Great timing, just logged in to check for an update :)

Hopefully the rotation bug will be fixed in this release - still having issues with 007
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] vfrvulcan:
Rotation problem not cured :(

Dirty flash/wipe dalvik/cache, keyboard connected

Reboot, wait for updating, settle on home screen. Allowed it to timeout and go off. Undocked and auto-rotated to portrait as expected, fired up ebay app, went back to home screen, connected dock but no rotation, still sitting there in portrait.

Would appreciate a fix for this - seems to be the only thing holding it back for me - feels faster than Lolli, SD works fine etc.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] chrisautrey:
Thanks. Can't wait to push this one tonight.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ebonit:
Please keep your hands off TWRP 3.0. What you need is Kang TWRP 2.8.7.2@AEREA51. Follow exactly Timduru's instruction given in post #1 and you are on the safe side. Clean installation is highly recommended either if there were any issues before or coming from another rom. Be carful and the success will be with you! :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pastorbob62:
I haven't tried TWRP 3.0.2 but there are those who say it will cause problems. I don't know what the issues are, but I have been using TWRP 3.0.0 through several updates and have had no problems whatsoever. However, I was already on this ROM when I began to use 3.0.0.

To be 100% safe I would stick with 2.8.7 Kang's version. It just works flawlessly.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mathiastft300:
since release 0.24 googleapps do not work...

have tried everything , including formatting everything and install fresh katkiss , folowing your instruction (wipe data and all )

cannot send you logs has i have an error message and ggogleapps crash (says you need an account).

and no action possible ( message come back with no end).

have tried lot of opengapps , no one works (starting from one or feb).

thanks a lot.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ebonit:
As far as I can remember the main problem since the beginning was that TWRP 3.0 has been unable to format /data to F2FS. On the other hand there were reported many other issues with flashing finding in some threads. Sometimes Josh will surely issue a special TWRP 3.0. version fitting exactly for TF300T, I hope.

Your final advise is absolutely correct, thanks! :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pastorbob62:
Ah yes! I remember now. That would make perfect sense since I was already formatted F2FS before updating to 3.0.0 so I probably would not see any problems.

Hopefully we will see an update to TWRP that works for us 100% some day soon.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] wererogue:
I tried a few different opengapps after 0.24 and the *only* one that worked for me was the March 20 one mentioned in the OP - both newer and older versions (from February and April) caused a boot loop. If you've tried that one I'm not sure what to tell you.

I have also had a couple of Google apps crash a lot in the past - uninstalling updates and letting them reupdate fixed that.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] clifordunique:
Did you install superuser as recommended?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] wererogue:
I've had supersu installed at every stage, if that's what you meant? But I don't have any problems right now, just giving my advice to try the specific 3/20 edition of opengapps if the gapps problem is causing a boot loop, or to try uninstalling updates for a specific app if it crashes frequently.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] KhurramF:
I installed it on the tf300t and it works great. The tablet is so responsive that it is a joy to use :D Now I need to figure how to make the dock work.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] jglazer:
I've been trying to get my TF300t to run the latest katkiss. It has never run it (had stock ROM). I wiped everything clean and even changed the data partition to F2FS. It all seems to go well but when it reboots it just sits on the ASUS logo and reboots over and over. What can I be doing wrong. I'm using TWRP 3. I've done this many times with a TF700 without a hitch. Any help??
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] MiniBlu:
As said many times in here. TWRP 3 does not work for F2FS. Use the Kang twrp 2.8.7.2 found here. No other versions of twrp have f2fs support for the tf300t.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ebonit:
Hopefully you have a backup of your previous system. If yes, please restore it and change TWRP as advised by MiniBlu. Then run the installation routine again following the instruction in post #1 exactly. Good luck! :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] jglazer:
Ok, I have the Kang TWRP now (2.8.7.2@AREA51)

-I have changed the data file system to f2fs

-formatted it with format

-wiped system, cache and dalvik

-installed the TF300T katkiss (25).

