[Asus Transformer TF701] HippoMan:
I understand that the above 11.4.1.27 BL will not work if I try to install it on top of any BL that's earlier than 11.4.1.17. However, my current BL is 10.26.1.18.

Where can I get the US version of 11.4.1.17? I haven't found a downloadable version of this on line.

I found it on the ASUS site. I originally missed the fact that it also has legacy drivers and firmware.

And once I download 11.4.1.17, can anyone point me to instructions for installing it on top of 10.26.1.18?

Should I simply follow the instructions here (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56686861&postcount=537), but just flash 11.4.1.17 in step 6?

Thanks in advance.

One more question: instead of reverting to the offical OTA and recovery, and then installing UL-K00C-US-11.4.1.27-user.zip using the above procedure, could I simplify things and just do the following?

1. extract boot.img from UL-K00C-US-11.4.1.27-user.zip

2. do a fastboot flash boot boot.img

I'm just trying to save myself some time and effort, if possible.

Thank you in advance.

[Asus Transformer TF701] pershoot:
1. Enter boot loader

2. Flash stock recovery for 10.26.1.18 from DB

3. Boot CWM from DB

4. Nandroid backup

5. Full Wipe

6. Flash full system/boot .zip from DB for 10.26.1.18

7. Grab 11.4.1.27 from Asus and put it on a fat32 msd at the root and stick it in

8. Reboot recovery

*Note: If it fails to upgrade you from 10.26.1.18, then update to 11.4.1.17 first then 11.4.1.27, in the same fashion

9. Boot in

10. Reboot boot loader

11. Boot CWM

12. Restore your CWM CM backup

13. Flash a CM build that matches or exceeds the date of your build.

14. Done.

Thank you very much.

So ... to upgrade the bootloader, it looks like I can't simply rely on the following:

... but rather, I would have to install the stock recovery that corresponds to my current bootloader version, and use that recovery load the BL upgrade.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know for sure that the two-step process I outlined above will not work? And if not, why not?

I've been able to use fastboot to upgrade my recovery on the tf701t (e.g., fastboot flash recovery a-new-recovery.img), but is there something different about boot images?

Thank you very much.

.​
[Asus Transformer TF701] HippoMan:
I have some questions about the following procedure. See in red ...

... or perhaps when you wrote "stock recovery" in various places, above, did you actually mean "stock firmware", such as "UL-K00C-WW-11.4.1.27-user.zip"?

.​
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
He means to boot CWM without flashing it.

Fastboot boot recovery.img.

This will give you full use of CWM however you still have stock recovery installed to install the stock firmware.
[Asus Transformer TF701] HippoMan:
Oh, I see. Until now, I didn't realize that a recovery could be booted without being flashed. Thank you.

One more question: what, exactly, do I flash in step 2? I haven't been able to find any stand-alone stock recovery image for 10.26.1.18? All I could find on the ASUS drivers site is the full, 10.26.1.18 "Firmware" (WW_epaduser_10_26_1_18_UpdateLauncher.zip) or the "update image" (WW_10_26_1_18_SDupdate.zip). Does step 2 refer to either one of those?

Also, what do I flash in step 6? One of the two 10.26.1.18 items that I mentioned in the previous paragraph?

.​
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
Go here http://droidbasement.com/asus/tf701t/stock/

and download the recovery.img

http://droidbasement.com/asus/tf701t/stock/recovery.img
[Asus Transformer TF701] HippoMan:
Thank you, but http://droidbasement.com/asus/tf701t/stock has 11.4.1.27 stuff on it, not 10.26.1.18. I would guess that "recovery.img" is for 11.4.1.27 or perhaps for the previous version (11.4.1.17), not for 10.26.1.18 ... ???

.​
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
ahhh, I understand your question. The recovery hasn't changed it is still the same one
[Asus Transformer TF701] HippoMan:
Oh, OK. Thank you!

And one last question: in step 6, what exactly do I flash? Is it WW_10_26_1_18_SDupdate.zip? Or WW_epaduser_10_26_1_18_UpdateLauncher.zip? Or something else?

.​
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:

I do it with XBlast Tools.

First. use the CM settings to hide the battery: Settings->Status bar->Battery status style->Hidden.

Then, in XBlast Tools, go to Status Bar->Icons->BATTERY and select the type of battery icon you like.

You can probably do the same thing with Gravity Box [KK] or XUtilities, after hiding the battery in the CM settings.

No Luck With Battery Drain

Hey guys, came here a few weeks ago with a battery drain issue and I got some advice on what to do (really appreciate people taking the time to help out). One piece of advice was to turn off WiFi in sleep and another was to turn off Google Now listening. I've tried that combination and still haven't had any luck. When looking at battery drain there aren't any apps that are listed as being responsible instead it lists Android system as being responsible. This is making me think that it may have something to do with the kernel? I've tried both the stock Asus builds, CROMi, and CM 11 and both have atrocious battery drain (on standby) and I'm not sure where to proceed from here. If anyone can give me any pointers it would be much appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF701] pershoot:
seems like a potential defect isolated to your device (and possibly like-devices) if you have factored out the software/software settings/apps stack (you've went all the way back to stock and back, ensure'd any apps you may have installed aren't causing an issue (getting ridding of them all and bringing them back in phases/batches for extended testing), etc.).

i'm unsure if stock 4.3 boots on the 11.x boot loader, but you can go all the way back to there for further testing to try if you like (URL @ DB above).

i don't experience this behavior in standby and i haven't heard of the majority experiencing it as well.
[Asus Transformer TF701] asinglenoob:
Thanks for the reply! Little worrisome that no one else is experiencing this, a hardware issue would be the end of Asus for me. I want to love this tab (came over from the TF 300) but another hardware issue is just too much. Everything about it is prefect except for the 5 ish hours of time it can get in standby (seems to get better battery life with screen on than off). I guess I'll take a shot at going back to 4.3.
[Asus Transformer TF701] HippoMan:
Thank you.

I have no idea if it will work, but I'm going to try it. I'll report back soon.

.​

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

... and it worked!

That was fast and easy.

I flashed that bundle in CWM. Then, I rebooted the system, shut down the system, and rebooted again to the bootloader.

My tf701t is now running 11.4.1.27 BL.

Thank you again!

.​

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 AM ----------

A question: is this quick BL flash equivalent to the following procedure I've been asking about?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56686861&postcount=537

... or is there other firmware, besides the 11.4.1.27 BL, which that longer procedure will also install?

Because step 10 of the above procedure restores the CM nandroid, it seems to me that at this point, the net result of all those 10 steps is to give me back the same system I had before, except with an 11.4.1.27 BL, correct? And then step 11 simply installs the latest CM rom on top of that.

Therefore, my assumption is that the entire 12-step plan isn't needed, and instead, all that has to be done is ...

1. install the sdbags boot/recovery bundle, as described above.

2. install the latest CM rom on top of that.

Am I misundertanding anything?

.​
[Asus Transformer TF701] Yegort:
I'm guessing you're on newest boot loader? I'd try a full wipe and use latest boot loader, recovery, and cm11 nightly and those 2 fixes u tried. If still drains prolly hardware.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
That's how I have done my updates, including bootloader updates, for the last 2 years on two Transformers.

The only reason I can see to flash stock recovery and then stock firmware is if you wanted to take an OTA update.

I like pershoots 12-step plan though - elegant ;)

On my HTC M8 you need the stock recovery (for trouble shooting) to do a full factory restore. It does a reset to the radios custom recoveries can't, but that is not the case for the Transformers - AFAIK....

