What do you mean, exactly by 'they did not work as I had hoped'? If you can get CWM to load, do that, then you don't want to just wipe data - you want to choose the option farther down, 'wipe data /data/media' or something to that effect. Then do what all the good folks said here - waaaaaaait. IIRC, cwm formatting data doesn't take as long as twrp. But really, if you're stuck on the twrp logo but you can run cwm - does sound like a bum twrp download, as previously mentioned. Bear in mind that you'll need to reboot into recovery after formatting data to get it setup properly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Felborn:
I can't enter TWRP, I guess at this point my partitions are funky after the interupted format. Could I do a fastbooth erase recovery, then reflash TWRP? Or any other way of formating my tablet from fastboot as that is pretty much the only option actually working at this point for me?

EDIT: I tried doing a fastboot erase recovery and reflash TWRP, still can't access that. CWM still works, but fare as I can tell there is no terminal emulation built into this, and a wipe data/factory reset only reboots the tablet to a black screen...
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
In CWM go to "mounts and storage".

You can format /data from there.

Although an incomplete format of /data doesn't explain why you cannot boot TWRP on the recovery partition..... ???

Oh - abandoned News360 on the TF700 CROMBi-KK for NewsHog.

sbdags released CROMBi-KK for the 701. So much to flash - so little time...

You solve it - and I'll be happy to benefit :D :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] Felborn:
I tried doing that now, but the thing just reboots. Seems CWM is not really working, as I can't flash or format but atleast it does start up. I think I did a advanced format, no idea what I actually selected for that. I'm still thinking I messed up my paritions, and will need to repartion my tablet, but then I'm fare from a expert as this situation clearlt shows. Atleast I'm learning, but may have been left with a 300$ coaster in the prossess...

Thanks for that. I was trying the CM method. I did select to disable journaling on install but haven't ever tried fsync off. I backup all my data on my NAS so thought I would try it out for a bit.

I need to learn some more about init.d I think. I've read the thread on here about it but am concerned about boot loops so will take things carefully with a backup in hand. I have tried reflashing to change options but I'm sure that's not how the pros do it ;)

Hi sbdags,

Could you repack a new data2sd f2fs kernel using latest _that9? The data2sd f2fs kernel you posted works well but seems to be based on _that8 and cpu doesn't go higher than 1,5 Ghz even in performance mode.

Hi all,

I have a problem. I`m trying to install CROMBi-kk 20140322...

I have TWRP v2.7.0.0.

CROMBi-kk 20140322 is on microSD.

I start TWRP -> install -> choose "CROMBi-kk 20140322" -> "Swipe to confirm Flash"

and here is the problem: TWRP doesn´t start flashing. It looks like TWRP makes a restart and I´m back on main overview of TWRP....

Can anyone help me?
[Asus Transformer TF700] houtx2:
Maybe try using _that's version of TWRP. It is listed in the instructions. Worked for me several times.

Fresh install

Hi all,

After a fail to upgrade mu Cromi-X to use F2FS, as everything was lost, I decide to give Crombi-kk a try.

So I install the modified twrp that support f2fs, do all the wipes and reboots, do ROM install and finaly install _that9_f2fs kernel posted by sdbags.

I finally boot, I can see he K2000 red bar moving ;), but it is already moving for 20minutes without complete!

Is the first boot sooooooooooooo long ?

Any experience feedbacks ?

Thanks,

JBT1 waiting for it's tab to complete booting...
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Well, yes, it is long, but that is pushing how long it should take.

when you say you did all the wipes, did you format data like you were supposed to?

OP specifically says you need to format data if coming from another base - cROMi-X is stock Asus JB base, and cROMBi-kk is CM11 (kitkat) base. So, different base. So, format data, not just simple wipes.

The process should take like 90 minutes for the formatting alone.
[Asus Transformer TF700] JBT1:
In F2FS thread, it says "3) Enter the WIPE menu and select Format DATA ( warning all your personal data will be lost )"

So I think it is what expect to be done, But I have to admint that operation takes less than 1 minute to perform.

I see in F2FS thread that you are facing difficulties with it, did you ever made it works ? If yes, what kernel did you used ?

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Formatting itself is quite fast. Only ext4 formatting does a "secure erase" pass after formatting, which takes more than an hour.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Did you install the CM11 that kernel for f2fs?
[Asus Transformer TF700] JBT1:
Sorry _that, but I flash Hunds 3.4.5 cm11 data2sd f2fs kernel over yours and my tab boots !

Need to setup everything again :(

[MENTION=1784706]sdba[/MENTION]gs, yes
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
I'm going to give ti a try again. I'm pretty much stuck on using _that's kernels b/c they are so damned good :p

For the actual cROMBi-kk thread, without F2FS, it should take a long time, but using hte F2FS modified TWRP, you're correct, it will not take as long. My apologies, I was thinking that you first installed cROMBI-kk and were going ot go back ot install F2FS.

Yeah, I misunderstood how he was going about it.

4 penguin

When I boot up there is a screen with 4 penguins and a script. What is this and how do I get rid of it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You can't get rid of it and you don't need to (well you can but you'd need to flash another kernel). It is part of _that's kernel initialization process and is useful for debugging if you ever had a non booting device.

You can't remove it. How offer do you boot your tab? Sorry you'll have to live with it. It's part of _that's boot sequence - just ignore it if you don't like it, close your eyes for 5 secs or something. :p

The dock keys should be working with the latest thatv9 kernel - flash it from his post in dev. :angel:
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
I flashed the latest thatv9 kernel and the tablet would hang in boot animation and not finish booting. I tried to flash a second time with the same results. I am using Crombi-Kk 20140322 installed internally ART enabled. It may just be my configuration.

No I used the one in his thread. Version: 10.6.1.14.10-that9

Two great themes are the cm11 reborn theme and the cobalt series of themes. Search for cm11 cobalt or cm11 reborn and you'll find them. They are both free and look really nice!

CROMBi-kk Rom2SD ... It's smooth as butter.

Anyone who has installed it on internal SD and also smooth or is it only good on external?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Gudders:
I've only ever used internal with fsync on and it's smoother than cromi-x in my opinion. Very quick scrolling through apps, switching between. I think it is smoother on dalvik as some apps seem to suffer with art and cause large lags. I can install apps, or copy large files and still make good usr of the tablet.

Occasionally I will still get a small lag or two, but hey it's a TF700 after all!

Sorry if it is a dumb question

Although i installed rom2sd croMBI-kk is running from internal the preinit script says mmcblk1p3 how to have it working from external SD?
[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
Anyone notice video files are not playing? .mp4 or .flv files from my microSD card will not play in any player. Normally I use Dice and it plays everything I've tried on Cromi-X. Those same files will not load using Crombi-kk. When trying Dice to play the files I get "unfortunately, DicePlayer has stopped". In the stock player it displays file cannot be played. I've downloaded 3 other video players and they will not play the files either. I used Astro file manager and the default cm file manager to open the files to see if that would be any different.

When opening Dice by itself the program loads fine but when I try opening a video file from within the program it will bomb. I've tried moving the files form the external card to the internal but that didn't work either. I have a coworker with a TF701 who has experienced play back issues with some files and Dice. Anyone know if there is a media bug in 4.4 or know if CM11 has had this issue?

to get a penguins or not to get them

hi,

always installing this ROM in normal mode, TWRP v2.6.3.1 (installed via goomanager.

on the 2nd kernel I get penguins and reboot to TWRP.

on the 3rd - not even getting those penguins and of course reboot to TWRP.

last try on CM11 kernel and no penguins :(

I'm after full format now

What am I doing wrong?

PS I always get this message on install screen: set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed - can I ignore it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No you can't ignore it - it is why it is not working. WHich bootloader are you on? Assuming 10.6.1.14.x

Go to the downloads section and download the 20140307 version.

Also flash the twrp-2.6.3-that-3.zip file to upgrade your recovery - reboot to recovery after to make sure

Now try flashing again - if it fails you need to provide 2 files.

1. the aroma log from the end of the flash

2. the recovery log from advanced in twrp after the failed flash

[Asus Transformer TF700] guliver365:
No I just get one line mmcblk1p3 but definitely no rom2sd I guess it is maybe I forgot one step during install but I am pretty sure I am doing according to post#2 basically I do

- Install CROMBi-kk and choose ROM2SD install

- Flash ROM2SD1.zip (thanks _that)

- Flash GAPPS Package

and reboot
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
What rom are you running on internal and which kernel? ROM2SD only works if you have a compatible kernel on internal.

