With or without dock? I have minimal drain off the dock but decent drain while docked.

Without dock
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ratman6161:
Possibly non-rom issue? Don't know...

Starting after I upgraded to HB 2.31 I started having an issue where the tablet itself does not seem to want to charge. FYI this is using the version of Hund's kernel that came with 2.3.1. I wiped and clean installed 2.3 but dirty flashed 2.3.1 over 2.3 (per flumpster's recommendations on this subject)

Typically when done for the day I put it in the dock if it isn't already, and plug the charger into the dock. Lately I've been coming back and finding that the battery level has not gone down, but it has not come up either and the little lightning bolt on the dual battery widget (that indicates charging) is not showing.

What I've tried:

1. I was using a third party charger. This charger has always worked fine before, but just to be sure, I started using the stock Asus charger instead. Issue did not go away.

2. Wondering if the dock could be the problem I looked at the battery widget while in the dock but with the charger not plugged in. The dock battery was at 99% and the tablet was at 57% so the tablet should have been charging from the dock in this scenario. But no lightning bolt. Everything with the dock seems to work otherwise (i.e. I can see the dock's 64GB SD card and I can type on the keyboard fine - have not tried the USB port - will try that next) so the dock seems fine other than the charging issue. So...

3. Tried the Asus charger directly on the tablet. Seemed to be charging as I could see the lightning bolt so I left it on my desk and worked on my PC for a while. Along the way the screen blanked. When I came back later I hit the power button to bring the screen back up and the lightning bolt was gone but somewhere along the way the charge level had increased to over 90%. If I unplug the cable and plug it back in, it starts charging again.

4. Back in the dock again, I can duplicate the result in step 3.

So....sometimes its charging and sometimes not. It seems to do this both in and out of the dock.

Possibilities I'm considering:

1. It kind of looks like when the tablet goes to sleep, it stops charging?

2. Some other software/ROM/Kernel issue?

3. It really is charging but the widget is just not accurate?

4. Hardware problem with the connector on the tablet?

I really, really don't want it to be possibility #4. My prime is now doing everything I ask of it and I love it other than this charging issue. But if its hardware, that means the tablet is not far from the garbage can...which would be really really disappointing.

Any suggestions for things I have not tried already?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Thomasba:
So I've been running 2.31 for a few weeks now and I'm well pleased with the results. Today I decided to try the data2sd option and this is what I did: -

As per other posts I've formatted a microsd card as fat32 (partition 1) and ext4 (partion 2) both primary. the card is a Sandisk 32gb class 4 (a 64gb class 10 arrives tomorrow)

I put the Hairybean 2.31 Kernel Installer - VER 1.zip on the fat32 partition and rebooted to recovery.

I installed the Hairybean 2.31 Kernel Installer - VER 1 and restarted as per the on screen instructions.

When it came back on it seemed somewhat sluggish compared to before and when I used File manager HD it showed there was a internal sd folder on the fat32 partition, which is empty.

when I looked on the ext4 partition there is a "app" folder which has a apk called "HundsbuahsKernelTweaks"

I'm not quite sure what I was expecting to be honest but it wasn't that :confused:

question is what am I doing wrong coz I know it's something :silly: Or......is it doing exactly what it should be doing and I'm just being a knob?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Class 4 is no good. That is slower than the inbuilt nand.

You will know if it is working because you will have 2 folders on the root. InternalSD and InternalData.

Ignore the InternalSD folder on the fat partition as that would get created if you set it up right or not.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sauliiin:
After some time using this rom I came back just to say THANK YOU! I haven't faced any lag or bug at all! Browser and ram consume are amazing!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
Then our issues aren't likely related. Yours may be due to a rogue app or bad setting. What apps do you have always running or syncing?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Thomasba:
Ok thanks, I'll try again later when the class 10 turns up.

I think I was expecting to have to go through the "new installation" process on restart rather than all the apps being where they were before. Is that not the case then?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joshkun:
If I were you I'll start a clean install with the new card to get the best result. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Thomasba:
Slightly annoying :( should I not have seen the "new installation" routine then just flashing the data2sd kernel?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joshkun:
You can give it a try if it's not good enough so try the hard way :silly:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Thomasba:
I probably will give it a try but the question still stands...should I not have seen the "new installation" routine then just flashing the data2sd kernel?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joshkun:
I do not know what do you mean. Maybe flumpster will bee kinde to replay :o
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
I'm staying out of it. I don't support data2sd and i can't understand what he is asking anyway :silly:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Thomasba:
I appreciate you don't support data2sd but seriously is the question that difficult to understand?

My prime is currently running 2.31 and everything is installed and as I want it

If I now flash the data2sd kernel then when the device restarts will all the apps still be on the device and available or will I have to go through the new install procedure?

Sorry if my original question was hard to understand
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Double post.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
That makes more sense now.

The problem you have is that most of your apps at the moment are installed on the internal data partition. If you just install the data2sd kernel without reflashing the rom then all them apps are going to be left in the old data partition and wont be in the new data2sd partition so they will not be seen by android.

When you install the rom and select a data2sd kernel then it automatically installs them apps to the correct data partition.

So yes, you can just install the kernel but all your apps in data will be missing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Thomasba:
That's what I thought would be the case, and that my screen layout would be empty, but after flashing the kernel all of my apps were all still on the screen where they were before I flashed the kernel.

If I have to reinstall everything then so be it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
If they were all still on the screen you didn't set up the card correctly and it fell back to using the normal data partition.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Thomasba:
In my own round about way that's what i was getting at in the first place! :)

could it be that the class 4 card caused this to happen? as I said I set partition 1 to be fat32 and partition 2 to be ext4. I'm going to try again when the class 10 turns up today but I want to make sure I'm doing it right.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hawke84:
Hi, im on hairy bean 2.2 and want to go to 2.31 - I just want to be sure that ive understood right that basically i just need the full hairybean package from the Op and thats all?

thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
I have no idea what you did mate. Make sure both partitions are set to primary and a lot of people say that minitool does not work for them correctly and to use gparted.

That's all I can tell you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Get the bootloader upgrade and flash that first then the full rom.

Instructions are all in OP.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hawke84:
thank you, sorry i miss-read OP i thought the upgrade was a ROM upgrade patch for people on 2.30 etc.

thanks again! :good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Just a quick update.

There is nothing really going on at the moment. I don't really see a point in updating the rom where it is the smoothest it has ever been for me and the testers.

I could update a few apps etc but not much point when I think that 4.3 should be released soon from Asus for either the tf300 or tf700.

Once we get a new base I will get to work on Hairybean 3.0 and no doubt 3.01 will follow about 2 weeks after lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bklm1234:
Hi,

You mentioned you got a newer kernel that's even more power efficient. Did you release it, i.e. after HB officially went 2.31, did you release a newer kernel? I don't think I missed anything.

All in all, you deserve to take a break, buddy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
The version I tested seemed to have a dock drain so I went back to using the one that is included in 2.31.

That kernel seems to be working fine for all of us and if anyone is getting any problems with it then I would suggest using the stock kernel and seeing if the problem still persists.

We will need a completely new kernel once 4.3 is released so what we have for now I think is good enough.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theryanfoley:
I looked through the thread but could not find any info on this....I came from Androwook 1.51 and i just installed 2.3.1 seemingly with no issues. However I have a Asus update notification that states there is a pad firmware update available. Should i install this or will this be a mistake?

I thought we would be off the firmware gravy train with a JB port rom....confused.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
They are firmware updates that are not part of the OS but included in the rom. They upgrade hardware like the dock etc.

They are fine to install.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] moonunitenar:
Hey guys, I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work and dedication to this device. With this rom, my tablet was always blazing fast and a pleasure to use, and there were always people in the thread willing to help if I ran into problems. I recently bricked my prime due to a careless mistake on my part while trying out some new software, and it looks like it's a hard brick (I can't even get into recovery). I'm not really considering sending it into asus to get the mobo replaced, so I guess I'll just sell it for parts. I doubt I'll be buying another one and coming back to this thread, so I just wanted to say one last thanks for the awesome support. You guys rock!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
When you say you cannot get to recovery can you still get to fastboot or even the OS?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vadimo:
i cant wait to move from 1.51 to Hairybean 3.01 :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mackrox:
I tried reverting back to 2.2, but no luck. I tried reverting the boot loader, but no matter what I do, I get the same results. Anyone have a suggestion as to why my TF201 is having so many issues?

My only next idea is to download from a second mirror, and perhaps my installation was corrupt.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
To be honest 2.2 should be worse in every way from 2.31. Tell me what your problems are and maybe I can help.

