Will this ROM works with last TWRP v8.0.0.0 and can i apply HB theme to this TWRP
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
I gave my prime away to the wifey do I don't update it any more as she would kill me. Every time they release a new TWRP there is new functions in it and the skin has to be remade to use them functions so unless you know how to compare the xml files and add in the new sections it isn't going to work mate (or it will work but you will be missing functions).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gquit:
I got this Rom installed and working, but now I lost root. I downloaded rootchecker to verify. Any advice on how to get it back? Thanks!

Downgrade to Hairybean 2.31

Hi,

I have a kitkat based rom installed on my prime but I want to reinstall Hairybean. Do I just have to flash the recovery and bootloader zip from the first post and then the rom or is there something else I have to do first?

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Atlas7:
First you need to wipe data(factory reset via TWRP).

What TWRP and bootloader version you have?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sjrixon:
I've come home :)

I had a play with the CROMBi rom, but there were a few too many things that were bugging me.. So, with the f2fs TWRP still installed, I flash the wook.. Let it boot, restarted into TWRP and installed the f2fs kernel.. So far so good.. Just putting the tablet back together..

Just having the lock screen the correct way when I have the tablet in portrait is so nice :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] r0ark:
Hope you guys can help out a fellow HB user. So, I updated TWRP to version 2.7.0.0 Geass for F2FS and flashed HB 2.31. Everything is working much smoother with F2FS.

Now, I would like to try KatKiss 5 (Lollipop) from the TF300 forum. From what I've read, Lollipop has ART and many performance enhancements. The KitKass 5 ROM says that you need "TF300T F2FS compatible recovery: Latest Official TWRP 2.8"

My questions are:

1) Do I just flash the TF300 TWRP 2.8 from the current TWRP 2.7 Geass?

2) Wouldn't it breaks the TF201 if I use the TF300 TWRP 2.8? Is there a specific TWRP 2.8 version for the TF201?

3) What about the bootloader? I believe I am still on 4.2.1 as everything was installed as instructed from the OP of HairyBean. Will this KitKass 5 works with 4.2.1 bootloader?

Sorry if this is not the right place to ask cuz I figure that the TF300 forum people wouldn't know the specifics of HB.

Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] r0ark:
For those who might be interested.

I just flashed the TWRP 2.8 with F2FS support from the TF300 forum and followed the rest of the instructions from the KitKass 5 ROM.

Still many major things missing i.e. bluetooth, exFAT, older apps supports, etc. but they are updating the ROM.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vitalero:
But it still works smooth on our prime? i was sure its Device-Specific builds

How do I upgrade TWRP 2.5 to newer TWRP on HB 2.31?

Thanks

Edit: I found this file, TWRP Updater 2.6.3.0 (4.1.1).zip, is this what I need?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Do not install Prime versions of TWRP when on the hairybean bootloader, you will soft brick yourself. It says this all over the first post.

Install a version made for the TF300 if you really need to. Unless you are switching roms tho there is no need to install a newer version of TWRP and you are just asking for trouble.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RonH54:
I want to try a new ROM that stated I needed to be on HB 2.31 and have TWRP 2.63 or higher. The update TWRP file I asked about I found on flumster's HB file upload site.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GTIM2L8:
Did you try reading about 2 posts above yours.

He was on HB and changed to an ASOP ROM.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
This has been a long time now but I know I went up to 2.6 at some point and then I downgraded it to 2.5 because there was a problem with 2.6 if I remember correctly.

Show me the link to the instructions you are trying to follow.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RonH54:
Here is link to other ROM: http://xdaforums.com/transformer-prime/development/rom-t2920306. I think the TWRP can be any as long as it 2.6 or above. I probably end back on HB because it what I been on since day it came out just wanted to see something new . I am planning on getting new Galaxy Tab S or Tab Pro for X-mas just looking to play around some on old Prime. I think I can push new TWRP with Blob file I just wanted to see if I could just Flash a TWRP upgrade.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Subsonic44:
I've been playing with that ROM a bit and it is nice. If you want to get the most out of either Hairybean or Crombi or Zombi, read up on making your data partition F2FS. You will need an F2FS capable recovery and kernel. I was easily able to make Hairybean work by making a TWRP backup. Doing the conversion to F2FS with the F2FS twrp, restore Hairybean and flashing the F2FS kernel before restarting the system.

Zoombi is nice in that it has Omni Switch built in which is probably one of my favorite task/recents apps.

As for your X-mas... I really like my 10.5 Tab S. The display is great and it is FAST. But its always nice to be able to reach for my trusty Transformer when the battery gets low on the S.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RonH54:
Thanks for reply and info. I have installed the new KK ROM and only played with it some. I have read some about the F2FS file system but just installed as in on present FS that was on my Prime. I may give F2FS a whirl at some point. I need to get to Best Buy or somewhere and actual check out the 10.5 Tab S vs 12.2 Tab Pro. Since I will mainly be using new Tablet to Surf,email,Kindle and only a few Office things not sure if I need the extra screen size since I will not be Multitasking much. I do like the Pro has 32 gig of Base storage but I probably only need about 10 since I place Movies and Videos on the Micro SD Card.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] raylgo:
How do I get this ROM on data2sd with F2FS? Which files do I need? I am currently on Zombi ROM with TWRP 2.8.0.0 with Rom2sd and F2FS. Apps keep randomly crashing and is driving me nuts so I want to go to a more stable ROM. Correct me if I get my steps confused please but this is what I plan on doing.

1.) set up my sd card with 2 partitions using Gparted. ( First partition is FAT 32 : Size 16GB and second partition is F2FS : Size 42GB ~ adjusted accordingly since there is no system rom needed)

2.) flash "Upgrade Hairybean 2.31 (4.2.1) Bootloader & TWRP (2.5).zip"

3.) Wipe everything that can be wiped (Dalvik Cache, System, Cache and Data, SD-Ext)

4.) flash "Hairybean 2.31.zip" from Micro SD card.

5.) select Data2SD Kernel Option in the Aroma installation of Hairybean.

My question is which recovery is compatible with Hairybean and F2fs? is the TWRP 2.8.0.0 enough? Do I even need to switch recoveries my twrp is a higher version that what is packaged?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GTIM2L8:
All of that information Is in this thread.

Just search the thread for f2fs and it explains it all.

I've already done mine and it works great.

When I have more time I'll see if I can find the thread number.

OK I found the post by hoypoky detailing the steps getting to F2FS but it doesn't cover data2sd too.... Let me edit it a bit though. Correct me if I get my steps confused please but this is what I plan on doing.

1.) set up my sd card with 2 partitions using Gparted. ( First partition is FAT 32 : Size 16GB and second partition is F2FS : Size 42GB ~ adjusted accordingly since there is no system rom needed) and transfer all the files to the 16GB partition.

2.) flash "Upgrade Hairybean 2.31 (4.2.1) Bootloader & TWRP (2.5).zip"

3.) Flash TWRP 2.7 for F2FS from the Geass post.

4.) Reboot into TWRP 2.7.0.0-Geass

5.) Wipe everything that can be wiped (Dalvik Cache, System, Cache and Data, SD-Ext)

6.) Flash Hund-f2fs-v3.4.5-tf201-discardoff.zip

7.) Reboot recovery and flash "Hairybean 2.31.zip" from Micro SD card.

8.) select Data2SD Kernel Option in the Aroma installation of Hairybean.

Did I get it all right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GTIM2L8:
Sorry but I have never used datas2d but that looks right.

I already had 2.31installed and running when I updated to f2fs file system.

I would install 2.31 and let it run for an hour or so first to let it build its cache. It's a little finicky and you must follow the install instructions to the letter. Read, read and then read again the install instructions. Once you get the ROM settled and running then I would finish the rest.

It's been a while since I've done mine but check on the datas2d and f2fs file system compatibility. I'm at work so I don't have access to my information right now.

Hopefully this helps.

Really not enough information to answer your question.

When did it break?

Did you just flash this ROM and it quit working.

Was it working and just quit?

The camera was broken in one of the official ASUS updates a few years ago..it is 100% normal that it doesnt work since this rom is based on a stock release..

For me the front facing camera is broken, the only thing that works is the back..if i remember correctly.

Yep, it is hardware related. Both of mine work and have always worked. There is a video on youtube somewhere showing you the bad connection if you open it up and how to replace it. It is normally the main rear camera that goes and you see lots of green followed by a force close. The front facing camera very rarely breaks.

I had that too already. Returned it to Asus (not rooted or anything back then) and they replaced the camera. Seems to be quite common for this model to break.

impossible bootloader downgrade

hi i have installed a twrp recovery with this rom. now i cant install anything. i get always error status when i try to flash any rom. i can install androwook 2.31.zip only

how i can downgrade bootloader without status error? i have tried adb and flashboot too. same error

thank you
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
You don't say if you have nvflash backups at all. This probably happened because you flashed a recovery not meant for this bootloader.

Try following the linked post but using the official tf201 rom instead. Make sure you extract it twice as it is normally a zip inside a zip.

It will downgrade you to the 4.1 bootloader.

So this is a silly Q so probably an easy answer:

I've been an HB for a while and just switched to f2fs to give my TP a well needed update. All went well.

I'm using Nova Launcher but I'm missing the old style menu pop-up on the lower right side that had everything (settings etc...). Now i have swipe down on the top right and top left. It's annoying.

How do I get the old style bottom right pop-up setting option again? I think it's an HB only perk, but I can't remember how to get it.

thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Atlas7:
In settings you have tab launcher. there you can switch to old style.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wickid_d:
Thanks! I hardly have time to sift these days, so that was a big time saver! I've been considering doing that myself because I love how snappy F2FS is, but I'm wanting something closer to stock to avoid issues that I'm running into with not being on it. So that actually helps me too, thank you! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] webbles17:
Is this the only way to get a newer version of TWRP with the 4.2.1 bootloader? I lost my tab for awhile and I've fallen behind on all this stuff lol. And once I have the modified kernel and f2fs I can flash any recovery on the hb bootloader?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JuraP:
Actually yes, you could to flash any f2fs compatible recovery. I did that with Geass 2.7 TWRP for f2fs. But afterwards I switched to twrp 2.8 area51 (a one modded by lj50036) and did nandroid restore of androwook backup made with Geass 2.7 TWRP, so it should be OK.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sachinkumar1312:
Pacing up with the latest development on TP

I've actually fallen far too behind on any development with TP and my last exercise was almost 2 years ago, so need to confirm a few things before moving along.

Quoting -

["Androwook Prime Hairybean v2.3x

Rebuilt from new WW stock base 10.6.1.27.1 based on TF300 Rom"]

Couldn't find a mention of changing US base to WW base, so I'm assuming I can go ahead and flash it on my TP (which is actually a US base). Is my assumption correct?

Also, I can jump straight from,

Androidroot 9.4.2.28r01 Bootloader

Androwook Prime v2.6

2.6.39.4-motley-lite+ Kernel

TO -->

Hairybean 2.31 (4.2.1) Bootloader & included TWRP

Androwook Prime Hairy Bean v2.3x

2.6.39.4-motley-lite+ Kernel (keeping it same)

and there are no hop-over points in between. Is that correct?

Kindly suggest.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Everything else is fine but you wont be keeping that kernel. You will have a choice as the rom installs and I suggest the Hunds kernel.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sachinkumar1312:
I see. Thank you flumpster.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sachinkumar1312:
Ok, so here I'm.

Updated TWRP to 2.5.0.0 while on the earlier setup, rebooted machine twice and everything worked fine.

Copied (a) "Hairybean 2.31 (4.2.1) Bootloader & TWRP (2.5).zip" & (b) "Hairybean 2.31.zip" to micro sd.

Installed (a), advanced wiped the proposed options and then installed (b) following all instructions.

While rebooting, it said device is not rooted. I swiped to install superuser and root it. (There was no mention of this in instructions)

The machine is now on the first boot screen with Eee Pad logo for a very long time. I'm not sure if it's stuck or doing something in the background.

So when when you say, "restart and allow 30-60 mins for the system to cache itself and then restart again", is it this wait period or you meant allow 30-60 mins when the OS is booted and then restart again?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
You are going to have to be more specific here mate.

You say you did advanced wipe but before it says that it says...

Boot into recovery and flash "Upgrade Hairybean 2.31 (4.2.1) Bootloader & TWRP (2.5).zip" from Micro SD card.

Click restart after completion and on restart LET THE BLUE LINE FILL ALL THE WAY, WHEN IT IS FINISHED IT WILL RESTART ITSELF BACK INTO TWRP OR INTO OS.

If the Tablet does not boot back into TWRP or OS then hold down Power and VOLUME DOWN for 10 seconds until it restarts and the icons appear. Then select RCK manually.

You need to say exactly what steps you did and what the results were.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sachinkumar1312:
Sorry, I was using (a) and (b) to have to not write the full length names.

- I actually installed

Hairybean 2.31 (4.2.1) Bootloader & TWRP (2.5).zip

from TWRP

- Blue line filled

- manually entered TWRP as auto didn't work

- wiped as instructed

- installed

Hairybean 2.31.zip

from TWRP following on-screen prompts

- pressed restart in TWRP as prompted. While restarting it threw a message "Device is not rooted" and prompted for a swipe to install superuser and get a root.

- device restarted but stuck on first screen.

Now that's where I am.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
It sounds like the rom didn't install if it didn't detect root installed.

Get to your bootloader screen where the 4 icons are and up the top you will have a number that will either start with a 9 or a 10. Tell me what that whole number is please.

Also can you tell me did your TWRP change? Is it now themed like the Hairybean Rom?

And lastly don't worry, I read in your last thread that you have nvflash backups so no matter how badly you screw this up we can fix it ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sachinkumar1312:
It read,

Androidroot 9.4.2.28r01

Android cardhu-user bootloader <2.10e> released by "ww_epad-9.4.2.28-20120525" A03

Checking for android ota recovery

Checking for RCK.. Press <Vol_Up> in 5 sec to enter RCK

If I do not press any key, I get to see 3 icons - a wipe data box design, a USB logo and the android logo

If I enter the RCK, I see the old blue teamwin screen; nothing like HB ROM themed.

Edit: I also backed up, System, Cache, Boot and Recovery before moving ahead.

Plus, I saved the installation log after the installation was completed (or so it said).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
The first zip has not worked. The one that upgrades your bootloader and your copy of TWRP.

You are still on the bootloader that you made your nflash backups with (ICS I think)

Try installing the first zip again. Check the MD5 of the file to make sure it downloaded correctly.

Once installed you hit restart in TWRP and the blue line should take a while to fill as it repartitions things and installs new bootloader and twrp.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
One more thing. If that is still running ICS which I think it is I hope you didn't install a TWRP made for Jellybean before you started. That could mess things up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sachinkumar1312:
Edit:

No, I made sure it was an ICS .blob file for TF201. After upgrading v2.2.1 to v2.5.0.0, I booted into earlier OS and rebooted it twice to make sure it was working fine. When I went into TWRP it read v.2.5.0.0.

After that I started the exercise on this thread.

Installed Bootloader file again but same. Will have to check if the file I downloaded is not corrupt.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
If it becomes too much work we could just use NVflash to install the official Jellybean rom and you can start from scratch on that. It might be easier in the long run. Your NVflash backups will still work afterwards.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sachinkumar1312:
You were damn right sir. MD5 was a mismatch.

I re-downloaded the bootloader file and re-flashed it. This time around the blue bar did took time while the internal memory got formatted and now I'm into the HB themed TWRP. (It doesn't tell the version though). I think it should be pretty straightforward from here.

But I'll still complete the whole exercise and update you.:good::good::good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Nice one mate. That is why I always put MD5 hashes because it happens so often.

Keep me informed ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sachinkumar1312:
......and into the beautifully designed OS.

Thanks for today's learning. Despite all backups, precautions and multiple read-outs of instructions, what I missed was a simple but important re-conformance to the MD5 checksums, damn.

Thanks for your support, as always. Much appreciate your and team's effort and time put into developing such a wonderful OS and graphics.

:good::good::good: Thanks so much.
