So your trying to flash it as a boot.img? Amon Ra should be flashed as fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. Also if your on stock HBoot i think you need a modified HBoot for fastboot commands or unlocked eve on S-Off

Do you have a stock HBoot? if so i think it has to be unlocked for fastboot commands even on s-off unless you have a modified Hboot that allows for fastboot commands while locked.

Well if your bootloader is locked i would unlock it or get a modified bootloader that allows fastboot commands while locked. If those dont work then youll have to ask a dev
somehow i didnt even notice that was locked. ok got recovery on. now going to try and get a rom on it. with all this headache i almost miss my GNex but it has tons of issues

Hi Everyone,
First I apologize if this isn't the right place to post this, please move it to the correct forum if it's not.
I have a Asus TF700 (running the latest Asus firmware) the, warranty just ran out so I figured it was time to unlock and play with some custom roms.
I got it unlocked using the Asus bootloader tool, I went to install CWM using fastboot and it seemed to go OK but then when I went to reboot the bootloader it failed giving me a write failure. Now when I try to boot up recovery it briefly shows the android guy in working mode then goes to the error with the android laying on his back.
Here is my commands with fastboot:
C:\adb>adb reboot bootloader
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (6688 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.483s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 2.409s]
finished. total time: 4.893s
C:\adb>fastboot reboot-bootloader
rebooting into bootloader...
FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 0.636s
C:\adb>adb reboot bootloader
error: device not found
And that's it, I'm a bit stumped not sure how to fix it so I can move onto installing the roms, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone?

Yes, if I hadn't then I wouldnt have been able to use fastboot or install CWM.
No one? I thought this was the android super stars forum.
Can someone at lease suggest another forum with people willing to help?
Not a single person willing to help me out? Wow, thanks.

Does this method work with firmware ver S029. I am already rooted with kingoapp. But Flashfire app shows boot loader partitions to be protected . I suspect bootloader to be Locked. In such senario will this method work or will it brick my phone.
I also have another question if flash TWRP recovery on locked bootloader anyway, will it only fail to boot into recovery mode or will device fail to boot normally altogether
and it does boot normally then if i reflash stock recovery back on locked bootloader will that fix the issue of booting into recovery mode.

This method will work ver S029 also. To flash recovery you need unlocked bootloader.
Well, I'm getting an error - (remote: not allowed), every time I try to boot the recovery.

This link gives you stock firmware. I too have deleted my backup but used it to get it back. But however I faced problems like boot loop many times and even IMEI turned 000000000000000 for both sim slots but still it was recovered by using "MTK Engineering Mode" app which you can get from "Play Store" and follow the following steps.
Step 1) Open the the MTK Engineer mode app and swipe left side to go into Connectivity.
Step 2) In the Connectivity click on the CDS information.
Step 3) And then Tap on the Radio information.
Step 4) Then you will be able to see Phone 1 and Phone 2
Step 5) Just click on Phone 1 first. then enter the Command as AT +EGMR=1,7,"your first imei" (Put a Space between AT and +, Like AT +EGMR=1,10,"your imei") and then tap on SEND AT COMMAND it will show you that command sent,
Step 6) Now press back button and Tap on Phone 2 (if you have a Dual Sim phone) and Type AT +EGMR=1,10,"second imei" and tap on send at command.
Step 7) Now Just Restart you device and enjoy now Sim Card will Display the Network in the status bar.
And you are done!!!!!!!!!
You can see your IMEI by pressing *#06#
If you face boot loop problems again and again please inform me.
Just the problems I faced. They are the solutions. Please do reply to this message.
Okay thank you. I will try it. Thanks a lot

Please do ask if you get any problems coz my device is same and I've tried with 3-4 different ROMs including stock so can help you with many problems.

You can also root Lenovo Vibe P1m using SP Flash Tool. I've done the same and changed recovery from stock to TWRP easily without using any commands. Device works flawlessly and currently have installed MiUI 8 custom ROM.

Fastboot command given for flash recovery is wrong.
The right command is
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Second recovery is the name of your recovery. If your recovery name is twrp then command is
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Guys... If your device is new version (s036 pre installed) , use TWRP3 only.
