first of all, reposting on multiple forums will get you ignored by most peole
secondly, your statement is extremely hard to read, i suggest you don't speak english.
lastly, we need more information. are you getting errors in the install? is this the first time you're flashing? what rom did you flash that started the issue?
-what you can try now-
Try flashing a rom with TWRP instead of CWM, i've seen issues with CWM that TWRP doesn't have. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1615990)
Use NVFLASH to flash your backed up files. If you didn't backup with NVFLASH prior to all this work then, sir, you should not be flashing in the first place and maybe this is the lesson you need.

ok sorry friend but my english is not good, I commented that when installing a rom gives me no problems, the installation ends well and seems to install something, when I asked to restart the tablet back to the recovery ..
how install the TWRP as if I have no operating system?

I have the Evo LTE S-on (HTC bootloader unlocked) and TWRP installed. The only problem I'm having is that I cannot seem to get .zip files to open from the install menu in TWRP (recovery). I factory reset and try to open the zip from the install menu but it just says "Failed". Specifically I am trying Kushdeck's new CM10 ROM. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
PS. Not sure if this will help but on the install menu my files show up twice, the first time with the normal naming and the second with "/." in front of them.
Did u try and re download it again? Sounds like a bad DL if it keeps failing after a couple of attempts
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
Ok I'm trying that now. I'm also wondering if there's a problems with my /ext-sd because everytime I factory reset it says it couldn't access that. Do you think that has anything to do with it? Is reinstalling TWRP an option?
Ok thanks so much the re-download did it. But now I'm at a black/blank screen after start up. I factory reset, installed the CM10 ROM then Gapps and wiped the dalvik/cache. Then when I reboot it just goes to the HTC screen and after that nothing. Ideas?
This is going to sound strange but try factory restet, wipe cache/dalvik and then just reboot without trying to flash anything.. I've been having some similar issues as mine isn't recoglizing any MD5 when i try to flash a new rom.. I wiped my phone and have tried to flash a few roms and it fails every time and in wiping my phone it somehow took out my backup so without any other options (that I knew of) I just rebooted and luckily it loaded a completely bare vipor rom like what I started out with when I originally rooted.. BTW, did you create a backup before trying to flash? Should always make a backup....
Ya I had backed up. Turns out I needed to manually flash the boot.img which fixed the issue

Thanks for this. I had the same problem, (S-ON, TWRP. black screen on boot). I was able to flash stock-based ROMs, but not CM10, so I suspected it had something to do with the things that HTCDev won't allow the recovery access to, but the logs from TWRP didn't throw any errors, so while I suspected boot, I didn't know what to do about it. And everyone knows that it's easy to be caviler with everything is working, but as soon as you start having problems, you get gun shy about trying things.
Your post was the solution for me. Extract the boot.img file found inside the zip or your chosen ROM, and flash it using fastboot:
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"

The problema you have it's a recovery Bootloop, it's normal and it's totally fixable, you have to read some posts before making a new thread, cause this problem has been post already, anyway:

This is a development forum... please use Q&A or General for help...
In any case, follow option 1A here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514088
Agree with Diamondback, this happened to me. This usually happens when you boot into recovery from ROM Manager rather than a cold boot. For some reason rebooting through ROM Manager sets some flags which prevents reboot.
Hi!
Today my phone rebooted and stucked in fastboot mode. No recovery, no reboot is possible I don't know why...
So, I tried to download clockworkmod flashable img, and tried to flash it with:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7-p500.img
But I receive a wrong dimension error. If after that I try another time to flash, it get stuck apparently sending the image (but in fact it doesn't send anything). If I reboot the situation doesn't change.
How can I get outside this loop, preferrably without flashing the original image?
Thank you!
there are guides for it all over the forum
No, if you read all my message i said that i receive that message, and this situation isn't covered in any of the forum guides.
Anyway, i succeded flashing the amon-ra recovery, then the clockworkmod recovery again and from that I could access my installed system without troubles (and after a nandroid backup of course).
I leave this if everyone else happens to see that error message. For me some patience, amon-ra and not the standard guides worked!

Happy for you, although maybe you had a bad file or something.. who knows at least you're good now
btw, when it happend to me i didn't use the guides in here as well, CMW did work.
I created this thread because I have looked all over and have been unable to find someone with the exact same issue(s).
I said "sort of" in the title because twrp is working. Ok, so before everyone asks if I have nvflash, the answer is no. I did not have the right version of firmware, and did not try to install it originally. Since I was able to install roms, I figured I was fine...oops.
Twrp is not properly installing roms. More on that later. I am getting to the asus splash screen that says my device is unlocked, but it is stuck there.
My last working rom was the deodexed stock JB rom from craig gomez. I installed it with goo and when I installed that, I lost custom recovery and root, so I decided to go back to a more custom rom so Titanium backup would work. When I did that, I tried also tried again to make nvflash work. I got through the first step, it said it was successful, except I never got the little message in the upper left corner that I was supposed to get. I did not think it was a big deal because my prime would still boot like normal.
Then I installed twrp 2.3.1.0 and I have tried flashing previous restore images. I have tried installing the roms on my sdcard. I cannot get past the asus splash screen.
If I try installing a rom with the force md5 check enabled, it does detect an md5 and then quits.
If I try intalling a rom without the force md5 check, i get an error that says E:Unable to mount '/staging'
When I try installing a backup everything seems to work okay, but then I get the same error E:Unable to mount '/staging'
When I try to install roms through fastboot, I get the following errors:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
When I try using adb, I do not see any devices.
I tried putting CWM on the prime to see if I could install from that instead, but it would not load after install.
I tried putting an older version of twrp on the prime, to see if that was the issue because I used to have an older version...I could not get that to load either...so I went back to this version.
Any ideas or suggestions would be awesome guys. I am stuck.
I even went to install the naked drivers again, and when I try to flash a different recovery, I get the <waiting for device> text that never goes away.
i'm sort of on the same boat. my prime just keeps booting into twrp recovery no matter what i tried. i'm still hoping to find a solution to this problem.

