Ive managed to htc-dev bootloader unlock and root but when it comes to install roms I have question
Do have to have a certain firmware to install some roms?
Am on kernel 3.4 and Hboot 2.15 tmob 3.1453117710rd
I flashed viper rom with no hitch but when i tried any other rom I end up freezing at the logo screen for the rom,ie freezes at carbon loading screen for carbon, even after I re flash both the rom and the boot,img for it
I am currently s-on
My second question is there any way to trouble shoot adb? I keep trying to push files via adb and keep getting adb cannot find such file or directory, I installed ADB according to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879701
I run the cmd prompt from desktop and commands like adb-reboot work fine
But when i attempt to push i get the cant find file error
what recovery are you using? what version of twrp?
twrp 2.3.3
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/ville/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-ville.img
recovery is twrp 2.1.6
Should I update to the new recovery?

yes, people have a lot of luck with this version of TWRP
Yea flashing to newest trwp did it for me
New to me tablet and I'm new to rooting/etc.
Factory tablet on 4.1.1, build 10.4.2.20-20121228
I downloaded and ran the Asus unlock utility, then ran motochopper to root. I then loaded TWRP 2.2.2.0 (I realized the mistake later). Made stock backup using twrp ok. Wiped cache/dalvik/etc and tried to recover to CM.10.0.0. Boots to cyanogenmod logo and just sits and spins. I can reboot back into recovery and restore from backup ok.
I realize now that I've loaded an early version of twrp, would that affect the cm bootup? If so, how do I upgrade twrp? Or should I try CM10.1 exp using twrp 2.2.2.0?

I can see you are on the 4.1 BL. I would suggest upgrading to the 4.2 bootloader and the using the most recent versions of TWRP and CM. You would do that by flashing the stock 4.2 Asus firmware, then the latest TWRP from their website with -42 and then the latest cyanogen mod ROM which is compatible with that bootloader.

First off, thank you for the assistance. Here are the steps I believe I should take. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
1. Download and install latest 4.2 bootloader from Asus= US_epad-10.6.1.27.5
2. Would I need to download and install the unlocker from Asus? = Unlock_v8 for 4.2JB
3. Download and install TWRP for 4.2= TWRP 2.6.3.0-tf300t-4.2 blob
4. Then I should be able to run any of the CM 10.0.0 and up on the 4.2 bootloader, right?

Lots of ppl are having problems with the V8 unlocker. Since you are already on 4.1, you could just unlock now with the V7 tool.
1. Unlock with V7 tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949758)
2. Flash Latest Asus Stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949758)
3. Download and install TWRP for 4.2= TWRP 2.6.3.0-tf300t-4.2 blob (http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf300t/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-tf300t-4.2.blob)
4. Flash Latest CM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2413878)
Personally, I would also make NvFlash Backups so you can restore your tablet just in case anything bad happens. Link is in my sig

1. Unlock with V7 tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949758) Why would I use this now? Shouldn't I already be unlocked?
2. Flash Latest Asus Stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949758)Will this put a locked or unlocked version on the tablet?
3. Download and install TWRP for 4.2= TWRP 2.6.3.0-tf300t-4.2 blob (http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf300t/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-tf300t-4.2.blob)

Thanks again, and I appreciate your patience.

Ok, been reading until my eyes are bleeding.
From what I've read, Motochopper doesn't work for 10.6.1.27.x versions, so I would have to load 10.6.1.15.3. I should be able to download it and unzip it the first time on my pc. Then transfer it to the root directory of the tablet and run TWRP to install the .zip file. This would overwrite everything and bring it up to 4.2. I would then run the unlocker_v8 and install twrp for 4.2 using adb. If all that works, I should be rooted and unlocked and allowed to install CM 10 and above.
Please, anyone, check me on this. And thanks for the help.

Oh sorry, I thought you meant that it had failed to unlock and flash.
Flashing a stock ROM will not relock your bootloader. Asus doesn't want people relocking their bootloader .
I'm not sure why you are using motochopper if you are going to install a custom ROM anyways. Almost all custom ROMs have the SU binaries in them.
Once you have unlocked your tablet, you will never need to run another unlocker, so dont worry about v8. The NvFlash backups need you to be on the 10.6.x.x bootloader, so you would flash the stock ROM then do the nvflash procedure.

Just so I'm clear, I should be able to flash the stock rom w/ the TWRP I have now, using the install command for the zip file, right?

I'm not sure if you can flash the stock from the TWRP, to be safe I'd fastboot it from a computer. Once you flash the stock, it will upgrade the bootloader and erase TWRP. You would use the install command.
Success so far! I got it updated to 4.2.1 /10.6.1.27.5 using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35294881&postcount=1.
I have a gs3 and I tried to update twrp through twrp manager, but for some reason it downloads 2.3.1 version. I currently had 2.6.3 version. I also downloaded the version of busybox it recommended, but I still get older version. can anyone help? thanks.

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

Reflash SuperSU using the flashable zip
Hello all! I recently updated my Spring Note5 to Marshmallow! I quickly installed the Aurora Kernel to root it and got xposed installed via FlashFire. I was just curious as to if there was a Custom Recovery for marshmallow yet? I tried the latest TWRP and got stuck in a bootloop (soft brick). I was able to recover it luckily. Is there a working custom recovery yet? Thank you!
Here is the TWRP link for the Note 5 running marshmallow https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995314665

Twrp is working but I got stuck in a bootloader trying to flash the twrp update with flashfire Odin is best way I had to use Odin to recover out of the bootloop
The file that I posted you don't need to use Odin or flashfire just install the Zip file then you can boot the cell into TWRP
