Why are you using the mount-sdcard.zip, etc? For my install I just followed the instructions on the first page of this thread but used the files for CleanROM 3.2.x in it's thread:

Prepare sdcard: Partition 1, primary, unformatted partition as small as possible 2: primary, ext4, as big as possible.

Reboot to TWRP with card installed.

Install from sd: navigate to cromi-3.2.x-data2sd.zip (I had this on the TF700's internal storage) and add it to queue

If running _that's kernel also ADD: kernel-10.4.4.25-nodpi-data2sd.zip to queue

Apply

Clear cache, etc

Reboot

Done

Formatting the card was the hardest part. LOL.

Need Help

Ok so either am a retard or I just can get this right. First I upgrade to CROMI 3.3 then I ran a nandroid backup. I wipe everything I flash the data2sd then do I recover from my nandroid and my stuff is not there also I notice that in setting it only show my 64gb sd card my 32gb internal is not shown. Started the proceses again this time instal cromi from scratch then install the MOD and the OC kernerl reboot and if I go to setting it would show my 64gb for the system but also my 32gb has a regular card. So here is my question is there a way to restore a nandroid with data2sd and if I use this mod does my internal storage become useless???
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Boot to twrp, then flash 'mountdata2sd", then restore your backup, then flash your cromi_data2sd, bootup and done. Your internal stills available for you as a storage.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
This^^ Minitool scre**d my microSD as well, but I could remove the partitions with Minitool, and then reformat with gParted. Has been working fine since. <phew>

I was in the same boat. Seemingly unrecoverable filesystem, but with an entire evening of doggedly trying, I did actually get it to work again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] chrlop:
Thanks dude I don't know why I did not notice there were two files I was only flashing CROMI data2sd well now am up and working. 2 question which file explore you guys recommend since I see stock won't see my internal. 2 Which kernel to use to be OC.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
root explorer or ES file explorer.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Didn't work out so well for me. That old dead card has been long buried. I got a new card and used gParted, all is well. No problem setting the card up. Now I just need to do the data2SD work to start using it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] focusbra:
How do I know if it's working?
[Asus Transformer TF700] smalis:
With a root enabled file explorer, navigate to /storage. You should see sdcardi (your internal card), sdcard0 (ext4 partition of external card) and sdcard1 (not sure what this is). If those are present, it is working.

FYI, Navigate to /Removable/microsd to see the fat32 partition of the external card.
[Asus Transformer TF700] TheAnarchist1:
smalis: You should see if you can have this added to the OP. I find this information incredibly helpful, as I had the exact same concerns, being new to the data2sd scene myself. :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] BloomTwig:
My data2sd has stopped working. All of a sudden (I believe I had some unnatural reboot and then) bam, bootloop. This was on 3.2.2, now whether I use 3.3 or 3.2.2 I can't get the data2sd to work. I have tried reformatting the sd-card, it shows correctly, but still bootloops.

Is there an issue with the data2sd 3.2.x vs cromi 3.3? Any other help?

Thanks in advance, more thanks obviously coming in the form of clicks ;)

EDIT: I have been using minitool, could this be the problem?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Yes, that's your problem, do not use Mini tool instead use GPARTED.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BloomTwig:
Ok, cool! However, I have looked in to the program and I don't understand how to even run it on Win7... Any hints? =)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
You don't :) It's a Linux program. Use your favorite bootable Linux distribution (I use SystemRescueCD), or get the bootable gparted live CD iso.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BloomTwig:
Bummer, any reliable windows softwares that I can use instead? If not, do I just burn the ISO and boot from the CD? Sounds awfully messy :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] mescalinedreamz:
I just recovered from bricking my tf300t on cleanrom 3.3 . I am running clockwork and first was able to install data2sd using info fro thecleanrom 3.3 page. I had to use 3.03 rom and never had sdcardi showing. I did have to deal with encryption errors at first because i used minitool. After i formater my sandisk 64mb class 10 with gparted it worked. In settings it showed my main memory at 60gb and my external showed the fat 32 partition of 2gb. I tried downloading a torrent movie andit was locking things up. It didnt do that without data2sd , my previous overclocked version 3.2 cleanrom really flew.i did download torrents directly to a 8gb class4 card.

So i decided to try data2sd with cleanrom 3.3, iinstalled it all and used unters kernal i think. It booted and was lightning fast, but there was a big problem. I downloaded androbench and tried running the benchmark, it rebooted thetablet! I triedit again and itrebooted again. I then tried to delete adrobench and it wouldnt, it rebooted instread.

So i go back to clockworkmod and noticed when i clicked on install zip from internal sd that /emmc/!microSD folder was there. I click on it in clockwork and it just opens up another empty !microSD folder,. If i keep clicking on it then icankeep opening it /emmc/!microSD/!microSD/!microSD/!microSD etc.i also cannotdelete that folder in windows cause i dont see it, stock filemanager sees it but refuses to delete or rename. I then screwed up and formatted emmc dumb move, could flash roms but the asus screen would lock up , 4 hours later i managed to install stock asus rom awhich killed rootetc. Formatting emmc removed all the internal files including emmcdirectory. I rememberd that mountdata2sd would reinstall emmc so i ran that before i installed the stock rom. Problem is, the mountdata2sd also installed !microSD file on /sdcard/ so i am still stuck withthat file.

I just rerooted after installing clockwork and want to install cleanrom 3.3 on my tf300t and want to trygetting data2sd working. I reformattted my microsd again using gparted. How do i delete !microSD? From the internal sdcard before i try again? Also, does anyone know the steps to get it working on tf300t which kernal? Step by step if you can, thanks.

I also dont know if its cleanrom 3.3 doing it or data2sd but at the asus screen the "device is unlocked" flashesand blurs out. Someone posted in cleanrom 3.3 on the issue to
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Try the data 2sd that 10.4.4.25 kernel. Sounds like your tf300 doesn't like the GPU over clocking of the other one which is clemsyn's
[Asus Transformer TF700] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Just wanted to mention, I used the steps mentioned above to get data2sd going for me, but instead of TWRP I used CWM Touch and had all the files on the Internal storage's /sdcard/ space.

I did this because I formatted most of my MicroSD as ext4, all but ~64MB that is Fat32. Since I wanted to expand the space my TF700T saw as "internal storage" to a great a degree as possible. Now I've practically got a 64GB Infinity with faster storage than the original :) .

Just burn the ISO and boot from a CD. It's all pretty straight forward. gParted is the safest way.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mescalinedreamz:
Can you tell me the exact steps i should take? this is what i did for the first try and the results were awfully slow, androbench said it was slower then stock tf300t

Boot up your TF300T to recovery.

Here I did a complete wipe of the Tablet.

Install CleanRom 3.0.3

For the option I chose NO KERNEL. Nova Launcher, Play Store as only apps. I did not disable fsync.

After installation is complete, wipe the cache.

Flash data2sd for CleanRom

Wipe Cache

Flash TF300T.zip (unters kernel)

Wipe Cache

Flash Recovery Mod

i then tried it with cleanrom 3.3

Here I did a complete wipe of the Tablet.

Install CleanRom 3.3

For the option I chose NO KERNEL. stock stuff but i did disable fsync!.

After installation is complete, wipe the cache.

Flash chromi 3.2data2sd

Wipe Cache

i then flashed this kernal on page one of this thread clemsynTFUniversal650GPUver7-data2sd.zip

Wipe Cache

Flash Recovery Mod

the tablet was superfast but it would reboot when deleting something or trying to run the benchmark.

it could of been the disabling of fsync that made it fast? or was it making it reboot? or maybe it wasnt a factor at all

This depends heavily on your card. "Class 10" says nothing about random I/O performance.

i used gparted and did all the steps but when i install mountdata2sd i get E:error opening '/data/media in twrp , i nstalled cleanrom 3.3 and chose tf300 kernal, disabled fsync and rebooted into rom. i then made a backup to external and then tried to install mountdata2sd. i then got that error. i formatted the card in gparted with 2gb on the fat32 primary and the rest of the 60gb onto the ext4 partition with it set to primary and to active. I did format this card first with minitool and i think it gave me a drive letter of E or maybe not. I dont know what to do.

