Issue with Downgrade Hairybean 4.1.1 zip

I was going to try something new with the old Prime and decided to try tonight. However, when I try I get the following:

Updating partition details...

Installing 'sdcard/Downgrade Hairybean 4.1.1 Bootloader & Recovery.zip'...

Checking for MD5 file...

Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.

Verifying zip signature...

E:\Zip Signature verification failed: 1

Error flashing zip 'sdcard/Downgrade Hairybean 4.1.1 Bootloader & Recovery.zip'...

Updating partition details...​

I put the file on both the External SD Card as well as the internal \sdcard\ and get the exact same message. I went back and downloaded WinMD5 and the checksum (on the file on my PC before copying it to the Prime) comes back with the correct value.

Can someone tell me what I might be missing?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
Turn off signature verification then. These files are not signed.

Has anyone managed to get Virgin Tv Anywhere working kn this ROM, it says my TF201 isnt a supported device in play store however it is on the supported list. Virgin do say though they dont support rooted devices

I'm running Androwook 2.31 on my TFP. I've hooked up a USB speaker set from Altec Lansing (Orbit iML 247). Sounds comes out fine of the speakers but I'm not able to control the volume with either hardware (keyboard button or rocker switch on side of tablet) or system volume controls. Anyone have any ideas on getting a volume control to work for this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] iog11:
SOLVED

I reply myself.

After many reinstalls with different options and different versions (also tried 2.2) I solved it reflashing the same bootloader zip again. Weird.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] riven67:
Just came back to this rom about 2 weeks ago and have been using it since but i have noticed a troublesome issue and wanted to see if anyone else has seen the same thing.

The tablet seems to shut it self off or not be able to wake from sleep at times, i noticed this and at first it was due to battery drain so i started leaving it plugged in when not in use. Even with a full battery and plugged in it sometimes will not wake when the power button is pushed and i have to hold it to force a reboot so i am not sure if it was asleep or completely shut off. Anyone else have this issue?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GTIM2L8:
Did you do a restore or a completely new install?

Did you use the recommended boot loader and recovery?

I tried a few other ROM's but came back to this one.

I had a similar problem when I changed from the recommended Hund's kernel to another one.

Depending on how you installed the ROM I just went back through the setup, wiped dalvik and cache and installed the recommended kernel.

All is well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
Haha, yes. Even as an inveterate tech-tinkerer, I have never been remotely tempted to move away from this ROM or any of its recommended components :D. It seriously shocks me that, even when they are warned of the nature of this device, so many people still plough on trying to re-invent the wheel - and it really doesn't take long before those wheels start rolling off big-time :rolleyes:.

There are many Android devices out there now that are great fun to flash away with (almost) complete safety. Sadly the TF201 is not one of them :( .
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newtothegame:
Yep, that did the trick. Thanks!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] riven67:


Complete new install. Yes I used the upgrade and recovery zip recommended. Used the default Hounds kernel. Pretty vanilla install following the op .
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diodato:
I don't have a fresh install, and yes, just recently have started to experience exactly the same behaviour. No I did not install any new apps, just updates. So you are not alone. Perhaps it's a Google services thing that got a few updates recently.

In addition to the "impossible to wake-up from sleep" I have also noticed that even having the WiFi set to always off when asleep I started getting WiFi activity at regular and quite frequent intervals during sleep. I repeat, I did not install any new applications recently nor have made any changes in the settings.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GTIM2L8:
I had a problem pop up in my tablet and it turned out to be Google play services. My antivirus caught it. It then deleted the current app and reinstalled the new version.

Installed just fine, but keeps rebooting after 1 min

Hi Guys,

I just installed androwook 2.31 on my prime and everything went just fine, no errors and the tablet boots successfully into android. But after a minute or so, it freezes and reboots... again and again... Any ideas on how to solve this?

Started from lastest stock rom 4.1.1

Steps staken:

- Unlocked and NVflash

- flashed custom recovery: TRWP 2.6.3.0

- Folowed instruction video from wwjoshdew:

* flashed: Upgrade Hairybean 2.31 (4.2.1) Bootloader & TWRP (2.5).zip (This went

very

fast, blue bar only visible for a second)

* flashed: Harybean 2.31 with nothing special (recommended settings)

All successful, no errors returned.

