Is the play store opening up to a specific app? If so, that would be some sort of advertisment software on your device. However, if its something else, a screenshot would be nice.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
Sounds like what happened to me as well...
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Can you tell me what you flashed please. So I can try to eliminate the causes. I have some ideas but it would be good to know what happened.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jettubby:
What's the word? Any better? 333 was causing me reboots also. I think 333 is the "666" of kernels. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
I'm guessing but what i think he is saying is, when you watch the process happening you see the raw data on drive. These are clusters with data in them, but no longer used. Its a little scary to see it, because even after a format the data is there until overwritten, meaning someone with the right setup can still get data from a formated drive. I use a multiple erase program on pc because of this. Need to find a secure erase program for android particularly of your selling tablet or doing naughty things.

Hit the power button, choose restart and choose reboot to boot loader ;)

What is your version in the top left corner?
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
Would LOVE a proper format script for android :) Currently it feels like sweeping a floor and just hiding all of the dust under the carpet :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ferator:
Thank you

Here is what i have:

Key driver missing... booting os

Android card-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "ww_epad-10.6.1.14.8 - 2013 05 14" A03
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
Sbdags

I'm running with ex settings and _thats kernal. I checked cache to sd and here is log file.

Starting on Sat Aug 24 10:51:19 PDT 2013

Running Android version 4.2.1

...

SD not found after 90 sec.

cache2sd has been disabled

?

Woody

Update

On second boot service started. Maybe this is normal.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
This command will wipe (overwrite) every single bit of the data partition (run from adb in the recovery, but only if you really want to lose all your data, including /sdcard), and it will take some time (estimated 1-2 hours, maybe more, maybe less):

dd if =/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8

After that you need to format it.

For all normal purposes, "format data" should be enough.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes the init.d script has 90 secs to find the sd card if it doesn't it aborts. Mine gets found in about 23 secs I think, You must have a lot going on at boot? Maybe if you wiped dalvik or cache that would explain it?

I'm not convinced that cache2sd brings benefits to the ROM currently. The jury is out so I'd like some more opinions and experiences please. The issue is even with a fast card it can introduce some lag. So if you have a slower card than a UHS-1 card there is little benefit.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
Thanx for this :) Exactly what I wanted to make sure I have a clean device after my fail this morning...

Do I just wait for the KILL button to disappear and the prompt to appear?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MangeS2:
Thanks alot for latest update, runs like a dream.

58xx first qudrant test with _that modded stock kernel and fsynch disabled.
[Asus Transformer TF700] I_EAT_BABIES:
Kind of off topic, but do I need to set up data to SD to get cache to SD to work? Been out of the loop with TF7900 mods for the past few months.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No the point is you don't need to mess with the card. Just flash and go ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] I_EAT_BABIES:
Awesome! data to SD still has to be set up manually right?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes if you want to faff around with linux, using gparted to set up fat32 and ext4 partitions and then go through all the hassle of resetting everything up only to find it is not significantly quicker and you now have reboots and data loss then yes :) **

** Note I have never used data2sd but that is the impression I get from all the help posts :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I always recommend running shell commands from adb shell, not from the minimal command line built into TWRP. In any case, dd will output a few lines of text when it's done, including a summary of bytes copied and elapsed time (post the result, I'd like to know how long it really takes).

If you are using data2sd, cache is already on the external card and you should not use cache2sd.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
When i rebooted cache2sd loaded just fine. I see no difference with quadrant but it might not show except for a particular program. With 700 io problems i wonder if something like this is worth it in the long run.

Thumbs up on v5rc extreme so far.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Drenus:
After formatting data, I installed RC1/extreme tweaks/180DPI/fsync disablde/Hund 3.3.4, and it's very snappy! The transition stutter when swiping between screens is gone and my tablet even boots faster. Before, it would take about 45+ seconds to go from initial ASUS logo screen to being able to use the tablet. Now it's a little over 30 seconds between ASUS logo and tablet usage. I trimmed down on the number of installed apps but I've never had my tablet boot up so quickly. Thanks for all your hard work!
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
Do I run adb shell in the TWRP Terminal Window?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
No, on your connected PC.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
I starts, gives me a weird prompt and then quits
[Asus Transformer TF700] maxal:
I havn't tried the cache2sd yet do you have to format the fast card to fat32 or ext4 or does it not matter?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No just flash and go - it can use any partition type ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] maxal:
Thanks mate will try it tonight.:good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The "~ #" is the recovery's root shell prompt, and the stuff after that is your terminal failing to interpret a control sequence, which is normal for Windows and harmless (only ugly).

If it quits immediately after that without giving you a chance to type a command, that's strange. Workaround: type your command directly after "adb shell", e.g. "adb shell killall -USR1 dd" to see how far dd has already progressed (if you had started it from somewhere else).
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
So, after 2 hours and 25 minutes (8742 seconds), I'm through 25.6GB of the 64GB drive... [MENTION=5242980]3MB[/MENTION]/s

Is this still running if the KILL button is still visible?

PS: I'm learning so many cool things tonight :) Thanx guys :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes it's still running whilst that kill button is available. As soon as it finishes it the kill button will disappear. But looks like you have another 3+ hours to go until you get to that point :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
hmm, maybe it would have been faster if we had specified a bigger blocksize, e.g. "dd if=... of=... bs=64k".

I think so. When it's finished, it will output a similar line as a summary.

If you do not really need a secure erase (because you are selling your tablet), you can also kill it now if you don't want to wait longer. It won't really make a difference after you format the partition.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
Thanx :)

Off to bed now for me :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] maxal:
I thought I would try this and mine seems to have stopped on the first run for data at, clone multiply-claimed blocks? yes,

and the "kill button" is still there.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pierrekid:
After reaching final menu after flashing should we wipe dalvik and cache?

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

By final menu I mean at the end where the option for wipe cache / dalvik, home and reboot system are
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
When you first start the process it also gives you the same option in the installer - maybe you didn't see it. So if you chose it as part of the installation then there is no point doing it again, if you didn't there is no harm in wiping them but it will make your boot time straight after significantly longer.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It can take a long time. Like 2 hours plus.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pierrekid:
Yes I saw the option but wasn't sure if the two options ( one during installation and one at the end) were synonymous. Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] maxal:
Ok thanks, I thought it was asking me to to confirm yes.
[Asus Transformer TF700] NIKEstickER:
roms running good. was really laggy when the keyboard was connected for the first couple days but is good now.

was just wondering if there was plans to implement the camera lockscreen widget like to swipe to the right from the clock
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ferator:
Hi sdbags, anything wrong with this bootloader?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Does this command erase the locked system file? :o

I did try remount as rw and chmod 775. The old system is still intacted even after a format.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LMMT:
Nope, you're good.
[Asus Transformer TF700] SteveG12543:
Not a big fan of the highlighting effect when holding the mouse cursor over things (icons, buttons, etc), but other than that everything seems perfect so far on RC1! Thank you so much. Using the ET version, it feels so much better than normal.
[Asus Transformer TF700] -BoneZ-:
24 hours later, this ROM is running super fast and smooth with Hund's 3.3.3 kernel, and zero issues so far. :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Daruniafx:
I've been testing these commands, but for some reason half of the time ends up corrupting my data partition, I'm with _that about it is safer to do it by adb shell.

With the 5.0 RC1, I had reboots that leave me a bootloop on the logo, and I managed to pass only formatted partitions, and reinstalling the room.

In my case the kernel RC1 Hunds and gives me reboots, and crashes,

With 5.0 B2 + Hunds 3.3.1, solid as a rock.

With 5.0 RC1-ET + _that v4 kernel and everything ok and solid as a rock too.

With 5.0 RC1-ET + Hunds 3.3.2 / 4, bootloop - corrupted data partition.

I think the restarts maybe normal, but I think blocking is to disable the journaling.

Same here....
[Asus Transformer TF700] terrbear1:
That was the same setup that was crashing me and giving me bootloops. I went back to B3 and hunds and am not having anymore issues. Had to full wipe and format to get rid of the bootloop though. I may go back and try RC1 with _that v4 kernel.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Daruniafx:
Indeed, you not only need wipe, but completely format all partitions, if you don`t do that you can not allows out of bootloop, even restoring a nandroid backup.

Personally _that kernel is the most reliable of all, with excellent performance :fingers-crossed:, on the other hand Hunds kernel and its app, allows heavy customization, I have customized each performance mode :D I will update and stay a while in the 5.0 b3 + Hunds 3.2 for now.

Sbdags Thanks for your hard work, and all cool stuff contained in the RC1. :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
For RC2 I have changed hunds kernel so journalling is enabled. We lose about 300 points on quad tests but it appears to help with boot loops and corruption.

Thanks all for testing this and bearing with me. It all helps to shape the ROM.

RC2 will be out in a few hours.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Unsurprisingly, wiping the data partition with dd leaves your system partition intact, as they are separate. There is no need to wipe the system partition because it does not contain any user data - and it is reformatted whenever you install a new ROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I mean this:

dd if =/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

It seems that my system is locked some how. I want to erase every thing on my internal SD. I have try format from TWRP, erase from fastboot, and fs from terminal. None of the above seem to be able to erase my locked system. :( Do you or others have any suggestions that I could try out? :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
What do you mean by locked? Are you in recovery with /system unmounted when doing this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Yes, I will try it again and report back. I can not delete my system so I can have a clean install.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
Everything runs pretty good for a while. But crash problems started up again. When I'm in google play the page seems to want to reload all the time. Flashing and sometimes makes it and at other times drops back to home page and then sometimes locks up.

To frustrating for me at this point and I think I'll wait until the full 700 build. going back to asuss 4.2 and _that.

[Asus Transformer TF700] nomad10002:
Version B6 running very smoooooooothly. Thx again sbdags.P,s. fsync is still disabled. I used root explorer to enable it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cjhmdm:
Dude, read the first post. All the instructions are there. Hint: Look for the line that says " TF700 - OPTIONAL STEP 2 – I have a custom recovery installed" and start from there. It's written in blue so shouldn't be hard to find.

Had you not just skimmed through to the download links, you wouldn't be telling people that you followed the instructions because you'd be on TWRP 2.5.0.0 and would have the proper bootloader, not TWRP 2.4.x.x with the old bootloader.

Call me, or anyone else here a douchebag all you want but you might like to consider the fact that you didn't follow the directions that are very clearly laid out on the very first post of this thread before doing so...

In case you're still stuck after actually reading and following the instructions, then:

1. Download and flash this: CleanRom 3.4.7

2. Reboot to system.

3. Reboot to recovery.

4. Make sure you followed steps 2 and 3.

5. Download the proper file below for your device:.

5a. 10.6.1.14.4 WW Bootloader and TWRP 2.5 DOWNLOAD

5b. 10.6.1.14.4 US Bootloader and TWRP 2.5 DOWNLOAD

6. Flash the above downloaded file.

7. Reboot to System !important!

8. Reboot to Recovery.

9. Download 4.2 or 4.3b6 from the first post and flash.

10. Reboot system and profit.

In other news, how bad is the support for data2sd still? I know there's an experimental version in 3b5 (haven't downloaded 3b6 yet) but is it anywhere in the ballpark of being stable yet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] fiidim:
Damn the ASUS version of the Play store is fugly.

On a positive note, since moving from b4 to b6 the flickering black line problem (that I've had for a long time) is less prevalent. Maybe the Bravia engine helps out in some way?
[Asus Transformer TF700] amaury48:
Has anyone dirty flashed b6 over b4. And if so, any problems. Running straight b4 right now. Should I just do a clean install?

I know I can just nandroid and try it, but its late now and was hoping I could save a couple of minutes if I dirty flashed..... (lazy me!)

[Asus Transformer TF700] harajyuks:
I don't know what is wrong, maybe just app overload? I'm getting constant reboots when I am doing various activities. Started when installing apps from play store, more reboots when restoring app data in TiBu, (xml), reboots when opening apps, weird freezes... I tried reflashing the ROM 3 times but no difference in the reboots. What did I screw up here?

[Asus Transformer TF700] willjohnson:
anybody else tried google movies? I cant get tv shows that i purchased to play on hdmi out. It worked fine on the 3.4.x cromi builds. I get some weird picture of a tv on the screen, with the show inside of it, and then it just loads forever. The videos play fine on the device just not through HDMI out. I really hope this is not something google changed in the newest updates, i will not buy something if i cant watch it how and when i want.

[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Dirty flash should be fine to go from b4 to b6..
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
I am still on 4.3b4. I can not copy or move files from internal storage to external storage using either es explorer or root explorer. The app that I am using to move the file will crash or the screen flashes and then the app will crash or the tab will suddenly reboot once the transfer reaches 17-20%. When I install 4.3b4 it was a clean install (full wipe).

Update: I can move from external sd to internal sd but, not the reverse. The external is a SanDisk 64gb class 10 uhs–1. It is only 5 months old could it have gone bad? Is there a app or some other method for testing it. This has just started with the the 4.3b4 so I do not know if it is the rom or the card or whatever?
[Asus Transformer TF700] TitanUranus:
A couple of drug dealers tried to take some revenge on a neighbour of mine recently. I called the fuzz and while the dealers were round the back of my neighbours house smashing the windows in I popped out with the tablet and took some photo's of their car with the TF700 (didn't have my camera handy). I must say, I felt like I was a tad conspicuous, standing with a 10" tab taking snapshots of some murderous bastards car/licence plate. The cops did turn up in record time thankfully. I have to say, it was a bit stressful though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
LOL seeing someone leaning out their window with a 10 inch tablet no matter what would be strange ;). I dont think it would be the preferred device to spy on someone with.

Regarding the new Play Store, I do not mind it, but it lags when you are scrolling and it is loading images. If would be nice if it continued loading images even if you stopped scrolling to stop the lag of them loading while trying to scroll. IDK if it can be integrated but I am missing my older, lagless play store :(.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Mackis:
I have been running RC1 ET edition sence yesterday and it is rock solid, upgraded Hunds kernel to 3.3.4 so fat32 and ntfs partitions can be mounted. Other than that it is Chromi-X RC1. I have stopped Cache2SD and the tab seems more responsive. Data2SD and Cache2SD seems a little overkill to run them side by side. The scores in quadrant is lower now i only get 6200 but i don't have any lag at all. Tab runs cool even in performance mode.

Best regards

[Asus Transformer TF700] riker2335:
I would consider myself to be a fairly heavy user of the TF700 as I use it like an Ultrabook at work so that I don't have to lug around the work laptop all the time. I would also consider myself to be fairly intolerant of 'lag' on a computer and the TF700 always annoyed the hell out of me and I was considering replacing it after only 2 months of ownership.

The significant performance improvement that this ROM brought to the table held off my want to replace the unit for another month but it eventually came back as it still wasn't enormously improved.

I thought I'd give the Data2SD a go as a last ditch attempt to get the tablet to the performance levels that I was happy with and bought a Sandisk Extreme 32GB microSD card and did the conversion. It's now almost 4 weeks later and I have to say that I reckon the tablet is still a hell of a lot faster (Androbench indicated about a 5x performance improvement with the browser benchmark dropping from 1100ms to about 250ms and most of the others showing similar improvements) and I actually really like the tablet now and have no want to replace it anymore.

Now, I'm certain not everyone has had the same results and not everyone would be as anal about responsiveness as I know I can be, but for me, the Data2SD mod saved the tablet being replaced with an MS Surface RT!

Hopefully my experience helps you to decide if it's going to be of benefit to you at all.

Riker.
