I have CWM 5.8.2.0 on my prime. I tried flashing the Energy rom (thread here)from a CM rom. CWM said that the rom flashed successfully but since that reboot, the prime only boots into CWM. I have tried flashing to other roms and even restoring to a backup I made before the flash to the Energy rom, but nothing has helped.
I have read many threads on possible ways to resolve the bootloop, but my computer is not recognizing the prime while it is in CWM and CWM 5.8.2.0 does not support external memory, so I cannot throw any more files on the device.
Please help me move some files onto my prime.

I would love to flash TWRP but I cannot get any files on my prime as I stated in the OP. The version of CWM I have does not support the external memory and the device is not recognized in adb. adb is set up correctly because it works with my phone and normally with my prime. I am looking for solutions as to how to move on from where I am.

I have just bought a refurb Folio 100, and need some help in installing ROMs. the only experience i have had with android is from my HD2, Desire and Galaxy Europa, so I don't know if the folio works in the same way.
Usually, you do some kind of flash to get a recovery partition installed (I have used Clockwork mod in the past) then from that you can install the ROM from an SD card.
My main question is how do you get the recovery partition installed onto the folio? I have seen all kinds of different methods so I want to make sure I am getting it right!
You must use fastboot
It is recommended to use fastboot, since it is less likely to cause issues or conflicts.
The alternative is to place the recovery as update.zip in the root folder of your sd card, boot into Toshiba recovery and apply update.zip ;-)
how do i go about using fastboot? i know how to enter fastboot, but i dont know where to go from there
never mind, i worked it out for my self
It doesn't seem real common, but I seem to have permabricked my nook. I can't connect to it via adb, can't boot to recovery from sd or the emmc, and can't seem to get it to recover via sdcard. I've tried Adam's Unbuntu Unbrick, copying the recovery to the sdcard, and trying to recover to 1.4.2 via the sdcard.
How I broke it:
I installed Goomanager and installed TWRP, and then flashed to CM9 with the 3.0 kernel. The recovery and CM9 were working as well as could be expected, but CM9 had too many Sleep of Death issues so I decided I wanted to roll back to a nandroid backup of CM7. TWRP couldn't see my backups, so I decided I'd flash the recovery back to CWM via indirect's nookrecoveryflasher.apk. This was the end.
The symptoms:
I rebooted after using the nookrecoveryflasher flashing back to CWM, and now it just displays the n with the copyright info. It then flashes white briefly, then a slightly bigger n is displayed, it gets brighter, then dimmer, then a black screen (still backlit). The charger goes from red-orange to green after the screen goes black, and charging appears to be halted. If I hold down the power button for 8 secs, the backlight goes off and the charger light turns back to red-orange and it seems to charge. ADB lists no devices.
Are there any suggestions for things I should try that I haven't already? I thought this was pretty much unbrickable but something went really badly, and this should have been a relatively "safe" operation.
Update:
I'm now able to boot to CWM from the SD card, not sure why I couldn't previously. From here I did a nandroid restore of CM7, but after restore/reboot, it gives me the exact same symptoms. I also tried to flashing the CM7, CM9 roms, but still doesn't seem to actually boot into them. Is there a way to complete unroot/reset from recovery?
Did you try removing and inserting the sdcard back in while in twrp?
I stayed with cwm and I was able to flash both kernel versions of cm9 just fine. Since u already tried the 1.4.2 revert to stock, your situation seems quite troublesome indeed

I can't get into either TWRP or CWM now.
Hm sounds like your recovery is screwed up...

Do you know what kind of bootloader you are using? Is it cyanoboot?
Sent from my Nook Tablet using xda premium
Cyanoboot was installed when I installed CM9, but after trying to flash back to TWRP, it doesn't seem to be coming up any more.
Wow that's unfortunate. I was thinking if u were using cyanoboot you would be able to hold the n button to choose where to boot from...

Have you tried burning a clockworkmod recovery image to an sdcard and booting into cwm via said sdcard? If you can get this to work, you can flash the internal cwm recovery zip to overwrite the internal recovery partition.
Also try the 8 failed boots method. Each time you see the gray n logo dissapear when powering on, pressand hold both the n button and the power button until your nook tablet shuts off. Repeat this 8 times and your tablet should be forced to boot into recovery mode. Good luck!

I don't think that will work, as it sounds as though the recovery partition was broken with indirect's app (it happens and I think there is a thread he made with 1 method of fixing broken partitions but it requires you to have drivers set up properly for it).
I had this same thing happen to me when indirect pushed his new app that supports the 8GB and 16gb models out. I got the big N and I ended up flashing cwm via sdcard cwm and then flashing cm9 again via the newly flashed internal cwm.
Yes I've tried putting CWM on the sdcard but the same thing happens. I've also tried 3 different sdcards 2,8,16Gb. I've tried meghd00t's repart.img and it all behaves the same. It's as if the code that gets called to read the sdcard is broken now.
It sounds like after that white flash is when CMW should load but instead I get a bit bigger n, and then it goes black.
I'm now able to boot to CWM from the SD card, not sure why I couldn't previously. From here I did a nandroid restore of CM7, but after restore/reboot, it gives me the exact same symptoms. I also tried to flashing the CM7, CM9 roms, but still doesn't seem to actually boot into them. Is there a way to complete unroot/reset from recovery?

try locating the stock 1.4.2 rom in the development section and flash that. see if it works.
In general if you are in CWM you have adb access at that time. The world is at your wish when adb works. Push stock recovery, etc., etc. Instead of trying to flash (which continues to fail) use adb to recover by of the many methods available. I would begin with pushing stock recovery and boot recovery (by command or power + N).
Good Luck.

Did you flash TWRP using the .zip from the 1st-2nd page? That TWRP .zip is bugged so as not to recognize an external sd. I had a problem like this until I used a recovery sd (ill put a link in here in a sec)
I had a terrible 13 hour run of trying to fix it before I finally got it to boot, then I opened up my gmail inbox and found out that I had won a Transformer Pad 300 from Phandroid.com, needless to say after 13 hours I was nearly hysteric when I found this out, hope your issue gets resolved.
I also couldnt mount sd, couldnt adb, couldnt fastboot, couldnt get sd to show up in TWRP so maybe this method will work:

Hi,
I have a rooted (using Indirect's method, I believe, with help from Albert W.'s video) Nook Tablet 16GB. I'd like to try a custom ROM and installed GooManger (1.2.1). I can download a recovery file (openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1 -blaze.img), and it says it installed it, but when I try to boot into recovery ("Reboot recovery" option) it just reboots normally. If I try to browse compatible ROMs, it says "No roms were found".
Googled but could not find an answer. I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction!
Thanks,
Pat

I think you're trying to use the wrong recovery file. Try downloading CWM or TWRP from the links listed in the first post of this thread -- I've used both with no problems on my NT.

Removing CM9
HELP! I installed CM9 on my nook tablet 8gb and I am not happy with it. I want to take it back to stock so I can load CM7. HOWEVER I cannot find a single website with this information. I keep trying to power it off and then hold the power and n to no avail. The cyanoboot menu just loads and I cant load any of the ROMs. Its really pissing me off and I would like to just get rid of this os. Can anyone help?

You don't need to go back to stock to downgrade from CM9 to CM7. All you need to do is boot into recovery and flash the new ROM. With that being said, it would be well worth your time to start by installing Titanium Backup and backing up your system before you do anything else... That will let you restore any apps you've downloaded and want to keep (along with their settings and data), which will eliminate one headache after you flash the new ROM...
Review this thread from Lavero.Burgos about installing a customer recovery on your tablet. You've already got one installed if you're running CM9, but the thread has got lots of really good info, and if you have the Clockwork Mod 6.x recovery installed, you need to replace that with Clockwork Mod 5.x to flash CM7.
Next, check this thread from Celtic Web Solutions. The link to the internal CM7 ROM is in the first thread, along with the instructions for installing this ROM to your emmc (internal) storage.
Now, when you start you tablet, instead of holding Power + n to boot into recovery, wait for the Cyanoboot splash screen to open (the one that says CYANOBOOT, not the animated CM9 splash screen), then press and hold the n button until the boot menu appears. From here you can select to boot normally into CM9, into your internal recovery, or into a recovery.img loaded on your SD card. Select one of the recovery options, and you should be able to do a nandroid backup of your device, then install CM7. Since you're changing to a completely new ROM, I strongly recommend that you do a factory wipe/reset as well as wiping the cache partition and Dalvik cache.
NOTE: There's a big difference between an Titanium Backup backup and a Nandroid backup! You'll want to do both as you go through this. Titanium Backup will take a snapshot of your apps (including the settings and data associated with them) that you can restore after installing the new ROM. Super helpful, since you don't have to re-install everything from the Play Store, nor do you lose data like savegames, etc. Nandroid runs from recovery mode, and will do a complete image of your system, including the ROM. It protects you in case you run into a major problem while flashing a new ROM -- it's saved my life a couple of times...
So my tablet won't get past the Asus start up screen, but I did manage to get CWM working, problem is that I have no roms on my internal SD, because I wiped everything trying to fix stuff with WSG Flasher (didn't work).
I've tried everything, but I'm at a total loss here. adb won't work, even after I installed that dreadful Asus PC Suite, WSG FLasher doesn't work because adb doesn't work and
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash somerom.zip
doesn't work either.
I've tried installing dozens of roms and CWM versions through fastboot, but none worked. The only CWM image that did work was called "recover-jb.img" that I got from here, though it's kind of useless if I can't install any roms.
Any suggestions, or should I just throw my tablet out?

what were you doing when you started having trouble? are you on jb or ics bootloader where is the nvida on your splash screen?

I was trying to install CM10, initially installing any CM rom would fail because CWM would say "assert failed, model is not tf201" (It is most certainly a transformer prime, I checked double checked) I edited the updater-script file in the .zip to skip the model check, after that installing the rom went just fine, it would just hang indefinitely on the splash screen.
The tablet is on the jb bootloader, the nvidia logo is in the bottom right corner.

let me get this straight. you can figure out how to change the updater.script but you insist on using cwm? Fastboot twrp to your prime and install a rom zip from your microsd.

Err, I didn't even know there was an alternative to cwm... At any rate, will twrp allow me to transfer files? My microsd is empty due a hardwipe I did.
Yes. TWRP Allows you to also flash zips from micro sd . Altrough I'm not sure can you install it from the situation you're in.

first you need the drivers for fastboot installed to your pc. you can accomplish this by following the advice given here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34477256&postcount=5703
Next you need a working twrp which will help you install a rom from your external microsd card. get that here. and follow his install istructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34359560&postcount=5497
then I recommend grabbing this rom to install from your microsd using twrp.
AndroWook Prime Hairy Bean v1.4
www.gamerzxtreme.com/AndroWook_Hairy_Bean_v1.4_FINAL_1.zip
you should only need to follow these instructions from there.
Download AndroWook Prime Hairy Bean v1.4 from one of the links above and copy to either root of internal SD or micro SD.
Boot into recovery (TWRP) and wipe cache, dalvik cache and factory reset. You can wipe system as well if you want a total deep clean but do so at your own risk.
Select to install ROM from SD and follow on screen prompts.
When install completed allow 30-60 mins for the system to cache itself upon which time you should now have a nice smooth TP.
Enjoy!
Hi everyone, I recently bought a springboard s7-303u on ebay and the tablet works great. I wanted to start flashing roms to the device so I installed TWRP. When I try perform a backup to sd card using TWRP it always gets stuck after it finishes backing up the system partition. I have a similar problem with cwm as well. Trying to flash a zip from a sd card results in the device getting stuck as well. The device is currently running the stock honeycomb OS. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be, or have any suggestions. Any help would be appreciated. BTW I used the "Auto_recovery_installer_for_huawei_mediapad" that is posted in the development section to install twrp and cwm.
