Not sure what went wrong, but you can always give this a try.....

adb shell
killall -19 recovery
make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

This should format /data, You will need to use the hardware button to force reboot......

reboot back into recovery and see if /data can be mounted now ......

Thx Josh

Sound like to me that you would need to reflash your recovery if you flashed the stock Asus firmware ....

As that contaiins the stock recovery which would erase the one you had installed...

Thx Josh

Lol thanks, excuse my lack of patience or what not. I used Scotts tool too flash twrp (which I had on my PC from months ago) after I updated twrp like told in the new ROM and then I rebooted into twrp once more and installed the ROM for now everything seems fine letting it settle for a few more mins. The kk seems a lot nicer then jb... As I have bull**** s4 with locked BL ?

Hey,

I've installed this rom, and chose the default options if I recall correctly.

The problem is that after a shutdown (normal battery drain to 0%) I got in a bootloop - that is I see the L bootanimation constantly.

What can I do now?

Should I re-install the ROM?

PS: I've flashed the latest recovery from TWRP (2.8.1.0 - downloaded the blob from their website) as I had the 2.6.x.x.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Read the logcat to find out what the problem is. Or if you don't care about your data, just run "wipe data" in the recovery.
[Asus Transformer TF700] militiaOfDeath:
Got my micro-SD today, going to install ROM w/ data2sd now. Think I'll start with a full vipe as I haven't done that for ages.

Will this order be OK?

1) Full wipe

2) Flash ROM to internal

3) Without booting system, flash ROM w/ data2sd option,

or do I have to boot the system in between flashing the rom to the internal and before flashing for data2sd?

(Or have I misunderstood everything, and I can flash w/ data2sd without having to flash the ROM to internal first?)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
You will have to partition the mircosdcard first as per the OP ...

Then aroma will do the rest, just choose to install it as DATA2SD

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] militiaOfDeath:
Did as I asked about, without rebooting after the first install. Works fine now, only thing was that I spent some time figuring out that I needed to remove the micro-SD prior to installing the ROM to the internal storage. With the micro-SD inserted the flashing never finished updating the partitions. But once I removed the micro-SD it worked just fine. So now I hope the tablet will behave somewhat smoother!
[Asus Transformer TF700] VancerX:
Success!

I tried your suggestion and it worked like a charm. Thank you so much for the help. I was at the end of my rope.

Random reboot, slow boot, etc.

Dear all,

I am new to this thread (and forum) even though I downloaded and installed this a good while ago (when it was released). First, I wanted to thank the people that made this ROM possible. Sometimes I enjoy it very much.

I have been trying to find other people outlining similar issues to mine with varying success but nothing I found seemed to point towards people experiencing various of these problems at the same time. I am not sure how this is supposed to run but the issue I think that I experience is that it usually takes about 5 minutes to boot (sometimes longer), it sometimes re-boots randomly (out of nowhere), when the device is asleep it does not react to me pressing the power button for me to put my password in (I keep pressing it, wait, sometimes after a few minutes it works, other times I loose patience and restart it), sometimes after booting I have to reset the language, etc. (for no apparent reason).

I am not sure what I did wrong and what is causing this. I flashed the ROM from recovery using clockwork mod. I since installed the R1 patch that is here and yesterday installed the patches that can be found under downloads above. Everything seems to be the same at the moment (well, it has not restarted randomly yet).

I feel like I should start from scratch, wipe the device of as much stuff as possible (how do I do this?) and flash it again. However, the setup (apps, themes, etc.) took me quite a while and I am happy with all of that so I was wondering if anyone here can think of what else I could do?

Thank you very much for your help.

Cheers,

Philipp
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The patch (you only need the one form the first thread) should fix your issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] philippg:
installed patch

Thanks for your prompt reply. I have installed the patch (and that patch only) in recovery with CWM again and am now seeing how the device performs.

I will keep you posted about how it goes.

Thx

Philipp
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mikey1969:
OK, I've been waiting awhile since the last version, assuming that others are having the same issues, so I didn't post them. This isn't one of those 'Why doesn't someone fix this crap?' posts, I only put the part above to state why I hadn't reported this earlier, I had just made the assumption that someone else had brought it up. Not trying to step on any toes here, I just feel kind of silly since I haven't brought these up.

