Thanks. I can get into nvflash and i have flashed the ICS firmware and the 2.5.0.0 ICS TWRP. But with booting i get into a bootloop on the Android Asus boot animation (no adb). Also when trying to get into recovery i get the message:

Pre os boot configuration. Cold booting Linux.

Either i missed something, but i think i have flashed all the partitions.

If you know what i have missed.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] flumpster:
There was a semi automated way to do this in linux that repartitioned the whole machine and restored what was needed. This always worked but I just noticed that Craig Gomez has removed the files and I also deleted mine during a cleanup recently.

I helped someone not long ago recover their machine using these files and I will dig thru my chat history to see if he still has them but can you look at the following link and see if you did the normal recovery way properly first. I know it is for the TF201 but these machines are all the same basically.

edit. I also just sent Craig a PM to see if he still has a local copy of the file.

Thanks i have managed to get back. As I stated in my previous post, I have restored a TWRP 2.5.0.0 backup with your patched 2.6.3.0 TWRP.

I will try some more things. But I also would like to know what the things are then you changed. This because TWRP is part of Omni and the next TWRP version will be build in the Omni 4.4 tree.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
Did it restore the boot partition? I can restore backups with TWRP 2.6.3.0 since ever, just the boot partition didn't work...
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
I cannot say for 100%, but i tried to flash my 4.4 zip which failed and resulted in a non booting tablet. I restored my 2.5.0.0 backup and could boot into Omni again. So my guess is yes. The boot image is restored.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
Great to know that! Do you have the link so I can test it myself? Can't find it right now :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] k-kuchen:
Just to be sure.... I can flash the twrp.blob inside "TWRP Updater 2.6.3.0.zip" using fastboot as usual and the file is for the 4.2 Bootloader?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] flumpster:
You shouldn't need to flash that with fastboot. I made it a flashable zip.

Just flash it from the recovery you have now and restart or if you really want to then yes, you can take it out of the zip and flash it in fastboot.

And yes, this is for the 4.2 bootloader.

I accidentally updated to the TG recovery on my T. So I erased the recovery partition and flashed correct twrp. Now it boots, but when I go into bootloader and select rck, I don't have twrp, it selects android icon and the only thing I can do from there is boot android. Any help?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] That Baker Guy:
just flashed the 2.6.3 flashable zip posted and recovery no longer sees my sd card in the tablet. it was working before in 2.5.0
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
Yes a user already reported that to me. As soon as I get my hands on my laptop I'll change it back. Too bad it doesn't recognize some SD cards ... Maybe flumpster can fix that too...
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] That Baker Guy:
sorry about that i went back a couple pages didnt see anything. I also tried to restore a back up of cm10.2 that i made in 2.5 and it failed, said it could format 'system' but it flashed an old build just fine.

it also wouldnt flash my cm11.zip but i think thats on my end :)

Ok about set_metadata_recursive. It could be that the kernel used for recovery is not compiled with SELinux support. So I have 2 requests. Please compile TWRP with a kernel that has SELinux enabled or give me the TWRP configuration used so I can build one myself in the OmniRom build tree that has the TWRP recovery source in the repository.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
As I thought, this TWRP isn't compatible with KitKat yet... We really need help from the top guys :(
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] smeroni68:
Our dev team on sgs+ is testing now cm11, and I can confirm that current recoveries are not yet ready to flash kitkat roms... They need new features during flash to manage the permissions set with metadata related to selinux implementation.

Up to now we managed to set Permissive level from kernel side and bypassing the metadata settings, but this is a temp solution just to start working on.

Hope these info will be useful.

Failed restore

I am trying to revert to Stock from a CM9 Rom that is lacking a few needed features. I am using a Nandroid taken one week ago with TWRP 2.1.5 ..

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] EndlessDissent:
Yes, you will lose root, but it can be easily replaced by flashing the root zip in the second post of the CWM thread.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] TerrorCandii:
Sorry for the delay, working on my S2 as well. Both running AOKP. I can verify that I can fully recover stock,and back to AOKP without issue. How do I go about getting a log? If I have to do it again to get a log, I will. Any help is appreciated. Once again, getting the dock soon to help with that as well.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] EndlessDissent:
Well, the problem with TWRP and stock wasn't restoring the stock ROM. The problem was flashing the zip of the blob. TWRP will just hang, and nothing happens.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] eyeballer:
The best way to get a log is to adb pull /tmp/recovery.log. If adb is frozen too when twrp hangs, then you can reboot and try to pull /cache/recovery.log.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] TerrorCandii:
Hmm, my fault...trying today. Will pull the log, and yea the obvious place to give it. n
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] smeroni68:
No. We manage this on the rom build... In this way we are using normal twrp to flash CM11 rom... May be there are other modification on build side to avoid metadata use (updater-script do not use set_metadata but older set_perm)... Sorry but as I told I'm not on dev side...

HELP

So I flashed the 2.6.3.0 TWRP and now Im stuck in it. Its not reading anything mounted, the only way to turn the tablet off is shut down through the program and then let it try to install SU.apk then the tablet will power off. Otherwise it just restarts itself. When I do power it off and power back on it goes right back into TWRP including when I try to get into download mode, please help!

Edit: I got ADB to work but I can only get into the actual tablet through ADB otherwise it defaults to TWRP 2.6.3. I have used fastboot and Terminal Emulator to try and push other recoveries and 2.3.6 still is over ruling everything any way I do it, any advice?

When looking at the TWRP website on how to install the revovery, they are everywhere talking about a .blob file.

The process should be identical when installing an img. The only difference is the file name.

Does this work on any version? I'm still on the 10.6.1.8 bootloader, with the 2.4.4 recovery since 2.5 has the split screen issue.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] crenshaw1979:
Your bootloader is one of the earliest versions if I remember correctly, about five versions from the latest.

Split screen issue is caused by you using a bootloader that is not compatible with twrp. Install the newest Asus released firmware, that will give you the newest bootloader , giving more freedom on using newer versions of twrp.

Good luck...

Google Translate does not do a good job here I guess.

What we are trying to find out is if the TWRP version you have installed is the correct version.

You need the TWRP 2.6.3.0-42 version of you have the 4.2 bootloader installed. If you installed TWRP 2.6.3.0-JB and you have the 4.2 bootloader and you did a wipe, you might have bricked your tablet.

It is essential that the bootloader version and the TWRP version matches.

Same here with my TF300TG.

I've 4.2+ bootloader, rom is the latest Asus "WW_TF300TG_10_6_2_11" and the right recovery is "openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob", with this one i've zero problem.

The latest 2.6.3.0 don't find or mount the MicroSD and when wipe or install some show this error:

E:unable to find partition size /boot

E:unable to find partition size /recovery

Then I recommend you use the 2.5.0.0, here is "error free" with this latest original rom and other like "CROMi-X V5.3".

Yes, the 2.6.0.0 version work fine but there's the two annoying message when wipe etc. etc.:

Another limit, with 2.5.0.0 during backup you can select "System / Cache / Data / Recovery / Boot", with 2.6.0.0 only "System / Data", the newest version has this error messages and some limits, I don't understand.
