Ok, so I'm just looking for final confirmation before I install my TWRP2710-RAZR-HD_M-KITKAT image...going to just fastboot flash it on there using the files in my Motopocalypse folder, but do I need to rename some file in the system folder or something before I do this? Seems like I had to do that in the JB era and I can't find much for the KK version. Noob question I know. Do I just put my phone in fastboot mode and flash away or is there a step prior to that? Thanks in advance.
Just follow the directions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2776515

Not sure why you think you have to rename something to flash a new recovery. Yeah, maybe the instructions had you rename the recovery image file or something, but no. Just flash it per the instructions the previous poster linked to. It's really that simple.
Good luck!

The only thing about Flashify that I don't like is you need to be already rooted.
Otherwise, if you're not rooted, then you can't root until you put on a custom recovery, which means you need to use fastboot to flash CWM or TWRP and then sideload root. Then you'd be able to flash TWRP or CWM. Kind of the chicken and the egg conundrum.
Everyone should know how to do it via fastboot because you may not have root to install TWRP or any other custom recovery. It's always good to know how to do things from the command line because there may come a time when you have no other option.
running official kk on xt926 here.
can i install official cm11 nightlys after flash 2.7 twrp ?
I believe they can only be installed when they update them with the new kitkat bootloader. There are some builds by dhacker29 that I have tried that worked but are in progress. You would need to reflash back to JB bootloader to use the official CM11 nightlies.

i think it is because back in the day, correct me if im wrong, you had to rename the old recovery file so it wouldnt re-install.
but now that development has progressed, that is no longer necessary.
thats why all the, do i need to rename questions are arising.

Check the device firmware type by going to Setting - about tablet - built number
Download the right firmware pack for your device.
http://www.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_Infinity_TF700T/#download
Now extract the zip file and you will have another zip file.
Rename that zip file as "EP201_768_SDUPDATE" and place it to an external sd card if you do not have a custom recovery. If you are rooted and unlocked plus you have a custom recovery you don't need to rename it you can place it in internal sd is well.
Now turn off your device. Hold power button including the volume down button and enter custom recovery. For stock recovery it should detect it automatically and will install. once in custom recovery clear your cache and install the file with the name above or whatever name you have. once installation is complete. reboot the system be patient and you have the latest update.
You can obtain root easily using this method.
Just download the DebugfsRoot_Generic_v2.3.zip file from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1706588
extract the content and run RootDebugfs, then follow the on screen instruction and you will have root.
Make sure you have USB debugging on.
To get custom recovery. Download goomanager from playstore and you can install TWRP recovery from the option list. which is Option - install OpenRecoveryScript.
I am not responsible if you mess up your device. do these at your own risk. Nonetheless these steps work perfectly for me.
Renaming is not needed.

Where in there? Can;t find it?
1) If I am on a custom ROM can I flash the new update or I have to go back to STOCK first?
2) What's the big deal with loosing CWR and Root, it takes like 2 min to put it back, I mean there is another way to not loose it?

You don't need to have stock rom. As long as you have the stock kernel your ok. You will of course lose custom recovery but its easy to download again as i have mentioned in my first post.
There is a lengthy way to do this. But why do that when it takes you literally 2 minute to root it with DebugfsRoot .
Hope it went well for you.

Its easy, it requires ADB drivers instaled in PC and ADB commands to execute.
So, in TWRP you make a full WIPE, format data also.
Then you reboot recovery and over advanced you activate adb sideload.
Then connect phone to PC and send the zip file with command:
adb sideload name_of_the_rom.zip
Then just wait ADB send file to phone and then Recovery start flash of ROM .

