crombi-kk made my tablet slower. It just doesn't respond as fast as the cromi-x. I just reflashed my tablet back to cromi-x and it's really better. I don't know if it's just me or it's the same with the other users. Anyway, I still want to thank all the devs for putting all their efforts in bringing kitkat to our tablets..

Further Discoveries...

So after being frustrated with the touch becoming unresponsive occasionally, I finally gave up and went back to CHROMi-X 5.4. After getting it all setup and starting to game on it I noticed it was still having the problem. So I put some more thought in to it and realized that the only other change I made to it was updated it from 10.6.1.14.8 to 10.6.1.14.10. It said this was requited on the rom page. The only way I could find to do this was over at a different forum (to remain nameless) . I prefer to get all my info here but couldn't find any on the subject. That being said I'm pretty sure that the problem actually is with the I believe its called a blob? upgrade? I would like to fix this so if anyone knows how to do this let me know. I want to get a clean version of the newest one and install it. I know how to use ADB to do it just need an arrow pointing to the file I need to do it with.

Thanks in advance.

BTW Sbdags you Rule love your roms. Without you This tablet wouldn't be worth 1/2 its value. If Asus had any sense it would be offering you a job not just making there roms but making the decisions on specs for their next tablet.

EDIT:

I just downloaded the firmwares form Asus's Site is there a way to reinstall the 10.6.1.14.8 firmware (returning to stock) then use the 10.6.1.14.10 to upgrade officially then I will reinstall the KK rom and see if that fixes it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I kinda doubt that your problem is related to rom or bootloader, but flashing back to stock would be the best way to find out if it is hardware related.

There's no need to flash the .8 firmware - at least I don't see one.

You can just flash the .10 Asus firmware in TWRP. Unzip the downloaded file once and flash the resulting zip.

That'll replace everything: bootloader, recovery and rom. Do a wipe of data in TWRP before you flash for good measure.

Another thing to try would be a couple of different kernels on either CROMi-X or CROMBi.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Claw22000:
After finding a similar thread about a different device I found a way to extract the blob from the asus file and flashed it. The tablet is working just fine now and no longer freezing. I didn't even have to reflash the ROM which is now CROMi-x 5.4 so I will be reflashing it back to the KK version to see if it stays stable. Whoot!

I am not normally some one that can't contribute and I would love to send this to someone that has the ability to put it on the site so others that need to upgrade to the newest blob can access it. if this is possible let me know I would love to give back even though this would be a very small contribution.

Thanks everyone

DrClaw
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Well, I'm glad you got it sorted. You must have flashed the wrong bootloader from that other unnamed forum.

Just FYI, the 10. bootloader is available as a flashable zip right in the CROMi-X OP - and has been there for quite some time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Claw22000:
arrg

:( Well I was right about the blob thing but its an older blob ends in .4 so when I tried to update to kk it hung then upon reboot notice it was an even older blob than I had before. :( So I guess I need to .10 blob so where is this download?

I really appreciate everyone's support. super frustrated with all this right now

Dr Claw

EDIT: Never mind I was looking in this rom its in the original. Found it and got my .10 back thank you!

The crazy think is after all this I'm sticking to ICS because the wife prefers the Stock Asus notification thing. So aside from getting it up to .10 it was a complete waist of time :( well till I get my second one for me anyway then it will go much smoother the second time around I believe.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hks1234:
No one with the same issue?
[Asus Transformer TF700] terribell:
I was also having lots of lag, even using a Samsung PRO microsd to run ROM2SD and using F2FS as the file system, which should result in the speediest setup for this tablet.

What I did, and it is holding up for now, is to change to Grimlock kernel and also to remove the 2nd user I had on the tablet.

It seems that Grimlock is more stable, when I was using _thats it was always crashing the system (applications froze and the system buttons disappeared for a while).

Also the 2nd user must have been putting a lot of stress on the memory available and maybe some IO, so removing it has reduced the freezes on the system.

If someone has other ideas to optimize the tablet to allow 2nd user without freezes, or success stories on that, I would be greatful.
[Asus Transformer TF700] snoopygum:
Sorry I don't use that so I can't comment on whether it would work or not.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedDemon:
I thought I was having issues running XPrivacy, but after disabling it other issues have persisted (mainly long bootup times which appear to be media related).

Just wondering how you changed to the grimlock kernel? Does this need to be achieved through the Aroma installer or can it be done post install?

You could also try using LagFix, which improves i/o performance and can help reduce lag.

