Does TWRP 2.8 (latest version 2.8.7.0) okay to start out with? Meaning, if we are at the latest version of stock (ASUS build JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.27-5-20130902; Android 4.2.1) and we are going to flash a custom rom for the first time, the latest versions of TWRP won't brick our devices?

It could be that I'm just confused because there were lots of older versions that reference individual Android builds (JB vs ICS). And people would say "if you have X version of Android, use Y version of TWRP or you're gonna brick it".

I got sent here, so I'll try again.


I'm a little confused now, because I can't understand what is happening to my tablet. Let me explain step by step what I did, maybe one of you can figure out what is wrong.

I was running CM11 M12 with TWRP 2.8.1.0 and wanted to try the new Android 5.1. I decided to go with the latest Omnirom and found out I needed at least TWRP 2.8.5.0.

So first step would be to update TWRP. When I got at the TWRP website I read that there was something new in TWRP 2.8.4.0, so I decided to first go from .1 to .4 and then go to the latest .7. An upgrade to .4 went fine through Fastboot. Then I thought I could try the new in GUI recovery flasher, but I didn't understand it properly so I chose to go safe and flash the .7 through Fastboot.

I guess that's where I went wrong. The tablet went to recovery just fine, but in TWRP it couldn't access anything anymore. "Unable to mount" on everything. Internal storage was 0. It didn't boot to the ROM anymore.

So after some tinkering, not really sure what I did anymore, I got my access to the FS again. I had the CM11 M12 ROM still in the MicroSD, so I ran the "install ROM procedure" for that one and it booted again.

Only now I don't seem to have a recovery anymore. I can get into Fastboot, but when I send the "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging twrp.blob" the tablet hangs itself. Holding power revives it and it boots to CM11M12 again. I tried to flash different TWRP versions (.4 .5 .6 and .7) but no sigar.

Does anyone have an idea how to get my recovery back?

Edit0: I tried to install the TWRP manager from the store and get a recovery from there, but the app doesn't work. It hangs when I try to tap on the "Recovery version to install" option.

Edit1: I followed the link in the post above and solved it. Next thing I did was flashing the .6 TWRP recovery and it stuck. Time to wrestle with some new roms! Thanks!

Edit2: Back to square one. The TWRP can't see anything in my internal storage. Is my storage memory going dry? "Unable to mount ###" shows up for every partition.

Edit3: And now it can see in my internal memory again... Hardware failure?

2.8.7.0 on tf300t reboot/shutdown does not work

hi, thanks for all your effort!

i just used fastboot to load 2.8.7.0 on a stock tf300t. it seems to work fine with one exception, when I choose reboot system or shutdown, but result in me booting back to twrp immediately. the only way i can shutdow/reboot is to hold the power key for 10s, then press it again to boot

everything else seems to work ok (flashing etc)....

any ideas whats going on?

thanks again

Hello

Can someone help me please?
For the moment i have TWRP 2.8.0.1 and i want to update it to 2.8.7.0.
First of all, i tried to update it with twrp manager.
So i open twrp manger
The install recovery screen opens and i choose for "Install Recovery".
Then i'm redirected to jmz software and then i got next screen:
Forbidden - you don't have permission to access /tf300t/ on this server.
What i'm i doing wrong?
