Although this helpthread is for 3.x and I am now on CROMI-X 4.3b6 I still the question does not hurt to be asked here.

I am using Titanium Backup as well as Media Sync from the same company.

I am making a daily backup but noticed that while restoring I am not aware of the correct way to do so.

Can maybe somebody tell what are the correct settings while making a backup and the same for restoring when You want to do the following :

-running one ROM, making backups on ext SD, incl backup of my Nova Prime launcher

-putting a new ROM for flashing on that same ext SD

-with TWRP wiping all, incl system and format

-after installing another ROM with TWRP the initial setup is followed from Android (or is it Asus)

-google is allowed to sync with my account and hence Play Store will start downloading the latest version of all my apps

-Titanium is getting Root and resets the device ID to former one

-now I would like to restore the settings for all of these programs, but at the same time not messing the clean setup up

-if allowed without screwing up I'd like to restore settings for Nova from the respective backup

What are the settings I use in Titanium here ?

Are You using some presets.

I am wondering very much that even without using Titanium for Restore my system has somewhere saved the WiFi settings of places I have been. Now where is that stored ?

Somewhere in Nova's backup file or does Titanium find something in the device ID settings ?

thanks a bunch for the one clearing this up.

Problem with 3d movie

Hi there,

Recently I flash new CHROMIX rom based on 4.2 android and when I wanted to watch 3d movie over the tablet on my TV something was wrong. I have turned on 3d mode in TV but it didn't recognize it. Last time I watched 3d movie on CHROMI 3.7.4 and it works fine. My question is: Did someone try to watch 3d movie on 4.2 android?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thibor69:
First off ..... I want to personally thank both XDA-Members _That & Buhohitr for all their help here in this thread. I have a very busy life

with my family, kids, dogs, cats & (disabled wife) and 2 full time jobs. Without you 2 and a few others ( sorry I can't remember names, but you know who you are )

this Official Help Thread would have died off. Instead I believe it has really helped a lot of people and kept the other threads a bit cleaner. Thanks guys :good:

As for CROMI-X questions and help .... we are thinking of starting another "Official" help thread, but sdbags, myself and ThatsOK are in the planning stages only.

For now feel free to ask here but BE SURE to mention what ROM you are using CROMI 3.4.x or CROMI-X v4.xRCx or soon v4.x.x

Cheers to all :highfive:

[Asus Transformer TF700] Dzwiedz:
Sorry about that, you absolutley right. First I schould (and i'm doing it:)) thank all of XDA-Developers who makes this rom and helping people to solve thier problems.

I have restore CleanROM 3.4.7 deodex and plug my TV to micro HDMI, in settings appeard the option "HDMI" where I can choose to play 3D movie. When I flashed back CHROMIX RC2 after plug microHDMI in settings I couldn't find this options. So is it posible at all to play 3D movie in new CHROMIX??

BTW sorry for my bad english:P

unlocking 4.2.1?

anyone know how to unlock the tf700 4.2.1???

i went to the website and downloaded the unlocker tool but it doesnt work, i guess its not compatible with 4.2.1 yet....
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Yeah, I saw Asus released the new version (V8) for the tf300, so I guess sooner or later we're going to see version 8 for the tf700 JB 4.2.1. If you can't wait, just downgrade to JB .25, then do the unlock with version 7 tool.

Edit: BTW, I heard some ppl actually used Version 7 to unlock JB 4.2.1 successfully, however, I can't confirm.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rickymh19:
i guess im stuck having to downgrade to 4.1.1

and i tried to use version 7 to unlock it, but it wouldnt even let me get past the agreement part.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
It's not that bad to downgrade, If you want to try again with v7on JB 4.2.1, do a factory reset then give it another try, otherwise downgrade:

1. download full Asus JB.25 from Asus website, then unzip the downloaded .zip file (it will be another .zip)

2. Rename the new zip to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip

3. Format FAT32 the MicroSD card that you will be using for the update process

4. Copy the file to (the root directory of) your MicroSD

5. Insert it into the tablet

6. Shutdown (power off) the tablet

7. Power it on by pressing and holding VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons simultaneously

8. When you see white text in the top left corner of the screen, release the buttons ^^ and press VOLUME UP button twice and upgrade process should start by itself.

