As long as you can use fastboot, replace it with the version that works on your bootloader:
TWRP 2.4.4. 0-4.2.
CAREFUL: A lot of people bricked their tablets in this state.
Read one of the many threads on this particular issue.

i've tried to flash the new recovery but it remains always the same, for instance i've flashed the 2.5.0.0 4.2 version but every time i boot into recovery it says TWRP 2.4.4.0 (which is the one i had before)

Weird.
Are you using fastboot to flash?
What messages are you getting from fastboot?
Sent from my TF300T using Tapatalk HD
Code:
ERROR: could not get pipe properties
and then it flashes it correctly but nothing seems to change

OK, so flashing fails silently for some reason.
Do you see the blue flash bar on the bootloader screen, when fast boot says "writing"?
Never had any fastboot issues on Linux, but I have seen lots of people having issues with drivers on Windows. If you are using Windows, you might want to read up, how to make sure you have the proper drivers installed.
Short of that, no idea. :-/
Maybe can you post the full output of fastboot?
Should not be more than a couple of lines, right?

Make sure you're using the newest fastboot. There may be a bug on your current version.
Back in August I soft-bricked my tablet - no recovery and no ADB access. Fastboot would turn on on the tablet, but fastboot on my computer (Debian) kept hanging on "waiting for device". I had used fastboot on the same computer a couple weeks earlier to flash a recovery, and lsusb showed all the correct device info, so I thought fastboot was broken on the tablet and I was SOL. Well, fastboot got added to the Debian repos at some point, and I installed that version. 8 months and 2 fastboot updates went by before I even attempted to fix my tablet again (2 weeks ago), but somehow it worked, and I now have an awesome tablet to play with. I have no idea what happened with fastboot when my tablet first bricked, but I can only assume that one of the fastboot updates fixed a nasty bug that only showed up when I bricked the tablet.
I know your device is being recognized by fastboot, and your situation is much different than mine was, but you could be experiencing a completely different bug.

In your bootloader, what version of ASUS firmware does it say you are running. It makes a big difference for which version of TWRP you should be using.
edit:
sorry in your first post i could see you listed it, I think you may be getting this besause you dont have the TWRP version for 4.2 jellybean. the versions that are compatible are labeled -4.2 at the end.
here is the link for the right twrp for asus firmware 10.6.1.8 - http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf300t/openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob
Version 2.5.5.0-4.2. of twrp is only compatible with the update for our tab that came out last week-asus firmware 10.6.1.15.3

at first i didn't install the correct TWRP but now i can't even flash the correct one that's my problem
I believe this may be the same issue that alot of devices suffered from when the 4.2.1 update first came out.
Here is a thread on the issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179874
From what I understand it seems that the 4.2.1 bootloader changed the way that the partition table was setup and thus all previous versions of custom recoveries could not mount any partitions (twrp would ask for password & not be able to mount any partition & cwm also not able to mount any partition) and a new twrp-4.2 version had to be made specifically for the 4.2.1 bootloader.
Still not sure as to why this caused the fastboot issue with the majority of people that flashed an incompatible version of twrp or cwm.
The fastboot issue I am talking about is that when you use the "flash" command everything will seem to go fine , it will say writing... and successful on the command prompt but you will not get any blue progress bar on the tablet itself and after the flash command has completed the fastboot reboot command will not reboot the tablet. Which I find very odd as other fastboot commands will still work without issue.
The only know solution if this is the issue you have is to replace the motherboard.

Well, don't give up yet. That there is no known solution does not mean we can't find any.
If fastboot is broken, can you access via adb, while in recovery?
Also there was a thread on unbricking with fastboot issues. Might try that:

Just shows that it can happen to the best of us!
Why don't you try the method from the thread in my last post?
Seems the guy had the same issue with fastboot and solved it.

i'll definitely try that method! i'll let you know, thanks guys

I'm in the same situation that you're in. I can send simple fastboot and ADB commands to the tab but as soon as I try to write anything, it just freezes and requires a hard reset. You'll find that you will be able to erase and send simple reset/info request but no write commands. You'll be able to erase your recovery partition but you will not be able write anything new to it. Good luck!
I ordered a MB from ebay last night. Now I just need to find a guide on replacing it.....

Make sure you do the NVflash backup first ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901479), then just flash the latest bootloader (make sure you're using TWRP 2.5.0.0) then cromiX here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223492

Which bootloader were you on exactly? There were two for 4.2.1 10.6.1.8 and 10.6.1.15.3. If you flashed TWRP 2.5 on to 10.6.1.8 it might be bad news I'm afraid. What you are explaining is a bricked TF300 other than you still have a bootable rom - do not wipe under any circumstances.

Yeah i kinda figured as much. I thought i did my reading correctly the version i have doesnt mount any thing and when i went to try and load a different version of twrp it showed fastboot as enabled but would i couldnt get my pc to find the recovery file but i think thats unrelated.. well on the bright side its happened to so many people that i guess a fix will come along soon

First of all, upgrade your stock ROM to 10.6.1.15 or higher; more ROMs and recoveries are compatible with that. Then flash the TWRP 2.6 -4.2 recovery.
So in my attemts to in stall CM 11 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2570965) I have ruined mt tablet.
This is what I did.
1.Flashed TWRP 2.6.3.0 via (http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/97) I down loaded that latest .blob file and flashed with fastboot.
2. booted into TWRP
3. nothing would mount.... shutdown.
4. booted into my curent PAC Rom 4.3
5. Rebooted straight into recovery from the rom (I thing this is what screwed the pooch)
6. Boots into TWRP and only into TWRP but nothing is mounted. I cant get into fastboot to install the old recovery and 2.6 doesnt see any drives.
Any help would be great!

You can try. You must be on 10.6.1.15 or above to flash the kitkat zip though.

Try:
Code:
nvflash --create
This will repartition and format everything back to stock. I think you will have to flash the stock ROM after that but I'm not sure how?
