Asus unlock utility

Hi,

I just bought a refurb unit, so this is my first experience with the TF700T. I read part of this thread but thought that I might get my answer quicker here. As per the intructions, I went to the official Asus website to download the unlocking tool in the drivers-utilities section but the tool is not there. Does anyone know where I might be able to download the unlock tool? TIA.

I had strange thing happen. I used 081014 for few days. Played Dead Trigger 2 couple of times. No problems. Decided switch to data2sd install. No problem with installation. All apps re-installed automatically, no problems. Except for Dead trigger 2. No it says app is not compatible with my device. It is exactly the same ROM, what gives just data2sd vs. internal? I used 1600x1000 resolution both times too. Any ideas?

can anyone give me advice on how to partition an 8 GB class 10 Micro SD for use with ROM2SD+Browser2SD? I store most things internal on in cloud server so I don't need much storage on the micro sd.

Right now I have:

2GB- Storage- Fat32

4.5GB- Data- F2FS

1 GB- System- EXT4
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Thatis a bit small for ROM2SD ..:D

Your setup there looks good to me ... :good:

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] big_sea:
Thanks for the feedback. Should I trim down the storage partition even more to boost space for data?

I was going to get a larger sd, but this tablet is just used for my wife and 1.5 year old watching videos, browsing, words with friends, etc...

Failed ROM2SD Install Preventing Reinstall

I attempted to install the latest Crombi-KK (0810) using a ROM2SD installation.

The initial installation went OK, but hung during the initial Google account sync. After doing a hard reset I've been having various issues all of which prevented me from getting a clean install of Crombi-KK

Eventually I reflashed the latest Asus firmware blob and was able to get that to successfully reboot.

I would still like to load Crombi-KK but this time only in a DATA2SD configuration. Unfortunately after installing Crombi-KK and selecting DATA2SD it hangs on boot with the following message on the screen:

Detecting Filesystems....

mmcblk0p8 /data on internal (uda) -> f2fs

mmcblk1p2 /data on microsd (data2sd/rom2sd) -> f2fs

mmcblk1p3 /system on microsd (for rom2sd) ->not present

The last line seems to indicate that for some reason my device is still configured for rom2sd even after flashing the asus standard firmware.

Here are the detailed steps I performed after the failed ROM2SD install, any help greatly appreciated:

1. Reformatted microsSD card with just 2 partitions instead of 3. It's a 64GB card so I have 1 32GB fat32 partition and 1 32GB f2fs partition

2. Loaded current firmware blob from Asus via fastboot

3. Successfully Rebooted default firmware and went through initial setup (did not setup google account)

4. Rebooted to fastboot mode and reloaded TWRP 2.7.1

5. Rebooted to recovery mode

6. Formatted /system, /data, /cache all as f2fs

7. Rebooted back to recovery mode

8. Validated that partitions were still showing as f2fs

9. Did a factory reset

10. Installed Crombi-KK (0810) and selected the following options: DATA2SD, F2FS User (no journaling), and then the various app options

11. After successful install, wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache

12. Selected reboot (NOTE: Received error that NO OS Detected by TWRP. Also message asking to install SuperSU. Said no to install of SuperSU

13. Upon reboot received the error message above.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
On the bootloader screen give me the version in the upper left corner ....

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
No, that line only means that you can't use that card for ROM2SD.

There is no support for f2fs on /system and /cache, unless you modify the ramdisk files yourself. Maybe that's your problem.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Soccerdad91016:

I would refer to _thats post just above ..... :D

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] Soccerdad91016:
I think that was the issue. Went back through all the steps but formatted /system and /cache as ext4 with /data formatted as f2fs.

Rebooted and went through initial setup ok. Currently restoring titanium backups. Fingers crossed I'm good to go. Interested to see if there is a notable difference with data2sd and f2fs.

Thanks for the help.

How To Confirm /Data is on the External SDCard

I was able to get back on track after some initial issues (posted in threads above).

I was able to successfully install Crombi-KK (0810) utilizing DATA2SD.

However, I am seeing some odd behavior periodically. Specifically, after a reboot sometimes I get an error message about my /data partition. It goes by too fast for me to write down. But the result is that I get a different /data partition than I was previously using.

To help explain, here is what I did:

1. Installed Crombi-KK (0810) and specified DATA2SD

2. Install completed successfully

3. Configured the tablet, my apps, etc... (we'll call this setup A)

4. Worked with Setup A for a few hours

5. Had to reboot for some configuration changes I made

6. Was prompted again to setup my tablet as if step 3 never happened.

7. For grins I configured my tablet and apps again, but selected a different wallpaper and desktop arrangement to help identify in case it happens again. (we'll call this setup B)

8. For the better part of a day everything worked fine on Setup B

9. Today, rebooted again and this time I got Setup A back.

I'm guessing that what I have is 1 installation using an Internal /Data partition and one using an External /Data partition

So my question is, how can I determine where the active /data partition resides so that I can determine which setup is where (Setup A versus Setup B and External versus Internal)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
I am a bit confused .... :cyclops:

How do you have 2 setups ?

Running DATA2SD only puts the /data partition on the sdcard which has to be the 2nd partition

Formatted EXT4... /system still get installed to internal.... I just need some clarification on how

You have 2 setups ...

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] Soccerdad91016:
It's a bit of a mystery to me as well, and I can't say for certain that I have 2 setups, but that is the symptom being displayed. Differences I have between the two:

1. Different wallpaper

2. Setup B I have removed all Icons from the home screen

3. Setup B has older versions of a couple of programs (evidenced by the fact that I have Play store notifications to upgrade them only on Setup B)

The error message that periodically flashes is something about /Data being detected but not usable?

It's a head scratcher

[EDIT]

OK, one more clue, when I boot into Setup A ( the fully updated setup), I am able to unmount my SDCard and continue using the system. So perhaps I don't have a good DATA2SD setup?

If that is the case, what are the recommended next steps?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Sounds as if you installed rom2sd ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Soccerdad91016:
I had initially installed using ROM2SD, and am trying to undo that and go with just a DATA2SD install

Is that possible?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Your ext sdcard is partitioned and formatted correctly yes ?

How did you partitions the ext sdcard ?

If you're sure these things are correct then I would wipe

Both the internal and ext sdcard and do a reinstall and

Then just let aorma set it up for you as per picking DATA2SD ...

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Run this in adb shell or in the terminal emulator:

mount | grep /data

If it shows mmcblk0p8, it's the internal /data. If it shows mmcblk1p2, it's /data on the microSD.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Soccerdad91016:
I Think my sdcard is setup correctly. I have the following on a 64GB Lexar Class 10 card:

1. 32GB Fat32 Partition

2. 32GB f2fs

Could the f2fs be causing a problem? Perhaps I should just go back to ext4.

---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

Just what I was looking for, so the plot thickens.

Under Setup A, I run the command and it shows that /data is on mmcblk0p8

To try and force the issue, I reboot to recovery and install data2sd1.zip then reboot.

As expected I get Setup B, but when I run the command above I see the following:

1. /data = mmcblk1p2

2. /datai = mmcblk0p8

Looking more and more like I need to try and wipe and do a clean install to undo a failed ROM2SD install from last week. But I tried that over the weekend and still ended up with this situation.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
It looks correct to me for data2sd...:) Do you have a third partition on external SD?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Soccerdad91016:
No the External SD is just 2 partitions on a 64GB Lexar Class 10 card:

1. Fat32 = 32GB

2. f2fs = 32GB
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You did a clean format on your external SD and clean installation on your device as mentioning on your previous post. It should work without any issue. You may want to get a logcat when it happens again..:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
data2sd1.zip has no effect at all after a reboot.

So you're saying that you have a Data2SD setup, but sometimes it boots to your internal /data even with the card inserted at boot?

Normally, the microSD card is auto-detected by the init program and if it was detected, the preinit scripts prepare the ramdisk for booting ROM2SD or Data2SD, depending on the found partitions.

It could be that your card is slow to initialize and not yet ready when it is queried - does it say "not present" on the screen with the penguins before it boots to your internal setup?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
+1 :good: It is a good theory....:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Soccerdad91016:
Bingo! That is what seems to be the most likely condition.

Currently doing a wipe and reinstall, hoping that does the trick. Could be the Lexar card isn't quite fast enough even though it's rated as a Class 10.

Will post updates if I get the same error.
[Asus Transformer TF700] darnick:
I re-installed and select wipe data and dalvik before system reboot.

Everything is fine now.

Thank you.

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
I know, I know.

Truth be told RC2 is working pretty great for me. I was on Zombi B7 for a few days, but I had a few issues that put me back on this ROM (battery drain, widget oddness, and dock support cheifly among them). I'm actively watching though and will try out the next rev for sure. Using Nova prime (on internal) I'm not seeing an enormous performance difference between the two.

A release here would provide so much closure :)

Thanks for all the hard work :svetius:
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
O it is not over there will be no closure .......

Over my dead body will development of this ROM ever stop ...

Anyone succesfully running DATA2SD with f2fs?

Curious if anyone is successfully running a DATA2SD configuration with their /data partition formatted as f2fs. And if so, how they went about setting up (type of card, etc..)

I've tried twice using a 64GB Lexar 633x (class 10, UHS-I) microsd card.

Everything works along fine for a short while, even after a couple of reboots for various items. But eventually I run into an issue where the external /data partition is not recognized during boot, with the following message (paraphrased a bit as it flashes by quickly):

"mmcblk1p2 detected but not usable for data2sd (fs: detected)"

If I'm bored, and reboot enough times, it will boot correctly using mmcblk1p2 (external) for the /data partition.

Is this simply a matter of the microsd card not being fast enough?

Or is this an issue with f2fs?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I don't know if it helps or not but I want to throw it out there. I am still running JB Cromi X with f2fs on data2sd. It is still running great without any hiccup or issue so far for the last 8 months when it was first introduced by Hundsbuah and _that...;) The SD is samsung 64GB UHS-I Class 10.. Good lucks...:fingers-crossed:

Edit: Something just popped in mind and would like to ask you. Are you using the auto data2sd script or the old data2sd script?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
It should be something like "(detected fs: unknown)". As I said somewhere else, maybe your card isn't detected fast enough.

You could try to edit /system/boot/preinit.d/20detect-microsd (remember to remount /system writable before and make sure you keep the same file permissions) and insert this line after ". /fs_detected" to override the detected value:

FS_mmcblk1p2=f2fs

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

Hi,

at present I'm running the RC2 of August, 10th... It runs very well but I experience a little problem using mass storage devices through the asus dock keyboard (unfortunately at present I cannot check if the same issue is present with the internal microSD card reader):

When I plug in my USB Mass Storage or the full-size SD card in the dock I obtain a notification about the new device connected

but, if I open the notification panel, there is no notification/message to unmount the mass strorage devices (the stock rom provides a non-removable notification to unmount mass storage devices)

nevertheless, if I unplug the mass storage device (either the USB device or the SD card), the system shows a new notification about the unclean unplug of the mass storage device...

Moreover, to browse my mass storage devices I need to run the file manager applications with root permissions enabled; the stock rom allows this also without root permissions.

Any idea?

[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Just tried RC3, dirty-flashed over RC2. Ethernet is not working properly based on my early looks. It does not seem to recognize it anymore when docked. Worked fine under RC2... I'm backing up/restoring now to see if the bahavior is consistent. If it continues to work correctly under RC2 I'll restore to current and provide a logcat.

Stay tuned...

Update: RC2 ethernet works fine. Will post a logcat shortly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Hmm ok

Will need a logcat for that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Yep. Reflashing RC3 now to see if that helps. If not, logcat forthcoming.

Logcat attached. Note that I started recording just before I docked the tablet. Shortly after, I manually executed a tasker macro that, among other things uses netcfg to bring down wlan0 and bring up eth0. All of this is fine in rc2. Thanks for checking this out.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Just to clarify - you should take the logcat after the issue. What command are you using to capture it with?
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
It was after the issue. The issue appears (or more specifically does not) after I dock the tablet, so that's why I started it just before it was docked. In order to get it captured on the dock, I have to do it on the device... I did it with an app called Logcat Extreme. It's worked in the past -- are you not seeing enough data?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sziggins:
Smooth!

Hi,

I know it is not accurate but I was curious after the 1st impression and the smoothness of RC3 and I wanted to measure it somehow (see attached thumbnail)... [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION]'s overclocked kernel, [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION]' most of the default options, F2FS (internal) and ART enabled!

By the way, [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION]'s thread title needs to be updated...

Thank both of you for the ROM!
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
I did a clean install and it's working better in RC3. Not sure why I had to do that given it was a clean install for RC2...

That said, although I got ethernet to enable, it's behaving differently that before... the icon now shows up but remains black despite the connection being made (usually turns white).

I'll keep playing as these things are the ones that make me a unique snowflake. :confused:
