Hello!
So when i boot my tablet holding power button and volume - button my tablet enter into special asus menu, and there are some options. I don't know what is RCK. When i choose it after a few secounds i can see android with red triangle above. I also find some infos that i can flash firmware using this option. So can anybody tell me what is it and if it is possibble to flash tablet using this, how to do it?
Sent from my ME301T using xda premium
i don't know how it works... but it is the stock recovery on our me301t
just to say you can install upgrade e downgrade (yes even if asus says not ) without RCK utility, simply unzip (once not twice) the firmware, you can download from asus site, into root directory of your sd (formatted as fat32)... insert it into a tablet (off mode)... power on and in the bottom angle near clock you must see a triangle with exclamation mark that informs you can upgrade/downgrade your tablet...
maybe you can try info on RCK on TF300 forum... both tablet are similar use
So,what if i brick my tablet and get bootloop. How to flash firmware?
it seems you can flash file as .blob with RCK but I don't know how...
if you'll brick the tablet i think there is no more chance that send it to asus RMA but first you'll can try to flash stock firmware .blob with RCK
now... with your tablet completely functional if you want to try it only at your own risk :fingers-crossed:
I don't know if RCK works with firmware you can download from asus site in .zip format or once unzip it or unzip twice and use the .blob file... I don't know if RCK works with this files insert in external SD or internal memory (but if you have bricked the tablet how can you put the file into it???) or you need help by adb command (usb debug) and the last but not the least are you sure that RCK works if the tablet is bricked or need it in function? my phone samsung for example needs, to replace stock rom, odin software on a pc to flash it on the phone even if I can't access to the recovery partition
I'm sorry can not help you more, try asking some of the functionality of RCK dev in section TF300

I'm new to Android, my first step was to research hardware and functionality. The choice, you guest it, gtab!
Now of to the good stuff. I ultimately want to root and update my Rom to vegan5.1. So far I have downloaded cwv08, upload downgrade and vegan. The problem is that when I try to restart using power + volume +, I do see the open box screen but then it just loads tnt and resumes boot. There has to be a step I must be missing here. Like I said I'm new to grab and android. Where do I start?
To my understanding, power with volume + without cwm install will run the command file in recovery folder. Preharps u are missing the file, preharps u are not naming the file correctly; too little details provided to tell..
try reading : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
same box with green arrow
I too have installed clockwork. Downgrade the bootloader then try to reboot into clockwork using the + and power. The tab acts like it is going to enter recovery says "Detect recover key press
Booting to recovery image"
Then it goes to that screen with he box with a green down arrow coming out of it and a progress bar. When it finishes it reboots. Still at stock rom, no joy at all.
A couple things I have tried. Copying a new update.zip to the root of the internal memory and the sd card, reboot with and without the sdcard inserted, rebooting normal then trying to get reboot recovery with + and power, copying the cwm update and recovery folder into root. No joy each time it it is the update box. I have not tried holding the recovery keys down in the dark while chanting xda but I think I missed my chance for that working last Friday.... when is the next Friday the 13th?
Thanks for any help or insight anyone can give us.
Bednab,I could not have explained any better. This is exactly what happens with mine. Today I encountered another challenge. My gtab will not connect to my-fy on open iphone. I have to figure this out before my road trip next month.
and there was much rejoicing
I kept at this and finally found a solution. A post pointed me to the answer on androidforums about the command file getting deleted out of the recovery folder after a successful update. I opened the recovery folter on the g tab and it was empty so I opened the one from cwm and edited it to this:
--update_package=SDCARD2:/update.zip
This way it points to my external card where I had a few custom roms. Copied it to the recovery folder in the root of the gtab, reboot into recovery mode and much joy!
This will also unroot, relock bootloader, and send phone back to stoock rom, but if you have a backed up rom then they can all be reversed easily.
I am new to this and this will be my 1st post so bare with me. I've tried to make the difficulty very easy for beginners because I'm a beginner.