I read that minitool could of messed my new card up, i had read someones post with the same error. No matter how they reformatted, even with gpart it didnt fix it. What did fix it was sdformater 3.0 .i am trying that now. I just went into gpart and made the 60gb fat32 and booted back into windows to format using sdformatter its a slow program though. Taking forever, i think by tomorrow it should be done, i will update then.

I do have a question about the file on my internal sd that no one answered. I have !microSd file/folder that i cannot delete please help. me get rid of it! Its 0.0bytes and every file managerwill not let me delete it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mescalinedreamz:
tried again but no go. I used sd formatter to format overwrite the whole thing after making the whole drive fat 32 in gparted. I then went back to gparted anddeleted the format since it had three sections on it. and formatted first partion primary fat32 2gb second partition around 59gb ext4 flagged as boot. encryption error. I used the chromi3.2data2sd zip then rebooted but still had the cannot read e:/data/media. I am so glad that twrp was able to use my recovery img and restored everything. I am getting really frustrated. I want to take this sd card back to bestbuy and buy the keyboard dock on sale for 74.95

I dont seem to have the freezes when downloading torrents to a external sd when using cleanrom 3.3 with a overclocked kernal. So far i dont think anyone got data2sd working on the tf300t

Re: [MOD] Data2SD (Enhanced) - I/O Fix'

Seems like your internal memory is corrupted, you need to use twrp and do the "Format SD", this will reformat your internal.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
For the tf300 read the info on post 2 of the TF300 cromi thread to see if it helps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mescalinedreamz:
I did those steps and data2sd worked with version 3.03 but it was slower than regular clean. . ron with overclock. I then tried cleanron 3..3 and forgot exactly what steps i took but it was super fast. but when i deleted anything the tablet would reboot. So i decided that the file named microSd with an exclamation mark that mountdata2sd installed onto /sdcard/! MicroSD might be the issue since i couldnt delete it from the first install on cleanrom 3.03

I am going to try it all over again since i was able to delete the microsd file. I have a quick question. When i am typing the cursor will randomly jump around and end up inserting metters and words wherever, using periods seem to do it too. I am having that problem on the stock keyboard and swiftkey tablet version

ROM updating...

Before CROMI v3.4 comes out (or maybe even v4.0 ;) ) I'd like to be absolutely sure not to screw up my data2SD setup (now I've finally taken the jump successfully). Is this the right sequence, given that I'm running CROMI v3.3 w/data2SD currently:

1) Boot to recovery (in my case CWM)

2) Flash 'mountdata2sd"

3) Without exiting the recovery (obviously), flash new ROM file (with optional clearing of caches)

4) Reflash cromi_data2sd

5) Reboot

Is this correct? Does this work for mods like the battery mod in the same way? (Possibly step 4 can be skipped then?)
[Asus Transformer TF700] mescalinedreamz:
Me again, i am still having issues with data2sd and the tf300t. I am using a sandisk class 10 64mb card. I screwed up by first partitioning with minitool. I now use gparted. I decided to use testdisk to check the microsd and it shows a 2gb fat32 and a 57.48 ext4 partition. I then used testdisk to check the sdcard and it says 63gb/59gb card. I choose it and then say choose intel then analyze. It shows bad starting sector chs and lba dont match so i went back and deleted both partitions and not sure what to do

Well now testdisk analyze says its showing 64heads and should be 128

I cant seem to partition it now, its throwing errors. Nevermind the errors i now was able to format again. I now have two fat32 partitions. I am going todelete them both and reformat fat32 then ext4 partitions
[Asus Transformer TF700] Darnell_Chat_TN:
I'm not the one to provide the "right" answer, given my short time using this Mod. But I thought the process would be all you mentioned with the exception of step #2. Since you already have mounted data to SD.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
In the recovery you always need to do this manually, since it uses its own fstab - or you have a modified recovery.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
So I gather I won't set off any nuclear weapons inside my TF700 with the above procedure?

The underlying question is, I guess, if I can just flash away with the ROM file without step 2. Does a custom ROM need the /data partition available for flashing? (I understand the need to when wiping data/factory resetting. ;) )

Man, every day is a learning experience. Sometimes it's tiring, but I love it. Thanks!

---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

Well, given very little of experience, you came close enough. Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The main part of the ROM installation goes to /system and doesn't need /data. The CROMI installer uses /data for the following:

- deleting dalvik-cache (not really required, since Android should detect the mismatch and rebuild it anyway)

- installing some apps, like Titanium Backup and Rebooter

- deleting LagFix data
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Cleared things up -- I could flash away, but it would be prudent to do step 2 in between. Thanks!!

Sv: [MOD] Data2SD (Enhanced) - I/O Fix

I installed Ubuntu Linux on my tablet and used gparted in that to format my sd-card

It worked fine and I was happy. But after a while my problems came back. Now I get bootloops whenever I try to boot cromi!

Any advice? Complete format of everything and a complete do-over?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Run fsck on your data partition - either from a linux pc, or from the recovery via adb shell (e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk1p2).

Edit: this was assuming you are using the card for data2sd - or did you format it for different reasons?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
And the only reason I implemented number 3 is that lag fix is / was a bit naughty when updating itself. It remembered previous settings which couldn't be cleared in the latest version. I'll probably remove that from the next version.

Occasionally I do use this method for apps that I know need data clearing for an upgrade, but it is fairly rare as user lose data if done this way. Not too much of a problem with lagfix.

As for dalvik cache clearing android sometimes just doesn't clear uninstalled apps properly. Maybe it's the method of uninstalling but it can help clear some issues but it is banded around as an all purpose fix when usually it isn't even required.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I assume if you had a deodexed ROM and then install a new ROM with fewer apps, Android will not detect the "uninstallation" of the system apps and not remove the (o)dex files from the dalvik-cache. They should be harmless though, just using a little space for nothing.

So it shouldn't hurt if one forgets to clear the dalvik-cache, but anyway it is a good idea to do it when flashing a new ROM (with new framework), since it needs to be rebuilt anyway.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BloomTwig:
Yes, it is meant for data2sd use, though I can't get it to work. Typing e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 in command window in my linux boot returns something about the folder not being found or something. Since all my bootloops I have moved away from the data2sd so it was currently not in that mode, does that matter?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Monkeydias:
I posted this in the clean rom section thread but i'm not getting any answers. Any help would be appreciated.

So I've hit a snag. I ran the bench mark tests and the results were very poor. Similar to a stock HTC one x. So I went into recovery to install the unters kernel through the kernel installer and it loaded fine. Booted back into the OS and went back to my storage and it showed that it was back on the internal sd card. I tried going back and re-installing the data2sd zip and that was a no go. Tried doing a full wipe and reinstalling it the way I got it to work the first time. No go. Got hung up on the ASUS screen. So ive restored to my last back up and now im going to try and reformat the sd card with gparted again and try it one more time.

Why can I not get this thing to work. I reformatted the external SD card with Gparted. Here are the steps I did.

Boot into Recovery

Full Wipe

Flash 3.3 with no kernel

wipe cache

Flash data2sd

wipe cache

flash kernel in post two

wipe cache

Reboot.

It gets stuck on the ASUS screen and doesn't move. This is really pissing me off that I finally got it to work the one time and now I cannot duplicate it. Anyone have any ideas?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Surely you need to flash the mount2sd file first before flashing the rom?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
You could try letting the ROM boot after installing (so you know that at least a normal boot works out), then go back into the recovery, flash the conversion zip file and reboot. You'll get a cleanOS (so all changes you have made while previously booting will have been lost), and start anew. I do not wipe caches in between flashes. It's sufficient to do it once at the end, if at all.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Monkeydias:
Is that a question or how I should do it? I haven't seen it listed anywhere to do it in that order.

---------- Post added at 07:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 AM ----------

I can get the rom itself to boot fine. Every time I try to flash the data2sd file it gets stuck on the ASUS boot screen.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I think pretty much anything is worth trying at this point, hahaha! You having made a backup is commendable -- that makes troubleshooting this a lot less stressful. ;)
