Hi,
I've created a simple app flashing util.
But i need to figure out if the device is running TWRP recovery or CWM recovery.
I found out that devices with TWRP installed has a file in "/sdcard/TWRP/.version" but that file exists even if we later changed to CWM from TWRP.
Is there any build property or something to figure out what recovery is currently active on the device?
Tablet is rooted. Tablet has unlocked bootoader.
ROM Manager reports that I have recovery installed - both TWRP and ClockwordMod Recovery 5.8.3.4.
I want to update to 4.4.2 but when I go to try to boot into recovery, via ROM Manager or just manual hold volume down and power, I get the dead Android on his back with a red exclamation. No matter what recovery I try I get this.
Any thoughts on how to get out of it?
Ok.. I used this process to successfully flash the FlatLine CWM Recovery! Which I can now boot into that recovery via RCK selection and recovery bootup (power + vol down key)!
Not sure why the other recoveries were borked... but the key is the FlatLine recovery allows me to boot into recovery.
So this allows one to at least boot into a recovery and make a backup.
BUT this will not, I found out, allow me to install 4.4.2 (CM11) since you must use a TWRP or CWM recovery to install 4.4.2 (CM11) as FlatLine will not allow it
So then I use the same above Fastboot method to push a CWM recovery for the TF201 - fresh download of 5.8.3.4 - since I need a CWM recovery to intall the 4.4.2 (CM11) and... no joy. I push it by fastboot, boot into recovery, select RCK and it says it is going to "booting recovery kernal image" and then just hangs.
so still stuck. Any thoughts? I need to get to a kit kat and tf201 compatible CWM or TWRP recovery to flash the new ROM but I am stuck. I can only boor into the FlatLine recovery, but that does no good now.
So.... I opted to install TWRP 2.7.0.0 and that installed. I was able to boot into it, backup, and then tried it all again and.... FAIL!!
I get the same failed error... ugh!
So a ROM Manager install of 5.8.3.4 CWM fails to even boot
So a Fastboot install of 5.8.3.4 CWM fails to even boot
So a Fastboot install of TWRP 2.7.0.0 boots but fails to allow the 4.4.2 (CM11) install
So a Fastboot install of FlatLine boots but fails to allow the 4.4.2 (CM11) install

" Note: Support Status
This device does not support the newest version of CyanogenMod. This may be due to hardware limitations or simply because development is not yet complete. The last version officially supported was based on the jellybean branch of CyanogenMod. "
I believe you cannot run kitkat cyanogenMod as far as I know because you need cwm 6.0.+ version that isn't there . However there is a method to install kitkat on tf201 . I say so because I am running latest version of cyanogenmod snapshot m8 android 4.4.4 on my tf201 . There is just a simple matter of flashing recovery for tf300t ( well when I say simple ... ) on your tf201 .

take a look at the link above . To install crombi-kk you flash twrp recovery version 2.7.0.1 (I think check the version I don't remember) . however there is no such version for tf201 . I never installed the actual rom but I played around and notice after doing step 2,3,then 2 again (in crombi-kk upgrade instruction) my device won't run cwm for tf201 but works fine with tf300t version of cwm .
I am talking from experience and there is always a chance of bricking as this is not an official guide but I think its what I did .
I was on twrp latest version of tf 300t and I installed cm snapshot m8 android 4.4.4 for tf300t device successfully . after using the rom for a while I noticed hangs when your device was on sleep and you wanted to wake the device , it just wouldn't turn on which forced me to hold power for like 5-10 sec to force a reboot.
I solved this by flashing cwm 6.0.4.7 for tf300t via fastboot . Again seems like development for tf201 and also tf300t is going to hell . so you won't find this version of recovery for tf300t on cwm site .However if you google latest kitkat recovery for tf300t or smthing like that I'm sure you will find it . These I think are ports from other people than acutal cwm team ...
One thing is for sure ... Cyanogenmod cm11 require cwm 6.0.+ or twrp 2.7.0.1 ...
Edit : as always do a backup ... and MOVE IT OUT of internal SD since for some reason it formatted all my data on internal plus my backups ... I messed around with more stuff though . but just in case be prepared for a formatted internalSD ...
I think I bricked it for good this time
I now can no longer fastboot in, so I cannot change recovery apps. I can boot into recovery - TWRP.
I boot up and I no longer have the USB plugin icon and fastboot will just no longer allows me to push a new recovery - says no device present despite having done it 20 times earlier. WHich sucks as I had a TWRP and Flatline recovery saved, an now I am stuck on an older version of TWRP and it does not see the TWRP recovery I made from a newer TWRP version.
This happened when I updated the bootloader to Hairybean.
So I am stuck in a circle where I can boot into an old TWRP, cannot push a new recovery, bastfoot seems borked and the tablet won't boot into Android.
I am sorry to hear that . I can't see where you wen't wrong to the point that broke fastboot . The post no.4 in link above has step to step instruction .
There is always APX mode (if you have backups) . I personally haven't worked with it but you should be able to do a recovery ...

Edit : take a look at the other Thread you posted . you might be on the right track after all .