To check if your downloads are correct get the md5 checker from Here and see if they are the same as posted in OP.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mackrox:
Thanks for your response. I checked the md5 and it does match. I am attempting to install 2.31, with the 4.21 Bootloader and 2.5 TWRP. Basically, what happens is after the installation (installer works without issue), it reboots without issue. It's completely random from this point on. I have seen it:

- Display ASUS logo non-stop

- Display ASUS logo, vibrate, reboot, display logo again and then stuck

- Display ASUS logo, show Androwook animated boot screen, after about 30 minutes, it goes blank

I have tried:

- Reinstalled ROM several times

- Tried another ROM (worked fine)

- Reverting bootloader

- Reinstalling everything

- 100% complete wipe

- Redownloaded installation

- Installed old version (which worked previously, not now)

- Followed the video step-by-step, same exact procedure happens on my tablet as the video - until it goes to reboot

I've ran out of ideas :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Just to be sure on where we are.

Install the 2.3.1 bootloader upgrade from whatever TWRP you are on now, hit restart in TWRP and now leave it alone for a few mins until the blue bar fills. You will either boot into TWRP at this point or Android.

If you boot into OS then shut down the Prime and then hold volume down and power button until the bootloader appears and then press volume up on RCK.

Once into TWRP then just go to wipe and then advanced and wipe data should be enough for you.

Test with stock kernel.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mackrox:
Goes right into Androwook loading screen, then goes to a black screen. Bootloader issue?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Does this happen if you keep holding volume down and power button for about 10 seconds and let it restart and then keep holding them ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mackrox:
Sorry, I worded that wrong. I did what you said, wiping data does nothing. It goes back to the same thing; "ASUS" logo. Reboot a few times it shows the animated loading screen, and then the screen goes black
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
I just need to know if you can still access the bootloader menu..

If that works then you can tell me the long number at the top of the screen which is the bootloader version and we can go from there.

You are doing something wrong.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mackrox:
At the top I see:

Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "ww_epad-10.6.1.27.1-20130771" A03

Is that what you were looking for?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theryanfoley:
I have only spent a few hours on hairy bean 2.31. But all seems to be running smooth with zero issues.

Thinking back I can't believe what a turd asus put out with the tf201 considering the killer specs at the time. I was so disappointed in the tablet. ... and then came hairy bean 1.5. Now I get to rock 2.31. You saved the tf201 from an almost certain early grave.

Great job, this tablet now holds its own. ..well not compared to my Galaxy S4 MDK ;) ... But it is 1000% better than stock. Thanks again!

Jellybean nvflash

Hello Hairybeaners, I have just noticed that AndroidRoot.Mobi Team have released NVFlash for Jellybean. Great work by them. I would love to get this done on my prime, so the question is, can I just follow the procedure on their website? or do I need to downgrade first?

If someone has already done this, could they post a little cheat sheet for me to follow?

Thanks all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] heintosz:
Hi Flumpster and Prime lovers!

I just wanted to thank you once again for your great work. After using HB2.2 for quite some time and feeling that it is a bit laggy at times (even with LagFix) i decided to try data2sd. Here's my quick review.

I have a 32GB Transcend miscroSD class 10. I was searching on the internet and on xda how to format my sd card propperly and i found the gparted method (as mentioned in this thread before, you can find it here). But that seemed pretty complex. Why would i need to burn a dvd and boot into that and format from there?? So i searched some more and found the method with MiniTool (on XDA Wiki here).

I did all the steps of that guide and it worked without problem. I formatted half of the 32GB as FAT32 and the other half as ext4. After the formatting was done i copied all files to the sdcard (the FAT32 part obviously) and then i went into TWRP. TWRP took a little longer to boot/load but i guess thats because it had to identify and mount the sdcard which it didn't have to do before. I flashed bootloader upgrade and then HB2.31 with Hunds data2sd kernel. Everything worked perfectly. So the quoted statement above does definetly not apply to me!

I rebooted and reinstalled my Titanium Backup and now everything works perfectly. So far i had no lags and the Prime seems to be faster, but it is just a few days so i need to do more "heavy" stuff to see if there is really any big difference. But it is just amazing how much more power we can get out of this tablet! And HB is an awesome rom!

I got one questions though: If i check my internal storage space in settings i can't see the Prime storage anymore. I do see the 16GB of "internal storage" which is actually my ext4 partition on the sdcard and i see the 16GB sdcard storage of the FAT32 partition. But the 32GB of the Prime are nowhere. I mean they are there and i can access it when opening the right folder with a file explorer but i don't really get it.

Could someone explain to me what is saved where? And can i wipe the Prime storage now and use it for something else because all system data and rom/app files are now on the sdcard?

Sorry for the lengthy post. Any explanation would be highly appreciated. Keep up the good work flumpster!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
That is the TF300 bootloader that I use so you are on the correct one.