Update on Battery Woes

So I posted here a few weeks back for suggestions on battery issues. I wiped back to stock and nuked everything on the device storage and started over with base Google apps along with Netflix, Greenify, and Wakelock Detector. Everything else is stock. In addition I turned off Google Now auto voice detection, turned off 5Ghz WiFi band, set WiFi to always off during sleep and Greenified as many apps as possible. The results seem to be mediocre. I've gotten my standby time improved slightly but with 8 hours of standby time I'm still down to 30% battery which is huge drain for doing nothing. One point of interest is that sometimes when taking the tablet out of the bag where it has been sitting idle with screen off it is warm to the touch in one area, I'm assuming this has to do with CPU activity during idle. Battery stats show that the system is held awake by Android OS as soon as it leaves the power plug and it doesn't let up for anything. This makes it especially frustrating to troubleshoot because it's not pointing to any specific apps (perhaps kernel problem or issue with the core OS?). I also limited all wakelocks (some of which were in the thousands) that the system would let me limit. For the next step I'm going to try installing stock Cyanogenmod and just Google apps, I'll let it sit idle and see what drain is with that, if drain is still bad I'll do a stock Cyanogenmod minus Google apps. If drain is still high then I'll assume it's some other issue that's far out of my league to fix and hope and pray that CM12 fixes it.
[Asus Transformer TF701] AngryDinosaur:
I believe it's gapps/android system causing battery drain. Close all apps before sleep.

Or reboot before sleep

[Asus Transformer TF701] asinglenoob:
Yes! I've been considering 4.3 myself! I'm not sure what direction to go with this one, tried the idea of shutting down all apps or rebooting but that doesn't seem to help either (not to mention it's really not practical). I just saw over on another thread that someone recommends disabling "GcmSchedulerWakeUpService" and they said that solved the issues for them, I'll try that and if it works I'll report back here with the results.

They were saying when kitkat was released that it has improvements on the battery. Maybe give 4.4.2 a try for now. I personally don't think its as fast as 4.2 or 4.4.4 but maybe that is why.

Battery Drain

I went back to an old backup of 4.4.2 (CM11 20140413 nightly) and battery drain seems to be gone. If you can draw a conclusion from that, tell me because I don't have the slightest idea (kernel, gapps, android OS ???).

Drain went from 8-9%/hour in sleep mode to about 2-3% now...If things stay like that, I will sure be afraid to upgrade:mad:
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Let's try to get this discussion into one thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2609964

Right now this is being discussed in 4 threads that I know of in the TF701 section alone, and it sucks that our attempts to get this solved get fragmented.

I think what's pretty clear so far is:

The battery drain is not rom related and most likely not firmware related either. Heck - it's not even limited to this tablet! There are posts all over the forums....

It seems to be latest update(s) to Google Play services, specifically version 5.6.87 - maybe even the version efore that. I have tried several tricks and workarounds from other device threads and nothing helped.

Clean installing CROMi-X 7.0.3 which came with Play services 5.0.89 has promising results so far. Went from 7% loss per hour to 0.6%/hour over a 10 hour period last night. But this is a preliminary result - need to test further.

Would be interesting to learn what Play services version you installed with that backup and if updating all the Gapps (including Play services) will bring the drain back.

But I'd say, post that in the battery drain thread. It's OT here anyway ;)

Encrypted Tab -> Can't type password after CM Update

My tablet is encrypted and has CWM 6.0.5.1 installed.

How is your rom different then the nightly ?

Massive thanks for you support of the 701. It's sad that Asus's most powerful Android tablet has received so little support. I suppose all the dock problems really turned people off to this puppy.

I just recently unlocked and went to CM11 (waited as long a possible before voiding warrenty & really not liking the ASUS GUI mods and clutter).

Are the Roms you post to droidbasement different then the nightlies (do you're fixes get rolled into the nightlies)?

Is it possible to get the special dock keys (like touchpad toggle) working ?
[Asus Transformer TF701] pershoot:
The special keys work (WiFi, BT, toggle, etc) and all fixes are in main and included in the nightlies, to date.

I'm not sure how well encryption works when upgrading or if there is a bug there or you had a fluke.

You can't really report bugs on nightlies due to the variable nature of it.

Back up your data, flash the unofficial (from droidbasement) and then harvest all logs (kernel/logcat) and how to reproduce if you are still having issue, and post them. When I get some time I'll look at it (trying to wrap up an initial LP rls. so it can be further tested by the masses and further things remediated).
