I flashed 2.7.1.2 from the official teamwin website, and did a factory wipe. I copied cm-11-20140831-NIGHTLY-moto_msm8960.zip with md5 to /external_sd and I try to install it from TWRP. It says:
Code:

Erro flashing zip '/external_sd/cm-11-20140831-NIGHTLY-moto_msm8960.zip'
Updating partition details...
I've found a similar issue which was due to TWRP 2.7.1.1 (and solved with upgrade to 2.7.1.2).
Previous attempts were to install M8-moto_msm8960 via ClockworkMod, resulting in dead WiFi. Then I upgraded to TWRP as more recent images would not flash in CWM, and tried nightly snapshot as per above. I am able to flash cm-11-20140708-SNAPSHOT-M8-moto_msm8960.zip in TWRP 2.7.1.2 now, WiFi works. I can wait for the next milestone, or the official CM11, and use M8, but I would like to be able to upgrade later anyway.
Any suggestions as to what to try?

Thanks, that worked!
I just got a used TF700t 64gb US version and I'm trying to flash it to CROMBI-KK. I was able to get it unlocked and TWRP 2.8.3.0 installed (the latest version as of 12/22/2014). However, every time I boot to recovery, it begins with a serious looking error. The output screen always starts off with this:
Updating partition details...
... done
Full SELinux support is present.
E:Failed to get default contexts and file mode for storage files.
MTP Enabled
No other errors are shown at first and I was able to flash the ROM. I tweaked something and it failed to boot so I went back in to reflash it. The error was still there. I have tried several wipes and changed to F2FS but the same error remains. I don't know if it's related to the error or not, but when I try to install while configured for F2FS, it always ends with another error and no OS installed. I didn't get the exact wording, but something about recursion and that something failed (it's quite vague).
Right now it is back to working, but it had to be on regular EXT4 and data journaling to work. Anyone know if there is any way to remove the storage error? Are there any other options I could try to get F2FS working?
You are only changing /data to f2fs, right?
Try to get the recovery log whenever something fails that shouldn't.
In TWRP: Advanced > Copy log
From PC: adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

I was trying to do F2FS on all three available locations (/system, /cache, and /data). I didn't realize that I was only supposed to do it on /data, though when I looked at my older device, that's how it was configured as well.
So the F2FS error is figured out, but then there was the issue of the error in TWRP immediately on loading it. I rebooted my older TF700 into recovery and it did not have the error line. However, I noticed that it was running TWRP 2.8.0.1 and my newer one was running TWRP 2.8.3.0. I upgraded the older device to 2.8.3.0 and, lo and behold, the error appeared. So I'm relieved that the error doesn't seem to be an actual problem with my new device, but I'm curious still on what it means and how to resolve it. Is this something that is just inherently funky with TWRP now, or is there something I can do to configure my device so it will register as TWRP is expecting?

It seems to be a bug in TWRP 2.8.3. I just flashed that version (was on 2.8.1 before), flashed data2sd.zip an got the E: Failed to get default context.... error. I am dirty flashing ZOMBi now and got the same error although the flash seems to be going fine.
I'll post the logs in the TWRP thread. Let's see what the experts have to say....
Hi all,
First off, I am not familiar with alot of the technical wording in these forums so I hope that I am able to communicate properly with my issue.
I was not happy with how slow the stock version of this tablet was so I decided to install a custom rom, however, I managed to get to the point of unlocking it but that's about as far as I got out of being overwhelmed with what came next! Here is where I am at:
I am currently on Android version 4.2.1 and my laptop is running Windows 10.
I have downloaded latest TWRP image file and renamed that twrp.img and it is stored in the main root folder of my tablet (SD Card aka Internal Storage). USB debugging has been enabled after I activated the Developer Options.
The custom rom I am looking at is CyanogenMod version 11 which I have downloaded, however it should be noted that on the download page it says that there is no recovery available for this build?? whatever this means? I also downloaded Minimal ADB and Fastboot but when I connect the tablet to the laptop (the tablet connects fine) I type in the command prompt "fastboot devices" but nothing happens.
I am at a point now where do I try to continue with the custom rom? or go back to stock?
Can anyone help with basic instructions please?
Thanks in advance.
Head to the General section and read the Beginners Guide. It's the first sticky, so it's easy to find.
It's your decision which rom you run, but you should give Katkiss LP or Katshmallow a good look.
The latter is the only rom for this tablet that is still under active development.

Can I ask questions in this thread with reference to the beginner guide?
Sure. Ask away

I managed to now Root the device and when I turn on the device in recovery mode it says the following:
Key driver not found.. Booting OS
Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "WW_epad-10.3.1.14.10-20130601" A03
Starting Fastboot USB download protocol
then it has 3 options - RCK, Android, Wipe Data
I am trying to install 6.0.1 KatKiss Custom Rom (it's downloaded onto the device already)
Thanks

As many times as it takes to understand it. :laugh:
In the meantime I will update post #2 a little.
After installing a recovery you have to:
Format data
Convert /data to f2fs http://forum.xda-developers.com/tra.../guide-convert-data-to-f2fs-twrp-2-8-t3073471
flash Katkiss, gapps and SuperSU in the same session (follow instructions in the OP of the Katkiss thread)
I am not understanding about the installing a recovery. RCK is the stock recovery according to the beginners guide, however it also mentions TWRP.
In order to get KatKiss, what steps do I actually need to do? given where I am currently at?

