I was able to install TWRP and unlocc bootloader and root. I tried installing PAC-man_23.0.0 wiped and now the tablet will not boot passed the splash screen. I can still get to recovery with no problems. I can't access any sdcards in recovery to try to flash any other roms.

We need more details
What firmware were you on before you tried pacman?(it requires 4.1) if it was me id adb push the latest stock firmware from Asus (the package has a .zip inside a .zip so extract it once and use the second .zip)
There are plenty of guides for using adb push, google it
Make sure you have the right version of twrp for your bootloader, if not replace it with fastboot.

Hi,
Following on from this thread I'm trying to get back to stock rom.
Each time I attempt to flash from (stock) recovery I get
check.partition.size=[__PROP_UNDEFINED__]
Installation aborted
I've tried CUS1 and GEN1 roms from Acer site both with and without the 1st line of the script commented out.
Any ideas?

OK, is there another way I can approach this as I need to get back before sending the tablet off to be fixed.
1) Can I push the ROM somehow using adb? If so, how?
2) What about installing CWM to flash the ROM and restore custom recovery? This would be my last resort as if it didn't work I'm stuck with root files & CWM!
Any help gratefully received as I need to send it back this week.
First off, I have some questions:
1. Are you unlocked?
2. Are you root? (Doesnt really matter)
3. Android 4.0 or 4.1?
4. At which point is that error showing up?
5. What about the stock beta ROMs?
6. Did you rename the ROM to update.zip and to what place did you copy it ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34015330&postcount=108
Somebody had the same problem. Im not sure about the solution though.
You can boot into a different recovery (since the message youre gettin' is from the stock recovery).
Search the forum for cwm. Then use fastboot boot recovery-nameoffile.img
It requires an unlocked bootloader.
1: You can, if you are able to boot into Android. If you can't, adb will not work.
To push a file to your tablet, use the following commands:
adb push update.zip /sdcard
Update.zip being the stock ROM, obviously.
2: Yes. That could work. Try to install CWM and you should be able to flash a stock ROM from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729692
However, you should be able to flash that ROM already. Remember you have to unlock your device. You can, however lock it again by installing a stock ROM; but I heard it will unlock itself after an OTA or flashing another stock ROM or something like that.

4. At which point is that error showing up? After Finding/opening/verifying package
5. What about the stock beta ROMs? No, just the 2 official ones on the Acer site
6. Did you rename the ROM to update.zip and to what place did you copy it ? The downloaded files from ACER are a zip file with a pdf and update.zip inside. I copied update.zip to my SD card. Am I supposed to extract a particular file from it and create an archive out of that that or use the entire thing as I did?

I'm a bit hesitant about installing CWM as I'm not convinced I won't encounter the same problems as I did with stock recovery.
Thanks again Tom

Hi I have question. If my phone USB can't working with PC anymore because the terminal cut out and my Gionee e3 phone stuck on boot logo or bootloop, how can I get it back to normal? Is there a flashable zip files can solve it? If there was please help me. Thanks.
Hey cryingbee,
Can't you get to the recoverymode by pressing volume down and the power button? If not, try booting into fastboot, which I think is volume up + the power button. If those combinations won't work, google for your phone name + fastboot mode. If you can reach fastboot, you can boot into a recovery by using fastboot commands or install new roms etc.
I've unlocked bootloader and i'm trying to install CWM (or any other recovery). I access fastboot, flash the .img file and the debug screen says everything ok. I wait the flash method, normaly reboots, access adb and type : adb reboot recovery, but i ended up on android stock recovery, with the green android.
What can I do ?

I had the same issue, after 3 days of frustration I finally managed to get it working.
First download the MR. PARKINSON'S DROIDHD UTILITY 2.0 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241788
The light version should be fine.
After downloading unzip and create a folder inside the "DROIDHD UTILITY 2.0" folder named "twrp"
Inside that folder put the recovery image you want to use. (It doesn't have to be TWR, it could be CWR or OUDHS.)
Now open the DROIDHD UTILITY 2.0 and select option 2 (Roots, unlocks...)
Then select option 5, Say Yes and continue.
After doing all that you should be good to go. Go to recovery mode and check.
If your phone is operational, you could also download flashify from the android market and flash a new recovery from the phone without using ADB.

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.

So looks like I deleted my android files...................... yes kill me!!!
How it stands:
Im not able to load into Android. The tablet is Unlocked and able to only boot to twrp.
2 out 10 times im able to push a file trought. The other times I get a protocol failure.
I can adb push files but at this point I dont know what files to push. What rom or what do I need to push to get it back?
I also think I lost root since I got a msg from twrp that if I wanted to install something to get root back.....

