Technically you are on a 4.2 bootloader trying to flash a 4.1 ROM. Not sure you can do that without a wipe first or if will work as I never tested it.

You could download your bootloader I suppose.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I tested it and it works.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yeah but it's not booting for him. Does 4.1.1 understand the multi user structure from 4.2.1? I suspect trying to dirty flash back to 4.1.1 from 4.2.1 could cause some issues. A clean install would be a better base to start from.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I haven't seen a logcat yet, so the problem officially doesn't exist. ;)

I guess not, how would they have predicted the behavior of the future release? :p But I don't know what a 4.1 ROM does with a 4.2 /data partition - I just confirmed that the 4.2 bootloader will boot and run a 4.1 ROM just fine.

Agree. But what was the original reason to downgrade from 4.2 to 4.1?
[Asus Transformer TF700] babbehmom:
I have been on Cromi-X for a while and decided to give Data2SD a shot and formatted my new microSD and installed the newest version of cromi-x with data2sd kernel. That's all. No theme or crossing over to other ROMs. everything was going smoothly when I was installing. After I installed the data2sd kernel and tablet booted up, it went to welcome wizard and to set up tablet since it was new partition and my tablet crashed. And all troubles started after that.

So Haha yup i think it's time to just wipe everything and start fresh. I'll use gparted partition software this time and try data2sd one more time

CROMi-X ROCKZ

sbdags & crew, You are a credit to the XDA community and certainly a group that contributes to making XDA the go-to forum for all things Android. I started reading XDA's TF700 section several months ago and it was quickly evident that the CustomROM of choice for the Transformer was CROMi-X.

After hours and hours of reading, reading & more reading (i'm pretty sure i read that somewhere) I Rooted, Unlocked and Flashed CROMi-X v4.7.0 like I was a seasoned pro and my TF700 has ran flawlessly since. Just updated to v5.0.1 with that4+ kernel and once again an even finer tuned machine!

If anyone reading this is considering taking the CustomROM plunge you are certainly in the right place, click on the Developers forum, look for CROMi-X and hold on for the ride! It will turn your Transformer into the tablet you thought were buying.

Thanks :good:

Missing USB option....

Hello guys,

I am trying to flash a new rom to my infinity. I am pretty new with this stuff... I completed the root and bootloader unlock process... And now I am trying to install a recovery TWRP with Scott's recovery tool... the tablet goes in bootloader, but instead of showing 4 options, i only see 3 pictograms....I am missing the USB option. The recovery tool freeezes, nothing happens....

What am i doing wrong? Plz help!!

Regards....
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You are doing nothing wrong. Scott's recovery tool was built back in 4.1 days - ages ago ;) - and at that time the 4.1 bootloader had 4 icons. JB 4.2 has only three, missing the USB icon, since it defaults to fastboot mode.

You should carefully check which version the TWRP blob included in his tool his. You do not want to install a recovery incompatible with your current bootloader!

Better yet: Do not use the somewhat outdated tool.

Two options:

Download GooManager, run it and grant root access, tab 3 dots at upper right, select "Install Open Recovery Script" and it will install TWRP for you.

I hate to use you as a guinea pig, so I have to admit I'm not sure this will work, but I would be very curious to the fact if it still does...:)

I very recently learned that the blob file of the latest TWRP version 2.6.3 is larger than the recovery partition on our tab. Since GooManager usually installs the latest TWRP version, you may get an error message or the install may just fail without one.

If you try this method, please let us know.

Edit: forget this option. Just read in this thread that GooManager tries to intsall 2.6.3 which will fail.

Post #457

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1797692

Option 2 is to push the recovery in fastboot. Connect to your tab in fastboot.

Open a cmd prompt, type: fastboot devices

If you see the serial number of your tab, you're good to go.

Download the twrp 2.6.1 blob, rename it to twrp.blob and put it into the same directory as your fastboot exe.

Type: fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash twrp.blob

[Asus Transformer TF700] AxpStoli97:
Hi all,

I recently installed CROMi-X 5.2.3 DEODEX (with ROM2SD option). Overall, my tablet is much, much faster now, especially since I switched to the Apex launcher from stock. The only 2 things that are still consistently laggy are Gmail and Play Store installs/updates. Gmail tends to hang often, especially if messages have lots of images in them. And the store updates are the worst - I practically can't use the tablet while they are running and everything is sluggish for a short while after.

I didn't choose ROM2SD or DATA2SD options during my install - just installed on internal. Is this something either of these options should help with?

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Running CROMi-X as ROM2SD seems to have the least lag when updating from the Play Store.

Personally, I just disable auto-update in the store and update apps when I'm not using it. It's easy to get into the habit of letting apps update overnight.

Do you have fsync off?

Also you could experiment with Hund's kernel and Hund's plus LMK's Extreme Tweaks (he swears he has no slow down at all when multitasking during updates).

Hund's thread is the development section, the ET thread in the General section.

BTW, you posted this in the CROMi 3.x thread. The CROMi-X thread is way livelier :D

so today i tried to install cleanrom over it, i used this video:

followed the link to the latest TWRP tool (Ver 2.6)

had my TF700 unlocked and rooted

than downloaded latest Cleanrom version from here:

went through the instructions in the video, finished all process -

now my TF700 will not load OS, it will turn up, show me that screen of moving cycles (CROMI) but nothing happens.

before i started the process my device's information was

thanks for the reply,

it looks like i made it somehow to downgrade my TF700 -

i installed the CROMI from the link in my original post,

than downloaded a 10.4.x bootloader

than i performed a wipe through the TWRP recovery

now my TF700 is back again, with 4.1.1 and CROMI

should i upgrade to 4.2.1 using the link you provided or can i stay with what i have? what is the recommendation?

i apologize for the noob questions, im really new to Android

Thanks a lot!
[Asus Transformer TF700] AxpStoli97:
Yeah, I hear what you're saying and I could definitely live with running updates at low usage times (I don't have auto-updates turned on anyway). I was just wondering if it's worth going the ROM2SD route.

I installed _that's v7 kernel with fsync on - was going for stability over speed. Overall, this is way snappier than the stock and I might just see if it's enough of an improvement to leave as it is right now.

Is there a CROMi-X thread in the general section? I couldn't post in the developer thread that I followed for instructions since I'm kind of a noob here. :)

You sir, are the man! This is what I expected when I bought the prime in January 12! I chose the odexed version and the jellybean 4.2 launcher. As it sits now I dont know that i even need data2sd.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Thibor69:
You will love your tablet soon. With this rom crashes and lag are non existing!

You do not need to install data2sd, in fact i would skip it for now. It will just confuse you. Try that bit later. But Browser2sd is a must. It will install itself during flashing if you tell it to. Then run the app one time and reboot. Also turn Fsync OFF at flash time. If you dont get Quadrant scores over 7000 then let us know here, because you should

And dont use stock launcher. It is BOARING. Use Nova... Oh wait you are flashing the odex version.. May i ask why? If you're into themes and eye candy you should deodex.

THIBOR69
[Asus Transformer TF700] MovingZen:
I definitely installed browser2ram, ran the app, and then rebooted. The browsing on this thing has gotten sooo much better it's not even close. Really the only issue I had with the tablet was the browsing being so wonky. So when I flashed I tried to stay in the stock area as much as possible for a good starting point. As fas as the odex vs deodex goes, I followed the link in the bottom of Thats OK's posts to try to get an understanding of which one I should pick. Since I wasn't sure if I was going to be using any of the non stock launchers, and I saw in (I think it was his) sdbags post that deodex was quicker but he felt odex was smoother I decided to stay with the odexed version. I didn't even think about themes when I was making the decision... I looked up nova launcher and the features didn't seem like much I needed. I think I saw in the developers thread that I could flash the deodexed version right over the top of the odexed version without a factory reset. Is that a correct understanding? just do the customary wipes before and after?

I didn't do the fsync for a couple reasons, main one being worried about data corruption and getting stuck with an issue that's over my head. But, the tablet seems to be pretty quick to me so I kinda wanted to see what it would be like with the non scary tweaks before I decided to jump in the deep end of the pool and go for broke. I will look up quadrant and get my quasi stock scores and post them and then look for some advice as to whether I want to jump into the deep end.

