Thanks for this, as I havent quite had a chance to try the the data2sd yet. I have a couple questions though, as twrp gets updated I have always updated a flashable zip for each one, but as I was making one for this I noticed one thing, they are usually in .blob form but this one is an .img? Can I just replace the old blob with this img and it will flash? or can/should I simply change it from a img to a blob?

Also while I knew the latest twrp can flash imgs from within recovery, I tried just doing that and rebooting to recovery but while in bootloader it said something in red at the top right about not finding it... thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
It is still a .blob but when it gets built in the build system it ****s out a .img ....

I see no need to rename it .... lj50036 <-- IS LAZY !!!! :victory:

Feel free to rename it to recovery.blob as that is what it is ..... :good:

If you flash it with a zip you will need to reboot all the way back into android before booting into TWRP ....

You cannot flash this with the image flashing tool in TWRP as it is not an image ..... :p

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jbb3393:
as I expected. [emoji2] [emoji106]

do you mind once i build the zip if i post it for others as I find it a bit easier for the end user?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
If you would let me flash it and make sure its good to go we will add it to the OP as ....

A contribution from you mate.... :good:

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
You have to "reboot system" so that the bootloader can copy the recovery image from the blob in the staging partition to the recovery partition, but when it reboots again after the blue progress bar, you can hold down volume-down immediately when it vibrates to go back to the bootloader menu. No need to boot Android.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jbb3393:
exactly how I do it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Ok you can take it down if you would like ...

Give me a min I will take a look....

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Just noticed this! :)

How do you handle the sizes for ROM2Sd and DATA2SD?

Will be flashing it later ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
The recovery will not partition the mirco sd ......

It will only format the mirco sd partitions that are there.....

That is something to look into ......

Unable to wipe /ext-system

I get the following error when I try to wipe /ext-system

"E: Block device not present, cannot wipe Ext/system."

"E: Unable to wipe ' /ext-system'"

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Well then your ext sdcard is not partitions correctly ...

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] glecko:
I'm using a DATA2SD setup, so I suppose it doesn't matter?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
You you do not have a EXT/system partition on the sdcard for DATA2SD ,that is only for ROM2SD .... :D

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] glecko:
Yes, you are correct.

I realized that only when I started to use my own brain to think about it...

Great tool! Great community. Thank you!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jamteck:
Hi,

Good job on twrp by the way.

Sorry noob here.

How would I setup f2fs on ext. Sd card? I have a good idea how to do it, but I think I missed a step some where.

Thanks!

Hint: your tablet has a microSD slot ;)

Second hint: Transfer files in adb, mtp sucks anyway
[Asus Transformer TF700] diwrat:
"Hint: your tablet has a microSD slot

Second hint: Transfer files in adb, mtp sucks anyway"

agree with above but I guess I didn 't make it clear that my computer did not see my tablet, so adb out and microSD slot out... therefore without going through a lot of hoops, the above was the simplest way to deal with upgrade.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Homer-Jay:
hi there,

I unlocked my device and flash the latest 2.8.7.4. Even if I start the recovery the tablet freez. It show in the left upper corner that the recovery kernel image is booting. Somebody an idea?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Did you flash TWRP in fastboot?

Can you boot into the bootloader or Android?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Homer-Jay:
edit: I find the reason. I used a usb extension and the cabel was too long. ;)

[Asus Transformer TF700] rregn:
As i understand, you have to unlock the bootloader to flash TWRP with fastboot on the device. For unlocking there was an Asus APP. ist this app still available ad fuctional? Did someone do this recently with success?
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
The card will need to be partitioned according to the Data2SD or ROM2SD instructions.

Then

Goto Wipe/Advanced.

Select EXT/data partition

Select Repair or Change FS

Select F2FS

Profit
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
I think on my next release I am going to clean the partition naming up a bit ....

Anyone have any ideas for rename the displayed name of the

Ext/card
Ext/data
Ext/system
Ext/dock_sd

Let me know, I would like to keep it simple and user-friendly .....

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
i don't have any partition naming suggestions, but wanted to suggest reducing the font size in the console / log window thing (technical term) that displays when TWRP is executing stuff.

it's much larger than regular, but not a huge deal if you like it that way.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Seems pretty clear to me....

Except maybe the first. Is that for a "normal" card, no partitions?

Maybe ext/microSD?

EXT/entire_card?? [emoji16]
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Yes I like that idea ext/microSD

I think I am going to remove the caps from Ext also ....

I like it guys keep it coming .... :p

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
So does that option wipe the entire card or just the fat32 partition?

The latter would make sense - so maybe ext/fat32 to make it clear?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
No it does not wipe the entire mircoSD ....

Right now this is the option Ext/card it wipes /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 only .....

Which is for the users storage only, so make it ext/fat32 this would be ok with me and easy

But what does twrp want to format it as exfat ? I need to look ..... :p

Will let you know what I find ....

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Josh -

NICELY DONE!

Is this the first time the dock's SD card has been available in the TF700 version of TWRP? I love that option, as it is easier to slap the full-size SD than micro-sd into a laptop if I need to do so (obscure reasons for doing it, but I have done so on my old TF101). Sweet.

Also, one small issue or question... my clock is an hour off in TWRP, even after setting the time for Central Time. It of course returns to normal once I'm in Android. But is that a glitch or human error on my part? ;)

lj50036... also very much appreciated your add of the zip installer. I know I should be cool and do it the other way, but always happy for a shortcut, and yours worked like a charm.

So, to both of you....

Thanks again, very well done!
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Really sweet and an absolute first. TWRP never before could access the dock SD.

So you live in the next time zone over from Dees_Troy - my best guess. That clock was always off for me - but why is that of any importance????

But you do have fastboot working, right? If not, sooner or later you WILL regret it!
[Asus Transformer TF700] rprussell:
I think it's clear enough as-is - my questions, though, are...

If I run the "DATA2SD" flasher, does that flip ext with internal?

If I CURRENTLY have a DATA2SD (and ROM2SD) setup, I want to be doing backups from the Ext/* paritions, yah?

When I choose "internal/external card" for the backup destination, can you refresh my memory as to where those are pointing?

I came over here from the Zombi-pop 5.1 thread, I'd like to upgrade from ZOmbi-kk ROM2SD and do it without losing data, natch :)

Thanks,

R
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
"But you do have fastboot working, right? If not, sooner or later you WILL regret it!" - Josh

I do have it working. You made me nervous enough to go check it out again anyway, and yep, still there. ;) After some of the stuff I've seen you helping folks with that borked their tablets, I can understand why the question is important.

And thanks for asking. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:

What question ?

I am lost, help me I am over here ..... :p

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Not reading your own thread, eh? ;)

shonkin was thanking you for the flashable zip and I told him to get off his lazy butt and use fastboot - only I said it much nicer :silly:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
Love it!

Assuming an existing extSD /data f2fs install, will this format ext/data to f2fs off the bat, or do you still have to format then change file system (as you do in the stock TWRP)?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Changing the file system always means formatting. There is no point in formatting twice.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
I was meaning in TWRP when you have a f2fs data partition, the 'stock' twrp uses make_extfs instead of the make_f2fs command (IIRC)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I don't know if the official build supports f2fs - I just said that formatting twice is not needed. Unless you want to benefit from the trimming that happens after formatting ext4 in TWRP.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ozark_8125:
Is the trimming the same as the 'tuning' that I see after running through the aroma options in the cromi roms when the actual install process starts (ie, 'tuning system' etc)?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
No, I'm talking about the "secure erase" that makes formatting in TWRP take so long. Actually the formatting itself is fast. Erasing all the blocks takes time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:

Yes this twrp can do that .....

[Asus Transformer TF700] Sweeny:
Hi!

Is it possible to use the flashable ZIP to update CWM to TWRP? I am using CWM 6.0.4.7 on TF700.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jbb3393:
All is well, flash away my friend. Just let it reboot into system first before going back into recovery
[Asus Transformer TF700] Anders Williams:
Flashed the ZIP version, after booting the system I had some rather funky errors where every single google service failed repeatedly, rebooted again in recovery, the zip had installed no problem, upon 2'nd boot to system no errors, honestly can't say if it's related or not, just wanted to throw up a "this happened" in case others experience something similar upon their first boot post flashing.

Thanks for the easy installer option

I will point you to post #6 .... :p

[Asus Transformer TF700] polo_joe:
!!problem solved, sorry for the noise!!

Hi, I tried to write twrp 2.8.6.1 with fastboot, but after reboot-bootloader I get

key driver not found.. booting os

Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "ww_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801" A03

Starting Fastboot USB download protocol

Booting to android works, but I don't get into recovery to flash new rom.

Any hints?
[Asus Transformer TF700] hardslog:
When it says "starting Fasboot usb download protocol" did you try pressing Volume up on the tablet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] polo_joe:
Thanks much, that was the solution. I tried that several times before but the problem I think was I didn't rename the img file to blob before flashing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
You dont have to rename the .img to .blob to flash it with fastboot :confused::confused::confused::confused:

Thx Josh

Thanks guys, this was way less painful than trying to get my tablet recognized in windows with a blob. And reformatting my data partition on my sd card was painless!

bootloop

Hi all. I did the following:

downloaded the 2.8.6.1 img file

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp_tf700t_kang_2.8.6.1.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

pressed vol-up to boot recovery

I get the TWRP curtain for 10-15 seconds and then the tablet goes into a boot loop trying to boot the system. Can't get into recovery.

The system boot loop is from a failed upgrade to Zombi-POP 5.1.1 B1. Previously running an earlier version of Zombi-POP (ROM2SD, F2FS on data) without any problem. Previous version of TWRP was 2.8.4 -- no problems.

Any suggestions for getting out of this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
No idea what has gone wrong here...

What bootloader version are you running ?

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] mlinfoot:
From the fastboot screen:

Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "WW_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801" A03

Thanks for your help Josh.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Well It could have been a bad download ? Did you check the md5 ?

Or maybe you have a corrupt /data partition ?

So maybe like this ......

fastboot erase recovery

Verifiy the md5 of the recovery .....

fastboot reboot-bootoader

fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

VOL up in RCK to enter recovery ......

Let me know .....

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] mlinfoot:
MD5 was okay, so I erased the /data partition as you suggested, but ended up back in the bootloop. At this point I wondered if maybe the microSD card was corrupt and took it out. Viola -- back into recovery (yours), flashed the Zombi-POP ROM, and installed to internal. Out of the woods!

Now, to verify the microSD and repartition if necessary, and start again with a ROM2SD install.

Thanks for your help and all the great work you do.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mlinfoot:
Something strange going on here...

The microSD card seems fine. Gparted on my Linux laptop shows the 3 partitions, I can browse files, no errors of any kind. I can even successfully install Zombi-POP using ROM2SD. BUT whenever the card is present, booting either into recovery or system goes into a bootloop. Even stranger, taking the card out during the bootloop lets things proceed normally. That is, if I was trying to boot into recovery, removing the card during the bootloop takes it to TWRP. Likewise, attempting a normal boot, removing the card allows it to boot into Zombi-POP.

Any ideas?

Final update: Reformatted all 3 partitions and everything working as expected now.

[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
We dont have raw .img, our tablets use .blob and some users have had issues with this ....

So I removed it to stop users from soft-bricking their tablets ..... :good:

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I think that you can write the raw recovery ".img" directly into the recovery partition which is mmcblk0p9. Please don't take it too serious because I have not tried it before but I am very sure that it is going to work just fine. The ".blob" is written into the staging partition and will update the ".img" into the recovery partition on the next reboot. The ".blob" also contained the header so the staging partition knows where to write the ".img" into the appropriated partitions. I believed that how the TF700t works but it was a while when I still had my TF700t.... :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] momosala:
