Android bot laying down with exclamation mark

[rodrigofran]

Hello:

With the tablet powered off I press down "- volume button" and the "power button" at the same time.
I get a message to press the "+ volume button" to enter a recovery mode.
I press + volume button ant then I see the message "booting recovery kernel image"
After that I get an android laying down with an exclamation mark in his chest.
Is this behaviour normal or is sth wrong?? or should I get some options menu.

I have ics 4.0.3 and kernel 2.6.39.4

Thanks

Rodrigo

that sequence activates the cold boot routine.It is normal search the forums you should find lots of posts on this

All the tutorials are wrong about getting to fast boot. For some reason they neglect to tell you to wait five seconds. Then you can use volume down to select USB fast boot option. It took me a whole day to flash clockwork mod because I thought my stock recovery was flawed.

I also have found this, I assumed the dead android was due to there being nothing to actually recover, a search shows nothing, when you need to cold boot, you have to wait at least 5 seconds after the small white txt appears, then you should get two icons, the green android, on the right, if selected is the cold boot, the left icon is a full data wipe, only use if you have a good backup IMO.

Guys - you can only do a cold boot or factory reset through the power/volume key combo.

You cannot enter recovery mode (which is what the OP is trying to do) on the tf101 when running the stock firmware. There isn't a problem, the system is doing what it should do

Seems like you haven't flashed Clockwork mod Recovery. Download Rom Manager from the play store and hit the button: "flash cwm recovery"

I'm sorry. I meant I am stupid because tappatalk brings everything up together. Sorry for my 'tone' in my prior message.

Back to the matter at hand is the bootloader unlock tool only for the prime?

No worries I've sounded grumpy occasionally myself - even big, bright, yellow, grinning me

I'm not sure about the bootloader tool. Someone should know - lets hope they chip in.
