I have an ASUS me301t. Was using the OmniRom 4.4 Nightlies (omni-4.4.2-20140531-me301t-NIGHTLY). The TWRP is version 2.6.3.1.

I unplugged the tablet normally, as I always do at night and the next day was looped in the ASUS logo.

I couldn't do anything else, he kept giving the message: unable to mount /system and /cache.

Choose the Format Data option (after having done the unmounts data partition) and was even worse. Now when I enter in TWRP appears a request for password???

I can cancel but I don't know what to do next.

If i choose Data Format again, appears the following:

Updating partition details…

E: Unable to mount '/system'

E: Unable to mount '/cache'

E: Unable to mount '/data'

Full SELinux support is present.

E: Unable to mount '/cache'

E: Unable to mount '/cache'

Formatting data using make_ext4fs function.

E: Unable to mount '/data'

E: Unable to recreate /data/media folder.

You may need to reboot recovery to be able to use /data again.

Updating partition details…

E: Unable to mount '/system'

E: Unable to mount '/cache'

E: Unable to mount '/data'

E: Unable to mount internal storage

My device is unlocked and i have fastboot on my PC, the tablet is recognized, but I don't know what to do

I see the message: You may need to reboot recovery to be able to use /data again.

I am trying to use the recovery.img from this topic but after the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img i get the fowling info:

sending 'recovery' <7048 KB>...

OKAY [10.085s]

writing 'recovery'...

And then nothing happens, I have to turn off the tablet and gives a error message on the PC saying there are to many links....

What can i do to try to recovery my tablet???

Beste scanno,

Wat is nou het verschil tussen je twrp recovery toespitsen op omnirom of op cyanogenmod?

Zit daar nog verschil tussen in recovery's?

Alvast excuses voor mijn noob vraag ;)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
You seem to have some corrupted partitions. Using nvflash you can repartition and reformat the tablet internal storage. You could try using the latest TWRP version 2.7.1.x from another thread here. That version has the ability to format partitions. That is the only thing that I can think of that could help.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
Ik weet niet precies wat je net je vraag bedoeld. CyanogenMod heeft clockworkmod recovery en Omni gebruikt twrp. Het is meer een kwestie van smaak welke je wilt gebruiken. TWRP heeft een grafische / touchscreen georiënteerde interface, terwijl CWM meer een tekst georiënteerde interface gebruikt.

Als je OmniRom gebruikt en je wilt van de delta update mogelijkheid gebruik maken, dan heb je twrp nodig om de delta update te kunnen flashen.

Je kunt in principe zowel met CWM als met TWRP roms flashen. Probeer beide een keer uit en kijk welke het beste bevalt.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] jimbooo:
Ja, dat begrijp ik wel, maar in een andere thread waar ze aan twrp 2.7.1.0 bezig zijn daar had jij ook in gereageerd en daarin zegt die neoseeker dat hij die twrp heeft geoptimaliseerd voor Cyanogenmod 11. Daarom is mijn vraag: wat is het verschil tussen jullie custom twrp recovery's?

Thank you for your reply

The TWRP you are talking about is from this post? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2761757 ?

I tried to do this: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

and this: fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img

and unfortunately does not work. Is more than 20 minutes with this message (writing 'recovery'...) and and the show this:

FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))

Starting from the beginning that it is that TWRP that you've been talking about, is there anything else that I can try? AND how do I use the nvflash? Thank you in advance for any help that you can give.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
Ah yes... Well what is happening is correct... The recovery is expecting a TF300T rom, but the rom you are flashing identifies itself as a ROM for the me301t.

The reason why the Omni me301t rom is working is because it identifies itself as a ROM for the me301t and tf300t. But cromi does not do that. It only identifies itself as me301t.

The TWRP problem is easy to solve but my TWRP builds are somehow not working so I cannot make a new twrp build.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] peppethustra:
Anyway, if someone wants to temporarily solve the problem:

Open the ROM's zip you want to flash, go under META-INF/com/google/android, copy the updater-script in another folder, then open this file as a text file, delete the following lines in updater script:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "me301t" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "me301t" || abort("This package is for \"me301t\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\"."););

and save the file..at this point, replace the original file with the one you modified, and the problem should vanish :)

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] gd6noob:
I downloaded the lastest firmware from Asus site...

I followed http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/guides-tips-tricks/35719-guide-how-manually-update-restore-firmware-tf700-tf300-tf101-possibly-tf201.html

1. Download the latest version of Android for your tablet. Make sure you download the correct SKU version.

A. Go into settings, About tablet, and look for your Build Number, There are two letters (such as US,WW, TW, etc.) that is your SKU. When downloading the zip from ASUS', you must download the correct SKU zip.

2. Decompress downloaded .zip file (it will be another .zip)

3. Make sure your Micro SDcard is formatted Fat32. Then put the zip file in the root of the Micro SDcard. Leave name as is.

4. A pop-up should show up in the notification window telling you there is an update and if you would like to perform the update.

5. If the pop-up does not show up, then try rebooting your device. If it still does not show up, try performing a cold boot.

6. Allow the tablet 5-10 minutes to perform the update.

but no popup asking me to install update...
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Drahric:

1 are you using a custom rom?

2 do you use custom recovery?

Now, when I boot, tablet get stuck on ASUS logo and spining circle.

By olding VOL - / PWR for few seconds, I can entire a different screen.

This is what I can read :

Key driver not found.. Booting OS

Starting Fastboot USB download protocol

plus 3 icons : RCK / Android / WIPE DATA

So I have try to download TWRP-TF300T-2_7_0_0.zip and copy it onto microSD (fat32) card then use RCK to install it but get the bugdroid with red warning sign :(

This is not how to boot onto recovery mode ? If not how can I boot in this mode ?

Thanks.

You cannot flash a custom recovery (TWRP, CWM, or PhilZ Touch) zip file with a stock recovery. You need to use a blob file with Fastboot via a PC.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] shawnbrennan55:
No. You need to download the bootloader unlock app from the Asus website.

BTW..."wipe data/factory reset" from the stock bootloader menu may solve your problem. It should get you back to a fresh stock ROM.

Just use wipe data option, everything was OK, tablet reboot but still stuck on ASUS logo with circling points for 7 minutes now :(

About TWRP 2.8.0.0 (as zip file) can I update via current ercovery (2.7.1.0) without problems?

Please also update the fitrst post with the info about new TWRP version.

On teamWin site it's available TWRP 2.8.0.1 for TF300t as .blob file

Can someone prepare a zip installer update package?

Thanks.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] scanno:
Yes you can flash it in 2.7.0.1 without any problems.

The blob file is just the plain recovery image in the format needed for the bootloader to flash it from the staging partition. It us the same format as the recovery image in my zip file.

I have seen the zip file on the website. As the omnirom device tree is also used by teamwin and the fact that MTP is also not included in this recovery, I think my recovery and the one from the website are build from the same sources.

I have seen that the tf700t device tree on the github of teamwin has changed to enable MTP and the keyboard. Will try these changes for Tf300T to see if i can get MTP and the keyboard working

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] walttheboss:
The answer is on Omnis website. For some strange reason they do not have root included in their builds. But there is an easy way to put a file somewhere, change a setting and then it will have root everytime you flash a new omni build. I would send the link but Omni's website loads terribly from China where I live. The directions are pretty clear on the site.

So I have a completly stock TF300T with a software build number of JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.27.5-20130902

I have not unlocked the bootloader, if I read it correctly the ASUS bootloader app only works on JB. Maybe this one is already unloced from factory OTA???

I have rooted and put custom recovery, flashed roms etc...on Galaxy S3 and LG G3 but this device is brand new to me and I don't want to mess anything up. (It's actually my wifes.. :) I always feel much better after I get TWRP on a device with a full backup...but getting there is sometimes nail bitting for me...

What should my first step be and fairly noob instructions on how to do it? Thanks so much!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] shawnbrennan55:
You have the most up-to-date bootloader already. I unlocked the bootloader with the ASUS app while on stock JB; not positive if that is a requirement. You can find a current .blob TWRP version here (http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/97) and use Fastboot to flash it (fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery filename.blob). Once you get that going you can go to post #2 for an up-to-date F2FS compatible .zip TWRP version that can be flashed from recovery if you would like to convert to F2FS. I recommend PAC for a 4.4.4 ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2501869) with the Geass kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2625580) and KatKiss 5.0 for a 5.0.1 ROM (http://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf300t/development/rom-t2932783) with the included Katkernel.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] tcoursey:
Perfect, I think I can handle that. Only thing I'm not following is the F2FS convert to option? What does that acronym mean? and what does it allow that is different? I must be numb...I don't see what your talking about when you reference post #2...sorry.

Thanks again.

(((EDIT)))

It looks like this is the meaning of F2FS:

TF300T: Auto detect if /data is f2fs

(Meaning that you do not need to flash a separate kernel anymore if you use F2FS)

So like my G3 one ZIP ROM includes all I need when I flash, I guess?!?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] shawnbrennan55:
F2FS = Flash-Friendly File System (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/F2FS). It's an alternative to the standard ext4 file format which is supposed to be faster. So, you re-format the data partition to F2FS, using an F2FS compatible recovery, then flash an F2FS compatible kernel. Not required, but it does seem to help the TF300T. The latest .zip files are located on post #2 of this thread.

For others like me that were brand new to doing anything with this tablet I wanted to share my experience. I have/had a completly stock tf300t device. With OTA 4.2 JB on it. I tried to flash the TWRP.blob file I downloaded for this device through adb and fastboot. This showed success but when I tried to boot into recovery I got the android exclimation point. I had to unlock the bootloader by downloading the bootloader unlock app from Asus. When in this app It wouldn't take my password which I know was correct. I had an email from Google stating unauthorized access...something. I turned off the extra security meassures in Google for a moment. The unlock app took my password and rebooted. Now shows bootloader unlocked when I boot up. This was a good sign I thought. I then re-flashed via fastboot the twrp.blob file and was able to get into TWRP recovery. We are now making a backup of the device and will report back after testing/flashing some new roms to bring new life to the device!