Use fastboot to install you stock ROM again. Dont use adb push, you can install it from your computer. Then install the correct TWRP for your bootloader and get back to your favorite custom Rom
how do I use fastboot? Is there a guide to use fastboot? Im searching lol Where can I get the stock rom?
Can I use a stock rom with twrp recovery?
Also for stock rom, its says to use the right rom with my SKU version. But I cant boot to find the sku....

When you restart you device and go to the recovery menu, and the top left corner where it says the device is unlocked, there will be the bootloader version. You need that to install the correct TWRP and stock ROM for your device.
When you get that stock ROM, take the stock ROM, extract the *.blob file. Copy that to your fastboot folder.
Restart your tablet and go to fastboot.
Now in CMD, type:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob.blob
It will take about ~300 seconds if you did it right.
You can find the stock ROMs in the index thread in developer forum.
Hello everyone,
I have an OG Pixel 5'', the stock Android was 7.1.2 and I updated it to Android 8.1 Oreo. Bootloader is unlocked, and I am able to install a TWRP 3.2.1-0 no problems. Phone at the time worked well. Now I have tried to flash an ElementalX Kernel on my device. This worked and I managed to boot. However, a message "There is an internal problem with your device, please contact the manufacturer". There is a thread to fix this and I should have done my research better.
Anyway, I went into TWRP and did a complete wipe of the phone, thinking that I could have just boot into TWRP again and copy the stock flashable zips to reflash the ROM.
It turns out that:
a) TWRP doesnt work. I.e when I got into fastboot mode (Power + Volume Down) and selected Recovery, the phone flashed to screen with Google image and then flashed back into the one with the green Android.
b) I managed to boot twrp via fastboot from my computer. So I booted into fastboot mode, and then on my computer, did: fastboot boot <twrp3.2.1.zip>. This worked and I managed to get into TWRP again. However, I cannot transfer file to flash. I.e when the phone showed up on my computer in TWRP, I cannot drag and drop anything into mounted folder.
I have tried the following to get stock ROM from this website: https://developers.google.com/android/images
a) I decided to look at ADB Sideload. So from the above website, I downloaded the zip files under Full OTA Images and then in TWRP, I went into Advance and chose ADB SIdeload. On my computer, I did "adb sideload name_of_zip_file_downloaded". The process started but ended very quickly, the finished time was 0.00 second, which means that nothing happened. Clearly, TWRP console showed that it is unable to mount /data and other folders. I guess the reason is that I am running a "live" TWRP? I checked by going back to TWRP mainscreen and tried to mount. However, all hard drives show 0MB (OTA USB and the main drive).
b) I used factory images approach by downloading zip from the same website, but this time under Factory Images. For this one, I unzip the files to a separate folder. Then I did flash-all.sh script but it said that my fastboot is too old.
So... to fix fastboot, I tried: (I am on Ubuntu 16.04.02)
a) Remove whole android fastboot with sudo apt-get remove, then reinstalled => Did not work. Still fastboot is too old
b) Download entire Android SDK from here: https://developer.android.com/studio/install.html. Fastboot still didnt work
c) From the Android Studio website, I tried to download just the command line tools. However, I could not find the folder with fastboot in it. A Google search shows that the fastboot and adb should be in platform-tools folder. Couldnt find any
Once again, I apologize for a very very long thread (It's 5am and I am trying to figure this thing out). Please, let me know if you guys can offer any help. Any help is greatly appreciated. FYI, I am coming from a Moto Z Play, and if things happen I would just boot into TWRP and copy the zip over. Clearly, this is not the case. This is my 1st Pixel as well.
Please let me know and thank you very very much.
Installing ex messes with the boot.IMG you need to reflash twrp after. Also don't manually flash stock zips that doesn't even make any sense. Download the latest android sdk or base platform tools then get the latest factory image and extract it into platform tools. Then go into fastboot and manually flash the official factory image
To use fastboot on ubuntu you have to put sudo infront of the command: sudo fastboot ........, Because of a permissions thing.

Thank you everyone. I have managed to reflash the OS. Gonna stay with stock kernel

I personally recommend using a custom kernel just make sure to follow the OP exactly. As the kernel and twrp are usually stored in the boot.img together and the kernel overwrites the boot.img the problem was likely that you just did things in the wrong order which would cause twrp to be removed. Typically the order of installing custom stuff from stock goes this way: flash_all to restore stock boot.img, boot twrp, factory wipe, flash rom, flash twrp, boot rom, reboot into recovery, flash kernel, flash twrp, reboot system, reboot recovery, flash magisk. Some rooms vary as they may require you to do things like flash a vendor img or delete the vendor overlay folder(always follow OP).
