When yo ugo into recovery mode what color is all the lettering on the screen?
Secondly after flashing CWR did you fully boot the device up before trying to flash a kernel? If so that is your problem. Reason being is if you DO NOT flash a kernel right after flashing CWR before boot the device the recovery image gets overwritten. You MUST install a custom kernel right after flashing CWR before fully booting the device up the first time.

He's right. You have to flash the kernel and rom before you boot. If your recovery is yellow your good to go. If its blue then your flashing the recovery correctly. Redownload the recovery file and try again.

hey thx works now, comes down to the first reboot. they should add that to the guide.

Great glad it got worked out for ya.

[Q] Rom installation via rom manager bootloops

Clockword Mod Recovery is automatically installed when I flash the boot .img that is extracted from the rom file via flashtools method but Cant install CWM from rom manager as it doesnt supports my device and installing a rom via rom manger boot loops as rom manager while installing doesnt install the kernel provided with the rom file as it is running the current running rom kernel..
Steps I use to flash a rom
First I copy the gapps and custom rom zip folder onto sd card
Extract boot.img file from the custom rom on my pc
Open Flashtool
Open recovery my phone and wipe and format data,wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache.
Shut the phone
Connect my phone in fastboot mode by pressin volume buttons
Flastool displays that my device is sucessfully connected in fastboot mode
Click thunder sign in flashtool
Select fastboot mode
Select kernel to flash
Select the boot.img file that I previously extracted from the custom rom file
The kernel is flashed
Then i go into recovery
Again Wipe and format data,Wipe Cache,Wipe Dalvik Cache,.
Install Zip from sd card
Install custom rom zip file and gapps zip file
Installation is done.Then I reboot the phone

Flash back stock using flash tool
Install custom ROM using cwm always ..
And ROM manager can hard brick phone if you dunno what you're doing !
Well your steps seem OK

Unlocked, rooted, TWRP installed.. can't install custom ROM

OK, I've done this many times to many devices, never had this happen before. Unlocked, rooted, TWRP installed, have tried two different ROMS, Slim and CM11, tried both direct download and from my PC then transferred, can't get a custom ROM to install, keeps erroring out while trying to install ROM from TWRP, even though I wipe System, Dalvik, and Cache. 'Error updating binary executor in zip'
thoughts?
EDIT: on twrp 2.5.0.0 - maybe need a newer version?
Tried 2.6.3.0 - it won't wipe dalvik, cache, or system? Actually, it cant see or mount any drives...
And CM Recovery has the same issue...?

If you are trying to install CM11, which is based on KitKat, looks like everyone says to use the Omni version of TWRP. Here's a link to that zip in my Dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/s/cctivhx2kcpwnfz/TWRP-TF300T-2_7_0_1.zip. Install is different for it though. Put the zip file on a micro SD card or in the internal storage and then boot into whatever custom recovery you have working (I usually go back to stock and flash TWRP 2.4.0.0 or 2.4.4.0 whenever I run into problems. I found a great TWRP recovery installer someone made for Windows, here's that zip. https://www.dropbox.com/s/jut7sytp8n7c94u/recoverytf300t4.2.zip). Once in recovery, go to Install and flash the Omni version 2.7.0.1. After that finishes, reboot to system so that the Omni version can complete installation (you'll see the blue install bar, like what shows when you Fastboot install a recovery). Your tablet will reboot after that so I usually hold Volume Down when the display goes dark so that I can go into the new recovery. I've also recently found 2 "new" recoveries that work fairly with CM11, probably due to the fact that they are based on CM Recovery. I'll include the links for you. They both get installed via Fastboot. Hope this helps!

Where do I get Gapps without pc

I recently just rooted my phone (Nexus 6) and added custom ROM and custom back up for CM12 but when everything booted up there were no Google apps and I cannot download any apps as well bc there is no play store? How do I get Gapps on my phone without having to use a PC bc I got through this whole process without one so I need to finish it likewise and plus I do not have a computer yet.

To avoid future confusion are you on cm12.0 or cm12.1? Gapps packages are available as a zip package which you flash in recovery just like a ROM (but over the top, after ROM install ).
If you can work out the one you want without further help from me, I recommend slim gapps. Just pick the correct one you want, download on phone to storage and flash in recovery.

Ok so I am currently running cm12.1 and I have downloaded a zip file for the gapps but of course its not compatible with any of CM12.1's stock apps. So the question is how do I correctly flash in recovery and get the gapps file unzipped.

also when I try to flash it it in recovery my twrp is not loading up. It says "cyanogen Recovery" Im not sure hwats going on but what can i do excatly

Why would it not be compatible? All GApps are are things like sync and more surface level apps like YouTube. Link me the exact package you downloaded and I'll tell you if its ok. Just do a nandroid backup and flash, the worse that can happen is that it doesn't work and you have to restore.

So when i hold down the power button its gives me the option to reboot and i choose reboot then it says recovery or bootloader and i go to recovery. Instead of Twrp its just boots to "cyanogen recovery" and when im there i pressed install update because i want to install the gapps (I have the gapps zip file in my download folder) but after i press it it just says install failed and it prompts me back to recovery screen.
so i pressed reset on accident now i do not have anything on my phone expect for the cm12.1 because I checked the file manager and all my other twrp dowloads are gone as well as everything.
SO am i screwed or can i recovery from this failure.
Mind you i have a nexus 6

So you mean you have no ROM to boot into?
I'm not familiar with Cyanogen recovery... try to see if you can flash the ROM from the "install update" option.
If this succeeds, I recommend flashing TWRP as this will present far fewer issues than Cyanogen recovery.

Will I need a computer?

For which part? If you can boot into Cyanogen recovery, and you have the ROM zip file on your phone, then flash that using "install update" in recovery then boot it. If that works I'll guide you from there.
For the TWRP part, possibly. Some phones work fine just with the TWRP app.

Okay can you boot into a working ROM or not? if you can then don't worry, it's an easy fix. Alright so since you factory reset your device you'll have to go into settings and enable developer options and enable root. Once you did that download TWRP Manager and install TWRP for your Nexus 6. Now you're rid of that useless CyanogenMod recovery (only thing you can do with that is factory reset and install CM). Then redownload whatever Gapps you had tried to flash and flash them over CM12

So I downloaded the apk TWRP and it would not let me install the latest version (maybe because that was the one i installed orignally before i reset the phone) but it let me download the one right before the newest one "Twrp-2.8.7.0-shamu.img" to be excat. And prior to this i had already downloaded the slim Gapps as a zip ( i used the link that "HTCDreamOn" gave me on earlier in the thread) and they are located in my downloads folder.
Boom so i reboot the phone into recovery and finally Twrp recovery pops up instead of the cm recovery so thats good news but when i pressed install to flash the gapps they were not there in fact next to internal memeory it said "0 MB". so why is it saying i have nothing in my memory. I mean the download folder didnt even show up

Can you make a backup? What I mean is, does TWRP function otherwise or does everything say 0mb? When you go into the "mount" section is data checked?
