Hey,
So this is my first foray into this sort of thing. I have some computer background but I haven't really gotten into this sort of stuff.
I have an Asus Eepad Transformer T101. I was requested to load Android 6.0 on it.
I followed this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/eee-...t/rom-t3318496
I had to learn some things my way. User Debugging was on but I couldn't flash recovery. I ended up finally flashing recovery (I forget what step I had to do to use Clockwork Mod Recovery).
Once I was into CWM I had E:\Cannot Mount \sdcard\.
I then found out I had to use a micro SDcard, fine.
I couldn't load anything, and no solutions were working for getting SDcards to work.
I found a thread through google that said to use SD Formatter, to no avail.
Then I found this:
http://www.transformerforums.com/for...-firmware.html
I have the files and. It was a batch file that loaded ADB then I could flash recovery. I attempted to flash recovery and I got to rogue XM recovery 1.5.0 (CWM - based recovery v5.0.2.8)
I used Nandroid Backup (Note, still could not mount SDcards)to do a backup of everything to the internal storage. I then did a wipe of all user data.
I have a folder called Marshmellow with Katkiss-6.0_025.zip, open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20160219.zip and BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip.
I attempted to install the KatKiss one, and it failed saying:
"Installing Update...
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/marshmellow/katkiss-6.0_025.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted."
So here's where I'm pretty sure I screwed up.
I loaded the Gapps and SuperSU.
Tried marshmellow again, and no luck.
Now the device boots to the eepad transformer screen, lasts a few seconds (usually no more than 10) and then reboots.
I've tried
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1688012
and
http://justanotherdave.ca/?p=351
The latter simply doesn't work. And I don't think I can get into ABX mode for the former.
Are there any resources on how to "unbrick" the device that may still work. Right now it just keeps rebooting at the nvidia eepad screen. I can get into recovery still.

I am one of the lucky ones who got their tablet from woot/amazon for $280.
I got it in yesterday and absolutely hated the Tap Tap interface.
Naturally, I wanted to install a new ROM. I could only get the TnT Lite to install, but still not what I wanted. I tried Vegan and G-Harmony and I got the dreaded 3 bird screen. I downloaded and successfully installed 3588 and rebooted it. I noticed the ClockworkMod is no longer on there, which is no problem.
I followed the directions to install Clockwork and ROMS from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
I, for some reason, decided to install Vegan again w/o clockwork installed.
I mounted the internal memory card, copied he ROM over as update.zip with the Recovery folder and the command file set to install from SDCARD. A reboot later and now I am stuck at the 3 birds...
I was able to do the Power +Vol and get the "Recovery key detected" message and it seems to load something, hitting the home button gives me the verbose which indicated that it was trying to install something off SDCARD2.
I have tried 3588, clockworkmod and Vegan as update zip on the external SD card with the Recovery folder command file pointing to SDCARD2.
When booting into Recovery, the verbose says: "FORMATTING MISC... REBOOTING..." takes about 4 seconds to complete, reboots and back to the 3 birds screen.
So, how do I [email protected]#$ myself here?
UPDATE!
I got my tablet to boot into CWM!! I ended up putting the MicroSD version of CWM and held down the Power +Vol longer that normal, saw the Android text and it installed the update.zip.
I tried in vain to boot into CWM, but it would re-install the update.zip. *Head smack* took out the SD card and now it boots into CWM!
Now, to try to install a ROM w/o those damn 3 bird screen...
Bootlogo not part of a ROM
You can replace the birds logo, but it is not part of a ROM. Search for replace boot logo, but make sure you know the correct partition to push your custom logo too. Read the entire thread when you find it first. There are tools out there that will let you back up your partitions, I highly recommend doing that first. Search for backup bct and look for PooR's thread and tools.

