It will only work on UNLOCKED devices
It requires access to Fastboot to prepare device first time
It won’t work on fully bricked devices (See 2.)
You need to keep files safe!
If you upgraded to Offiical JB it *won’t* work!
i'm not have fastboot and i'm on Official JB
i have try to enter on APX mode but i can't

did you try to install the asus pc sync (it shoul install the driver for use adb & fastboot) and after boot into recovery
from prompt you should be able to use adb
write adb devices
and if you can see the code of the devices may you can still have a possibility to flash troght adb

ok man i understand the problem today
i have flashed the last TeamWin Recovery but not compatible with 4.2.1 but 4.1 stock rom and now all partition can't be mounted in recovery, i have found adb in broken recovery and push recovery img for flash with dd command and all done in shell but nothing flashed !! then "adb reboot bootloader" for try to reflash with fastboot, same story all done in shell but nothing flashed !! ok no problem i try to boot android in boot menu and damn partition is ok and android booting !!!!!!! :laugh:
ok remain 2 way. use dd in terminal emulator but can't without root permission and use nvflash but it's not work with JB confirm ?
waiting for a tool using an exploit for root from internal android and try dd or next update for nvflash.
any idea ? and sorry for my very bad english

and what do you think about ?

if you can boot the system may you can verify again the bootloader whit asus tool from the website maybe for any unsense reason it's locked....

ops wrong tread

Ok, I just tried some stuff and:
1. I can also access fastboot and OS.
2. Trying to flash modified TWRP with fastboot freezes bootloader.
3. In-system can't open .RAR files.
4. After manually transfering unpacked V8 unlocker from PC it says there's an "unknown problem" when trying to install unlocker. It supposedly upgraded from V7 to V8 app without problem.
In bootloader it says at the top of the screen that "Key driver not found... Booting OS". After that it lists bootloader info ( v. 1.00 e ).
Looks like recovery's bricked with some further issues in the OS itself.
EDIT:
Bricked the OS. Tried reflashing stock system and now bootloader freezes when trying to boot OS. My guess would be that fastboot can still erase stuff but most likely can't write ( at least not properly ). Google/Asus probably know of a way to restore our tablets but Asus clearly prefers to replace motherboards.
I have to think whether it's worth it for me to replace the MB but most likely will just sell the thing for parts.

whan you try to re-flash the system somthing goes in the wrong way? do you still have fastbooy access? was the usb debug on?
sorry but which rar you can't open?

[Q] Nexus 5, internal storage 0Mb

Hi everyone,
I am French and I use a translator to talk to you, sorry for language mistakes.
I just ask for your help because at last my nexus one days is blocked.
When I go into TWRP he asks me a passeword and my internal memory shows 0MB
Unable to flash a rom stock, steps go well but it does not change anything in the nexus.
Unable to update bootloader, the old version back
I focused in fastboot and recovery (TWRP)
Do you have a solution?
Thanking you in advance

Sounds like uv messed up the partitions. unsure if theres a fix on this

Try
fastboot flash cache cache.img
Where cache.img is from the factory image

Try to flash this in fastboot, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. Where recovery.img is the file below. If it installs, wipe cache within it
http://d-h.st/nbu. It's 2.6.3.4

This very same thing happened to me this morning, and a friends Nexus 5 the other day. Not sure why but the fact that you are the third I have seen in the last few days is making me believe it's a common issue. It happened to me, I watched a movie, fell asleep, and woke up to "Type password to decrypt storage" message, and the same message you have in Recovery as well. To my knowledge, I never set a password, let alone while I slept.
What happened is somehow the "userdata" partition on the phone got corrupt. When this happens, for some reason it thinks the partition was encrypted. You can attempt to fix it with a repair utility, or
Go to the bootloader (Hold Volume Down and Power when turning the phone on) then install and use adb and type this
Code:
adb e2fsck /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata
Or from recovery, run a command and and run
Code:
e2fsck /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata
See if that works. If it does, your data will be fine. I did not find this fix until after I tried a full reset but it worked for my friend.
If that does not work, you will have to factory reset your phone. You will lose all data on the phone. Hopefully you have a backup. This worked for me.

I see you mentioned you tried this, however you may want to try it again, and follow those steps, make sure to go to the Nexus 5's factory recovery after and "Reset to Factory". Likewise it needs to be run from bootloader, not recovery. And you must have unlocked bootloader.
**EDIT** What firmware were you running? CyanogenMod?

Why don't you try Clock work mod recovery. Sounds like twrp isn't meshing well with you device. I had issues with all the way to lastest version.Maybe CWM might help.

when I flash a custom-recovery (stock or cwn) TWRP 2.6.3.2 always returns

I had this same issue.
I went into fastboot and erased recovery and userdata, then ran the flashall.bat in the factory image.
TWRP had a Password. It happened after I tried to flash Cataclysm and it bootlooped (Forgot to check MD5's, not sure why a corrupt download flashed).

Can you format data in 2.6.3.2? I'm thinking you have a bigger problem as you've already tried to flash the factory image and it did not work.

[Q] Help - Rooting gone wrong

So I wiped again but really careless and made mistake no. 3: wiping the whole thing instead of just a few partitions like system, cache,....
So now I have my device S-On, theres really nothing on it exept TWRP but there (and in other recoverys I tried) the USB mout doesnt work so I cant get a new rom on it So I tried to push it through fastboot but I cant find a fitting command.
Any advice what I can do to either get the USB work in the recoverys or push it through fastboot and which rom works without S-Off?

TWRP has ADB Sideload feature. Means you can flash zips using adb. Of course you can flash a roms this but keep in mind you have to flash the kernel (boot.img) manually immediately after flashing the rom.zip. When flashed Rom.zip by using ADB sideload method make SURE that you direct go into fastboot mode and flash the kernel (fastboot flash boot boot.img) (you can extract the boot.img from your rom.zip)
May be a compatible rom this time? But you're lucky -> Infact you already deleted everything you won't have to perform a wipe before flashing lol

Ok, but I dont know with which command (fastboot flash what? or adb?)

You can use adb sideload as followed:
Start TWRP -> advanced -> ADB sideload + swipe to activate it. Connect your phone to the computer. Open "CMD Commandline" and type "adb sideload ROMNAME.zip"
Of course "ROMNAME" has to match the zip you want to flash. Thats it
In twrp go to "REBOOT" -> "fastboot"
When fastboot usb is ready use CMD commandline again and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Then you can boot android

I whished I could. As I start ADB sideload it keeps doing nothing at all until I abort it. What I think is important to know is that it is then:
"E:Unable to mout '/internal_sd'
E:Unable to mount storage.", which I think is the problem.

Flash Stock recovery And perform "factory Reset + clear storage" that will fix your storage. Then flash twrp Version 2.7 again and do what I suggested to flash the Rom
Sent from my beloved HTC One S using (most time buggy) Tapatalk

Did the exact thing which removes the mounting error, but this has no effect on the sideload (or usb mount). Still not working.

Can you acces your sdcard by twrp? Lot of poeple here has sd card bug yet and it was fixed everytime.
You're facing sdcard bug.
This is how to solve:
1. Flash stock recovery
2. reboot to bootloader and perform "factory reset + clear storage" (While in bootloader NOT in recovery)
3. Flash custom recovery again
4. Reboot recovery - mount usb storage - copy ROM.zip to sdcard // adb sideload rom
7. NOW boot android (Not at any time before! Even there is no system installed)
Please just repeat it.

You didn't use 'Wipe Data' from the bootloader, did you?
Read the OP for CROMBI-KK, compare it to what you did.
Describe in detail what that was.
"Does not work" is not very helpful...
Check if you can get into fastboot.

Well,
I can go to Twrp recovery and fastboot
I did install the rom with everything present I think.. had to select some things and finish the installing
after that I had to reboot and now i just get the image with the penguins.
Can I somehow go back to the original rom? to restart these things?