Thanks,

Hawkeye

PS: is there way to check which bootloader you are on atm (via TRWP?)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
You need to reboot between flashing the TWRP and bootloader package and rom. Otherwise the rom kernel blob overwrites the other one and you are still on the old boot loader which is why it reboots.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The_hawkeye:
I did redo the whole process several times, but no luck:

* flashed: Upgrade Hairybean 2.31 (4.2.1) Bootloader & TWRP (2.5).zip (This went very fast, blue bar only visible for a second)

* reboot into recovery

* full wipe

* flashed: Harybean 2.31 with nothing special (recommended settings)

I also tried to using the recommended kernel with the voltage fix and the stock kernel in multiple attempts

I want to check on which bootloader i'm on now (because the upgrade.zip really only takes a second and in the video it's several minutes) any idea on how to do that?

Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
Boot with power + volume down. Your bootloader is in the top left.

I think you need to downgrade from 2.6.3.0 to 2.5 manually. 2.6.3.0 doesn't like older flash files.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Xerxes-3.0:
Did it just now and it worked.

Stock (after NVFlash Recovery procedure) -> TWRP 2.6.3.0 from Voyager2k -> HairyBean installation procedure.

Any other ROM leads to a boot failure and even f... does havoc to the the Recovery, so I tried this. It works. :) No idea what's wrong, though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The_hawkeye:
I did that and worked fine. Now I just noticed that when I load "Upgrade Hairybean 2.31 (4.2.1) Bootloader & TWRP (2.5).zip" via TWRP2.5 and it reboots to flash it, the message: "signature mismatch" is displayed in the top left corner and the push is cancelled. What does this mean and how can I solve it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
It means it is not meant for your tablet. What is your sku and this is a prime right? What bootloader version?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The_hawkeye:
Yeah, It's a TF201 (EU/Belgian version) bootloader: Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "WW_epad-10.4.2.15-20120917" A03
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Xerxes-3.0:
I started out with 10.4.2.18 from the ASUS homepage (Germany) and it worked.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The_hawkeye:
What is your bootloader now?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Xerxes-3.0:
Uh..the one that's installed with the HairyBean-Upgrade, so 4.2.

WW_epad-10.6.1.27.1-20130711 A03
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The_hawkeye:
Conclusions of today:

1. I can write TWRP via fastboot without a problem. Tried 2.5; 2.6.3; 2.2.1 all booted fine

2. But it seems impossible to update my bootloader from 10.4.2.15 to the androwook 4.2.1 (10.6.2) version. Unpacking the zip-file in TWRP works, but after the reboot noting is pushed ==> The blue bar is less then a second visible...

Anyone any idea how to procede from now?

Should i be able to install a custom 4.1.1 rom?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Xerxes-3.0:
Well yes, you should. But I would not bet money on it.

Maybe try WW_epad-user-10.4.2.18 from ASUS homepage first, then you would be on the same state as me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cbasse:
Has anyone tried encrypting their tablet on this ROM? I need to encrypt my tablet for work, and I'm worried that things won't end up well on a rooted device. I'd very much appreciate if anyone has any experience on this (or any other) ROM with the encryption feature. Thanks.

No , and I'm using Comodo Internet Security, which is pretty paranoid....

This post has aged a bit but..what is the update polica of AndroWook?

Just curious, I really like the "stockyness" of the ROM and think it's more smooth than stock 4.1.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] point_pt:
It's based on Asus official releases for TF300 tablet...

At this time, i guess this will be the last version of AndroWook for our Prime, unless Asus keeps suporting TF300 and update it to Android 4.3 or 4.4, wich is very unlikely to happen :(

do i need to downgrade if i want to flash CROMi-X 5.4? or do i just full wipe?

I am having same problem - did you find a solution? I uninstalled google play services updates then updated the factory version of the app after reading gtim2l8's post. Just wondering if this seems to be the culprit in all cases or if there are other things to look for or try if this doesn't work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tyvar1:
Haha yeah I know! :) so if I want to go to cromi x(4.2.1 rom) and also install TWRP 3.6 what do I do?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diodato:
No solution. Just as you did, I reinstalled Google services. For the moment didn't experience any more "sleep of death".

Regarding the constant WiFi usage, I completely disabled location services (GPS and WiFi based) which seems to have cured the problem. But now after the last Amazon store app update (a few days ago) I have the Amazon app hogging almost 100% of usage...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
Just use the androwook version. It is compatible with CROMi-X
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tyvar1:
aah Okey! Well then i am ready to flash! :) thank you!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] casey225:
Disabling wifi, gps and BT has had no effect for me. Reinstall of Google Play hasn't helped today. If I check battery statistics, Amazon appstore is also by far and away, hogging most of the battery on mine, too. I have uninstalled and reinstalled from the amazon link and the google play store, neither has helped- that's when I came here searching for more answers. Even though I have mine set for wifi to turn off when not in use, it doesn't seem to be working or something is preventing it from going to sleep. I usually keep it docked and sometimes when I open it, I immediately see homescreen and connected to wifi instead of the lockscreen with wifi disconnected, as if it has been asleep. I have manually disabled wifi before putting it down for several hours, sometimes helps and sometimes I come back and find major drain. I really like this rom, launcher freezes up more frequently than I would like, but, much prefer it to stock. However, this much battery drain is becoming a real pain - anyone else have any suggestions?

Just installed an app called gsam and discovered android system performed 932 wakelocks in the last 18 hrs. Facebook and Viber also had about 100 each and permissions for both can prevent tablet from sleeping. Maybe this is worth looking into... Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Finally I managed to install TWRP and install HairyBean. Stupid me.. I was under the impression that I have bootloader unlocked and frustrated with trying to flash recovery (2 days). One of the posts on TWRP finally gave me a hint and I used the Asus unlock bootloader v6. The ROM installation was simple and straighforward. It is completely different world on Prime now with this ROM. Everything is smooth and clean. No lags (except while installing apps from Market). I am so happy to have flashed this ROM and thanked developer. It is rebirth of Prime and I again started using on daily basis :good:.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kingdazy:
I actually came here to request some pointers on how to get mine up to dater from AW 1.51, but discovered that the OP is actually up to date and perfectly clear on this procedure.

Thanks [MENTION=3909556]flumpster[/MENTION] and community! I'm glad to see this awesome little device has not been abandoned here! (As it would appear that ASUS has decided to pretend this never happened, shame.)

Anything else I should be aware of before I begin? Any install options to avoid?

@ everybody who could help

I know I made a mistake ... I installed with Terminal Emulator a recovery from CM 11.0 thought it would be compatible but it isn't by the way what ever recovery I installed from TWRP or recovery.imp.sos isn't compatible. I think the easiest way out is to install the recovery provided with this rom with Terminal Emulator. (please correct me if I'm wrong)

Could somebody please provide me the recovery coming with this rom?

PS.: downloaded already the "bootloader & twrp" zip from the op but don't know how to extract / create a recovery.img or blob ... is the blob file in the zip enough to install with the Terminal Emulator???

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GTIM2L8:
From whatever recovery you are running just install the BL & recovery.zip as you would the ROM.

You should have read the op as it is quite clear as to the installation process.

Stay away from term emu as you don't need it to install the recovery and ROM.

Please read the instructions before you do anything.

Any news for the sleep of death? Mine does it also, but so far I have not found any patterns.

The only app that actually could do something to the system is Llama.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ojessie:
Thanks for trying to help but this doesn't help. As mentioned all the recoveries installed with EMU are not compatible. Which means that the TWRP /CWM cannot read files. As a consequence I cannot install zip files with TWRP I have to install a recovery which is compatible with this rom in order to access zip files with TWRP and follow the instructions.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GTIM2L8:
Do you have access to a computer with adb? If so you can extract the twrp.img and flash it via fastboot or EMU. Also you can flash the stock ROM downloaded from Asus's website. What do you get when you boot holding down the volume and power keys?? A factory reset would also work. Can you get back to stock? The recovery in the op is the only one that works with this ROM.

I tried a dirty reflash of the rom 2 nights ago because I forgot to install the email with exchange apk. I put it down and came back 3 hours later and the status bar was still at 0% so I rebooted. Strangely, I haven't had a sleep of death or major battery drain episode since, even with wifi left on. Granted it's only been 2 days, but, it has happened daily until this point. Maybe consider reflashing the rom?

Could be coincidence but my tablet has had trouble flashing updates for quite awhile. I haven't been able to install the asus ota updates for a very long time. Always had to wait for a workaround. Was never able to install the final update until I unlocked and did a FDR but that was done in preparation of installing this rom. First attempt failed and just wiped everything, then it worked the second time. Any of you happen to have the same problems? Seems like my device just doesn't like to be updated.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GTIM2L8:
Have you tried flumpster's kernel installer?