I really like that I was able to keep all my apps and data when I flashed. I would have done it anyway but it was pretty sweet that all I had to do was readjust my home screen and I was back normal. If I decide to redo my flash and go with the other options, can I go from where I am now and just follow the same procedure to flash and then choose the other options? I actually did download the deodexed version and put it on the sdcard and made the choice last second from twrp.

Sorry for the book..
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thibor69:
Hi -

Sorry for the long delay in replying .... I was hoping more people would help out here in this thread. Kind of

disappointed

, but I will try my best. I do work though 12+ hours a day, ( I am an Electrician of 23 years ) so I can only get to a PC at lunch and then at home. Anyway....

Good going. Yes the stock browser is very good now. I use to hate it, but have changed my mind since it sync's bookmarks from chrome.

I forget which link Thats OK used, I have a real good one also that answers a lot of questions about the '.DEX brothers' ;) I will add under his link.

Yes sbdags did say that ... hehe I still not 100% sure what that means or what is difference between "quicker" and/or "smoother" :o I guess it is just up to the user what he likes best. Personally I use DeOxed and love it, but a lot of other user's swear by the Oxed version :confused:

Belive me tho, you will eventually use a 3rd party launcher. They really have come a long way and have some nice features that Stock just doesn't do. Plus the launchers are being coded very well now ( well at least the top 3 ) In case you care, I swear by Nova Prime, but ADW EX is also very cool. Go launcher is really really neat and fun to play with, but it is not really made for a tablet. On a phone it is very cool.

Yes sir. You can flash over 3.1 with no issues. But dont forget to wipe Delvcache.

Well Fsync off will definitely make your tablet run faster, ... much faster. But yes you do take a chance on data corruption, although I have yet to hear from anyone that has had any data issues with it turned off. As long as you have a working recovery / nandroid backup you can just restore if needed. Run Quadrant with fsync on and then off and compare the scores.

Yes you can flash CleanROM 3.1 on top of it. Then make your new choices in the aroma installer. I would definitely do a nandroid backup anytime you are going to flash. I also recommend a Titanium Backup of all your apps & data. ( or ROM ToolBox which I think is even better than Titanium but Titanium is very good also ) That way you know for sure you have a copy of all your apps, ready to be restored any time.

Lastly I do recommend that you do a clean install every now and then. Wipe your cache / dalvik cache and system files ( all from within TWRP ) This way you get rid of a lot of "junk" that has built up on your tab that just builds up over time without a new clean fresh wipe and full install. After the clean flash fix permissions ( again a command inside twrp )

Good luck .. no matter which way you go, as long as your using CleanROM Inheratince you will be happy.

Cheers :good:

TF700T overheating

Hope I'm doing this right, If not forgive me.

Hello All !!! I'm having a serious issue I haven't been able to pin down. I am on the latest and greatest Cromi 3.1. But before anyone thinks I'm blaming this rom for my technical issue I AM NOT. I have this overheating issue the past 4-5-6 updates ago and I have dug and searched and searched some more. I haven't quite figured out what version this started (As I have stated I'm not sure this is a cromi) issue. One day I noticed my tab when holding it was getting really warm to the touch so I put it to sleep (not off) and it kept getting hotter to the point it scared me so I shut it off to cool. After 15 min it did cool down but the same thing happened so I recovered the previous back-up and the same thing happened. I turned off all none system apps I could and it seemed to help a bit but not the point it cooled down to the way I remember a tf700 to be. I eventually started loading the apps back on I needed and it somewhat got warm. leaving it unattended for a time it gets hot (not warm but HOT) Because I need my tab for my work I had to deal with it with the hopes it would blow up in my face any second. Guys I'm talkin HOTTTTTT. The temp sensor got as high as 157 (f) HOT. Battery blowin hot and did not shut down as my phone would to cool off sitting on my truck dash. The Tab never once was on the dash. I made sure gps, camera, wifi, and BT were off. I tried and retied to re-install a clean copy form a factory reset, cleaned and wiped the usual suspects but still nothing solved it. Installed one app at a time and not able to find the Guilty party. I need to mention before this gets to long that I did use Rom Toolbox Pro and pimp my rom together way back but have since learned my lesson. The thing is, I installed newer, cleaner versions since this happened and no JOY. I hope I made this clear and I realized I'm saying the same thing over and over (up for 38 hours) so I'll leave it at this unless someone whats more info.
