[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I unlocked my device since day 2 of purchase so I don't have any user experriences on rooted tools..:crying: However, some users reported that they were success with different versions depending on bootloader version. So you may want to try using with different Towelroot version and hope that your device can be rooted, good luck....:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Paradox52525:
Yeah, the device is already unlocked, I just can't actually do anything with the unlocked bootloader since every method of flashing a new recovery seems to require a USB connection to a PC at some point in the process. :(.

I think something is actually physically wrong with the charging/usb port on my wife's device. When charging, the screen continually turns on and off (and it makes the "ding" charger-connected sound) over and over, though it does successfully charge. Connecting via USB does not work at all though - the PC doesn't even play a usb device connected sound. I've tried multiple computers and several power cords (we have three - all from official Asus chargers and all of which work fine with my own TF700) and no luck. The device is well out of warranty at this point and probably not worth the money to fix if there is a hardware problem. If I could just get a decent ROM on it it would probably be fine and usable for at least a bit longer.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ntunix:
Do you have a dock? Does it work properly? Maybe you could try putting the tablet on the dock and trying fastboot with the dock attached...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Paradox52525:
Sadly I do not have a dock. I'll try different towelroot versions tonight (wife has the tablet at work right now) and see if I have any luck... I do see some fairly recent posts on other forums that towelroot works on the TF700, but v3 was definitely not getting the job done when I tried it last night.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Oh, I see....:) Did you try sbdags flashable zip for bootloader/twrp? What is your setup and want to achieve? Sounds like the cable fault with the ding sound...:confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Paradox52525:
How would I install a bootloader via flashable zip? The tablet is unlocked, but currently on the ASUS stock recovery. Is there a way to flash zips from the stock recovery?

Ultimately I want to get Crombi-KK on this tablet with ROM2SD/F2FS, which I know how to do once I have TWRP/custom recovery installed, but actually gettin a custom recovery on the device has been impossible so far without a working USB connection. ADB/Fastboot do not work obviously without a USB connection. I could flash a recovery via console or GooManager within the ROM if I had root access, but it seems like all the working methods for rooting the TF700 stock firmware also require a USB connection to a PC.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I am using fastboot/adb most of the time and never try installing custom recovery from the stock recovery, hmmm. Here is an idea, you may need to downgrade your bootloader to the older version like .8 or older so you can get root and use goo or other method. Did you try it before? If not, then you may want give it a try or wait for someone with a better method...:) Maybe, Josh, sbdags, and _that may know a way...:D Any custom ROM is running better than stock and please don't give up. It should be a way going around it, good luck...:fingers-crossed:

Edit: did you try Towelroot v1 or v2 yet? Like I said, some users were succeeded with different versions depending on their bootloader version.. Give it a try also..:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Paradox52525:
I'm going to try Towelroot v1 and v2 tonight (my wife has the tablet with her at work right now). I thought about trying to downgrade to older Asus firmware, but wasn't use if that was possible without a working custom recovery or adb. How does one go about reverting to an older version? Is it possible without a USB connection?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
First, I don't think that you can flash sbdags's flashable zip if you are on the stock recovery but you could give a try.

Second, if you have root on your device, you can use goo to install the custom recovery. Then you can reinstall sbdags zip to get the updated bootloader and twrp. Yes, it is a long shot but if you don't have access to your fastboot/adb, there is a minimum options for you...:crying: If you can borrow someone else cable and test on your unit, the cable may be the culprit. You really need fastboot/adb to work around if something is going wrong on your device...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Paradox52525:
I do not have root on the device - I haven't yet found a working root method for the stock firmware that doesn't also require a USB cable (I'm going to try Towelroot v1 and v2 later today, but v3 did not work). Unfortunately I'm very certain it's not the cable. I actually have three charging cables (all official Asus) and none of them work with my wife's tablet. All three cables work fine with my own tablet, so I'm pretty confident that the issue is with my wife's tablet and not the cables, PC, or drivers.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You must be on .10 bootloader version. I think that you still can root if you are on .8 version... Please report back how it is going, thanks...:)

Towelroot worked with my phone, tapped one button and done.

Framaroot

I will start by saying I have never personally used this program myself, but I have used similar universal root packages and just wanted to put this out there to try for you since the tab won't recognize on the PC. It's called Framaroot and here is the link. Let me know if it works for you please!

[Asus Transformer TF700] sziggins:
Hi,

I flashed the latest bootloader xx.10 with the latest TWRP. Then I had a working stock not rooted rom but not a working recovery (looked like CWM...). I couldn't either root it with towelroot. But I had a working fastboot mode via power + volume down. Then using sdbags's zip from windows i flashed the latest twrp. I think tried it twice. Then I had a working recovery. Format data to f2fs, flashed kk with aroma installler, and used a nandroid backup. After this, had my tf700 back with the latest bootloader. It would be wise to have the nvflash blobs extracted in a safe place too.

Sorry for no links or any further details, I am not on my PC. There are some drivers for having the nvflash blobs extracted but you need a usb cable to do it. What about a live linux cd to test the cable? Good luck...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Robbie_G:
I wiped and clean flashed 6-17, default dalvik enabled, screen still does not turn off when closing with keyboard, but will turn on when opened. This happening to anyone else?
[Asus Transformer TF700] tvig0r0us:
This is happening for me as well. I didn't catch it a couple of times and my tablet got alarmingly hot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bgtex:
I tried this but couldn't get by boot animation, let it run for 60 minutes.

Had to restore my Cromi-X 54 nandroid, still able to run KK rom2sd.

After I flashed rom2sd1.zip and made a nandroid I booted back to TWRP I restored that backup then I removed the SD card and rebooted system.

Was that wrong? Should I have left SD card in?

I thought if I left the SD card in it would boot to Cromi-kk on the card, not internal.

I'm running Cromi-x 5.4 on internal / Cromi-KK rom2sd ext4 with TWRP 2.7.1.1.

I DID NOT WIPE anything???
[Asus Transformer TF700] Paradox52525:
Framaroot did not work.

I haven't been able to try Towerlroot v1 or v2 yet because I actually can't find them... geohot only has v3 on his site, and I cannot find the older apk files anywhere. Does anyone know where I could get them?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Paradox52525:
Success! I was finally able to find towelroot v1 and v2 on a certain pirate type site (a "bay" of sorts). v1 rooted the TF700 without issues. Once rooted I was able to install TWRP 2.7.1.1 via terminal emulator, and from there flashing Crombi-kk was easy. Thanks to everyone who provided suggestions and help.

So,speaking as someone with similar symptoms (GPS shows as disabled in GPS Status) what did you do to resolve it? Thx!

---------- Post added at 08:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 AM ----------

My experience as well. (Sorry, just catching up on this thread).

FWIW, I had problems getting fastboot with my tf700 and windows. Did a crazy driver dance - and eventually discovered that it matters which port you plug into in the win box. Ex win driver writer here. Yes, the different ports are addressed differently - driver's supposed to deal with that (or use an NDK layer that does it for you. Maybe they didn't?

So, given that you'd really ought to be able to get into adb/fastboot in case something goes wrong, maybe try some of the other USB ports?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Paradox52525:
Already tried unfortunately :). I've tried all three USB ports on the laptop I have set up for adb/fastboot using all three of our charging cables. I've rebooted the laptop and the tablet several times. I've also tried hooking it up to two different desktop PCs and one other laptop. In all cases, there is no response whatsoever when it's plugged in - not even a usb device connected noise from the PC. The tablet doesn't say anything in the notification area about being connected either. Neither devices seem to even recognize that something is plugged in at all.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Sounds like something is wrong with the device. Which kernel are you using?

Important Announcement

Last Tuesday my wife was diagnosed with cancer. It is the most aggressive type. She has already had surgery and the cancer is spreading. She starts intensive chemotherapy on Weds next week.

So if you don't see me around much - you know why :(

There are more important things in my life right now which take priority. I will still be supporting the team in the background when I can but I don't know how frequently that will be.

Thank you for all your great support so far and to my wife - I love you and am here to get you through this! :fingers-crossed:

Hey all - I'm getting a huge drain on battery, partial wakelocks, on SystemUpdateService (google play services) according to better battery stats - anyone else? I'm running a fairly new install of data2sd w/ f2fs. I changed my gps to 'device only' thinking that maybe it related to location services, but maybe someone else knows?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Yeah, it's the same problem across many devices and not just since yesterday - although their last update seems to have aggrevated it - again.

Turn off location services, disable ads in your Google account settings, sync only what you must.

The radical cure seems to be to disable Android device manager under Device Administrators and then disable Google Play Services altogether. I can do that on my tablet, but I use Maps - a lot - and on my phone I have to live with it....

On my TF700 it ran down the battery by 30% in 8 hours without me once touching the tablet!

Just fired up Tapatalk to ask the very same question. Only thing here is a shaky wifi.

PS: Hoping for the best, Darren.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sziggins:
Hi,

It seems that other devices have the same problem too after upgrading to latest "Google Play Services". Rather to disable it, go to Settings->Security->Device Administrators and uncheck "Android Device Manager". Then, Settings->Apps and uninstall the updates from "Google Play Services" and "Google Search".

It worked for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
What about just uninstalling the update?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sziggins:
I think you cannot unistall the mentioned updates without unchecking the "Android Device Manager". You can try it if you want and report back if succeed.

hello, wondering if i could get some help, been trying all day to fix this. i installed crombi this morning everything worked fine. decided to do the rom2sd, installed fine but lost root even when turned on in dev options. so was gonna do a clean wipe and redo it. ended up wiping everything, including my backups and installs, now i cant boot into android or install anything in twrp. been reading about adb push to get the files back on but i cant seem to get adb to pick up the device, currently have it at the twrp menu, pc doesnt read it as a adb device, but does read it as a fastboot device. any help would be appreciated, nerves are all shot from screwing up my gf's tab.

So are you saying that you cannot flash anything though twrp? If so and you still have fastboot you can reinstall twrp via fastboot.

[Asus Transformer TF700] hardslog:
No microSD?

You can flash roms via fastboot as well, but via a microsd would be a million times easier.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
adb push the file or sideload ......

Boot into twrp, you will have to have adb drivers if using Windows...

Then make sure the rom zip file is with fastboot.exe

Now on the homescreen of twrp, we will let it be there for now :D

Open a CMD window as admin on PC and type

adb devices

You should get an output like this

List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF	recovery

If you get this then push the rom zip like this

adb push nameoffile.zip /sdcard

FInd the file under install in twrp and flash it...

Let me know how that goes for you...

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] Zamik:
that is the current problem, adb isnt recognizing the tab, devices comes up blank. also i tried putting the files on my sd, but twrp wouldnt read it. it showed it was there but i cant mount it or access it.

One Week's Review

Just dropped in to say that this last week's use of the tablet has been a dream come true. There was never any good reason for hardware this good to be this sluggish. I still use Clean Master and Lagfix, but I think these are just "comforting assurance" at this point...though Clean Master's Booster button works still and it's an indispensable app regardless.

Battery consumption is up a bit, but that makes sense since I am actually using it as opposed to getting frustrated and putting it down for long periods of time.

CROMBi-KicKass!!

Hey folks - something weird since reinstalling yesterday - everytime the tablet restarts, it plays the 'melody' alarm until you try pulling down the notification drawer. Driving the family nuts.... and there's no alarm notification displayed nor alarms set. Checked to see if it was device manager trying to ring the tablet, but that ring is different.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
I ran data2sd then did a factory reset. I wasn't having any luck with running data2sd then formatting data with the F2FS twrp after formatting it the first time. I kept getting a 'fail'. Not sure if it's supposed to be that way or not with f2fs. So, it was a semi dirty install :p

This time, I'm running internal with f2fs and it seems quite well, no bizarre alarms and feels about the same as the extSD f2fs install as far as lag / smoothness goes. My guess is that my tab doesn't like fsync being off... or oc is randomly busting the data2sd install (not with an unexpected reboot / shutdown / ext4 nor f2fs). using sandisk uh-1 64gb card. So far, so good with the internal though, so at least in my case the internal f2fs seems pretty dang smooth compared to internal ext4 install. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

[Asus Transformer TF700] kansasboy001:
Cromix can not be installed on external. for dual boot (rom2sd) crombikk must be on internal with cromix on external. step 1: install cromix on internel, selecting the rom2sd compatibility mode. Flash that v10 kernel. Format a fast micro sd card folowing the instructions on the rom page for crombikk and instert it in to your tablet. Then simply install crombikk selecting rom2sd during install. When the micro sd card is in the tablet will boot to crombikk, when it is out it will boot to cromix.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes if you satisfy these 2 conditions:

1: You use TWRP 2.7.1.1

2: Only need for backing up and restoring inside TWRP - you flash the rom2sd1.zip or data2sd1.zip first so that TWRP switches to the external card partition first.

If the partitions are really in that order, it won't work. The *second* partition must be f2fs for external /data.
