That's a great guide mate but why root then unlock bootloader? The only reason I can think of is to backup apps with titanium backup, if that's the case I would add that but apart from that this is where I'll send people for step by step instructions
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Great Guide!

Can you put this in a new post in General please? Then I and new ME301T users can reference it :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] archspijkenisse:
Yes , i think you are right and you can skip the root thing and unlock right away.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
I would add the save apps part and the post in general like sbdags said so it's there for reference

Interesting. It's been so long since I rooted my tablet I had to research the method I used. But I used SuperSU.zip, installed from TWRP 2.4. That said, you don't have to root with a separate program if you are installing a custom ROM such as CDROM-X. Your tablet will be rooted once the ROM is installed.

I agree that tablets act differently. But TWRP 2.6 seems to have a lot of bad reports where 2.5 is rock solid. Given that I don't recommend 2.6 to anybody.

The following link is the best guide I have seen on the topics of rooting, updating and installing custom ROMs: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2187982

I'm on 10.6.1.29 on ME301T so I need to install v .25 from the Asus and downgrade and then only I can install rom recovery and root ?

from Asus MemoPad
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mescalinedreamz:
I accidentally installed 2.6 by mistake. I was using cleanrom 3.4.7 and wanted to try chromi 4.7.0. I dowloaded twrp that was 2.5 patched version to update my bootloader. I installed 2.5 after installing asus 10.1.163 or whatever its numbered. After booting twrp i noticed it saying it was version 2.6!

So there is a mislabeled 2.5 patched version of twrp that is in fact 2.6. I am now using 5.0c with twrp 2.6 with no problems. I was able to make a backup but havent tried to use it yet on 2.6. It did freak me out after i factory reset 5.03 in order to flash 5.0c, twrp asked me for a password? I entered a blank one and it let me through. I had also needed to flash 5.03 a few times because of lags and browser problems. 3 times is a charm though.

Use 2.6 only if you are suckered into it like i was!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Moe5508:
Same issue here, on similar setup...:confused:
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
no mate you only need to downgrade if you need to back up all your apps and there data (you can back up apps without root but you lose all the data like progress if if its a game) if you dont mind starting from scratch like when you first bought you tablet then just skip the root part and just follow this part

Next, enable USB Debugging:

Go to settings > about Tablet

Now tap on Build Number seven times repeatedly. Once you press it 5 times it gives you a quick note: “Press it two more times to be a developer!”. And, after tapping 7 times you will see ‘You are now a developer’ message.

Now go to Settings > developer options and enable USB Debugging.

Unlock your tablet

Download the unlock tool, put it on your tablet and use a file manger to locate the file on your tablet and run it.

Your bootloader will be unlocked after running this app (You lose warranty!):

Unlock Tool

Install Android SDK + ADB Driver

Download it here:

- Install on PC

Install TWRP recovery

Download the file TWRP Flashscript ME301 - Magixen:

tool

- Run “Klicke mich zum starten”

Follow the steps and your tablet should have TWRP recovery installed.

Install CROMI

- Download the latest Cromi X and put it on the root of your tablet.

- Power off tablet.

- Reboot to recovery (Power on + Volume down button)

- Wipe Cache, Dalvik and System.

- Install from zip and choose the downloaded Cromi file.

After reboot your tablet is running Cromi.

I think that should be it.

I apologize for the confusion. I am a Traumatic Brain Injury survivor (choked on a piece of the best brisket I ever made. I was anoxic for seven and a half minutes. Miracle that I survived) and my thoughts sometimes don't come across exactly as I intend.

When I rooted my TF300 I first unlocked the boot loader. This gave me the ability to use fastboot to push TWRP using the stock recovery. With TWRP installed I rebooted stock back into recovery which launched TWRP. Then rebooting to system using TWRP 2.6 the first thing it does is check for root. If it does not find it offers to install SuperSU for you. As soon as the tablet boots up you just need to launch SuperSU and install the binaries. That's the method I used. The idea came to me from compiling bits and pieces found throughout this forum since at the time I could not find a concise method for rooting 10.6.1.25.1

I really hope I made things at least a bit clearer to understand. Please let me know if I can assist you further.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mister363:
I found a minor bug on tf300tg, sometimes when i select wifi or air mode the message stay locked at the center of the screen.

Everything works good!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] alexv59:
I respectfully beg to differ at least from my experiences with this device. I do, however, agree that there have been many problems with 2.6. I took a leap of faith using it on my tablet since it appeared that it was the only method to gain root with the recent recent firmware that was on my tablet. All the other methods posted in these forums did not work with 10.6.x and there were several threads exhibiting frustration that the traditional methods were not working. If it makes a difference my ultimate goal was to install an AOSP ROM

Also, when I was searching for a solution all the TF300 forums had very little recent activity on them. Most of the threads from sometime in July. It was a virtual ghost town here. Now it's like a gold rush boomtown here. Second wind or was everyone on vacation? *laughs*

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] alexv59:
Where were you when I was blindly stumbling around for a solution to my issue? :) I've always used either Samsung or HTC devices. This device was totally foreign to me.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] alexv59:
I agree 100%. I use 2.5 on all of my other devices. It's just that in this case I was not able to find any other method like the one drags outlined. Everything I read said that motochopper did not work. I must have been doing something wrong because I couldn't get it to work either so I had to get creative. :)

WTF IS GOING ON WITH THE BOOTANIMATION??? I thought I broke until I saw "have a nice day" at the end lmfao

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

It turns out that that something is broke :( everything I try sends me to a boot loop? I'm gonna try v5rc1 now see if that works
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Not seen any issues in testing. RC1 was corrupting data - maybe something got corrupted and only showed up when you lashed RC2? Try a format data and clean install....
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
Tried that mate no good and I can't restore my nandroid either it just says failed
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Yes it can. Deep breaths. Go to TWRP (not 2.6 as it is pap) and go to wipe and choose format data button. Then reinstall.

Which kernel were you trying to install?

Anyone else having issues?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
I did try to wipe mate and still no good but I was using that's kernel as always mate
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Not wipe you MUST format. Your data partition is corrupted. That is why you can't boot or restore a nandroid.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
I used the advanced one first and that failed but then I did the format and typed yes no its restoring so fingers crossed it works

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------

phew sbdags to the rescue, cheers bro im fixed lol but i on 4.6.7 lol can i just go straight back to v5rc2 but not extreme version lol
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
It would be good if we could work out what corrupted you. I suspect it was something in RC1.

Technically you can jump to RC2 but why don't you take this opportunity to do a clean install?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
Oh yeah I will mate, I did when I went to the v5 beta so that's no bother at all, and I just sent you a pm with what happened to me, I can give a list of what I flashed too mate if that help at all:)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
See how you get on - you are the only person who reported a problem and I just want to make sure it works on the TF300. I doubt it's part of the flash - like I said more likely the previous setup corrupted something and you didn't notice until trying to write something to the partition when it borked.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
Ok mate I'll wipe and try v5rc2 in the morning with extreme tweaks and see how we go :)

Verifying when Data2SD is active.

Hey there sdbags

Just loving the 5RC2 ROM. It is working flawlessly for me, and I really appreciate your work and the work of the tireless contributors that keep the awesome flowing.

I blew $12 on the RAMEXPANDER app while trying to fix the laggy tablet performance when downloading and browsing. I didn't realise it was the cheap eMMC ASUS put on the mainboard that was the issue and *not* the RAM. Luckily the dev was good enough to refund my money.

I'm running the Hunds Data2SD kernel, and I'm pretty sure things are running off the 16GB card now. When I explore my system using ES File Explorer, I get:

Home (internal SD

Device (which shows / )

Download

0 (being the microsd)

When I tap on 0, I get a mirrored list of folders from Home. That suggests to me that Data2SD is doing its job. Data2SD, from what I read basically creates symlinks so if I see a mirror of my Home directory, I'm running on Class 10 UHS-1 power, right?

Because I chose Cache2SD as well on install, would the effects of Data2SD cancel out the intent of Cache2SD?

I only have the recommended two partitions [1] on the microsd card for Data2SD, so just wondering if I should re-flash and deactivate Cache2SD

Note to self - should probably rename "0" to something more intuitive like Data2SD or something.

Today i flashed v5rc2 over rc1 and my "Google Drive" app crashes after some seconds when i want to open the app.

I reinstalled the app from playstore but it chrased again. Reboots also show no effect.

In the few seconds until it crashes i can use the app.

Other apps are still functionating

can someone help me? :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Yes it is crashing because you installed cache2sd. Not all apps are compatible with it.

Either reinstall the rom and don't choose cache2sd or from the terminal command line type cache2sd -u to unmount
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] robgee789:
mine is fine mate the only thing i can suggest it try clearing all the data by click and drag to app to app info then clear all the data or uninstall in then reinstall it from the play store

Car charger issue?

I purchased a car charger for my TF300T (from Amazon) and to my frustration, when I plug the tablet in to charge, it locks up. Can't open any apps or even shut it down with the charger plugged into the USB. Once I remove the charger everything starts working again.

Is there anything in the latest version of CROMI-X that might cause this unusual behavior? Couldn;'t see it being the case but thought I would elimiate any possible cause before returning the charger.

Rather irritating since we are going on vacation Thursday for 10 days and I was hoping to have the charger for the 900 mile journey and while on vacation.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] hawk05:
Thanks that was it :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] RagingHarry:
Just went for a full fresh install of 5rc2, but am i overlooking something or is the no notification patch missing.

Seeing the ext storage inserted message atm.

Reran the installer and still could not find this patch.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Neccie:
Use the crom control tool that's included while installing the rom.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
I suspect the charger is not providing the correct voltage. It needs to provide at least 12V. What is it outputting? It could also be faulty.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] :
Just to clarify: You're not trying to charge the tablet through the USB port of the keyboard, right? You are using the port at the bottom of the tablet, or the one on the left of the tablet.

I am asking because you mentioned you plugged the charger "into the USB". I'm pretty sure you're aware of the fact that that would not be the proper way to charge the TF300(T), but I just wanted to make sure.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Thank you - It's amazing how many people don't read the change logs or look at their apps :p

For those that haven't realised you can choose which notifications to show from the CROMI CONTROL App that elesbb built for doing this. Thank you!

Worth a try I hate my HTC sensation :(
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pastorbob62:
It's rated at 15 volts, 1.2 amps but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's actually giving that. The description on Amazon included the TF300T as being one of the compatible tablets. I suspect it is a faulty charger. But after leaving it connected for about 15 minutes it did charge up several percentage points. I am going to return it since having a charger that won't allow me to use the tablet while plugged in is kinda worthless.

Thanks for the feedback.

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

ROTFL! Right! No, not charging through the SD card slot, nor the docking station (I don't own one), but at the bottom of the tablet, the same place I would plug the wall-charger. I can see how confusing my post might have been. I was in a hurry when I wrote it.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] elesbb:
Ha i love mine too! :D best thing ever! :D

I have a feeling you got a faulty charger. I got one too so don't feel bad ;) however mine isnt as bad as yours. When i plug mine in, the digitizer goes all whack and acts like its being touched when its not. So yours seems like it locks up the tablet completely, disabling all touch and button presses. Is it a simple cigaratte lighter adapter to a USB port or is the cable attached to the actual part that plugs in? If it is a cigarrette lighter to USB try using the STOCK USB cable and not the one provided. If it is a direct connection, i recommend getting a refund. :)Its not your tab or the ROM its your charger
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pastorbob62:
I agree. I tried the wall charger and it works perfectly which told me it wasn't the ROM or kernel. It is a drect connect and plugs into the standard spot that the wall charger goes into

Oddly enough, it does charge, but just won't allow use of my tablet as long as it is plugged in. Fortunately I bought it through Amazon so returnng it won't be a problem. Kinda stinks that I won't be able to replace it before we leave Thursday. That's one drawback when you live in the midde of the corn fields in the midwestern USA.:laugh:

Hahahah i live in the middle of redneck pennsylvania so i know exactly what you mean xD i would recommend charging the dock (if you have it) and the tablet before leaving. And if you feel comfortable enough, plug the tab into the charger when say a movie is playing and you don't need to interact with the tab. Or wait till it dies and charge it when you arent using it. Thats what i do with my faulty charger.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Goddly:
same situation here with the wall (non usb) charger, though ... i have found that with the dock attatched it charges the dock, which inturn.. charges the tab .. but it wont charge the tablet directly (without making the tab "spaz out" ...

Is it an aftermarket charger? I have only seen this happen with the aftermarket charger i have.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] NapalmDawn:
Speaking of faulty chargers...the charger that came with the TF101 I snagged off E-bay proved to be wonky. If I had the tablet plugged into that charger, the screen was not responding as well as it should. You had to try and swipe things like 5 or 6 times. You'd think the digitizer was going bad. As soon as I'd unplug it, it would work fine. I chalked it up to just being a tab issue. When my TF201 arrived and I tried THAT power cord on the tablet, it worked fine. Pretty sure it was a stock ASUS charger too.
