Thanks for the help. Will give it a shot, but I am going to miss the o/c.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
Yeah, unfortunately it seems to be stability vs speed atm. Things will change soon I feel.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jthompson0019:
I recently rooted and flashed prime thinking that it may fix a keyboard problem. Could someone help because I still am not getting auto correct, capitalize or punctuation. Is this a keyboard issue or does it not do this (yet)? I do have the boxes checked in settings for those features.

So, just to be clear: nvflash method will wipe everything right ? Why not just restore 3 partitions manually ?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1129308

Is r2 exactly like r1 only for nvflash?

Didn't notice the changelog. :P
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
Sure you could just flash the partitions manually if you wanted to.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] aligatro2010:
Sorry if I sounded rude. But I think many people would want/expect it to do an upgrade instead of complete erase + reflash. So, this might turn into surprise after they find out that their files are gone. Of course, this will be their own responsibility/fault, blah blah blah. However, I think you should put a small warning in the op.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
If you want to update you should just flash the rom over your previous one in CWM. No need to flash roms Nvflash style every time.

Boot looping troubles - is this the correct fix

New to the Transformer (and the tegra platform), but not new to Android Hacking (my HTC Aria runs the latest CM7.1 nightlies). Anyway I have unfortunately managed to quickly need learn how to unbrick my wife's device using NVflash. So after I got back to the latest stock release, I decided I would try the latest Prime 1.6r2. I even checked my MD5 checksums. Anyway, I booted into CWM, nandroided, flashed just the main 1.6r2 file, and rebooted. I wanted to ROM to boot up and stabilize before flashing the Netformer 1.5 kernel.

While the TF was booted I think the only thing I did was check out the input settings app and turn on tap-to-click. I then long-pressed the power button, and since the recovery option was there I thought why not. Bad choice. The TF proceeded to boot loop (would show the Eee Pad screen with the Nvidia logo at the bottom for about 3 seconds and then reboot, continuously). I could hold down volume - button and get the recovery notification text to come up, press the volume + button, but then it would just continue to reboot.

So now I have it in APX mode by hooking up the sync cable holding down the power and volume + buttons (even while it continued to bootloop) until I hear my Windows 7 desktop recognize APX mode. My current plan of attack is to follow the links / advice from this thread [SOLVED] Stuck in APX mode, can't boot into CWM. I'm posting this while I wait for the nvflash version of Prime 1.6r2 to download.

My questions are:

1) Did I miss something along the way or does using the reboot into recovery option often make this happen? For my Aria it is recommended to manually enter recovery by powering down then powering up while holding down the volume - button - is this also recommended for the TF?

2) Is the recovery method outlined above the best route to return my TF from paperweight state?

Thanks for any advice offered. Screwing up or breaking something unfortunately is often the quickest way to learn.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
Use Nvflash to start from scratch. I don't know what happened with your rom. That's never happened to me. I also never used the input settings thing so don't know whats up with that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] aligatro2010:
For CWM you need CWM in recovery partition and microsd card. For nvflash you only need usb cable and correct set of tools.

And what about people that don't have microsd ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
Damn dude buy one. 20 bucks for 16 gb or 49 for 32 gb. You spent $400 for a tablet. Spend a little more for convenience.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
You can't even make a backup without a card. Depending on Nvflash as you main way to manage roms is the wrong way to go about it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] aligatro2010:
I own one, because someone gave it to me as gift for my cellphone. And 20 bucks can be spent on something more useful(for me) like screen protector or leather case or maybe even usb gadget.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Gabes Dad:
I agree with david279 - Nvflash can be a lifesaver (successfully recovered from issues above), but I would much rather use CWM untethered to my computer and much more user friendly than nvflash. Also current methods of nvflash wipe your data (probably for good reason when unbricking).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Blades:
nvflash backed up images are mountable via loop device.. everything is very flexible. The requirement of a computer does restrict its use as a backup tool in terms of mobility.. but other than that, its perfect
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] finalhit:
anyone else having problems with CIFSManager, and SOD?

it seems whenever i mount a share, and my TF goes to sleep, i get SOD.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] aligatro2010:
Actually there is a tutorial for reflashing individual partitions using nvflash. It doesn't nuke your data. So, there is no good reason, it just blindly recreates and reformats every partition on your tablet and uploads new firmware. That method is only useful when you want to resize them or when memory is completely blank and you need to recreate the structure.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Gabes Dad:
Are you referring to this thread as the tutorial: [DEV][nvflash] Full backup/restore your Transformer!? Maybe it's a bit over my head, but I didn't see any Windows batch scripts so perhaps I should wait for a more friendly version to come along. Is there some other tutorial you are referring to that you can point me in the right direction?

Also found an NVflash GUI created over at MoDaCo Forums, but it doesn't have clear directions for flashing custom images and whether or not its scripts maintain the data partition.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] nickwarn:
Damn, are you for real? How could that be more usefull then clokwork recovery access. Go by an sd card, you cheap bastard:)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Globespy:
I flashed just the standard zip file from micro sd card, and not NVFlash and I have working cwm.

So I didn't need to do NVFlash.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bud77:
No problem for me, except a drain on battery (which is normal)

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sh337:
Hi!

First of all great ROM!

Like someone pointed out earlier in the thread, I too am having problems with VPN clients that use the tun.ko module since I upgraded to 1.6.

The module is there and seems to "insert" correctly, although I see this with "dmesg":

[ 690.221496] tun: version magic '2.6.36.4-ga503678-dirty SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.36.3-00011-g3eb19ec SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '

I tried two clients (Annyconnect from Cisco and VPN Connections), and both fail to connect.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] aligatro2010:
You execute them exactly the same way as on linux except remove ./ infront of each line. But you need executable for windows. Soyou can just download nv for windows but dont execute bat file.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Blades:
The default boot.img has a ton of modules in the /sbin folder and calls to load them on init(.ventana.rc)

Indeed it helps. Thx
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jangjong:
I heard Roach's transformer died today
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jefbal99:
I had the SU beta installed with 1.5. After flashing 1.6, I had the older binary with the newer apk. The binary won't update successfully. I sent alogcat to ChainsDD to look into it.

I tried the uninstall reinstall that was suggested, but its still giving the same result. Root works, but it won't remember any settings.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
It's working again :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] aatrek:
As a developer, how long does it take before you have access to the 3.2 stock ROM to work on it? Just as long as it takes for your own Transformer to receive the update?

(I'm just curious, this is NOT asking for an ETA on your next rom!)

:)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
I have been using the US rom as a base and I get WW updates so first I need someone to do send me the dlpkgfile from the US rom. If anyone can send me that I can get to work on it after that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] aatrek:
How do you get that information? Just a LogCat file from when the update is downloaded?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sasha101:
Just flashed this rom after wiping everything, on average how long does it take to finally turn on?

Idk if im stuck on a bootloop or what cause its been like 15 minutes. This is the second time trying...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hyperxguy:
May I ask what you did to get out of that problem (changing bootloader.ini ?).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
Should take but a few minutes. Check MD5Sum
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] poussinou69:
Roach, Can you share with us the ww update plz ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gobluewolverines4:
will we receive the 3.2 update tomorrow if this rom is flashed?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] reisa:
No, Roach's ROM removes the ASUS auto-update ... but just wait a few -- I'm sure he'll update accordingly ;-)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
Last time round it was identical except it was missing the new Video app. Is that what you would prefer?

Don't worry, nothing will be missing from any Rom I release, it never has before and I don't plan on changing that anytime soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
I'm actually curious as to whether Prime will register the update. I don't think it will but I've been wrong before. It's no big deal anyway, if it does, please send me the dlpgkfile from /cache :p
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kasimodo:
Find! Thx.

