I did. I have searched everywhere for TWRP 2.6.3.1 and 2.6.3.2 for the TF300T and i cant find it. 10+ hours. Do i have to download it for a different Model such as the TF700T? TWRP its self only lists 2.6.3.0 for the TF300T.

You couldn't have because it's right there on the first page. It's 2.6.3.2 instead of 2.6.3.1 but either one will work.
Downloads
Below are the files you need for flashing OmniROM:
TWRP 2.6.3.2 for KitKat: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407569892
The latest nightly build: http://dl.omnirom.org/tf300t/ (or my homebuild version, see second post)

Can you open the TWRP 2.6.3.2 zip file on your PC before you copy it to your tablet? If you open it and get errors then the file might be corrupt, if it opens correctly then that's not the problem. Are you doing this in Windows? If you do get errors when trying to open the zip try downloading it again to a different place on Windows. I don't know how many times I have downloaded a zip file more than once and Windows always finds it corrupt. Then try opening it again. Let me know and we'll go from there.

Do you have an sdcard or are you putting in on internal card? First, try opening the zip file that you put on your tablet to make sure it's not corrupt. Then if it opens okay, put it on sdcard or vice versa from where you put it originally. So the version of TWRP you have now that's working is which version? And what error message are you getting when you try flashing the new TWRP?

I tried it on both the Internal and external sd card. thinking it may have been unmounting the card during instillation. I didnt try to open it on the tablet threw the file manager yet. Right now i have TWRP 2.6.3.0 running i got the Blob straight from TWRP for the TF300T I Fastbooted it onto the tablet.

Oh one other question will this get rid of any backup that i have created with TWRP already?
Hopefully this works I will let you know because i'm sure others have had this problem and given up. This may be a work around for now.

I don't think it will unless you were to delete the backups from your internal card. To be safe, which is what I do, put a copy of your backups on your PC first. And make sure you keep the exact folder names or they won't restore. For instance if your backups are under "/TWRP/BACKUPS/015d46d9242bf407/name of back" make sure they are put back in those folders especially the 015d46d9242bf407 or whatever yours are named. In fact I was told to make a backup of the current 4.2 rom in TWRP 2.6.3.0 recovery, put on the new TWRP 2.6.3.2 recovery, boot back into 2.6.3.2 recovery, make another backup of your current 4.2 rom and then flash the new 4.4.2 rom. Always keep copies of your backups and recoveries on your PC.

I fastbooted the CWM recovery and once that loaded up I was able to load the TWRP 2.6.3.2 zip without a problem. Figured id try that just to make it easier to reload existing backups. First i tried the CM 11 Nightly which was fast but very buggy typing was almost impossible. I had to load the new nightly Omnirom and the Home made rom onto the sd card. Then i tried to load the nightly Omnirom which wouldn't load so i tried the Home made one. That loaded without a problem. Didn't get to play with it much but definitely much faster than the old 4.2.1. I Dont know why the Nightly one wouldn't load tried 2 different downloads with no luck. Do i need to download this file also (omni-4.4.2-20140312-tf300t-NIGHTLY.zip.md5sum)? But i finally have 4.4.2 so its a good start. :good:
I am currently using bootloader 10.4.4.25 and cannot install the latest cm 11
And I am using CWR 6.0.4
Can anyone advise how can I update the bootloader so I can install cm11?
Thanks
Download the latest Asus firmware, unzip the file once resulting in another zip.
Copy that zip to your tabet and flash it in CWM (that you have everything you care about backed up off the tablet goes without saying, right?). That will get you onto the latest bootloader but also wipe your custom recovery.
Boot into fastboot, flash a CM11 compatible recovery.
Reboot
Boot into recovery, do a factory wipe and then flash the rom.
Thanks for the advise. I am downoading the latest firmware from ASUS website and will install it.
I am not sure how to flash a CM11 compatible recovery from fastboot. Can you give more details please? Shoudl I follow the root instruction from the ROM post and re-root the machine again?
Thanks in advance

I've come across this today (my OPO was rooted and I had TWRP installed), I was able to install the OTA via returning the OPO back to an unrooted stock build. You can easily do this via getting the 'Fastboot' zipped version of your current .....1NO build.
Once you have this, you only need to fastboot flash the following: - boot.img, recovery.img and system.img
After flashing just these three images, yes you'll loose root but you'll be able to OTA update to the ......2QL build via the normal phone method - hten if you want, you could then reflash a TWRP recovery and re-install a supersu.zip
One thing I forgot to add, which maybe helpful to others as it took me a moment to realise, both boot.img and recovery.img flash without issue, but due to it's size to flash the large system.img you'll probably need to brake it down into flashable chunks, notice the change in fastboot commands: -
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -S 512M flash system system.img

