I have a rooted (Superuser 3.1.3) TF101 with TWRP 2.7.0.1. I HAD Katkiss 4.3 installed. One day the tablet locked up and then starting bootlooping. I went into recovery, wiped everything, did factory reset, format /system.
Then I tried to reflash Katkiss 4.3_020, it failed with "set_perm: some changes failed". I then tried katkiss 4.4.2_023c - it failed with a similar error message. Tried flashing stock (US_epad-user-9.2.1.27) - same thing. The first part of the error message for all three ROMs is the same set_perm failure. The next couple of lines gives different error messages depending on the ROM. Generally something like: "E: error executing updater binary in zip".
Now I have a tablet with no ROM on it (when I tried to boot it hangs at the ASUS screen). I can get into the TWRP recovery menu just fine - I can flash other things like superuser or gapps without error. But any ROM I try to flash gives the set_perm error.
Any thoughts?

Try using Easyflasher to flash a different version of TWRP in case recovery is the problem, TWRP builds newer than 2.3.2.3 are not official builds, they have been continued by another member here once the project was abandoned by the original team

Use Easyflasher to flash TWRP again - then try flashing KatKiss #23
Thanks but...
Easyflasher doesn't seem to work for me anymore (odd because it is what I first used to root/update my TF101). It runs and declares success - but nothing gets pushed to my device. Tried both SBK1 and SBK2. Using universal naked 0.72 and 0.73 on win7 64 bit.
I tried to find an older version of TWRP like you suggested - but I couldn't. Seems they want you to use "goo manager" from the play store... which doesn't work for me since I can't boot... And the goo website doesn't list an older TWRP for my device.
In any case, the latest TWRP seems to work in every other respect. I read somewhere that superuser can set an "immutable" bit that can survive a wipe? If true - could that be my permissions problem?

I'm new as one can get at this and likely deserve any hammering I may get....TF1010 B70, CWM 5.8.3.4, I know I missed a step somewhere. I can't recover to 4.3 as the back up was bad, not recognized by any computer, loops to recovery and holding power and vol dn the booting to the linuz get me a long (14 hrs) flashing KatKiss boot screen.
I've tried Easyflasher aswell with no results, Please, any hope for this thing, Thanks in advance!
Sounds like your problem is a bit different - can you get into your bootloader? After voldown+power you should see some small text in the upper left of the screen then immediately hit vol up.... From there you should be able to reflash any ROM...

Thanks for your reply, when I do use that button combo, it goes into the ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.3.4, the native one seems to be gone.
Is that a bad thing? Once in ClockworkMod - you can install a new ROM (such as KatKiss or even go back to stock). Just find the right zip file on the web, copy to your sdcard and then in clockwork select that zip file to install.... Or am I missing something?

Ok - back to my problem - I installed a new recovery and get the same error. The two recoveries I have tried are TWRP (2.3 and 2.7.0.1) and cwm-6.0.2.1-notouch-hybrid. Both seem to work fine (and I had no trouble previously with my device running TWRP and Katkiss 4.3).
After a crash I needed to reinstall a ROM. I've copied four ROMs to my sdcard (Katkiss 4.3, Katkiss 4.4.2, Omni 4.4.2, and stock asus). I've tried all 4 ROMs with both recoveries. I get the same error when I try to install the zips. Usually it is "set_perm: some changes failed". Though stock asus zip fails with a different message "Assert failed: package_extract_file(“blob”, “/tmp/blob”)".
Any ideas on what is keeping a recovery from installing the zip? Note they can install other zips fine (i.e. other recoveries, superuser, gapps, etc.). But not the ROM.

[SOLVED]
So after having my Transformer for some time now (unlocked, rooted, and running CROMI) it began to get sluggish. I wanted to upgrade to something else, and decided to try PA HALO http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2376927
I missed something somewhere, prob the fact that I installed TWRP over my CWM that I had from long ago, instead of upgrading to the new CWM, or the fact that I'm still on the 10.4.4.25 bootloader. I rebooted into recovery, flashed the PA zip, rebooted into recovery, flashed the new GAPPS, and wiped the cache and Delvik. When I went to boot it up the "ParanoidAndroid3+" text and neon jellybean/fish thing show up, then nothing.
I (stupidly) did not make a new backup before doing this change (though there is one from my CWM, but TWRP doesn't seem to recognize it).
ADB does not seem to be working. When I select the USB icon, while using the power+volDown, I get the message "starting fastboot usb download protocol" and ADB does not see the device. If I let the device try and boot (when it gets stuck at the neon jb/fish) ADB sees the device, but gives the error <waiting for device> when I try and flash the new CWM. I seem to be able to access the terminal from TWRP, so I know there is a way to load the old CWM restore files, I just don't know how.
Help is needed.
found a way to do it, but I guess it took away my root when I flashed the new rom. Now I get "su is not recognized" from the terminal..... I'm downloading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2107271 and will try to get the os to boot. I can always re root the device, but I kinda need the device to boot into something first.
You missed quite a lot to get yourself into that pickle.
The second line of the PA thread reads:
GET THE LATEST BOOTLOADER AND RECOVERY
The link leads you to the CM 11 thread where it says in no uncertain terms that you need to be on the 10.6.1.14.4 or later bootloader. You think a 10.4.4.25 bootloader will run a JB 4.3 rom?
I hope you get it working.... Good luck

