Hi,
I am planning to install heairybean ROM. When I boot in recovery (vol dwn + power -> vol up), I get Android with tummy open and red triangle. I think I have unblocked the bootloader (I see 4 icons after hitting vol dwn + power). Is there any stock recovery available? What I am missing? How can i proceed with the recovery installation?
Thanks in advance.

i got the same thing bud. and have no idea how to fix it? my tf201 is rooted and unlocked 100%. but beside the shrek with the red triangle i noticed that connecting the tablet to any (mac,linux,windows) laptop i cant comunicate to it through adb or fastboot. i get it that in windows you need to find the right drivers (which i've done) but in linux i even have installed the whole android SDK. even that didnt help. still cant talk to the tablet. USB debugging is enabled......
any ideas?
First of all you both need to find what Android versions you are on.
Look in settings - about and see what android version it is (e.g. 4.1.1)
If you are on 4.1.x then when you boot into bootloader menu you press volume down to move to the usb icon and then press volume up to access fastboot.
Drivers for fastboot are here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502
If you need adb and fastboot exe's then here. http://flumpster.lolcakes.com/android/ADB&Fastboot.zip

I flashed the clockworkmod for the first time. After that went back to menu by holding power + vol - but I can only see the usb icon and downloading icon. No recovery option. if I go into usb mode it just stucks there and on top bootloader: uknown. Anyone know what's up? I'm using the google IO tablet btw.

Have you flashed the recovery or just booted it.....anyways
If you have got a rom with extended power menu you can reboot in recovery that way...
If not, get your recover.img and put it in a folder on pc.
go into fastboot mode (vol. down. / Power then select USB) and type :
Fastboot boot recovery <path>recovery.img
you could also try ROM manager...
No USB-boot
I got the exact opposite/same issue on my 10.1v,
I can only see the recovery and Downloading... icons and not fastboot.
See attachment for a screenpicture of what I get when pressing VolDown + Power.
Recovery, adb, and rooted ROM all work great - but fastboot aint an option...
Can't test isimobile's ICS-rom without fastboot
edit:
attachment buggered up.

Thanks for the tips on using ROM manager. That solved my problem, finally able to try the CM9 Kangs rom
I got a tablet device (Omega OT107) I've rooted it using
Code:
ro.kernel.qemu
method.
Next I'm triying to flash Custom Recovery and my problems started here.
What I've tried:
1.
Code:
flash_image recovery
- no success process of flashing never ends
2. Install bootmenu to /data/bootmenu
3. Installed 2 different 2Init's
None of this worked or even had an impact on how device works (it always boots in android correctly).
I've tried to boot it to fastboot mode to flash recovery from there but there is a problem that I have.
Volume(up or down) + Power buttons starts device to Android not to bootloader (I've read you need to remove and reinsert battery to make it work, but device has a build in batery and needs to be taken apart to remove it so I did not tryed it)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
- boots to what I think is a bootloader (screen is black(no light is comming out of it)) when connected to Windows PC it is seen as Android Bootloader Interface (Android-SDK driver).
Code:
fastboot devices
does not discover any devices, clicking volume or power button does nothing.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
- boots devices it what seems to be useless recovery mode. At start there is a standing android dude with fireball on his chest, and imidietly changes to a lying position with his chest oppened and an exclamation mark comming out of it (I've red it is ok and I need to press Volume(down/up) + Power buttons to open recovery menu but it does not happen).
My question is:
Is it normal to some devices bootloader to look like mine? How to make it discoverable to fastboot?
I had this issue and I fixed with "press all the buttons!" and suddenly I sow recovery menu...to factory reset. if it doesn't work repeat with rebooting with pin
Does someone knows a way how to hard reset this thing?? ^^
about firmware
Any idea where find the firmware for this tablet?
Mine is now freeze on recovery logo
hard reset OT107
1.Turn off our tablet.
2 We press the MENU button at the same time + POWER HOUSE click and hold
3.Wait until the Android image.
4.Then VOL + button and the POWER and appears to us to Recovery Mode
5.Navigation is Vol-i + and confirmed by pressing POWER.
I was going to try one of the new jelly bean roms for my GTab. It required running a prep file to change format. Here is where I am now:
I can connect to Win7 PC in apx mode (I assume it is connected propoerly it shows up in device manager as "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices"
When I run NVFlash from the cmd window it appears to go through but I can't boot into clockworkmod recovery (Vol + and Pwr) nor when I hold down either the power button or try to at least see the birds prior to going back into apx mode by holding down Vol - and pwr. Nothing shows on the screen. The only time I see anything on the screen is when I go into apx mode while connected to the PC. If I run NVFlash the screen shows one line at the top "Entering NVFlash recovery mode. Other than that don't get anything.
I did open up the device and press the reset. Still have not been able to get the device to do anything but allow me to connect to PC in apx mode.
Any help would be appreciated.

Go back to a 1.1 bootloader by flashing bekit's nvflash images, then run the commands in this thread; and continue posting there.

What's the exact on-screen message. In APX mode, you won't see anything on the screen except a message similar to that.
I am not sure how I bricked it, but I have tried to install both twrp recovery and cwm recovery but I couldn't get it to boot into recovery.
Then I tried goo manager and recovery. But now it won't boot at all.
If just hold down the power button it comes with Asus logo and doesnt come any further.
The same thing hold down power and volume down.
If I hold down vol up and power I just get a black screen.
I have installed universal naked driver to install apx drivers and it cant find it in device manager, but in "my pc" or whats it called in english.
I have tried to install adb but that cant find the device either.
Any advice what to do?
Edit: it is both unlocked and rooted

You have killed it mate by trying to flash a recovery onto it that wasn't meant for that boot loader.
APX mode is only any good if you have nvflash backups which you don't mention so absolutely nothing you can do.
I accidently flashed the lineage 16 recovery instead of lineage 17.1 recovery. I tried to install the 17.1 update through updater but my phone stuck into recovery mode. Neither I can boot into bootloader nor to android. I can''t flash anything. Power + volume down and connect the cable also not working to go into bootloader. Even bootloader option within the recovery also brings me back to recovery mode. ...adb devices command is also showing "device offline". Any help will be appreciated.
you should start from the beginning
is your bootloader still unlocked?

I can't go into fastboot mode. Is there any other way to check it?
Thank you @stukka2006 for replying me. I guess I saved my phone. So here what I did-
1. Extracted the stock firmware (Luckily I had one but can be found in the forum) and copied the dload folder to sdcard (as I was not able to access internal storage). (@stukka2006 your hint to start from the beginning)
2. Power off the phone and pressed Both volume buttons + power button simultaneously. After the vibration I left the power button while still holding both vol buttons till software update screen appears. But software update failed. So I just touched the reboot now option. The phone rebooted to fastboot mode.
3. I installed TWRP but was not able to reboot to recovery through commands and system reboot command brings me back to fastboot mode. So I again power off the device with cable connected and pressed both vol buttons. This time phone showed recovery screen (Should have worked with normal button shortcuts also, I guess) and I flashed the rom and rebooted normally.
Everything is working fine now except that I lost the data.
Happy you got all clear my friend !!!

You are quite lucky to have the stock ROM.
