaded "ClockworkMod_Gtab_v08.zip" and copy the "update.zip and "recovery" into my internal SD Root dir.
I boot into recovery mood and ClockworkMod install but after reboot into recovery mood again, the screen freeze in "Booting recovery kernel image" and don't go into ClockworkMod screen (for more then 10 mins and have try rebooting it a few times).
The G Tab can still boot up normally in to TapnTap, everything seem working find and I can connect to my computer using USB cable. But just can't boot into recovery.
I wanted to install new rom, how do I make boot into ClockworkMod screen (recovery)?
Any help is welcome.
Thanks
Take a look at the recovery script and make sure it says sdcard vs sdcard- ext that's the only thing i can think of right now that May do that.

This is the symptom of installing the wrong cwm. You're on the 1.2 branch but you put the cwm for the 1.1 branch. You hosed your recovery. Go to my website and use code red in the "start here" page to recover.
Same thing I happened to me. I bought mine off Woot a few days back and it came with 1.2 bootloader (4349). No matter how many times I tried, I could never get back into recovery. Here are the steps I did to fix that:
1. You need to do nvflash to recover your stock recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950) - I followed all steps in the "Installation" section.
2. After this, you should now have your stock recovery back. You're going to need to downgrade manually to 3588 - Just follow the "POST NVFlash" section on that same page.
3. Once you're done downgrading, should be able to install CWM without issue.
Problem solved!
Thanks goodintentions you save my G Tab, it works!
And now it can boot back into ClockworkMod recovery mode.
Your website is very good and informative. Good job.
Thanks again.
Thanks "goodintentions", You saved me as well
Followed your post and it worked.
Good information...thanks for the help!

nvflash for dummies not working
Bro I connected my gtab to my computer in apx mode and my computer couldn't see it. Went to device manager and apx device was absent. Needless to say connecting my gtab to the computer was as far as I could get. If it helps any, I'm currently running bottle of smoke. Where I screwed my tab up is when I opened up time manager and it had an ota update for the recovery I was using.... Shoulda known better than to select advent vega for the device when it was running on the 1.2 branch recovery. Any tips? I wanna change my time but I need my recovery up n running.

Hi All, I have attempted to flash clockwork mod onto my G-Tab using This guide. I put the update.zip into its proper place in the internal sd card, and then booted to recovery where it looked as if it installed and then it rebooted, I then went back into recovery where now it is stuck at the Viewsonic Birds screen and says in the corner "Recovery Key Detected" "Booting recovery kernel image". It never made it to clockwork. I know that it is not bricked, I can still boot to the normal OS but would like to get it to clockwork and then to a custom Rom. Any Suggestions or help for this?
I have done several samsung captivate root's and flashed them with custom Rom's so this is not my first rodeo.
Thanks
Sam
What bootloader are you on?

That CWM version is for 1.1 bootloader. Boot to Android, go to Settings, About & see which TapNTap version you are on. If it starts with 1.2 you are on 1.2 bootloader. If it starts with 1.1 you are on the 1.1 bootloader & you flashed the wrong version.

I am a new Transformer Prime user, but not new to Android. My Prime is stuck on the initial "ASUS" splash screen (with NVIDIA logo).
I got my TFP yesterday and decided to put CM10 on it to see if it would fix the lag I was having (came with JB 4.1.1). Since it came with JB, I knew I couldn't use nvflash so I used the ASUS unlock tool which worked fine. I then downloaded TWRP 2.4.1 and flashed the JB blob file via fastboot.
Upon entering TWRP for the first time, everything seemed fine. I went in, did a backup (which I subsequently deleted by mistake) and wiped cache/dalvik/data/system and installed the official CM10 nightly. After flashing, I wiped cache/dalvik again and rebooted.
EDIT: So I flashed the Unofficial CM 10.1 here on XDA and it is now booting. So is the official CM 10 not for our devices with the JB BL?
Official CM10 nightlies are still made for the ICS bootloader, as you discovered. Until they update, you're better off downloading the unofficial builds here.

I'm at the same screen, got there a lil different then you but along the same lines. I've switched out roms alot with no issues, but after flashing jellybean, i haven't been able to boot into recovery by power + vol down button. So i tried going into goo manager to boot into recovery and since then its just sitting at the first screen with this device is unlocked in the top left corner and nv in bottom left. When i hold the power button to reboot it, it just comes right back. Even when i let the battery die and try'ed it after that its just the same thing. Is there any hope out there for me?

Can you access the stock recovery menu? If you can, you might be able to flash a custom recovery using fastboot.

I am also stuck at this screen. I have access to nothing including adb, fastboot, recovery, bootloader, and everything else. All I did was use the asus bootloader unlock apk, fastboot flash recovery clockwork.img, boot back into android normally, and then I reboot into the bootloader wiped data, and now it is stuck.

Same here. I unlocked it and flashed CWM. For a while I used the tablet without any custom rom nor any problem, however it just stopped booting suddenly. I dont know what to do.

same here as well so at least you guys arent alone does show up as an apx device but not sure how useful that could be at the moment its just a paper weight just need someone to write an automated recovery from apx mode to flash the appropriate files if thats even possible
Exact same problem. Still no fix?
Just developed the same problem after installing Androwook2.2. Flashed the JB bootloader, then flashed the rom, after completing the initial Android setup the tablet started to download updates, which then froze. The screen stopped responding to any inputs, only the power and volume buttons did anything, but wouldn't restart it.
I hit the reset button with a pin which allowed me to enter recovery, which also didn't respond to screen touches, another reset button hit and there's now no USB connection in bootloader
Another restart and I can't get into bootloader either.
So no recovery or ADB = paperweight unless someone finds a solution

Your problem was different to theirs and you have been fixed in the Androwook thread. Yours was caused by the pad firmware not installing properly the first time and freezing your screen and buttons.
I have the same problem...

