Alright, so, my tablet decided to one day just cease stop working. The recovery for some reason can't flash anything now, is used to be able to flash a backup, but not anymore. It used to be able to boot past the animation, but not anymore. I cannot flash a ROM from recovery because it says that the file is bad (and please, don't tell me to check to see if the md5's are correct, they are, I've triple checked.) I've flashed CWM recovery and TWRP recovery, and TWRP cannot fix permissions, but CWM recovery can, but neither can flash a single ROM. I've tried sideloading a rom but i get this error from the CMD window
Code:
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *
. I'm at my wits end here. The bootloader is perfectly fine, it works 100% but I can't flash a single thing from recovery. I've flashed non-corrupted recoveries, and still I cannot flash a thing.
You have flashed the latest TWRP via fastboot and it still wont flash roms? Also, what bootloader are you on?

What tablet do you have?
From where did you download which recovery for which Asus tablet.
Sounds like the recovery version doesn't match the device.

Asus Tf700 32 GB. I got the recovery from the TWRP website. In answer to the boot loader question, I have no idea how to check. All I know is that I can choose between RCK, Cold Boot, Fast boot and Wipe Data.

Have you ever unlocked the bootloader? (If not: do so by searching on Asus' site for the Unlock Bootloader Tool v7) It's a simple apk which you install and then check and let it unlock.
Only then, you can start flashing!
If you already have unlocked, maybe you sent it in (?) Or flashed an official Asus rom (?), you might want to unlock it again.
Let us know if any of these answers above helped

If you have the 4 icons that indicates JB.
Sounds like the custom recovery is not installed if your on the RCK icon and press the up volume rocker and nothing happens.

Unlocking it would require an OS to be installed, but none is installed because I was wiping to install a different ROM. I have unlocked it. In response to the boot loader, yes, it has 4 icons. So I guess it is the JB boot loader. When I go to RCK it does boot recovery but from there on its unable to open any zips besides any backups I have. When I reload a backup it doesn't install the OS, but it restores everything else.

Can you get adb shell access to your recovery?
Which ZIP are you actually trying to flash? What is the exact error message from the recovery? Try running md5sum (inside the adb shell) on the file you want to flash. Check the output of "mount". Check if /cache/recovery/log contains interesting info.

Alright, I'll have to try that when I get home in about 3-4 hours. I'll get back to you on that. Also, I noticed last night that when I was on fast boot, it would stay stuck as waiting for device on the cmd window. I'm not sure if it was my computer that didn't detect it or a new symptom. O hope its just a fluke!
Alright, here's the log from my recovery.

OK, I assumed that you're not using data2sd. 1. Make sure your microsdcard is good (reformat and recopy your backup or rom if needed),2. Boot into twrp and wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, wipe system, wipe internal then finally the most important part, FORMAT SDCARD. Now reflash a new rom or try to restore from backup. I would try step#2 first. Good luck.
EDIT: format sdcard instead of wipe sdcard.

Hi Team,
It seems that after 1 year of using TF700 64GB, ssd disc is corupted.
I had installed CWM+CM 10.2 stable, but system has lags and has a problem with booting (2 sucess from 5 times?). I try to make new installation via CWM (+factory reset/wipe dalvik cache).First problem was with mounting \System, \Cache...factory reset was unsuccessful...its possible that i used factory reset in menu after going to recovery menu too...
Recovery mode CWM is still functional, i can change recovery via fastboot to TWRP without problems, but there is bootloop....
Android system doesnt want startup...
Im looking for dump of bootpartitions mmcblk0boot0 + mmcblk0boot1 (images of these partitions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274333) - or any advices to resolve my problem.
Unfortunately, i can not dump these 2 partitions from non rooted tablet and i havent any unlocked/rooted....
Thanks in advance for any helpful reply!

I sounds as if you are on the wrong bootloader. For CM 10.2 you have to be on a 10.6.1.14.4 or later bootloader. What's your version?
And the quoted sentence leaves me scratching my head: Which recovery do you have installed: CWM or TWRP? You can't have both..... Also post which version.
You probably have to
- flash bootloader and recovery in fastboot
- at least wipe, maybe format your /data partition in recovery
- flash the rom

Now i using TWRP. Before this bootloop/android starting problem i had CWM. TWRP i flashed later via faastboot.
Tablet worked with CM 10.2 without problems a few days, so i suppose that bootloader version was correct...
My friend, which helping me resolve this said, that from ADB console this 2 partitions are unreadable...
therefore advised me to obtain images this hidden bootpartitions from the same type of TF700...
thx!
Not sure what or why your friend is suggesting, but I'd try formatting data from inside twrp first.
You still haven't said what versions you are using so we are guessing when trying to help you.

hi,
i want to say BIG THANK YOU 4ALL - for your advices.
I decide to send tablet as a complaint. I will inform you about results.
Well, i tried to root my TF300t today, from 4.2.1 official ROM.
I installed TWRP 2.5.0.0 then 2.6.3.0 as well as some root files. Then i installed this rom,with the root file included as well as 2.6.3.1 TWPR.
I entered the OS, but i could not get WIFI.Then i rebooted to TWPR and since then i cannot do anything.
Firstly, TWPR asks me for some password which i have no clue what kind of pass it might be.
Then i pressed back, and i entered the TWPR menu, where i found out that i don't have access to and kind of memory.Neither internal or external SD as well as i can't log into OS.
Also, when i tried to do some wipes, i could not wipe dalvik cache.
When i go to restart to OS from TWPR, i get a message "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to power off?" message.
Also, i get this message: "Install SuperSU? your device does not apear to be rooted. Install SuperSU now?This will root your device"
This is doing absolutely nothing.It does not instal Root.
UPDATE: Ok.I managed to get ext SD card to be mounted.In ext sd card i have some android 4.4 (see above which version on the link) but i am unable to instal it.
Error Message : "Unable to open zip file."
When i try to instal root i get a Success Message but it keeps saying to me that no root installed.
Any idea what is wrong?
Probably the version of your bootloader does not match the version of TWRP you installed.
Can you get to the bootloader screen to check the exact version number on the top-left?

OK, that is the latest version.
Did you pick the TWRP with -42 in the name or scanno's version from the OmniROM thread?
The latter should be used for 4.4-based (kitkat) ROMs.
Neither the -ics nor the -jb versions work with your bootloader.

I used the 4.4-based TWPR.
Well, i think that the problem occured when i cleared the System Data.Now system data shows 0mb (Internal Storage (0mb) ).Also, if i try to wipe System or data or internal storage i keep geting a "failed" message.
E: Unable to wipe '/data' probably because i don't have access to it.
You need to reboot fully into android after flashing recovery. That's why twrp doesn't work and asks for password when u don't.

I loged into Android, but could not get Wifi to start, so i rebooted into TWPR and did a system wipe and i believe that that caused all the problems.
So right now,i don't have an OS to load into.What should i do to get out of this situation?

Try erasing most partitions via fastboot:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase data
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase recovery
Then reflash TWRP and try again.
Somewhere in the threads is a list of all partitions you can erase, but above list should be a good start.
EDIT: Instead of flashing TWRP, you might first flash Asus ROM via fastboot and boot that.
Then reflash TWRP, wipe and flash custom ROM.

Thank you very much.
I did wipe all these couple of times.Some of them deny access or there are no data at all to delete so i get a failed message.
So, let me sum what i have to do.
1. Install Stock Asus 4.1.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893714
2.Install a new TWRP openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-tf300t-ICS.blob
3. Go in TWRP do a data wipe, cache wipe
4.Flash a new custom rom.
5. Flash latest TWRP.
Please confirm that these are the correct steps.I got chills after this adventure!Even though i am familiar with android rooting and ROM flashing, TF300t seems to be a whole new chapter.

Yeah, thanks to Asus for all those incompatible bootloader versions.
Those steps look basically right to me, just some remarks:
Pick the latest Asus ROM 10.6.1.27.5. If you don't find it in the tread, download from Asus web site.
According to your bootloade version, make sure it is the "WW" version (not "US" or "JP", etc.).
After step one, before flashing TWRP, actually boot into the Asus ROM once.
Step 5 should not be necessary, as flashing a custom ROM should leave your recovery untouched.

While attempting to flash the latest unofficial MIUI build yesterday, I got stuck at the animation logo, so I gave up. Instead, I flashed the Android L developer build, which did boot up completely for me. However, when I attempted to boot back into recovery, I got prompted to enter my encryption passcode, which I did. However, TWRP keeps telling me that decryption failed and to try again. The issue isn't an incorrect passcode, so I'm at a loss to try to figure out what's going on. Also, because TWRP won't decrypt my storage, I can't flash anything (despite the fact that I'm able to access SD card files from a file manager app when the phone is on). Any way I can get TWRP to decrypt my storage without having to wipe everything completely? Has anyone else experienced this?

Unless you used Towelroot, then you'll have to unlock the bootloader, which will wipe.
Really what I need is to figure out why TWRP isn't recognizing my encryption PIN. My storage is encrypted, but whenever I input my encryption PIN, I get an error message. How do I get it TWROP to recognize my encryption PIN?
Doesn't flashing L mess with your sdcard anyway?

Encryption always causes issues. I suggested to reflash TWRP with fastboot to rule out TWRP itself being the issue.

Then you are all set.
In the wipe menu, wipe /system and /data and /cache (this will nuke your data) to get rid of all leftovers that might have caused the bootloop.
Plug it into a PC, copy Cyanogenmod over (this time verify the sha1sum, against the one on the download website, to make sure the download is correct and did not cause the bootloop)
Install Cyanogenmod, without Gapps for the first test
Bootloop should be gone
If the bootloop happens again, you might need a newer version of TWRP, but 2.8.x.x should do the job.

on my moto g xt1033,
after, installing ROM CM-13.0-20160820-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0J1-falcon
Then i, installed Gapps = ARM_6.0_micro (opengapps.org)
then everything is fine play games, etc.
i installed super su from play store, but unable to update binary!
so boot into recovery and flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
now i stuck in boot loop,
(Earlier Point)now what to do?> and after installation of rom twrp asking me for partition modification- Keep Read-Only OR Allow Modification. i select allow modification. so where i go wrong?
NOw stuck in boot loop, i can able to in Fastboot and select recovery also,
so what do i do, option 1-> wipe everything n install rom , gapps again.
option2-> without wiping install rom (like doing overwrite) on already installed rom.
and also suggest how to ROOT? which superSU.zip i flash on cm13
I have TWRP 3.0.2-0 version working fine.
