Hi. I have a shield tablet with Blisspop a friend gave me. Since for some reason the os was quite broken I'm trying to reinstall it via recovery mode and microSD. I already swiped and tried with two different rom (blisspop and cyanogen), formatting the SD exFAT/NTSC, but I can't read the zip file when in recovery mode (storage/sdcard1). It says there are no files and I got an error if I try to mount it. What am I doing wrong?

Hello all,
My little brother has bought this phone a few months ago and he is having the error above. I am able to see the sd card via recovery but once the os has loaded the sd card cannot be mounted. I've tried with three different SD cards already, same issue. I've even tried to format it on the phone to no prevail. I was going to try another rom to see if that fixes the problem but since the os cannot mount the sd card I cannot put the files on the phone. When I try to mount via PC it doesn't recognize it at all. PLEASE HELP!

If you can see the SD card mounted in recovery then you should be able to flash the ROM. Can you not see your files in recovery? Is the phone rooted?
The phone is rooted but I cannot get to cwm. I always get to stock recovery "Android system recovery <3e>" and when I try to flash it gives me the signature verification error.

First sounds like you do not have cwm. See my links in my signature for the iset page, there are odin and one click methods listed and while your add it just to help you better understand read my other link, i understand your doing this for your brother...
I've installed a Gingerbread rom from Jscott30 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613523 that came with CWM and I installed a CWM alone via Odin. The rom said it came with everything I needed but I can't boot into the CWM.
I actually had the same problem with the SD card.I was also using the same Gingerbread Rom .I tried installing CWM separately still i was getting the signature verification error. So i went ahead and installed the rooted stock version which was available from the below thread

Now i am using the REMICS rom and the SD card problem has been fixed.
I Downloaded the CWM ROM Manager from the play store and it updated me from Rouge Recovery to CWM 6.... something. Problem is that this new version of CWM will not mount my SD card, so I cant flash anything, including a new Recovery. I tried using Rouge Recoveryys nvflash method to flash a new recovery from my pc but it didnt work( here are the instructions i followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123429). I installed the drivers for my TF101 without issue, but when I run the .bat file it just dissconnects the device and does nothing. Any help would be great, i just want to find another way to replace my recovery.
EDIT: Problem Solved http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180 instant recovery flash, threw me back to CWM 3. something but it mounted my sd card and BOOM good to go.
Restored the Tablet TF101 back to stock rooted and everything worked. Installed CWM Did factory reset system wipes etc. Tried to install 3 different CM 10 all failed bad installation. Tried to installed the newest TWRP same thing I can't seem to install any rom from the external or internal just keeps saying bad?
What errors did TWRP tell you?
For TWRP why not download the GOO app from the playstore and find the option in the menu to allow it to install the open recovery script for you?
Had similar issues with my S4 with a particular rom but youve tried a few so i doubt its down to the download sites.
You may have to format the emmc and see how that goes as a last resort. (just make sure you have a rom placed on a micro sd as it will completely wipe the TF again but still keep your recovery)
On my ME301T I unlocked it and flashed twrp 2.5.0.0. I put the latest OMNI rom on an SD card and I can mount the card but when I try to install the ZIP it fails. also tried CM11 rom. all the roms I try to install fail! My computer wont recognize the tablet when booted to fastboot. Anyone know how to get ANY rom on this and working through TWRP?
Not sure what did the trick, but I flashed TWRP 2.7, wiped again, made sure to mount everything, used TWRP file manager to copy the ROM and moved it to the internal storage and then when I flashed it worked! Probably would have worked if I'd followed directions but it seems ROM wont flash fromexternal SD
So i tried to install a new kernel,but things got messy,the kernel installed,but when it booted it gave me a black screen,could only hold the power button to open the turn off,restart features.I tried to flash a new firmware with odin,but it just fails to flash,if i boot into recovery twrp and try to copy somehting on my internal storage it gives me an error saying my phone is disconnected or not responding,then i formated everything and now i only have recovery to boot into with no options to install a firmware with odin since it fails.Tried with smart switch as well,nothing.I guess it has something to do with the fact that i coudn't copy anything on my internal storage.Any ideas?
Issue solved,used adb sideload to install a custom rom and that worked
