Seemed to have deleted the stock recovery.img for the TF701T and can't get into anything. Fastboot flashing objects doesn't work either.
I am going to flash a recovery.img and then see If I can get it to install the stock ZIP from ASUS.
Need stock recovery.img first. US Edition or WW edition would work.
You can get it here: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3210
Even better: You can dl a working CWM recovery from there, but how are you gonna flash it if you have no fastboot????

Unlocked rooted xperiaz..
installed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190936
(tried also with cwm)
After entering recovery cwm or twrp i can choose ROM: (tried paranoid android)
I'm on the latest stock firmware btw... 244..
After flashing i only get a red light, and nothing else works.. can get to flas mode and flash stock ROM, but everytime i try a custom rom it fails..
Where am i going wrong? I Know i **** up somewhere, but can't see where...
Try flashing the Kernel from Paranoid Android by itself. Inside the rom's zip there ahould be an image called boot.img. Flash via fasboot on Flashtool.
Now enter recovery and follow the normal procedure.
First of all that link to TWRP is for locked bootloaders. You need to have an unlocked bootloader to install a custom rom
To get recovery just flash the boot.img which is inside the rom .zip folder
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then enter recovery and flash the zip then gapps.
Hey guys!
So, I've been thinking of doing the new update.
If I flash the stock recovery img and do a factory reset, then do the update, flash TWRP and then re-root, will that work?
If so, where can I find the recovery img? Sprint system dump?
EDIT: Flashed recovery.img and system.img from stock firmware, flashed update.zip through stock recovery, then flashed back TWRP, rooted and good to go! :good::laugh:
I also have an unlocked bootloader fyi.

do you happen to still have a copy of the sprint img or firmware? If so, can you please update.
Hi all,
I am a HTC guy and I'm not that familiair with the Asus way of flashing things.
So just to make sure I'm not doing something wrong here.
I want to go back to full stock including recovery and stuf. I have a WW version of the TF701.
What I found online is this:
- Flash http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3210 in recovery.
- flash latest WW update from Asus site.
Is this the correct and safe way?
Thanks
Frnas
Yep. That should work. Flash stock recovery, then flash stock rom.
Stock recovery? Is that included in the file from Droid basement?

Nope. But the flashable stock recovery is on the same page you posted.
CWM won't flash the stock firmware - I thought. But Droidbasement says otherwise... Try it and let us know!
AH, glad I asked it.. So I must:
- flash the recovery from droidbasement in CWM
- flash the ROM from droidbasement in the flashed recovery
- flash the latest ROM from the asus site
That's the right order?
I haven't looked at your link but I don't think you can flash the stock recovery from cwm. You will need to fastboot flash the recovery from your computer.

The instructions at Droidbasement state that the 4.3 OTA is flashable from CWM. But you have to be on the latest version 6.0.5.1.
Maybe they fixed it. With earlier versions it was not possible to flash Asus firmware in CWM, but these guys know a lot more than I do, so I would trust them.
You do have to be on the 10.26.1.18 bootloader though!
The site states it's a full system/kernel flash so it probably won't replace CWM with stock recovery - don't know.
Check once you flashed the OTA.
And don't forget to wipe /data in CWM before you flash anything.
Can someone help me find the download for a good working newest as is stable copy of TWRP that I can flash? Also, I would appreciate finding the stock recovery so I can always install it back again if I need to. With my S4 mini I found some guide that let me take the recovery I extracted from the stock firmware image and turn that recovery file into a version that odin can use, something about embedding hashes or something? Not sure. So if I can just download the stock recovery that would be helpful instead of having to flash the entire firmware.
Or is there a way to selectively only flash the recovery from the entire image?

Thanks. Do you know a method for me to obtain the true default recovery?
sorry, I don't understand... Do you need original recovery?
If I install TWRP and want to return to stock recovery, how would I do that? All ROMs floating around dont have the recovery.img file... am I stuck with TWRP?
flash stock boot.img.
recovery is built within boot.img.
Oh awesome. I didn't know that. When I had the MotoG3, it had a separate recovery.img
