hey guys, I don't know what happened to my Prime, but this is what I did:
I was on a Nexus 7 ported ROM and it was running fine. Tried to flash PARANOID ANDROID and failed. So I tried to flash Androwook, and now it's stuck on the splash screen. The only thing I can do is boot to the recovery (CWM). Is there anyway I can fix it? Is it bricked?
I am going to assume you have ADB working on your computer. Just download a new rom, your choice, and using the command
adb push C:\NAMEOFFILE \sdcard\Downloads
you don't have to put the file in the downloads folder, just an example. May need Gapps as well. Wipe and flash as normal.

Read post 2 of the androwook thread and get twrp installed.
Make sure you do the ICS to JB upgrade before flashing a Jellybean TWRP. The correct bootloader is the most important part about twrp
And while you still have a chance and are still on the ICS bootloader do this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774352
It wont work once you have Jellybean

Hi, so I bought a used TF201 from someone that had already rooted and put CM10 on the tablet. However, idiot me decided to factory reset using the system settings instead of going into the CWM and doing a factory reset. This put me into a CWM loop, as I could only boot into CWM recovery mode. I used this guide to unbrick my device, and it worked. However, the problem is that everytime I want to update CM10 to a new nightly, I get stuck in CWM recovery again, and have to apply the fix every time. Is there any way to fix this? I don't want to have to do the unbricking every time I update CM10. Thanks!

Stop using CWM. That is what is causing all your problems. Go to TWRP website and get ICS version. Make sure you don't flash the jellybean version on your ICS bootloader or you might brick it.
Father wants JB on his TF201, I thought this shouldn't be difficult doing since I had a droid, and a galaxy nexus before and it was simple. He for some reason already had it unlocked, so that took out one step.
I flashed TWRP (http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/93) for ICS since he was still on ICS. Booted into Recovery, then flashed Energy (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982156).
Now it just sits at the splash screen.
Afterwords I did flash or install nvflash so now it says AndroidRoot 9.4.3.20r01 in the top left when booting... but Not sure what that gets me at this point.
I can boot up into TWRP and re flash Energy but it still doesn't work. Wiped Cache / Wiped system. So what do I need to do to get this working now?

since you have ics bootloader (nvidia logo on bottom center of splash screen) you need to install a rom that has the jellybean bootloader. easiest way to do this is follow this post. After that you can install any jellybean rom that requires official bootloader.

After I attempted to install the CM 11 preview that just came out it seems as though I get stuck in a boot loop. I am able to get into the bootloader but not the recovery. The reason I think I am stuck in the boot loop is because I did not know you had to flash the boot.img that was inside the .zip file, and went ahead and flashed the .zip in my current recovery. I am just wondering if I could still fastboot flash the boot.img file without causing even more problems.
Yes, in the forum the ROM was posted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2-tablet/orig-development/z2-tabletdevelopment-cm11-android-4-4-t2809793) but I guess I didn't see that he said it was in the zip :silly:.
Nonetheless, I just don't want to hard brick the device so that is why I am asking. Thanks in advance for anyone that can help!

Just to clarify first, do you have a 4G tablet or wifi version? And which one did you flash (castor or castor_windy)

Opps, meant to mention that. I have the castor_windy version (Wi-Fi) model and flashed the castor_windy zip. I also meant to mention that I have an unlocked bootloader with the CWM based recovery (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708194). I don't think this is as important but I do have the 16GB storage. I earlier said I could not get into that recovery that I have installed, but the violet light still goes on when I boot, but nothing else.

Ok no problem, Have you tried flashing CWM through fastboot, then reinstalling ROM through CWM?
If that can't be done, Can you flash this castor_windy version https://mega.co.nz/#!mJ5VTATR!Rb9pX0a4drAkVX53Mjf6_vZr8FqX0UzXcf1nSTzj_Fk
through fastboot, then immediately flash CWM to secure a recovery.
The link is the castor_windy ROM without having to flash a boot.img separately. Thats your safest solution instead of flashing boot.img
Thank you, just re-flashing the recovery from the thread I linked seemed to do the trick. Maybe I will try and flash Cyanogenmod later now that I got the stock ROM working again. At least I was smart enough to make a nandroid backup in CWM before hand though!
Again, thanks alot!

Good to hear!
Sent from my Xperia Z2 Tablet Wifi using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hi all,
bad day for me... It seems that I bricked my Z2 Tablet tonight.
At the beginning, I just wanted to install CM11.
My Z2 is a SGP512 Wifi only. So, regarding the page http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/07/12/cyanogenmod-11-nightly-builds-start-for-xperia-z2-tablet/ , it says : "There are currently nightly builds for the Wi-Fi variants (SGP511, SGP512) of the Xperia Z2 Tablet under codename “Castor Windy”" .
So I downloaded Castor Windy and put it in the tablet.
After that, I did had to install a recovery. I succeeded to install XZDualRecovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2794175). Once installled, I went into TWRP Recovery , started to wipe all. And next step, I began to install zip Castor Windy. At this time, TWRP tells me that Castor Windy is not for my tablet model. And I have to use Castor. Problem. I wiped all. So, I have to mount the Tablet systems and drives to put the new Castor zip downloaded. But I'm unable to mount. Nothing is mounted. I tried to use adb to connect while I was in TWRP but nothing worked. I wanted to use adb to send on one of partitions the new downloaded rom. I was unable to do that.
Finally, I shut down my tablet. I took the SD Card to put it into my PC and to put on it the downloaded Rom. And when I wanted to restart the Tablet, only the Sony Logo appears and I'm not anymore able to enter in recovery mode. ADB and Fastboot fail to detect my tablet.
I'm totally lost, and I fear that all is lost.
Please, help me, I just would like to enter recovery and flash Castor Rom.... :crying:
Thanks a lot by advance.
Tom.

hello friends wanted to know if I could help with a rom I put my htc Rezound which was its official rom 4.0.3 with locked bootloader unlock with which HTCDev because my wifi and bluetooth problems and change the boot.img and the cell was bricked me in htc screen and there is no step more, then install android systen recovery and install the rom you liquidsmooth and kenel funky but the Rezound stays in the animation of the rom and there does not pass I wonder if someone could help me I'm s-on bootloader unlock if any rom that works well with me these try installing an exe ruu but I think the 115 Error error loading the image. Thanks I hope to fix my htc.
What recovery did you use? Did you ever flash the boot.img after flashing the ROM? Also, you can't run a RUU without really being S-OFF. If you want some good ROMs, try out Chucktr's CM 11, bunchies Liquid smooth 3.2, or some other newer ROMs. Any should do. But after flashing them in recovery. You have to flash the boot.img manually in fastboot. Or else you will be stuck on boot logo forever. If you want to get back to stock, we can do that after you get booted.

I just pulled out my old Transformer Prime, and i want to install CM11 on it - unfortunally after trying and trying i cant get it to work, so i hope you guys can help
I am currently running AndroWook Version 2.11- when I boot with VolDown it writes the bootloader is version "ww_epad-10.6.1.8-20130225". Im unsure if this is JellyBean or IceCream bootloader?
I can boot into AndroWook, but I can not boot into Recovery... I have tried to flash many other Recoveries with Flashify from AndroWook, but without any luck - Anyone know what i'm doing wrong, please write if you need any other info.
Thanks!