Try taking the prime off the dock if you have one and do all the wipes in TWRP again.

Reinstall the rom selecting the stock kernel and when the installation finishes and you click finish you will be back in TWRP.

At this point try ejecting the microsd from the prime and then hit restart in TWRP and let it try to boot up.

Let me know what happens.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
If you have restarted your prime since you have installed it then look on the Fat partition and you should see an "InternalSD" folder. This should be linked to the old partition so you can use that space also.

The contents of "InternalSD" only shows a minute after the prime has started.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joshkun:
Yes This is a great news for os. :good: We have to change our bootloader from tf300 back to tf201 to do this.

We have to use flumpster downgrade bootloader zip and that means we have to move to an other rom while doing this. :eek:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
I cant see any reason why the tf300 files shouldn't work for us on this newer bootloader but I am not recommending it until I have tried it myself.

I have nvflash backups already so I have nothing to lose. I will try it on the weekend.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joshkun:
Ok thanks you are saving us again. We waited so long time for this we can easily manage the weekend over :fingers-crossed:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Thank you very much for your donation Scott1620 :good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
I have tested the TF300 files for nvflash onto the Hairybean 2.31 bootloader and I successfully flashed and created all my backups in wheelie.

I will post instructions here later on but I am not responsible for anything as per usual.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Here is screenshot of all the files that should be in your folder once you have completed it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rayman:
Please don't mirror/repack wheelie or the flatline image files. These files are considered non-redistributable and must be downloaded from the androidroot download site. You are welcome to link to the download site urls however.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Sorry mate.. I just placed all the files in one place for them (adb, fastboot etc) so they wouldn't get confused, plus they have to use the TF300 files when on this bootloader.

I will change the links now tho and add instructions on how to merge the folders.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] moonunitenar:
Unfortunately no, it hangs at the asus screen. The only thing I can get it to do is hold power + volume up, at which point it just goes to a completely black screen, but my computer seems to recognize it when it's plugged in. Not actually recognize it though. It just shows up in device manager as "asustek android MTP device".

Black And White Mod

Hi there, when I was trying to flash the Black and white mod from 2.2, it froze the system. Anyway, the B&W modded notification/settings area looked very nice!

(Talking about this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41575089#post41575089)

Anyone got a working version von 2.31? Thank yo guys! :laugh::good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joshkun:
When i'm using the fastboot i'm getting that AdbWinApi.dll is missing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
There is a special way to fix this that involves rolling up one trouser leg and doing a funny handshake but I'm not sure if I should tell you.

Ok, why not. You are already in fastboot as soon as you hit the first screen unless you select anything else.

nvflash HairyBean question

Heelo Flumpster just looking for clarity of process. I have gotten used to using the upgrade and downgrade tools for changing the bootloader when switching between other custom roms and HairyBean and was using 2.2 for a long time before taking the plunge to try others. Right now I am using a PA3.99 4.3 rom but my question is about nvflash.

So if I install nvflash using the instructions on the Androidroot website and all works as planned, in the future if I want to use HairyBean I would have to change my bootloader in order to install 2.31, would I then have to reinstall nvflash? I'm thinking a key component of it is it's custom BL and your upgrade tool would wipe that out wouldn't it? or are there different partitions for the nvflash bl and the os bootloader? Sorry for being such a newbie but we all have to learn somewhere and I do not think an answer to this will be found anywhere else as this version of nvflash is so new. Thanks in advance for any info.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joshkun:
Yeh yeh you have the right to jock about that :D:D, but I found out about that but you are faster than me I was trying to delete this quote

I think it's the drivers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Hold on mate.. I never needed that file but I am going to link a new adb-fastboot zip that I want you to try.

I'll be back in a min.

Edit.. Can you grab the adb-fastboot.zip from the instructions again and extract it in the folder and then start again.

There should be AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll included now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joshkun:
I tried the other drivers and it work do not bother I m moving to the next setp
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Ah... cheers mate.

Added the files into adb zip for anyone else with the same problem anyway.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] philow:
[MENTION=4459404]riven67[/MENTION], Not to answer for [MENTION=3909556]flumpster[/MENTION] but what you need to know is that once you create your NVFlash files and store them in triplicate you can do whatever you want to your Prime including changing the BL. There is no need to stay on AndroidRoot bootloader after saving off your files. If that were the case then all of us that NVFlashed when on ICS we would be stuck there. We are not stuck there and can use this Awesome ROM without the fear of bricking!