Anyway, these are the issues I notice the most, none of them are enough to make me switch from this ROM, but I should have posted them earlier. I think I see these more with this build than the previous ones.

1. Sound issues. Every 4 or 5 days, I won't get sound inside a variety of games. Sometimes it's on game launch, other times, it shuts off in the middle. Volume up/down doesn't work, I have to exit the game, turn it up and down, and re-enter. Usually that works, but sometimes it needs a complete reboot.

2. OS slow down. Usually about every 2 weeks, I have to wipe and reinstall the ROM, it slows way down, and everything becomes an exercise in patience, knowing that even though the icon didn't highlight, whatever app I'm trying to launch will eventually do so. If I wipe/reinstall, it works again for awhile. It doesn't really matter what I'm trying to launch, whether it's a game, a browser or the calculator. The tablet starts out speedy and just eventually slows down.

3. Tablet going to sleep and not waking up, it's on, but I have to hold down power, forcing a reboot when this happens. I'll have to hold the button down until I get the vibration signal that it's shut down.

4. Orange WiFi bars. This one is fairly regular, I will have a connection, but items that use my Google login, or something similar, such as game stats using Google+ won't run right, and sometimes won't run at all if they require an Internet connection. When I go into settings, the signal bars for WiFi will be orange instead of white, and I will have to turn WiFI on and off. Sometimes cycling WiFI 8 or 9 times off and on will fox this, sometimes I need a reboot of the tablet.

5. Tablet not waking up quickly. Sometimes when this happens, I think it's because of #3, but sometimes it's not frozen like in #3, I just have to wait about 30 seconds, and it will finally wake up. This isn't always the scenario from #3, I've tried to wake it up some times and waited like this, but it never has woken up, just sometimes it really really lags.

These don't seem like memory issues, or running the tablet past its capabilities, it will show video just fine, and will play pretty much all of the high end games on the Play Store, I'm actually really impressed that a 2 year old tablet model is still keeping up so well.

This is still the best ROM I've run on this, and like I said, I'm not bringing these up because I'm demanding a fix, I've just been holding back from adding to the list of fixes, and I figured maybe someone else had brought them up. Either way, I still appreciate all of the hard work involved here, and continue to recommend this ROM when I can.
[Asus Transformer TF700] n0xlf:
I've seen the same things, with #2 obviously being the worse of them..(and this is with the patch)

That being said, hope everything is going well with sbdags. These ROMs are fun to tinker with, but there are way more important things...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mikey1969:
That's right, sdbags had family issues(Seems like it was health issues with your wife?), I forgot. I too hope that everything is OK now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Sounds like a lot of issues there.

# 2 Have you tried moving to f2fs and / or data2sd or rom2sd? Unfortunately the TF700 has issues with its internal memory card and with their only being 1GB of it I can imagine that with lots of use it would cause some issues with modern games demanding more use.

#3 & #5 sound like kernel issues. Which kernel are you using?

#4 is probably your router. Or you are at a point where the signal is inconsistent. Nothing I can do about that.

#1 Haven't got a clue - badly programmed game? Any one else having sound issues?
[Asus Transformer TF700] philippg:
Random reboot, slow boot, etc.

"#3 & #5 sound like kernel issues. Which kernel are you using?"

I have got the same issues. In case you find this info useful. The Kernel I have is 3.1.10-that11+, that@ws #3

I have also installed the patch as you suggested. Booting took 7 minutes this morning and still always takes more than 5 minutes.

Thanks a lot for your work and help!

Cheers,

Philipp
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
I see #4.

Happens in same room as the router (excellent signal - Asus RT-AC66u), usually (always?) after the tablet has been sleeping for awhile. Only one cycle of WiFi off/on fixes it for me.

None of my other devices do this. Thinking it's a driver thing?