9. Wait patiently for 10 minutes or so and Done.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rickymh19:
ok just had to let you know so you can put the word out to everyone.

i finally got the bootloader unlocked, and rooted all on stock JB 4.2.1

Version 7 works perfectly fine to unlock, all i was doing wrong was that i wasnt scrolling down on the terms and agreements therefore i could not accept them lol.

and to root it, i used motochopper.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Nice!!! thank you for your confirmation. Enjoy the power of the tf700.

how to switch rom

Help plz im kinda new im currently on cromix 4.4 but if i want to go back to clean rom inheritance what are the steps? Can i just wipe and flash it over again? Or do i have to flash over the 4.1jellybean bootloader before i flash cleanrom again?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
JB 4.1 works also with the 4.2 bootloader, so there is no need to downgrade your bootloader. Wiping data may be necessary.
[Asus Transformer TF700] techcrazy101:
Thomas asedkra

Thanks for reply so let's say in future I upgrade to latest bootloader I can always flash back to an older rom without having to downgrade bootloader?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I only said that the 10.6 bootloader is compatible with both JB 4.1 and 4.2. You can't expect that all bootloaders are backwards compatible - in fact, lots of people have hard bricked their tablet using a JB bootloader and an older (ICS-based) custom recovery.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Fastlivin:
First off, started with a stock, unlocked, unrooted 4.2.1.

I used the motochopper method outlined here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2252563

That appeared to go off without a hitch. I used GooManager to install TWRP, which is version 2.5.

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how I tell what bootloader version I am working from.

I'm trying to install CROMI 3.4.7. The AROMA installer goes through it's paces just fine, and gives me no errors. However, I appear to be stuck at the ASUS bootscreen, with the orbiting set of circles. Is this what people refer to as a bootloop?

Am I missing something? Do I need to use 4.2 CROMI-X because I started with a 4.2.1 OS? Restoring my nandroid backup gets me back to a functioning environment, but I would really like to enjoy the performance upgrades everyone is crowing about! Help, please!!

ETA: Whoops, didn't realize the build number gives the bootloader version. It's 10.6.1.14.4. The installation instructions in the CROMI original post note a 4.1.1 bootloader. Is this potentially where I'm going wrong?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
To check your bootloader version power up with Volume Down and Power button, read the tiny script.

But if you came from the stock 4.2 you should have the correct bootloader installed :confused:

I ran Cromi 3.4.7 fine under the 10.6.1.14.4 bootloader, so I'm not sure why your tab is not booting up.

You could try flashing the 10.6.1.14.4 bootloader/TWRP package from the OP of the Cromi-X thread in the Development section.

And once you're there anyway - why not download the latest CromiX version 4.4.1 and flash that?

It's even better than Cromi 3.4.7 and as good as Cromi is: You're at a dead end with it. No further development....
[Asus Transformer TF700] Fastlivin:
Thanks for the reply. I'm downloading the CromiX now, with these 49 - 222 page threads it's difficult to tell exactly what the current state of development is for these. Thank you for telling me.

Since Cromi isn't working for me anyway, going to give CromiX a try and report back. I'm pretty sure, based on your feedback and my finding the bootloader version, that I do have the right environment to flash this puppy, it just doesn't appear to be working. Frustrated, but glad I didn't waste a ton of time with a zombie ROM. Thanks for the heads up!
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Yeah, the Cromi - now the CromiX threads are hard to keep up with :laugh:

Which is good! Proves it's not a zombie rom....:angel:

You do wipe cache and dalvik during the installation process, right?

It maybe a good idea to wipe everything since you are coming from a stock rom if you have any further problems...

There are different opinions on the usefulness of full wipes/factory resets in this forum. But I have hardly any trouble ever and like to think it's because I err on the side of caution :)

When I moved from the 4.1 based roms to the 4.2, I did a totally clean install:

Backed up all my apps and data in TitaniumBackup, copied all user content from the internal SD, used the 'Advanced Wipe' in TWRP and selected everything except the external SD card AND after that used the 'Factory Restore' option in TWRP.

A lot of work, but also a good base for further flashing - I believe. And a chance to weed out all those apps you forgot you had on your tab...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Fastlivin:
I am doing dalvik/cache wipes, both through the flashing of the ROM and after it's finished (i.e., after the AROMA installer closes and I'm kicked back to TWRP. I have not done a full data wipe, but if this CROMi-X installation doesn't work, I'm going to do exactly as you suggested.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Fastlivin:
I'm happy to report SUCCESS. Not sure why Cromi 3.4.7 didn't work, but Jimmy cracked corn, and I don't care.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Congratulations!

hi, I've installed the cromi newest version and the bad news is I forgot to update the latest bootloader ( 4.2.1 stock rom US), so it's stuck at the asus logo, I did a back up already but I can not see any backup file in Restore, my twrp is 2.3.3.0, any idea ? I'm new android user :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Just flash the latest bootloader. Can you get to a microsd in recovery?

Really you should be on at least TWRP 2.4 before starting this as explained in the original thread for CROMi-X (as well as the latest bootloader as you have realised)

You can recover it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mythhelios:
thanks for quick respond but as far as i check #1 all bootloader link are dead :(, and can I use 10.4.4.25 US Jelly Bean Bootloader ? I dont know which one cause i bought this refrubished from ebay ( seller lives in US)

Did you follow this procedure:

1. Flash the bootloader /TWRP package buhohitr recommended

2. Reboot into system and run your old rom

3. Boot into TWRP and flash CROMI X

4. Boot into system

I suspect, you skipped step 2

already gave up and did a factory reset, see what happened

after reboot it boot into Cromi 4.1.1, smooth as hell, everything work perfect :D

I'm sorry if can't post here, I have read this forum for a long time, but I never post here.

I have 10.4.4.25 android jelly bean 4.1.1 on my infinity. It's locked, but rooted from when I had ICS firmware; I could not use NVflash I had wrong bootloader.

I want to put on my tab 4.2.1 ROM or also version based on 4.1.1 jelly bean firmware, I'm boring from Asus stock's lag.

I can unlock it with Asus tool, then I can put TWRP with goo manager, but it put the lastest version on my tab. I have read that if recovery and bootloader wasn't compatible I risk an hard brick.

So my question is this, if I put the lastest version of TWRP (2.5) with goo manager when I have to do wipe data I risk a brick?

Is better if I upgrade to android 4.2.1 firmware then I unlock device and install TWRP?

I have thought that have been better if I upgrade before, but I have had some problems to upgrade my tab OTA, it didn't work this time also with OTA rootkeeper.

Thanks!! I apologize for my english

[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
TWRP 2.5 works fine with the 10.4.4.25 bootloader, so you do not have to OTA update to stock JB 4.2 if you want to flash a custom rom.

Just unlock the tablet and install TWRP through Goo Manager.

If you want to try sbdag's JB 4.1 based rom, CROMi 3.4.7, you can just flash it over the stock rom, wipe cache and dalvik and your good to go.

If you want to go to to CROMi-X, the JB 4.2 based rom you have to do a little more work:

Flash the bootloader/TWRP package from the CROMi Xenogenesis OP.

Boot back into your old rom (do not skip this step!)

Boot back into TWRP, go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe, select everything except your external microSD.

Install CROMi-X (which hopefully you put onto the external microSD, not internal storage)

Very strange - especially if the dock is not loosing it's charge to the tablet.... A wild guess: a bad dock battery.

If you really want to find out if this is related to the rom (and that 4.2 is bad for battery performance is no secret), you could flash back to the last CROMI build (4.1) and check if that makes a difference.....

Custom rom problem with my japanese dock

Hi, im new at xdadevelopers, so excuse me if i dont know how to express myself correctly ( im from peru, so i dont know speak english smoothly)

My problem is this: i have twrp recovery, and I install cromi ( doesnt the matter which version i guess) and the problem is that my stock original rom from my TF700 ( japanese edition) comes with FSKAREN app for the correct use of the keyboard. Since i flash with the custom rom cromi, i lost that app (fskaren) and i guess that its the problem that cause the simbols of my keyboard doesnt match with the simbols i want to type. Before i flash my device, i can choose betwen fskaren or asus keyboard or android eyboard. Afterthe flash, i can only select betwen android keyboard and asus keyboard. No fskaren anymore.

Anyone knows any ways to solve this problem? i want the layout of my keyboard match whit the simbols it has write in the key. For example, in the jap keyboard dock it has a dedicated key for the @, and the simbol ^ have a dedicated key too.

Someone can help me please?

Sorry about my bad english.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes the ROM version I use is the WW version. I will need to look into the Japanese version and provide the related Japanese dictionary and keyboard files.

Data2SD issues after CROMI-X flashing

Hello,

I flashed _that's data2sd kernel for cromi-x's latest version. I used MiniTool Partition Wizard to partition my SanDisk 16GB Ultra/Class-10 microsd card (made 2 partitions: Ext4 and FAT32) So once I flashed the Cromi-X with data2sd kernel and restart tablet, it gets stuck on the asus page and doesnt make it past that, the loading wheel still spins but i waited about 10 minutes and it still doesnt get anywhere.

When i removed my MicroSD card and restarted, it works but then it warns me that there is issue with my memory and i have to press on "I am feeling lucky" for the startup to finish. However, after that, some apps are missing, all of their datas is missing and other issues.

So i am guessing i have 2 options (1)re-partition my MicroSD and lose all the data that the kernel moved to it? ..or.. (2)somehow undo all this action and return all the data moved to microSD's ext4 parition back to the tablet. but i do not know how. i tried reflashing cromi-x but with normal kernel and same issue persists.

Please tell me what i need to do to get out of this issue with the least amount of data lost.

Thank you!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
1. MiniTool ist known to cause problems, see the Data2SD thread.

2. The ext4 partition must be the *second* partition.

That's funny, because the kernel or the Data2SD add-on doesn't change your internal apps and data at all.
[Asus Transformer TF700] babbehmom:
Thanks for the reply. I am looking over the Data2SD thread.

I put the FAT32 as first and then Ext4 partition. I cannot use the gparted software because it seems to require a cd burner.

What do you think the cause for the app problems is? Along with all their datas missing, the Browser app crashes when it starts and there are tons of other issues. What do you suggest i do?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You don't need a CD burner you can also write the iso image to a USB drive and boot from that.

Anyway you must use the gparted software to write the partitions. There is no other way around that step.
[Asus Transformer TF700] babbehmom:
okay. will do. thanks:)

do you know why my apps got all their data wiped out and browser app crashes and missing apps. i saw on Data2sd thread that someone had a somewhat similar issue. oh and also, i cannot install any application from the play store because an error pops up when it tries to install. is the data moved to the Micro SD card? or somewhere else? or is it just lost?

Appreciate the help
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Your tab no longer sees the internal data partition as data, that is why you think it has been wiped. If you go back to a non data2sd setup your apps will come back. I think you need to do some more reading on data2sd. It doesn't move already installed apps. It places the data partition on to an empty ext4 partition on your card.

Booting problem.

Hello all,

I am stuck since 2 days. My tablet seems to be... quite broken ;(.

Actually, i can boot in TWRT to flash the zip image. The process goes well, but... when i boot, the tablet is stucked at the logo. I re tryed the process undred time. Deodex and Odex.

What can i do now ?

Thx in advance,

GF.
[Asus Transformer TF700] babbehmom:
I can go back to non data2sd set up by flashing the Cromi-X normal kernel, right? I already tried that and nothing changed... is there another way?

I was thinking it moves the data as well because in some post it said that all dropbox,chrome,etc data moves there. maybe i read it wrong
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
We need more information: Which bootloader do you have installed? What ROM and version are you coming from, what are you trying to flash?

My bet is you have the wrong bootloader. If in doubt, flash the 10.6.1.14.8 bootloader/TWRP package from the OP, boot back into system and then do a clean installation of CROMi-X.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It moves them if you reinstall them :)

I have no idea why you can't go back so my only suggestion is to do a factory reset.

This is why I don't use data2sd - far too much faffing to get it working and then you have to deal with corruption if your card is not up to it. I think you may have learnt this the hard way unfortunately.
[Asus Transformer TF700] babbehmom:
Yeah it is frustrating.. I will most likely have to resort to a factory reset. But before I do, this is the message I get when my tablet finishes startup: "UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be inconsistent." maybe you know what has caused that? I assume it is just caused by the microsd not working properly

I really appreciate all the help given
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You get that message as something in the system/app or framework folder has not come from me. The signature doesn't match.

So either you restored a system app in tibu from another ROM or you installed some system apps manually? Or you maybe used closed framework or someone's theme?
