[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You wiped your /system so there is no more OS...:D You can either restore your /system backup from nandroid or reinstall the kk rom again, good luck...:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] babbehmom:
when i try to reinstall the kk rom or flash, it says "failed"... is there any alternative?
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Since you're using DATA2SD, are you following the instructions carefully?

Specifically would be the format data part.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
sbdags or lj50036 may have a good answer for you about that. My guess is that you may have a data corruption and need a format. It may take about 60-90 minutes to format...:D If the ROM zip file is not signed, you may want to uncheck the verification in the twrp before installing or flashing, good luck...:fingers-crossed:

[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
ditto here - using data2sd. I remember this from a couple builds ago
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kite09:
I did the re-format like you said and I still keep getting the same error. To be exact I'm using miniCROMi-X DEODEX v2.0.1_Signed for the miniC and the latest cm-11.0-20140402-CROMBikk4.4.2-tf700t_Signed that he just released today.
[Asus Transformer TF700] babbehmom:
i already tried that. if a hard reset doesnt work, i dunno what will. please, if anyone knows, tell me what i have to do
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yeah I can't get calendar to even show up in the sync options with the new gaps package. OK let me see if I can figure out why it has gone missing.

What is the error and can you provide the recovery log?

---------- Post added at 11:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------

What is happening exactly?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kite09:
I won't be able to provide a recovery log. No way to upload anything currently I am at work. But I keep getting a Data Encryption Failed whenever I try to install the rom2sd version of Crombi-KK. It will say Data Encryption Failed and you must perform a factory reset to use your device. Then it takes me into TWRP and does the reset, reboots, and then tells me the same thing again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] babbehmom:
I flashed CROMBi-KK's march 22nd update. I opted to go with Data2SD and everything was going fine. Except, today, my tablet crashed and when i restarted, it started saying that i have corrupt partition and i need to wipe my data. Then Google Play Service continuously popped up saying it has failed. Therefore, I tried to re-flash CROMBi-KK, but it kept on saying "failed". So I booted into recovery and used TWRP to wipe the system/data/cache clean (which pretty much wiped everything off of my Micro SD card).

Then i couldnt boot anymore because it said there is no OS installed. TWRP offered option to install SuperUser because apparently i didnt have it rooted anymore. So when I would try to have superuser installed, it would crash on the line saying "system unmounted". I went back to TWRP and checked the box with mounted "system" but when i would restart it, it would go away and once again the booting would crash on the SuperUser screen (penguin on top of screen) with last line saying "[12.317651] preinit: ## debug ## /system unmountedcpu ext_temperature=37".

I have no idea what else I can try. I tried to do hard factory reset and still no luck, it gets stuck on that screen. however, i can still access TWRP, so maybe you have some idea what i could do to have system mounted and the problem fixed. i would really appreciate it!!

would u like me to provide an image of what i see on my screen?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Hmmmm... let me check mine - I may have missed a file from the new gapps
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Wasn't it like calendar storage or something last time?
[Asus Transformer TF700] GrimSage:
very first thing thank you to sbdags, _that, lmk, hunds, lj and all the others that have made this wonderful. I have been using the roms by you guys since the begining, I might have flashed the one of last CleanROMs but only remember CROMI thank you ALL!:good:

I just want to make sure I do things right. I want to make sure the steps to install f2fs (maybe we should put something up)

0) CromiKK on internal with twrp2.6.3_thatrecovery

1) download twrp_f2fs

2) download CromiKK 20140402

3) use adb to install twrpf2fs

4) format all the things

5) install cromikk

Is there anything else needed?

P.S. You can format an SD card for ROM2SD or DATA2SD without having to actually format a usb drive and reboot your machine. You can use VirtualBox to boot the gparted iso and just attach the sdcard as a device and are able to format it. As some point I will do some screenshots for you (I am on a mac and we cant boot the gparted iso)

Did you wipe your /cache after switching to ART? I think that dalvik and ART are using different runtime...

EDIT: Oops, I don't know if it is alright to answer a question in the development thread, sorry...

Ok I moved it back to the FAQ

well when I switch to Art it does not give me any option to wipe so how to do it from there?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Boot into your recovery and wipe both cache and dalvik cache, good luck...:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
I flashed Crombi-KK 20140402 using the ROM2SD option and I love it, I installed News360 for tablets at the Google play store instead of Amazon and it worked with ART on or off. I haven't decided weather to use ART now or not as it gets better quadrant scores but maybe not always as smooth. Besides with ART on, the kill app button does not work because the status bar Google search circle is in the way, no matter where I move the kill app button but it works with ART off just fine and I use the same kernel by _that v9. Anyways great work again team Crombi-KK you set the bar high. [emoji106] We all know Asus dropped the ball on the TF700T [emoji458]
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
I just configured the long press of the back button to kill apps. Works perfectly fine.

Settings --> Developer Options --> Kill app back button (scroll all the way down to the end of dev options)

I remember reading about this in the early days while I was investigating unlocking and rooting my TF700. From what I remember, the procedure scared the heck out of me. Looked more dangerous than the condition one would be trying to fix(bricked). Has the process been simplified at all? Any good tutorials been written?

Thanks,

NT

P.S. I did Google Nvflash and everything I found was two to three years old.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
The only risk is when you first flash the mobiteam image of the bootloader...:o After that, everything should be safe because you generate or read images from your device...:good: The risk is the same as you are updating your bootloader version from Asus firmware... In my opinion, it is very safe if you are following the guides closely and have your battery fully charge with the AC plugging in and do not interupt the flashing proccess...:)

The process is straight forward when I used it...:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
This process was put up about 6 months ago, specifically for TF devices on JB (and the Nexus 7).

I'm going to do it just to be sure I never b0rk anything in the future.

[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Did you get it done, you have your nvflash blobs in hand ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eddie Hicks:
Since you have to wipe data to install this ROM can you restore data using TiBu or TWRP? Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
Since I am using ROM2SD if I turn the tablet off remove the sdcard turn the tablet back on to check something in CromiX then turn the tablet off again and replace the sdcard and turn it on again should I boot back to Crombi-KK on the sdcard okay?

Edit: Not a good idea! :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
Yeah, I've been reading those guides, but like you mention, they are for JB. We are discussing this in a KK Q&A thread. Are you saying a blob has been created for a TF700 running off of a 10.6.1.14.x or more specifically 10.6.1.14.10 boot loader which if I have read correctly, you get that from them and fastboot or ADB it to your tablet. (But all the Nvflash blobs I have found are for really old boot loader numbers.Example :UPDATE 4/5/2011: New blob released! This blob is intended for latest firmware update (V8.2.3.9)) Then you can use Nvflash to grab and save images of all your critical partitions.

It looks like to me, you are going to have to remove KK and go back to an old factory Rom from Asus and an old boot loader, ADB the Nvflash boot loader, grab all your images for use if you brick your tablet and then start the process of putting KK back on with the AndroidRoot.Mobi as your boot loader. Am I even close?

If you have a link to the latest, up-to-date info, please post it. Thanks NT

I ran across a thread(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2538028&page=3) you started about unbricking one's TF700, but it's all about what you do after a brick, not how one got to the point of getting Nvflash on the TF700 and saving the needed files. You mention saving files to the HOME folder, I gather that is Linux speak for the root of the hard drive? I hope you can see what most of us non-Linux users are up against. Questions like can this be done from a Windows machine come to mind. Is there a Nvflash blob for a 10.6.1.14.x based boot loader? Or do I have to install something even older along with an old Asus Rom? Is there a current guide on how to do all of this? Like I said a post or so ago, all the guides I have found are very old. Thank, NT
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
If you decide to do it, this is the ONLY guide you should follow.

As LMK said: If you don't sc*** up, it's quite safe ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kite09:
Here is my installation log.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
Thanks. So what version of Android/Asus Rom is 10.6.1.14.4 boot loader for?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I think that it is the Asus firmware version....:) The bootloader is 1.00e that I believe.. I got mine with .14.8...;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Yes of course this can be done from windows... If you would like to make this happen, I am here to help

Shoot me an email at jl52741@gmail.com

It is most important that you generate these files....

[MENTION=5313285]LetMeKnow[/MENTION] :D

I like messin with LetMeKnow :D:D
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
10.6.1.14.4 is the number of the Android Root patched boot loader I got from their guide here: https://www.androidroot.mobi/pages/guides/tegra3-guide-nvflash-jellybean/

Before unlocking you could check the boot loader version in the upper right hand corner. After unlocking all you can see is "THIS DEVICE IS UNLOCKED". I remember mine was 10.6.1.14.410 because I had the latest version of Asus JB installed.

And then after you have accomplished grabbing all the needed images and stuff with Nvflash, there is the matter of trying to recover a bricked TF700 which is not covered in Android Roots guide. lj50036's guide is done using Mint Linux. That is another huge learning curve to overcome. Hope I never have to do anything like that, but if you don't at least get the saving of the needed files done, you're toast.

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------

Doesn't everyone!! :laugh:

I think I can get the saving part done, and hopefully will never need to try to recover a bricked tablet. I've read your guide using Mint Linux, and that looks almost as scary as doing this.:( What about a Windows version?

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You can check your firmware version and bootloader version when you are in the bootloader menu...:) lj50036's guide is for a softbrick fix and very good guide indeed...:) When you are hardbrick, you have only apx access and it is useless if you don't have the wheelie blob.bin to enable the Nvflash mode. You can not use the Nvflash tool to flash the images back into your device. I believe that are the terms users use around here, hehe. If you ask mobiteam to post a guide to unbrick users' devices, they will do it..;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
So let's see if I got this straight:

You installed mini-c to internal and it boots fine - correct?

Then you install KK as ROM2SD, boot with the microSD inserted and end up with the "encryption unsuccessful" - correct?

The log is from installing CROMBi-KK to external and it seems to indicate you have a problem with /data.

When you formatted data, did you flash rom2sd1 first so that TWRP formatted your external data partition? If you didn't, do that and reinstall KK as rom2sd.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Hi my friend,

I have not seen you for a while and thought that you are MIA...:confused::silly:
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Just to clarify, My guide is for a hardbrick, no fastboot access... There are 3 files that need to be pushed to your tablet with nvflash, than you will

have fastboot back, than you can push the stock Asus blob with fastboot and get a working tablet back....

But now I have come across another scenario, even after you get fastboot back the tablet will not let you push the stock blob,

So I am working on a tutorial on that too...... ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Not yet - I see below you're working on a tutorial, so I'm willing to use my tablet as a guinea pig, if you want

JB bootloader not ROM

That's the one I am using, in conjunction with LMK's help.

I can do this via email...or here...or G+ lol.

As I said above, willing to take a crack at it, since I didn't ever get to make one before....
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kite09:
Correct. It boots fine with mini-c, and then when I flash Crombi-kk it gives the error. I have just tried again as rom2sd after reflashing the rom2sd1.zip and still received the error.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
No - my question was: Did you do the following?

boot into TWRP

flash rom2sd1

Wipe menu > Advanced > Format data
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kite09:
I did not do it like that. I'll try it that way this time. Last time I only re-formated my system.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Oops, sorry...:o I ran across one of your tutorial that used fastboot so I thought that is the one we are talking about...:silly: Did you use nvflash download to push the bootloader image back in?

EDIT: I would love to see your tutorial to unbrick with nvflash so I can learn it, just in case I need to use it later, hehe...:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You do not need to format /system. It gets formatted with each rom flash anyway.

I believe, this is the problem:

Since you were installing as rom2sd /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 is your external data. To format it in TWRP you have to flash rom2sd1 first.

Then reboot

Boot back to TWRP

Install KK as rom2sd

[MENTION=5313285]LetMeKnow[/MENTION] [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] - did I get that right???? [emoji15]
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Its in my sig :silly:
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
Are you guys saying it is possible to get the files necessary for Nvflash even after you have unlocked, rooted and installed custom ROMs. I thought I had read approximately a year and a half ago when I bought my TF700 that it was not possible? Have I missed something alone the way?:confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You are correct..;) The internal data partition is corrupted and can not mount according to the log.. Obviously, when you are running JB and install KitKat on top of it, they are not compatible for some reasons.. So the user did not switch to the external data partition when he/she flashed the kk rom for the rom2sd...:confused: I think that what I undderstood...:D

EDIT: Ooops, I missed the main question...:o

The external data partition should be /dev/block/mmcblk1p2...:)

EDIT2: Big sorry, I am thinking about data2sd.. I don't know much about rom2sd.....:crying:

Please discard my reply....:o I am too tire and need to rest.....:laugh: Off line.

[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
No, he was installing KK as ROM2SD. So if TWRP reports data corruption on mmcblk0p8 it should be external data since Aroma runs the script to change the nodes (point TWRP towards external) for a rom2sd installation, right?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You know better than I do on rom2sd and mounting nodes. I thought of data2sd when I replied, sorry...:p

EDIT: Just ckecked the rom2dsd1.zip. sbdags used the shell script and replaced them with node 179 50, 179 51...

It is confusing and hard to troubleshooting...:confused:

Finished the whole system re-format.

Then flashed rom2sd1 in TWRP

Rebooted

Flashed kk in TWRP

Still getting encryption failed error?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Why are you flashing the rom2sd1 than rebooting ??
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kite09:
I was following the advice of berndblb.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
He was referring to formatting so you...

flashed rom2sd1 (from twrp)

than formatted external_sd (from twrp)

than rebooted

than install kk as ROM2SD

There is also the fact that you have to have some form of CROMi-X installed on internal..

and you have partitioned your external_sd card as per the intrusions??

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kite09:
FLashed

Formatted external sd from TWRP

And rebooted and installed ROM2SD

After reboot still shows encryption failed. And I have the latest de-odexed CROMi-X on internal. Could my partitions on my external sd card be too small?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Give me the partition layout of your external_sd card ......:fingers-crossed:

Can you give me a logcat of the first boot...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kite09:
I'll check my partitions to check, and I'll be honest I have no idea how to do a logcat. I've never had this much trouble flashing a rom before to ever need to know how to do this.

[Asus Transformer TF700] babbehmom:
Yes. My Micro SD was formatted correctly and everything was fine for about a week after i installed the ROM with data2sd. This problem only random occured yesterday.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I'm confused (as are you :) )

Don't you just need to reformat you data2sd ext partition and reload the rom?

If you had data journaling off and / or fsync off then very likely if the device crashed it has corrupted the data partition. This is why they are not enabled by default and I put warnings in place.

How are you formatting the /data2sd partition on your sdcard? Which tool?

[Asus Transformer TF700] babbehmom:
Haha yeah unfortunately I am it seems. I cannot flash any ROM because when i do, it says "failed". And the boot doesnt get past the initial page because it says system unmounted (i pressed the check-box for "mount system" on TWRP but when i restart, it goes back to being unchecked. I have no OS installed, everything is fully wiped.

My micor SD card has the FAT32 and Ext4 (4gb and 12gb respectively). i followed your instructions for formatting the micro SD and everything was fine. And then after about a week, the message came up that my data is corrupted and Google Play Service and alot of other stock apps wouldnt run. So i tried reflashing, but it said "failed" each time. and thats why i formatted and wiped everything. but everything got wiped including the OS. i have no nandroid backup available, i cannot find it.