The boot logo is not my issue, it's just that it does not go past it no matter what non-TnT ROM I try to install.
I just want to install anything other than the factory OS or a modified factory OS (no disrespect to the dev who made TnT Lite).
I started another thread on my troubles getting a new ROM on there:

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the Fascinate. If anyone is up for a challenge and could read the small novel I wrote below I would greatly appreciate it.
I was able to successfully root my Fascinate last week however I got into trouble when I decided I wanted to install a custom rom. I read that the rom required Voodoo which I didn't/still don't know much about. I went to Project Voodoo and downloaded PV 5.5 and flashed it via Odin thinking that this was all I needed to do before installing the custom rom.
Now I'm stuck in Recovery Mode, I've followed several tutorials and tried to install ClockworkMod Recovery via update.zip but every time I run update.zip the install fails and I get the Green Android guy with the ! point. Recovery says Errior in /sdcard/update.zip (status 2) installation aborted.
Re-downloading the file update.zip doesn't change anything.
Also, if I try to wipe data/factory reset I get the following error:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 (No such file or directory)
E: install_application_for_customer: Can't mount HIDDENSCARD: Your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
I tried following some of the tutorials to remove VooDoo such as this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804784 as I think this is why I've gotten into trouble, but I can't install CWM and I've had no luck with ADB and accessing the areas required to replace files on my phone while in recovery mode.
I can't run the Vodoo Uninstaller as I'm stuck in Recovery.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, the fiance isn't liking the current state of her phone.

I think this is what you need.
Thanks DoobiHowserMD for the quick reply. I followed the tut, everything seemed to go well in Odin but now when I turn the phone on it says this:
--Wiping data:...
Formatting FOTA: ....
FOTA wipe failed.
and then it continues to reboot and loop.