Still stuck on boot/logo

I don't have a backup of the original ROM but I did download the firmware from asus so I'll give that a try. Any other suggestions?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ebonit:
This is the best suggestion, because after that you will have a clean system JB 4.2!

First of all you need „Minimal ADB and Fastboot“. The USB driver must be installed on your PC.

Go to Asus and download the latest firmware for

your

tablet. Unzip it 2 times. You should have a blob file now in the extracted folder. Put this blob in your fastboot folder.

Open cmd and type:

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob

Let it run. It seems that nothing happens. The whole thing can take up to 20 Minutes, so just stay calm and wait till it’s finished.

Now you should be back to full Stock with Stock recovery. Then you must flash your Kang TWRP again.

After that your tablet will be ready for a clean install of MM 6.0! Good luck! :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] jglazer:
I won't be home for a while so no access to fastboot. I do have the tablet here with me. Can I do all this with the TWRP I installed? I am not sure which of the 4 stock US ROMS are correct for this tablet but I don't mind going back to that first (as suggested). Or should I really wait to do the fastboot method. I am downloading with my TF700T and planning on using a micro SD to transfer to TF300t.

I've installed KATKISS about 8 times on 8 different TF700ts without a hitch. This is the first TF300T and its been a pain in the butt. :)

Thanks for all your help guys
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] compact_wisdom:
Just to be sure: you did flash the rom, super SU and gapps without rebooting, right? What version of gapps?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ebonit:
There is always a "Thanks" button!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] jglazer:
No, I just flashed the rom. I figured there's no point going further if it won't at least boot the rom.

---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

So is there any way to use TWRP for this?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] compact_wisdom:
Then that's the point why you are stuck in a bootloop. You have to flash the rom, super SU and gapps in one go.

And to my best knowledge, there is no way back to stock (if you don't have a backup) without fastboot.

But just try flashing all three zip files.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] jglazer:
Really? I never had this issue with TF700T. In fact there are issues if you try to do that with the TF700T. You have to do the ROM first.

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

Ok Just installed the ROM, gapps, and SU in one go. No errors. No difference. Still sitting on logo/boot screen.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ebonit:
Yes it is! Please read the installation instruction post #1 before you start. Make a full wipe (clean install!!!). Then try to flash Rom, SU and Gapps in one run using your TWRP by adding all three zip files for one flash without booting. Finally reboot into system.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] jglazer:
I posted about 40 minutes ago that I did just that and it doesn't work. I'll have to go back to stock ROM first I think.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] compact_wisdom:
Tim stated in the opening post that you always have to flash all three files without a reboot. Unusual, I know.

What version of gapps did you flash?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] jglazer:
I flashed the exact versions pointed to in the first post. I don't understand why you can't flash the rom first and see how that is. I've always done that with every other android device. But its no big deal to do it this way. Except it didn't work either :(
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pe1dnn:
All through this thread it has been made pretty clear you always have to flash all three (ROM, gapps, SuperSu) at the same time. The problem you have now is once you rebooted without gapps installed it created data on /data that causes it to loop. Flashing all three in a second session does not help anymore because the data causing it is already created.

What you need to do: format /data again (to get rid of any residual data from the first failed attempt), make sure to use the f2fs filesystem and not ext4 (too slow and causes issues), then install the 3 packages in one session without rebooting and finally wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot. After reboot update SuperSu from the play store, the SuperSu you flashed is only a binary without the app.

Now also an other word of warning because it looks like you want to use your own instructions: use the exact packages and versions as mentioned on the opening page. Not newer, older, fancier, "I know better" versions, these exact versions are proven to work, all other combinations are a gamble which most of the time you will loose. Also use the specified TWRP version, not newer an not older but exactly that one.

If you want to know why there is so little play room for the versions read the previous postings, the prescribed combination has been proven to work and others all had their problems.

If everything still fails then format /data to ext4 again, install the stock ASUS ROM and make sure it works by running it. When all works fine install this ROM again but this time by following the instructions to the letter.

You say the procedure you used worked with other ROMs. Thats good for those ROMs but it does not work that way for this one, it never did and this has been repeatedly explained here (and you experienced it first hand it doesn't work without gapps and SuperSu). This is how it is and the instructions are clear and there is also absolutely no problem to do it this way.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pastorbob62:
It amazes me how many users make the statement "But it worked that way on other ROM's/devices", after they have gotten into trouble by failing to follow install steps as outlined by the developers. And how many times a week I see comments and questions about issues that are covered thoroughly throughout the forums. That is bad enough but then they want to continue to argue their misconceptions, even as they are desperately trying to get their devices working again.

But what I find even more amazing is the long suffering patience shown by numerous developers. I am technically astute enough to develop a custom ROM, but I wouldn't last a week dealing with the issues mentioned above.

Once again I take my hat off to Tim and numerous other developers who continue to keep our devices relevant and usable even when they are long past obsolete. :good::good::good::good::good:
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] jglazer:
Ok, I came back here to provide feedback on my results. I really didn't expect a flame from pastorbob62. But such-is-life... I do want to stress that the instructions on setting this up on a TF300T does not explicitly state that you MUST install the 3 packs before reboot. It also doesn't explicitly state that you MUST use f2fs for data. I suggest these statements be added so there's no more confusion. I do have a lot of experience installing ROMs on other devices and this is the first time that it seems to be a requirement to install more than the ROM before reboot. That's fine, it is just unusual.

So for posterity:

1. I had the boot-loop. No way out of it. Could only get into the recovery

2. Thanks to ebonit, I was able to successfully go back to the stock ROM. Why Asus hides the links for those ROMS is beyond me. You MUST go to the Asus Support page before searching for TF300T.

3. Thanks to MiniBlu, I got the KANG twrp installed. This is also not explicitly stated as a requirement in the instructions but if you want/need to go to F2FS you pretty much need to use this. Believe me, I tried others.

4. Also thanks to ebonit for the advice/requirement to install the ROM, SU and GAPPS all in one go before rebooting.

I have followed the procedure with Kang TWRP, F2FS and the 3 ROMS on 2 other TF300Ts without a hitch. So, for those helping, I thank you whole-heartedly. For those putting up with the extra flak, I apologize :). I really wish this forum was not one really long, disjointed thread hundreds of pages long. Its so difficult to search and hence you get a lot of the same questions.

Oh, one other note that may or may not be mentioned here. On all TF models I've messed with, having the keyboard attached during the TWP installation is problematic. Remove the keyboard and just attach the tablet itself to the PC if you cannot get fastboot to work.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] timduru:
it's all there in the 1st post "install instruction."

It's a list of steps that you need to follow.

You even have red color ;)

It tells you when to reboot.

(and it is listed *after* all the previous steps, so that means, yes , do the previous steps, then reboot after all the steps. )

And First step is "Install Kang recovery" with a link to it..

Not really sure what more you need ;)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] jglazer:
Ahh but it can be interpreted in many ways. Especially when it comes to the flashing. You list each individually which could imply doing one, then rebooting then the next then the next.

But I admit I didn't follow it very closely assuming that the procedure was the same as the other ROMs I am familiar with.

Set governor interactive, 51 - 1300 Ghz frequency range, but system is still very slow expecially after waking up from standby...more than with katkiss lollopop. Apps like mail client or browser often take more than 5 or 6 seconds to start, and too often back cover is overheating ?

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] timduru:
If you have the tablet heating up too, it sounds as if you've an app eating 100% cpu and/or eating i/o.

Also make sure that you formatted /data f2fs to help with apps that goes heavy on i/o after waking up the tablet from sleep.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] bda12pleaseu:
Thnx timduru,

I have no problems with over heating or battery life for that matter often get days from standby.

hi all,

have asus tf300t with last katkiss 6.0 ver 25 and K.A.T - V2.2.0 installed. GPS doesnt work. Tried to install GPS quickerFix, reboot, but nothing changed - GPS still doesnt work. Before on stock Android 4.2 GPS worked fine. Any ideas to fix this problem ? Thanks in advance
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ebonit:
Do you have Kang TWRP 2.8.7.2 ? If yes then format /data to F2FS (If not you have to install it). After that make a "clean" reinstallation following

exactly

the instruction in post #1. Please install Rom, SU and Gapps in one run and then reboot! Finally everything should be fine.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] GRI0811:
i did it before, because came from stock android 4.2. Today i did again format/data to F2FS, full wipe, install ROM,SU,GAPPS - GPS still doesnt work. Install K.A.T - V2.2.0, then tried to install "GPS quickerFix" but install failed with error (GPS), then press install button again - reported "Install finished". Reboot - nothing changed, GPS didnt work... Any ideas ?

Unfortunately I don't have any further ideas because my GPS has ever been worked great. But I would like to recommend to you this XDA thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1904048.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] silkenhut:
I haven't been able to upgrade directly to #25 from #18.

I did "dirty" flashing by flashing rom, su and gapps in one go.. but it just says "script succeeded result was [/system]"; then gapps would fail.

I also did a clean installation by wiping, formatting back to F2FS and installing all 3 in one go... still the same script succeeded result was [/system] issue.

Now, I'm back to #18 wondering where I went wrong.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ebonit:
On a first glance it looks fine what you did.

However did you after all install SU extra from the Playstore ? Otherwise you will have the binary only.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] silkenhut:
Hello, I'm not able to boot into the system after that. GAPPS would fail saying that a different OS is there...

and when I try to reboot, TWRP would say that there's no OS installed. The only thing I could do is to reboot to recovery and retry ; or go back to my previous nandroid backup.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] GertBagley:
When I'm connected to the dock my wifi is very spotty. I'm disconnected more than connected. My home network isn't even recognized. When I undock the issue is more or less resolved.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ebonit:
Believe me, your situation is absolutely unusual!

Yes, you should roll back your previous system and check right here whether everything works fine or not. This seems to be very important that there aren't any issues left. (If there any issues, you should think about to go back to the latest Asus Stock Rom and start from there. No further experiments!) If you are sure everything is fine you may go ahead.

If I were in yours boots I would firstly delete every file belonging to #25 . Then I would download again Rom, SU and Gapps over the links in post #1.

After that make a "clean" reinstall following

exactly

Tim's instruction avoiding any deviation from it. Hopefully you will be successfully after that. Good luck! :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pe1dnn:
I agree, very unusual. The only thing I can think of is a wrong version of TWRP that just does not install the packages correctly (Another suspect could be the boot loader but since #18 is working that doesn't sound likely) .
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] compact_wisdom:
Just to be sure, are u using the same gapps u were using with #18?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ebonit:
It doesn't matter, because he made a "clean" install, as he wrote!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] compact_wisdom:
It does matter, depending on what gapps he used... recently, some gapps have been causing boot loops.

So, the more exact question would have been: "What exact version of gapps are you using".

But as long as he was using the (working) version he used on #18 before, it should not be the problem.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] silkenhut:
just to update and will try more this weekend...

I was using the files from the first thread and it would say that GAPPS wouldn't install due to incompatible OS (TWRP would also say no OS found)

KatKiss-6.0_TF300T_025.zip

BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip

open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20160320.zip

I tried using this combination but ended up in a bootloop.

KatKiss-6.0_TF300T_024.zip

I know the TF700t is supposed to be its replacement but I was wondering if that was really true. Specifically I have a lot of bluetooth issues with my 700ts. If I got a 201, has this ROM successfully been installed on it? I like that they all have the same ROM and setup. I know there was a kernel incompatibility but has it been overcome?

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] jglazer:
As stated make, sure you use the KANG TWRP

Also make certain to format your data partition with f2fs.

Additionally, you absolutely have to flash KatKiss, SuperSU and GAPPS all in one swoop without rebooting