Indeed, with the good words it's easier ;)

FYI, Ext2explore works fine: http://ext2read.blogspot.com/
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sparven89:
Sure thing!

Where will it be?

System folder?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] poussinou69:
Ok, i thought your 3.2 WW was the true Asus release.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] AngryDinosaur:
so 3.2 won't be a leak it will be a firmware update this time right?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Globespy:
$49 for a 32gb? I'm assuming that it's Class 4 or 6 at best?

I think I spent $90 on my Class 10 32gb (Lexar) - of course I wonder if the TF can utilize the faster card speed?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Q.Entity:
I think the difference in speed only apply to write ops. Can someone please confirm?

Skickat från min ASUS Eee Pad TF101
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
I seen people having problems with class 10 32 gb cards so I got a class 6 32 gb card from newegg. Just being safe.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] furyhawk:
There's a benchmark on the web that state class 10 is best for faster block read write. But they sacrifices random read write.therefore class

4-6 best for pda devices

Hey guys I can't seem to read NTFS formatted MicroSD? I read in a thread I created about the issue that the kernel needs to be a custom kernel. I have Prime 1.6r2 installed but it cannot read the MicroSD when formatted to NTFS on my Winbox card reader.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
Try Netformers kernel
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hoangtu2410:
It's different between Micro Sd card and SD card , all kernel i tried only support NTFS SD card (on the dock)

Roach, you rock. I will donate as soon as my rent check clears xP
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] al2x:
Already on the edge of my seat for the next release! Make it happen (possibly quick!) :P thanks for all the work on the ROM!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] CelticWebSolutions:
Hopefully today is the day for 3.2! Hopefully somebody packages it up for cwm so we can install quickly on rooted devices :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bud77:
I'd rather not expect it for today by Roach

He's not the kind of person to rush for something, he always release very tested stuff :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
Plus I'm going out tonight after work for some beers :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] yizhaq79:
my treat this time roach!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SalsaForte:
Can't wait run PRIME with Android 3.2.

Keep doing your good work!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dburg84:
waiting for Roach to make hole weak! :D

And it is compatible :)

I can test the ROM for you before releasing it if you want to make sure ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] marinor:
curious

So I'm curious what is the benefit of prime? I'm not completely lost when it comes to ROMs as I had a droid rooted, ROMed, and overclocked for a long time before I finally got a new phone.

I've had the tf in stock now for a couple months (or however long this thing has been on the market), I'm just curious what I get if I through Prime on.

Besides the speed increase with an overclocked kernel and root access, is there something Roach has been able to enable that isn't enabled in the stock system?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ondoy1943:
Why don't you revisit the 1st and 2nd posts and digest slowly what roach had stated?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] FabioRochapt:
Cifs and voodoo

Cifs = Acess shared partitions (Get files from shared folder on your windows computer)

Voodoo = Volume up your transformer

Two that are important to me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sh337:
Is that related somehow? I'm not sure I understand your point... :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
Blades is just pointing out that since Prime1.6 used a stock rom, I added the extra modules that are usually compiled in a custom kernel in the boot image.

This way even if you use the stock kernel, you get the benefits of cifs/tun/voodoo but should you install a custom kernel that has these built in, the OS does not try and (fail to) load the modules.

The reason for the error about tun.ko in dmesg is because they were not matched to the kernel version. This won't make any difference matter since the kernel should be cross-compatible with the modules.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sh337:
AH! :D I get it.

Then it must something else, because it's working great on 1.5, but not on 1.6.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] donklaos:
So can I just update my 1.5 to your new 3.2 or has a new wipe including loss of all system data to be done? What are the steps to do?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
It might be something bizarre because they are in /sbin

When I do my next rom I'll put tun.ko back into /lib/modules in case it makes a difference

I also have access to a work vpn now so I can test this myself.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sh337:
It could be that the programs are looking for the module in /lib/modules, regardless if they are inserted or not.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] s1nglebarrell:
So just another follow up to the Talk video chat. And I will preface this with the fact I am not sure if this is Talk's behavior issue or what. During a video call neither party (both using a transformer with the patched GTalk) can mute the audio which is weird.

Another weird thing which is not necessarily a bad thing is that both parties could hear and talk to each other with out plugging in a mic. Now if I am not mistaken the Asus Transformer has no "mic" outside of the converged headphone/mic jack. So bonus I guess :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timtlm:
The TF has a mic. It's that tiny hole between the headphone jack and hdmi port. Did you think it was magic that allowed you to hear each other? :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] s1nglebarrell:
Well i saw the little hole but just figured it was a rest button. So yes i thought some pixie dust was involved :-)

can someone running this rom go to the market and search "columnar" and see what they come up with? Apparently I was able to select my bone stock TF (which i had to RMA) on the web market as the install target but i was not able to do so for my current one running Prime. Searching for columnar on the device market comes up with 2 apps that have nothing to do with it.

Tun.ko in Prime! 1.2/1.3

Hello. I have a few questions about getting VPNC working on my EEE Pad w/ dock. Last night I rooted the device and everything seemed to work fine. I followed the root and Prime instructions verbatim and I now have Prime V1.2 loaded and superuser is working. The problem I am running in to has to do with the missing tun.ko module.

I was under the impression that the Prime! builds had TUN/CIFS/NTFS included in the kernel build. I thought that this was included in V1.3, but I went ahead and rolled back to V1.2 because it was the only version that listed these features. I installed VPNC last night, but it is complaining that the tun.ko module is not accessible by root. I checked /system/lib/modules and there is no such module available. Running lsmod also yields no results.

I tried the tun.ko module that someone else cross compiled for Honeycomb on XDA, but I am getting an error when I insmod this file. Can anyone give me an idea of what I'm doing wrong? I was really hoping to get this working to access CISCO VPN with a group password.

Hopefully the TUN feature is included in Prime V1.3 as well and I am just doing something wrong. I'd like to stay as current as possible on the builds.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] egzthunder1:
I merged the thread that you opened with the PRIME thread as it is a question for the rom dev. I figured I would do this rather than sending your question to general as you will likely get more help. Plus, this seems good feedback for Roach2010.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
v1.3 does indeed have the custom kernel with tun support built in. Unfortunately I don't have access to any CISCO VPN's to test with but I can see the tun module loaded in the /dev folder so I know that it's there.

Also the documentation for VPNC states that you should run the software from the Widget and not as an APP, hope this helps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Tjwoo:
was anyone able to pull the dock battery meter update off of 208 and compile onto current vers?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ivan.volosyuk:
Quick question: I noticed that individual notification icons are disappeared after I flashed Prime1.3. Instead I need to open list of notifications clicking on WiFi indicatior. Is it bug of Prime, Asus .13 firmware or specific to my configuration?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
Yeah, I just assumed that the /dev/net/tun that was the important bit.

You could try copying the module into /lib/modules to see if it makes a difference.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] majorassface:
If you move it to /lib/modules, don't forget to do insmod!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
Unfortunately it's already loaded from the boot.img so before you can do that you would have to edit the init.ventana.rc in the ramdisk.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sh337:
I tried both copying and creating a symbolic link and it didn't work.

I even renamed the module in /sbin and no go.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
Again, you need to change the ramdisk in the boot image to do this.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sh337:
While the tablet is running I remounted both the /system and rootfs as rw, then I copied the module to /lib/modules. After that I rmmod tun, deleted the file from /sbin. modprobe tun worked and the module got inserted. It still didn't work. I'm going to flash 1.5 again and see if I notice something different.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sh337:
Shameless bump!

I just re-flashed 1.6r2, and I see that the tun in /dev and /dev/net have different permissions in the two ROMs.