It's all in my Beginner's Guide - you just have to read it:
Basically the process of flashing a custom ROM on the TF700 involves three steps:
1) Unlock the bootloader using Asus' Unlock tool
2) Install a custom recovery on the tablet
3) Flash a custom ROM of your choice using said custom recovery

This is where I am up to now as per the beginners guide
Place the TWRP file into the same directory as your fastboot.exe.
Again check the connection with
Code:
fastboot devices
If you get the connection, in the command window type:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery <name-of-file>
the error I get says "cannot open twrp" (I renamed the TWRP file that I downloaded) even though this image file has been moved into the fastboot directory on my PC (I downloaded and installed the ADB, Fastboot and Drivers tool)
How did you rename the file? Enable file extensions in Windows Explorer and make sure you did not add a double extension

I renamed the file just in windows explorer and I can confirm that the file name is twrp.img
That's with file extensions enabled? Do you see the extensions for all the files in that folder or just for TWRP?
BTW, which TWRP version do you try to flash? Downloaded from where?

Ok I got past this point, I hadn't added .img to the command prompt.
Now I am in TWRP and attempted to install KatKiss but it came up with "Zip Signature Verification Failed!" Error installing zip file '/sdcard/download/katkiss-6.0_TF700T_026.zip".
It did say that it could not find MD5 file?
I now have 2 options
1 - Wipe Cache/Dalvik
2- Reboot System
Just hit the Home button in TWRP, go back to Install and this time uncheck the box that says "verify zip signature" then flash the rom. It always checks if you have a md5 checksum file, but it doesn't matter if you don't. The flash goes through anyway

Excellent, I successfully installed KatKiss 6.0.1!
Thanks for your help mate!
well, I thought I was in the clear until I realised that I hadn't formatted the data (which apparently is why I don't have file manager and other apps).
I have gone back into recovery to format data and re-flash relevant zip files but now the tablet has frozen during formatting with "unable to mount /data/media/TWRP/.twrps" and also "Failed to Mount '/data' (invalid argument)

You got it resolved?
Katkiss Marshmallow - Can't run Goggle Services/Play
I converted my TF7000T from 4.2.1 to KatKiss Marshmallow, using TWRP Manager on the installation end. Steps included boot access, rooting, wiping/formatting and flashing. Marshmallow functions fine. My problem is that I can't get Google Play or Google Services to run. I tried one installation that was a 'moderate' Gapps installation. It was completely unstable despite some of the apps actually updating. I then repeated the wipe and reinstall of KatKiss-026 and Android 6.0.1 with a minimal Gapps installation - just Google Play Store and Google Play Services. Google Play Services flashes constantly that it is not working. I am also not able to log into my Google Play Store account. I'm afraid I have an outdated version of Google Play. However, I cannot figure out a way to update Play Store or Play Services. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? If I could download a minimal Gapps zip that contained either the current, or update-able version of these two apps, I would also be in business. Help!!
You are running the wrong gapps package I think. You need to install the pico gapps and only the pico gapps package that is linked in the KatKiss OP.
And you have to flash rom, gapps and Supersu(if you want root) in the same recovery session together in that order. Every time. You cannot just flash a gapps package on MM rom anymore.
ROM, pico gapps, supersu - reboot
Oh - and to start out with I'd highly recommend you wipe, better format data before flashing. Wiping of cache and Dalvik goes without saying right?

Yes I did thanks, I haven't played around too much with it though - I did experience it to be very slow when trying to install Facebook app though. I do plan to start using it more often so time will tell.
Hi
I am not sure if anyone is still reading this forum, but I recently found my old Desire S and wanted to flash a ROM to it to revive it.
But I stumbled upon several problems.
The phone has currently twrp v2.8.7.1 installed, but simply installing a rom zip file with it always delivers the same error:
E:Error exectuting updater binary in zip '/sdcard/CM-11S-UNOFFICIAL-BR1-saga.zip
Error flashing zip 'sdcard/...'
I tried several roms I found in this forum, but most of the download links seem to be offline by now. I do not really care which rom is installed. The only goal was to find one which is working and the phone can be used with it.
It is not possible to mount->sd-ext in twrp even though an sd card is installed.
Mount->data is only possible when the sd-card is inserted. If it is removed mounting data is not possible.
Yesterday I had some trouble with wiping most of the available partitions in twrp, but today it seems to work properly, except wipe->advanced->internal storage which results in the error: "Invalid partition selection"
It is probably also worth mentioning that wipe->Format Data->yes was performed, and therefore barely any data is currently on the phone.
ADB and Fastboot commands can be executed from the pc and are being processed.
That's pretty much every information I think would be beneficial to find a solution to the flashing problem.
I also found the thread "[Q] How can I install Mokee rom?" in this forum, where the same problem ("exectuting updater binary in zip ...") seems to be solved by installing a newer version of twrp. But since I think, that the installed one on my phone is the newest, I only think that I could try downgrading the recovery. Not sure if this would help, and where to find an older recovery.
Thanks in advance for any possible solutions to approach the given problem.
Edit:
I installed recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-saga to try a different recovery. Then I pushed the rom via adb. The installation failed with:
"set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E: Error in /sdcard/rom.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted."
Edit2: SOLVED
If someone else should have similar problems:
The error message from cwm seems to indicate that the used rom is not flashable with this version of cwm.
I was able to install the ics rom aokp_saga_milestone-6-120708-2354 with cwm version recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-saga (both can be found in the download section https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601
Try 4ext recovery v1.0.0.6 RC3 build8.
Hi,
I powered up my old TF300T while I want to install ubuntu on it to use it as a laptop or install a custom ROM with android 7 or so. I remember vague that I tried to install another ROM in the past and that I deleted one partition which I should have kept.
I once had this before on another device but couldn't find this thread and cannot login with that account. hence a new topic.
I have a working TWRP (version 2.5.0.0 ) and when I install for instance KitKiss-7.1 I got the following error:
ApplyParsedPerms: lsetfilecon of /system/lost_found to ubject_r:system_file:s0 failed: Operation not supported on transpo
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
can someone point me into the right directions?
