TWRP 2.6

I did as well but have the split screen issue, I'm running Energy ROM. ????
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] CBank:
Thats because you are still on the first 4.2.1 bootloader, from firmware 10.6.1.8, you would still want to use twrp 2.4.4.0.0-42 with that specific bootloader.

Or you could update your bootloader to the newest-10.6.1.15.3 with asus' newest firmware and use either of the 2 newer twrp's that end in -4.2 (2.5 or 2.6)

Its like asus is playing games with us with the changes they have been making in the bootloader

edit: You may as well update your bootloader if you will want to keep twrp up to date

You can check your bootloader version by just restarting to the bootloader, it will show the version up top

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] CBank:
Oh you wanted just the bootloader... I dont know if anyone made standalones of the bootloader besides NRG.

A heads up too, if you install his bootloader package it will bring you back to 10.6.1.8 with twrp 2.4.4.0, so you won't want to do that once you get all updated.

I see your sig says you are on 4.2.1 firmware, I hope you flashed a twrp that ends in -42.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ch3mn3y:
Yes i used 42 version thats why im asking. I was very careful with everything.

I dont wont brick, as i like my pad :)

Maybe should i use 2.5.0.0 as the newest is too new (and that can be a bug)?

I would do it, but moving beetwen different version of recovery (mostly from newer to older) wont mess with my tab?

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] wigginst:
Is there a twrp flashable version of 2.5? I also had back up issues with 2.6. Or does it need to be redone through fastboot?

Update:

I downloaded 2.5 off the twrp site. Replaced the 2.6 blob in SDK and managed to flash it through fastboot. After it was done typed fastboot reboot and it rebooted right away. Rebooted now to recovery and it says 2.5. Running a backup now to see if it completes.

Update 2: backup successful and was able to flash a kernel off my SD card.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] funnel71:
Now that you mention boot and recovery, I see what you mean. I don't even get those as options for mounting when I do a backup or access the mount menu, so I'm wondering if that's by design. I never really noticed, because I don't use those partitions. I don't back up boot or recovery, so I never would have noticed. SD card mounts just fine.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ch3mn3y:
Yeah, i had the same. When u open the log in recovery first two lines will be: "unable to mount /boot" "... /recovery"

It can be recovery bug or only bug with some devices, but I like to do full backup of all possible partitions, so ive returned to 2.5.0.0

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] funnel71:
Now I've discovered that backup semi-works. You can backup but you can't copy it to external SD like I prefer to do so I went back to 2.5.0.0. Everything seems to work with that one.

Hi every body.

If I had well understand, to install TWRP

I have to do :

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-tf300t-(Version).blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot-bootloader
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-tf300t-(Version).img
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot-bootloader

Then in bootloader, I have a choice to boot in recovery mode.

Is that correct ?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] funnel71:
You don't have to flash recovery twice, but you do have the idea. Flash the blob, then reboot, and you are done. To test, push vol + while the flashing icon is on RCK in your bootloader, and it should load up teamwin.

I have searched an cannot find the answer to this; but what version is my bootloader? I show Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00e> released by "US_epad-10.4.2.17-20121018" A03.

I want to upgrade but I need to know first- is this ICS, JB, does it require the .42 version of TWRP etc.

And I do not know if any OTA's have been installed- I have a PACMAN ROM now...

Thanks for any help.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] funnel71:
That is the next to latest version. It is android 4.2.x so you should use the 4-2 version of twrp .
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] CBank:
No that's not correct....Firmware 10.4.2.20 was the last of the 4.1.1 firmwares, So you are still on 4.1.1 JB bootloader.

You will want to use one of the twrp versions ending with "-JB.blob"

All of the 4.2.1 bootloaders start with 10.6.1

4.1.1 start with 10.4.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] funnel71:
Yikes, you are correct. My apologies.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ofsinreno:
OK, next question: how do I update the firmware? All I can find are instructions on how to unlock and root 4.2 firmware but nothing on how to take my ICS firmware and update it to the newest so I can flash any ROMs. Right now the only rom that will flash is an outdated version of PACMAN.

When mount partition from recovery, it is just for an access from recovery.

Then your coumputer could access in this partition, only with adb command.

Hi guys.

I want to install TWRP into my TF300T (see picture).

So I downloaded the file openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-tf300t-JB but it's the first time I see this extension named blob.

Do you confirm that the procedure is:

1) getting to flashboot mode

2) send the command fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob

That's it?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] funnel71:
NO!! You have downloaded the wrong version. Go download the twrp 2610 with -42 in the name, not jb. As for the command, yes you have it right, just replace twrp.blob with the exact file name you downloaded from the site.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] teteu86:
Wow, thanks mate, you're right. I downloaded the correct one now, the openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-tf300t-4.2.blob

After having it flashed, should I do something else, or just reboot onto recovery?

Actually, I'm not having access to fastboot mode (see the two pictures).

In cmd, I put fastboot.exe devices and it returns nothing.

Any suggestions?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] funnel71:
Yep just push vol up on that RCK icon and it should go into what you flashed.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] PR_phandroid:
Look at the last line of text on your first picture. With this tablet you get into fastboot by default. Same thing happened to me and I was able to install TWRP 2.6 and the latest Hydro custom ROM. Also updated the firmware to JB before doing all of that, using fastboot too. Good luck!

It might have been me, but when I loaded 2.6.0.0 and tested a backup, it would not backup the boot or recovery partitions, and I could not copy the files from internal storage to external storage due to permissions issues.

Was a bit in a hurry to flash an android 4.4 test build.

I do not know if it was added in 2.6.3.0, but i think there are SELinux changes in the 2.6 series and the new way of setting permissions is SELinux related.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
Any TWRP version above 2.5.0.0 doesn't mount boot and recovery partitions. They work fine for flashing, but for backups they can't save the kernel. TWRP 2.5.0.0 is the only recovery that works perfectly on the new bootloader.

OmniROM requires a new TWRP version, that's why there's all that fuzz. We need a fixed TWRP to be able to have full functionality on newer versions :)
