Is my Transformer in stock state ?

I am new in this subject, but I have been reading a lot.
If you followed the steps exactly, put back a stock ROM without SU package (from the picture I see you have a stock version number, 8.6.5.21, but It doesn't say about SU, look in Apps), and replaced the ClockWorkMod recovery with stock Asus recovery (green android with exclamation mark), then it should be back as stock.

Try to boot into recovery mode, as long as CWM is gone and android recovery is back you are indeed back to stock ROM there..
Edit: BTW if you updated through the ROM directly from Asus then you are stock, as you need a stock ROM and stock recovery to apply official OTA updates.
Cheers, and congrats on being stock again (??) lol

So this is stock recovery. I failed to check out the stock recovery before I rooted and put CWR on there to make my initial back up (old habits that bled over from phone-my bad). Anyways, comparing to phone recoveries, there are usually 4 items listed in stock recovery. You know the standards, wipe, reset,...but does the tablet have that? I flashed the stock recovery package and when I rebooted, I hit the power + vol down and the up like CWR and it went to that screen with the ! and android with no options. I tried it again, only this time it gave me 2 options, Hot and Cold reboots (I know what those are).
So my question is if merely having the ! and andriod is in fact stock recovery. Getting used to separating phone from tablet but still learning and reading and reading and reading.

Thanks for all
just 2 points :
1- after i download the update and press install the tablet turned off !! when i turned it on the update completed successfully !! is it usual ????
2- i tried to enter the recovery through ( press power button & on asus logo press vol - then vol + and didn't enter the CWM recovery !! So am i on stock recovery now ??

Yes you are stock, also as luca_c666 pointed out, if you flashed a rom directly from Asus then you are stock because you can't flash those roms when you have a custom recovery.

Yes that is stock recovery, it looks for Asus signed files on the external sd card, named either EP101_SDUPDATE.zip or RR_epad-user-x.x.x.xx.zip where RR = region stamp (US, TW, HK, DE, UK, WW, etc) and x.x.x.xx = firmware version. For example, when i wanted to circumvent the broken root i had to use file WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip placed on my sd card, stock recovery will find this file and flash it..i believe OTA updates load into a cache folder in the system, so i guess if you don't have an external sd you could put the file there too, im sure it simply scans these locations in sequence until it finds an Asus signed file that will install.

Thank you everybody

best way to root?

Hey all, my brother just gave me his galaxy tab 2 10.1, and this thing is horribly slow. I want to see if it can be saved, what is the best method to root with the following stock setup:
GT-P5113
android version 4.2.2
kernel 3.0.31
build # JDQ39.P5113UEUCMK3

Use Odin to flash latest TWRP from @Android-Andi's thread in development section. Use TWRP to flash @Chainfire's SuperSU. Wipe Cache and Dalvik cache in TWRP Wipe > Advanced wipe. Please reply to this if you need more help.

I downloaded hte latest one and i flashed it using oden. When I go to boot into recovery though by holding power button and volume down, after the splash green i get an upright green android for a second then it switches to the android laying on his back with the red triangle coming out of his stomach and the text "No Command" under him. then it goes to the android system recovery. any ideas why i can't get twrp to work? i downloaded GT-I8190_TWRP_2.7.1.1.tar.md5.zip

Flash it again in Odin but this time uncheck auto reboot. After it finishes flashing, wait 10 seconds, unplug the tab, and boot into recovery (power + volume up.) Then flash SuperSU in recovery and wipe cache and Dalvik.

recovery is volume down right? not volume up

ok after doing power and volume DOWN i was able to get into twrp, thanks to your unchecking auto reboot trick. Nice call!! does superuser have to be flashed? i think i accidentally downloaded the apk....

On my tab its volume up (because it's 7-inch.) Glad you got recovery. Yes, superuser has to be flashed to root. Flashing will install the apk in the system partition and get the su binaries in place. Installing the apk won't because it cannot access the system partition. Once it is flashed, you will be rooted and can access the system and root partition.

yeah i think i unzipped it before i put it on the sdcard of the tablet. So all I had was the apk, I redownloaded the zip and flashed it and i think i'm all good now. Gonna try a rom now, any suggestions for a minimalistic rom tweaked for max performance?

