would really help if everyone could but high level moderators for tegra note device thread

Thanks Shaky for the efforts.

I agree with Tegra having its own thread, especially since so many OEM outlets will be selling this tablet and other iterations, like the coming Phone version of the Tegra 114i SoC.

OP Updated with link to v2, although image is flipped so its sitting correctly, the device resolution is somewhat not set correctly so the CWM recovery looks out of shape a little but this doesnt affect the functionality of CWM

Also OP updated with link to OTA in zip file format fully factory... ENjoy :)

That is weird...
fresh compile test here is another TWRP test: http://d-h.st/Y9u

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
allot it to boot into your Android OS
adb reboot recovery, (TWRP should boot)

C:\Development\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130729\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot fl
ash recovery TWRP-2-recovery.img
target reported max download size of 641728512 bytes
sending 'recovery' (8384 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.311s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: (InvalidSize))
finished. total time: 0.335s


FAILED (remote: (InvalidSize)) looks like the recovery partition is pretty small. didnt notice it the first time I flashed it. witch is probably why I am still on CWM. Note Stock recovery is 8192KB but this one fails every time.

Something isnt right, I need more than 1 tester to test TWRP on their device as it could be a user error,

Guess i can be your second tester. Ill try this when i get home today. My bootloader is already unlocked and im rooted.

Edit: I dont even have CWM loaded so this will be fresh attempt strait to TWRP

    Thank you for the update Shaky.
    Looks like there's a little glitch now that the display is flipped correctly. Apparently on my device there's a part on the right that is not flipped, and also that part belongs to the left side off the screen.
    Here's a screen shot to illustrate it.
    Hi I'm aware of the issue, I always test before release, minor graphic glitch does not affect using the recovery, will attempt to fix on next update :)

    Thanks.

    Firstly a big thanks to Pacattack and Tomsgt for all the help they have given me over our problem with installing the latest ota.
    Much appreciated by a complete novice to fastboot, updater scripts etc.
    I have finally successfully installed the ota using Tomsgts tool.
    Had a couple of worrying moments when it all seemed to freeze but made it in the end.
    Thanks once again.
    Cheers,
    drc.
