Restoring ASUS stock after CWM + CHROM-i X

Sadly the CHROM-i X ROM seemed to get stuck into a loop:

Boot, run for 1 minute, reboot, etc. You could login and do a few things and new email was received but then it would reboot again.

Sometimes however I was able to get it to stay running and it was great, very stable, then it would fall into this mode again. Perhaps I have bad hardware?

Tried:

1) Reflashing recovery

2) Wiping everything I could through CWM

3) Redownloading rom and reflashing

4) Factory wipe.

In the end reloaded ASUS stock by using CWM to sideload ZIP. It never rebooted during Aroma, CWM or ASUS recovery.

Got assert failed ro.buildprop = KC00C so had to hand edit out the model name from the updater script. It then look liked the update had failed with error 7 but it rebooted into the ASUS stock. I then quickly shoved an sdcard with the manual update from ASUS on it and it asked me if I wanted to install it. Of course I said yes and it worked without error or hand edits.

So Unlocked and on ASUS stock for now. Will try the next version when you have time,

[Asus Transformer TF701] AngryDinosaur:
When you open the stock firmware zip one file should say recovery. Flash it the same way as cwm with fastboot. I'm not sure if this will work. Wait a bit when [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] or other more experienced user come on

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------

[MENTION=4483064]mattaw2001[/MENTION] can you simplify what you are trying to say. Also list the version of bootloader, cwm, unlocked, before flashing

Because you shouldn't have flashing issues if you met all the requirements he listed in the rom thread
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
If you got an assert failed message then your machine doesn't think it is a TF701T. What boot loader and SKU were you on and what have you now flashed.?
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
I believe you would have to unpack the system blob for that and that's way over my head....

On the Asus download site, they provide the T4_SDupdate file only for WW SKU. All the other SKUs have only one firmware file version. And the update instructions for the T4 version are different too. This version seems to be designed to be used from your microSD versus the other ones from your internal. I wonder if that is because Asus pushed out an incompatible update to WW users which was only recoverable by wiping data from the bootloader and reflashing the firmware from the microSD...

None of that helps you though...

If you done everything correctly: Downloaded the CN firmware twice (just to make sure your problem is not simply a corrupted download), extracted the downloaded file once and you are unable to flash that file in CWM we may be dealing with a new situation here...Namely CWM not being capable of flashing a firmware zip.....

If all of the above is true, the only way I know of to get the latest bootloader on your tablet would be to flash the system blob in fastboot.

You would have to get the necessary fastboot drivers working on your PC, extract the Asus firmware file twice and copy the file named "blob" to the folder where your fastboot.exe is.

Now, I would feel a whole lot better if somebody with more experience than I have - namely [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] & Co - would confirm this, but I think the commands would be, from a command prompt opened in your fastboot.exe directory

fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash system blob
fastboot reboot

But please - don't take my word for it....
[Asus Transformer TF701] super0dd:
Uh, how should I extract files from the blob?:D

Thank you anyway.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
The TF701T firmware files are packaged differently to previous Tegra 3 devices so the above won't work.

What are you trying to achieve? Upgrade your bootloader to 4.3? Currently I don't think you can easily change SKUs and I'm not about to risk trying it as we have nvflash backup method, so if you are on the CN SKU then your options are to upgrade using Asus's CN firmwares. There is no point in trying to flash official WW packages as they won't work as it will check your SKU and fail as it does not match the one on the device.

On the Asus website they list your firmware which you should be able to flash. (flash the zip in side the zip)

Version V10.26.1.18

Description	ASUS Transformer Pad(TF701T) Firmware: V10.26.1.18 Only for CN SKU (Android 4.3)

Steps of Update:

1. Check SW version of your ASUS Transformer Pad(TF701T)*

2. Download ASUS Transformer Pad(TF701T) Firmware: V10.26.1.18 Only for CN SKU and Update version of SOP (From “Manual” Item)

※Firmware update cannot do *SKU conversion* and downgrade version.

Wrong SKU may cause update failure, You can only update your SW version on the Same SKU

*How to check SW version of your Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700T?

Path: [Settings]-->[About tablet]-->Build number

Example: You should be able to see the build number CN_epad-10.X.X.X_2012xxxx, where “CN” means SKU.

compatibility with TW SKU for TF701T?

Hello,

I have a TF701T with TW SKU, just updated to the official 4.3 version.

I am interested to try your ROM CROMi-X 6.0 but I don't know if I can install it on my device (due to possible compatibility issues).

also, do you know how long will take until you will release a stable / final version?

[Asus Transformer TF701] super0dd:
What I am trying to achieve is, to update to 4.3.

I assume that the official CN update pack is really flashable for CWM 6.0.3.7(I did unzip once first).

And I did try to download that file for more than twice in case of corrupted file.

Well I’ll try again to flash it after I back up.

Thank s a lot.:D

Hey man! I might have a similar problem to what you had; I explained my problems in the official CROMi-X thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2608129&page=9

In order to flash CWM properly I have to update my bootloader to version .18 which is not possible with CWM, though. So it seems like my only possibility was to flash the blob within the bootloader (?) which I'm quite scared of. How did you flash the zip file "after shutting down the signature"? Do you think it could help me with my problem? If not, can you (or anyone else) tell me which commands to use exactly?
[Asus Transformer TF701] Snah001:
You must flash the original ASUS firmware from your SD-card.

Atm there is no other way, but probably later on it will be made possible to flash a new bootloader seperately.

Get the .18 firmware here and follow the guidelines: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2554930

You can't flash Asus firmware through CWM!!!

Oh and there is still no JP Asus firmware of .18 so when that is the case you can't flash this Rom.
[Asus Transformer TF701] super0dd:
Well actually I am not pretty much sure about why my problem occured. The last time I tried to flash an official update pack, I checked the signature verification options of the CWM and found it was on, so I turned it off, then flash the zip successful.

I assume that your and my problem could be the result of corrupted files(e.g. caused by interrupted download) or the wrong SKU version. I assume if it is occasionally possible to flash the official update pack thru CWM, since I did try different SKU versions and redownloaded the files for couple of times.

And I really suspect that if my action of "turning off the signature verification" really contributes to the successful flashing, because I believe thaf the official update pack ought to be completely signed and flashable when the SKU version matches.:confused: Things become weird because technically it is feasible to flash official update pack thru CWM, no mentioning it is totally easy to change the SKU version by flashing the renamed official update pack on TF201 and TF300T.:D

By the way, what’s the SKU version of your device?

:p:fingers-crossed:

Whatever, I am enjoying the CROMiX ROM. Thanks to sbdags.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Calp:
Thank you for your answers, guys!

I might have given a bit too little informationen, sorry:

- I cannot flash the official firmware from my SD-Card since it would need the stock recovery to work. I had broken the stock recovery by flashing the wrong CWM version (which was supposed for bootloader v18 but I still had and HAVE bootloader v7)

- I can't flash the official firmware (tried to in order to get to bl v18) with the currently installed CWM version; it starts installing but has problems with writing the blob file obviously (I posted the error log in the official CROMi-X thread), thus the file gets flashed partly (leaving an unstable system and an untouched bootloader)

-> My problem isn't caused due to corrupted files but by having flashed the wrong CWM recovery on the v7 BL which isn't compatible to it

- What I am trying to do is updating my bootloader to version 18 in order to be able to flash the proper CWM version for it, thus to have a (fully) working recovery at least

- My SKU version WW

- I can boot up my pad completely and use it normally, it seems to be a recovery / bootloader only problem

---> I'd be absolutely thankful if you could help me! If you need any more information I will post them asap. Thank you!!
[Asus Transformer TF701] super0dd:
Just so we are clear. I think I got you, bro.

So your problem is just about the WRONG recovery, which does not match the bootloader, right?

If yes, you may just boot to the fastboot and then flash an older CWM, like 6.0.3.7?(I consider this version the best for your current situation as I’d used it for some time noticing its features all works well without known bugs so far)

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

All the resources and tutorials can be found in this forum.

I still want to know what your current CWM version is tho it is "broken" now.

But anyway I gotta sleep now. It is midnight 0154 in China at this moment.:eek:
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
Have you tried just booting the Recovery that you need, turning off the signature verification and flashing the stock update?

So copy the CWM version that you should have to your fastboot folder then from command prompt

fastboot boot recovery.img

This will boot your correct CWM, go to install zip, toggle signature verification, choose the stock update, then corss fingers and reboot ;)

This should give you the correct version of CWM to flash the update.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Calp:
Let's rather say: I have the WRONG bootloader for the Cwm I would need. I am on CWM 6.0.4.5 which is supposed to be for my bootloader version 7 (?)... I already tried to boot into / flash the CWM version 6.0.3.7 but it didn't work at all (didn't start).

My current CWM seems to be work almost flawless (seems like backup restore always fails) but when I try to flash the once unzipped official firmware zip I get an error it seems like having problems with writing the blob file (see official CROMi-X thread, I posted it there).

Thanks for your help!

I tried to fastboot boot both the CWM for v18 bootloader and the CWM 6.0.3.7 - neither did work. I do have an mostly working CWM recovery installed right now, though. Do you think it would help to turn off signature verification and try to flash the v18 update with it? Or would the blob error erupt as well?

Thank you!
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
Ugg, thats a tough one.

Did you try erasing the recovery from the bootlaoder?

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (pick what ever recovery you should be using for your bootloader)

fastboot reboot-bootloader

I see in the thread that [MENTION=3546773]AngryDinosaur[/MENTION] was on that Recovery so I am guessing that you should just be able to flash the update.

I would try erasing the recovery, reflashing it then maybe reflashing the update.

If the update doesn't go toggle the signature.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Calp:
Thanks a lot for your hints!

I erased & reflashed the recovery; afterwards I tried flashing the zip again -> same error

Then I turned off signature verification and tried flashing the zip -> same result but one new error line: symlink: some symlinks failed

the log said the following:

symlink: failed to symlink /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf to Roboto-Bold.ttf: Read-only file system
script aborted: symlink: some symlinks failed
symlink: some symlinks failed
E: Error in /data/media/0/UL-K00C-10.26.1.18-user.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

Do you think I need to do a data wipe before install or can't this be the reason for the error?

Edit: According to the CWM thread wipe doesn't work, though. So if you think I should wipe I will need an alternative way for it (flashable zip?, wipe from bootloader?)...

EDIT 2: Okay I think I have A HUGE PROBLEM - I booted back into recovery to install the v7-zip again (to have a working system) but there are no files on the sdcard! Is there ANY WAY to get the zip file on my storage (fastboot???)???

Edit 3: I booted like five times into recovery and rebooted again (three times the recovery didn't even start) and with the sixth or seventh try, the sd card has been recognized suprisingly! don't know what is exactly going on here... I think it's a bit too late to mess with that stuff. I will rather go to bed now, get some sleep and try my luck tomorrow again!

Thank you so much in advance!!
[Asus Transformer TF701] AngryDinosaur:
try booting into fastboot and flash the 4.2.2 cwm by Drgravy, and flash the zip for the 4.2.2 rom with that recovery. then upgrade. Im pretty sure Drgravy cwm has external sd support

[Asus Transformer TF701] Calp:
thank you but I already tried to flash the recovery cwm 6.0.3.7 (for 4.2.2) and it didn't work unfortunately (didn't even start)... Seems like the only CWM working (at least partly) is the one I've got installed right now, plus I have a working fastboot and adb connection. With these opportunities I have to try to update my firmware to achieve bootloader v18 (at least I think that this would be the solution for my problem!).
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
Wait, I think this person has the same issue as you and they fixed it.

I assume that you are trying to flash the WW_10_26_1_18_SDupdate.zip right.

Mine is the US version so I didn't need that update.

I will download that update and see if there is anything in the update script that can be modified.

FYI I am no dev so there isn't a lot that I can do but I can at least take a look.

Hi there,

I've been wondering, this is only partially related to the ROM but here goes.

When using the tablet UI using the phab7 exposed module, is it possible to "bring back" the floating widgets button to the taskbar?

I've found this feature quite handy.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Ah! no.... Sorry - the phab7 replaces the framework so it doesn't understand that part.
[Asus Transformer TF701] hitmancho:
I have a few (maybe not so important) questions about this ROM:

Does it address some of the software problems I've had with the tablet, namely - slow power-on time (it takes >2 seconds, my LG G2 takes <1 second to turn on the screen after pressing the power button), the persistent flickering on auto-brightness (even after the latest firmware update).

Also, as another user asked, is it possible to mod in the floating app widgets button while using the tablet UI? It would really make it stand out. :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
ROM is speedier than stock and I have disabled smart dimmer from all profiles except power saver.

Currently phab7 tabletui bypasses the Asus framework for systemui so you can't have both.

Mounting problem

Hi guys.

Lately I've been trying to mount an NFS share on my device. I managed to do it from the terminal emulator but mountpoint appears empty in all other apps. I found that this is a known problem which Google introduced when they added multiuser support in 4.2. There are patches for either kernel or dalvik (e.g. here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2107224).

Is anything of this sort integrated into CROMi? I tried both stock modded kernel and CM11 kernel, and neither of them had the issue resolved. Or maybe I am missing some configuration or there are other workarounds?

Thanks for help.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
ah wrong CROMi-X :) Sorry right now cifs shares are not supported. The modules need to be added to the kernel. I'll have a look what can be done but no promises.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sgalanov:
Thank you for quick answer, sdbags :) However my question was not about cifs, but nfs, which seems to be supported by the kernel. I can mount it and see all contents. The problem is it can be seen only from the app where I mounted it (i.e. the terminal emulator). From all other apps it's empty.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Ah right, I sorry misunderstood. I know Google only allow mounts to be seen by the app doing the mounting since 4.2. Not sure how NFS differed from a cifs setup?

I personally use es file explorer which sees my network PCs and drives fine and allows me to share files that way.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sgalanov:
Right, from what I understand NFS does not differ from cifs wrt. mounting. But as you noted about a possibility to build cifs module, is it supposed to work somehow with this >=4.2 problem?

I also use file browsers to access cifs shares, but I wanted to try NFS, since it is much faster, and I am not aware of any file browser supporting it, so it's natural to simply mount it. Unfortunately Google has complicated this path :(

It takes about 5 mins to do and the result afterwards is you have a fully ODEXED rom. The odexed version feels smoother than the DEODEX version to me :) Although theoretically it should make no difference. ;)
