I don't remember if I deleted it or what but I only have TWRP 2.6.1 on my device as a recovery and I would like to reinstall CWM on my device. However, every "flashable" CWM zip I have tried through TWRP has failed and I'm not sure why. Don't nwant to brick my device and don't necessarily want to WebOS doctor it if I can avoid it, as my device has run fairly well (I am on 4.2.2). Any/all help is appreciated. Thanks!
I'm guessing that TWRP doesn't support flashing another recovery from it. Have you tried flashing recovery image from fastboot?

Not yet, although I managed to get a workable CWM running by moving an image to the boot folder and then updating to the latest working version (couldn't get the "touch" version to work via touch, however).
However, I may try flashing via fastboot if something unexpected happens. Thanks for the help
okay so i went through a bit of problems, and now i can only access recovery/bootloader because the rom i originally flashed messed up for some reason
anyways, im in recovery i use : adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip
it works i get the rom
i got to install from sd card
and when i flash the rom i get the error unable to open zip file. i also tried sideload but to avail.
any suggestions?
using TWRP, S-off , unlocked.

I was on a Jellybean ROM for sometime, now trying to flash a Kitkat ROM and keep getting an error message or stuck in boot up.
I updated my CWM Recovery to v6.0.4.6
I've tried flashing the Slimkat ROM, Kitkang ROM and the other CM 11 4.4 ROM on our dev thread.
I have them on my external SD, trying to flash all of the above I get an Error message.
CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.6
--Installing: /storage/sdcard1/kitkangv1.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
symlink: some symlinks failed
E:Error in /storage/sdcard1/kitkangv1.zip

Installation aborted.
I've tried unmounting cache, flashing/rebooting recovery/reflashing.
I flashed to TWRP v2.6.3.0 Recovery and rebooting, same issue.
Tried flashing the ROM I was last on, same issue.
Any suggestions?

Surprisingly that worked.. Thanks.
It's becoming apparent that cwm 6046 recoveries are only for kk at this point in time.

Dear all,
I've a tf701 with stock 4.2.2 build JDQ39.WW_epad-10.14.1.2820130827
I've been able to root it through adb/fastboot.
I tried to use the same way to flash the recovery and adb says "ok"
Problem is that when I launch RCK on fastboot; it starts normaly, not in recovery.
I'd tried to update the tf701 but update process tried to restart in recovery and it is the same thing I describe above.
I tried also rom manager to flash the recovery but the device is not superted yet.
If somebody could help me providing a recovery.img that work with JDQ39.WW_epad-10.14.1.2820130827 it would be great
Thanks in advance for tips and comments

DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER! Fastest way to brick a transformer. Lucky you didn't.
Which recovery are you trying to flash?
Have you tried upgrading to 4.3 from Asus?

I tried to flash CWM recovery, on adb it was a file called recovery.img but to my understanding it works with the asus stock 4.3 not the 4.2.2
OTA asus update dosn't work
I tried to update placing a SD card with the asus update, got a notification that my device will be updated but.... nothing the device restart (guess try to boot on recovery so fails and start normaly
still stuck there
Any ideas?

Many thanks, I restored the CWM recovery
May I upgrade from stock 4.2.2 with CWM recovery to CROMI X stable?
Thanks again

No you must go to JB 4.3 10.26.1.18 first.

Easier if you install the stock 4.2.2 recovery from that url and then put the zip inside the asus firmware zip in the root of internal or micro sd and reboot. It should update to 4.2.2 that way. I don't think you can flash asus stock roms from CWM yet.
Ok,
I flashed the recovery found at this url: http://droidbasement.com/asus/tf701t/stock/
It won't start, I boot android normaly instead of the recovery I think it is a recovery only for 4.3
The only recovery I've found for 4.2.2 id CWM

Some news; flashed several times the recovey, adb flash without errors but trying to update asus update (WW_10_26_1_18_SDupdate.zip or WW_epaduser_10_26_1_18_UpdateLauncher.zip) my tf701t restart and that's it, no do anything more and I still stuck to 4.2.2 JDQ39.WW_epad-10.14.1.28
I've contacted asus; I hope they will be able to help me to restore the recovery.
just to be sure, it is not possible to flash the stock firmware from adb console?

You have to unzip the ....UpdateLauncher.zip once which will give you a .....user.zip. That's the file you need to flash.
Yes I know, I've do that, it has detect a firmware and starts the update process but only restart the tab.
After that, when I plug again the SD card with user.zip nothing...
Firmware is no longer detected on SD card.
Still with recovery issue that's why I wonder if it is possible to flash stock ROM through adb.

Not in ADB - Android can't be running when you flash the system partition but you can flash the system blob in fastboot.

Ok thanks for the info.
I no response from asus support concerning a way to restore the 4.2.2 recovery I'll do that.
Just to be sure, I erease ell partitions (system, recovery, user data, boot, misc, cache and only flashing system (blob file) will re write every partitions?

.
The system blob contains everything: kernel, recovery and system files. It does not re-write user data naturally, and I don't think you have to wipe that partition. Doesn't sound as if your trouble is related to user data.... So you should erase system, boot and recovery. I would also erase misc and cache - can't hurt...

Ok, thank you for your interest.
I confirm that with recovery CWM for stock 4.2.2 it is not possible to flash the firmware provided by Droidbasement.
got the error message:
assert failed getprop ("ro.product.device") == "tf701t" || getprop ("ro.build.product") "tf701t"

I tried to go back to stock recovery but the one provided on droidbasement doesn't work; when "RCK" selected on fastboot mode, it says "booting recovery kernel" and restart the tab; that's all.
Same thing when tried to update asus stock firmware placing the update on SD card it's only reboot the tab.
To my understanding the stock recovery image provided by droidbasement works only with 4.3 stock not 4.2.2 stock.
So I'm able to flash a recovery CWM for 4.2.2 but can do nothing with it and not able to go back to a workable stock recovery
When I try to flash the stock recovery on droidbasement, it just restart the tab, still stuck at this step since 1 week.
I'm waiting a response from asus support I asked them a recovery image for stock 4.2.2
If they are not able to help me, I'll considere to flash the blob in fastboot.
Obviously if someone get tips to help me I'll reconsidere my plans

I think you are wasting your time waiting for a response from Asus. They do not provide support for our flashing shenanigans

Yes, you are right, asus support just tell me a kind of **** you...
As asus blob file get everything including the recovery, I've downloaded the 4.2.2 update from asus and unpack the blob to get the recovery.img
unpacking blob file I've got:
blob.BC1
blob.BCT
blob.EBT
blob.PT
Anybody knows where is the recovery file and how can I do to make it flashable?
EDIT: I guess recovery is not in the blob file but in a recovery folder containing recovery-from-boot.p

I have successfully flashed twrp 3.0 using adb but when i reboot to recovery, i keep getting cyanogenmod recovery. Romtoolbox even says twrp is my current recovery. What's the deal? I want to make a backup using TWRP before I flash anything. How do I go back to TWRP?
Thanks!!!

Got it...I used flashify to flash the recovery and it worked. Not sure why ADB didn't flash properly...i'm sure it was user error! Thanks for the suggestion!!