For me, I can let it try to boot normally, but I get stuck at the splash screen. This device is unlocked.
If I hold down the volume down button, I can go to fastboot, or RCK for recovery...but it does not work properly.

Same Here.. It all happened when i restored my files using titanium backup and when i rebooted im stuck at boot scrren
EDIT: Guys I did a prime fullwipe and flashed stock jb and now prime is restored to its original state..
""I also got some errors like md5 file could not be found and could not find the /staging""..but after the reboot it works perfect
EDIT 1: Now after the prime fullwipe and flashing stock jb i flashed twrp recovery and now it works perfect without a single error even the above mentioned errors were gone

That doesn't really help us. If possible, can you edit/delete your message so that the guys that might help do actually help? Don't want them to think this is done.
Can you clarify what the Prime fullwipe is and how you got there?
I do not know if it will help me.
I can't even do the wipe command from fastboot.
Just says <waiting for device>
I have tried the wipe command form the boot screen (the one with fastboot and RCK as options), that did not work properly either.

here is what i did. get into twrp recovery. flashed full prime wipe -> right after that flash the stock jb US version directly dled from Asus -> reboot then you will be stuck at the splash screen (that's a good news). Hold down power + volume down until your prime turns off and restart (keep holding those two keys) until the 3 icons appear then flash w/e rom you want in recovery. It's alive!
In twrp I do not see anything that says Full Prime Wipe. I see something that says wipe. Are those the same? I tried doing a wipe from this screen, but it did not work for me as expected.

no full wipe is a stand alone zip file you have to google and find dl it. put it in your prime then flash it
Thanks. That is what I needed to know.
I will see if I can make this work when I get back from work.

I am pretty sure I am F***ed.
I tried the prime full wipe. It worked the first time, I think. Then went to install a rom.
I had to do both through external SD in twrp because my adb is not working. Also, fastboot only works to install a recovery. The only version of any recovery I can make work is twrp 2.3.1.0
If I try an older version or CWM, it freezes where I try to go into recovery.
Unable to mount data error.
Unable to mount system error.
Same as before.
I tried using unbricker software I found, but since adb does not work properly, the software does not work properly.
I am going to see if I can work my charm and get them to take back my tablet at best buy for an infinity. I have read about other people pulling it off.
I think as we get closer to xmas my odds improve...UNLESS SOMEONE HAS ANOTHER IDEA??? I would love to try something else.
Eyeballer suggested a chat room channel thing, but most of the people are in europe and I would need to do it in the morning...I do not have time for that, but I may try it.

Download the zip:
http://goo.gl/hiFHB
Goto to Twrp recovery and install the zip..Since it supports microsd u can transfer the zip to microsd.
Goto TWRP -> INSTALL -> CHOOSE EXTERNAL SD -> INSTALL THE ZIP
It will completely wipe the internal storage and then download the official STOCK JB FROM ASUS SITE and follow the same steps to install. Now install the latest twrp recovery using fastboot

When I was doing the fullwipe the same errors happened to me.. But dont mind..I got errors like
1. No md5 file found
2. Mount error
3. Cannot find /staging
Just follow the above the steps ull get it right
did you even follow my step by step guide? you can move the stock rom from external SD to your internal SD in advance -> file manager.

Yeah, I should have said I tried that first. I also tried the stock rom from asus. When that didn't work, I tried the stock rom deodexed I found in goo.
There are a bunch of permission errors going on inside my prime. When I go into the mount area, it will not let me mount the data to move it. Or, when I try to copy it over I get a failed message.
Okay. I wiped it again, from twrp.
Then it let me move the file from the ext-sdcard to the sdcard.
I used the prime full wipe.
Then I tried to install the stock rom by transferring it in twrp file manager.
I got the file onto the sdcard, but when i tried to install, it said Failed.
That was it.
I even tried installing the ICS version I got from ASUS. Same thing.
Now, I am going to try to access via unbricker...don't know if it will work, but I am out of ideas.

That is the last rom I successfully used.
I used all sorts of different wipes. I was in twrp and noticed my pc installing the transformer adb driver. So I hopped into adb to see if it would see my device with that driver. (it did, but it wasn't before from the fastboot or adb commands with naked driver).
I tried sideloading the above rom from twrp. It worked.
Thought others might want to know.
I do not know if I can install other roms or not. I am a little scared to try just yet.

You will have the jelly bean bootloader now so as long as you stick to it you should be fine. The only other thing I would suggest is check you version of twrp, you should be running the jelly bean version of it also. And if I am not mistaken, you need to be on ics to use nvflash (although I haven't checked the op recently so I could be wrong) so definitely stay away from that unless you downgrade.