SlimKat is. Flash it and Slim Mini Gapps, reboot, do setup, reboot back into recovery and flash AA-Anykernel Slim Test2 and Vendor-Blobs for great performance and battery life. Recovery is volume up on the tab 10, it just looks like down because the volume buttons are reversed on that tab. If you boot into the system and push what you think (and I thought) is volume down, it will go up. I had this tab earlier and it was confusing :/

EDIT: after you flash SlimKat, you do not need to flash superuser or SuperSU. SlimKat is a rooted ROM.

[Recovery][H850] Team Win Recovery Project for the LG G5

Team Win Recovery Project 3.0.3-0
WARNING: The stock boot image has dm-verity, which prevents you from booting if you swipe to enable system modifications!
SOLUTION: Flash a root such as SuperSU or phh-superuser. You can also flash no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip.
A message to those with other variants of the G5:
The H850 International variant is the only one with an official bootloader unlock from LG.
Should there be a time where your flashing mechanisms get cracked, simply mention my name on this thread or via private message and I would be happy to create a thread with TWRP for your device.
I have device trees ready for ALL variants of the G5, pending their unlock!
WHAT IS TWRP?
Oh come on, you know what it is - don't try to fool me!
In case you're serious, though...
Team Win Recovery Project is a custom recovery for Android devices.
It allows you to back up and restore your data, flash custom ROMs to your device, repair broken file systems, and root your device.
DOWNLOAD
You can find the device page here:
https://twrp.me/devices/lgg5h850.html
FULL STEPS FOR OBTAINING ROOT
Follow LG's bootloader unlocking instructions here before you begin!

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Download the latest TWRP .img for your device from this thread or twrp.me.
Use the same fastboot tool you downloaded in the LG unlock instructions to flash TWRP using the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-x.x.x-x-h850.img
* Replace x.x.x-x with the actual version you are flashing!
Now you can either power off your phone and boot into recovery using the button combo [Volume Down] + [Power], or you can run this command in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-x.x.x-x-h850.img
At this point, you will see the TWRP splash and reach a screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
By swiping right, you will trigger dm-verity, and if you don't follow step 8 you will be unable to boot!
If you are going to root your device or follow the rest of these steps, then it is safe to swipe right and enable modifications.
Only if you want internal storage or data to work in TWRP:
Go to [Wipe] -> [Format Data] (not advanced wipe) -> type "yes".
WARNING: This will wipe your internal storage, disable encryption, and factory reset your phone!
Go to [Reboot] -> [Recovery].
Please consider backing up your stock boot partition in TWRP before proceeding to the next steps!
If you want to be rooted with SuperSU:
Download the latest SuperSU stable by Chainfire.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the SuperSU zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
-or-
If you only want a bootable system partition or writable data in TWRP:
Download dm-verity and force encryption disabler.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
Go to [Reboot] -> [System].
Wait 2-5 minutes for your device to finish setting itself up.
* MTP, known as Media Transfer Protocol, is the same way you transfer files from your PC to your device when booted into system.

Is the Sprint variant H850? I don't think so. You need to have an unlocked bootloader which has currently only become available this morning for the H850 European variant.
Thanks for this! Time to go buy my G5 now (Australia's a bit behind the times, only became available yesterday lol)

Same problem here.

Following instructions found here
For TWRP to "stick" you must first boot directly into TWRP and not back into Android, until after flashing the SuperSU zip.
After flashing TWRP unplug the USB cable and pull the battery. Plug battery back in then boot into recovery which should hopefully load TWRP.
To boot into recovery:
a. Using 2 hands.. use one hand/finger to press/hold volume down.. and use the other hand for the power button. Press n hold both buttons.
b. As soon as you see the LG logo on the screen.. let go of the power button then quickly press it again (never letting go of volume down).
c. Keep holding until you see the Factory Reset screen. Click thru the factory reset screens.. Yes.. Yes...
10. You will not be able to decrypt your internal data while in TWRP but you can manually mount your external SD card to view the SuperSu zip. Feel free to back up first.. but otherwise.. time to install SuperSu. Click the Install button and navigate to the external_sd, select the SuperSu zip then swipe to install. Now you're rooted and TWRP'd! Reboot into system...

Just followed the instructions here to the letter. Didn't do anything different. Only thing I can think of is that I let the phone boot fully after unlocking and then installed twrp after that. Not even sure if that can affect anthing

Recovery hangs at TWRP splash screen.
My PC sees Recovery ADB device connected (in Device Manager), but ADB program doesn't see any device, so I can't get logs.

I think you are the first user with working twrp. 99.9% of all other user dit not work.

If that was the reason behind it working, i cant imagine there is away to do that once the device is unlocked and how long did it take to get into TWRP

Works perfectly for me. Flashed TWRP, flashed SuperSU, then finally flashed V4A and it's all working perfectly.

Galaxy s6 G920F "bricked".

Dear Xda Developers,
I have a s6 (G920F) from a friend, his phone failed on updating and got in a boot loop. The phone is from Israel and I live in the Netherlands so he didn't get any warranty here in the Netherlands. So I flashed the stockrom from Israel to it but I got this screen:

If I wait a while it goes to recovery, I can still access download mode. I got the rom from SamMobile, I also tried flashing the French and Netherlands rom all from sam mobile to it but no success same outcome. tried factory wipe also nothing. I got also the 4 file firmware from the program samfrim and also the Israel version but no luck either, I'm out of ideas so far. hope you can help me.

Look HERE. There is all what you need. Just download latest stock via SamFirm (or www.updato.com) then flash it via latest Odin3. For get download mode just press Volume - & Power & Home for 30 seconds, phone must show you download mode. After correctly flashed first go to stock recovery menu (Volume +, Power, Home) and do factory reset (format data) and wipe dalvik/cache, then normally reboot to system.

For sure correctly flashed latest firmware for your model? And did factory reset etc? Try flash CF-Auto-Root then TWRP (both via Odin3). After that go to recovery menu (TWRP) do full wipe and try clean install any custom ROM.

I didn't tried LOS. But do a full-wipe (format all) and try just another, the best choose is stock-based ROM, for example OdexLite. If everything will be good then look for another ROM. My favorite is Noble S8 Port (NNE5.1).

If you downloaded correctly latest TWRP for your model, must works without any problems like for milions people.
P.S.
Try to reflash latest stock 7.0 via Odin then after finished just go to stock recovery menu, do factory reset and wipe dalvik/cache then reboot to system and check how its going.

After flashed stock when you tryin get to recovery menu you see no command that's it right? If phone show you "no command" try to use Volume's buttons or Home, you should see just recovery menu options after few clicks.

Dear Xda Developers,
I have a s6 (G920F) from a friend, his phone failed on updating and got in a boot loop. The phone is from Israel and I live in the Netherlands so he didn't get any warranty here in the Netherlands. So I flashed the stockrom from Israel to it but I got this screen:
If I wait a while it goes to recovery, I can still access download mode. I got the rom from SamMobile, I also tried flashing the French and Netherlands rom all from sam mobile to it but no success same outcome. tried factory wipe also nothing. I got also the 4 file firmware from the program samfrim and also the Israel version but no luck either, I'm out of ideas so far. hope you can help me.
kind regards,
Ruben
Sorry for my bad English..

Hello brother, the only way is to install twrp, you don't need to open the bootloader, first install twrp with Edin, secondly, in the install twrp section, install the Magisk root zip file and hit reboot, then it will come up, then if you jump the serial with Octopus box, the serial fix it

Ruben , you dont need cf root , You have TWrp? Install this version https://eu.dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/twrp-3.2.1-0-zeroflte.img.tar.html via odin or unpack get the image out of it and flash in twrp as IMG and recovery ..then in TWRP look for tab FORMAT DATA , type yes , then when done hit home in TWRP and select reboot back into recovery , When back in recovery , install Android 10 or 11 ,by Enesuzun , don't flash old outdated ROMS , last build is Feb 2022 ROM 11 , do as I said and your done. NO need ROOT MAGISK or all of that ,

Thanks for your efforts, but when i tried to flash it says e3004: this package is for device : espresso-common, p3110, p3113, espresso WiFi, espresso wifixx, p5110, while my tab is espresso10 SGh-I497 at&t any solutions!!!! PS: i tried both versions 3g and wifi they both gave me the same error of course with different variants versions, i think the SGh-I497 att is a wrong title

Its not a wrong title because i had the sgh-i497 and i linked everything that worked for me i dont have the tablet anymore but all of those files that i have compiled havent changed except lineage and gapps

Was your bootloader name espresso10, if so, i couldn't find the file for this variant, i don't know how it worked for you if your tablet is SGh-I497 from at&t, something must be wrong can you check the lineage link to see if the rom you used is still there, they might have deleted it or something, again i appreciate your efforts and work you're doing great

Same error, i did everything right, even the 4.1.2 rom worked but the lineage in twrp doesn't list my device in the error compatible devices list, i guess I'll say goodbye to it (SGh-I497 At&t espresso10)
