Oct 5, 2015 at 16:22 comment added Bernie Thank you both. The hint that such $G$ are of the form $f^{*}H$ was what I needed. This solves my problem completely. If someone will write a short answer, then I can accept it.
Oct 5, 2015 at 15:42 comment added t3suji Also, if you are just interested in sheaves such that $f^*f_*G\to G$ is an isomorphism, you can conclude that there are no higher direct images without needing flatness (in this situation). Namely, such sheaves are exactly sheaves of the form $f^*H$ for some $H$ (not necessarily locally free), and use the projection formula.
Oct 5, 2015 at 15:03 comment added Jason Starr There are many coherent sheaves on $\mathbb{P}(E)$ that are flat over $X$ yet not locally free. For instance, if $X$ is $\text{Spec}(\mathbb{C})$ itself, then every coherent sheaf on $\mathbb{P}(E)$ is flat over $X$. In another direction, for every section of $f$, $s:X\to \mathbb{P}(E)$, the coherent sheaf $s_*\mathcal{O}_X$ is flat over $X$. However, if a coherent sheaf $G$ is flat over $X$ and $f^*f_*G\to G$ is an isomorphism, then $G$ is of the form $f^*H$ for a locally free sheaf $H$ on $X$.
