future or i'm i stuck with what i have, what should i do? any help is appreciated!

Kernel looks like the stock one. Have you tried a factory reset yet? If you're still unsure, you can get the stock images from here

Decompress and take out the images you need and flash via fast boot. Its hard to type it all via phone, but a quick search will help you with everything you need.

OK i have tgz file do i deconpress it on the my phone or computer and do i do this through boot loader or rom manager, sorry rookie here.

I just hopped on my PC, so I'll do my best to help. Any veterans feel free to correct me, please . Make sure if you set anything up, back it up via recovery and then wipe the phone :
1. Need to do this via the PC(assuming you have ADB and android SDK)
2. Open the tgz file.
3. Remove the boot.img, bootloader.img, radio.img, system.img and recovery.img. He probably has the current bootloader, but I would flash it just to be sure.
4. Reboot into the bootloader(vol up+power button)
5. Open up cmd prompt and get to adb. Ensure your device is recognized by typing fastboot devices
6. Once you're squared away with that, type fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
7. Fastboot flash boot boot.img
8. Fastboot flash system system.img
9. Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
10.Fastboot flash radio radio.img
I don't know if there is any particular order those need to be flashed, but once you're done, reboot the phone, set it up, and enjoy.

Here is a thread that will help you flash that on your phone.

You decompress it on the computer then flash it with fastboot to your phone.

Apparently I've given out too many thanks today. I forgot about that link and typed all that crap out. lol

thanks guys !

Recovery failing to flash

So I flash the stock rom on it without thinking and now it wont let me flash a recovery to the tablet threw fastboot or goomanager and it wont update throguh asus update but its booting fine and wont take any updates at all i need help being pointed in the right direction!

I flashed the wrong bootloader i think and how do i flash the correct bootloader without a recover?

in fastboot im getting the error: cannot load 'file name' :no error weather its cm or twrp it wont load it and i dont know what to do please help

First of all it would be important to know what bootloader you are actually on. You do not want to flash a recovery that is not compatible with your bootloader!
So boot into the bootloader with Volume Down and POWER and read the tiny script. From there select the Android with Volume Down and boot back to system with Volume Up.
And then please report in detail what you are trying to do in fastboot, which commands you use etc.
Without knowing what you are doing we cannot tell you what you are doing wrong.....
First step: In fastboot command: fastboot devices - Do you see the serial number of your tab?

So you are on an ICS bootloader with a JB rom... How the hell did you manage to do that?
You did not answer my question about fastboot. What you tried and what did not work.
But anyway, how I would proceed, just to get you back into safe territory, is to download the latest Asus firmware 10.6.1.14.10, unzip the downloaded file once and copy the resulting zip to the root of your internal SD.
Reboot, and hopefully the stock recovery will recognize the update file and flash you to JB 4.2.1 (which BTW is the latest version for our tabs - there never was, and probably never will be a 4.2.2). Flashing the stock firmware will replace the bootloader.
So from there you just have to get fastboot working, flash the latest TWRP and then the custom rom of your choice COMPATIBLE with your bootloader and recovery.
If that doesn't work we have to try something else. But try this first and report.

Read the text in the upper left corner - current bootloaders enable fastboot in the bootloader menu automatically.

ok i got fastboot working and now it says when i got to flash the recovery it says error cannot open twrp.blob even though its the correct file.

Yes, i can boot in recovery mod, and my version of my phone is 4.2.2 official. I have K2_UL, and i don't know the boost version. But my boot version is HBOOT : 2.21.0000 And radio : 1.18.40a.00.05

Ok, follow the Link in my signature to my index thread. You will find a Link to a stock 4.2.2 rom for k2ul. Flash this with twrp recovery (make a full wipe before) and don't forget to flash boot.img with fastboot cmd if you are S-on.

[ROM][OTA UPDATE] DreamBeats Rom v2.2 K2_U/UL 4.2.2 OC UV MODS
This rom is official ?

and i have a question, i have install sdk on my pc, but i don't found Fastboot. How to download it ? And the link for download [ROM][OTA UPDATE] DreamBeats Rom v2.2 K2_U/UL 4.2.2 OC UV MODS is broken :/ And how to flash the rom via the cmd ? I'm a noob in this domain....