Which 2 files did you use?
Just found a solution! Used the "Full DI01 ODIN Package" found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867648
Thanks guys for your help, seems like a great community.
Hi Everybody!
I recently flashed a ParanoidAndroid rom and was trying it, but it was laggy for me and kept crashing.
Anyway, I wanted to restore to the backup I made after rooting the phone, but at first I couldn't, since CWM kept telling me "No Files Found!".
However I managed to start the restore using Rom Manager ( updated CWM from 5.5.0.4 to 6.something). While restoring, CWM tells me that Data recovery failed, now I navigated to reboot, but it told something about returning to Stock or something like that, then I stupidly pressed NO!
The X sign showed up, but it just crashed and rebooted. Then I figured out I'd Re-flash PA, since it's still there on my phone's storage. So I did a wipe, then wanted to install PA rom, only I couldn't find it :/
And now even CWM won't enter, it keeps giving me that open android figure with the red exclamation above it.
Can abybody PLEASE help me?!
it's worse now :/
I tried using odin but with no success, and I know I have the right usb cable and the right drivers, but in the two roms I tried (ParanoidAndroid and CM10.1) both only have a .IMG file, so I converted them to .tar using GalaxyNexusToolkit, it says it passed after operating for like 5 seconds, but the phone is stuck at Google logo and that's it. And tried GNexToolkit to use the .img files,but it only flashed .img but not the whole thing,
Also I managed to flash the new CWM Recovery using GNexToolkit, but it didn't do anything when I press restore, it just says "Couldn't open directory. No files found.", also I screwed with it up a "bit" erasing system, sdcard, cache and everything. And now when I turn on CWM, it says "E:can't mount /cache/recover/command & /cache/recovery/log & /cache/recovery/last_log"
I understand I need to Re-Partition the phone, but I can't seem to find a way to do so, and that I need .pit files that I are extinct as far as I know :/
Help me Please :crying:
Hello. I'm kind of new to all of this. I have the android incredible 4g lte which WAS running the CM 10.1 mod but I recently wiped everything for the CM 11 mod. No, I didn't create a backup or restore. Yes, I feel incredibly stupid. Now I can't get the cm11 mod installed. It gives me an error that says "(Status 7)" in TWRP (v2.2.0). I've been doing a bit of reading and am having some trouble understanding what to do here.
Do I need to flash over the ClockworkMod recovery software using SDK tools and then flash over the recovery file from this post?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552150
Is the recovery needed to install CM11?
Do I need to be using the clockworkmod recovery software? I don't remember the steps that I took to get cm10.1 installed as it was a couple of years ago. I remember the process taking me a couple of hours.
I would very much so appreciate the help. Thanks
EDIT 1: I managed to install Clockwork manager and get rid of twrp and I "installed" the mod. Unfortunately, the mod doesn't load and now the HTC boot screen just hangs indefinitely. My computer is recognizing the device but mounting the sdcard isn't showing anything on my computer which is a pretty big problem as I need that in order to at least go back to the stock RUU. I can get back into the bootloader and recovery but am unsure what to do at this point. I am also having a difficult time ADB pushing anything to the /storage/sdcard1/ directory. I ran as admin and still no luck.
Also, phone is not s-off.
EDIT 2: CWM not mounting sdcard1. Trying newer version of TWRP
EDIT 2a: TWRP 2.7.0.0 gave me access to sdcard1 from PC again.
EDIT 2b: Tried different another CM11 download. Still hangs at HTC bootscreen.
EDIT 2c: SD card no longer is recognized through phone. Am using an SD adapter directly to computer to access and change files... Problem seems to be getting worse, the more I screw with it.
EDIT 2d: Switched to CWM Recovery v6.0.4.6. Install of rom took less than a minute. Am skeptical... And no dice. Could really use some help...
EDIT 3: At this point I tried the avatar rom and it stops at the HTC screen for around 45 seconds then continues on to a black screen with the menu button lit up. Not sure what's going on...
LAST AND FINAL EDIT: I'm a moron... I didn't flash the boot.img to the boot directory. Feel free to make fun of me in the comment boxes below!!!
Hello, this isn't life or death, as this isn't my daily driver, but I do use this phone at lunchtime when I'm at the gym on Wifi and it's always worked well for me. Here are the issues somewhat chronologically:
1) I was on CM10 and have always had connectivity issues with Exchange Server email, so I decided to update to the latest CM11 in the hope that that issue would be resolved.
2) I decided to go to ROM Manager and update the Clockwork Mod Recovery, because I'd had some issues with the Philz Touch V. 6 that was already on there. This was probably my first mistake.
3) When I rebooted into recovery, inexplicably Philz Touch came back up instead of Clockword Mod.
4) I performed a factory reset and went ahead and attempted to flash the newer CM11 and the Gapps like I usually would. After that it's been nothing but problems.
5) Ever since then, I've only been able to make it to the White HTC Screen- the OS won't load up.
6) I can get back into the bootloader and recovery, but can't seem to flash any other recovery (I've tried through HBOOT and installing a recovery zip (always renaming all the images as PJ35IMG.zip)
7) every time I get some kind of error message in HBOOT: aborted "no image" ; "bad" "status 7" ; "status 0" etc
8) This is further compounded because I can't get ADB to recognize the device (USB won't even recognize the device); which I suspect is due to it not booting to the OS, so I can't use Fastboot/ADB commands
9) I've searched and attempted pretty much every fix I could find- I even ran the RUU img (which I renamed to the zip file above) and that made it a little further in the process and actually made it a little further before it aborted (can't run the normal RUU.exe because USB doesn't recognize my phone) Also tried deleting the assert lines in attempts to deal with the Status 7 error. I've also re-formatted my SD card, to no avail.
10) So in summing up, basically my bootloader won't flash any images (always gives "no image" error); and my recovery won't fully install any zip file (neither alternate recoveries nor ROMs (always aborts) (However Gapps does install successfully)
11) I wasted a full day trying all this yesterday, so before I give up completely, just wanted to see if anyone out there might have a fix that has eluded me. I apologize for being so long-winded- I just wanted to get everything in there to see if it would help. Thanks in advance.
