Hi All,

Thank you guys for all the GREAT work you're doing here and for your support.

I'm now running my TF201 with latest Crombi-kk R1 and TWRP 2.7.1.0 and ASUS apps 2.1+ from Kansasboy, coming from stock 4.1.1 (locked bootloader & unrooted).

Would a newer TWRP version be necessary? Which one?

My old Transformer Prime feels different...in a better way ;)

Tough, few things:

1. My camera doesn't work. Is there any way to get it working?

2. I also get those flickering/ blinking issue from time to time

3. When plugged in (docked or not), pressing the power button won't wake up the tablet - which needs to be forced shut down after this.

4. very slow transfer from PC to Tablet (internal storage or Ext Sd Card)

..and few other minor app crashes..

Do you have any suggestions regarding these?

Thank you!

I'm starting from stock on a TF201 except I've unlocked the bootloader and rooted the tablet. I've also installed SU and several root enabled apps like Greenify, Titanium Backup, etc.

Q1: Do need to uninstall SU before proceeding?

The step after flashing the HarryBean BL directs not to install SU, so this is why I ask this question. I'm not interested in bricking my TF!

Q2: Is it advisable to make nvFlash blob backups before proceeding with the upgrade to CROMBi-kk?

I was planning on creating nvFlash blobs per Matt Hill's Blog as a precaution before flashing CROMBi-kk, however I became concerned about altering my more or less stock TF with the Flatline BL. In particular I was unsure how to proceed if I was starting the upgrade with Flatline, so I have left the stock BL installed, though unlocked.

I have read and re-read the first 20 and last 12 pages of this thread along with several associated threads. I'm familiar with flashing recoveries (CWM) and ROMs with a Viewsonic G Tablet, the OG Droid, Nook Color and HD+. Nonetheless, I take as a valid precaution the warning from a post that indicated the TF201 is easy to brick!

Thanks for any advice.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
No - it doesn't matter - everything is getting replaced anyway and you won't be wanting to boot into your existing OS again once you have started your upgrade! I think the reason Josh included that direction was because that TWRP might make an offer to install it.

Best advice would always be to get those backups made and stored safely away before doing any serious flashing. The Flatline process doesn't move you away from the stock bootloader. They just replace it with another stock version which has been tweaked to allow Nvflash to work its magic. It's actually BL version 10.4.2.15 but it's still android 4.1.1 . It also leaves you with a clunky old version of CWM recovery - but that's fine as it's been made 4.1 compatible.

You will be replacing all this stuff anyway as soon as you start following the upgrade instructions :good:.

Camera not working

I'm still not able to have my camera working, after struggled and read lots of posts here.

I did a dirty flash (wiped dalvik cache & cache) with TF201 and once again with TF300... Still not working... :crying:

Also, after a normal reboot, i get some crushes: "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped", "Unfortunately, Apex launcher has stopped" etc..

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
Well a clean install is always a good thing...

If your cam is not working this is most likely an issue with the hardware not the software .....

You need to do a clean install and choose TF201T as your device in aroma ....

Thx Josh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mariusp9:
Thank you Josh, I'll do that.

Is there any way to switch the camera (front/back) in this point, in order to verify if it's an hardware issue? ('cause I guess it's hard to believe i have both cameras broken - at least front camera was 100% working 1 week ago in 4.1.1 and JB 4.2.1).

Thanks again!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
Well take a logcat after the cam app crashes ...

Thx Josh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mariusp9:
Did a clean install (wiped everything) and flash the ROM as TF201.

Cam still not working.

Not able to attach the logcat.txt file here, since I'm a member with < 10 posts, nor via PM, or dropbox link:rolleyes:.

Sent it via your yahoo email address (sorry for this but was the only options came in my mind at this moment).

I also took a look into the logs and seems to be some hardware issue, as you previous said, right? Please confirm.

I'm coming back to my previous question: is there any way to switch/force the cam app to start with the other cam? It's about the front camera (used mostly for Skype).

Thanks

x axis issue

i have tried crombi-kk and cm11 roms with a number of reverse axis zips for different kernels, even a nvram install. but no luck in kit kat yet. i have reloaded hairybean 2.31, which of course has the x axis fix as an install choice.

i hope i will be able to find a solution soon. i will post it a soon as i can.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wahaha123:
guys so i have not been using my tranformer prime for almost a year now and that time it was on paranoid android. now i thought that i should try crombi. well now i feel like a newbie on this but i have flashed latest hairybean on the prime. i checked the instructions and i didnt get it so i tried flashing the rom (sorry if what i did was wrong,) using wooks recovery and after installing it just shows four linux penguins then 3 scriptlines then goes back to wook recovery. am i supposed to flash something else before the rom? because thats the only thing i saw downloadable. sorry if im a total noob but please consider helping me D: oh is this only flashable via adb?

Boot into the bootloader screen, is there a usb icon ?

On the same screen in the upper left what is the bootloader version ?

Thx Josh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JuraP:
Androwook's Hairybean was running fine? If so you should be on the right bootloader version... what is that anyway? As Josh said - with Power + Vol - you boot into bootloader screen and the version is in the right upper corner. Shouldn't you (maybe?) flash another (more recent) recovery prior installing Crombi? ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BiggJurk:
I have the same issue as Wahaha going on. I'm on the correct boot loader and Hairybean Recovery it seems like after I go through the install options and reboots it loads that blue bar really quickly so I don't think it's installing anything
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
What are you flashing that goes to the blue bar ?

The ROM ? You can flash the ROM on the Hairybean recovery .....

DId you read post 4 ?

Thx Josh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BiggJurk:
Yeah I used the link from a few pages back and updated my recovery and now its booting. Please ignore my noobness I was trying to read and flash while dealing with a pregnant gf it wasn't working.

Flashed as TF201 so the camera(s?) would work. The upgrade instructions were great, as was the installer. Nice work, and happy holidays. :good:

Newbie issues with TWRP

Hi Everyone., newbie here. Not only to the forum, but also to modifying my TF201. I was too afraid to dip my toes in the pool before because I did not want to brick it. But on stock 4.1.1 it had gotten so slow and annoying, I decided it would be more useful as a brick than as a tablet anyway, so here I am. I got it updated to AndroWook Prime HairyBean v2.3.1 and that was a VERY nice update. But then I got greedy for the KitKat update too. That is where I made my mistake.

The specs at the top of this thread say, "YOU MUST BE ON THE HAIRYBEAN 2.31 JB 4.2.1 BOOTLOADER VERSION 10.6.1.27.1 AND TWRP 2.6.3.1." I figured I already had the right Hairybean, but my TWRP was 2.5.0.0. So I'd just go to the TWRP project and get the newest TWRP that was right for TF201 and Jellybean, and flash that. Very bad idea. :o Nothing mounts in my new TWRP which is 2.6.3.0, since you are supposed to stick with the custom TWRP that goes with your custom ROM. It is asking me for a password when I didn't set one, and insisting that I have no OS and am not rooted when in fact I have both of those things. Ugh.

I found a post by flumpster helping someone else who had done the same thing, so I think I can get myself back in working order on AndroWook and its custom TWRP. I will try after work.

However, assuming I can build up my nerve again, I am flummoxed on how I will get my device in a position to try KitKat. Do I have to roll back AndroWook Hairybean somehow, and install some OTHER Hairybean version as described in Post #4 of this thread? If that is correct, could someone please give me a pointer or a link on how to roll back?

Thanks very much for your time in reading this and (if you can) posting some ideas for me.

Build TF201 kernel from source

Hi guys,

I have a dynamic patch for TF201 reverse x-axis kernel patch (ie, will work on reverse axis devices and normal devices with the same kernel), but I need to be able to build the kernel from source so I can test it.

From what I can see, the kernel source posted on github is for the tf700, so the tf201 .config options would be different. Is there a patch or archive that is being used to build the kernels for the TF201 for this ROM ?

Once I have the working kernel, I'll post the latest patch, so it can be included in the ROM by default.

Cheers,

Damien

I had a few questions.

- in the OP it says there is a "20140906" version but when I click downloads it onlys 2 GrimLock versions from Aug. & a upgrade from prime 201 to tf300 (it won't flash but is that for)? Where is the most current ROM listed. Is it the GrimLock from August ?

- I'm on TWRP 2.8. it won't flash this rom. I was able to do this before but I can't remember where I found a twrp "ZIP" higher than 2.6.3 but lower than 2.8. I was originally on TWRP 2.4.3.0. My steps were I Flashed Hairy Bean Upgrade 4.2.1 that included TWRP 2.4.4.0 (I think), then Flashed Hairy Bean upgrade that included TWRP 2.5 then flashed "_custom_TWRP_JB_KK_V2.8_Stable_Tf300t-signed.zip". My bootloader says "ww_epad-10.6.1.27.1-20130711' a03. Hope this info helps

Thanks in advance

I will repost what I wrote in [Q] section for those who had problems like me.

Did anyone solved this problem? I have Win 7 64-bit and have been following a thread on installing Crombi-KK

After adb push HairyBean_Bootloader_TWRP2.5.zip /sdcard, Hairybean TWRP was installed and now i need to boot into fastboot

but adb is no longer working.

I tried reinstalling drivers for TF201 but no adb access.

update1:

Ok. I managed to solve the first problem with no ADB access. In recovery I clicked to Reboot, and clicked System. While system was rebooting I was holding Power Down and got into fastboot mode. I lost ADB access but apparently still have fastboot access so I have proceeded with the instructions to flash blob

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery ne0zone75_tf300t.blob, then

fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot-bootloader

In recovery the instructions say format next, so now I am currently formatting, so I will update everyone who need this.