I'm on my phone, can't give you links right now or explain how to setup fastboot. But the web or xda are full of guides for that.
This rom was removed because it's against the rules of xda. Look for "stock odexed 4.2.2" rom in my index thread.

Damn it i have download the rom stock, and after dat i'm lost.. I d'ont understood how to install it via fastboot, i need a tutoriel

You flash the rom in recovery (this rom for k2ul).
After that, extract (only!) boot.img and copy it to your fastboot folder.
Flash the boot.img with fastboot with the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache afterwards.
You will find all you need for fastboot in this Android.zip from attachment. Unzip it in a folder called fastboot and start cmd window there and you are good to go.
You can check before flashing boot.img if the phone is recognized with fastboot cmd
Code:
fastboot devices

ok thanks, but the problem when i installed the driver for my HTC, i'm on window 8.64bits, the installshield don't worked. He have a problem of compatibilities. Because, when y used fastboot i have a trobleshooting : waiting for device

This is a problem you have to solve yourself, as i don't have Win 8.1.
But if you do a search here on xda there are a plenty of threads about drivers and windows.
Just a few:

Another chance is to try other usb

Yes, my phone boot on android interface, but 30s after the boot, the phone reboot cycle...

Ok, the wait with the backup and try this first (each step for its own):
- boot without simcard and see if it still reboots
- boot without sdcard and see if it still reboots
- boot while phone is plugged to a charger and see if it still reboots
Post the results here.

[Mido] Modem for RN4 SD Mido

If you ever flashed a ROM and found that you've not been able to send and receive any kind of wireless activities, chances are your modem file is either corrupted or some problem with it.
It happened to me when i tried to install RR Nougat and found that my modem files are missing and any methods of restoring backup from TWRP ended up unsuccessful. Thank god! i got Fastboot ROM of MIUI 8 Nougat Beta and flashed the modem file which i found inside it.
Download the Modem file from this link.
Instructions:
1. Boot your phone into fastboot mode and connect your phone to PC.
2. Flash the Modem by entering the command
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
3. After flashing, reboot your device.
NOTE: Make sure the modem file is in the same folder as the fastboot binary. If you added the fastboot to your path directory, having modem and fastboot
binary in same folder is optional.
NOTE: Fastboot and ADB codes are case-sensitive, i.e. make sure you type exactly, including the capital letters.
Thankyou!

I have an RN4X(international)
Can I
1) download the latest greatest fastboot ROM from here
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
2) extract the NON-HLOS.bin (which is >80MB, whereas the bin you linked is just 36MB)
and
3) flash it (as explained by you)

Do i need to unlock bootloader first?

Hello Guys,
Please help me in the following case.
I have a Mate 7 TL-10. Originally, it was from China, it's system was Chinese.
Today, I rooted, I changed the location from CN to EU (I am from Hungary). Everything was okay, I wanted to flash a new (European) ROM, but before it, I wanted to wipe. Oh, no! Here, I was stupid. I wiped everything by that recovery, what the SRK Tool installs.
I lost everything, it wrote me, that no OS. I cannot enter to the recovery, it stucked at the Huawei logo. I even cannot switch the phone off, it only restarts!
Can you please help me to solve this problem and survive my phone?
Thank you for all in advance.

Hello!
Than kyou very much for your help. Yesterday night, I could survive the phone, this is what I did:
VOL- and POWER: fastboot mode
In fastboot mode, I connected to the PC and (beofr it, I downloaded an update.zip and extracted:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now, it is working (seems to be) But what should I do with the other .img files from the update.zip?
Do I have to do any other steps? I think yes, 'cause if I check the Vendor info in th*#*#2846579#*#* menu, there is no country code in my phone
Can you help me, what should I do?
Thank you for your help again.

First off all you should flash your regional firmware(original) then if you want to change region changing region is not big deal download the official one and flash by putting update.app into dload folder in sd card and flash by force update and if you are able to flash recovery then flash twrp recovery and flash custom rom like @chudy rom & @Ale rom if you stay in official states then flash chudy rom much likely to stock and if you like custom rom then flash Ale rom which I use and many other.
Flash twrp recovery and make a full backup then wipe all without sd card and then flash the rom zip file after that wipe both cache and reboot first time it'll take some time but don't worry keep it booting you all done..
Further help needed please ask.:good:
