I did a dirty flash when I updated to v13. But the first time I flashed Nougat it was a clean flash.

I didn't have some issues on Nougat, just that its laggy and slow.

Now I'm back on Marshmallow and it is an incredible difference in performance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MartinAdebahr:
Hi

I have two questions.

I have an older TWRP version installed 2.2.x.x and stock JB 4.1.1 bootloader. You state that "YOU MUST BE ON JB 4.2.1 BOOTLOADER VERSION 10.6.1.27.1 AND TWRP 2.8.0.0+ BEFORE FLASHING THIS ROM"

1. How do I flash to 4.2.1 bootloader?

2. How do I flash TWRP 2.8.0.0+ of TF201? On TWRP site the highest revision of TWRP for TF201 is twrp-2.6.3.0

I cannot find that info on the other site linked from this post. http://xdaforums.com/show...04&postcount=2
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goosebickel:
You need to follow the instructions on this thread first

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2407248

Flash hairybean upgrade zip

This will repartition your tf201 so it thinks its an tf300!

It will wipe all data

Then flash the latest twrp from here

https://xdaforums.com/transformer-prime/development/recovery-kang-twrp-tf201t-2-8-x-xarea51-t3047675

At the end of that you will be fine tho flash katkiss with no problems.

Make sure you read all the instructions carefully.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MartinAdebahr:
Ok, thanks for the fast response.

1. Is is the latest stable version TWRP 2.8.5.1@area51 kang?

2. One thing that strikes me at the Hairybean flash instrictions:

"DO NOT INSTALL ANY OTHER PRIME RECOVERY WHILE USING THE NEW HAIRYBEAN 2.31 (4.2.1) BOOTLOADER, THEY ARE NOT COMPATIBLE AT THE MOMENT, THE ONE BUILT IN IS MODDED. USE THE DOWNGRADE ZIP TO TAKE YOU BACK TO 4.1.1 BOOTLOADER AND RECOVERY IF YOU NEED IT."

If I flash the latest TWRP on the thread you supplied, will that mean that Hairybean will not boot after that, but I just go ahead and flash 6.0.1?

3. You said that I then can flash katkiss, do I need to install katkiss before KatshMallow?

What about the question 2 ? Any input?

2. One thing that strikes me at the Hairybean flash instrictions:

"DO NOT INSTALL ANY OTHER PRIME RECOVERY WHILE USING THE NEW HAIRYBEAN 2.31 (4.2.1) BOOTLOADER, THEY ARE NOT COMPATIBLE AT THE MOMENT, THE ONE BUILT IN IS MODDED. USE THE DOWNGRADE ZIP TO TAKE YOU BACK TO 4.1.1 BOOTLOADER AND RECOVERY IF YOU NEED IT."

If I flash the latest TWRP on the thread you supplied, will that mean that Hairybean will not boot after that, but I just go ahead and flash 6.0.1?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goosebickel:
This ROM is based on you having the hairybean.zip installed on your prime.

Most ROMs for the prime are now based on having hairybean installed now.

Back when hairybean first came out, that warning was to stop you flashing tf201 recovery, because it turns it into a tf300, which this rom is.

It is very confusing I know, but it is fine with anything based on tf300.

All [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] based ROMs require hairybean.zip.

Hope that helps
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MartinAdebahr:
Ok thanks, so if I keep the 4.2.1 Bootloader, I can install any TWRP version released after the TWRP version bundeled with the 4.2.1 bootloader? And it will still work?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goosebickel:
Yes, should be fine
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MartinAdebahr:
One final? question.

I am on hairybean now, and is about to flash a new TWRP in order to be able to upgrade to KatshMallow 6.0.1.

I got an link to TWRP 3.0.2.0 by Captain_Throwback in a previews post. I noticed that this was an .img, previously I have only flashed .blob files.

I started to research a bit more to avoid mistakes and I noticed that in some examples given in different threads that there are apparently two different command arguments being used.

1. fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob

2. fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging twrp.img

Whats the difference between recovery and staging arguments?

What shall I use to flash the "twrp-3.0.2-0-tf201t.img" file?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goosebickel:
It is a lot easier just to upgrade to 3.0.0 first, because you can just flash from within twrp as a zip file, then with that twrp installed it has the option to flash image files from within that version of twrp.

Saves messing around with fastboot.

Make sure you rebbot back into system after every time you flash something, or until the blue line fills on reboot at least.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65372017&postcount=83
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MartinAdebahr:
Thanks, but this gave me a bunch of new questions : )

1. How do I flash this? the zip consist of a folder "META-INF" and a "._boot.blob" file. What am I supposed to do with those?

2. I can not find a MD5 checksum.

3. What does the fastboot argument look like when using this?

Or do I just install this zip from Hairbean TWRP? Maybe that is exactly what you mean... just want it confirmed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goosebickel:
Just install from within twrp
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MartinAdebahr:
Thanks. Lucky for me that you provided the option to install this zip instead of fastboot flash. I discovered that the USB option was gone in Hairybean TWRP and that I get some sort of error message when booting bootloader.

Have changed to TWRP 3.0.0.0 and are currently formatting data, seems to work despite error messages.... cross fingers.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goosebickel:
No problem, happy to help.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lazuhrus:
Been using the ROM for a week now, wow, nice work! Was only using it for SiriusXM, now it's usable for general purpose again. One minor question, I've not been able to get any battery status on the dock besides the one on the notification bar, and no power history for the dock on that. Tried Dual BatteryWidget and two other apps that I'm airbraining on. Any suggestions?

Help needed.....

after i had flashed this rom earlier it loaded into the system but after rebooting it got stuck on the splash screen. This was a while ago...

All it had was the "this device is unlocked and would keep rebooting. By pressing power and volume down there was a message stating that key driver not found and even couldnt get through recovery, all it did was display twrp splash screen and restart.

Today i tried the following steps.

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot>fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase misc

fastboot erase cache

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system

The last command was completed in a few seconds and was flashing the blob.bin file. Now i have managed to install twrp 2.8.3.0. but only some part of the touchscreen is working.

i had done the nvflash thing earlier and have all the files.

Can anything be done to recover the tab. really want to install nougot on it.

Any help is highly appreciated

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo4sickness:
Ok guys got some simple questions

I have TF201 Prime that I have not used in while. I have been wanting to start using it again. It has been running slow since I have Cyanogen Mod 9 on it so like I said its been while lol.

I want v29 Marsh mellow 6.0. I have read alot of these posts and getting confused. Now I have Rom Manager CWM v5.0.1.1

Can I use this version of CWM to flash the New 6.0 Marshmellow?

I was about to download the zip and decided I should ask you guys first you being the professionals and again I have not flashed any roms in long time since 2012.

Please let me know if can use CWM what would I have to download or should I just update it to the latest version. I dot not see why I would not be able to use it but that is why I am asking.

Thank you for your time and help.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo4sickness:
Hey guy I posted this more than a day ago and not one reply and anyone please answer thank you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goosebickel:
If you read my posts from 2 pages back, it should get you up to speed on what you need to do
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo4sickness:
OK one question to be able to swtich from CWM to TWRP so I can use the correct boot loader can I use Recover Tools app to be able to finally switch and start the process. It seems extremely easy and it doesnt even have load into recovery.

If not How do I get rid of the CWM so I can download the TWRP boot loader. Also I saw tha TWRP also has an app can use that to install the right version I need for my Tf201?

Once I do this than I can finally download Hairybeam to be able to finally download the 6.0 Marshmallow right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goosebickel:
1-You will need a micro SD to save a few files(listed below) and a copy of this ROM (Katshmallow v29).

Plus any data you wish to keep that is on your tablet now.

2-Place "twrp1.img" onto the root of your /sdcard. Flash from terminal within the tablet. Open a terminal emulator within android and type "su" (no quotes) to get root access. Then type "dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4" (no quotes)

3-Restart tablet into current ROM, this will install a twrp recovery for the bootloader you are on now.

4-Restart tablet and enter recovery, make a nandroid backup, and save them on your micro usb. Because next step will wipe your data completely.

5-Install hairybeanupgrade.zip

Click restart after completion and on restart LET THE BLUE LINE FILL ALL THE WAY, WHEN IT IS FINISHED IT WILL RESTART ITSELF BACK INTO TWRP OR INTO OS.

If the Tablet does not boot back into TWRP or OS then hold down Power and VOLUME DOWN for 10 seconds until it restarts and the icons appear. Then select RCK manually.

6-Install twrp3.0.0.0.zip

This will install twrp version 3.0.0.0, which is what you need to install the ROM on the OP.

You need to restart tablet again Click restart after completion and on restart LET THE BLUE LINE FILL ALL THE WAY.

If the Tablet does not boot back into TWRP or OS then hold down Power and VOLUME DOWN for 10 seconds until it restarts and the icons appear. Then select RCK manually.

7-Go into wipe/advanced wipe, select "Data" ONLY, then "repair or change file system", then "change file system", then select "F2FS"

You may need to restart recovery after this.

8-Install Katmallowv29.zip from your micro SD, restart tablet and it will hopefully boot into this ROM!

If you wish to go back too your original ROM, you will need to install the hairybean downgrade zip, then restore the nandroid you made in step 4.

It will wipe your data again though, so backup files.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] goosebickel:
Added another step, forgot about converting data partition to f2fs!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo4sickness:
Thanks allot Goosebickel.

If there is anyone else on the thread please let me know as Goosebickel has done a great job to help me out.

When I tried the code in the terminal for some reason it keeps on giving me not found when I have made sure that the twrp1.img file is for sure on the root of my sd cars on the internal memory of my prime. We keep getting the same answer not found.

He looked for another solution which was to install the Red Viruses Stock Jelly bean which would come with the JB boot loader which is what we need.

The problem was when we went to this page https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2038464

The link for the download is there but it wont download the actually zip file at all. It keeps on generating adds upon adds. It worked once but downloaded a zip that as first .exe than one with only 6 mb.

If anyone has the this zip please attach it so I can download and be able to fix this mission of problem I am having.

This sis the name of the zip

WW_epad-user-redvirus-10.4.2.15.zip - 336.68 MB

I'll give this a try too. I noticed my tablet never went into deep sleep when I looked at the frequency table in Kernel Adiutor after it sat for about 7-8 hours. I thought in a previous post you said you would package the compatibility zip in the rom zip?

Update: I assume the compatibility zip modifies the kernel? Kernel Adiutor is back to crashing when I try to run it.

Update 2: Confirmed deep sleep is working using the app CPU Spy.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Namidairo:
You should probably edit the OP. I'm 99% sure that you're running 3.1.10 not 3.10 since nvidia dropped Tegra 3 support from their kernels long before they got to 3.10

Anyway yeah, it's probably BCMDHD causing reboots if memory serves.

Thanks for this ROM. It's yet another device of mine that you have saved :) This ROM is incredible! Going from stock, I've noticed it's several times as fast! I really don't feel the need of buying new tablet anymore - you've saved me a lot of money. On stock, I couldn't even browse the internet - all I could do sort of painlessly was reading PDFs without any multitasking. Even writing in a simple text editor was laggy. Now everything works so smooth it's just amazing - browsers, pdfs, movies, multitasking with split screen (something I haven't even thought about seriously when reading about this ROM)... BTW I'm using Deadline instead of bfq and it also does the job.

Some people have mentioned screen flickering : had this problem too, but it's enough to disable auto adjusting brightness in screen Settings and the problem is gone. Barely noticable flickers are present when the brighthness is set to the lowest level, but it's enough to set it slightly higher and the problem goes away. As I've mentioned it's barely noticable anyway and you're not going to use this minimum brightness level that often.

It is still hosted. I've installed 2.8.3 yesterday following the guide in the KatKiss thread for Prime.

BTW can I safely flash the TWRP 3.0.2 version that you've mentioned via fastboot, replacing TWRP 2.8.3? I've tried to install .img using Kang TWRP 2.8.5 yesterday and nearly bricked my device, had to erase all the partitions and reinstall stock firmware.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nektopoli:
You should flash the latest .ZIP version of TWRP for our tablets, it will allow you to flash .IMG files from the recovery console. I did have to flash my tablet from my laptop after I bricked it but it was a 3.x.x.x version.