Thanks for the kind kick to the nuts guy. I flashed the new bootloader (10.6.1.14.4) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223918 that was already on the root of my tablet, downloaded GAPPS (4.2.2-4.3) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405292 and placed it on MicroSD card, and already had the PA rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039557
Did some searching and came across a thread (can't find it now) that said to wipe before and after installing GAPPS.
It works now. The process went as follows:
1. Flash bootloader and reboot into recovery
2. Wipe cache/Delvik, flash GAPPS, wipe again
3. Flash rom
4. Reboot and wait for the rom to settle
Something is still wrong, or I'm not understanding the layout of PA, because I'm missing some options and buttons for some apps I've downloaded. I've made a back up with TWRP (for just in case), and am going to try getting CM 10.2 on there.

Hello,
My TF700 was on a CleanRom (2.3 i think), for a while, i decided to update.
- I installed the latest CWM (via fastboot) and flashed a Cyanogen 10.2 "stable", but my tablet freezed very quickly after successful boot, i tried some reboots and get same problem.
- I tried to install a stock ODEX root ROM, the tablet freezed at asus logo
- I flashed TWRP instead of CWM, it doesn't helped
- I tried wipe data and cache with TWRP, then my data was not accessible anymore and TWRP was unable to re-create it
- I searched on forums and found on this one that flash a boot.blob file can solve the problem
- It doesn't and now CWM and TWRP refuse to work ....
So i post here before getting my tablet completely brick.
At this point, i get access to fastboot / abd, CWM load but don't work (reboot when trying to do something), TWRP don't load.
Any suggestion to get back to a Stock ODEX rooted rom ?
Excuse my english ...

Sounds like you are on an old bootloader. Flash the stock rom from asus by unzipping the zip you download from their website and placing in the root folder of your micro sd and then go into rck from the bootloader menu (power + volume down whilst booting)
Or you could just flash it from recovery....

I buy a tf700 with cm 11 a few days ago i am really interessted on how this steps works. I really want to make it unbrickeable, But i dont really understand how it works. I can not enter in fastboot. at least i got cwm interface when rebooting with adb into recovery.
Can u explain how you did it?
It invovles flashing a modified bootloader and the flatline recovery and then using Wheelie to generate your nvflash blobs.

Stuck in boot loop, fastboot and recovery accessible
Hello,
I'm having a similar issue and I need help! Initially my tablet was rooted with Cromi-X 5.4. Then I decided to try Crombi-KK.
Here is what happened:
- Updated TWRP recovery
- Did a full wipe as recommended
- Flashing got stuck at the Crombi-KK loading sign
- Tried to reflash but TWRP wasn't detecting data partition anymore
- Instead installed the other recommended recovery CWMR.
- Flashed Crombi-KK, it worked. Played around with it for a few days, it was wonderful, fast and responsive.
- Battery died out and when I turned it back on I got a UIDs system inconsistent error.
- I found online many recommendations to reflash so I tried to do that
- Since then I'm stuck in a boot loop. I see the initial "bios" Asus logo then it restarts over and over.
- I am able to access bootloader and recovery
I've tried reflashing the asus stock blob. I've tried wiping the data through CWMR but it starts working and then it restarts. I don't know what to do anymore, so if anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks
Which recovery and bootloader version do you have now?
A (for KK) outdated bootloader seems the most likely culprit.
You can try save the recovery log when you flash or grab a logcat of the bootloop, but probably it'll only tell you that the recovery cannot mount /data.
Determine that you are on the correct bootloader, if not update it. If you're lucky the tablet will start right up. If it doesn't, formatting /data is the only way I know to get it back. Not just wiping - formatting it. You will loose everything on internal SD, so I hope you have a nandroid you can restore from later.
If you use TWRP 2.7+ be aware that formatting can take more than an hour. Let it finish!
For good measure, download CROMBi-KK again, check the md5 and then flash that file.
I'm on 10.6.1.14.10 bootloader which I think is the latest one
I have 6.0.4.7 CWMR
I'm trying to format data completely but when i do it in CWMR it starts and then the tablet reboots on it's own after a couple of minutes.
How can I retrieve the logs, I never had to do it before.
Thanks for your help
Mhh, getting a little more complicated.
Your BL is ok...
What do you see in CWM when you go into Mounts and Storage? What is mounted?
The recovery logs are under Advanced > show logs.
I'm at work now but from what I remember the only thing mounted was the cache. I'll double check tonight. Do you think there's any hope or I have a brand new paper weight?

Can you fastboot flash twrp?
It's much much better than CWM, has its own terminal and will be easier to offer the correct format command.

So I flashed TWRP and when I go in mount/storage everything is selected except for system. Should I do a format data from the wipe menu before flashing crombi-kk again?

To be in the safe side, yes, that is what I would do. TWTRP 2.7.+ takes a long time to format and it may seem the process got stuck. Give it at least 90 minutes to finish.
Then reflash CROMBi
I'm back up and running !!!
This time installing TWRP, everything was mounted (maybe my previous flash before CWMR wasn't good), did a format data, waited until it was done, flashed latest Crombi-KK and going through setup now. Hopefully won't have the same UID issue on next shutdown. I didn't enable fsync or journaling so hopefully it won't happen again.
Thanks both of you for your help!
Good deal! Happy for you!

Hey guys,
I'm having some trouble with flashing a new ROM and now I've soft-bricked my device.
I was trying to flash from CROMi to CM11 so I wiped data, cache, dalvik using TWRP. But when i tried to flash CM11 M9, i would get the "failed" error. I tried flashing other ROMs but same result - "FAILED".
So I thought maybe it was the recovery. I downloaded a CWM recovery (in .zip) and tried to flash it. FAILED!
I tried to restore my device using the "Recover /Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore with custom recovery" method from this post. Since it is basically flashing the stock ROM, naturally it fails.
Now I'm out of ideas. How can I save my tablet?
Thanks for your help guys!
PS: I'm trying to install CMW via fastboot. When I press power + vol down, I get to the screen with "RCK, Android, Data Wipe"; I dont see the USB icon. How do i boot into fastboot?
You are in fastboot mode when you see the three icons. Read the tiny script.
Except for CM11 M9 you did not give us anything to work with.
Give us the version numbers of:
- CROMi-X you were running
- your bootloader
- your recovery
My best guess is you are trying to flash something with an incompatible recovery, but that's just a wild guess.....
And stop flashing willy nilly until you know what's going on. You can brick this tablet if you try hard enough, you know....

Hey bern,
Thanks for the reply.
My tablet got really slow so I decided to flash CM 11 M9, which is what I use on my Note 3.
I'm running TWRP 2.6.1.0. Not sure which CROMi I was running because I can't boot into Android. I did a data wipe prior to (attempting to) flashing CM11 and now it boots straight to recovery.
I read that TWRP is not compatible with CM11 and that I should flash CWM. But TWRP fails when I try to flash anything so I'm thinking I should attempt ADB sodeload or terminal command and load that way?
Thanks again
Edit: I downloaded CM11 M9 for tf700. I also tried various nightlies in case my original download was corrupt. It ends in failure

Hi berndblb!
I'm also having this problem and I see that you're quite active in the TF700 forum that you could help me out. I wouldnt say I'm an expert but I have tinkered with phones (mostly Samsung and Nexus devices) in the past so I am familiar with ADB, terminal commands, flashing ROMs, etc.
I'm running TWRP 2.6.1. I was running CROMi-X (not sure which version) and wanted to flash OmniROM. However, TWRP would show "error flashing zip" and "failed" in red. I tried flashing a few other zips including TWRP 2.7.1.1 and CWM (I readTWRP is not compatible with some ROMs) and I would still get the error and "failed".
So now, I can't boot into the OS to flash a recovery via fastboot or via CWM Rom Manager, nor can I flash anything in TWRP. I also attempted to flash TWRP 2.7.1.1 via terminal command
HTML:
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4[HTML]. I loads but it doesnt install when i restart my device.
What do you think I should try next? I'm getting pretty desperate at this point. Is my device bricked-bricked or can i salvage it?
Thanks!

Exactly.
I also would like to know how you performed the wipe you mentioned. The tablet booting only and straight to recovery would indicate that you used 'Wipe Data' from the bootloader???
Also, do not use ROM Manager. It does not work well with the Transformers and can cause a lot of problems.
I have a feeling another user is going to benefit from your excellent unbrick guide, Josh...

No bootloader ?
No nvflash blob backups ?
If that is the case then you are not looking good ...

Does TWRP 2.8 (latest version 2.8.7.0) okay to start out with? Meaning, if we are at the latest version of stock (ASUS build JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.27-5-20130902; Android 4.2.1) and we are going to flash a custom rom for the first time, the latest versions of TWRP won't brick our devices?
It could be that I'm just confused because there were lots of older versions that reference individual Android builds (JB vs ICS). And people would say "if you have X version of Android, use Y version of TWRP or you're gonna brick it".
Can't enter twrp but everything ok
Today i flashed 2.8.7.0 img with twrp 2.8.5.0 and than reboot tablet. Than i tried enter the recovery but tablet booting normally.
In bootloader screen click RCK but say "unrecoverable bootloader error 0x00000000

Flash twrp with terminal
But not working. Tablet starting normally when i tried enter the recovery.

I got sent here, so I'll try again.
I'm a little confused now, because I can't understand what is happening to my tablet. Let me explain step by step what I did, maybe one of you can figure out what is wrong.
I was running CM11 M12 with TWRP 2.8.1.0 and wanted to try the new Android 5.1. I decided to go with the latest Omnirom and found out I needed at least TWRP 2.8.5.0.
So first step would be to update TWRP. When I got at the TWRP website I read that there was something new in TWRP 2.8.4.0, so I decided to first go from .1 to .4 and then go to the latest .7. An upgrade to .4 went fine through Fastboot. Then I thought I could try the new in GUI recovery flasher, but I didn't understand it properly so I chose to go safe and flash the .7 through Fastboot.
I guess that's where I went wrong. The tablet went to recovery just fine, but in TWRP it couldn't access anything anymore. "Unable to mount" on everything. Internal storage was 0. It didn't boot to the ROM anymore.
So after some tinkering, not really sure what I did anymore, I got my access to the FS again. I had the CM11 M12 ROM still in the MicroSD, so I ran the "install ROM procedure" for that one and it booted again.
Only now I don't seem to have a recovery anymore. I can get into Fastboot, but when I send the "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging twrp.blob" the tablet hangs itself. Holding power revives it and it boots to CM11M12 again. I tried to flash different TWRP versions (.4 .5 .6 and .7) but no sigar.
Does anyone have an idea how to get my recovery back?
Edit0: I tried to install the TWRP manager from the store and get a recovery from there, but the app doesn't work. It hangs when I try to tap on the "Recovery version to install" option.
Edit1: I followed the link in the post above and solved it. Next thing I did was flashing the .6 TWRP recovery and it stuck. Time to wrestle with some new roms! Thanks!
Edit2: Back to square one. The TWRP can't see anything in my internal storage. Is my storage memory going dry? "Unable to mount ###" shows up for every partition.
Edit3: And now it can see in my internal memory again... Hardware failure?
2.8.7.0 on tf300t reboot/shutdown does not work
hi, thanks for all your effort!
i just used fastboot to load 2.8.7.0 on a stock tf300t. it seems to work fine with one exception, when I choose reboot system or shutdown, but result in me booting back to twrp immediately. the only way i can shutdow/reboot is to hold the power key for 10s, then press it again to boot
everything else seems to work ok (flashing etc)....
any ideas whats going on?
thanks again

Hello
Can someone help me please?
For the moment i have TWRP 2.8.0.1 and i want to update it to 2.8.7.0.
First of all, i tried to update it with twrp manager.
So i open twrp manger
The install recovery screen opens and i choose for "Install Recovery".
Then i'm redirected to jmz software and then i got next screen:
Forbidden - you don't have permission to access /tf300t/ on this server.
What i'm i doing wrong?

My P5100 is acting strange. Short after booting it gives errors about gapps and other apps being stopped. Those messages keep popping up, so nothing else except rebooting/shutting down is possible.
Everything I try to change (in the short time before the errors pop up) is gone after a reboot.
I tried flashing several new roms with the recovery. They all where flashed succesfully according the recovery, but still after reboot the old omni rom is back.
I tried flashing stock roms with odin, they flashed succesfull according ODIN, but still, after a reboot the old omni rom is back
I tried flashing Andi's latest TWRP build with ODIN and my current recovery. ODIN and recovery said it was succesfull but after reboot there is still the old recovery.
So basically it seems this damn thing is insome kind of read-only mode......
Any idea howto fix this ?
This is what is currently installed on the tablet :
TWRP 2.8.7.2
omnirom 5.1.1-20151116-2332-p5100-HOMEMADE
kernel 3.0.101-Omni [email protected] #1

Find the 4 firmware files for tab 2 series, I tried but can't find working links anywhere. That may recover some cases of bricks and errors. I requested on other forums but, still found none available.
The emmc bug, has only one solution until now, replacement.