TF700t - better under Chromi-X

I want to thank all for helping me get a new ROM on my TF700t. My original install of CHROMBi-KK just dragged the TF700 down. It would not sleep, it seemed to shutdown and when it did it took like 5 minutes to start up. Responsiveness was poor when it was up. The CHROMi-X is much more responsive and doesn't seem to shut off when attached to power like CHROMBi-KK did. Only issue is that after all this to get a OS with TRIM built in so the performance stays high, I can't seem to get my Clash of Clans backups to restart me to my pre-CHROMi state. I have all the backups, loaded Asus Backup and did an install. All the other apps came back with their data, but C of C just does not seem to accept or have the old data. I did a full backup with data of all apps and one with just C of C. I know I checked with app and data option, but no joy. I don't like Google+ (wants too much information) so I did not have a cloud backup. I'm going to haunt the C of C forums and see what I can find.

Anyway, I now have tablet that is usable and for that I thank you! :o
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Find out where CoC stores it's data. Maybe it's somewhere Asus Backup didn't catch.

I am surprised that they don't have an option to store your data/progress online so that you can restore it from within the game???? You cannot be the only player migrating to a different device or computer....
[Asus Transformer TF700] terribell:
First thanks for trying to help but it still is not stable, after a day or two it still blocks and needs a restart.

Next I will try CROMI-X or ZOMBI, let's see how they behave.

I've installed it directly from TWRP, the binary is available here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2743100

I already tried this and I don't perceive any difference after using it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Glowplugv:
C of C Cloud

Yes they do but they want to log in through a Google+ account and I don't like the data that Google would be able to get off my computer so I did not do a C of C cloud backup. Guess I'll need to rethink that position in the future! I'll check and see if there is a data folder somewhere. Big problem is that it might have been overwritten in the restore, but worth looking into. Thanks.

Did you do a nandroid backup in recovery before flashing the new rom? Any data that was on your tablet is in that nandroid.

You can use Titanium Backup or Nandroid Manager to extract it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Glowplugv:
No joy

Good suggestion. I upgraded Ti backup and gave it a try. Had some error message from SuperUser but I believe I got that fixed per the prompts. Proceded to do the restor from the nandroid which was done just before I wiped the old OS so it should have had the right data. Little disturbing that the 0 to finish bar never showed any progress, but there was message on the bottom of the screen in Ti Pro that a restore had been completed. Started the app, and I'm still stuck with a new game not my old one. Unless there is something wrong with the Ti Pro backup, I guess I'm done. I will look around and see if there is a subfolder somewhere with C of C data, but I don't hold any hope out. BTW very happy with the CHROMi-X.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I have to admit, I never tried this function of TiBu - and couldn't make it work either when I just tried...

But with Nandroid Manager you can decompress the TWRP nandroid and you should be able to find the data files wherever they are stored. It'll let you extract them from the nandroid and you can manually copy them to the same location on your tablet.

Good luck

Time for a stupid question I have yet found an answer.

I need to update TWRP and followed the instructions on their thread and website. 1. Downloaded and installed TWRP Manager, selected the correct version and then selected install. The system crashing and the instruction was to try another method. My question is where the instructions for another method.

Sorry for this stupid, but it's been too long I have done anything dealing with rooting, flashing anything and I cant remember the method we used before.

Thanks in advance
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Just download the blob from the twrp website .....

Boot the tablet into the bootloader screen

Make sure the foo.blob is in the current path and run this command .......

fastboot flash recovery foo.blob

replace foo with your file name ....

Let me know if this help you ....

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] timberwolf671:
Thanks for help getting this old farts memory going. Anyway the TWRP Manager did work after all. Even with the system crashing and reboot, the newest version was installed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] John Kotches:
I just got CROMBI-KK up and running, the hardest part was getting the microSD card formatted. Most of that was figuring out that my Mac wasn't doing my any favors on the initial boot of gparted.

Thanks for taking what was a truly unusable tablet and making it very usable once more! You quite literally saved me $300-400 with this.

While initially confusing, mostly on my part due to the lack of familiarity it worked just like the instructions say. Most of the confusion was conceptual on my part, now I've got it.

Awesome!

I've looked around and can't find anything, so I contacted SuperCell and sent them the ID of my last purchase from the Google Play Store. They said they mightbe able to track it down and restore it from their end. We'll see. Main thing is that this forum saved me $450 for a new tablet since my Asus now works. Losing a game is not the end of the world. So thanks again to all the developers!

Did download latest crombi-kk and wiped all. Installed it from SD card and now can't go further from loading page (letters painted red one-by-one or 4 colours flying apart etc).

Sorry if this is old news. But Splashtop will run fine on CROMBI-kk when you put splashtop in "compatability mode" (in the splashtop general settings). Some people say the frame rate is bad this way, but it hasn't bothered me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Felborn:
Seems I made a nice mess out of my first attempt at this ROM. I have been using Cromi-X ever since I got the TF700, but wanted to try this ROM as a last attempt to sort out my lag issues with this device. I did a full format, but something went wrong and I had no progressbar or anything. So after 20 min or so I rebootet, but now Cromi-X dont boot, and when I try to access recovery the TeamWin logo just slowly flashes and that's it.

I can access the bootloader and choose RCK, coldboot or wipe data, but that's it.

Is there some way of installing recovery now, or is the device bricked and ready for the junkyard?
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Yes.

Install your recovery using one of the methods bellow

Fastboot method

(Bootloader with RCK, cold boot and wipe is fastboot)

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp_f2fs.blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

Terminal/ADB

Save your recovery blob to the root of your /sdcard directly (internal memory only).

Launch terminal emulator or connect to your computer and open an adb shell, then type the following:

su

dd if=/sdcard/twrp_f2fs.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

and reboot your device

(Stolen from Preatorian's F2FS thread, since the commands are the same).

Unable to mount internal storage

Hi,

After a few false starts, I have CROMBi-kk up and running in a crippled state.

I encountered an issue with a permanent boot screen using the recommended CM kernel (waited an hour, device was getting hot, repeated without success) so I ran the _that kernel and finally had it working. But then there was an encryption issue, and the system prompt said I needed to perform a factory reset. Tried that to no avail. Then tried a factory reset through TWRP, also unsuccessful, then went back into TWRP's wipe options and tried to wipe the data, and the data wipe routine failed and hung. After rebooting, I was able to (finally) boot into the ROM. Except now I have 128 MB of usable storage which makes the device mostly useless, and internal storage isn't recognized. The internal storage is unable to mount.

What do I do to wipe the encrypted internal storage drive and regain my storage space?
[Asus Transformer TF700] bongmasta:
hmmmm, did u installed thats cm11 kernel from page 124? after the rom? mine also wont boot with that kernel, just flash the rom over and it should boot!

HDMI output not functioning

Hi! I have a similar problem with the HDMI output using CROMi-X, too.

Sometimes it works a expected (with info that a HDMI device has been connected), sometimes the (Philips) TV doesn't recognizes my tablet - even after turning off/on/reconnecting the TV.

Til now I haven't figured out why:confused:. So it may not only be a problem of CROMBi-kk...

EDIT: Better using the Q&A Forum for troubleshooting... (CROMBi-kk Q&A Forum). See Post 4.

been using it on and off for the last week or so (apart for today, forgot to bring my wall charger so kinda screwed at the moment), im away travelling for work so have been plugging into multiple tv's to watch some tv shows and everything so far working perfectly as expected. the only problem i know if it goes to the sleep then on return there is some lag for sound but eventually kicks in after 3-4 seconds of play.

i am using VLC for all my Videos and did do a clean install before leaving last week.

Hi

I'm stuck on boot animation after installing latest build (ROM2SD / DATA2SD), I'll need help ...

The story : I first clean installed the ROM on my SD card and it booted nicely. Then I had the good idea of cleaning my internal memory which was full of old unused nuts and bolts, and thougt the best way was to format /data from TWRP ! It wasn't :(

Next boot stuck on boot animation, tried to re install ROM2SD/DATA2SD without success (still boot animation) and then to re install internally (also boot animation)

What I can see is that TWRP is unable to mount /data.

Any suggestion will be welcome !

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

Uh... did you reboot after formatting data?? :D TWRP gives a warning that /data won't be available until a reboot. I read somewhere that twrp will detect an extSD data install, but I always run data2sd first just to be safe since when I go to backup it always shows '0' for the /data size. And, this is FORMATTING, not WIPE'ing, right? The one that takes 45 minutes...

That should work. If not, then change to the CWM recovery and do a format from there. For some unknown reason, I've brought the dead back to life when formatting in TWRP failed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Narsil:
Sorry, I don't get it. No, I didn't reboot after formatting /data, I'm still on boot animation !

What do you mean by "running data2sd first" ? A totaly internal new install didn't solve the problem, what more can I do ? And what should I format from CWM ? /data one more time and re install the ROM from there ?
