[Asus Transformer TF700] loner.:
The oldest device I have, that I still use, can not only use the original JB android but the very latest MM android with dependable updates and everything in between. But the device I purchased a month ago has android 5.0 and a update by the manufacturer to android 6.0 is doubtful and independent support is very slim so far. Is what little support we had from the manufacturers going to completely go away with little to no independent development? Scary thought.
[Asus Transformer TF700] GKraemer:
timduru,

Thanks for your outstanding work on this ROM and MM 6.0.1!

I just updated my stock ASUS TF700T to MM 6.0.1, KatKiss - KatshMallow #017.

So far it is running great! I'm still astounded how fast the TWRP Nandroid backup went!

[Asus Transformer TF700] ganggreen777:
Thanks for your direction....here's the latest....

I flashed the latest twrp I tried your link to (twrp) and kangs latest....they both flashed....(i think) following your directions

I ran adb shell >> error: device '<null>' not found

meanwhile i ran the command fastboot device and all the numbers and letters showed up so I know my windows pc 8+ recognized it.....

ALSO.....I boot it into the recovery and it gets to teamwin recovery page.....it stalls and goes right back into a bootloop of the ASUS logo....

I am completely perplexed......

This all came about when I was transferring files and then it when into a bootloop and it has'nt come back from it...

PLEASE I dont know what else to do

Also....when i did adb shell

*daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037*

daemon started successfully *

error: device '<null>' not found
[Asus Transformer TF700] sam369:
Did you run the adb shell commands after flashing TWRP 2.6.1.0?

You must first enter TWRP then run the commands.

Could you enter TWRP 2.6.1.0 after flashing it?

Flash latest TWRP only after you format /data successfully.

If it's a problem with corrupted /cache, the procedure also works, but you need to revise the commands.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ganggreen777:
Thats the deal (problem) it won't go into TWRP

(it shows the 4 penquins on top left....comes to the light blue color of 'team recovery' screen....then........it bootloops back into the asus logo screen and continues to bootloop
[Asus Transformer TF700] GKraemer:
---------------------------------------------------------------

I just updated my ASUS TF700T today.

Practice/Background Info (Do not perform at this time)!

Power down your tablet and disconnect it from the dock

Push and hold the Volume Down key (left side of the rocker) and the Power key until you feel the tablet vibrate twice. Let go when you see the tiny script. Read it and it tells you that your tablet is now in fastboot mode and you will see three icons (I assume again you are on a JB 4.2 bootloader. In older bootloaders you had 4 icons and had to select the USB icon to get into fastboot mode):

RCK - (which should be flashing) is your recovery (the stock recovery at this point, but once TWRP is installed this is one way to get into it)

Android - is your system, selecting it boots you back to into your ROM.

Wipe Data - stay away! Especially with custom software installed never, ever use this option!

To toggle between the three icons use Volume Down, to select one use Volume Up. Try it but do not push Volume Up when the 'Wipe data' icon is flashing!

Perform the following:

1. Make sure you have USB drivers, adb, and fastboot installed on your computer. Copy twrp_tf700t_kang_2.8.7.4.img to the same subdir.

2. Power down your TF700T and disconnect from the dock.

3. Open a CMD window where adb, fastboot, and twrp_tf700t_kang_2.8.7.4.img are located.

4. Boot tablet into fastboot.

Fastboot does not play well with USB 3.0, so use a USB 2.0 port for this. And no hubs and such....

Boot the tablet into fastboot mode and connect it to your computer via the original USB cable.

5. From the CMD window, run:

fastboot devices

If that command returns a string of numbers and letters, you are good as gold.

If it returns: "No devices found", fastboot is not working - yet - and you have to troubleshoot.

6. From the CMD window, run:

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp_tf700t_kang_2.8.7.4.img

7. Once flashed, reboot.

CMD command line:

fastboot reboot

and let the tablet boot up normally.

Booting back into the (not rooted) stock rom you may get a dialog from TWRP asking you if you want to root.

You can accept or cancel it - doesn't matter. I assume you are going to install a custom rom and they are rooted anyway.

Now you should be able to:

Power down TF700T.

Push and hold the Volume Down key (left side of the rocker) and the Power key until you feel the tablet vibrate twice,

then see three icons, 'RCK', 'ANDROID', and 'WIPE DATA'.

Move between icons using the 'Vol DN' button; select using 'Vol UP'. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER select 'Wipe data'!

Select 'RCK' (Recovery) and the TWRP program should allow you to start wiping and formatting /data.

Make sure MicroSD is not mounted, wiped, or formatted! It is your 'exernal' SD Card!

After you format /data to the new format, you can now install the latest TWRP version by repeating the above steps.

CREATE a NANDROID Backup using 'TWRP'! You will have to mount your MicroSD card.

Now proceed to install the ROM, SuperSU, and Gapps files using TWRP. Uncheck 'Verify Zip' since the files are not signed.

[Asus Transformer TF700] sam369:
With either TWRP? The linked TWRP 2.6.1.0 solved similar problem of mine and toory's. Then, I don't know what the solution is.

Maybe [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION] can chime in.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ganggreen777:
Ive tried latest kang twrp and the twrp link that was provided....

It seems like it goes into twrp opening screen then jumps into a bootloop
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
latest TWRP versions tends to do that if it cannot mount cache and/or data,

would be interesting to try to solve that, as if we do we could most likely just run a fsck onto the partitions from the recovery and keep userdatas instead of formating.

But for the moment, do that:

Enter the tablet into fastboot mode

then:

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

do not interrupt the process, these can take a while.

then reboot to recovery

If that doesn't work

try to force format

fastboot format cache

fastboot format userdata
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
A recovery.log and/or dmesg (or last_kmsg after the reboot) would be interesting. There should be a time window between the TWRP splash screen appearing and the tablet rebooting where adb works.

Maybe we need to introduce a "safe boot mode" to TWRP that doesn't try to mount anything.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
would definitely be a nice addition I think. :)

I've not been able to reproduce the issue easily, I tried corrupting the cache and data partitions with writing zero while mounted,

but twrp seems to detect it fine and does not mount them on the next reboot.

So it must be very specific cases that are causing issues.. difficult to know.

I wonder if removing the errors=panic from the fstab options would be enough for such cases maybe, or does twrp not use these options to mount ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jack Loos:
At last happy with my Asus TF700T

This is the first time ever, I react on this forum.

I Have my Asus TF700T now for about 4 years.

In the beginning it worked smoothly, but became more and more slow.

After having some problems with the docking of the tablet (as everybody knows)

and 2 repairs of the motherboard in Brno by Asus, I finally managed to unlock the tablet.

From 1 year ago trying to get an OS that gives my Asus more speed.

Did read myself in and tried various cromi - zombi - cynagen - roms.

Finally took the shot and from yesterday installed Katkiss MM 6.0.1.

What a relief, to have my tablet up and running as a new one.

Thank you verry much for your work Tim !!!!

You make me happy

:laugh:
[Asus Transformer TF700] ganggreen777:
Guys since my tablet is in this pickle jar perhaps I can do the logs needed....(I would assume) you would want a log from when it goes into twrp splash screen and then it goes into bootloop ...(can't remember log commands...I want to help best I can

---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------

Timduru.....how will I know when it is done clearing cache .....AND userdata...since it could take a bit of time?

I will definitely do this all when I get home from work

Just wanted to say thanks [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] for your work, used your Rom on the t100.

A little confused about kernel talk for fixing Bluetooth.

Will wait for your next official update...

the ONE
[Asus Transformer TF700] sam369:
[MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] Have you tried to force restart the tablet when formatting /cache or /data in TWRP? I believe that can reproduce the issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
didn't work nope.

Tried interrupting format or dev/zeroing.

AFAIK he has a TF201.

BT works fine with the TF300 too.

The thing is that using the older driver in your repacked kernel will bring back more wifi and other issues,

so for the moment I prefer better wifi and broken BT.

And I think most will do too.

If you want to post your modified kernel zip, feel free to do so for those who'd need it with the proper warnings, but not in this thread as to avoid confusing users.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sam369:
WIFI works fine for me. The problem is that maybe I did not keep track all changes I made after installing the ROM, so the things packed may not be the ones I am using. Nonetheless, I will see if I can delete some of the posts and attachments if they do more harm than good. I am sure you or other members who know this more than me can figure it out.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
twrp.fstab doesn't usually contain that flag. I don't know if it would work or what the default is.

But f2fs is known to cause kernel panics if it finds some bad inconsistency in the filesystem structures.
[Asus Transformer TF700] loaded_dog:
Wow - this awesome!!!

Like a previous poster, I tried 'em all. Stock, CM, CROMI, ZOMBI...

This is a breath of fresh air.

Thank you!
[Asus Transformer TF700] n8w:
That definitely wasn't intended towards you, and I certainly know better than to think that would elicit help from anyone. I figured flashing that would be a gamble, so once I got everything back to normal I learned my lesson to just wait for Bluetooth to be fixed in the rom, and had no interest in trying to make that "fix" work. My apologies for coming off otherwise.

---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------

Did you do a dirty or clean flash?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jja2000:
Dirty flash, shouldn't matter right?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jkeskir:
I had also boot loop after dirty flash. Fresh install fixed problem.
[Asus Transformer TF700] n8w:
I've had to do fresh installs each time. Not sure why, but I'd get bootloops too when dirty flashing.

[Asus Transformer TF700] ganggreen777:
*****well goddang that frkn WORKED.. thanks a whole lot guys...thanks Tinduru......

Got back in my tablet.... I cleaned everything.... And reflashed...like first initial setup....

So I try to download tibu...and I received error (I think) 632_not sure the numbers(not in front of me right now)I googled it...a suggested solution was to clear play store (I did) or not to except updated play store... Well its the mist updated version (pico)

Tried to DL esExplorer same...

What do you guys think.... (Had to go out for a bit) I will try again...but perhaps your awesome suggestions to fix hopefully....

Thanks guys
[Asus Transformer TF700] n8w:
So far so good :)

I actually dirty flashed this time, and realized I'd probably been doing it wrong before, as I was just flashing the rom. Whoops. That's what kids will do to you. I had to tap the BT button a couple times, but I got my keyboard synced right up, and best of all, there's no lag when typing now!
[Asus Transformer TF700] ganggreen777:
Guys anyone have a solution to getting a wallpaper to 'stick' on home screen?
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
see post 2
[Asus Transformer TF700] -=bhf=-:
The whole wallpaper thing seems to be tricky, to say the least. So, I use Nova Prime as Launcher and the wallpaper sticks. But it is in black and white, while the picture in the Gallery is in color. No Idee how this could happen. Are there any restrictions considering color depth or anything?

Edit: Disregard, it is the particular file. Other wallpapers are of course in living color.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ChefChaudart:
I (dirty)installed latest version, but now it says I have to install Google Play Services ?

Have to install Gapps ? never did it before ? ( i know, it's written in op )

[Edit] Re-installing Gapps gives multiple errors.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jacobsensei:
Latest working well, Bluetooth however goes from mute -> too loud.

It steps up but starts from too loud.

Can't seem to find a work workaround.

Anyone else?

Thanks.

[Asus Transformer TF700] hugiz:
I sadly installed this version of Katkiss but wifi doesn't work. Previously i was running on the 5.1 version of katkiss wihout issues.

To install the #018 version I did the full wipe for internal storage, system and cache, then I format the data, covert to F2FS, install the .zip, SU, and the gapps, wiped dalvik.

It boots whitout issues, then when I want to connect it says "connexion" then "registred" and after "wifi connection failed".

I tried 3 times with #017 and once with the last version #018. I enabled, disabled the wifi, restarted many times the tablet...

I changed the regulatory domain, same issue

I flashed grimlock kernel too, same issue

I don't know what to do, any ideas ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] nate39:
I am dirty flashing #18 right now. One thing I have found with this ROM in all versions is that I cannot flash anything from my external SD card. I have to flash from internal storage. Does anyone know why this might be? Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] thierry77c:
Sorry but just one question: what is the number of the last good twrp?
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
If you had the play store then you did install it before.

And yes you need to flash all 3 zips everytime as written in the 1st post.

If you flash the rom without the gapps then reboot,

it'll fail even if you flash the gapps later on.

=> full wipe then reflash rom + supersu + gapps.

Just tried it with different apps , and no issues for me.

When you unmute it goes to the latest set sound level basically.

so if you were at max , it'll go at max, but you can lower the level and when you mute / unmute it'll go back to that level

Give usefull information like the type of security you have set on your router, which channel you're using, if you're using mac filtering and so on.

and post a set of logs

(follow the How to Report procedure)

Just follow the link in the install instruction in the 1st post.
[Asus Transformer TF700] n8w:
I thought I already posted this, but nice work on the Bluetooth. I did have to give it a couple taps to turn on, but it was smooth sailing after. There's some lag when typing, but it looks to be app specific rather than a tablet issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] thierry77c:
Thank you very much! I am very happy now the bluetooth work very fine. I upgrate 17 to 18 with a dirty flash and all works very good. So thanks again. ??
[Asus Transformer TF700] GKraemer:
timduru,

Thank you for the '018' update. My TF700T runs cooler using this version.

Outstanding work to make the TF700T usable again!

I appreciate your hard work!

Thank You again!
[Asus Transformer TF700] ganggreen777:
Yea I tried everything about the wallpaper thing....followed op to the 't' and tried Nov (which I use) and followed those directions and nova looks like its tripping on acid ....so I have a BLACK dark screen, tried rebooting and all that jazz notta ....so...boring screen

[Asus Transformer TF700] jcp2:
Great job Timduru :) Found a bug tho. When I turn on bluetooth, it says 'TF300' is discoverable. It should be 'TF700'

Typo is all.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jcp2:
yeah, I know. But The Mrs. has a TF300 and it gets a little confusing when they are both on.

Can anyone help with the GAPPS selection. I am the one were one of my tablets is having the camera issue. If I get the stock instead of pico is there a chance that might fix my problem? is there a difference in the camera drivers from the stock to the pico package. cheers for your help guys.

Edit: just to include I already tried downloading google camera from the play store. it didn't fix the problem. would that be the same as getting the stock Gapps?

you're not supposed to flash that,

Just wanted to say thanks to Tim and the effort on this ROM. I've tried Crombi-KK, Zombi-Pop, and now this one. So far this ROM has been the most consistent performer for what I do. Kudos!
[Asus Transformer TF700] eagleeye2016:
I think this latest 18 update might have fixed my camera issues. I noticed on my other tablet that was fine before, if I switch quickly between camera and video it would crash like the other. That's with rapid changing. Not normal use. So I just used to pico with v18.

TWRP 3.0.0-0 Released

Feb 5, 2016

TWRP 3.0.0-0 is out now for all currently supported devices.

What’s new in 3.0.0-0:

Completely new theme - Much more modern and much nicer looking (by z31s1g)

True Terminal Emulator - Includes arrow keys, tab and tab completion, etc. (by _that)

Language translation - It won’t be perfect and especially some languages that require large font files like Chinese & Japanese won’t be availble on most devices. Also some languages may only be partially translated at this time. Feel free to submit more translations to OmniROM’s Gerrit. (mostly by Dees_Troy)

Flashing of sparse images - On select devices you will be able to flash some parts of factory images via the TWRP GUI (by HashBang173)

Adopted storage support for select devices - TWRP can now decrypt adopted storage partitions from Marshmallow

Reworked graphics to bring us more up to date with AOSP - includes support for adf and drm graphics (by Dees_Troy)

SuperSU prompt will no longer display if a Marshmallow ROM is installed

Update exfat, exfat fuse, dosfstools (by mdmower)

Update AOSP base to 6.0

A huge laundry list of other minor fixes and tweaks

WARNING: This is our first release in a long time. We have a lot of new and somewhat aggressive changes in this new release. The changes to the graphics back-end may cause some devices to not boot up properly or have other display-related issues. If you are not in a position to reflash an older build of TWRP, then wait until you are or at least wait until others have tried the new version for your specific device. You don’t want to end up with a non-working recovery and have to wait several hours or days to get to a computer to be able to fix it.

[Asus Transformer TF700] GP99:
Hi

First of all, thank you for this incredible ROM! I used it for some days now and like it very much.

My only issue is that I can't install SuperSU. I followed all the steps coming from stock (kang twrp, changed /data filesystem to f2fs, flashed ROM/gapps/superSU and wiped dalvik/cache). During the installation of SuperSU I get the following message "Boot image patcher failed" and then it aborts.

I used the 2.67 BETA linked on the first page. Could this be because I sideload these zips instead of copying them on an SD card and then installing?
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
Use the SuperSU 2.52 from the 1st post.
[Asus Transformer TF700] GP99:
Thanks a lot! How did I get to 2.67? hmmm. At least it works now
[Asus Transformer TF700] timduru:
The link was pointing to the SuperSU Beta thread which used to have 2.52, but it got recycled and pointed to 2.67 early February

so I added 2.52 in the 1st post a few days ago instead of the link.

So if you got it in between, that would be why you ended up downloading 2.67.

Gapps Install issue

Hey timduru,

I'm having lots of issues trying to install GAPPS from that link. I have tried pico, nano, even aroma (also included md5 files for all) and it's all giving me the same error 6, I have wiped all and reinstall the same way you mention in your first post but at Gapps it is where it stops working. I can run the Rom perfectly fine, but that's it. Is there anything I've missed??
[Asus Transformer TF700] GrimSage:
Now that bluetooth is supported, I decided to jump in.

I am going on a half hour and it is still sitting at "Formatting Data using make_ext4fs function."

Doing a adb shell ps =wlT doesnt show anything unsual and I dont actually see make_ext4fs or the like running.

Does anyone know about how long do the format of /data usually takes?
[Asus Transformer TF700] hardslog:
Formatting to EXT4 can take up to 2 hours. Just let it sit and do it's thing :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] GrimSage:
So now that ext4 format is done, I am unable to change /data to f2fs

I get an Erorr changing file system I am on twrp 2.8.7.0

[Asus Transformer TF700] hugiz:
Thanks for your answer I searched on the thread but it looks like I'm the only one inthis case.

My router/internet configuration didn't change and this was working with your 5.1 version, no mac filtering, security is WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES], 2.4ghz and 5ghz enabled and I flashed with the recommended gapps and SU linked in the thread.