It will actually clean up leftover bits of other kernel's.

I had a problem and flashed the stock kernel then flashed the recommended hunds kernel and problem solved.

Most people just flash and flash and flash without cleaning up their mess.

When coming from another ROM I always wipe everything 3 times and I mean everything. Start with a clean slate and you most likely won't have any problems.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] casey225:
I used it the first time I flashed the rom but not since. Actually my battery drain and sleep of death came back as well as random reboots. I reflashed and used the Hunds kernel with voltage fix addon but still getting battery drain, sleep of death and random reboots. If I understand you correctly, I should use the kernel installer first and then flash the rom again with the same kernel option. I only performed a single I wipe. I assume from your protocol that a wipe may not be as thorough as it sounds and there still could be some junk left behind requiring multiple wipes to be sure? I have also seen some recommend rewiping cache and dalvik immediately after flashing a rom while others say it doeesn't matter. It's easy enough to do, any opinion on this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
It makes no difference rewiping cache if the ROM installer does it for you.

You should flash ROM, reboot, flash kernel from installer, reboot. Doing it the other way around makes no sense as the ROM installer will overwrite the kernel again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] casey225:
I reflashed kernel using kernel installer last night - we'll see what happens when I get home tonight.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] boakesm:
Hope someone here can help - I am a bit of a newb.

I was running androwook and stupidly I used adb to install another version of twrp with out running the Androwook downgrade zip 1st. Stupid I know - read more I know.

I am back in new but incompatable twrp recovery and of course its broke and cannot see SD card etc.

Is there something I can do to recover - I have stopped and have not re-booted system, etc.

For instance can I sideload using adb Androwook twrp again - if yes where can I fet yhe .img file?

Or am I screwed!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GTIM2L8:
Just extract the twrp recovery .img file from the upgrade.zip file and use adb or fastboot.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] casey225:
Update: After reflashing kernel haven't had any random reboots, but, still major battery drain. My device doesn't seem to be going to sleep or staying asleep. When I come back after several hours and open it, I see home screen with an active wifi connection instead of lockscreen with wifi disconnected. I've checked all the power saver settings and can't figure out why this is happening. Another caveat is that even if I turn off wifi before an extended leave, there is still significant battery drain.

Install wake lock detector. It'll be an app misbehaving.

So I've unlocked and rooted my Prime. The lag on it is driving me nuts! Will this ROM/kernel/bootloader help me out with the crazy lag I'm getting while on stock?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GTIM2L8:
Yes.

Just make sure you read all the instructions (Three times) before doing anything and make sure you make a backup before starting.

You can also find how to extract the blob files for a Nvflash in this thread if you have some computer and adb experience..

One thing that continues to really piss me off about my Transformer.

Every time I wake it up and it connects to the wi-fi it spends the next 10 minutes downloading and updating apps from the frigging Playstore.

It totally takes over and it is almost impossible to do anything else until it finishes.

The only way I have discovered to prevent this is by turning off updates.

But once it identifies an update it won't give up until it is done - you can reboot but back it comes.

It is particularly annoying when I am trying to work and using my phone as a wi-fi hotspot.

Does this happen to everyone else?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GTIM2L8:
You must have a lot of apps on it..

How many do you have?

I generally leave mine connected to my WiFi all the time and rarely will it take 10 minutes to update.

Maybe 2or3 but it never interferes with the function. Google play services gave me a fit for awhile. Check and make sure something else isn't running in the background. I don't download a ton of apps just to have them and usually delete the ones I haven't used in a while.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Thomasba:
I get the same problem and it is annoying. I've also got a lot of apps as I don't see the point in not having all the apps on the tablet that you may want. It's noce to have apps that are up to date but some release new updates almost daily.

The only solution I can see is to un-check "update app automatically" and then go in to the playstore and tell it do it when you've finished your "work" ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jcicora:
I use CM11 on my Nexus 4, and have used CM since like CM7. Can someone tell me why I would use this ROM over something like CM or PA?

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GTIM2L8:
It's stable and it works.

This thread has been around for a while and people with TP continue to use it.

If you want a ROM that you can flash, setup and forget about it this is it.

I installed this ROM as soon as I got my TP and it worked.

I tried other Roms and was soon disappointed,

It's on mine now and I am never going to try another one because this one is stable and I can depend on it.

If you set it up right it will run forever and it's a lot better than stock.
