[Q] Help with twrp - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok I rooted my tf300t with motochopper not hard at all but once I tried to flash twrp with fastboot I had two screens. I know I downloaded the wrong file so which one should I use? I've tried 2.5 and 2.6 and my build is 10.6.1.8. I'm a noob when it comes to fastboot so what command should I use/

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.

CWM has always been able to flash boot.img with the ROM if you fastboot booted into CWM, like so: (provided the clockwork-recovery-version-blabla.img file is in your current dir ofc)
Code:
fastboot boot clockwork-recovery-version-blabla.img
Maybe CWM can flash the boot.img on certain Hboot versions, what is yours?
Ooh is there a new CWM version for ville?

from what i read only TWRP had the ability to flash boot.img without going into fastboot and using ADB
but when i went into rom manager it said new clockworkmod 5.8.3.1 so i updated
and noticed the new kernel after a normal rom update in recover (CWM)

Na CWM can do it if booted the way i described. Kind of defeats the purpose though as you still need to have a computer hooked up, might as well fastboot flash the boot image. 5.8.3.1 is a couple of months old. But check which Hboot version you have, that might explain why it works for you. You can also check your kernel version with ADB by the way, like so:
HTML:
adb shell uname -a

[Q] Is flashing a kernel as easy as going to recovery and installing it?

Hi i'm new to the att htc one x, just rooted, and installed twrp... then flash cleanrom5. I also noticed clean has a kernel, i did not see an install guide, but i've installed kernels before on my captivate. So what i'm wondering if it's as easy as....
1. place kernel on phone storage
2. reboot into recovery
3. install kernel from recovery
4. reboot
If there anything i am missing or if i am completely off could someone please help me out with this?
Thank you :good:
If you are on the 1.14 hboot (rooted on 2.20 firmware) you can't flash kernels from recovery. You have to do it using fastboot.

Would you mind walking me through that process?
Unless this makes any difference "CleanROM V is based on the latest Asian 2.29 RUU which is Android 4.0.4, Sense 4.1 and is ODEXED!"
not sure if that means i am on 2.29 rooted.

edit: btw, what exploit did you use to achieve root? Was it the x-factor exploit?

Not the firmware you are on now. The firmware you originally achieved root on. More importantly, what version is your hboot (go to hboot, and the version number is listed)?
If your phone was purchased with 2.20 firmware, and you rooted using the new X-factor exploit method, you have the 1.14 hboot.
Hboot 1.14 plugged the hole by which flashing kernels from recovery was possible. So it can only be done by fastboot.

Ok, since you used x-factor, make sure to flash your boot.img before flashing the ROM
Same with a kernel. Flash boot.img then the kernel zip

Well, If cleanROM is using the same Kernel as stock, then you got lucky. If they use the same kernel, no need to flash boot.img.
If they are different kernels and you dont flash boot.img, you are now in a bootloop
lol Universal City
not bad
Sorry for so many questions lol, just making sure i do this right.
okay so basically i want to download the kernel and the fastboot drivers posted in your post.
Extract the fastboot drivers, and then unzip the kernel, taking the boot.img from it and placing it into the fastboot directory that i just unzipped.
I then want to boot my phone into hboot and select fastboot
open the command prompt and take it to where the fastboot.exe is.
then type fastboot flash boot boot.img into the command prompt
After all this is done i want to go into recovery and flash the zip of the kernel?
Is that all right?

Yeap. Don't "extract" the zip, just drag the boot.img out of the zip

Because the new hboot makes it to where you cant flash kernels through recovery. only fasboot
So why the second flash if the boot.img was flashed via fastboot?
I am just lost in these. Could you recommend any reading except this forum for me to get more understanding? So I don't do anything to my phone?

It wasn't.
boot.img can't be flashed from recovery, it skips it.
Thats why you flash boot.img from fastboot then the ROM from recovery

So although ROM zip file contains boot.img when flashing boot.img won't be flashed? That's why we need to flash is separately? Is it important to flash it before flashing ROM?
Thank you.R
I'm also, learning as I go. From reading and multiple failed attempts at flashing ROMs and kernels, I have found the correct way with 1.14 Hboot.
-dl the rom/kernel
-extract only the boot.img file
- save both .zip and boot to your desired folder.
-go into recovery and mount sd card to pc
-transfer .zip file to your phones sd card
-get back into fastboot on your phone
-transfer boot.img to fastboot folder
-from fastboot cmd prompt(if you have win7, open your folder with fastboot in it hold shift+right click and open cmd)
-type "fastboot boot boot.img" without quotes
-go back into recovery and clean cache/delvik
-then install .zip that you copied to the sd card
You should be good to go from there.
If I have left anything out, please feel free to correct.

TWRP Update gone wrong

I am on the new 4.2 bootloader and TWRP 2.4. Last night I went to upgrade TWRP. I chose the TWRP file named twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob. I renamed the file twrp.blob and pushed it out via fast boot. When done I rebooted via fastboot, and then rebooted into recovery.
Now something is not right, twrp is split into two screens horizontily and shows the lock picture on both. I have to power cylce to get back to Andriod. Where did I go wrong? Should I have chosen the .img file?
Ok I think think I realized there has been a second 4.2 bootloader update from Asus and that's my problem. Is that right?

yes.
A lot of people have soft bricked their device because of this.
Yeah from what I've read twrp 2.5.0.0-4.2 will only work correctly on JB bootloader 10.6.1.15.3, not sure yet if twrp 2.4.4.0-4.2 works on 10.6.1.15.3.
I have no issues with twrp 2.5.0.0-4.2 on JB 10.6.1.15.3

So I have 10.6.1.8 and installed 2.5.0.0 and am experiencing the same problem (the noob proof guide wasn't very noob proof apparently). How would I go about putting on the correct version?
EDIT: So I just took the plunge and reflashed the correct version which I found http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf300t/openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob here. I was initially worried because I wasnt sure if I could just flash over and downgrade versions...it worked for me, and TWRP is currently making a backup and is full screen and running.

Try:
Code:

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?

I really want to update my phone to kitkat or at-least ice cream .can any one help me how i can so that
thanks in advance ....
You don't need s-off to install latest custom ROMs
All you need to do is to flash boot.img extracted from zip after flashing the ROM, using this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
If it's done correctly and your phone still doesn't boot, then you need to look into this

your recomand tread it says su
dmesg | grep -i panel
If the app shows you any text with word "sony" in it - then your device has a screen panel made by Sony (obviously). If that's the case - you can just close this thread at once and don't worry that your device might freeze at "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen after flashing a ROM. Otherwise, proceed forward.
any my phone is made by sony as well

Like said above, flash latest 4ext recovery v1.0.0.6 via fastboot commands. Flash the rom then boot straight into fastboot and flash the boot.img then reboot.
Or if u want to s-off, follow this guide.

You need to use latest 4EXT or TWRP for these newer 4.4 roms. CWM is no good.