With TWRP it works, i tested, other Recovery i dont know if they have sideload option.
Relative to OTA yes, with stock recovery you can have OTA. But i dont have stock recovery from this one since dump dont contain firmware.zip
Dont know if firmware.zip from 2.24.709.1 it will do the trick, but sincerelly i dont wait from OTA updates, its a loss of time

Another thing, you must unlock bootloader to flash TWRP.
If needed you can have S-OFF and flash latest RUU x.xx.401.x and you are good to GO.
Cheers
Would this work with T-Mobile/AT&T versions?
Also sideloading doesn't touch the "sdcard" content right. We would just need to do a factory reset.

According to your bootloader details you are at a good starting point. Here is what I recommend you do from here:
1. Download a custom recovery like TWRP:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2558503
2. flash this in bootloader mode. If you don't know how here is the help thread you need to read through:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593382
3. Once you have a custom recovery installed, you can flash SuperSu or other root app (google is your friend.)
4. Stick with the rooted rom you have or flash another of your choosing.

Just download from http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/evita

Easy peasy. Too many links is an error that should have nothing to do with flashing recovery...

Hey there!
I have a problem: The USB-Port of my Nexus 5 doesn't work anymore. To be sure that I have full warranty I wanted to reset it to fully stock.
lastely I flashed:
Stock Android 5.0 (LRX210)
CWM Recovery (v. 6.0.4.5)
xposed framework
bootloader (HHZ12d) is open
rooted
I made a factory reset to check if this would fix my USB-Port but it did not help.
Since I cannot use the USB connection it's not so easy to get back to stock.
In the internet I only found solutions with adb and fastboot via USB.
Is it possible to flash the stock recovery with CWM?
I thought about locking the bootloader with the app 'Bootunlocker'.
In the moment I feel like i am on a one-way road that's why I wanted to ask before I lock/flash/unroot something which I need for a later step and cannot recover without USB access..
I want to thank you here in advance and sorry for language mistakes (i am not a native speaker)
efrant explained all the steps on the N4 forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34749844&postcount=2
Once again this guide is for NEXUS 4 so do not flash the mentioned files!
Here is a plan i came up with after searching on the web:
Flashing a Stock Rom with CWM to uninstall Xposed framework completly.
Root via CWM.
Locking the bootloader with 'Bootunlocker'.
Using the 'Untamper' button in 'Bootunlocker'.
Using 'Flashify' to flash the stock recovery.
Unroot completely in 'SuperSU'.
Are all steps possible in this order?? Or did I make a mistake in my plan?

No! Do not flash files from Nexus 4 forum. You have a Nexus 5 so only flash files for this specific device otherwise you'll brick it.
Here's a thread maintained by vomer for stock flashables: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/rom-n5-l-developer-preview-t2796003
Check other threads to find flashable zips for the boot.img and recovery.img. Or you can flash the stock boot.img (only) with Flashify app.
No prob to keep CWM during the process even if using TWRP would be safer.

Hello, I'm a noob at this so please be kind. I followed the below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tra...inners-guide-unlock-custom-rom-tf300-t3061648
I successfully:
Unlocked my TF300T's Bootloader
Installed custom recovery using fastboot
Rooted my tablet
Debloated the Tablet (Titanium Backup)
Backup up my current (OEM) SYSTEM ROM to microSD
So now I'm onto attempting a custom ROM. I'm a bit bored with 4.2.1 and would like to go to the same version of ROM my Note 7 has which is 6.0.1 Marshmallow or even try the new 7.0 Nougat.
I'm a little confused as to what ROM will or will not work. I see a few ROMS worth trying, but there install instructions reference a different Bootloader multiple flashes such as SuperSU or gapps.
Whats the best fool proof method to flash a new ROM with what I have and are there any simple one file ROM/ZIP/ Blob etc.. file that would do what I want?
Thank you.

So now I'm onto attempting a custom ROM. I'm a bit bored with 4.2.1 and would like to go to the same version of ROM my Note 7 has which is 6.0.1 Marshmallow or even try the new 7.0 Nougat.
I'm a little confused as to what ROM will or will not work. I see a few ROMS worth trying, but there install instructions reference a different Bootloader multiple flashes such as SuperSU or gapps.
Whats the best fool proof method to flash a new ROM with what I have and are there any simple one file ROM/ZIP/ Blob etc.. file that would do what I want?
Thank you.