edit - I'm on ZOMBI. I can't remember of I also saw it on CROMBI

[Asus Transformer TF700] gc2712:
I also have those same issues reported above and patch installed with 3.1.10-that11+, that@ws #3 kernel. Bootup too takes 5 mins plus. Internal ROM install (no data2sd). I find the progressive decline in performance mentioned can be improved considerably for a while by running "fstrim -v /data" in terminal as superuser every week or so and then cold booting. It takes about 10 minutes for TRIM command to complete. This doesn't improve the boot time though. I've also wondered whether the problem is to do with Chrome browser, as often other functions perform very quickly, but the browser lags horribly even with cleaned cache. But its still my preferred ROM and I'm sticking with it and am thankful to the developers for their efforts and sharing.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Mikey1969:
The kernel I'm using is the default choice on install, only because I don't know of enough about the differences to change them. 3.1.10 that 11, I think. I haven't tried the ROM 2SD options only because I don't have a nice enough SD card yet. As for sound, it's happened in a couple of games, but not consistently.
[Asus Transformer TF700] n0xlf:
I'm using F2FS when I see #2 (slowing down over time) - I see #3 on a friend's that I put the ROM on, but not mine (same kernel)...Odd
[Asus Transformer TF700] snoopygum:
I see #2,3,4,5 as well.

I don't play games so I don't know if I have #1 or not.

#4 is unlikely to be the router because it can happen when there are about 5 feet of air between the router & tablet, while other wi-fi devices on a different floor at the opposite end of the house are connecting fine.

I'm running with the following config:

Keyboard dock attached

R1 with patch and Asus Apps 2.0

Data2SD

F2FS

Has anyone had luck with the Samsung micro sd cards for ROM2SD I was thinking of getting the evo 32gb here http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Class-Adapter-MB-MP32DA-AM/dp/B00IVPU786/ref=lp_10424352011_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1417368754&sr=1-2 which it rated at Up to 48MB/s. Is this fine for ROM2SD with no lag, or do I need the pro http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IVPU6AU/ref=twister_B00IYOJD84?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 that is radted Up to 90MB/s Read& Up to 80MB/s Write.

Which card is best?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ntunix:
Hi! I have also been wanting to give the Evo a try but couldn't yet buy it locally! Tomorrow I'll try another store... I'm interested in the Evo mostly because the Sandisk Ultra has been rather disappointing (with no real gain in my opinion) and the Evo has received a rather good review here for random write rates:

http://www.storagereview.com/samsung_32gb_evo_microsd_memory_card_review_mbmp32d

So, I also would like to know if anyone here is using it...

EDIT:

I also found this review which makes the card seem promising... I doubt if higher speeds than this card offers are actually supported or worth it. But I'm quite desperate to give this tablet a good IO performance once and for all or ditch it for good!

[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
Walmart sells the evo, it is just not in the same place as the sandsisk cards.

The Lexar 633x sound very promising. Lexar is Micron's brand of sdcards, so they are made by a reputable manufacturer. I also found a review that says that they actually deliver the 95MB/s speed. http://www.legitreviews.com/lexar-microsdhc-uhs-i-633x-16gb-card-review_134645
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
Looking for an answer to a question I have not seen addressed in this thread. The setup is, you already have CROMBi-kk installed and have been using it for a while. All your apps are installed, setup and everything is running happily. You decide to try data2sd, so you purchase the required SD card and format the card with GParted with 2 partitions, 1x FAT32 and 1x larger EXT4. You flash your rom and select the data2sd option. Now here is the 64 dollar question. What happens to all your apps, settings and data on the internal partition? Does Aroma installer take care of moving a copy of all of that to the /data partition on the SD card? If not, what is the process of getting all of that moved to the SD card? I think I have an idea how one might go about doing this, but I would rather hear from someone who has done this exact process or one of the developers who knows the steps needed.

You guys that are discussing what speed SD card to purchase. According to sbdags instructions,

"Sandisk or Samsung Class 10 - SDHC/SDXC UHS-1 card with read speed of at least 20MB/S".

Has it been proven that you need a faster card? Does sbdags need to update the OP? What about UHS-1 cards with a 48MB/S rating? That is twice as fast as he recommends. Of course this begs the question, how fast is the internal ram rated?

Thanks, NT
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
OK, I followed the instructions, created the bootable USB with Gparted on it. Started Gparted and set up two partitions, fat32 and EXT4. However, sbdags instructions say the fat32 will be dev/sdc1 and the EXT4 will be dev/sdc2. Gparted named them ssd1 and ssd2. Is this going to cause a problem? I did not see anything in Gparted or sbdags instructions on how to get the partitions to be named sdc1 and 2.

Any help appreciated,

NT

Update: OK, nevermind on this question, I figured it out. I have several drives in this PC and the SD card is the "D" drive that Gparted finds. Duh!!! I will say that running Gparted off the USB drive is a bit on the slow side, so have patience when starting and exiting it.

[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
To move your data from internal to data2sd:

setup data2sd and dirty flash the rom as data2sd

boot to twrp and nandroid your /data partition

flash data2sd.zip

restore the nandroid of /data

Enjoy
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
That is what I was thinking I would have to do. Here is the question that comes to mind now, if after using this configuration for a while I'm not happy with it, do I need to nandroid the external data and then restore it back to the data partition on the internal card? Or does data on the internal sd card get updated in tandem with the external sd card data partition?

Thanks, NT
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
No, during normal operation the system uses only one data partition as /data. Changes you manually make to sdcadi (internal storage under data2sd) would be lost if you restore your external /data to internal.

When I try this on my F2FS /data partition I get

fstrim: FSTRIM: Not a typewriter

Does fstrim not work with F2FS? Even on F2FS I still have horrible lag after a while.

[Asus Transformer TF700] zabolots:
Best way to revert to stock?

What's the best way to revert to the stock Asus ROM? I have TWRP installed and am currently running on F2FS internal /data.

Do I just use TWRP to flash the Asus ROM image from their support site or is it more complicated than that?

Thanks...Scott
[Asus Transformer TF700] sparksd:
Correct - fstrim does not work with F2FS. I believe that F2FS auto trims.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
First question is why would you want to revert back to a stock a Asus Rom? Second question is didn't you make a backup of your stock install before changing anything?

NT
[Asus Transformer TF700] zabolots:
1) Because I am going to sell this tablet when my new one arrives

2) I did, but unfortunately I inadvertently deleted it. :crying:

Does anybody have an actual answer to my question?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I would advertise it on swappa with CROMi-X or CROMBi-KK installed! What a waste to ruin a perfectly fine running tabelt by putting the Asus stock rom on it [emoji33] [emoji33]

But to answer your question:

You would have to revert internal to ext4. TWRP > Wipe > Advanced > Format > change file system

That's also a great way to make sure all your data is off the tablet.

Download Asus firmware, extract it once and flash the extracted zip in TWRP.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nevertells2:
Didn't I read somewhere that if you extract it once and place it on the root of an SD card, reboot, and the tablet will auto-detect the file and offer to install it?

NT

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

That was the plan pal. I was going to suggest formatting data to remove all your apps, settings , etc, and then reinstalling your current Rom and leave it at that, as is what berndblb basically did. I was just trying to ascertain your intentions and a direction to point you in including restoring your backup. People sometimes forget about those.

NT

That's on stock with stock recovery. Doesn't work with custom recovery.

Not quite the answer, but an answer... most folks who buy these babies are into custom roms to a degree at least. Why not install the Crombi-X rom, which is pretty darn close to stock but a bit faster? My humble suggestion...

Weird issue on 0921 build of ROM

Last night I was having issues with my tablet, things running slow, stuff like that. I know that I'm going to have to re-flash the ROM pretty soon, which is fine, but I've never seen this before, and I haven't read of it, either.

I was trying to exit some apps to load up a game on the tablet, and eventually everything froze up and it went dark. I thought that maybe it was asleep, and just hadn't registered any of my recent commands... Eventually, it came back alive on its own, but brought me through the initial CM 11 setup, asking me if I wanted to sync with a CM account, asking for Time Zone info, WIFI choice, and Google account sync choices. All of my settings were still there, I didn't have to change anything, but it went through them all the same. I thought that maybe ROM updates were somehow getting pushed out automatically, but it still says that it's the build from 9/21. As far as I can tell, nothing is changed, no settings are lost, and everything is OK, but I figured I'd let you guys know in case you see it again, or if anyone has had this happen and knows what I may have done. No crisis here, just trying to help by reporting issues if they come up...

Thanks as always for a great ROM.

Power button, screen woes

After charging tablet all night, pressed power button, swiped to unlock and screen would come on then turn off. Only way to keep screen on was to keep it plugged in. Rebooted into TWRP, and tablet works fine and battery is charged. I did clean installs, wiping all daga on internal...still same behaviour. Screen does not want to stay on in any of the ROMs, only in recovery...guess something is going on with charging port. Docked tablet to keyboard and that doesnt work either. I guess next step is to take apart and check all connections. I enjoyed this tablet with the custom ROMs...hate to see it "die" on me. Any advice out there...anyone else experience anything similar.

Cheers
