[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Dees_Troy:
Asus finally dropped the kernel source for Android 4.2. I have compiled a new kernel based on the new sources with the usual hacks to expose boot and recovery. I believe that this version will work with external sdcards, etc

http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf300t/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob

http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf300t/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.img

I have tested it on my TF700T but I don't have a TF300T. I strongly suspect that this version will also work on the 4.1 bootloader based on what we've seen with the TF700T. If someone points me to a copy of just the TF300T 4.2 bootloader I will try installing it on my TF700T (I have nvflash) or if someone with nvflash and the 4.1 bootloader would be so kind as to test this 4.2 build against the 4.1 bootloader I would greatly appreciate it. Please PM me as I don't often check this thread. Thanks.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] EndlessDissent:
You mean a warning in bright red font like this?

Yeah, the OP should really have one of those...

And PAC-Man is an AOSP ROM. It can be 4.2 independently of the bootloader.

Guys, don't try to install the 2.5.0.0 for 4.2 version. The guy must have mixed up TF700T with TF300T. Look what I got:

The last Asus update gave me a funny bootloader. Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "US_epad-10.6.1.8-20130225" A03.

Any idea what this is and how to fix it? I found another thread where someone extracted the 4.2 loader out of the blob and I flashed it but it didn't change anything.

The flash completed but upon reboot I still have this weird bootloader.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] f69m:
Sounds like the 4.2 boot loader everyone is talking about. Nothing funny about it, using the wrong recovery with it may brick your device. Be careful.

Oh, well that was easy. I just remember the last one being much shorter and I thought I had a fudged up bootloader out of the deal. Well if that is the 4.2 then I guess I have no problems, except for the password in twrp thing, but I assume an update will fix that soon enough. Sheeez I was gonna mail it back to them to fix it. Disaster averted. :D
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] EndlessDissent:
You're on the 4.2 bootloader using the 2.5.0.0 that was just released? I flashed it on the 4.1 bootloader, and it wasn't like that. It looked fine and worked fine.

But you are on 4.1 bootloader , I'm on 4.2. That is the one that is switched

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] EndlessDissent:
Yeah, but I don't see why the resolution and everything would be so messed up, regardless of the bootloader, if we both flashed the same file. What would be different in the 4.2 bootloader that would cause resolution issues?

Putting the ILLA in KILLA since 1985
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
The resolution is messed up because it is made for TF700T. That happens when you flash a ROM for it on the TF300T , the screen is duplicated and unresponsive. I saw it happen a couple of times with other users

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Dees_Troy:
If I was using TF700T resolution then you would only see the top left corner of the screen instead of 2 screens split. The TF700T's resolution is much higher than the TF300T's.

I'm not sure what the deal is but I'm using the kernel source that Asus dropped on Tuesday with a few minor mods to expose the boot and recovery partitions. That build booted just fine on my TF700T without any of the split screen stuff that some are seeing. I don't have much time right now to look into it right now though.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] funnel71:
Looks like it's available on the site. Anyone on 4.2 try it yet?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pjc21:
Hey Dees_Troy,

If it helps the split-screen that joel has shown on 2.5.5.0-4.2 is the same screen that I expereniced on the first test build of 2.4.4.0-4.2 that I tested for you. So thinking whatever you did to fix that with the 2.4.4.0-4.2 build, should be the same fix here.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] stingwasted:
I also had the split screen issue. Hoping when that's fixed it won't ask for a password. I don't know if it got that far on mine bc it was totally unresponsive. Couldn't even slide the button to open it.But now that I think of it that slider came up when it asked for a password. Fudge. Recovery password go away! What a nightmare.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pcoussa:

Well... what is it that makes only the latest and greatest version useable?

Again, if you have a 4.2 bootloader use 2.4.4.0-4.2.

It works. Stable. No need to be fixed.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
is this running ok on 4.2.1 now ??
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] stingwasted:
Because the previous versions ask for a password and when you hit cancel I have 0mb of internal and 0mb of external memory. The new update should have fixed that, and it may have but I can't tell because the patched update is for tf700 and it has a split screen and freezes before I can get in to see on the tf300.

Hi! When i get the newest version of twrp? Because anythink doesn't mount
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] f69m:
The most common reason for this is not running TWRP *-4.2 on a 4.2 bootloader.

Make sure you have flashed the right version.

CAREFUL: Lots of people have bricked this way.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] aLkRicha:
i flashed the latest firmware and the latest recovery. What i can do with my problem?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] f69m:
Well, "the latest recovery" has three different versions for three different versions of the bootloader: -ics, -jb and -4.2. Which one did you pick? Why that one?

Please do a little search and reading, how to find the right version for you, and what the risks of picking the wrong version are. There are lots of threads in this forum that have this info.

It gets tiring to read and answer the same questions over and over again.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] aLkRicha:
i tried all versions amythink help me...
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] f69m:
Really? Wow, dangerous! ;)

Well, in that case, I am afraid you need to provide a little more information:

Which version of the bootloader are you running (search, if you don't know how to find out)?

What is the full filename of the TWRP you flashed (try to match it to your BL)?

What are the exact error messages you are getting?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] aLkRicha:
openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300tg-JB.blob (and other prefixes)

error - key driver not found.. booting os

bootloader can't find when can i see it,
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] f69m:
Well, OK, this looks like boot loader 4.2.

This error "key driver not found" is on the boot loader screen, right?

Never mind, that is normal.

At the end of the next line is a long version number starting with v10.6.*, right?

This definitely tells you, that you have BL 4.2.

You have a TF300TG?

You didn't mention that before.

I don't think TWRP *-4.2 is available for that yet, hmm.

Anyway, don't use the -jb version, it may brick your device.

So was your original question, when a TWRP *-4.2 will be available for the TF300TG?

Sorry, I can't answer this.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] aLkRicha:
yes, on the bootloader screen.

Android CardhU-USER bootloader <1.00 e> released by "WW_epad-10.6.2.3-20130402" A03

Yes, i have 300TG

What can i do, to normalize loading of the tablet?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] f69m:
Oh? So far you have not mentioned, that it is not booting normally. :rolleyes:

Possibly you have bricked it already?

Really sorry, if that happened to you too.

But again, please don't keep asking questions that have already been answered lots of times in lots of threads.

You can search and read, like everybody else, right?

In case your tablet is not loading (booting?) normally, just search for a thread that discusses those symptoms.

I am really sorry, I think I tried now hard enough to help you. If you don't come up with something that is clearly new and not answered elsewhere, I will no longer pollute this fine thread and will not answer again. I hope you understand.

Hey TWRP,

Just a quick question about the new TWRP 2.5.0.0-4.2

I see that the wipe menu has been updated and that it goes strait to an option to do a factory reset or you can go to advanced wipe and select the partitions you wish to wipe - however I can not seem to find an option now to wipe the internal storage :confused:

Under advanced wipe there are options for Dalvik cache, System, Cache, Data, Micro SDCard & SD-Ext but no Internal storage :confused:

Is the SD-Ext the Internal storage?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] EndlessDissent:
I'm pretty sure "Micro SD Card" is the internal storage, because "SD-ext" is always for the external SD card (external).
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pjc21:
No I tried this but it just wipes the micro sd card not internal storage - so there is now no way to wipe internal storage with twrp 2.5.0.0 :(
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] f69m:
Did you try to wipe Data?

If that wipes the whole /data partition, it will also wipe internal storage that is in /data/media/.

The factory reset usually wipes /data without wiping /data/media.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pjc21:
Yeah tried that too, I will try the format data option shortly and see if that does it.

Edit:

Ok the format data option will wipe the internal storage

I`ve a question, I was on 4.1.1 then I flashed TWRP 2.5.0.0, then Asus stock 4.2.1 version WW 10.6.1.8.

Since there was a mistype on the Asus website I flashed the wrong firmware.

Now from what I`ve read I think I need to flash WW 10.6.1.15, then TWRP 2.5.0.0, then to gain root flash SUupdate.ZIP.

The problem is now my TWRP has a double screen, so I can`t do anything in there.

I came across this post and this one, looks promising, what do you think?

Again I came across this looks like a fairly good option to try, at this stage I`ve seen so much options, I think I`m more confused, the more I search the more possibilities I find....sigh...

I`m really confused as to what I should do, in order to get 4.2.1 with a working TWRP and root, I`m aiming to flash CROMi....thanks for any help.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Mars73:
Mloc33, I had the same problem, double screen and with the 2.4.4 I could see my sdcard.

I guess it's the way how it is 'fastbooted' to the TF300.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mloc33:

Lots of them, and I am really sorry for them.

Just be sure to pick the right version of TWRP for your bootloader, and you are safe.

Pick the wrong one and use it... likely to get an expensive paper-weight.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Sib64:
The answer from the TWRP website:

The answer is clear, just take care when you download your version ;)

Choose the files version which is finished by -4.2
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] tmihai20:
[MENTION=2608699]philos64[/MENTION]: I have read the TWRP site and there is no -42 version for the TG300TG. I've read in a thread for the Grimlock ROM that version 2.5.0.0 is ok to be used with the 4.2.1 ROM, which is conflicting with what I know so far. I guess I will still wait for the -42 version for the TF300TG.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Sib64:
Indeed, that's the best you can do, except if you want to try for seeing if you can play with it and the eventuality to brick (soft or hard) your device...

I've read the thread about Grimlock rom, but I'm not convinced.

Sure this rom works well "apparently" but nothing to prove that the recovery 2.5.0.0. for TF300T play for a TG correctly.

In this sdcard you can find movies and games for my son.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] NeoMatrixJR:
The card works fine in android. In TWRP it won't load. It's because it's a UHC card I believe so it may not affect your lexar card.