I still don't know why I lost ADB access which I had. Some people here suggested ubuntu but I don't have it.

After formatting I will need ADB to push crombi to device, but I twrp recognizes SD card so if I don't get ADB access after formating I will

try to copy crombi-kk to SD card and then flash it from recovery. I will write what happened when formatting is done.

update2:

After format which took 30 minutes I suddenly have ADB access. Wtf??? Anyway I pushed crombi-kk zip on the tablet and flash it. After 5 minutes of flashing everything working great. Will send a donation. Tablet with stock 4.1.1 was slow 4.4 is great. Thanks everyone who made it possible.

Updated to ROM, now battery won't charge

Hello:

I updated my Transformer Prime TF201 yesterday using the instructions and files at the beginning of the post. I also installed the Asus apps from the provided link. I had the tablet plugged into the charger during the update, as the battery was low from all my time messing with Fastboot and ADB. In recovery, the battery charged.

I used it a bit last night and then closed to the dock and went to bed. The level was at 95%. When I got up this morning, the level was down to 45% (!!!). :( :( :(

I used it for awhile, as I am still in the process of setting it up how I like it. Then, I plugged it in to charge.That was 4 hours ago. I just happened to open it and the battery level was still at 45%.

The ASUS battery indicator widget is not showing charging status. Neither is the battery area in System Settings. How can I get the device to charge again? I know it's not the hardware, because it was working perfectly all through the update and it's charging now while I'm booted into Recovery.

Can someone give me some ideas on how to fix this issue? I really like the ROM, but I can't be booting into recovery mode every time I need to charge it.

Thanks for any help!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TacoNikky:
I don't know the reason of "not charging" situation but you can plug charger and turn your tablet off. It will charge while tablet is off. This way works even you don't have asus original charger ;)

Now the battery is dead

So, I had left the tablet in Recovery charging last night, because it was already down to 63%. Just opened it up, and the screen would not come on. Tried pushing the power button, and there was no response. Took it off the dock, and plugged the charging cable just into the tablet. Now when I push the power button, I see a graphic of a battery with red on the right side and then it goes off. There is no light flashing on the power button indicating that it is charging.

I find it odd that booting into recovery worked before and now it seems to have killed it. This is very odd behavior and I don't understand it at all. None of my rooted phones ever gave me this type of issue.

So, is my tablet dead?

**UPDATE**

Leaving the tablet undocked and plugged in resulted in enough of a charge to boot back into recovery. Apparently, the tablet is not charging through the dock. Tablet is charging now, but only at 15%. So, it won't be until later in the day that I can re-install. Good to know it's not dead. Have other people had issues with using the dock to charge, or is it still because of the Asus Apps?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SoTacMatt:
Did you try charging without the keyboard? Just plug into the tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mikec5867:
**UPDATE after Re-installation**

I waited until the tablet was fully charged, then did a full wipe/format of all areas. I then re-installed the ROM and as per instructions, did not install the Asus default apps. The installation went forward with no errors and the system re-booted into the ROM when finished. I used it for a couple of hours and the battery ended up down to 50%. I was not too concerned as it was on continuously and I was re-downloading my favorite apps. When I went to plug it in, I tried with it connected to the dock first. No luck.

Then, I disconnected from the dock and just plugged in to the tablet directly. No response from the tablet as to it being in charging status. I had to re-boot into recovery again to get it to charge. Is there anything else I could try to resolve this issue?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] underskyzx:
I have to say, if it works (installing right now), it's the best installation procedure I've seen in this forum and I've downloaded many for Xperia U, Moto G and Nexus 4, no one was this intuitive, great job on the aroma installer and for letting us personalize what we want to install.

Fine work! (can't wait to boot into KK!).

Using this ROM currently and going to flash and play around with it and others. Keep coming back to this one.

My only complaint is it is a little slow to respond and laggy.

What are the best options to use (without over clocking) in the installer for performance.

I think I selected the one for data safety when I was using it for typing before but that is less needed now.

Camera Problems on sdback standard installation

First of all , let me thank you for the state-of-the-art ROM that has blown new life into my old good TF201. KUDOS !!!!

Everything is running smoothly except for one detail: the camera

Whenever I run the camera app, it shows a green screen and than FCs. I know for sure it is not a hardware problem as it was working flawlessly before the flash, it MUST be either the ROM or the kernel.

Has any of you checked if the problem persisted after trying different kernels? I know I could give a trial-error treatment but if I want to get back to original sdback kernel, where is the .zip just for that very kernel (or should I reflash the whole ROM)?

Another question, if I wanted to update just CM mod, can it be done using their nightlies?

Hope to hear from you guys soon
