Plz help , ASUS TF101 only boots into CWM touch Recovery. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi i rooted n installed CWM touch recovery on my ASUS TF101 tablet.
The process was not simple as i had to make several flashing attempts before the TF101 booted into CWM recovery.
Once i got CWM recovery working i tried flashing it to a CyanogenMod ROM cm-9.1.0-tf101.zip (stable)
I made sure i wiped Dalvik Cache , wipe data factory reset , wipe cache partition.
After that I renamed the CM Rom to update.zip n then choose apply/update.zip using CWM recovery.
Well the first flashing didnt work bc it just kept on loading to the old stock rom.
After several attempts my TF101 did finally load into CM mod.But the screen kept on loading for 30mins so i restarted the device.
i tried clearing the Dalvik + cache partition n factory reset it again.
But when i rebooted it just goes into CWM recovery.
Ive been trying to even flash it back to stock rom but it just wont boot to the rom.
Could anybody help me plz ? Why did i have to flash my TF101 several times b4 in order to get the ROM to load ?
Could there be something im missing ?
Extra Info
Windows does recognise my TF101 when its plugged in. But in device manager it only comes up as "Transformer" under Universal Serial devices.
I tried using adb to push the stock ROM to my TF101 n then update it but it still wont boot to the rom. Just CWM recovery.
SuperSU was installed b4 i flash the CM rom.But now when i turn it loads to CWM only. Heck i cannot even turn it off
Im stuck dunno what to do

Think I may have bricked my prime?

I wanted to install a custom ROM for my TF201. So I downloaded the Energy ROM and placed it within the SD Card as update.zip
I flashed CWM and ran the Asus Bootloader Unlocker.
Then using Rom Manager rebooted into CWM, following on screen prompts I installed from SD Card the ROM. The install completeted successfully, the tablet restarted and showed the Eee Pad logo, but got stuck. I've tried cold booting from recovery mode, tried reinstalling the ROM but nothing is working. It is refusing to boot up properly.
Have I bricked the tablet, if so how do I fix it if at all possible?

Did you do an MD5sum check on your download? Also have you tried flashing another rom? And my third and final question did you wipe Dalvik cache, cache, and factory reset before you installed?
And this is more of a preference thing but I'd suggest TWRP over CWM. I've had issues on other devices with CWM but TWRP on the Prime is perfect.

I did a factory reset, then selected wipe Dalvik cache and cache.
How would I flash another ROM? I'm not sure how I can get another ROM onto the device as CWM cannot search external storage, only internal?
I was going to use TWRP but wasn't sure how to get it flashed onto the device, where as CWM was simpler. I didn't do an MD5 check on the ROM
EDIT:
Just tried using Fastboot USB to flash the official ASUS ROM(Tried latest JB and ICS 4.0.3), both write to the device okay but both fail
It says "FAILED <Remote: <>"
On the device it shows: Failed to process command flash:system error(0x170003)

IT LIVES!!!
Don't know how I did it, but I managed to get TWRP installed on it. Using Fastboot somehow or ADB. It booted into TWRP and mounted external SD card, then flashed an official JB ROM(the Prime was on ICS before) and it has now booted up fine
I will now try and re-flash a custom ROM again(a different one) using TWRP but it is all looking superb
I was worried i'd have to claim on the extended insurance I took out with the retailer

[Q] Stuck on bootscreen

Hey,
First off i hope i have put this on the right sub forum.
I've been stupid (I Think) I've olso looked around on the forum and the [READ THIS] Got a Boot Loop? Don't post a New Thread!
topic.
I'm using my SGS2 for a year now and was using the ressurexionRimix rom for a while.
I've been plaing around with my phone so i got lots of folder that were not used etc, so I wanted to get it back to factory settings, here is when all went down.
Via Settings-Backup and recovery i gave my phone a factory reset (while using the latest ressurexionremix rom, i think this is the misstake i made) When my phone went into the reboot is got stuck on the splash screen, it kept reapeeting the boot animation.
The second mistake i mad was not puting back my back-up but thought well i want it back to it's first state so i'll use ODIN to flash the stock ROM onto it. now, 4 hours later and about 10 trys with diferent versions of the stock roms i'm still stuck on the boot screen.
I've also tryd flashing a cwm so i could get in cwm recovery, this also without any luck
Does anyone have a idea what to do!?
go back to recovery - mounts andstorage and format the following :
cache, system, data, sdcards if you have it in recovery. reboot
you have a bkank screen as your phone has been wiped. reboot into download mode.
Connect odin and flash a stock rom. reboot and your phone should work provided that you have not damaged the flash chip on the motherboard.
Is this in CWM? the problem is i dont have that anymore because i've flashed it toc stok. I now get in the Android system recovery
The option i get there ar:
Reboot system now
apply update from external storage
Wype data/factory reset
Wipe cache parition
apply update from cash
test redbend fola[FS]
Will try this, thank..will let you know if it worked
Wiped data/factory reset and cache after this i ebooted my phone and i got the message installing application, now i'm in the setup menu. Looks like it is working.
Did'nt realice there was a recovery besides CWM Thank yoy so much Cosmic Blue!!! You saved my life!!

flash stock ICS Rom ftf with flashtool
Thanks for help
Thanks I managed to flash stock Gingerbread in the end.
In case anyone else has a similar problem here is a handy guide I found. (youtube.com/watch?v=hPPWRXcsz7g)
Where it says connect phone I found you need to connect it in fast boot (hold volume up button as you connect it) when the software is ready to flash un-plug phone then connect in flash mode (hold volume down button as you connect).

[Q] TF201: No ROM works past boot animation

So, I was able to successfully unlock my bootloader, got TWRP 2.6 on it, and put a few different ROMs on my machine; however, I have yet been able to install a ROM and get it to move past the boot animation.
I have tried the latest nightly ROMs for CyanogenMod 10.1 and 10.2 for my TF201, both of which get stuck in CM's boot animation. I just tried the same with the newest Baked ROM, only to be stuck in its boot animation as well.
I'm trying to figure out if there was something I forgot to do. I have been able to revert to a backup of my stock Jellybean 4.1.1 that I stored using TWRP, but haven't been able to use anything else.
Are there any thoughts on this? Have I missed something? I was able to use the unlocker utility and each boot offers the confirmation in the top-left that my bootloader is unlocked. I am able to enter TWRP from the recovery mode. Shouldn't it be as simple as selecting a ROM's zip archive and installing it from TWRP?
Have you done a full wipe before installing, including cache and dalvik cache partitions?

Factory reset
After flashing CM 10.1 nightly last night i had the same issue. I booted into my recovery console (flatline cwm) and performed a factory reset. This seemed to clear whatever issue was bothering the tablet. Still sat there for about five minutes on the animation after the reset but then progressed into setup.
Doubt if it makes a difference but mine was connected to the dock too.
If you're still stuck the method that worked for me yesterday was:
Used Flatline CWM as the recovery, installed using fastboot
Used an external memory card to copy the relevant zip files to my sdcard, recovery couldnt find them otherwise using adb push
Installed from zip using Flatline CWM
Installed gapps using Flatline CWM
Booted, got the issue you had
Booted into recovery, performed a factory reset
Told recovery to restart the machine
Booted into setup screen after loading for a few minutes

[Q] [Help] Cyanogenmod stuck in boot loop

I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-T989 and tried to install cyanogenmod 10.2, but I can't start it, it gets stuck in the cyanogenmod splash screen and doesn't get any further.
Here's what I did originally: I flashed clockworkmod (via Odin) and booted into recovery. I then installed the cyanogenmod zip file that I had copied onto the sdcard.
When it failed to boot, I tried several things: I flashed TWRP (via Odin) and then did a factory reset and system wipe, installed cyanogenmod (from TWRP) and did the factory reset again. Same problem, the system will get stuck in the boot loop. I also tried an earlier version of cyanogenmod, same problem.
I am quite sure that I downloaded all the right files for my device. I searched online and saw other people who had that problem, and solved it by wiping the cache/data after the install. This didn't work for me.
I don't know what else to try, so please reply if you have any ideas!
Thanks :fingers-crossed:
Not sure bout it but flash only the cm kernel via cwm then reboot to recovery again n factory reset then install the Rom all the best