RIght now that means you can run CROMi-X, miniC or CROMBi-X on internal if you want to install another rom to external. Any other ROMS on internal and this just won't work ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] pmgnet:
Great! Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Essentrix:
Just got up; so many time zones. I see you're already onto this sbdags. :) Look forward to the updated ROM. Big thank you!
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
You need a kernel with a ramdisk for your internal ROM with preinit support. So for stock-based internal ROMs, use my original kernel, and for CM-based internal ROMs you can use the one from CROMBi-kk.

Remember there is only one kernel, even in a ROM2SD installation.
[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
Thanks for the reply. You two have done fantastic work here and the rom will get better and better.

I grabbed the logcat of when Dice fails to open a video file but programing is not my skill. :eek: Seems as if the system is throwing errors like rice at a wedding. I highlighted where it starts with selecting the .mp4 video file and goes through the errors with Dice. It starts on page 9 but I included everything in case something before or after can be useful for this issue or in general with the rom tweaking. Who ever wants to view it and take a crack at it feel free.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tigerfaninnc:
Let me preface by acknowledging that I may be a idiot.

Now, I installed proper TWPR version, then backed up and wiped (also did an independent nandroid backup as well as Titanium, overachiever!)

I flashed KK normal, but did not stack gapps, thought I would do next, but seperate. I did NOT change bootloader, as the version I have and have been using for all previous Cromi-X roms has a higher number. It has worked flawlessly before even with 5.4 that required what I think is the same bootloader as KK.

Anyway, I am stuck on the red ring boot animation screen going on approx 40 minutes now. Same thing happened last night, so I eventually hard booted into recovery and restored my TWRP back up.

What all have I done wrong? Thanks!:confused:

[MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION],

Just a heads up on attempting set up my TF700 for the first time. Yes, I'm finally gonna do it after lurking around here for months, fighting with Asus to get my Infinity repaired and taking the time to make sure the repairs they made were solid before starting this process.

After unlocking which went amazingly smooth, I attempted to follow your instructions in the OP of your CROMBi-kk thread to use fastboot to install TWRP 2.6.3.1. I used the adb command to reboot and when I tried use fastboot to install TWRP, I kept getting an error, something about not completing the install or can't complete the command. After several attempts, I ended up using blackmambazzz's installation tool which worked perfectly. Everytime I used "adb reboot bootloader" the tablet rebooted to the screen with the pulsing RCK. I then entered "fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob" and would get the error. The twrp.blob was where you said to place it in the folder with the adb.exe file. When I originally installed the SDK, I even modified the path variable so there was no need to navigate to the folder where the .exe's were. I even check the connection with adb devices and the tablet came up in the device list. While at the screen with the pulsing RCK icon, I thought I needed to select it first with volume, but all that happened is an attempt to install a non-existent update failed and I have to force a reboot. So, with all this said, did I miss something?

Gonna install Cromi-x 5.4 first and lurk here for a while. I have been using various versions of CM on a HP TouchPad for almost three years and am currently running CM11 on it right now. So once I move over to CROMBi-kk on the Infinity, it will be like old home week. :laugh:

What you guys do is amazing. Wish the developers on the TouchPad had the same devotion you all do. There are several nagging bugs to be worked out and sometimes I wonder if they will be successful. I'm not saying they won't get it done, just it seems to take forever.

Thanks!!!!

I went ahead and booted back into TWRP and restored to 5.4 again, so ready to try anything else that might work. Thanks!

I've tried using CROMi-X while setting up rom2sd and comparing it to CROMBi-kk gives me strange conlusion...

Is it just me or ui in cromi-x was way more snappier that it is in crombi-kk? I've compared worst crombi-x 5.4 setup with all setups of crombi-kk - all kernels, rom2sd, data2sd... CM11 seems to have unbearable lags. Transtions are laggy, lockscreen lags, opening aps gets laggy, switching them even worse... I get sleep of death nearly every time I try to wake cm11. Well, it may be not really "of death", but sometimes I have to wait up to 30 seconds to get screen on.

Well, the benchmark for crombi-kk is pretty awsome, nearly 10000, probably even more with f2fs. Complex 3D games runs smoothly, I really enjoy the smoothnes once I use an app for a little longer. But for Christ sake, what the f*ck is happening to my ui?! I'm not blaming any dev or being ungrateful, but what happend, really? Some time ago, when on Xenogenesis I was bragging with my device and its awesomeness, last week I mocked by my friend for having a sh*tty device. I now animations are not the most important, but I can't even take out ma tablet and start using it. It takes way too long to get it to work.

My dear Transformer, what has happened to you... :crying:
