boot loop

This TF101 is stuck on the initial "Eee Pad Asus" splash screen. I'm not sure if this was caused by KK but it's the first time this has happened on this TF101. Prior to that it had been on for over a week without charging. The dock battery was drained completely and the internal was at 23%. I plugged into the dock to charge and powered off the tablet to reduce battery drain.

I'm not sure what to call it other than a boot loop. It just cycles to that power-up screen over & over, never actually starting the image boot. Doing a cold boot into Android (power + vol-down, wait) does the same thing.

The good news is that I can get it into TWRP recovery with the power + vol-down then vol-up buttons. I've tried wiping dalvik, cache, system, re-flash KatKiss image... no go. Also tried from the TWRP terminal "echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0".

Is there a bootblock image that needs to be reflashed?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ricardocardoso:
I did a full wipe before flashing...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jazzruby:
I'm not sure if this pertains in your case but let's at least verify the above 'echo' command was executed and placed 'boot' as the first item.

cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

boot

recovery

...

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ricardocardoso:
Flahed 4.3.1 and all went well ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chefp:
Interesting... that command blanks the output window using Terminal Command in TWRP. There's no visible output from the cat. Could this be a TWRP bug? Without being able to boot, how else can I write to mmcblk0p3?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kingzak34:
Use easy flasher and restart from the begining ;)

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chefp:
Hoping to avoid a complete wipe if at all possible. From what I can tell, something's corrupted with the bootloader partition or mmcblk0p3 (is that the bootloader itself or what tells the tablet which partition to boot?). Would nvflash.exe --bl bootloader.bin be enough to fix the bootloader?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jazzruby:
Well... you have a few options:

First, if you can ADB to the device, then drop into a shell and run the 'echo boot' command from there and verify with the 'cat' command that 'boot' is first.

Second, it would indeed be nice if NVFlash was that easy on our device (tf101) but it's not; we need --for a better lack of term-- a proxy, and that would be 'Wheelie' it was started by 'rayman' and you can read/get started HERE (Linux) and HERE (Windows)

Third, if you can make a full NANDroid backup, then you can always do a Selective/Advanced restore, e.g. /system or /data or both after a 'wipe/rebuild' of your device.

Fourth, backup your 'User' apps with TitaniumBackup and anything on 'Internal memory', e.g. Docs, Pics, etc...(you can use TWRP terminal and copy to external SDcard), in case you choose the third option and it fails.

HTH,

-JR-
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chefp:
Thanks for the tips. It's starting to look like I'll have to go the wheelie route and wipe the tablet. When I do echo boot from an adb shell (while the tablet is in TWRP), mmcblk0p3 reads "boot" at the beginning. However whenever it reboots, it doesn't stick and of course doesn't boot. Sure hoping this isn't a defective flash sector.

Has anyone else's tablet gotten a corrupt bootloader from normal operation? Seems like this would have to be a low-level kernel type of bug to do something like that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jazzruby:
When you say "reads 'boot' at the beginning", you do mean on it's own line, correct?

boot-recovery

NO GOOD (stuck) needs the dd command

boot

recovery

....

GOOD

As a last ditch effort; why not try and flash Roach's recovery HERE it contains a hack that uses a slightly different command (you could also try in terminal)

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3

or

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 count=13

Has anyone managed to connect to a Wireless N only network with this ROM ?

The TF can see mine, but won't connect, doesn't even seem to try, it just jumps back to the list of networks again

Any ideas how to get it to connect ?

Hey guys, I know this is old and outdated, but.....

Sometime between now and a few months ago I suspect my tablet updated an APP and is now useless. It keeps playing the nice Kat Kiss 4 dot doodle that comes up when the OS is powering up. I tried to wipe cache and devik and it just gets stuck at "Starting applications" and does not go any further. I tried installing the same Kat Kiss ROM on top and it does the same thing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jazzruby:
First off, you should really update to a more recent version i.e. KatKiss JB | KatKiss KK etc...

If not, then try (re)installing the ROM but make sure to WIPE SYSTEM FIRST.

HTH,

-JR-
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] polishfly:
I hate wiping the system cause I dont want to lose my settings and layout.

If i do go to a new ROM what do yo recommend? Is KK stable and fast? My TF101 was screaming on the 4.2.2 and i dont want to lose that performance.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jazzruby:
1. Most of your settings are stored on the /data partition and would require a Factory reset/Wipe data to clear("lose"). On /system you may be concerned with root(su) mods e.g. hosts file, startup scripts etc...

2. All of [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] (KatKiss) builds are fast and stable you'll just have to read up on the threads to see what's best for you.

-JR-
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Piehti:
Most stable and working with all features (even multiwindow): KitKass 4.3.1 is what you want. Also - as far as I know - it's faster as 4.2.2.

Most uptodate but ART and Multiwindow not working and no big time advantages to 4.3.1 then KatKiss 4.4.2 would be your pick.

As said before: All of Tims rom are quit stable and as far as I tested also the fastest and most responsive.

You can't go wrong with 4.3.1. You might consider backing up your layouts and settings before. Before and after flashing.

NAND Backups would be my suggestion. Have a look at my tutorials.

Cheers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] polishfly:
If I wipe system, do I lose all of my apps and have to re-install them?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Piehti:
Yes you do - if you do it right. But you could backup them. Just get Titanium Backup.

This might help: Brief backup guide

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jazzruby:
No, wipe system DOES NOT clear your USER apps.

Read my last post just above:

[ 1. Most of your settings are stored....... ]

Line 1 applies to your USER apps also, i.e. apps installed from Play store, sideload, etc...

-JR-
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] polishfly:
Took the plunge and went with 4.3.1 It scored 11200 on AnTuTu compared to my 9960 in 4.2.2 so its already that much faster...I'm not sure if I like the multi-window but it may take a bit of time to get use to. Is there a way I can add rows of icons to the home screen with modifying the launcher with this ROM?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gls9:
No but "Make a full wipe / factory reset" as stated in the first post will do.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] WayneTho:
I find Multi-Window comes in handy when I am using PlayOn to stream video to my Blu-Ray player, and I load my Blu-Ray remote app in the window right beside the PlayOn app. Having both remotes on the screen at once is very convenient.

FOUND THEM/it. I had to go back to tablet ui!

EDIT: Then it was back everywhere! So I HAD disabled it somehow.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] csb5731:
Same for me, but most of them just needed a couple clicks to restore. I did need to reset a couple picture-widgets.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] just lou:
Yeah. Not a huge deal, but I had to redo my settings on most.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Bama29:
Dirty flashed 218 and when the boot process was done, all screens appeared like it was the first start complete with tutorial screen showing where to find apps and how to add them to the screens. Lock screen widget and all widgets plus shortcuts that had been added by the user were gone. All apps were still installed and thankfully had not lost individual configurations. Now to remember what shortcut was on what page....
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Yep:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Bama29:
OK, I am guilty! I made the mistake of getting distracted during the install and did not flash Gapps during the process. I am sure I caused this. Sorry Tim :eek:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] tphacker:
I seem to be getting SOD on 216 & 217. I recently starting using KatKiss. I was on EOS4 v120 before and didn't have this issue. Is there anything that I can do to help debug this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wn1ytw:
I've been trying to get the gps going... I normally have no problem getting 5-11 birds after running the katapp and rebooting, fast too.

Today I am lucky to get 1.

I'm also seeing some screen flickering lately - just lightly, hard to be sure.

Something I am sure of is bluetooth gets turned on and I do not tell it on.

This may be when I turn wifi on, hard to figure what triggers it, I have turned it OFF 4/5 times today without turning it on.

I will go back to trying to narrow this.

EDIT After 3 cold boots I cannot duplicate the bluetooth on thing.. dunno, perplexed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] csb5731:
I've had rare but unobtrusive screen flickering on all EOS4 roms, used to it now so I rarely note it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xdadevelopers1222:
I've been enjoying the Team EOS 4 121 ROM and have now moved on to KatKiss 218. This is a great ROM, and I like it a lot!

However, I see a display refresh / flashing issue with Google Maps (version 7.0.1).

Here are the steps to reproduce:

Ensure GPS is turned OFF.

Launch Google Maps.

Select the GPS icon at the lower-right of the screen.

Select 'Enable' in the 'Improve your location' box that appears.

Put a check mark in the Settings > Personal > Location Access > Location Sources > GPS Satellites box.

Select back to return to Google Maps.

Result:

The display begins to flash between a mostly-blank white screen and a mostly-blank black screen.​

Workaround:

Back out of Google Maps and launch it again.​

Additional Notes:

This issue will also happen if Google Maps is running, the display times out, and then the power button is pressed to turn the display back on.

This issue also happened with the Team EOS 4 121 ROM using KatKernel 104.

Info Requested According To http://public.timduru.org/Android/tf101/KatKiss/#report:

ROM / Version: KatKiss 4.2.2 218

Kernel: 2.6.39.4-kat104-g5f0f50a timduru@androtim #24

Flash Steps: Followed Exactly As Specified

Restore: Applications = No / Settings = No

Thanks for a very slick ROM! :cool:

I was on Domination ROM for a short while with GMaps 7.0.1 also had the same issues.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
Looks like that:

Full Ethernet support/icons/settings panel is coming in 219, mgeniusm is using a pre-version of it. :)

Most likely linked to their new map update.

Ho ho... With 218, dock sdcard seems not to mount automatically anymore...

Sent from my TF101 with KatKiss !!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
It does, unless it has been ejected / unmounted dirty.

In that case you just need to go to Settings=>Storage and unmount/remount it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Gzaw:
All right, thank you... that's what happened... did it worked the same in previous versions ? I thought it was mounted properly even when dirty inserted...