Yesterday I Bricked my phone trying to unroot and stock my Photon. I was
searching and trying different techniques to unbrick it for 7 HOURS!!! So I put a bunch of stuff together to get to this...
Requirements:
1.Motorola Photon 4G
2.PC
3.Backup ROM on PC or External SD Card (If you don't have one backed up then find a ROM that supports Motorola Photon 4G
4.Android SDK on PC:developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
How I unbricked my phone:
Charge your battery to 100% if you can before starting
1. Install one of the SBF files with RSD Lite on (this will take you back to stock, which means this will unroot your phone and relock your bootloader if it's unlocked. But they both can easily go back to rooted and unlocked)
Follow the directions:youtube.com/watch?v=J94VcWk-CJc&feature=relmfu
2. After thats done try to restart your phone
If it doesn't boot all the way up then don't worry...
Turn your phone off by taking the battery out.
3. Go on your PC go to the folder of your backup rom (or take your external sd card out of your phone and put that into the PC and copy the backup somewhere on the PC then put the sd card back into your phone) and you should have the following files inside the folder of the backup you chose... "boot.img" and "recovery.img" Copy those files to the Android folder in your C: directory. C:/Users/(name of your PC/Android) mine would be in the C:/Users/LocoRobo/Android directory, yours will be different. (if yours is not in that directory then you will have find where you put it or where android sdk extracted it to)
4. Hit the "start" button on PC then type "cmd" into the search box then you should see a program at the top that says 'cmd.exe' open that.
5. You should see a line that says C:/Users/(the name of your PC) that's good. (if your Android folder (or android-sdk folder) is not in that location then you'll have to find out where it is and navigate to it on cmd) now type "cd Android" (or "android-sdk" if you don't have a folder name android) in the command box.
Now we will start.
6. While phone is off and go into fastboot mode (hold the vol. down key and the power key at the same time until you see 'fastboot' on the top of your screen) once you're their, hit the vol. up key, then you should see something on your screen like "entering fastboot protocol support" (I really don't remember) now connect your phone to your PC.
7. Got back to cmd that you have open in your PC. Type in the following commands into the command box (beginner note: hit enter after each command):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -w
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
8. You're phone will reboot and it should power all the way up!!!
Now if you want to reroot and reunlock your phone then follow these steps as well. (this will also get you back your service as well)
9. When your phone first reboots it will go into setup and stuff, just skip everything except the google account login.
10. Watch and follow these video's instructions (doesn't matter which order):
Reroot:youtube.com/watch?v=SaJ0uiExdFM
Reunlock:youtube.com/watch?v=BwRjFrzClBs
11. Now download Rom Manager from the market and go into the app and hit "flash clockworkmod recovery" Now hit "reboot into recovery" go into recovery and restore your backup (a working one of course)
And That's all folks!!! If you like and it works please hit thank you or whatever! Any questions ask and i'll try my best to answer them (I'm still new to this).
Oh yeah and thanx to QBKing77 for the videos.

If you can do this, then your phone isn't bricked. It may be broked, but it ain't bricked. It's only a brick when you can't flash something and get it working again. By definition, there is no unbrick.
So you're saying that if i bricked my phone I would not be able to use it ever again? I know that If you can get into the recovery mode you are not bricked, but when I did this the only thing i could go to was fastboot mode and rsd mode (recovery wouldn't open) so it really was a brick.

Yes, that's what makes it a brick.

Nope, it was just broken. But fixable. I've had plenty of times my phone was unusable. If you spend much time hacking and flashing, you will, too. But as long as you can flash, you can fix it, and it's not bricked.
I didn't flash anything. I use rsd lite through a PC (maybe you could call that a flash but thats more of a forced flash from a PC, then just being able to download a flash normally through your phone). I've broken my phone about 5 times now and I've only had this phone for like 2 or 3 weeks. The times I broke it is when i was still able to go into clockworkmod (recovery mode). This last time, I couldn't do anything but fastboot and rsd mode.

RSD is definitely for flashing. In fact, I'd say this is more "flashing" than is installing a zip file in recovery, since the latter is really just basic file operations that you theoretically could do while Android was running, if the files you're replacing aren't in use.
It's unlikely that anybody will call you out for arguable semantics of the word "flashing", but "brick" is pretty strictly defined as "no good for anything but a paperweight, unless you have warranty service, and then only if the shop tech doesn't figure out what you've done." If you can fix it (and if you can flash anything via any method, you can), it's not bricked, just borked.
Okie dokie then. If thats what u believe then you can tell the world because most people call things like this (the post) a brick...
I've never heard anything like (what you're sayin) that...
Yeah, you definitely didn't have a brick. I truly bricked my epic touch the other day along with many other people and the only solution was to get a replacement. It's very hard to brick a photon or most other motorola phones that have an available sbf file to flash with rsd lite. I started with the original Droid and have heard of maybe 2 or 3 true bricks, and those were phones that devs were using to test the boundaries of the phone.
And you're correct that a lot of people say they bricked their phone. But that doesn't mean that they actually did.
okay I see.
I needed to do a different step
I did steps 1 & 2 and then my phone would boot up and show the Sprint animation and then reset. The solution was to follow the instructions on the Motorola site to factory reset from the boot loader:
Perform a factory reset using external keys
Power off the phone, press and hold volume down button, press power button
Screen will come up with "Fastboot", press Vol down key to cycle through choices until you get "Android Recovery", then press Vol up key
Wait for the "triangle ! / Android" screen then go on to step 4
Press both Vol up and Vol down key simultaneously. A menu will come up
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
After userdata is cleared, the "reboot system now" option will be highlighted by Default. Tap Power key
Phone will reboot to initial setup screen.