Congratulations! Everything you did looks fine. So you are ready to install a custom rom. I would like to suggest one of the best: http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/development/rom-t3453702 (You may follow up the tread and report there!)
Please take care very exactly on the installation instruction in post #1 given by Timduru. And don't forget that you need Kang TWRP [email protected] Download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/development/recovery-twrp-t3046479. That's mandatory!
Good luck!

Thanks. As simple as the process was, as a noob (first time attempting this) I was really concerned about screwing this up and bricking my tablet.
The one you linked to was one of the ones I was considering and hence my question regarding what works with what I have already done. The noob mind (mine anyways) finds a dozen questions at every turn. In this case I would ask the following:
Q-Do I have to use Kang TWRP?
Q-How is it different than the TWRP I used on my Tablet?
Q-Will I need to constantly change TWRP versions depending on what ROM I want to use?
Q-Is there a danger to switching TWRPs?
Q-Doesn't flashing SuperSU after I flash Gapps overright and erase SuperSU or is there some unique way to flash (push?) both at the same time?
Q-Many more I'm sure!
To the noob, almost all the instructions I read appear to be written for someone who as done this many times. The level of detail needed for the novice is just not there or lost between the jargon used, with many steps not fleshed out because the author assumes a certain level of expertise.
I will definitely read these threads as best I can, but in the interim, is there any ROM that are known to be able to be flashed via the TWRP I currently have? The author of the version I used certainly made it seem like it was that simple, load the ROM/ zip file onto the MicroSD card and when in Custom recovery simply use the INSTALL feature to navigate to the file and press a button to flash and ..."BAM!!" you are running a new ROM.

That version of KANG appears to be dead, as the thread has been closed and abondoned by the OP. So no new questions or help there....
Can I install that version over the top of my current version of TWRP the same way I did the first time? (change file to TWRP.blob etc.)

Please don't brick your tablet. First download Kang TWRP. It isn't dead. Try this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347781183.

Yes you can.
However Kang TWRP is a xxx.img file. You also can use your current TWRP and flash the image file. Attached you will find an image and a zip version.

Sorry, bad choice of words on my part. By dead I meant that the thread was closed and I'm concerned getting answers would be harder as the OP was no longer actively looking there for questions.

Ok, so if I read your comment correctly, I can copy the .img file to an SD card, boot into recovery and flash it from there OR I can fire up fastboot and the same steps I originally did to install custom recovery from my PC to accomplish the same thing... either way I should still have custom recovery, but with the KANG version. Right?
THANKS TO BOTH OF YOU FOR RESPONDING TO MY PREVIOUS POST. I appreciate the support.
Oh no....
Well crap. I put the .img file on my SD card and boot the tablet into recovery, I flashed the .img file to the rovery not boot partition. All appeared well....but when I go back to see if I have KANG recovery, it hangs anbd says Booting Failure Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x000000000)
EDIT: After I cleaned my pants, I used abd and fastboot to flash the original Blob file using my PC. This restored the custom recovery. I was freaking out for a few minutes.
I didn't change the file name of the kang .img file. Should I have done something different?
EDIT: Successful recovery to Kang2.8.7.2 !! :good::good: I used adb and my PC to send the .img file (renamed "twrpkang.img" for simplicity) and it worked great. I'm a pro..:silly:

Bad luck! Could you please describe what does it mean? : "I flashed the .img file to the rovery not boot partition."

Not sure what I did wrong. I tried to do it within the old recovery menu and it hosed it. It found the file and mounted it successfully, but it seemed weird to be within the partition I was overwriting and writing to it. Kind of like you cant install windows while your using Windows...
The new version is much smoother.... Thanks, not to learn about this gapps super SU and how to flash all of these and in what order along with the ROM..as well as this wipe vs format thing...so confusing...
