Hey guys, I have a huge problem here. After RSD failed I've found a way to flash my device using fastboot. However most ROM files I found are in zip format, which I couldn't install due to locked bootloader. Any suggestions on installing these ROMs?
I'm using ME865 in TW.

Hi folks! It has been a while since I have been on this forum; and I have a question about how to update from 4.1.2. to 4.2.2.
The process is not quite clear to me. Can I just download the Asus Firmware and flash through existing TWRP recovery (4.1.2 version)? Do I have to flash a kernel and new recovery using fastboot first? I see some step-by-step guides but also a view warnings. It is a littlebit vague to me what to do.Can anyone guide me through the process please?
I am on Hydro 7 but looking to update preferably to another custom 4.2.2. base rom. Tips are welcome
Best way is to download the firmware from asus website extract it (theres a zip inside the zip) and flash it with twrp, this will get rid of twrp so after the first boot find the approprate version of twrp and reflash it with fastboot, from there you can flash custom roms/ kernels at will
goodluck
I'm not sure if twrp will work. My upgrade path was to use fastboot the official zip from the Asus website, then fastboot twrp. Be careful which version of twrp you fastboot because it will cause a brick. I think twrp-2.5-4.2 should work for the US version for the official blob from the Asus website. For the WW version of the blob I used twrp version 2.4-4.2 successfully. Good luck!

Hi
I'm also still running 4.1.1 on my TF300TG (WW-version).
The bootloader is unlocked with the asus-tool, cwm-recovery (CWM-based recovery v6.0.1.3) flashed with fastboot and the system is rooted with supersu.
Now i want to update to 4.2.1 but it won't work. neither with the SOP for manual update nor from cwm-recovery.
From what i found it should work like this:
- download the 4.2.1 (10.6.2.6) rom file from the asus website
- extract the zip (once)
- open the second zip and open \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script
- delete everything except "assert(package_extract_file("blob", "/tmp/blob"), write_raw_image("/tmp/blob", "staging"),delete("/tmp/blob"));
set_progress(1.000000);"
- save file and save the zip
- put zip on sdcard and install from cwm-recovery
can someone tell me, if this is correct? or if i should only flash the blob with fastboot?
any help is appreciated!
thx!
hey i recently was using the motoTool to flash a new custom recovery on my XT1034 and i accidentally converted my phone to Google play edition.
now its stuck on bootlogo and im not to sure how to continue to get it booting. no custom recoveries can mount anything for some reason either.
any help would be really appreciated, thanks!

Flash stock firmware image through fastboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546251
Or if u needed to install custom recovery than flash custom recovery (twrp)through fastboot and install firmware (.zip) through adb sideload

Hi,
I want to root my Mate7 but I am not comfortable with messing with recovery. What is the way to backup stock recovery so I can put it back with fastboot flash recovery after rooting is done?
Thanks.
Hi xtonda - the package going around for unlocking/rooting the Mate7 currently that contains the recovery_b60.img also contains a copy of the stock recovery.
If you follow any of the guides available (off hand I can remember http://mate7.net/ascend-mate7-bootloader-unlock/ from the other day, but plenty guides available on XDA and elsewhere) the tools/driver package includes the stock recovery.
Flashing the stock is done in exactly the same way as flashing the CWM, just with the different file.
So you'd unlock, flash CWM, root the device, then flash the stock recovery again
Cheers - hope that helps!
Hi, I found two guides to root Mate7 here and each has own package with CWM recovery and some original recovery. However these original recoveries are not the same so I am not convinced that they are exactly the same as the one in my device (obviously at least one of them is not) since there are several Mate7 variants and ROM version and is unknown where these "original" recovery images come from. That is why I want to download original recovery from my device and flash it back after rooting.
Or to boot CWM recovery only temporarily without flashing it, I found that it should be possible using "fastboot boot" command. Is that possible?
Hello,
I have got a problem to do anything with my tablet N8010. Some time ago I flashed custom ROM Lineage 14.1 (android 7.1) using custom recovery TWRP. Everything works fine except on some bugs in the ROM. These bugs convinced me to flash good old stock Kitkat ROM. But there is a problem. My USB port is somehow broken - I bless god that it charge battery at least but data communication is dead even when using different accessories. Problem is even worse because I managed to flash stock recovery over TWRP. If I recapitulate this, I cannot flash stock ROM over odin because USB data transfer does not work. I am stuck with stock recovery which allow me to flash only Samsung signed ZIPs.
The target is to either root Lineage ROM or get back custom recovery somehow.
What i have tried already:
LineageOS - addonsu-arm-signed.zip
This ZIP should be flashed through custom recovery to achieve ROOT access but thanks it is unusable unfortunately thanks of absence of Samsung's signature
All kind of ONE-CLICK-ROOT-APPS
Since i cannot root device through USB cable I have to use applications to try to reach root state. I have tried most common apps for this kind of purpose but non of these worked.
Ideas to solve this kind of problem
ADB-ROOT option in LineageOS
I can enable ADB-ROOT access in developers settings. I know there is a way of connecting to ADB via Wi-Fi. This I have tried already and I was successful.
Questions:
Will the Wi-Fi connection persist event when going to bootloader?
Is it possible to flash custom recovery at least from booted Android through ADB?
Is there any other way to flash or root recovery not from bootloader?
Use stock TAR.MD5 file
I managed to get all IMG files from stock firmware .md5 file but is it useful somehow? Can i just put them into ZIP archive and flash it through stock recovery or ADB-ROOT?
Prepare ZIP for stock RECOVERY
I would either need custom recovery ZIP (not IMG or tAR.MD5 file) to flash it through stock recovery or create / change / delete some attributes in ZIP file to be able to pass the signature verification of stock RECOVERY
This is my situation. External SD and Wi-Fi are only friend of mine in this situation and I am asking you kindly if I am stuck with ROM I have or if I have a chance to resolve the issue and flash stock ROM.
Thank you
Have a look and see if Mobile Odin or Flashfire work on this tablet .

Since i am stucked with stock recovery, the signature verifying fails. I does not work.
I have managed situation by following this article. Also, do not forget to type adb root before typing adb shell

Hi all.
I'm a bit of a noob. I need some advice on where i can find and how to install the Chinese version miui rom. I've tried to flash a of ROMs via TWRP Recovery(miui_TUCANA_V11.0.3.0.PFDCNXM_c3a4beb98d_9.0), but so far I haven't been able to get it to work. It says it's not compatible.
Grateful for any help..
Cheers
I think you could use this:
https://bigota.d.miui.com/V11.1.2.0...DCNXM_20200504.0000.00_10.0_cn_9d8b49d8f2.tgz
And flash it with fastboot with the included script. But dont use the script with the relock.
Thanks. I have managed to find a Chinese ROM that flashed for me using TWRP. It was a bit of trail and error trying out different ROMS
