I'm not being able to flash recent roms. I keep getting error status 7. For JB 4.2 and later, I can't flash them. I can flash rom 4.1.2 and earlier.
I'm on 3.18 firmware (latest i think). unlocked and rooted. BUT I have S-ON, is that the problem? If I S-Off. will I be able to flash recent roms? I want kitkat on my phone Sorry im noob
What recovery version are you using?

2.5.0.0 i think, ye. that's it. but I tried with both CWM and TWRP, non work. I suppose S-off is the problem right?
Your recovery is the problem. If you want to flash KitKat ROMs you need the modified TWRP 2.6.3.0 by jrior001, you'll find that in our Original Android Development section. Any other ROM you want the official TWRP 2.6 which you'll find here:

Hello, I have a problem after S-OFF my One S, describing a problem:
I decide to s-off my one s, I'm on stock rom jb witch newest hboot, do everything like in tutorial, supercid etc. and finely got S-OFF :good:
On stock is no problem everything works fine. I want to flash custom rom (device is S-OFF status unlocked, rooted, supersu working fine, with flashed newest TWRP). I turn on TWRP chose instal zip and it starting and after 2 second stopped with failed operation. I tried for rom thickdroid and viper checked md5 and file is OK. After failed flashing the phone cannot start, helps flashing stock ruu jb from .exe file and it flash without any problem and then work but if I try ones more the problem is still happen. Any idea what is happen ??? thanks for any idea and helps
Use older version of TWRP or use latest CWM recovery instead - TWRP version 2.4.3.0 does not work well, not sure about 2.4.4.0.
you've got a right, on CWM everything working and I can flash rom
I'm on the 4.1 bootloader and have flashed the patched TWRP 2.4.4.0 recovery for 4.2 bootloader.
Will I run into trouble when flashing 4.1 bootloader based ROMs? (i.e. should I use the "normal" TWRP 2.4.4.0 when flashing 4.1 based ROMs?)
Since you have flashed 4.2, Your choice is to either downgrade using the method listed here. Or Flash one of the two roms compatible with 4.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195883
There are only 2 roms compatible with the 4.2
Thanks man. But I havent flashed 4.2 yet, Im still on the 4.1 bootloader. I only flashed the patched TWRP 2.4.4.0 recovery as yet.
Ok, You know the patched 2.4.4.0 is for 4.2 right?
Yes I do, hence my question.
then you answered your own question.
yes you will run into truble flashing a 4.1 rom with a recovery meant for 4.2 the patch version changes the mount points.
Cheers guys :good:
My device:
- TF300
- Android 4.2.2. / CM10.1 (10.1-20130621-nightly-tf300t)
- WW_epad-10.4.2.9-20120809 (= 4.1 bootloader version)
- TWRP 2.6 recovery (for bootloader v4.1)
My aim is to update to CM10.2, therefore I need a bootloader version 4.2. I downloaded the latest firmware from the asus-website (TF300T-WW_epad-10_6_1_27_5-UpdateLauncher.zip) and put it on /sdcard.
But I'm in doubt:
- Is the asus firmwire described above the best way to upgrade my bootloader? And can I use TWRP to install this zip?
- If so, do I need to change the TWRP version to 2.6 ready for -4.2 (teamw.in/project/twrp2/97) not at all, before or after I installed the new bootloader?
I know bootloader/recovery issues can easily brick a TF300, so to be sure I ask. Thanks in advance!

I flashed the blob via fastboot. Then flashed recovery via fast boot. Then cm10.2 from recovery. I was on old June build of 10.1 and 4.1 bootloader same as you. Be safe fastboot flash follow guide in q and a section

Same question, but not exactly answered: can you do this without a cable connection with your pc?

Honestly, I'd rather be safe than sorry when upgrading bootloaders. So I would always suggest using the cable connection because it is less likely to fail. You probably could get away without using it to flash stock, but you wouldn't be able to flash TWRP without fastboot, and then couldn't flash a custom ROM. But everything feels safer once you have Nvflash backups.

I was in the same situation as you not so long ago. Was on 4.1.1 with TWRP 2.6.3.0 JB installed. Asked myself these questions repeatedly. I updated via fastboot to the staging partition using the blob within the latested ASUS firmware zip file. The blob file contains, bootloader, recovery, system and boot. This means your are essentially returning to stock everything upon flashing. This was a huge sigh of relief as I didn't want to brick my device because of the same concerns you have. So I flashed via fastboot to 10.6.2.10 then flashed to TWRP 2.5.0 4.2 as 2.6.3.0 didn't work for me for some reason. I heard a number of people say that 2.6.3.0 4.2 is buggy and suggested to stay with 2.5.0 in which I would recommend from experience. Then flash your custom firmware.
Pretty lost by now. I am still (sick of it) on an unlocked Asus stock 4.2.1 with TWRP 2.5. My intention is to change the ROM but was considering CM 11 which I understand does require TWRP 2.6.X at least. I was hoping for a fix for installing navflash on post JB but I believe does not possible so anything that means touching the bootloader makes me very concern.
I was wondering:
- Can I flash TWRP 2.6 (4.2 img file i beleive) directly from my already installes TWRP 2.5 bootloader and then install CM 11? or do I need fastboot process again?
- Is CM 11 worth on the TF300? I just need some stability and reasonable speed after having so many problems with the stock rom.
Thanks.

Yes, CM11 requires TWRP 2.6.3.1.
You can install NvFlash on a JellyBean Bootloader, link and guide is in my signature.
If you bootloader is above 10.6.1.8, you can just flash the TWRP 2.6.3.1 and then reboot and then flash CM11 + gapps.
I think it is super smooth with the OC Kernel.
Hi... im currently running
CROMi-X v5.2.2, which is based on rom 10.6.1.27.5 with twrp 2.5.0.0 and my bootloader says is the one that came with us10.6.1.15.3-20130416...
To install omni kitkat, im been asked to have the latest bootloader, to avoid screwing up im planning on insalling the latest stock from asus...
However, each time i install a stock through twrp or cwr, the new image not only updates the bootloader and deletes all my data, but rewrites my recovery, for which then i have too reupload using fastboot to upload the recovery...
Is there any way to make sure i dont loose the recovery after flashing a stock firmware... or a way to flash the recovery from the recovery before rebooting after flashing the stock?
Thanks everyone!

Flashing the stock ROM reverts the tablet back to stock, so the recovery must go. Luckily, the bootloader you are on is compatible with the KitKat recovery (10.6.1.15.3) so you shouldnt have to flash the stock ROM at all. If you were on 10.6.1.8, you would have had to upgrade.

Thanks, then guess i only need to flash the kitkat twrp...
Asked the same question about my bootloader at the omni thread to be sure, if they say that it works too, will go ahead and give it a try
I rooted my phone today, but I have read that unfortunately the newest TWRP recoveries won't install some ROMs. I currently have the 2.6 recovery, how do I downgrade it without bricking the phone? Say, to 2.3.3?
Thanks a bunch.
EDIT: I managed to downgrade it to 2.3.3.0. Now, however, I cannot use the recovery because the touch screen won't work in recovery. Any help?
Where did you read that? That's not right. I think you misunderstood what you read. You want the absolute latest version (2.6.3.0) which has been modified by jrior001 so it can flash KitKat ROMs. You'll find it in the Original Android Development section.
PS. The reason 2.3.3 isn't working is because it's so old that it needs a touchscreen firmware downgrade. You don't want that version anyway, find the one I mentioned above.