If you made a nandroid before flashing this, then yes, you should be able to restore it.
But let's take it from the beginning. Post your bootloader, recovery and rom versions.
As long as you have access to fastboot you can fix this, so don't do anything hasty.
And please be as specific as you can about what you did. We can only help you if we find out where you went wrong.

are there specific bootloader? I was on JB 4.2.1
I am now on twrp v2.6.3.2 but I was while I did the flashing on twrp v2.6.1
hm I did flash crombi-kk rom from the OP
maybe I did some wipe before in twrp .. i think it was recommended?
so now I can't do any reflash or anything in twrp - everytime I want to do something there is this error:
E: Unable to open '/cache/recovery/.version'
I also can't get access to my external SD

Check if you can get into fastbot.

All right, your bootloader is current.
I would recommend that you flash TWRP 2.7 in fastboot, then boot into it, do a Factory Wipe in TWRP (that can take upwards of 60 minutes) and flash the rom again.

Ok.. I tried but I got the answer
failed (data transfer failure (too many links))
hm I think I've got no connection, right?
well and now I get the message:
FAILED ( command write failed( invalid argument))

What do you get with 'fastboot devices'?

Alright, everything good so far.
Now download the TWRP 2.7 blob for the tf700 and put it into the same folder as your fastboot.exe.
Then issue this command:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
if that is successful
Code:
fastboot reboot
Then boot into TWRP via the fastboot menu.
Then you can factory wipe and flash the rom

If you want to try that, go to the Wipe menu in TWRP, then to Advanced and choose "format data".
In TWRP this can take 90 minutes! D not interrupt it and make sure the tablet is charged or connected to power.
But this will erase your entire data.
The recovery has it's own partition which you can erase in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
.
Then flash the new recovery. You could also try TWRP 2.6.3.2 if 2.7 doesn't work.

is it possible to formate my complete data, because I think therein lies the problem, exept fastboot on my device and flash a recovery from fastboot?

Your posted image indicates that simulation mode is active in TWRP - turn if off in TWRP settings.
To format data, it's approximately this: Wipe -> Advanced -> Format -> Data -> confirm
Note that it takes up to 2 hours to format and trim the eMMC.

...which is usually a stupid idea if you don't know exactly what you are doing.

Well I don't know how but it suddenly worked.. i could reinstall the rom but now it seems i am stuck in a bootloop between the picture of the four penguins and a bootscreen of crombi-kk with loading tiles under it
between these two the tablet is rebooting itself constantly

Go back to recovery and do a wipe only Calvin cache and Cache.

[Q] Which partition to format to remove CWM ?

Hey,
I have been given Motorola Xoom and when I'm booting into recover it has got broken or wrong CWM. Tablet goes in the loop and I see that CWM Droid with exclamation and parts and pieces coming out of his stomach
I know that partition with CWM can be formatted from ADB, but i haven't done it for long time and never on tablet.
Could someone tell me / confirm which partition installed CWM sits on ?
Also, what's the chance that something will go wrong and I won't be able to flash new CWM ?

If you can boot into Android (and you have root access), you can use Flashify.
Otherwise you can use "fastboot flash recovery you_recovery.img".

I don't have root. I also cannot flash recovery because CWM sit's there and is broken

fastboot will overwrite you broken CWM
1) reboot in bootloader (command : adb reboot bootloader)
2) fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
You can find TWRP image here :

I don't think I can flash recover over existing recovery. This will most likely lead to soft brick...
Before flashing twrp.img I need to format the partition where CWM sits currently.
- Do you know which partition is it and how to do it ?

Without root you won't be able to issue a mkfs command (as far as I know).
You can use :
fastboot format recovery
and/or
fastboot erase recovery

Sounds good. So, just to confirm
- I need to first clear the recovery partition with commands you wrote above
- Flash new recovery from the link you submitted in the post above
- Flash selected ROM from the SD card using new recovery
Does it all sound fine ?

Correct.
Choose carrefully you recovery image (BigPart or non-BigPart) depending on the ROM you wish to install.

Thanks!
Just quick question : what is the BigPart or non-BigPart ?
Googling that doesn't produce any sensible results