OTAs can only be flashed through stock recovery..applicable to all devices
Hello,
on the same subject, I am looking for explanations on how to create twrp flashable files for ota updates. Do you know where I could find any resources?
Thx
I had the same issue while installing the incremental update (I got root and TWRP); I solved it simply installing the signed zip of ...2QL version which was pulled out yesterday afternoon. My only concern was about root that could be wipe away with the new installation, so I directly installed SuperSU via zip. Everything works fine till now

Can't boot into recovery mode, maybe something went wrong while updating TWRP to 3.0.2 but can boot into fastboot.
also had backup of previous rom but since i can't boot into TWRP now so can't restore it. Earlier on TWRP 2.8.6 i was getting zip file execution error while restoring/installing new ROM.
So for now i have only access to fastboot mode, how to proceed futher?

You have 2 options you can flash the stock rom and recovery via fastboot here is a guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541 (Just skip step 4 don't relock the bootloader specially if you want to install TWRP) Make sure you download the correct file there is a 64gb and a 16gb listed in this guide or you can download the stock file straight from cynogen OS here https://cyngn.com/support
Or you can reinstall TWRP via fastboot by downloading TWRP here https://dl.twrp.me/bacon/ and install your backup if its still there. If its not there you can either download and install any custom rom you want or if you want the stock rom go with option 1 above and then re-install twrp. (Always remeber after installing TWRP don't fully boot into the system or you will loose TWRP, boot straight to recovery once its done flashing TWRP by holding the power button and volume down. )

Did you fastboot boot into TWRP, then flash twrp-pixel-installer-sailfish-3.0.2-0-RC1.zip? Were you stock prior?

Yes, you are not supposed to install twrp, just boot into it. If you install it by mistake, you go back, flash stock boot.img, and do it again.
This is from Dees_Troy's post located here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/development/twrp-alpha1-pixel-devices-t3500314
Installation:
If you already have TWRP installed: Download the latest zip and install the zip using TWRP.
If you do not already have TWRP installed: Download both the img and the zip. Copy the zip to your device. You will need to have fastboot binaries and the correct drivers installed. Power off your device completely. Hold volume down and turn on the device. Your device should now be in the bootloader. Connect the device to your PC. Open a command window and run the following command from the proper location:
fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img
This will temporarily boot TWRP on your device. If you are using a lockscreen pin/pattern/password and do not get prompted to enter your passord, reboot to the bootloader and try again. Go to install and browse to the zip and install the zip. If you are currently rooted with SuperSU, you will need to reflash the stock boot image before installing TWRP. After installing the stock boot image, follow the instructions for installing TWRP. Once TWRP is installed, grab the very latest SuperSU released on 2015-11-15 or later and install SuperSU.
If you accidently flash TWRP to your device using fastboot instead of temporarily booting the image, you will need to download the latest factory image for your device and reflash the boot image.
@Tulsadiver First off, thanks for the post on this. I installed TWRP to slot A by accident and am finding myself in this same predicament (though I found that I can boot by switching to slot B). I found another post online that mentioned what you commented on, specifically:

Having previously downloaded Oreo 8.1 and setup root, I had loaded into TWRP, went to install, selected the TWRP zip, and installed (as per what you had suggested and what I read earlier). This is what led me to the current problem, making me realize that I'm missing something in the description. Now, I likely don't need to flash TWRP (I don't develop and used flashfire to do upgrades) but my last upgrade left me rootless and I felt having it installed would make life a little easier. I was hoping to ask for a clarification on the TWRP install.

Things have changed with 8.1. you have to root with magisk. From slot b you cannot fastboot flash boot_a boot.img?
I believe the instructions now are to boot to TWRP, install TWRP pixel installer zip, then flash Magisk zip
Here is where TWRP files are here

I hadn't tried yet. I was worried about messing things up further without asking for help online first. I'll give this a shot later. Does boot.img refer to the android image file? (ie: what I'd download from the OTA site?)

Yes, the zip file that is located where the flash-all.bat is. Unzip it and flash the boot.img.
I bought a Pixel 2 on swappa. It had different bootloader's on slot a and slot b. I couldn't flash updates when on slot a. I thought I was hosed but from slot b I could flash to slot a so now I'm fine. Slot a had a preview bootloader.