I recently got TF201 in Canada and updated to latest version but ran into few problems and I want to put it back to the way it was. Yes I know I could do Wipe data but its laggy after so I want to Flash it based on rom download from ASUS website. I followed these steps but When it says
"just simply copy this extracted file"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
do they mean the METAINF and the blob file? also
"press the volume down key and then the power key till the device boots up in the ROM Mode after which you will have to press the Volume up key"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the volume up key takes me to recovery and a symbol with Android laying down with red triangle on him appears and thats it nothing else.
Is there an easy way to flash? Also It there is SOP but which SD card are they talking about and do i need to root device before all this stuff. Please help.
Procedure to update Asus Eee Pad Transformer:
First up you will have to download the Zip file of Transformer 3.1 Update in which you will find the update file which you will have to download in your computer.
Now, up next with the help of the USB cable just connect the Asus Eee Pad transformer tablet with the computer in which you have extracted the file so as to copy the extracted file in the tablet.
Now, after extracting the file, just simply copy this extracted file in the Transformer tablet in the SD card and please note that don’t place the file in the inside of any folders, if placed so the file won’t be detected as an update file.
Now, after this simply turn off the device and after that press the volume down key and then the power key till the device boots up in the ROM Mode after which you will have to press the Volume up key after which the updation process will be initiated after selecting the file which you have placed in the tablet.
After the process is started, the device will take 5 – 10 minutes of time while it applies the update. As soon as the device is updated the tablet will be rebooting automatically and then a user notification will be popping up on your dock station stating the update availability notification to the version of 0209. Just follow the on screen instructions to proceed for the update and then there you go, you are ready with the update on your device

Hello.
First, sorry for my English. I hope you understand what I mean.
I wanted to install a custom rom. So I unlocked my Prime and get root.
I`ve installed the TWRP Recovery. As I wanted to flash came this message:
"assert failed: getprob("ro.product.device") =="tf201"
getprob("ro.build.product") =="tf201"
E:Error in /sdcard/baked_tf201_blackbean-6.zip
(Status 7)
After I searched some forums, I found that you have to install CWM.
I have done...
And now nothing works.
When I start it, there is only in the top left site "Your device is unlocked" and in the middle the white ASUS font.
I can not get into the recovery. The volume down method dont work. There is also the ASUS font.
I hope someone can help me with a good idea.
i think you if your tablet is rooted, you can install the recovery via CWM
then you can reboot into recovery
i remember there is a way if you aren't rooted but not too sure what it is~~
Thanks for your answer.
How should I install the CWM?
I have no contact from Windows to my prime. I can not push vol. down to come into the fastboot...
When I try to connect over adb shell, he tells me that he find no devices...
There is still the ASUS Font, not more.
If there a solution, please tell me how.
you can trying installing
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...yLDEsImNvbS5rb3VzaGlrZHV0dGEucm9tbWFuYWdlciJd
this might help and you should be able to install the recoevery via the app so long as your tab is rooted
*I'm not 100% sure this is the correct way as i have not unlocked my prime yet, if your prime becomes a brick, i hold no responsibility for it becoming a brick~~*
I think you misunderstood me...
My Prime starts neither Rom or the Recovery...
When I start the prime it happened nothing exept the white ASUS font is still in the middle...
No Boot No Recovery!!! NOTHING
But thanks for your help

Going to make a few assumptions since you haven't given a lot of detail. You probably came from ics since just unlocked. You most likely tried to install the latest twrp ( this is meant to be used with JB bootloader) now you have cwm installed but can't get to recovery. I didn't see where you have downloaded universal naked driivers so I would suggest you start with that first. That is why your pc doesn't find the tf201. Do some reading on adb and how to use it, you can find some good reading in the twrp thread.
Once you have adb and fastboot, what I would suggest is find a copy of twrp 2.2 (meant for the ics bootloader) This will need to be installed in fastboot mode. I know it is in one of the threads, look for my posts because I did attach it here for another person. Once you have twrp running, I would suggest installing androwook's hairybean, this will get you the jb bootloader.
Always always always read the OP and follow the instructions exactly.... no short cuts... when using fastboot or adb, copy the commands, (control +c) then right click in the command window and paste, this will stop you from making typing mistakes.......
Hi.
How do I do that?
When I had jelly bean I have it unlocked...
I`ve installed the TWRP Recovery, thats right.
Then I wanted to install cwm
After the reboot was no more

