[Q] Cannot flash custom rom

I have a asus tf300t running 4.2.1 with unlocked bootloader and root. I am running twrp v2.5.0.0 and I have already made backups of my apps. I am trying to install a custom rom. Preferably PACman rom but at this point any will do. When I try to flash the rom it go through the whole process then reboots but does not get past the asus splash screen.
What is the problem? Is it that the new bootloader does not accept any custom roms, if so how do I downgrade to 4.1? Otherwise I am open to any advice.

You must be on Jelly Bean 4.2.1
with the Asus Stock bootloader 10.6.1.8 and TWRP Recovery patched 2.4.4.0
or
Bootloader 10.1.15.3 and TWRP patched 2.5.0.0
You will find all versions of Stock firmwares and Stock kernels here
And the TWRP recoveries here

I am currently running the 10.1.15.3 bootloader and TWRP 2.5.0.0, yet it still does not finish flashing the ROM. I even tried to flash a more simple stock based ROM, ie. black beans 8. This did not work either. It went through the twrp flash and restarted but when it got to the ASUS boot up screen it simply stopped. I waited about 10 minutes for it to possibly load however it never did. So I am restored back to my stock and am awaiting any further help.

In the OP for PACman rom it says you must be on android 4.1.1 to flash his rom. You need to pick a rom for your 4.2.1. I am also on 4.2.1 and run CROMI 4.6.6 with no issues. Have also succesfully tried the Energy rom. Read carefully the OP for the rom's you are considering and make sure they are for 4.2.1

I am having the same problem! I am running 4.2.1 and im trying to install blackbean 8 using twrp 2.5.0.0. I factory reset in twrp and wipe cache and dalvic. I then install the the rom and reboot but it will not go past the first boot screen with the tegra logo in the bottom right. It always flashes for a second but then does nothing. I have even tried cm 10.1 and it does the exact same thing. I am still able to restore back to stock. This is my first time flashing a rom so any help would be appreciated!

For the latest [ROM][4.2.2][ OFFICIAL] PAC-man v23.0.0 [OC up to 1.7GHz][New Update 22/06/2013], if you read the installation process, you need to be 4.1.1 and not 4.2.1 and also you need installed custom recovery for JB 4.1 BL !
For the latest [ROM]ASU-JellyBean-Hydro 8 (6/29/13)Liquid Butter..- Tf300 -Official 10.6.1.15.3 Base, you need to be on 4.2.1 and 10.6.15.3 bootloader
and you will see to the changelog:
...not sure if any bootloader will work...

[Q] Troubleshooting while updating to 4.4.4

Hi all,
Since a few days I'm trying to update my Nexus 5 to Android 4.4.4 but everything I've tryed has failed !
Today I'm running stock ROM 4.4.2 + root + TWRP recovery + Xposed
What I've tryed :
_ OTA : device reboot on recovery and does nothing
_ Flash stock using the latest Nexus Rom Toolkit from Wug Refresh : device reboot on bootloader and get stuck on a "downloading..." message while PC get stuck on "downloading bootloader"
_ Flash zip from TWRP : tryed several zip, all of them has failed
I don't know what to do next, so now I'm asking your help...
Also I hope this post is in the right section !

Download vomer's stock rooted 4.4.4 rom from the development section and dirty flash it from custom recovery. This should do the job.

You can find the mentioned rooted stock in my signature, section 6.6

Before trying this custom ROM could you explain me the difference with the stock ROM and why I cannot flash the stock one ?
Is it because I have Xposed or something ?
And also after flashing the custom by vomer, can I try to flash again the stock one ?

The One which we are telling you to flash is the stock rom. Yes, it's because you have Xposed and other modules installed.. God knows what changes it has made to system.
There's no need to flash the factory images again as vomer's thread contains the stock itself.

All of your questions have already been answered, except the Vomer ROM one. While technically a custom ROM, it is only stock ROM with root. So going back to pure stock would be pointless.

can't flash newer TWRP or KK

I have created a post in the transformerforums forum on this issue here:
http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-tf101-roms/44647-unable-unzip-flash-katkiss-4-4-4-a.html
I am able to flash my tablet back to stock and root as well as install custom recovery using Easy Flash, but can't flash KK or a newer version of TWRP. I have run KK before (4.3 I think). Keep getting message that I'm unable to open the zip file.

Well, I was, but with a little help I have now successfully updated twrp to current version. Thanks SidneyK.
However, I am still unable to flash KK 4.4.4-033. I have also tried flashing older versions of KK (i.e., 4.3) with same result. Not sure what to do from here.
Update: Successfully installed KK 4.4.4 using the side loader feature of TWRP. Everything is now right with the world

[Q] Need help going from 4.1.1 to KatKiss

I currently am running CleanROM 3.0.3 Inheritance, android 4.1.1 bootloader 10.4.2.18-20121122 and twrp 2.3.1.0. I would like to be running KatKiss Lillipop.
As far as I can tell, if I can update my bootloader to the 4.2 version I should be able to flash the latest twrp and then KatKiss, but I need help to update my bootloader.

Use fastboot to install the new Stock ROM by flashing the system blob. Then reboot and install the 2.8 TWRP, then the KatKiss ROM.

Solved

Thanks! Worked out great. In case anyone else has a similar problem, I followed this guide by pjc21, flashed the 10.6.1.27 blob directly from 10.4.2.18, and then flashed the latest TWRP and then KatKiss. Worked out great!
