is there anyone so kind to answer me?
Code:
Secure Booting Error!! 
Cause: Device Unlock, so Boot Success!
thank you
thats nothing to worry about
just means loki is working

Will be the default theme (res folder) for 1200x1920 resolution in TWRP Team github?

yes it is the default theme created by Tassadar (the one in their github)
was an oversight on my part that theme was there the whole time, swear I looked for it oh well:)

In github is the res folder for the 1920x1200 resolution not for the 1200x1920 that is the right one for G pad.

So, just to clarify, if I want to flash TWRP using flashify, I think that I will only need to use the OpenRecovery file, not the loki apk. Is that correct?
Yes, Just open Flashify, select recovery, select the TWRP file, and flash. It will then reboot into recovery. :)
Sorry to ask something so basic, but I want to understand when to use the appropriate .lok file and when to use the OpenRecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-awfi.img file. Those posts that I quoted seemed to say it was okay to use that OpenRecovery...img file in flashify. Yet other posts seem to say the appropriate .lok file must be renamed to a .img file, and then flashify will work with that renamed file.

The OP seemed to say that the OpenRecovery...img file should only be used in the 2nd method of flashing, i.e. in the dd command.

So finally to get to my question! Are the .lok files and the OpenRecovery...img file completely different formats? Or are they the same, the only difference being that the .lok files are for TWRP 2.6.3.1, while the .img file is for TWRP 2.6.3.0? Can flashify use either the .lok (renamed) or the .img file? Similarly, can the loki_flash command flash either the .lok file or the .img file? And finally, could method 2 (with the dd command) use either the .lok file or the .img file? Thanks for bearing with me!

It is my understanding that lok files are built to bypass the bootloader, flashify only works with IMG files. If you have a file that has been customized to bypass the bootloader and just change the name back to IMG it appears to do the trick(both show up on flashify and bypass the bootloader). This is just my reasoning I don't know if it is 100%. All I know is that once you change the .Lok to .IMG flashify will recognize it and it works.

I've succeed installing TWRP...

however whenever I flash either CMB rom or CM11 I get this message

"assert failed run program ('\system\bin\loki.sh")==0"

when I boot the device, screen says

[Secure Booting Error!!
Cause: Device Unlock, so Boot Success!] message

which means my device is unlocked....

what have I done wrong? or what is wrong with my device?

Please tell me which version of twrp you have installed ? is it 2.6.3.1?
also since your device software version is V50010e LOKI in the rom source needs to be updated
I am working on something for you to test I will pm you when its ready

Make sure you are rooted
You have the $ icon you need the #

Try:
adb shell
su
Then you should get a # prompt

I still have $ instead of #
I have rooted my device with Kingo Root

Sorry for my post, but is there any other, maybe noober way of installing the recovery. Something like the nexus toolkit that exists for the nexus. This is the first Android device I own not being a nexus. I'm used to use the toolkits available. Not very familiar with adb and Fast-food commands.. Is there any "easier" way than the two ways on the first post? Best regards

Learn the basics of adb and fastboot; if i can you can too or you should be nowhere near a nexus device. :p

Go to the nexus 5 root thread. That's a good place to get the idea how to get around the fastboot.