Do you have fastboot.exe and adb.exe on your pc? If not download android sdk...
First are you doing this?
You can do this by rebooting the device and holding the volume down key until “Checking for RCK image” appears, at this stage do nothing until the boot menu loads. Once you are at the boot menu press the volume down key until the fastboot/usb icon is selected then press the volume up key to put the device into fastboot mode.
If you can get there, then you should install twrp, since you said you were on JB then you can use the latest version...
As per the instructions put your prime in fastboot mode...
to you start a command prompt, open the fastboot directory where adb.exe is. Press and hold shift while right clicking in the window, select open command prompt here
When the instructions say to enter a command, highlight it on the webpage and copy then in your command window right click and paste (control V does not work here)
First I want to thank you for your trouble

Unfortunately, I can do nothing on Prime
I said that I can not get into the fast boot menu on my prime...
When I would go to the boot menu, it would be easy!
But unfortunately nothing is happening no matter what I press a key combination for.
I think I'll have to send reperatur at ASUS...
They will repair it to install a new motherbord and I must pay approximately 300€
What you learn from them???
If you have no idea about something let it rather be
Thanks again for all the trouble
Hi folks,
I Soft bricked my hp 8 g2 1411.
I was trying to install a recovery rom so I could install a lollipop rom.
I'm now stuck at the HP powered by Android screen. See attached.
I can't get to the recovery screen as its probably gone.
I also have the complete original ROM downloaded from HP with a folder with recovery on it...
I don't know how to get to fast mode or download mode.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Steve.
I Hope This Could Be Of Any Help
We have exactly the same device and I had exactly the same problem for like 2 weeks and I was able to fix it fortunately. So I would like to help you if in case you still needed one. I created a tinyurl of the website you got to download the stock firmware from and not the one from HP website. Then save it on the root folder of your external sd card with update.zip as the file name. Now with your tablet off simultaneously press power + volume up + volume down and once you see the HP logo release them all and you'll once again see HP logo and then the stock recovery of your tablet. Use the volume keys to navigate to "apply update via sd card" then choose the "update.zip" you downloaded. It's gonna install for about 3-5 minutes and you're good to go.
I'll pm you the link for I am not allowed to write one yet!
Cheers!

I have the same device and the same problem. However when I push the power+ volume up + volume down buttons at the same time and release when I see the HP logo, all I aver get is then HP logo Powered by Android. It never gets to the recovery screen.
Thanks Ted
Please share the link. Recently my tablet bootloop for no reason.
I had the same problem with mine and found no solution to fix it other than flash the firmware .img with a micro sdcard created with phoenix card. Sadly the firmware .img is not available from HP ...
Now 3 weeks later I compiled a custom firmware for the HP 8 G2 1411 and got everything working in Android and most of it working in TWRP (custom recovery environment)! I am in the final stage of tweaking TWRP and I should be done with it in the next days.
The release will contain:
Custom Android KitKat 4.4.2 for HP 8 G2 1411
(without HP bloatware)
Google Now default launcher
Custom recovery TWRP 2.7.01
Possible to flash superSu .zip to gain root
Flashable sdcard (need to be burn with PhoenixCard)
I can't post link in the forum right now, send me a PM if you need it!
This will fix a softbricked tablet but you will loose all your data.
It' done! How to fix a softbrick on the HP 8 G2 1411:
-Download and install PhoenixCard 3.1.0
http://www.mediafire.com/file/rlccciim76vsqnv/PhoenixCard_V3.1.0.rar
Download my custom ROM from:
https://mega.nz/#!YvRlXY5S!6Sg8r-DzMoV5Y1FUP1loCN7PbN7dwbOoPSMQXglcljI
-Prepare a micro-sd card with PhoenixCard
-Turn off tablet
-Remove top cover (where the usb port is) and put sdcard in
-Turn on tablet (be sure you have enough battery, the process takes around 3min)
-Wait until the green bar is filled, it should say Card OK on top when it's done and the tablet will turn off
-Remove sdcard (put back the compartment cover if you want)
-Turn the tablet back on again
-wait.... and...
-That's it, it should boot into Android KitKat!
If you want to boot to Recovery use adb (check google for instruction on how to install) or use a "custom power menu app"
*Don't boot to fastboot or to bootloader, this is not supported by this tablet, it will softbrick the tablet and you will have to start the process again
Features:
-Custom Android KitKat 4.4.2 for HP 8 G2 1411
(without HP bloatware)
With Google Now default launcher
-Custom recovery TWRP 2.7.01
(Possible to flash superSu.zip from recovery to gain root)
*Install from sdcard (need to be burn with PhoenixCard)
Known issues:
TWRP can't mount data partition or external sdcard
Volume button wont work during boot (they work fine once Android is loaded)
Once in a while the might wifi stop working, a reboot will fix it (very rare)
Enjoy!
I still using this tablet. I using ur rom as well. It's good. But I just realise it doesn't come with swap ram.

I did what I was able to do with my limited knowledge, at least I was able to salvage the device! I'm far from being a programmer and I think it's sad that no one tried to port a custom ROM for this device...
