Well from the changelog - 3.4.3 was deemed to be laggy and have some system issues: It takes 5 mins to flash 3.4.6 over the top of 3.4.3 - you don't need to wipe.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cOmrade93:
thanks for the reply, fsck fixed the bootloop, but the tablet got stuck at the bootlogo

Well I decided to just reformat the ext4 partition, instead of spending a lot of time on this problem. And thats probably better than trying to fix a corrupt system. Its now up and running again with data2sd. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Nice one! :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I learned a lot from trying to fix broken things. Sometimes it takes a lot of time. And I do not always succeed. But more experience means more chance of success. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] cOmrade93:
Yeah thats true, I learned most of my computer skills from fixing problems :) But in this case I needed a quick fix, so I could use it for studying

Hey guys,

Every time I try to install this ROM, I get this error:

SYNTAX ERROR!!! aroma-config on line 79 col 2

E:Error in /sdcard/cr.zip

(Status 1)

No idea why...Reformatted everything, tried using an external SD to install.. Just won't work. Any ideas?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
For the future reference, don't disable journaling, this will cause boot looping, specially using in conjunction with disabled fsync. Disabled fsync is pretty safe. If you have journaling disabled, a "sudden reboot" can lead to corruption.

---------- Post added at 11:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

Seems like your internal maybe corrupted, try wipe "system", then "internal" then 'format sdcard", then try to install cromi again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] owlieowl:
Did all that, still no luck :/

Anything else I could try? I can run the aroma installer demo just fine..
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Check MD5 for your downloaded Cromi (ensure it's a good download), copy it to your internal and flash it from internal memory.
[Asus Transformer TF700] owlieowl:
MD5 checks out and that didn't make a difference. No idea what to do.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
De-Odex or Odex version?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
How about try to flash an other version see if that works.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:

Well putting aside a minor upload problem (I had no problems flashing) I am very happy!

I have Asus artist and Stickynotes now :laugh:

Neither had i disabled journaling, nor had I disabled fsync, I guess it was just bad luck :silly:

Problem with headset plug

Hi Guys,

I've tried researching this but found no answer so far (neither in Google nor at XDA). I have an unlocked and rooted TF700 and have been using CleanROM for the past few months. It's been working brilliantly, but after the last update I am facing the following problem: when I plug in any headset (tried two), the headset icon is not displayed and I am not able to regulate the headset volume (i.e it's at the max all the time!). Has any one of you face a similar issue?

Thx!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] fiidim:
Did you try a cold boot?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I think I removed the headphone icon with the no sd notification patch. Can you reinstall without it enabled to see if it fixes your problem please. How are you controlling the volume btw?

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

Recommend you replace the boot animation. Search in the tf300, prime forums as you can use theirs. Install the Nexus boot animation and then overwrite system/media/boot animation . zip with the downloaded one with the same permissions.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Proweedsmoker:
Just checking

Hey guys, I think Im ready to take the jump and join the super tablet club, just had 1 question before I commit... This is my 1st root/ unlock/ custom rom install ever!

Edit: All went smooth once I had the right USB Drivers installed (Would greatly help idiots like myself if maybe the OP could mention drivers in the guide, took me hours to figure out that little hitch), Downloading my 1st ROM now, and I cant wait to see how it works! Hopefully installing CROM v3.4.7 as my 1st will be OK!

Many thanks to everybody here!

Do have 1 more question: How do I disable the OTA updates from Asus, dont want to mess anything up...!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
You won't have any trouble with OTA's from now on.

OTA's are gone forever after unlocking.

Good luck and welcome to ROM flashing!

Installing that6 over Cromi 3.4.7 with Hundsbauh 1.4.3 logo loop

Hi. First, thank you for the incredible work and high performance software. I'm having difficulty installing that6 over the current running system. I did a clean install to get Cromi 3.4.7 with Hundsbauh 1.4.3. The system sits after getting to the boot logo after flashing that6 and the datasd fix. I want to try out the data2sd configuration.

I reloaded 10.4.4.25 JellyBean Bootloader and I'm using TWRP 2.4.4.0.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Provide more details, did you have your sdcard formatted correctly? You mentioned Hund 1.4.3 none data2sd version right? Once you get your sdcard formatted correctly, boot into TWRP and flash _that kernel V6, then again flash _that kernel-detect V6, now reboot your tablet. _that kernel should detect your data2sd card automatically, If found it boot and using the sdcard, if no ext4 found, it boot to internal storage.
[Asus Transformer TF700] awilson77584:
I'll reformat the sdcard. Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
If you are coming from hundsbuah flash that v4 from the kernel installer as it will replace the stock modules, then flash that v6

You can't upgrade from hunds to that without the kernel installer.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Looks like I should add the modules in future releases. Anything else other kernels destroy that I have to restore? Maybe the cpuX.sh scripts?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I replace the modules and cpux.sh scripts ;) oh you should clear 90hundsbuah from /system/etc/init.d as well if it exists :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] awilson77584:
Do we still need mount-data2sd, or is it OBE?

Thx
[Asus Transformer TF700] awilson77584:
I'm having a little difficulty partitioning my sdcard to ext4. My only computer with a sd reader is my MBP. I'm trying to load up the gparted iso with vmware or to use a linux vm to partition it. I haven't gotten it done yet. While looking up the cmd line instructions for parted, I ran across a note that suggests that using ext3 might be safer than using ext4 when fsync is off.

"Because of delayed allocation and other performance optimizations, ext4's behavior of writing files to disk is different from ext3. In ext4, a program's writes to the file system are not guaranteed to be on-disk unless the program issues an fsync() call afterwards.

By default, ext3 automatically forces newly created files to disk almost immediately even without fsync(). This behavior hid bugs in programs that did not use fsync() to to ensure that written data was on-disk. The ext4 file system, on the other hand, often waits several seconds to write out changes to disk, allowing it to combine and reorder writes for better disk performance than ext3."

Am I misreading this?

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Dysoncube:
Big fan of the oxygen rom. First time I've got the tf700 running smoothly, consistently.

Got a serious problem, though. I updated to the latest oxygen rom lately, with _that s kernel. Worked great, but at the same time my device doesn't charge anymore. It wont take power from the cable or the keyboard. I didn't realize the problem until it was fully decharged. Is this just a coincidence? Can a rom kill a devices ability to charge?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Didn't know Oxygen worked on the TF700...news to me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Remember that "fsync off" is a hack that makes the kernel ignore all fsync calls. Now read that paragraph again.

I think he's from the "GEEK SQUAD" !!:good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Dysoncube:
Whoops, I meant Cleanrom. Not sure why I had oxygen on the mind.

So, I have the latest Cleanrom installed on my TF700. Possibly coinciding with when my tablet stopped accepting a charge. Is there any chance the rom could have done this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I don't believe so no. Will it accept charge when completely turned off?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Dysoncube:
Nope, it won't accept a charge.

It's completely run out of power now, so I can't even test things on it.

It won't accept a charge from the keyboard, but the keyboard will gladly accept a charge. It's at full (judging by the LED being green).

Luckily I'm still under warranty with my local computer shop. I'm a little concerned about my data, though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Sounds like a bad/defective battery. Better off bring it to your local repair shop.
[Asus Transformer TF700] awilson77584:
I've messed up my Cromi installs trying to get data2sd working. I know that I missed an important step. Now even after a factory reset when I install 3.4.7 I get a lot of xyz process stopped messages and in the background there is a message stating that there are inconsistent UIDs.

What is the best way to recover to a good stable install?

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
When you did the factory reset, did you flash mount-data2sd before so that it actually resets your card and not the internal storage? Otherwise, just reformat your ext4 partition on the card again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] butcherbird:
Hi. :) I am still running 3.4.6 -- runs very well after a complete wipe. Will 3.4.6 be able to update to 4.2 when it is released? Or, do I have to update to 3.4.7?

Thank you!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Will be 3.x to 4 :)

Well I've had a bit of good luck. I won a 300 with keyboard from android police this week. Thank you nvidia and android police. I think i heard keypad is compatible with 700. Can someone verify this for me?

Actually there were two good lucks. I was one of the winners and i could have won a Sony.

I've thought the 300 was a very good tablet for the money. It going to be fun to see if it is. I started out with a prime. Bad asus. I exchanged it for an infinity. Sort of bad asus. Good cleanrom. 300 ???

what is SD ext

Hi sdbags, do you know what is "SD ext" button in the WIPE of TWRP?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
That is what flumpster has added. It'll wipe your data2sd partition I think. Ignore it if you don't want it.

