Install the latest version through ODIN or download the img file and manually choose the recovery image you want to install in TWRP manager.
Get your latest version from here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/
Click on "Get TWRP for your device", enter your device model and download the odin flashable tar or the recovery img for twrp manager.
I personally use and prefer flashing with Odin.
Cheers

Hosed - could not leave well enough alone

Okay, folks. I need some help. I was not able to flash new Cyanogen ROM's so I tried updating my TF300T to the latest US firmware. Here are the results and where I stand now.
1. TWRP 2.5 is loaded in recovery.
2. Latest ASUS firmware is installed.
3. Lost root.
4. Tried to re-root and cannot. SuperSU fails every time I try to update the binary.
5. I wipe everything and can boot into recovery.
6. I tell TWRP to flash the latest ASUS firmware zip file.
7. Firmware flashes but then when I go to reboot in TWRP it says that no OS is available!!
8. I can swipe the lock and reboot into 4.2.1 but obviously no root.
9. I have tried flashing the signed superuser file and it flashes and says successful.
10. When I use root checker pro to see if I have root it tells me that I do not have root.
What in the hell is going on????????? Any help or outline of steps would be appreciated.

Bootloader info plz. Unless you were using the experimental CM10.1 build (or a select few others), it sounds like you tried to flash a ROM compatible only with an older bootloader onto the "latest" build (from your description).

Flash this from CWM

Or use Easyflasher in APX mode

What did TWRP do to my tablet?

I installed TWRP. It was supposed to be TWRP 2.8.6.0, but it is 2.8.5.0. Today, I just backed up my tablet with it. After using TWRP, my tablet boots up 6 times faster and the UI functions twice as fast as it did before. Overall, my tablet got better after running TWRP. So, what did it do? Also, I want to flash Lollipop. Can I do that with this version?
I don't know what twrp did to your tablet. If you want to flash a lollipop or a marshmallow rom however you should use this version of twrp : http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...overy-team-win-recovery-project-twrp-t3464050
And use one of theses rom :
lollipop : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/galaxy-tab-2-unified/rom-cyanogenmod-12-cm12-t2997934
Marshmallow (recommended) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/galaxy-tab-2-unified/rom-cyanogenmod-13-cm13-0-t3303798

twrp manage all general functions before the android system completely started. you can compare twrp with the bios system on your pc.
if you want install the latest roms, you should upgrade your twrp to the latest unofficial common version (3.0.2-6). you can find it here: http://andi34.github.io/recoveries_tab2.html

[Completed] How do I know the difference between TWRP and Odin TWRP?

Trying to download the latest odin version of TWRP for the Sprint N4 trltespr
upon using the search bar above I've found 2 different TWRP versions.. but can't determine the difference on these.
Is Odin TWRP only referred to as openrecovery or are they both the same. These were the latest options I found. But are they the latest and which one would I need to use for Sprint N4
https://dl.twrp.me/trltespr/twrp-3.0.2-0-trltespr.img.tar, https://dl.twrp.me/trltespr/twrp-3.0.2-0-trltespr.img.tar.html
or
