Cannot mount Micro SD in TWRP or flash CWM? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I have a fairly serious issue. My N8013 was being a little buggy lately and my ROM had been discontinued. So I decided to try out another one that seemed popular. After backing everything up I booted into recovery and wiped everything that needed to be. However when I went to install the new ROM, I could not mount the SD card. I tried reformatting the card to both FAT32 and exFAT, neither worked. So I updated TWRP to the latest I could find (2.8.7.0), that didn't fix the problem either. So then I decided maybe it's just an issue with my tablet and TWRP and decided to try CWM recovery instead. But when I start up Odin and try to flash the CWM tar, it just gets stuck on "NAND Write Start." I tried different ports and different computers, though I don't think that's the issue since TWRP reflashes just fine.
So basically my issue is this: My tablet has no ROM installed but I can't mount the SD to install a ROM. On top of that I can't flash CWM over TWRP for some reason.
I pretty much see my option is to reflash the stock firmware via Odin and start from there. However if anybody has other suggestions, I'm all ears!

Well I got it up and running finally Got a hold of the stock 4.1.2, flashed it via Odin, and that fixed the Micro SD issue. Then I just reflashed TWRP and installed Gnabo ROM V8 and it's running smoothly! So this thread can either be deleted or left up for people with similar issues

Can't Install any ROMS

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)

[Q] ROM issues

I tried following some guide online to get my S3 rooted and running stock Jelly Bean and all was going so well...Casual Root worked like a charm, cyanogen all set. But when I went to install the ROM and Gapps in recovery it kept getting hung up. I assumed this was due to encryption on the device from my work email, so I went back to factory andremoved the account and decrypted the device.
Then it was back to recovery to flash the ROM and Gapps. All seemed to go well,the ROM installed fine, Gapps installed fine, but reboot got stuck at the cyanagenmod loop. I had mad a backup of the original ROM, but I must have saved it to the internal SD card by accident before i factory wiped. I thought my best bet would be to load the Gapps and ROM onto my external SD and flash from there, but I cant get it to mount.
The one good thing that I can do is get to the Odin boot screen. Anyone think there's a chance I can get Odin to flash something that will boot? And does anyone have suggestions of what to flash?

[Q] flash failed in TWRP [SOLVED]

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

I've got a similar problem. I was on twrp 2.7.0.0 and had been running 4.4.4 Crombi for awhile but it started getting really laggy so I decided to just wipe cache and dalvik in recovery. When I rebooted, I noticed the tablet had gone into bootloop which is weird. Anyway, when I booted back to recovery again, I noticed I couldn't mount sdcard or anything else except external. I have tried flashing various twrps and cwms with no luck.
I've been able to NVFlash back all the blobs of the Asus stock 10.6.1.27 and the tablet runs fine but when I boot into recovery, it cannot mount anything. Just the weirdest thing. I guess the good thing is the tablet is working but I'd really like to be able to flash a custom ROM again...
Can anyone shed light on this issue?
Thanks

Update: Well...I turned on USB debugging and when I booted into recovery...everything mounted. That is the weirdest thing ever. This issue is closed for me...

wiped everything, no OS installed, TWRP restarts on flashing.

Long story short I was running latest nightly of cm13, I decided to flash to cm14 to try nougat. I had backups, during the process I pulled an idiot and wiped everything dalvik, system,data,internal storage,cache . So now I have no backups, I can still get into TWRP and attempt to flash Roms but I've tried countless ones and same outcome, TWRP just restarts half a second after it tries to flash, I've even tried the stock rom with no luck.it starts and gets to MTP enabled installing "name of rom" and then reboots . I've been using a tablet to install the Roms onto an sdcard and then using the sdcard to flash, I'm hoping it's an sdcard issue and I'm waiting to get the laptop to try and put the Roms on internal phone storage and try. I'm hoping I won't have to go back to unroofed stock using kdz tot. If anyone knows what's wrong please help.
Well I tried flashing to stock and can't get into download mode, computer won't recognize phone. So I decided to try updating Twrp flashed the image, rebooted and now I'm stuck on [11050] fast boot mode started. Nothing gets me out of that.