[MENTION=4234585]Tim[/MENTION], seems the dock battery icon is a little flakey with #218 - it occasionally doesn't reappear when I open the tablet up needing a undock/dock to recover it. I normally expect a small delay of a few seconds for it to appear, but that's not often the case sometimes.

Is this possibly related to my previous report that the dock keyboard doesn't work for PIN input on the lock screen?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JimTDI:
[MENTION=320367]Taomyn[/MENTION]...

What lock screen widget are you using? If you add the stock one from Jelly Bean (the one where the hour is bold), and remove all others - PIN entry from the dock works flawlessly! Let me know if you need help in doing so, and whether this works for you.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Taomyn:
Thanks very much - that's exactly what I needed to do. Now it works although to add/remove widgets I still have to use the screen to enter the PIN but I can live with that for the rare times I need to do it.

Really loving this new family of ROMs - great job Tim :good:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Gzaw:
Just had my fourth reboot since this morning with 218... Don't know what cause this... Had one with 217 already, but none with 215...

Re-flashed properly, with wipe/dalvik/system, and had another reboot...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] tldspectre:
I can confirm that the above worked for me. But I like using DashClock on my lock screen, so I've decided to live without being able to key in my pin from the dock. Thanks for the tip! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wn1ytw:
app drawer and menu bars

again. I tapped app drawer on home screen. May have double tapped - shaky hands.. App drawer goes away, so does menu bars.

I thought app drawer was fixed in place?

I eventually found app drawer icon on a different screen. Menu bars are gone.

I have rebooted, reflashed dirty… menu is gone, I can reflash clean and restore apps from backups but there must be a better solution…

What setting hides menu??? Any way to keep this from happening again? I can't fix the shakes - MS causes them. :rolleyes:

EDIT I can get to the menu in settings pane, but it's gone in my home screen or either side screens.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sidneyk:
I, too, have experienced a couple of SODs on Katkiss 218. I followed normal process of wiping cache, dalvik, system, flash ROM, flash gapps, wipe caches again and reboot. It has happened while tab in deep sleep. It has been so long since I've had any SODs I can't remember the last time before now. I kept my processor settings the same as they've been forever - 216-1200MHz, interactive, row, default voltages. I haven't captured any logs yet as it was quite unexpected.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] just lou:
Same here. I've gotten 2 SOD'S when trying to shut down. Running 312-1200, everything else default.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] tphacker:
Same here. I keep getting SOD's I've tried v216, 217 and now 218. Same thing. Running the CPU at 312, 1200. Everything else at default.

Only when tab in deep sleep. I did notice that it didn't give me a SOD while it was plugged in; but it does it while docked to the keyboard.

I've flashed each ROM release by wiping cache, wipe divork cache, format system, flash rom, flash gapps, wipe cache, wipe divork cache, reboot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timduru:
I don't have issues here.

Only change in 218 that I see that could be linked to that is the switch to Trebuchet I guess.

It could be that it still detects part of the the old launcher conf or vice versa.

Not sure, but maybe a full wipe could be good in that case and making sure you don't restore launcher /widget / lock screen settings.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] :
Did a full wipe here and don,t have any issues either. Using Nova instead of Trebuchet.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] just lou:
I don't think it's Trebuchet. I had an SOD or 2 running the earlier versions too.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mashed_ash:
I was getting SODs on 216 and 217. I normally flash by wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system, install rom, install gapps and then wipe cache and dalvik.

When i came to flash 218, I decided to do a factory reset as well. So far it seems to be working. I haven't had a SOD yet (uptime of 22hours out which 18 hours in deep sleep).

- Update to KatKernel 105 (TF101G boot issue)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] tphacker:
Thanks for all the great work....

I'll try a full wipe tonight and update... Hopefully no more SOD's
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] GrouchyPunisher:
No SOD's for me on any of the KatKiss builds so far :)

And FWIW, I always follow the same flashing procedure that mashed outlined above (wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system, install rom, install gapps and then wipe cache and dalvik.)

Performance-wise, my settings are 312 Min / 1400 Max with row scheduler.

Thanks Tim!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wildcheese:
I came from the EOS rom trying this one now. With the stable version (215) I dont get a working wifi. It sees sometimes a network (but the neighbors one) but mostly it doesnt see any network. I have tried the latest release but same problem. Any ideas? Wifi is kinda crucial ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] just lou:
I haven't had any Wifi issues with any of the KK releases.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JimTDI:
Have you tried a tool like Wifi Analyzer to see if you can see your wifi, being you can sometimes see your neighbors? I used this tool to set my wireless access point to channel 10 since many of my neighbors were on the same channel as what I was using. Maybe this tool, and a few changes to your router would help. Both EOS4 and now KatKiss have been rock solid on wifi for me. Good luck - I hope you can get it sorted out, as you pointed out having wifi is kind of critical.

You may also want to check out/change settings in Control Center -> System -> Change Wifi Regulatory Domain.
