If you have done super CID already, then all you would need to do is run the RUU of your choice (WWE would do nicely), then re-flash the recovery, and then flash any ROM you want.

You will need to flash the stock recovery and then factory reset in bootloader but you will lose everything on the sd card then TWRP should work again and the best version of it is 2.2.2.0.

[Q] Flashing Pacman and Restore Problem

hi, i just tried to flash Pacman 4.4 Rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2670076 but it stopped at the animated "PACROMS loading" Screen (after flashing Rom, Gapps and rebooting).
I had Vipers 5.1 installed before. Restoring my nandroid backup it rebooted after Vipers loading Screen and stopped at the white HTC screen. :crying:
Installed new Vipers now and that worked but all my Settings are gone.
Should i try to restore my backup now again? and what could have been the Problem with the pacman Rom?
my Sensation xe is rooted, s-off, supercid and i used 4ext recovery
thanks in advance and sorry for mistakes. English is not my native language

I don't know if it helps in any way, but since cwm is kinda old (as far as I know) I'd say install latest 4ext recovery and try again.
Did you wipe everything before flashing pac?

got most things set up again now, had some titanium backups^^
dont want to ruin it again
found this in another thread

Jellybean firmwares use a partition called preload.....I'd say with certainty that cwm didn’t backup this partition.....you have to enable the option before you make the nandroid.....
Without the preload backup, any firmware restore will bootloop.....

could this be the reason for not restoring my backup?

It is so simple if you using 4EX.
Go to recovery>Go to tolls> at the end of page enable Smartfalsh.
Go to wipe> format data/catch and format system with out SD Card. now everything is ok.
Install new ROM and enjoy it

[Q] TWRP can't mount dalvik & data

Hi,
My mom has an Asus TF300T running JB 4.2.1. She tried to root and flash OmniROM by herself and borked it somehow. Unfortunately, she didn't do any backup...
She entered the fastboot screen and there she selected wipe. Then she flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-tf300tg-JB.blob using fastboot.
Now I am trying to help her rescue it.
It's operational, the OS loads up fine and she can use it, install apps etc.
I can get to the fastboot screen and from there to the TWRP no problem, but TWRP can't mount anything besides system.
No dalvik partition, no data partition, not even the SD or external SD.
Naturally, I can't flash another rom...
Tried executing "fix permissions" from the TWRP menu, it didn't help.
Downloaded the latest official Asus blob file TF300T-US_epad-10_6_1_27_5-UpdateLauncher.zip and flashed it using fastboot, hoping it will restore the missing partitions but it didn't make any difference.
Also tried CWM - same issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Sefi

You are flashing the wrong TWRP. Flash: openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-tf300tg-42.blob
Also If you are installing the KitKat OmniROM, you need TWRP 2.7+

Wow! I missed that completely!!
That actually sounds promising.
Yeah, I want to flash KitKat OmniROM, so does the TWRP2.7+ also have a 42 version like the 2.6.30 or just flash TWRP 2.7+ ?
Thanks for your reply!

Actually, looking in the TWRP site here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/tf300t, there is no 2.7 version..
So, I'm just making sure, I should flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-tf300t-4.2.blob and that should allow TWRP to mount the partitions, right?
What if I want to flash OmniROM KitKat (4.4)? Should I just flash 2.7 over openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-tf300t-4.2.blob?
Thanks,

This guide has all the links, just flash omnirom instead of cm. There's only a 42 version, so make sure your bootloader is stock V10.6.1.27.1 or V10.6.1.27.5 or V10.6.1.15.3 . upgrade your bootloader if you are on V10.6.1.8.

Thanks man! it worked!!!
I had to flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-tf300t-4.2 and after it, upgrade to TWRP-TF300T-2_7_0_1 for complete SELinux support, only then could I flash omni-4.4.2-20140416-tf300t-NIGHTLY.
You rock!

Accidentaly wiped /system

thus I don't have OS anymore, so I can't boot into download mode.
I have TWRP, I think the only thing I can do is just get stock .zip ROM. But I can't find it for my G930F, I downloaded some but they are all prepared for odin, not for recovery.
Could please anyone give me a download link for a flashable stock rom?
Or any other ideas?
Thanks

You had TWRP but didn't make a backup?
Technically it doesn't have to be a stock ROM, you could just flash a custom ROM and once you've got system back then you can flash back to stock with Odin.

So I do have LinkeageOS 16 installed now, but every restart, I can't mount /data in TWRP, I have to wipe it over and over. Why is that?
Another thing is that phone doesnt detect my SIM card (on stock recovery it did detect).

iirc that's something to do with encryption, but I've never experienced it so can't be sure.
Can you tried a stock Odin flash since installing Lineage?

Are you using the most recent TWRP?

I flashed newest stock ROM and updated twrp and everything seems to be working now
Weird, I didn't have to reflash LOS.
But yeah, I will write here if the problem still persists later.
