Hi

I installed firmware version #014 (TF300TG 16Gb) and everything works fine, when i try to install(update) version #015 or #016 I get bootloop.

Can this be fixed ?

I understand that the log files are needed, I am ready to give if you tell which files are needed

Did you wiped cache+dalvik+system before flashing?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] parradoxsvk:
I am done since now. So i decided to write it here.

Few days ago i took my old and slow tf300t and try to flash some rom. I unlocked bootloader 2years ago, but never flash anything on this tablet. I was inspirated by flashing custom rom on my smarthphone. So i found this hiped rom and decide to flash it. (TWRP 2.8.7.2 KANG, than format data and change type to f2fs, flash last KatKiss-6.0_TF300T_016, BETA-SuperSU-v2.52,open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20160128 , wipe cache/dalvik) and when i reboot device i always got stuck on asus logo (bootloop), which simetimes flash like it restart or samething. I tried older versions two or three, also the first. I tried also flash stock asus 4.1.2 and repeat the process. And also tried flashing LOLIPOP 5.1.1 but same results. From logs there was nothing suspicious only when i was flashing rom its writes "md5 matched , script succeede : result was (angle brackets) " all other things were ok i think.

So i lost my nerves on it and i am looking forward to any kind of help or i ll just stay at jallybeans forever.

Sorry for my Englisch I am not native speaker.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] jcp2:
what bootloader version are you on? Fastboot mode> the bootloader version is at the top. You must be on ASUS STOCK JB 4.2.1 BOOTLOADER VERSION ENDING IN 27.1 or 27.5. Not yelling at you, I copy and pasted from another source :) also, make sure you wipe data, cache, system in recovery mode first, then format data and change to F2FS.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] DoughMucker:
Try using the gapps from this thread. Are you sure you are using TWRP 2.8.7.2. It won't work without a recent TWRP.

Edit: check the md5 of the rom too.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] parradoxsvk:
Many many thanks jcp2 . Old bootloader was the reason of bootloop, i flash the newest stock firmware 27.5 and than repeat and it all worked :D thank you again I tought i will never make it work after 2 days of tryings. I really appreciate your fast advice. thanks
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] jcp2:
glad it worked for you. I know how frustrating it can be. :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Okiera29:
Just wanna say thanks Tim! this is a great job on an awesome ROM. Bought a 'parts' TF300T that just needed the battery reconnected. Installed your rom on it and it was great... till my cat sat on the screen. Now awaiting a new digitizer to arrive to bring the tablet back to life!

Windows 10 Explorer access to Tablet's Internal and External SD Cards

When I plug my tablet into theUSB port of my PC running Windows 10, I see an icon pop-up in Windows Explorer called TF300T. When I click on the icon, I used to be able to see two subfolders called something like "Internal SD" and "External SD". Something happened a couple months ago, and now when I click on the TF300T folder in Windows 10, I just see an empty folder and I cannot copy any files to it (a popup menu says this device is not responding). This limits my file transfers between my tablet and PC to either using WiFi or copying files onto a MicroSD card and manually inserting the MicroSD card between the PC and tablet. Does anyone know how to get my internal and external SD cards to show up in Windows 10 Explorer so I can transfer files back and forth between my PC and my tablet? Thanks so much.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Nicolas Love:
I understand your frustration. This is stupidity of Marshmallow.

After you connect your tablet to a computer, swipe the upper edge of the tablet screen. After press to "USB for charging". Touch for more options.

There will be "File transfers". Press there, and you will be able to normally transfer files between your tablet and computer. :)

Tim. Please make "File transfers" option by default after USB connection is activated. Let's fix idiocy of Marshmallow. We cannot charge TF300T from computer USB anyway. It shouldn't be by default. We need 15 V power supply for that. And I believe most of people connect tablets to computers for transferring files.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Berend de Boer:
Google Play Books shows black screen for some books, other books are OK. This worked fine with the Android 5 version of KatKiss. It only happens in "full screen" mode, if you read the book with the horizontal progress bar below it, it's fine, but that's usually too small a resolution. If you tap the page, you get the full page, and screen goes blank. Page flipping still works though, you briefly see the next page before the screen goes blank again.

It seems to happen for every scanned in books, i.e. search for "Memoirs of the Life of the Very Reverend Mr. James Fraser of Brea" and try to read it in full screen mode. Books that seem to be typeset for Play Books (perhaps epub or such) are fine.

As I use Play Books a lot, I really hope you can figure out a fix Tim! Your time is already very much appreciated, and thanks for this great ROM. The Android 6 is the best so far in this tablet.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] EgorDS:
I wipe cache+dalvik after update
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Catscratch:
You have to wipe all 3 (cache+dalvik+!!!system!!!) before flashing. Then flash rom, superSU and gapps and you're fine. To be safe do a wipe dalvik+cache (no system!) after flashing again then reboot.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Thunderbolt.00:
So I'm kinda new to this whole flashing custom ROM thing, but I managed to install Cyanogen on my tablet, it was way slower than stock so I wanted to try this ROM.

Now I'm stuck in a bootloop and can't figure out why, could it be because of my bootloader? I'm confused because everyone keeps saying I need the most recent version which is supposedly 10.6.1.27.5, but I'm on 10.6.2.11 which to me is even more recent, so I figured I'd be fine. TWRP installed with no problems at least.

I can't even downgrade it, the ASUS site doesn't have that firmware.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] gc2712:
I have made that mistake before. That bootloader version you report is for the TF300TG - the cell phone version. The highest bootloader version for the TF300T is 10.6.1.27.5. This ROM is not suitable for the TF300TG device as far as I know. The error I made was to accidentally try to install the stock firmware for the TG version on my TF300 and I bricked it.:crying:

Recovering the TF300 was quite learning experience!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Thunderbolt.00:
Oh, I thought I'd just lose the 3G functionality and otherwise be fine.

Welp, I guess I can forget about any other firmware than stock on this device since nobody seems to make that anymore

Thanks anyway.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] gc2712:
I just did a quick google search for Roms for the TF300TG and there were a number including Lollipop. So there arestill better alternatives than stock out there for you. :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Clamor:
Hi! Tim can you make tablet UI like on Pixel C?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] timduru:
recents button on right side ?

At some point it'll be more configurable, ie you can also add buttons there.

I prefer to wait until I bring back the katkiss Multiwindow buttons though.

Need to think more globally and generic as we'll have more buttons ;)

I don't see this as stupidity or idiocy for my phone, which charges quite well from my computer. I often need to charge it while keeping it close to me as I work on my desktop or laptop PCs. This it a fast simple way to accomplish that without having to lug yet another charger around. It is especially nice while in my office where all of the outlets are on the floor behind a 100 pound desk that has another 100 pounds of hardware and office supplies on top of it.

I do agree that on this device it is kind of a waste since it doesn't charge well and I don't use my tablet simultaneously with my PC. Glad to see the new version has fixed this. :good:
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] EgorDS:
I tried and a full wipe and since you advise - unfortunately it does not help.

Sometimes when tablet is booting i see screen "Timduru" and then tablet reboot.

I tried the new version 017 - the same thing :crying:
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Nicolas Love:
With all my respect to the rules on the first page

I must say that it's logical to wipe BEFORE installing. :) In case of a ROM, of course. It might be the opposite way if you install a furniture in your house. :D

Since I started to install custom ROMs, initially made by Team EOS, and later by timduru, I always wipe system, cache and dalvik first, and after install new ROM. And every time it works well. ;)

Thank you, Tim. Another problem solved. You are amazing as always!
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Nicolas Love:
Good for you. :)

But by stupidity I meant the menu to choose "charging" or "transferring files". Before Marshmallow a device could be used for transferring files and charged AT THE SAME TIME.

It is especially nice to say "45 kilograms" in addition to it, so it will make sense for about 7000000000 people in the world, including me. The sooner we get rid of the ancient and inconvenient system of measurement, the faster the world will be better. :)

:victory:

Please, send PM to me with all the details. I'll try to help.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pe1dnn:
There is no need to wipe system at all since the ROM installation will overwrite it anyway with an image. Since it will be overwitten by the ROM installation you can do it of course, but it has no affect on the result.

What is absolutely needed however it to install gapps and superSU after the ROM installation and wiping dalvik and cache before rebooting. At what step you do the wipe doesn't matter as long as it is done before rebooting. Doing it again after flashing is also an unneeded step since no program touched this after the first wipe. If you are paranoid do it at the end when everything is flashed.

When you booted the ROM without having gapps and/or superSU then you may have a problem; when flashing gapps later the applications may forced close and misbehave. In that case start all over and wipe your data too.

The correct steps are in the opening page, don't take shortcuts. Extensions like wiping system and double wipe of dalvik and cache are just operations without any effect and not needed.

Finally, make sure you have the latest ASUS bootloader, it doesn't work properly with earlier bootloaders.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pastorbob62:
Buddy, I think you need to take a chill pill. ;) But I live in the U.S. where we still use the "ancient and inconvenient system of measurement". I agree it is not the best one, but it is what it is. You understood what I was saying regardless of the system of measurement I used and regardless of whether or not you agree. Just sayin'.

Hello,

I just flashed the last version #17 and I noticed a small but annoying bug. In the main screen I can't see the wallpaper using NOVA launcher. It does not show the image even in the "kill all app" screen. Any suggestion?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] timduru:
change Settings => Display => Wallpaper Mode => Normal

For Nova you need to use a custom wallpaper (ie not one of the 4 included ones which don't work)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] MiniBlu:
I haven't tested on this version yet but on the old tf101 you could set wallpaper mode to Disable System Rendering and then in nova settings go to Desktop => Wallpaper Scrolling and set it to Force which would make nova do the rendering.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] timduru:
Ah force scrolling option, I knew there was a way to get it to render internally, but couldn't find an explicit option in Nova settings ;)

That's it, with that option

thanks for the info :)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] msssm:
I very glad, I was able to solve the issue as described in the Google Ticket by resetting all network data and re-configuring the WiFi. Now it stays connected. Don't know if there will be a bugfix.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] kjwaugh:
i'm noticing for the last few versions that my tablet is shutting down randomly. I'm not sure why, but it seems to be battery related. I keep the tf300 docked all the time and whenever this happens I have to plug it in to charge even though the dock battery shows almost a full charge - after restarting. Am I missing something- does the rom not "see" the second battery? I will provide logs if needed upon request but it seems to follow no pattern - except it seems there is less battery than it appears. BTW I used to find that other roms do manage the 2 batteries inconsistantly so I have taken to re-calibrating the battery from time to time.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] timduru:
just read 10 posts up.

The rom doesn't control the way the dock is charging the tablet.

So if the tablet battery runs flat when it's docked and that the dock still has battery,

it would be more that the dock is not charging properly the tablet or something.

Maybe some dust or issue with the connection to the tablet ?

It's annoying when you are in the middle of something of course, but I could just stay plugged in all the time. The charging lights do their thing still telling me it's fully charged but it may not be charging to the full capacity anymore. Oh well , probably time to upgrade - looking at a pixel c......
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] walttheboss:
This is 100‰ hardware issue. Could be the connector between one of the batteries and the mb. Or the docking connector. You can pop the tab open and reseat the connectors, blow out the dock connector and reseat the battery in the dock.

Tried to to a clean flash yesterday from katkiss lollipop to marshmellow v17.

Everything seemed to go ok but I don't have a play store icon?

I flashed: open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20160131.zip when I did not get a play store icon

I booted back to recovery and wiped cache/dalvik and then

I flashed: open_gapps-arm-6.0-micro-20160131.zip

I wiped cache/dalvik again.

but then I got an error message stating: Unfortunately Setup wizard has stopped during the bootup.

Am I using the correct gapps versions? If so I will try the procedure once again.

I is stated on serveral occasion to wipe everything for a clean install. Does this mean I check all the options in the advanced wipe?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] timduru:
gapps pico or nano are fine.

But yes, you should format /data when coming from lollipop

Also don't mix gapps like you did,

or forget to flash them in one shot with the rom to flash them later on,

or you'll get the gapps crashes like you got.

ie in your current state you should do:

format /data (that's not the same than wipe)

flash the 3 zips: rom + supersu + gapps

wipe cache + dalvik cache

reboot
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] -JP-:
Thanks that did the trick! (I should not have attempted this late yesterday evening :/)

As an extra, when I change the /data fs to f2fs it also formats. Is this enough or do I need to use the standard format (to ext4) first?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] timduru:
It is enough to format to f2fs.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] steven.rn:
Tim, I'm a bit embarrassed to ask, as I haven't seen any reference to dirty flashing.... but if we are already on marshmellow KitKat, is it possible to 1) reflash the ROM zips and Gapps, wipe cache and dalvik, and be done? Or should we format data every time we upgrade from one to the next?

I so appreciate you breathing life into this tablet; I'm enjoying it very much these days- more then when I first bought it!

You have to train your battery from time to time.

Undock your tablet, discharge its battery completely, then charge it until it's fully charged.

Do it regularly to keep your battery healthy. :)
