[Q] Cant flash recovery via fastboot after upgrade - Asus Transformer TF700

Upgraded my bootloader to 10.6.1.14.10 with WW_epaduser10_6_1_14_10_UpdateLauncher thru TWRP recovery. I was running CROMi-X_ODEX_5.4_Signed and now I cant flash the TWRP recovery again or any recovery, Fastboot keeps saying cannot open TWRP.blob and my device is still unlocked. I tried to unlock again using the Asus unlock tool but it just gives me an error. So now I cant flash any recovery and I also tried to just install Su with Mototchopper but it wont install the binary for Su. I attached a copy of my log cat if thats any help

What command are you using to flash recovery and what is the error you are getting?

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging twrp.img
and fastbboot says Error: cannot open twrp.blob
The error from the unlock app v7 says there maybe a connection error please try again later

If you are/were running cromi-x then you are unlocked. You cannot relock so no use in trying to keep unlocking it
Use this command - make sure that the twrp.img is in the same folder as fastboot.
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot-bootloader

Help with Fastboot

Basically, my xoom has been rooted and currently I have CynogenMod9 RC0 Wingray currently installed.
I wanted to install a new rom but I couldn't do this using CWM Recovery as the SD Card doesn't Mount. Upon doing some reading I found I need to install the Rogue (or EOS) Recovery image. This is where my problems begin as I can connect to the device when the xoom is fully booted in the CM9 and connected via debugging mode(running adb devices returns a sequence of numbers ).
But then when I reboot into the bootloader it gets stuck on "Starting Fastboot protocol support." and i can't connect via adb!!!
I believe this started happening after I unlocked the bootloader but i can't be 100% sure (fastboot oemunlock)
Please help!!!
When it is on fastboot mode you can only use fastboot commands (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) that is how you would install the recovery image from rogue or EOS or TWRP, whichever you choose.
Or to make it easier, you can boot your tablet, install GOO Manager. When you open the GOO manager, tap the setting in the top right corner and choose Install Open Recovery script and let it install TWRP. Then boot to recovery.

You specifically said it says starting fastboot protocol. That's as far as it goes. You then issue fastboot commands, not adb commands

Ohh ok, makes sense. I will give it a try later when i'm home. Is there a Fastboot command i can use to check the device is connected??

Not familiar with nv tools.. its better to use adb Instead

tablet only boots into twrp

My TF300T will only boot into TWRP. I also can't access any storage (failed to mount error) and adb sideloading fails everytime so I can't flash the stock rom. I tried using these commands:
adb shell mount -t tmpfs none /sdcard
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard
Which let me reach the .zip file it still failed to flash.
The tablet had Jellybean 4.2.2 installed. The TWRP version is 2.6.3.0.
How do I fix this?
Reboot it into bootloader menu. If holding volume down and power buttons doesn't work try 'adb reboot bootloader' command while tablet in twrp. Then flash rom through fastboot.

Now I can get to fastboot, but if I try to flash anything the cmd window says it worked but all it really does is freeze the tablet.

I was able to flash cwm recovery. So now instead of booting into twrm everytime I get stuck on the splash screen. That didn't really change anything
I tried fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash system boot.blob (the .blob file from the stock rom), and I got the blue progress bar then rebooted but I'm still stuck on the first splash screen.
You do it wrong. So if Your last working firmware was 4.2 You need download this rom from asus webpage. Then unzip it twice and You get blob file. Then flash it with 'fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging blob' command.

Thanks. That worked. However now I'm only back where I started. CWM give can't mount error and can't reach a zip file. ADB sideload doesn't work either(failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)'). I tried TWRP once and that's the reason I had to post hear in the first place.

Did You try only TWRP v2.6.3.0? I use v2.5.0.0 and its work fine. About CWM: flatline cwm for 4.2 bootloader was created with purpose do nvflash backup, so may be here is the cause of not working others functions.

Success. Thanks for the help.

twrp wont work on xt1032

I unlocked the bootloader and flashed latest twrp using xt1032 img
when I try to go to recovery I get a " ! no command "
I have flashed it and reflashed it and cmd prompt says okay like it was successful???
help Confused
The no command screen is stock recovery. Try and run fastboot OEM unlock again
Also after you flash you must go straight into recovery or else when you do a normal power up the ROM will overwrite twrp.

Return to stock rom issue

hi all, i have tried to return to stock rom from cm 13 following the instruction from the nvida site. I rebooted the shield in fastboot, my device is already unlocked, but when i write the command flash-all.bat in the minimal adb and fastboot for flashing recovery.img system.img .... the program says "error: cannot load recovery.img" and it asks me to exit.
Solutions?

You have to explicitly state the location. Ie:
Fastboot flash recovery c:\locationoffile\twrp.img
