[Asus Transformer TF701] HippoMan:
Thank you very much. I'll flash again in a little while and double-check that I have sig verifiation turned on, and I will supply the logs.

However, I forgot which directory will contain those log files? Maybe /tmp/recovery.log or /cache/recovery.log?

And even when I have the pathname, I forgot how to get the logs off the device, since I can't boot up into the OS and use adb.

Could someone help refresh my memory? Thanks.

---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

I redownloaded and then reflashed with sig verification turned on. This verification passed. However, I ended up with the same problem.

Once I figure out how to get recovery.log off of the device, I'll do so and post it.

In the mean time, I'm wondering about something: why would a process called com.android.google.phone be crashing, given that there is no phone on the TF701T? Or is the "phone" part of the name of that process simply a minsomer?

.​
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
com.android.google.phone is part of the google framework apps. All devices have it. If you disable it then some parts of the google play store stop working and some other stuff force closes.

I get this once on the very first boot but then it clears on all the next reboot.

The recovery.log is stored in /tmp

you should be able to

adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

to get it.

The other log is stored in the same location you flashed the rom from.
[Asus Transformer TF701] HippoMan:
Thank you very much.

As for downloading the logs: I know about "adb pull", but the error I'm getting prevents the OS from starting up beyond the "Welcome" screen. Debugging is not turned on at the point I get this error, and there is no way I can go into Settings and enable it, so that I could perform the "adb pull". Likewise, "adb pull" does not work when the device is in recovery mode.

So, I don't know how to download any pertinent logs.

To be clear: the dialog box about com.google.android.phone keeps returning immediately after I dismiss it, and it's "modal" and prevents all other interaction with the OS. This is at the point of the "Welcome" screen showing up. The constantly returning dialog box keeps me from progressing beyond that point.

[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
And you're definitely on the correct bootloader? After a full /data wipe?

You need to update the crappy adb drivers - try these:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407571010
[Asus Transformer TF701] HippoMan:
Thank you very much.

Yes. Full wipe each time, and I'm on the 6.0.5.1 recovery and the WW_epad-11.4.1.29-20141218 bootloader.

I'll install those adb drivers. I assume that they are supposed to enable "adb pull" and other adb actions from within recovery, correct?

I'll probably not get to this until tonight or tomorow. I'll report my findings.

[Asus Transformer TF701] GrouchyPunisher:
HippoMan,

Which kernel did you choose? I had this same exact problem a while back, and the only thing that fixed it was using the Modified stock kernel. (I can't remember if that's the default or not, but may want to try that if you didn't choose it already.)
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
What zip is that????

You do not flash adb to the tablet.

You do not flash drivers to the tablet.

I think you tried to flash a package that is meant for installing adb on you computer
[Asus Transformer TF701] HippoMan:
Oh, yes, you're right. sdbags suggested that I install those drivers because I was having trouble using adb in recovery mode, and I mistakenly thought they should be flashed onto the device. But now I see that they are just a bunch of Windows DLL's. They don't do me any good, anyway, because I don't use Windows at all ... only Linux.

For some reason, adb started working again for me in recovery mode. I have no idea why it wasn't working before nor why it's working now. Perhaps that "enhanced" kernel which kept me from booting into the OS was also interfering with adb in recovery mode.

In any case, everything is working fine now that I'm using the modded stock kernel.

[Asus Transformer TF701] Revhead:
Why the orange light all the time?

Tablet has started getting quite hot when I leave it to charge overnight.

The orange power light stays on for a few minutes even after I turn it off and unplug it?

WTF?

What's causing the heat build up, does anyone have any idea???
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Is this docked or undocked?

My dock battery died and it did this just before it went.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Revhead:
Docked.

Turned it off last night and left it charging.

This morning it is hot, the light is green and it has turned itself back on again?

I unplugged it, turned it off again and it cooled down straight away?

Wierd behaviour . . .
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Don't let the dock charge unsupervised. sbdags' almost went up in flames before the battery died completely.

That it turns itself on when you connect it to power is normal. All Transformers do it.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Yes as Bernd says this happened to mine. It got very hot and then the battery died. It then sporadically showed a working battery and the dock continued to work fine thereafter but the batter circuit was dead.

Boldnuts bought it off me from here but never got it to work either. I think he said one of the cables had burnt out when he opened it up to look at it.
[Asus Transformer TF701] boldnuts:
Yep that's right the cable seems to have been nipped between the inner hinge mech shorting out the battery , you can get replacement,s though from here

http://www.asusparts.eu/en/partfinder/Asus/Pad/Transformer Pad/TF701T#PCB

I have changed both the docks and the tablets connecter which sorted things out for me
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Beta 4 will be up later today - rebuilt from the .29 source and updated a lot of apps which should fix most fcs.

If that goes well then I can focus on the .30 source although the only difference seems to be for Russian language.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Beta 4 Released!

Test this one out for me guys. The only known issue I have is that after the first install the app store crashes if you try to display your apps. After a single reboot that goes away. Other wise it is running really well and very smooth!! :D

[Asus Transformer TF701] issawillwin:
Hello [MENTION=1784706]sdba[/MENTION]gs , i was looking for the Asus Backup app of 4.3 Stock. I thought you ported it to your CROMi-X ROM. So i downloaded your last beta build to extract the Backup .apk to instal it on my non rooted TF701. But i can't find the apk in your zip. Could you give me some informations please?

Thanks a lot !
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Yes it doesn't work as Asus removed the required elements from the framework. I haven't figured out all the dependencies yet. It is unlikely to be ported.
[Asus Transformer TF701] issawillwin:
thank's a lot for answering !
[Asus Transformer TF701] issawillwin:
Sorry to ask an idiot question but do we need to flash gapps and supersu ? Didn't see that in OP.
[Asus Transformer TF701] GrouchyPunisher:
Finally got around to flashing this today. Looks good to me! :good:

Thanks again.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
No that is done for you ;)
[Asus Transformer TF701] Hagarbau:
No problems with B4 here :) smooth

BTW: Has anyone tried pershoot's CM12 ? How is the performance compared to CROMI ?
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Yes I am very happy with this. I'll probably tidy it up a bit this week. Throw in a few surprises and call it 7.1 :)

I haven't tried CM12 yet - far too early yet but CM11 was never as quick as the stock based roms for me.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Neccie:
I've been using CM12 for a little while now and from my experience: CROMi-X from sdbags or stock ASUS is snappier then CM12 from pershoot.

Other then that it's running fine a bit slower but it fixed some issues that I had so sticking with it for now.
[Asus Transformer TF701] JoshReuben:
I like them both. Personally, am getting better battery and stability on cm12 than I did with 4.4.x, but I'm a big fan of both developers.

after 7.1b4 install, i lost root
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
How?
[Asus Transformer TF701] bronisb:
I have had 7.02WW and CWM 6.0.5.0 installed. It was happen after dirty install, only with cache and dalvik cleaning. Checked with root checker, root was gone.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Are you sure it has gone? Mine is working fine.

Open the SuperUser app and check there. It is possible that root checker is old now and doesn't understand the new permissions selinux enforces.
[Asus Transformer TF701] bronisb:
I will try once more, after back to 7.02 from backup all is ok. I will try with full wipe...

Checked with superSU - binary was gone. Tried to update superSU - without succes.

After full wipe and fresh install all OK, i have root and update binary. Thanks for your quick reaction and answer. You are the best.:good:

I just clean installed b4 again and still the stock browser is acting up. Sometimes when clicking a link it just keeps reloading that new page ad nauseum.

Forces me to use Chrome which makes me very unhappy :crying:
[Asus Transformer TF701] Danforth:
It's probably been quiet because this build is working so well!

I don't think I've noticed that problem with the stock browser -- but then I've mainly been using Dolphin.

ok, its very quiet, but I have to mention a little problem, sorry ! ;)

Using ths App "Relay" wich is an app to read magazines, it suddenly close and restart. The app has never been very stable anyway.

What bothers me is that when it happens, I lose my wall paper. I tried with several wallpapers, it does'nt change, the problem is still there.

It didn't happens with the previous verion of this rom. (Which is really nice et fast :good: )

Any way to solved this ?

[Asus Transformer TF701] GrouchyPunisher:
Brightness?

Has anyone else noticed a difference in how low the screen brightness will go when you set it manually? I think this is something Asus probably changed, and I really noticed the difference between the 7.0.3 build and the current Beta.

I do a lot of reading at night and I would always crank the brightness down as far as it will go. But since the 7.1 Beta it's definitely brighter than before at it's lowest setting.

Failing anything that sbdags can do, can anyone recommend a good app to otherwise adjust the brightness? Thanks! :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Hmm I never noticed. I could try and bring the brightness levels over from 7.0.3 I suppose. Let me look into it.
[Asus Transformer TF701] AngryDinosaur:
I use an app call twilight, it can set screen color to a less eye hurting temperature and you can set screen dim even dimmer. try it out, perfect for using the device in the dark

[Asus Transformer TF701] norkle:
Haven't noticed brightness myself.

I have used screen filter on other devices for night reading. Now, Google Play Books allows you to adjust brightness lower than device otherwise would, so I just use that for reading books.

Hi!

I just bought a refurbished Asus TF701, and I wanted to unlock it to install this ROM.

Unfortunately, the unlocker tool doesn't work, as it keeps saying the familiar "unknown error" message... :(

Any suggestions about that? Shall I write them to add tablet data back to database?

Br,

Gabor
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
That's you best chance. If they exchanged the mainboard it's mac address and your tablet's serial number won't match what Asus has in their database. Good luck...

I have a question for the developers regarding TWRP and this device. I have heard that there is only maybe 4 megs for recovery to use in the TF701 (tegra 4 chip) and not enough for the TWRP libraries that are needed for TWRP touch. My question is this- can the libraries needed be compressed somewhere in a self exstracting file and a script be written into TWRP that would extract the libraries to the devices ram, or external sdcard and used by TWRP recovery for a touch mode?

[Asus Transformer TF701] Zeuszoos:
Hi! The instructions don't mention "dirty" Flashing, to go up from V6 to V7.03 and since that's what I'll be doing, I just want to make sure that I perform the correct steps (I know that you make no guarantees on using that method and that the risk is all mine).

Since I currently have V6 installed, it of course means that I already have it Unlocked. So I assume that I can just skip that step?

Assuming "Yes", then I am a bit confused about exactly what is in the file;

"US_Boot_CWM_6051" (partial name from memory) Zip file. It is the "BootLoader", which I will still need to use and CWM 6.0.5.1 right?

Again, assuming "Yes", this is a Zip that I would install through my current Recovery?

This is where it gets confusing. :)

The reason is, because there is also the CWM 6.0.5.0 Recovery. Do I need to install that first, using the method on that other "CWM 6.0.5.0" page that this thread references in the OP?

The other reason it gets confusing, is because it talks about a method one would use, if one did NOT yet have a Custom Recovery and Custom ROM installed. Like booting the tablet into "Download Mode", using the Factory Recovery, but I DO have both of those installed (CROMi-X V6 & the Custom Recovery in that thread).

So..... Could I use the current Custom Recovery, to "Install from Zip", to install the newer Recovery (CWM 6.0.5.0)?

And then once again, booting into CWM 6.0.5.0 this time, then use it to "Install from Zip", to install that "US_Boot_CWM_6051.zip" file referenced in the OP for THIS thread, to update the BootLoader & CWM up to 6.0.5.1 at the same time?

See what I mean? :) I just don't want to go ahead and try to update the CROMi-X ROM from V6 to V7.03 and end up wiping out my setup (I know a dirty flash could do that anyway, but if done right, it probably won't), ya know?

Would you please just give me the basic steps for how to proceed to do this? Of course, I'll write everything down and let you know how it goes. I have two identical tablets with your way cool V6 on them to do this on and so it would be really nice that if they did end up getting hosed anyway from doing the dirty flash, if it wasn't because of my own stupidity using the wrong steps or something, ya know? :)

Thank You Very Much! I really appreciate it!!!

V7 will cause me some extra work though, because I have 3 friends (they asked me what to buy) who have this tablet and want to go to KitKat on it and take a wild guess who they'll be begging to upgrade theirs to a Custom ROM, once they find out that you now have a KitKat ROM out (they know I run your JB ROM, but wanted to wait for KK)! <lol>

I will look forward to your reply! :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Take a nandroid backup in your current CWM before you start - that way if anything goes wrong you can go back to CROMi-X 6.1. My feeling is that although a dirty flash will *probably* work you may have lots of little issues that build up as you use 7 that mean you are better off doing a clean wipe first. Remember you can also use Titanium Backup to backup your apps and then restore them once on 7. ;) Just don't restore any apps listed as system apps.

Instructions for upgrade:

Flash the recovery and bootloader package zip from your current recovery and reboot once it finishes to actually let it flash the bootloader and recovery partitions.

Reboot back to your new CWM

Flash the ROM zip, choose options and reboot

Profit :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
I agree about the Titanium backup manual etc. I just used trial and error to figure out what i need. For a simple just back up all my apps. On the main screen in in the top right there is a icon of a sheet with a check mark on it. Click that, it opens the screen with all of the Batch operations. Then I think it is the 3rd one down, Backup all user apps. Push the Run, it opens a screen listing all your apps. By default they will all be checked. You can go through and uncheck anything that you don't want and then click the check mark in the top right corner That's it now you have a backup.

To put all back, scroll down a little and you will see Restore missing apps with data. When you click run for this it opens the same list as before, go through and uncheck anything that you don't want and click the check mark at the top right.

Thats it. The issue with not having the paid version is that you need to click yes to confirm every app as it restores, so with 400 apps it is going to take a while.

As for your home screen it will depend on which launcher that you use. If you use something like Nova, it has it's own back up built in and when you install it for the first time it will "restore" (try to copy) your current home screen. If you use the default home screen sometimes you can restore the layout sometimes you can't. For example if you are using the Google Now Launcher/home screen/ what every they call it now. You can back that up and restore it however going from CROMi6 to 7 am not sure if there are changes in the back ground that would cause an issue.

Good luck
[Asus Transformer TF701] Zeuszoos:
WOW!!! Thanks, guy! After 4 years of not having a single clue of how to back up all if my apos and using TB as a way to "Freeze" apps (does it include frozen apps in the backup of "All User Apps"?) and scouring through the TB Manual and Web pages and posts and finally just giving up, you have explained it to me in a couple of paragraphs and walked me through it and made it so simple!

I now know how to back up all of my apps in like 3 steps!!! Heck, I'm running it right now! :)

Thank you so much, dude!!! I appreciate it so much! :)

You know, this does have to make you wonder though, what the heck is these peoples' problem though?! I.nn mean that they act so hostile, instead of just listing out these 3 Steps, or create a new thread with them and just point them to it, ya know? That's what I'm going to do, since thanks you, I know how to do it! :)

But this just cements what I have already said to you, about how so many people can be so mean about sharing a bit of knowledge! I don't mean to sound mean about it or anything, but seriously, it's like "3 Steps" that can be typed out in literally 2 minutes! So why all the fuss???

But anyway, I will be finishing up my backup and then if time permits, performing the ROM Update.

I'll let you know how it all goes and thank you once again, my friend! :)
