[Asus Transformer TF700] gixxer340:
Funny you should mention that, I am having an awful time trying to get things installed right now. I have tried a lot of combinations and they all seem to end in either a boot loop or a hang during startup. If I knew how to get the logs I would definitely post them up for some help. Can I get them somehow through TWRP (since that seems to be the only consistent thing I can get back to).

Also, I will explain what I am trying to do so if anyone has any thoughts on my issue please feel free to help me out.

I started with a factory wiped system when I bought it.

I unlocked and rooted

I installed CROMI-X 4.68 and patched to 4.69 with _that v3+ (I think that is one of the stock options for CROMI)

I then installed the MAX kernel RC1 and everything was running pretty well. Still a little laggy here and there but not bad

I had been making Nandroid backups along the way so I felt pretty confident

Then I heard that doing a clean install might be even better and I wasn't exactly sure what options I had selected when installing CROMI the first time so I decided to try a clean install

I got a microsd card and put all of my ROMs and kernels on it

I rebooted into TWRP an went to Wipe-->Advanced Wipe and selected everything but the microSD and wiped it

I then formatted the data partition (I don't think that I had to do this but it felt like it was even more clean somehow)

I then installed CROMI 4.6.8 (this time I selected to disable fsync where I am pretty sure that i didn't last time because I didnot know what it did)

It rebooted fine

Installed 4.6.9 patch

It rebooted fine

Installed MAX RC1 (just like I had before)

Started booting, updated 37 apps and the hung on the starting apps dialog.

Waited a while and rebooted manually and it would hang on the boot animation toward the end

I got a little worried so I tried restoring my last Nandroid backup

Seemed to restore fine but again hung on the boot animation

Started to get more worried now because I thought that this was always my safety net and it didn't seem to be working

Wiped everything again (same as above)

restored the stock JB backup that I had and it booted fine. whew...

Tried a factory reset through stock JB ( I thouugh tthat this would put me back in a situation like I was in during the first install so I could reinstall CROMI and the MAX kernel and be on my way

Again, I then installed CROMI 4.6.8 (disabled fsync again)

It rebooted fine

Installed 4.6.9 patch

It rebooted fine

Installed MAX RC1 (just like I had before)

Started booting, updated 37 apps and the hung on the starting apps dialog.

Waited a while and rebooted manually and it would hang on the boot animation toward the end

This was all done around midnight ladst night and I need to get some sleep so I could come to work today (and write this post :))

I am not sure what to do at this point. I really just want a nice clean install of CROMI 4.6.9 with the MAX kernel that I can start using like I want to. I would also like to try disabling fsync to see if it is any less laggy but at this point I may try all of the above steps but leave it enabled to see if that is the variable that is causing my problem. I will try fooling with it again tonight to see if I can get it working. I even re-downloaded all of the zip files in case one of them got corrupt somehow (just trying to cover my bases.

Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.

sorry for the long post

Jeff

Is fat32 the best format? I tried ntfs but TWRP wont see it. I thought exFAT was more preferred.
