Did u try using fastboot to flash it? Also dont forget to extract the ROM from the downloaded zip file.
I did not realize the ROM .zip file was inside the .zip file...
Thank you installing now. After that I just have to flash an updated recovery and then install an custom ROM, correct. You've been a great help.
Now TWRP says Successful but it didn't take but a couple of minutes and the log says "E:Unable to mount '/staging'
I assume it failed for some reason.

Did you install the -42 TWRP since you are now on the 4.2 boootloader?
Ah I see. It did actually install the latest bootloader. I installed the latest TWRP but it seems that it can't see files from various partitions. I guess it can't mount them or something so I can't installed a custom ROM from my micro sd or anything. Any help for this problem?

Did you mount the correct partition in the settings of TWRP. Try unmounting and then remounting what you need.
Even the log on TWRP says it is unable to mount anything on startup. When I try to exit TWRP it says that I am not rooted and prompts me if it can root for me. Can I do it this way?
Anyone know anything about this?
Bump
I successfully rooted and achieved an unlocked bootloader with S-OFF on my Verizon HTC One M8 and also flashed TWRP 2.7.0.2. I downloaded a rom (without an SD card). I booted into recovery and i made a backup (not noticing that one of the lines read "unable to mount '/system". I then wiped and attempted to flash the rom only to find out that i can't find it in my file system. So i put the rom on an SD card and mounted it and tried to flash it, i get this message:
E: Unable to mount '/system'
E: Unable to open zip file.
Error Flashing zip '/external_sd/Roms?ViperOneM*_1.2.0.zip'
Updating partition details...
E: Unable to mount '/system'
So i'm stuck with a boot loader, an unmountable file system, and unable to flash a rom.
I've tried Fix permissions, I've tried mounting the "system" but all that mounts is 'cache' 'data' and 'micro SDcard'.
I hope my nerves are getting the best of me and i can't see something that's right in front of me!
Edit: Flashed CWM Recovery. Trying to install ROM from SD Card results in "Installation Aborted". When i try to side load it hangs at 81%.
Did you flash TWRP using terminal emulator mode as described on the official website for 2.7.0.2? If so you overwrote the system partition. Try flashing the recovery using the fastboot method as this will put the recovery in the right place. Then boot into the bootloader, choose recovery. I think this will get you TWRP in the recovery partition. Once there try flashing a ROM (although o would suggest something closer to stock like Skyfall).
I think what is happening is since the instructions for flashing TWRP via terminal emulator list the wrong partition, when you boot up to system it seems like you are booting to recovery because TWRP shows up. But you're actually on the system partition so when you try to flash a ROM you get an error because you can't mount the partition you're in.
I'm far from an expert in any of this so anyone who is please correct me.

I did flash TWRP as described. I used Terminal from my Macbook. I did some researching and i did try flashing using the fast boot method. I'm just so stumped!
First of all you aren't bricked. Have you tried using side load to flash the ROM? Try flashing another recovery too.

The above suggestion to try and Sideload the ROM install is a good idea. Basically, put the ROM zip file in your platform-tools folder of adb. Then boot to TWRP recovery, choose "sideload" and then issue the command "adb sideload [filename.zip]" (Instructions are found HERE.)
If that doesn't work, have you tried flashing Clockwork Recovery? You may have better luck with that in regards to mounts and/or flashing the ROM...
There's always USB OTG as well

I found THIS thread (for ASUS Transformer though).
What may have happened (if I'm reading the above thread correctly) is that your /system doesn't exist.
Taking a complete stab at a fix, you may be able to use fastboot to flash a working "system.img" file. (Anyone with more expertise, please confirm or refute this...)
EDIT: Found THIS post in the "Official" TWRP release 2.7.0.0 thread I wonder if perhaps this is what happened to you?

You might have to find a factory image, an RUU I am not sure if one exists but it will write the partitions. I think somehow your actual system partition was erased which is why it cannot be mounted. Pretty much, your only hope is an RUU or a zipped factory image.

no because it is not a flashable zip. Factory image or RUU means the bootloader will literally write the partition. Recovery will mount the partition and write information to it. It cannot create the partition itself which I think is your issue.
Assuming your recovery is fine..this is what I did to fix my self inflicted "soft brick" on Saturday...I mistakenly hit format system instead of just data and cache while trying to start over.
I am running cwm 6047..and for whatever reason the sideload failed with an error trying to sideload flash sky fall.
So I did an adb push skyfall.zip /sdcard/0 and was then able to flash the zip from internal storage.
Hope that helps with your situation.

Yep. You have a bad download. Download a new ROM on your computer...boot to recovery and do a adb sideload or push

Just had a thought... did you flash the insecure Kernel (found HERE) ever? You may not have a writeable /system?
Flash the Kernel, then reflash the official TWRP (both in Fastboot) and see if that works...

Kernel runs inside the rom and the system becomes writeable in the ROM so that won't do anything. I'm pretty convinced he is missing the partition.

Hi did you manage to sort this issue out as i'm having the same issue. it won't install backups or open zip files of the rom's. no matter what i do it won't flash the rom's. i've tried side loading on both cwm and TWRP - as i just said swapped from both recoveries. Managed to mount the sd card and put a new rom on it but won't flash from there and I've tried to move it to internal but fails.
I can't find my stock recovery an a nandroid back up either. Any help would be great

problems flashing TWRP 2.8.1
Hi. I have 2.3.2.3 version (the last version flashable using the app "TWRP manager") of TWRP recovery and I have to update to the version above to install Lollipop into my asus tf101. How can I flash this version 2.8.1.1 to my tablet? simply flashing it as .rar file with the recovery I still have (as a ROM)?
thank you!

I don't know where you downloaded the recovery. It is a .zip not a .rar.
And while reading the op you will notice the word flashable.
Just download the .zip to your device and flash it with your current recovery

I can't seem to get this recovery working. I'm flashing it from TWRP 2.3.2.3 on a tf101g but, although the it reports a successful flash and I observe the blue-green bar on the next boot, if I try to boot into the new recovery, it just hangs. I do see an error regarding being unable to mount /staging immediately after the flash mind. Given that this is where the blob is flashed to, is that indicative of problems and can anyone suggest how I might resolve them?
If not, I wondered what the *oldest* twrp it's possible to flash the latest KatKiss from is and where I might find it?

Did you also download the corresponding MD5 file to the same directory to verify you have a good download? A corrupt file might still flash but won't work necessarily. It should be recognizing your tf101g as such unless I missed something.

Hmmm. Interesting. I had downloaded the md5 file and had checked that it matched manually by running md5sum on the zip file and comparing the result to the contents of the md5 file. However, if I force md5 verification in twrp, it says that the two don't match and aborts the procedure. Redownloading provides me with the same version of the file each time, as checked with diff.
Another thought: could the blob itself be corrupted? Would you be able to supply an md5sum for the blob for to me compare against? Thanks!

The MD5 supplied is for the zipped package, before it left my machine. If you, move both files to ext sdcard, or wherever you intend to flash from, and double check that md5sum matches the MD5 inside the MD5 file, after they are both in final flash from directory. I could extract the package and do an md5sum on just the blob, but if it's corrupted that won't really help you. You could also extract the blob to internal /sdcard directory and flash with adb shell per the rescue instructions from the first post of the thread.

Install TWRP recovery
Hi,
I downloaded "signed_twrp-2.8.1.1_tf101.zip", but I don't understand how to install it.
When I use TWRP manager, I get a list of TWRP version up to 2.3 only.
When I try to use adb & fastboot command tools, it seems I cannot enable fastboot on the TF101 : Running "adb reboot bootloader" actually restarts the device in the normal mode.
Can you please help me with this? How can I install TWPR 2.8?
Thanks!

To those guys who were having issues getting twrp 2.8.1 on their tf101, I was having same problem. Here is how I got it to work.
1. Download all the 5.1 Roms, Gapps, SuperSu onto your SD Card
2.Download the tf101 TWRP 2.8.1 onto your SD Card.
3. Use Easy Flasher Unbrick/Flash Stock and Boot into Android. Shut down.
4. Use Easy Flasher to load the older version of TWRP that works.
5. Boot into Android, shutdown at the start screen again.
6. Boot into Recovery, and flash the latest TWRP 2.8.1
7. Make sure your tablet is disconnected from USB, and reboot into Android, it should say optimizing App 1 of 1.
8. After you're in the start screen, reboot again into recovery. It should now be 2.8.1.
9. Install the 5.1 Rom off your SD.

TWRP 2.8.5.0 Won't Boot
I just installed TWRP 2.8.5.0 on my TF700T via the fastboot method (since TWRP Manager fails to install it). However, when I attempt to boot the recovery, the device locks up. This is different behavior than 2.8.4.0, which had a kernel panic and rebooted the device. Any idea how to go about debugging, or should I simply try older recoveries / wait until a newer one comes out?

Naturally, the dd method is the one method I didn't try. So I just did, and it works now. I did have to perform a normal reboot to complete the installation (as opposed to rebooting directly into recovery), but the instructions mentioned that (although they didn't specify that the reboot needed to be a normal one). So all is well now, and I can move on to installing ZOMBi-Pop, my main goal all along.
Makes me wonder why TWRP and fastboot failed, but oh well.

I can believe that for fastboot, but TWRP Manager claimed that the flashing failed. On my OnePlus One, TWRP Manager flashed the recovery just fine. Is the claimed failure just a caveat of flashing on the TF700T, and the new recovery will actually work despite it if you perform a system reboot afterwards? I think I'll try that next when the next version comes out, just to see.

It was Philz cwm (freaked out)

Where to get TWRP 2.8.6.0 for TF700T
Does anyone know where a TWRP 2.8.6.0 .img for the TF700T can be found? It's not available on the official website (actually, NOTHING for the TF700T is available on the offcial website).
Alternatively, does anyone know where a patched version of 2.8.50 that supports f2fs can be found? Or should I revert to 2.8.4.0?
Eh, maybe I'll just build 2.8.6.0 myself. How hard can it be?
Slightly harder than finding the Kang TWRP 2.8.6 by lj in the dev section I would think....

You can extract from RUU the system.img with RUU decrypt tool from there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-a9/development/decrypt-ruu-ruu-decryption-script-htc-t3282562

That thread said you need linux, I have a Surface Pro and can't dual boot, so not sure how to run a linux distro? I have made some progress, I was able to pull rom.zip from an RUU and rename that to 2PQ9IMG.zip and put it on the root of my sdcard. When I rebooted into download mode much to my surprise the RUU ran and was successful. So I reinstalled twrp, but it STILL will not let me wipe data to remove encryption. My /data is unmountable, and every time I try to do a wipe in twrp it returns the error "unable to mount storage". Twrp is also still giving me the "No OS Installed" message when I go to reboot. Is there another way to remove encryption without using linux? Or a way I can setup linux on my Surface? I just need to get root so I can s-off...

Boot patcher failed, like just about everything I try, and returned with an "unable to mount storage" error. I'm stumped. I think it's weird that an official RUU fails with "os-version in Android-file is missing or invalid" error but rom.zip pulled from an official RUU goes through just fine.
If want get root , device boot into twrp "Wipe/Format Data" then back to "Reboot/recovery" install root.zip.
Sorry my bad english!!

There was a bug in twrp 3.0.0. The last release is: Current Stable Version: 3.0.0-1
Install the last release and then try in twrp :Wipe/Format Data. Hope it will work for you...
