Hey guys!

I am trying to downgrade my current Stock 4.2.1 Rom to either 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 either stock or custom if possible even factory original.

How would I go about doing this as there is no clear cut instructions I could find....not sure if I can use NVFlash???

I previously had root performed using the VoodooOTA Method. Now I have unlocked the bootloader and also managed to install the TWRP Custom Recovery....although I do not think it has been installed correctly as it is unable to mount certain directories...../cache or /data and /system are some examples.....not sure if that is because of version or because of changes done to root enabler by new firmware upgrade.

If anyone has clear instructions or could point me in the right direction I would highly appreciate it!

Thanks
[Transformer TF300T General] crossmission:
There might be a few issues with the new OTA update and recovery, if you already have a backup with nvflash from when you had ICS then yes there is a guide you can use to go back,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1894867

if not then you should either try to flash one of the stock ROMs mentioned in the sticky in the Android Development section

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1697227

or if you think twrp is not working well you should wait just in case you do damage to your device. There is a chance some partitions have been altered in the new update and twrp needs to be updated, by whoever is responsible for our version, to be able to function properly.

If the reason you want to go back is the launcher then there is an option to switch to the 4.1 launcher in the options, not sure where exactly but if you look a bit further down in this section you'll find someone else posting something about it.

And a last suggestion is that when you have a question better post it in the appropriate section ;)
[Transformer TF300T General] rakesh219:
hahahaha! funny u mention that coz i think I screwed up :silly: ...What I did was download the official bootloader from the Asus Website ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T Firmware: V10.4.2.20 Only for US SKU (Android 4.1) and use fastboot to flash the blob file.....now the only thing it does is spin at ASUS (boot loop)....The funny thing is it did affect how the fast boot option loads though it now shows up with the option of USB....and does not automatically go to fastboot.....my comp recognizes both in fastboot and adb the device so there is something......just performed a cache and dalvik wipe but to no vail and prior did a fix permission.....ALSO I do not receive any error with regards to mounting like before....

btw....which section would this fall under??? Development?
[Transformer TF300T General] rakesh219:
OKAY!!!!!! Im back in business.....WOOT!!! It worked just had to perform a factory reset to stop boot loop

[Transformer TF300T General] ilyuha1108:
Wow, you managed to downgrade. Can you post a proper instruction? :)
[Transformer TF300T General] Ashcunak:

details please im sorta lost on what happened here.
[Transformer TF300T General] rakesh219:
Yup sure can do it just give me a few hours trying to fix the dishwasher :good:
[Transformer TF300T General] Ashcunak:
any chance your running WW and not US and could now grab us the WW OTA update file :)
[Transformer TF300T General] crossmission:
I am pretty sure he said that he is unlocked and running twrp, you can flash whatever rom you want from recovery but it will not bring back the ICS bootloader and the ability to have NVFLASH or even the 4.1 BL, so in reality he flashed a new rom and not actually downgrade to the previous state of the tablet.
[Transformer TF300T General] rakesh219:
That is actually correct, I dont know if itwill work in general but I previously had my OS rooted and backed up using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper. The only thing that I did new from here on is

1. Backup an Nandroid using ADB Terminal Access -

adb backup –apk –shared –all –f C:\Android_Asus_4-2-1.ab

Ofcourse in-order to perform this feat you would need Android SDK Tools Package and Google USB Drivers installed on the drive

2. Perform the unlock bootloader using the apk found on the Asus Website

3. Flash Stock Rom that can be downloaded from Asus or here

using fastboot

4. Flash TWRP for JB using fast boot with help of link

5. Go into recovery Wipe Dalvik and Cache and Factory Restore

6. And boot!

Okay I know this is no GUIDE as I am press with time....I will try to make a proper one. but in all honesty I would just wait for the REAL DEV's to post the solution to 4.2.1
[Transformer TF300T General] IceC47:
Hi,

I need to downgrade my tab as my touch doesn't work and need to flash other firmware it. It was told to me to downgrade and it should work, but was said I need TWRP because with CWM I could brick my tab. Without touch it's impossible to use TWRP. I have ulocked bootloader and rooted. Your guide doesn't seem to need of use exactly TWRP as Wipe Dalvik and Cache is worked when I rooted tab.
[General Questions and Answers] Birthday Suit:
Hey,

I've still got my forum training wheels on, and so I'll just put this Q here (rather than the directly related thread).

I've seen a few people ask this, but haven't yet found a conclusive answer.

I use my TF with this ROM and think it's great, not had any issues to speak of. However, I did love the HC/ICS (4.1) screen layout, where the notifications were in the bottom right along with the clock etc. There was no status bar at the top and Nav buttons were in the lower left. My question is... Is it possible to get this back, whilst still using the 4.2 ROM?

Hopefully somebody knows the answer....

I understand that this would require 4.1 launcher to be ported to 4.2, but I could be wrong.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
I have that tablet running that ROM, but I've gotten used to 4.2 and haven't looked for a way to change it.

You should ask this in the TF101 forums.

I'm not sure how much a launcher could really do, but I'd Google "get back tablet layout in 4.2" or something to start checking it out on my own. :)

I'm not sure this is that easy. I use Apex launcher on that tablet and ROM and the layout doesn't change. I'm thinking that's a deeper layer than a launcher works with. I think you'd need a ROM with that baked in.
[General Questions and Answers] Birthday Suit:
Hi Pennycake,

Thanks for the reply!

I've done lots of forum and Google hunting, but had little success...!

I've no grumbles using the phablet style layout. I just think that it was neater having everything on the navbar (tablet style).

I'll keep on looking and maybe stumble over something.

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] Birthday Suit:
Impossible...!?

So this is looking like it's not really possible without work being done to the SystemUI.

Withing the Eos Control Centre (This comes as part of the TeamEOS 4 ROM for TF101), there is a tablet option, but this leaves the status bar at the top.

I'll keep digging, but i won't hold my breath!!

Case closed...

Problems with nightly ROM 111

I have a TF101 and finally decided to root and install the JB ROM. I started with EOS JDQ39 Nightly 108 and gapps_4.2.2_TF101_20130323b. This worked fine but when I updated to the nightly 111 I noticed that I Google play was not working. I would click on the app and it would start to load but disappear. It appears that I am not logged in anymore because gmail does not work either. I have tried to delete data from the gmail app and google play store from settings but the did not work. I have tried installing gapps again. Does not work. I tried another gapps, gapps-jb-20130301-signed and that just freezes my tablet on the EeePad screen.

Any ideas on how to get signed in on the tablet without a factory reset?
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fit101:
I have a Q that stops playing music after 20 min and displays "music player has stopped". When I restart it, it displays "cannot play the stream you requested". It still shows I'm connected to the Q and allows me to add music to it but will not allow me to play music until I reset it by unplugging it and plugging it back in. It then will play for another 20 to 30 minutes before it displays the same message again. I've tried using the Ethernet connection as well instead of WiFi...still has the same issue.

Any ideas? I'm getting frustrated...so any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BitVenom:
Ditto - it was acting this way a while ago, but only over the last few days has it gotten like this. I've got 10k+ songs up on Play (and yeah, I use the service to buy music when possible) - so this ranks as extremely annoying...

Cheers!
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fit101:
The interesting thing is that in my Google Music account it shows what devices I have that are authorized to access Google Music, however the Nexus Q does not show up on that list. This is concerning to me, I wonder if it has something to do with why the Q is shutting music down intermittently like that.
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natojohnson:
I don't think the Q has ever shown up in the authorized device list (and don't think it should since anyone should be able to play music through it).

As for the issue playing music - I see this as well on all of my Qs (3) and it sucks.
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BitVenom:
I know this is unsupported hardware - but at least for me, this device sort of fulfills the promise of what makes Play Music 'tick' - and I use it as intended daily. So this thing just blowing up and not working (and I was just about to grab another from eBay) - blows, hard. Since there's nothing to replace it at the moment aside from moving to another 'ecology'.... (Sonos, etc)...
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natojohnson:
It seems that it stopped working correctly for me somewhere around the last update of the Play Music app (no hard data on this, just seems about the right timeframe to me). So I'm hoping another update fixes it. As I said, I have 3 Qs and all of them have this problem so getting another from ebay won't fix your issue (EDIT: misread your post on reasons for getting another...I'm holding out hope that i/o this year will shed some light on future support of these devices - if not, as long as they keep them working as they were i'll be happy enough).
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agalvin13:
I am also having a lot of connectivity issues with my Q lately. I was starting to think it was my rom on my phone causing it but am now starting to wonder if this is a server side issue with google play.

I am running AOKP PUB, Franco r102 and the volume boost mod on my nexus 4. I previously was running stock and feel like these issues were not happening until flashing these roms / mods.

Edit : good theory about the google play / services update.
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fit101:
I would think that considering you need a Android device to initially sync it with your Google Music account, you're accessing your music account as one of your devices and therefore should show up on your device list...but I could be wrong.
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BitVenom:
I don't think that was ever right - remember, a Nexus Q can play content from _any_ compatible device's content stream - it piggyback's that device's authorization for a specific track or video - that's why it works well for groups... anyone can add any of _their_ content to it's playlist.

So I don't think device or account specific auth is the core issue. I think it's related to lack of updates as the play service backend changes, certainly - but little else...

I sort of think that Googlers themselves with Nexus Qs that see these issues will ultimately come to our rescue - but it will be slow to happen...

Yes, sounds like you are sharing the same issue we are. There's an old saying "Misery loves company"...I just hope Google gets off their rear end and fixes this.

[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
I wonder who we can get a hold of to let Google know about the issue. I have a feeling contacting support would be useless. Anyone know who the engineers were that worked on the Q? I wonder if we could ping them on G+ or something. I'm sure there isn't a big enough user base for the tech sites to cover it, so going that route wouldn't work either.

I mean I love the Q but it does 2 things and 1 of them doesn't work. That should be a big enough issue for Google to fix.
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fit101:
I did contact Google tech support in the beginning when it first started happening, and have been in contact with them via email ever since. Because of the limited quantity of units out there, the tech support has very little data, nor much ability to help. I have also emailed them a link to this thread in hopes that it would spark some deeper tech support. It may help if we all follow that route, Maybe the squeaky wheel gets the grease? LOL
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fit101:
We need more Nexus Q users to chime in.
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agalvin13:
I think this is the best course of action but am not good on G+ to figure that out.

As a work around. I connected my Q to a power strip with an on and off switch. I simply cut the power off and on to hard reset the Q. Once it boots up it is able to stream music. This is less than ideal as I liked to be able to put music on essentially as i walked in my front door with guests but now requires me to go "turn the thing on" so to speak. Hopefully, the google groups thread gains some traction.

Seriously, it is really sad to see the Q robbed of the one thing it was actually doing (and being great at) - streaming music from the Cloud.

I experience the same behaviour as everyone else. Playback stops after 20-30min. It's just an impression, but hitting the "shuffle" or "loop all" options seems to make things worse.

I really hope Google fixes this. And while they are at it, bring back the "Play album" options in the music player. I can't understand why an option menu for music tracks doesn't show an entry to play back those tracks...

sadly all we can do is wait. I have had to use the google groups before and although they acknowledge the issue, they are very tight lipped about giving official responses. My Q is sitting in a box in my closet as it essentially became a shotput. Paul isn't an engineer, he simply is the moderator of the google groups forums. At least we know Google is aware of the issue. Whether or not they decide to have a person or team work to solve the issue is up in the air. I would not be surprised if they decide not to allocate resources to fixing the Q or if there is some technical reason why it stopped working. It may be that unless they release an update in firmware for the Q they cannot revive it. :crying:
