Kudos & ext4

First post! Let me join the chorus of pleased TF101 owners; with this being my sole mobile device, it's awesome that I can enjoy the latest version of its OS while my device lasts. Being a follower of these threads, with belated thanks to Frederuco, whose guide allowed me to root my TF101 for the first time -no look back- I also hope sidneyk's work bear fruit and soon we can enjoy a kernel 3.x (and you can bring it to your excellent Lollipop).

I have just installed LP 5.1.0_r1 #21 following your instructions to the letter, just like previous releases; this time I did a full wipe/format/factory reset from sidneyk's TWRP 2.8.1.1: while previously I had your LP 5.0.2 I tried the fully clean install route before confirming an issue I observed since your first LP 5.0.0 release, and now I have no clue to what I'm doing wrong: until KK 4.4.4 I had my external SD card formatted in ext4; upon installing LP 5.0.0 for the first time I could not access my SD card. After several attempts I reformatted it as vfat and could use it again (sans files bigger than 4 GiB, of course).

The first time I acknowledged that your changelog did not include support for ext4 nor exFAT, so I was OK with it. When this support was included later I tried again to reformat my SD card, to no avail. This last time I did the full cleanup before installing 5.1.0_r1, no change in the situation.

In order to format my SD card I first followed your instructions to do so from post #2 (as part of the inverted storage instructions but I do not use inverted storage, just the external SD card formatting) and later I used the functionality built into TWRP 2.8.1.1. Either way my ext4-formatted SD card is not recognized and the same happens when I format it as exFAT: only the FAT (vfat) formatting works, which leaves big files out of the picture. I have not tried NTFS because I only have one SD card and NTFS cannot be used in TWRP (which is necessary in order to flash a new ROM).

I also tried to force mount the ext4/exFAT-formatted SD card using your K.A.T. application, only to get a "device busy" popup message on the screen.

I am certain I have followed all instructions to the letter: everything else works as expected (have not exercised enough the camera nor Bluetooth though, and I don't own a dock, Ethernet nor USB adapter; just me and my TF101). If you can point whatever step I have missed, or confirm the issue I will be grateful.

(P.S. Mine is a 32 GB SanDisk Class 4 card)

Timduru,

First, outstanding job w/ Katkiss. I have it on my sl101 and it works like a dream.

I just upgraded from 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 and wondered if you had a timeline on when the compatability pack for 5.1.0 would be ready to test? Thank you for all the hard work.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kuunkulta:
Just bought a second-hand TF101 as my first tablet and it's great to see it still has ongoing support here but I'm having trouble getting any custom ROMs working. As soon as I got my hands on the tablet I flashed TWRP 2.8.1 on it and attempted to flash the LP 5.1_021 ROM as well. I've managed to flash it successfully but no matter what I do, I get stuck in the boot animation. Either it freezes or reboots endlessly :(

I have tried flashing the ROM+SU+gapps; I have tried ROM+gapps; I have tried ROM+SU and of course I have tried only flashing the ROM. Every time same issue. Every time I've flashed it I have done full wipe and data format, I have also tried the factory reset. I have tried wiping, resetting and formatting in different orders but with same result. And yes, after every flash I wiped cache & dalvik before first boot. I've also re-downloaded the files to make sure there wasn't issue with my download but that didn't make any difference either.

At this point I have utterly ran out of ideas and couldn't find much help with the search either. Does anyone have any clue as to what might be the problem here? TF101 B70-series, if that matters
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoughMucker:
Have you unlocked your bootloader?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kuunkulta:
I'm actually not sure, I'm very new to these things and I barely know what a bootloader is. However I used the EasyFlasher SBK1 option to flash TWRP 2.2.1 BEFORE I flashed TWRP 2.8.1. I kinda assumed EasyFlash took care of the bootloader but maybe I should try run the SBK2 too and see if that helps

update: Running EasyFlasher SBK2 didn't change much. Flashed 5.1 ROM afterwards and same freezing/looping is the result. But at least I'm pretty sure it is unlocked
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoughMucker:
During boot, you'll see the Asus logo, your tablet should say "Bootloader Unlocked" in the top left corner. If that exists, then:

-make sure you have formatted your data partition.

-check your download md5 to make sure it downloaded correctly.

-make sure you've flashed the rom, update SU, and gapps (added in that order)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kuunkulta:
I don't have that text on normal boot; when booting to recovery there is text "Android WW_epad-user bootloader < e> released by "WW_epad-9.2.1.27-20120615"". I assume that means it still didn't unlock.

I tried running EasyFlasher again (definitely SBK1 device btw, at least one thing I'm certain of), Wheeler cmd prompt appeared to successfully run bootloader and nvflash but that's what it did the first time I ran it too and I still don't see any difference. So any tips what to do next?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoughMucker:
I think I mistook my TF101 for my TF300T...it's been so long. If my aging memory now serves me, the TF101 is already unlocked, so you should be good with that. I didn't use EasyFlasher so I don't see that bootloader message. Tips for what to do next are in the previous post.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kuunkulta:
Well glad I can forget the bootloader then, was getting a headache wondering what the problem was with that. But umm I am using TWRP 2.8.1 already. EasyFlasher flashed 2.3. originally so I flashed 2.8.1. myself. I actually have flashed the ROM exactly per your instructions 3-4 times now and I just can't past the boot animation (with the dog and the 4 flashing orbs). MD5 checks out, redownloaded everything to make sure anyways but I'm still stuck.

Here's detailed process of what I've done:

1) Nude APX drivers for PC

2) EasyFlasher

3) Reboot

4) Flash TWRP 2.8.1

5) Reboot

5) Wipe everything except SD

6) Format data

7) Flash 5.1. ROM (md5 matched)

8) Flash SU 2.46

9) Flash gapps

10) Wipe cache/dalvik

11) Reboot

And then it's stuck.

How long did you wait on the boot animation ?

first boot can take 10-15 minutes while staying on the boot animation.

Ah yeah and for it to work, you also need to believe that the dog is a meerkat ;P
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kuunkulta:
I've let it sit for 15+ minutes per try. To make sure I just flashed it again and let it load for 30minutes. The boot animation runs for a varying amount of time until eventually it freezes and reboots in an apparently endless cycle. Maybe I should build a meerkat-shrine and see if a prayer helps. Although, that might offend the allmighty Spongebob :S

exfat not working

Hi folks,

my TF101 won't read any devices with exfat formatting? I tried an USB Stick, a 64GB microSD, a 64GB SD. No one was mounted correctly, in settings the devices show up with 0,00B space.

What should I do?

I'm using the current Lollipop in v21. In timdurus description he says that CIFS, ext4, NTFS & Exfat ist supported. TWRP in v2.8.1.1 recognizes the exfat devices correctly.

Thanks for any advice!

How to make Terminal Emulator work in system folder

When I updated Terminal Emulator to version 1.0.66 it stopped working in system folder.

I found the solution.

If you have the same problem you should do this. Open Terminal apk with Archive Manager. Go to /lib/armeabi and extract two files from that folder - libjackpal-androidterm4.so and libjackpal-termexec.so. Copy those files to /system/lib folder in your device and do not forget to check permissions of files - it should be 644 or rw- r-- r--.

Voila! Now Terminal Emulator works in system folder.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timduru:
Ah yeah it's missing the menu entry.

I'll see about adding the entry back in the main menu.

in the meantime you can use the icon from the quick controls.

Yeah latest app is not compatible with more than 480p

either play 480p or install an older version like 5.0.21

hmm, never seen that kind of beahvior ,

but it kinda sounds as if the hard reboot you got after overclocking corrupted the system partition.

The system partition is mounted read only so its free space doesn't change through time after flashing the rom + supersu + gapps.

Unless you flash other things yourself in there.

If you still have the partition issue, you might be better to reformat /system from the recovrey then

reinstall the rom + supersu + gapps.

Yeah google launcher will eat more space / resources.

I wouldn't recommand installing it on the TF101.

Easiest way to free up space is to reflash everything rom + supersu + gapps (don't flash google launcher)

if you don't wipe /data it's quick to do so as you don't have to reinstall your apps.

exfat sticks needs to be fully clean for the rom to be able to mount them

(ie they must be marked checked , and not removed without ejecting first)

For microsd it shouldn't be a problem,

for USB sticks and SD it will be as when the dock goes to sleep it will not unmount them cleanly.

So either you can prevent it to go to sleep, or you need to make sure you unmount them before it does.

If the stick / sd comes from a PC , you need to make sure it's ejected cleanly before using it in the TF

I know it's not ideal, but that's the best I can do for the moment.

An easier solution is to use FAT32 or NTFS.

I personally use FAT32 microsd and everything is fine.

Whenever I need a bigger than 4GB file, I just transfer it directly to the internal storage.

I don't have usb audio device, so can't test yeah.

I think I had added it for a specific usb audio chip in the kernel a few years back after one user requested it

and reported it to work fine.

But from there I can't really do much more as I don't have a device to test it.

I don't see where it says it's supported on Lollipop anyway, so I'm good ;P

Just tested it, and it works fine for me.

One thing to make sure is to use the gapps from the 1st post. (and flash it everytime after the rom along with the supersu zip)

also one thing you can try is to turn location off, then back on from the settings.

sometime you need to agree to google's thingie for location to work back.

Google Play Apps installation issue

I don't know if this is a known error. I have tried to search for it, but no answer was found.

I have installed this ROM yesterday, direct from Stock.

> Installed via EasyFlasher the Custom Recovery, then updated to the new TWRP.

> Flashed ROM, GApps, reboot

> Recovery Again in order to install the SuperSU

After all the procedures, I have made no recovery from last backup (that one from Google Services) and tried to install the other Apps directly from Play Store.

The problem is, I click install, the downloading process begin, reaches 100%, but instead of going to the "Installing" part, it begins the downloading process. And never installs the app =(

So I'm not the only one looking into USB audio on Lollipop for the TF101. Cool.

I'm using speakers that should be plug n' play USB audio and was hoping for it to work on Lollipop:

I've described what I've been trying to do here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59814240&postcount=5

FYI, support for USB audio in Lollipop was mentioned here:

https://developer.android.com/about/versions/lollipop.html#Audio

But considering how old the Tegra 2 chip is and lack of drivers from Nvidia, it might not be possible. =(

I totally understand that you don't have USB audio devices to test with; but if there is something relatively easy (iono...logs?) that I can do to help, I can try.

Currently, my first thoughts are maybe USB host enumeration didn't allow enough power. Not sure how to look for that though.

You could just follow the steps to the letter again, or just try to reload 4.4.4 over. I surmise if you go over the steps one by one, you'll find you forgot one, the most important of which was to use the newest TWRP 2.8.1.1.

You also need to wipe Dalvic, cache and also FORMAT the data partitions...

gapps-KatKiss-5.0 not working on my TF101

Hello everyone, I first want to start with letting you know my technical level. I am new to tablet flashing. My realm is more on Computers, so I'm comfortable with handling these machine's even if I'm not familiar entirely with them.

The problem:

Installed the recovery TWRP 2.2.1 - Working

Unable to format /data using the wipe section inside the recovery.

Was able to clear and clean everything else (CACHE, DAVLIK CACHE, FACTORY RESET, SYSTEM, and INTERNAL)

Selected the install package gapps-KatKiss-5.0_20141122.zip

Did not select the available options to force check anything, including the MD5, the installation fails if I have them selected.

After install, the system appears to have done everything needed. I have the option to delete the cache again so I did try for each time I redid the process of installation with and without deleting the cache after install.

Afterwards I rebooted, and the tablet just stay's on the initial splash screen, with the Eee Pad logo.

Can't seem to get the OS to run. Was wondering if anyone had anything to add to this?
