TWRP higher 2.4.4.0 giving weird screen

[spenat]

Greetings. Today I wanted to try a KitKat rom on my TF300T (currently on PacMan Rom 4.3), but as I've figured out, I needed a new version of recovery, since I was using TWRP 2.4.4.0.

So I flashed it (version for 4.2 Bootloader, of course), but even though I've tried nearly all versions higher than 2.4.4.0 (for ex. 2.5.0.0 or 2.6.1.0), I was still getting this weird screen (not my picture, but the same problem) and the only way, how to solve it, is to go back on my default TWRP version - 2.4.4.0.

Any help is much appreciated!

Which stock rom were you on, 10.x.x.x.x.x?

Hello and thanks for quick reply! My stock rom was 10.6.1.8.

Anyway, some really weird thing happened - I downloaded TWRP 2.6.1.0 (again, version 4.2BL), flashed it, went to recovery but whoa - It installed CWM 6.0.4.5...? How is that even possible? And yes, the blob was downloaded from the official TWRP site.

Anyway, with this new "TWRP" (aka. CWM ) I was able to install this KitKat rom, but still I would like to know the solution for the TWRP problem.

But still, truth is, that my stock rom is very old, going to update it then - Thanks!

EDIT: Ah, now I see it, my bad Just found this:

If current bootloader = 10.6.1.8 - JB 4.2 - recovery to flash = ONLY TWRP "openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob" - flashing a non-4.2 version of TWRP or any version of CWM will brick device. Also flashing 2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2 on the 10.6.1.8 bootloader results in a split-screen issue.

Yes, update to 10.6.1.27 to use the TWRP.