Hi,I have a transformer prime which was running on Energy Rom ICS 4.1.
Yesterday I thought of updating it to Energy JB rom.
The post said it needs updated bootloader as well so I downloaded the bootloader package (TWRP 2.5) but did not know that it formats the tablet completely.
So I flashed it but when it restarted the tab I saw Asus logo & blue progress bar & on top left it said formatting internal storage so I forced shutdown the tab by keeping power key pressed.
But now I am unable to install any ICS rom as it flashes the rom but gets stuck on the boot animation.
I tried installing Energy JB & Androwook JB rom but has lot of force close issues, camera doesnt work.
I tried installing TWRP 2.5 using fastboot but my laptop says usb device not recognised.
Downloaded naked universal usb driver but dont know what to do with them as there is no setup (exe or msi) file in that zip.
I even tried flashing older ics version of bootloader & repeated the whole procedure but doesnt help.
PLEASE HELP ME OUT. I CANNOT POST IN THE ENERGY ROM'S POST AS IT DOESNT ALLOW ME

You messed up by forcing shutdown but I think you know that now..
The only thing I can suggest is if you can still use TWRP then first go to wipe menu and format data, wipe system, wipe dalvik and then wipe cache.
Now try to install your rom.
If this still does not work then try getting the downgrade.zip from the hairybean thread and flashing it in twrp and then restarting and letting it fill all the blue line this time.
At this point you should be able to install a 4.1.1 rom so just try Hairybean 1.51 for now doing all the same wipes as before.
If this works then go and follow the same Energy rom instructions before but without killing the install.
Thanks but I have allready tried that
Hi, I have already tried downgrading bootloader from both Energy Rom thread as well as Androwook thread.
TWRP is still working on my tab & when I flashed downgrade.zip from Hairybean thread,it says successful but does'nt ask for restart,even after rebooting from twrp menu,it again restarts into twrp & i tried androwook ics rom but gets stuck on bootanimation same as Energy Ics based rom.
Any advice????

First of all please stop flashing things. You are mentioning ICS and Jellybean and the new bootloader and different versions of TWRP that are only compatible with certain bootloaders. You will brick it if you are not careful if you haven't already.
Power off and then hold down the power button and volume down the same time. You should get into the bootloader menu with icons.
At the top left of the screen there should be some writing with a long number.
Tell me what that number is please and also tell me what icons are on the screen.

Hi, every time I switch on my tablet now, it goes into TWRP by default, even on pressing power + volume down buttons it does not show me any icons but straightaway boots into TWRP, I tried installing Androwooks JB Rom (which was buggy before but atleast working), but it again reboots into TWRP recovery by default, I did all the wiping before installing as well.
When I power on my tab, all I see is ASUS logo in middle & on top left it says "device is unlocked", then straight into TWRP recovery.
I think I have screwed up big time.
Please help
im on stock root and i wanted to hopefully flash a rom, but first i needed a custom recovery. On my phone, i downloaded Rom manager and it asked me to install cwm. it found my device and it downloaded and said installed successfully. i rebooted into recovery and from there it loops and boots into recovery non stop. i remove the battery and put it back in and it still tries to boot into recovery with the loop. (Semi-fix) when i remove my battery and boot into download mode. i can cancel it and it will skip trying to boot into recovery and load just fine. i can then shut down or restart as needed. but booting back into recovery will start the issue over again. i just want to know a safe way to have cwm on my note 3, or how to revert it back to normal. any help please?

Pull battery let it sit for two minutes. Push menu button, volume down button, and power button at the same time boot into download mode. once there flash a fresh copy of your OS which ever version of KitKat your running. You lose all your personal data, but your beyond that now. Then here is link to my thread should answer all your questions http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 enjoy !!!

Yeah ive said it a few times this should not be used
If youve bricked your phone you can get back into your phone by holding volume down menu botton and power botton at the same time when it pops up the warning screen to enter download mode hit cancel your phone will then boot up after your phone is on if you do not have a computer the way you fix the phone so you dont have to do this every time your phone is off you need mobile odin and a kitkat cwm.img.tar for our phone flash it and problem solved you can now boot into cwm recovery then if you want you can flash a twrp img zip through cwm or just keep cwm hope this helps
Ps if you Google mobile odin the dev gives it away on his xda mobile odin page

First, pull the battery for a minute then reinstall hold the power, menu, and volume down buttons at the same time and boot into download mode. The version of Phil'z CWM you flashed is to old for 4.4.4 NK4. Now download to your desktop the right Philz CWM recovery file (Phil'z_Touch_6.48.4-hlte.tar.md5 ) here is the link https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/hlte/ there are two listed use the second one. Flash with odin and you should be good to go. Go to my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 for more info.
done exactly as you said and the same screen came up saying recovery is not seandroid enforcing and then it jumps to Philz Touch 6 so im assuming everything is right now...i really appreciate the help! tyvm

ok..i installed cyanogen rom..i also used titanium backup..i want to go back to where i was but i dont see titanium backup on there anymore..how do i revert back?
