random reboots

Big fan of all the developers keeping the prime alive, thankyou very much.

Very glad this Q&A has been opened, not got many posts so cant post on developer parts.

Usually find answers by reading, but realized thats just not enough any more, got to help the developers, if they are still willing to help us.

As it is written everywhere that most of the developers no longer have a tf201.

So ive been reading up on getting logcats, kmsg etc.

If their is anything i can post here, please let me know.

Been getting a few random reboots myself.

Thanks again
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
After one of these random reboot can you post a last_kmsg plz...

Let the tab boot after said random reboot and run this command from terminal ....

adb pull /proc/last_kmsg

Thx Josh

You're probably right. I installed KatKiss a week ago and it had been unstable and laggy until I froze K.A.T with link2sd. I unfroze it now and everything seems fine. *knock knock*

The device froze twice a moment ago (before unfreezing K.A.T). According to logcat, the device registered pushing power buttons on both the tablet and keyboard, but the screen stayed frozen. I was able to restart the launcher (nova) from adb shell, but it froze again soon after. I now switched back to launcher3, lets see if works better :)

Bootlooping at this point.. Sometimes I don't get the last message but anyways it would not boot.

Maybe I don't have a compatible bootloader? I'm coming from PA 4.5, I'll give this a look tomorrow and see if I can get what's wrong

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
Well what is your bootloader version ?

That pic looks like the preinit from crombi ?

I am working on things as fast as I can ..... :p

Let me put something together ...

Thx Josh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zodiark:
Yes, it's because of my bootloader, I need to update it to the 4.2 version.

Upgraded bootloader and reinstalled.. WOW! That's all I can say. It's fast, feels snappy, just amazing! It's like a new tablet.

Again thanks to everyone who made this ROM, very good job!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rkeene:
Has anyone tried using the ROM's encryption feature? I've had issues where the password/pin is not recognized in the past. Wondering if its a result of the custom 201/301 bootloader and recovery. Right now on tf201 with Twrp geass 2.7, geass v7 kernel and katkiss v36. Had PW issue with twrp 2.8.2
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goosebickel:
Im up for testing if you need a guinnie pig.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doperwt:
First I really appreciate the time and effort to keep this tablet up to date and alive.

Crombi-KK is running smoothly for a while now but lollipop would be nice too ;)

After installing I have the same problem as discribed here.

Running a TF201 as TF300T.

wipe dalvik - cache -system -data

Flashed the 201 version 14b

Flashed SuperSU

Boot

Message about storage and about installing SuperSU.

Reboot

Flash TF201_CompatibilityPack_LP-5.0_003.zip

Flash gapps-KatKiss-5.0_TF300T_20141122.zip

Message about installing SuperSU returns but unable to install becuase the application freezes causing a reboot of the tablet.

When I ignore the message and open the app drawer I don't see any Google App except for the play store and Calendar.

Updating apps or installing apps from the play store ends with a rebooting tablet.

Thanks in advance.

How can I go back to TF201? I want to install CM or HairyBean but I receive message I cant install it because my device is TF300. So, how to go back to TF201?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JuraP:
Why are you flashing compatibility pack, if U flash lj50036's package, where kernel is already included?

Just wipe all, flash 14b zip package from this thread , flash superSU zip, flash gapps zip and THAN boot up and you should be good to go...

why don't you do a nandroid backup in recovery before changing the ROM? If something goes wrong, you could just roll back to previous rom. It doesn't matter, how's your tablet type inside of the ROM, recovery doesn't care in a first place and in [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] zip package the slate is in Settings - Tablet Information described as TF201.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doperwt:
Hi JuraP,

Thanks for your reply.

I didn't know the kernel was already included in the package.

I do have a twrp back-up of my system and was able to restore the running Crombi-KK install.

Will try again soon.

One more question, do I need TWRP 2.8 becuase I'm now running 2.7 (latest for the tf201)

-Doperwt
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JuraP:
Look at the Crombi-kk thread, in post #4 I think is lj50036's modified 2.8.0 AREA51 recovery, I'm running that one... OR you can flash Neozone 2.8.0 recovery. Both of them supporting f2fs....

But someone here, or in original KatKiss thread reported, he flashed successfully with 2.7 TWRP
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] das chaos:
Just flashed the new TWRP 2.8.3.0 from here:

http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf300t/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-tf300t.blob

... and it works fine with my tf201 (and lollipop).

You have to edit ROM.zip. There is a file updater-script in META-INF > com > google > android. Edit or delete first line.

rezip/store and flash ROM.zip.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TheArtiszan:
It sounds like though since I am already running crombi, I can just update the recovery, do the full wipe and install this with the compatibility patch right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doperwt:
Thats correct. I did the same, except for the recovery update.

Only thing that is not working for me is supersu. This makes it unstable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
Can no one read :confused::confused::confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TheArtiszan:
I can read just fine.

But with the steps covering from coming from stock and there being many places to start from, makes it very confusing.

Or were you meaning the supersu part?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TheArtiszan:
What worked for me already being on the hairybean bootloader was

Update the recovery to the newest twrp

Wipe everything

Flash ROM

Compatibility

Super user

Gapps

Reboot

And everything seems to be working just fine
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgcruzing:
LJ, don't stress it..remember you are on the forums a lot and that we take it for granted people follow the full threads..

Where in this case they have not..

To answer the question.. If you flash this Kitkass TF201 version in the OPs first post you do not need to flash the compatibly zip..

Going back to LJ..

Going forward you might want to change the thread title to reflect that this thread is for your version..this way you don't have to stress about people coming in and asking about Tims TF300 version..

Its like the TF300 thread is still going to get flyins that don't read threads and have a TF201 and will still ask questions in that thread as its the nature of the beast of forums on the net..

I am on thecTF201 version with data formated as f2fs and it is flying.. Feels like a new tablet..

Unbelievable that Asus dropped the ball on software support on these as in this state they are not a bad tablet..

One thing to note for me is that I can't flash my backup zip of programs made in TB it doesn't stick.. This might because of the f2fs format of data.. I might get hold of the TB crew and see if anything can be done about it as I prefer to have a backup zip of programs with no data and flash after the first boot and setup.. So much quicker then restore all the time..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] das chaos:
No sweat!

Some can't read,

some can't explain.

It takes all sorts to make a world.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgcruzing:
Josh, maybe edit the third post of OP and put this in it minus the "Compatibility" step and then people have no excuse for not reading..

As that last instruction is going to get buried in this thread..

@ TheAtiszan..

Before you load up to many apps go for the F2fs data format..

You won't be let down...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pikul:
Ive just installed this rom, was using the tf300 version but im soooooo glad there's one for us tf201, gonna dd this and see how it goes, thank you lj50036
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TheArtiszan:
That was a good idea

I forgot to do that the first time around.

Does yours lock up occasionally?

I have noticed using browser streaming video and going back out causes a freeze sometimes
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgcruzing:
Let get back to you on that one over the next few days..

I don't do a lot of browser streaming but do use Chromecast and stream thru dedicated apps off the synology nas I have..plus we have have a Seagate and a western digital networked drives in the house at the moment so will try all of those...

One little problem I am getting is screen turning off.. Need to check on it as just did as I was typing this reply..

I comes back on with a touch of the button but I have noticed a few times..

I have set it to screen off in 5 mins so will see if it changes..

As a note I have set tablet to OC 1700 with min @ 370 .. Performance and noop scheduler.

Plus I am running the seeder.apk set to aggressive..

Makes this thing fly..but battery life is the trade off.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pikul:
Ok used this for only one day but i can see this is a great rom already and one of the best first builds ive tried, have the same issues as everyone else, what i did notice its that the screen doesn't go off, just really really dim, thats why after pressing the volume button its goes to normal, but if you push the power button you have to push it again to turn the screen on and its on the lock screen.

Also i did a fresh install of 14b, of course from this thread and newest gapps from tinduru thread and nothing more, did a full wipe of everything and format data with f2fs, battery was really good, used it for 2 hours non stop and i was on 84% from a full charge, but after letting it alone for 3 hours battery went from that to 62%, miscellaneous prevent it from going to sleep.

Gonna keep using it and see what else i can find :good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shoman94:
So the only issue I get is the screen turning black for whatever reason as others mentioned.... any ideas on debugging that?

Bluetooth is weird... I have to reboot the tablet.... connect to my bt speaker then fire up Pandora for it to work. After that it works..... other then that it will connect but Pandora won't even play. If I disconnect the device...Pandora starts immediately.

I haven't tried another music player....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
Pull a logcat of the situation with BT ....

Thx Josh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JuraP:
The same with Spotify - connected to BT, launching Spotify, and when I play a song, sometimes the player plays the song, but nothing comes out of speakers, turning off BT and playback starts from tablet speakers. Reconnect to BT mostly fails afterwards and reboot is needed to get it work again . But I can't provide a logcat, because I'm currently on Omni. With Omni the massive battery drain in "Miscelanious" caused by System Android and Media service (not by a rougue app as I taught previously) disappeared...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pikul:
I started looking for info about the battery drain of miscellaneous, seems like a bug from 5.0.1in some cases that happends with wifi its on and you leave your tablet alone, thats what happends to me, if i turn wifi off and let my tablet for a couple of hours everything its ok, battery loss its arround 1 or 2 %, looked the last 8 pages and nobody said anything of this so im letting you know.

If anyone has the battery drain issues with miscellaneous, turn wifi off when not using it and see if that fixed it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
Or you can go into wifi // three dots upper right // advanced ......

Under the "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep change" to "Only when plugged in" or "Never" ....

Thx Josh :good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JuraP:
Already did that... No avail... The drain is totally random.. Few hours you see only minimal decline and everything seems all right, and than it starts again.. Tried to set wifi to OFF during the sleep, tried to set charged slate to airplane mode during the night and still I found it with dead battery in the morning... No clue what is causing this. In battery stats is it always System and sometimes media server/services? Or something like that... In scanno's/lj50036's /Hardslog's Omni ROM this drain is gone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
Yes as omni starts to getting rolling with 5.0 I am going to have to step away from this thread ...

I will leave it open for all that want to use it .....

Thx Josh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JuraP:
Thx Josh, could I ask you for one more favor? Would it be too much time consuming/hassle for you to compile tf201 version when timduru rolls out KatKiss 5.0.2 for TF300? Because Omni is 5.0.2 version and it seems to working just fine (except it completely ruined/deformated my SD by accidental eject and reinsert - first ROM that did that. Thx God for accidental backup I did a month ago.. :D ) Have a nice weekend.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Stargazer Optimus:
I had the battery drain problem when I first installed the ROM along with the PA Mini GAPPS. I later on installed all of the remaining GAPPS found on the Play Store that would give the same as the PA Full Modular GAPPS package and have had no battery drain or wifi problems since. Maybe there is something in the GAPPS causing the problem and some of the others clear it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lj50036:
I am working on a better pack that can be flashed after the 300 install ....

One that will make it every nice for all .....

Your posts always end with "Thx Josh". In fact, it's for us to thank you.

PS: excuse me for my bad english, but im french ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgcruzing:
Yes, seemed to do the trick for me too..

The night before I had it plugged into the the dock and it had horrible batt drain..

Looks like it was stuck on 670 MHz instead of deep sleep..

670 was about 7 hours.. Deep sleep was 45 mins via CPU spy..

Today with WiFi off and lots of apps "greenfied" I had deep sleep of 7.25 hrs and the 1700 for 45 mins of reading before sleep.. Which is a more balanced system..

I think i will run it like this for the next few days to see..

Still getting the screen turning off..while reading or in a forum like this typing..

I have screen off set to 5 mins in settings..

It just turned off by itself as I typed after being on for close to 12 mins..

Seems to screen off...hit the button comes back on but goes into screen off and then comes back into lock screen..

Let me pull a logcat and post it

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goosebickel:
Same problem for me too, very bad battery, screen turns off, have to press volume rocker to get screen back, might just be my old knackered prime, but, i can't turn the thing off. It always reboots itself. With quickboot app or power key.

Thanks for the WiFi tip though, will save me going into recovery to power it off.

Will post a logcat tomorrow, to late now, been playing with my z3 all day

Probably not worth looking at, logcat of the shutdown reboot thing,

Not seen anyone else complain about it, will try grimlock 5.0 as jura p mentioned.

Working as normal now, thanks to the new kernel in grimmlock tf300t area, happy days.

Thanks developers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JuraP:
Good morning from Europe, flashed hardslog's Grimmkernel 5.0 to KatKiss yesterday in the afternoon... Seems like the drain is gone (in exchange for obligate screen "twitching screen /picture" with opened virtual keyboard of any kind (SwiftKey, AOSP, Google). Will see what will happen over the day. Until now running since 18:00 with 100% now 73%. 70 %display, 15%apps including android , 15% Wi-Fi bt and so on..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] curyosyty:
Thanks all

Past month, I was looking for new tab, but my tf201 is not dead yet, thanks everybody, I learn from each posts.

I've a problem with battery drain, but whe wifi is off battery last longer. Dark screen to, but

there is sound

coming from the app, and when we touch screen,

there is somes actions

too.:)

Thanks, you are my gods, and I'm learning with you

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JuraP:
Black screen is resolvable by simple clicking on volume rocker (vol+, vol -) and screen goes on again. I flashed hardslog's 5.0 kernel and it seems, the drain is gone...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgcruzing:
Is that a tf300 kernel?...

Edit. As per the 4.4 thread we will have to wait until a link surfaces...

JP.. Can you upload it and post a link?

We could check with the crew to make they are happy with a link in this thread but am keen to give it a go too..

K..got it..didn't follow the 2nd post through to download section..will load it up now.. Cheers

Instructions from CROMBi-kk

I believe that the instructions are good for coming from stock, but as I was using Josh's CROMBi-kk, they were really not guiding.

This is how I installed on my TF201, coming from 4.4.4 (CROMBi-kk)

Updated TWRP to 2.8 via "DEV branch" of [MENTION=5280400]ne0zone75[/MENTION] (via http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2772093): I put it into USB Flash and updated within TWRP, using Install function

Maybe that was not all needed, but I used F2FS to utilize the performance improvements mentioned by [MENTION=3212674]dgcruzing[/MENTION]. And to be on the safe side, I formatted "data" partition to F2FS, via Wipe->Advanced. Afterwards I followed guidance from [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] : Go to Wipe////Format Data////Type yes. I waited all to be formatted and then checked once more that data partition was F2FS formatted.

I copied [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] KatKiss-5.0_TF201T_014b_signed.zip to home directory on my Ubuntu and pushed via the code:

adb push KatKiss-5.0_TF201T_014b_signed.zip /sdcard

Note: If you are on Ubuntu, you need to start adb first as root (via sudo), then you can continue as normal user.

Installed the ROM via Install menu of TWRP, in SDCARD, as pushed in previous step.

Installed the Google Apps for Lollipop from this thread by [MENTION=3407718]drewwalton19216801[/MENTION].

When I wanted to reboot the device, TWRP asked if I wanted to install SuperSU, I did by swiping .

On CROMBi-kk I had used ext4 and my TF201 was booting real slow, around 10 minutes.

Now it boots lightning fast, less than 1 minute.

Thanks a lot to all contributors, mentioned and forgotten.

I hope that this post helps other people install this ROM.

Loaded grimlock 5 kernel last night..did a full recharge over night and using it for about an hour and a half now on forum reading on Tapatalk with a bit of video watching..

No screen offs...so that's good..

Just a slight flickering on some screens and slight jumping of bottom bars on video in vimeo..

CPU usage is fine..

Still running on 1700max and 370min... Performance and Noop..

Deep sleep was over 8 hours last night while plugged in so that's good..

I didnt have the keyboard/tablet plugged in just direct to tablet..will do the combo over night tonight and see how it goes..

It was a little sluggish on first wake..opening Tapatalk but is multitasking fine once it fully wakes and using full CPU..

Need to run a game or two to show it heats up..

Otherwise happy as no reboots and screen offs..

Grimlock 5 link - just use the first link in post.. It will take you to the download.

I dirty flashed it.. No wipes..straight on top of this threads version of katkiss..

New kernel didn't change the freezing.

Mainly seems to happen using Firefox or chrome and sites that have flash on them. Going to try the stock browser and other things instead for a while.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] das chaos:
Same with Dolphin Browser and it's not only flash content, but also html5, which causes freezes on [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION]s ROMs (kk and lp). In most cases you can end them by pressing on/off button. When display goes off wait some 10 seconds and turn on again. It might last another 5 sec and then lockscreen will come on and freeze status will be ended.
