Finally!! Asus Transformer tf101 kept rebooting into ClockMod Recovery mode and I couldn’t get it fixed. This TWRP Recovery did the trick first time round. Thank you! Thank you!! You guys are awesome.
We’re glad that you successfully resolved your device’s problem 🙂
I’m confused, i’m installing TWRP because i don’t have a recovery, but you want me to already have CWM recovery before installing TWRP? DAFUK. Fucking useless if i say so.
Some users do like shifting to other custom recoveries out there to try out new features they bring with them.
If you’ve been using CWM for a long time and now want to have a different recovery, you can try the TWRP.
Thank you