Need some help, I recently bought my TF700 and not really knowing better, i did all the OTA updates to now include 4.2.1 Can i use the 4.2.1 bootloader and newest version of TWRP to flash this? or do i need to install the older bootloader? Thanks for any help
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
If your device is unlocked, that should work. I am running CROMI 3.4 with the new bootloader and found no problems so far.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kstack34:
Ok thanks, It is unlocked, just installed the newest version of twrp and am ready for CROMI....just wanted to make sure the newest bootloader wasnt going to cause problems
[Asus Transformer TF700] tvig0r0us:
Props

Hello. I just got my tf700t last week. Being an android mobile device junkie, the first thing I did was find out how to mod my device. Having been around the block several times with many devices, I have to say that the work sbdags has done on CROMI is without a doubt some of the best custom rom work I've seen in all my time hacking android devices. Very well done right down to the custom installation interface. I love all of the options on the front side of the install and it runs as smooth as silk on my device. Hat's off to you!!

Now, I just wanted to make sure I understand all of what I've read in this thread. I unlocked, installed TWRP for 10.4.4.25 and put CROMI on my device, which went off without a single hitch. After I saw the development status of CROM-X I went ahead and updated to the patched TWRP which, if I understand this right, updates my bootloader 10.6.1.14. In addition I downloaded the OTA update for jb 4.2.1 that was posted on the forums. My question is since I have the patched recovery, am I brickproof enough to experiment with the OTA update and do I have to back my system down to the stock 4.1.1 jellybean to effectively apply the OTA update. This ultimately is not the end game for my device as I'm confident that I'll install the full 4.2 CROM-X when it is completed, but do you recommend installing the current version of CROM-X to experience it or moving back to the stock asus rom, if it is possible to do so and apply the OTA update.

I'm aware that this question has been visited to some extent in this thread, but I want to make sure I've got it all straight. That aside, thanks a million to sbdags for his absolutely first rate work on this rom.

Cheers :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
IMHO, if you are not planning to create another custom ROM based on stock 10.6.1.14.4 from scratch, it makes no sense to do it yourself instead of installing CROMi-X.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tvig0r0us:
I figured something to that effect. So the better options would be to go ahead with CROMi-X and just roll it back to my current CROMi rom if I don't like it. The version that's out now is based on the tf700 kernel so I can have a complete taste. I'm mainly concerned with the brickability of my device from switching back and forth between these roms. If I understood correctly, the patched TWRP will give me the ability to flash to either rom fairly worry free, right?

Sorry if this is a noob recycled question... I'm just taking every precaution to avoid becoming the owner of a $400 brick. ;)

Thanks for your help!

Cheers :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I still can't see any technical reason for that patched TWRP on the TF700 (apparently it is very important for the TF300 though). I used an unpatched TWRP 2.4.1 to install parts of the new Asus ROM, and had no issues. The new bootloader works with 4.1 and 4.2 JB ROMs.

Very wise to read and ask before making a possibly wrong move. Many TF300 owners who didn't are now proud owners of expensive electronic paperweights.

Problem with internal memory partioning ?

Hi everyone!

this is my first post on xda :cowboy:

I have been using Android for a few years and flashed many roms on my HTC Desire phone and I have updated CROMI each time when there's a new version on my Infinity tablet.

A recently noticed a little problem on my Infinity. I am not completly sure if this thread is the best place to post it, but maybe some of you can help me out. thanks anyway.

So.. the problem :

I have a 64GB Infinity and I am on CROMI 3.4.7. I was installing some apps last week untill suddenly I received the message that I had not enough space left. I first thought it was an other problem, but when I checked Settings -> Storage I found out that my total available internal storage was only 0.94GB ! (see first attached screenshot).

The problem is I am not sure when this started. .The only thing that I have done outside flashing CROMI each time when there's a new version is install Ubuntu once (based on the HOW-TO from Dominik Stößel on youtube). That was about 2 months ago. To be honest I can NOT say 100% sure that the problem dates from after that because I have not installed many applications the last months.

My recovery is TWRP 2.4.1.0 and I have the 10.4.4.25 JB Bootloader.

Yesterday I flashed CM 10.1 for the first time, just to see how that would end up.

This is what I did :

- in TWRP : factory reset/full wipe of everything

- flash CM10.1. And you see the result of the internal memory on the second screenshot I attached.

Then afterwards I did again :

- factory reset / full wipe of everything

- flash CROMI 3.4.7 again

and rebooted. The strange thing was that I immediatly came back in CROMI home screen without the install wizard. My settings and applications were still there.

Anyway. I am a bit stuck for the moment.

I have no idea what to do to fix this, but it seems to me that in some way the internal memory is split up in 2, one specific +- 1GB part for CROMI or something... but that's just a wild guess of course...

Can someone help me with this? I tried googling and searching on the forum, did not find anything...

If I need to give you more info pease tell me!

thx a lot! :fingers-crossed:

Do you happen to have a microSD card with a second partition inserted that is formatted as ext4? One of my kernels detects this situation and assumes you want to use it for Android /data instead of internal storage.
[Asus Transformer TF700] The_Bending_Unit:
AHA!! I came to the right place!! ;) wow.. damn.. I never even thought about removing the microsd!! :o

I mostly just kept it in the tablet so indeed I must have happened the moment I installed your kernel!

YES I do have a 32GB microSD card and indeed I completely forgot that I created an ext3 parition of 1GB on it (some time ago I used it in my phone for a week to extend it's internal memory) and that didn't show up in windows of course.

sometimes such an easy solution!! lol.. I have been wondering for days what it could be!!

So I removed the SD card, my tablet immediately crashed and rebooted and the Android Setup Wizard showed up.

thanks a lot _that!!! :highfive:

great work on those kernels btw!

cheers!!

Confused!

Hello all!

I have finally come to the conclusion that Asus can't make software for their own devices, so I have decided to install CROMi. There are however some points that are confusing me a bit_

- At the moment I'm running a completely stock 4.2.1. Not yet unlocked or rooted. Is it possible to install CROMi 3.4.7, or should I wait for the next version or try the CROMi-x?

- I have read something about a patched/upgraded TWRP 2.2.4.0. Is there several version, or are people just referring to updating TO 2.2.4.0?

-What Is a "custom recovery"? I understand that I should make a recovery (Backup) in TWRP before flashing. Is the recovery i make there a "custom recovery", or is that something else?

TIA :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
TWRP is a custom recovery (...environment). CWM is the other well-known custom recovery, but less common on the TF700.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tvig0r0us:
Well, I went ahead and took the leap and installed the CROMi-X. I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised with how smooth it runs and even though my s3 is on 4.1.2, this feels much more like it, which I find pleasing. I did however encounter a problem when I went to use the camera. I opened the camera and everthing was fine with the front camera. I went to switch to the screenside camera and got a fc message for gallery. When I went to reload the camera app it gave me a cannot connect to camera message.

All in all I'm really liking the 4.2 rom. Great work!! Just wanted to report the issue since I hadn't seen anything about it in the known issue list in the dev thread.

Cheers :D

Edit- Restarted the device and retested to see if I could repeoduce the error. Everything seemed to work without error. Don't know if that was a once and out problem, but it may be worth checking out if others experience it too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ali I Hagen:
Just to follow up an old post, It got much better right after upgrading to 3.4.6. After couple days of use it got minor laggy. But what the heck. It's minor. It doesnt matter now, your 4.2 version is releasing soon.

Thanks for your great work. So, shut up and take my money, pal :P
[Asus Transformer TF700] MattBlaK:
Hi all!

It's my first post here but I watch in awe at how much you guys know collectively... Anyway enough of the sucking up :) I finally got CROMi and data2sd working after hundreds of failed attempts and then realising my mistake, Kernal versions... So I've got it like I want it now but I just wanted to ask that if I update to the next CROMi version will I have to format the SD or lose all my settings again? Aka start from scratch?

Thanks in advance!

[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
No, you don't have to start from scratch. Your sdcard should be fine. If you can keep data or not that depended on sdbags new release.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MattBlaK:
Cool thanks. I take it when you say about the new release you mean if it's a drastic update and the new rom needs an overhaul?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I meant when sdbags released his new rom and he will instruct us to wipe data or not to wipe data. If he said we need to wipe then you will have to backup your data then wipe, install his new rom, then use Titanium backup to restore.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MattBlaK:
Yeah, I think I meant that but my explanation wasn't as concise :) Nice one

boot loop after battery drain

Went to use my TF700 this morning and the battery was completely dead...after charging it to about 50% i tried to reboot and its stuck in boot loop. i tried a dirty flash and no results. I do have data2SD installed so im not sure if that has anything to do with it..Is this a common problem if the battery is fully drained?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
This usually caused by corruption of the sdcard, you can try to fix the card or just reformat the card. For the future reference, don't disabled journaling with data2sd.
