Tried without dock already and tried it again a few minutes ago. Didn't work. USB debugging is turned on too. Getting a spare cable for charging anyway, might as well try that when it arrives.

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

Another minor annoyance: with 4.0.3 and official asus drivers, the trackpad on the keyboard/dock is so sensitive for tap to click that it's almost unusable. Haven't figured out how to disable tap to click yet. Hoping it'll be easier with root privileges and a more recent operating system version. If not, hey, touch screen...

To be fair, tap to click always annoys me greatly on any laptop. It's an anti-feature with my big fingers and heavy hands. I always turn it off. If I want to "click" I'll press extra hard (Mac) or use the physical buttons (anything else).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] okbouncey:
2 new cables: same behavior. Nothing at all on a Mac. "Device Descriptor Request Failed" in Windows. Disable signed driver enforcement, still claims naked drivers aren't right for the device. APX mode (finally figured out how to do that) vs regular boot, no difference. Frustrating. Makes returning to an ancient hunter-gatherer lifestyle start to sound good.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Locura18:
If it's not an original Asus cable a lot of times it doesn't work. But you can do it all from the tablet itself. Just download everything you need to it and then root it and flash all the stuff
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] okbouncey:
Still trying to figure out how to do it all on-tablet...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Locura18:
Try rooting with king root. Then flash the TWRP version from the OP, and follow the instructions there. Then you can uninstall kingroor
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] okbouncey:
I'm looking into that. Main problems so far:

- is it king root or kingo root? confusingly similar names

- do I trust them? king root (and most other on-device rooters) seem to have a shady reputation

- kingo root gives an APK parsing error anyway

Still a lot to learn.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Locura18:
It's King root. Not the best reputation. So use and then uninstall it
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] okbouncey:
Yeah figured that out. Got it king rooted; now trying to install TWRP. "Official" TWRP installer can't decide whether to crash or just make me re-download install images. JMZ's TWRP manager insisted that I install busybox first. (Strangely enough, BB seems to be installed, but I haven't actually found a shell where I can test the commands.) Now JMZ's acts like it installs TWRP but doesn't seem to do it for real.

Progress!

Edited to add: Aha! Had to press the up-volume button immediately upon sight of the linux-like text. After powering on while holding volume-down, which I already knew about. Vol-up gets me into TWRP.

One more edit: MM installed and configuring now. Pretty neat. Is some trace of king root still around that I need to remove somehow?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] okbouncey:
At this point it's working... mostly. Sound seems to be mono not stereo, Kat Audio shows only center channel for mixer, GPS quicker-fix installer claims an unspecified error. SuperSU update says SU binary occupied - and no amount of reinstalling seems to help. Several other oddities too. And I'm not sure if king root is 100% gone yet. But generally it's working. I'll have to dig through the other 127 pages of this thread for more tips.

Big thanks to [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] for bringing this little machine back to usability! Definitely seems faster than the stock OS, and app support is much better already.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Locura18:
I'm glad you got it to work. I'm sorry I couldn't provide you with better guidance. Most of the issues you mentioned have been covered in the thread. If you wiped everything in TWRP before flashing then King root should be gone

You have to restore google play services to the original version and then prevent it from updating. do a google search on this issue and you will find the procedure for performing it. I had to do this and the procedure worked perfectly. Here you go:

trouble with root and build.prop

Hi guys. Newbie here needing some help (this isn't my first or second time flashing firmware though)

I'm trying to modify the build.prop to run an app that states the hardware is incompatible (i doubt it as its a pretty simple app, and im assuming that they didnt write in that the tf101 was ok), but im having a lot of trouble because i dont seem to have root access. I assumed that root was standard with the rom since we install supersu. ive tried using build.prop editing apps as well as navigating to the file through a file browser to manually modify.

at first when i clicked on the supersu option in the settings, the settings crash. Then when i tried installing the supersu app from the play store, it would open but say that the binary was already occupied. I also tried running kingroot which didnt work, and even tried reflashing everything (including formatting the device beforehand). nothing seems to have worked to give me root access.

Ive also tried using the twrp recovery mode to copy the file to another location, edit it, and then copy it back. however it seems that after the first time i find the build.prop file it disappears from the twrp file browser, even though i can see it when using a file browser like ex, so i cant actually replace it to complete the mod.

Can anyone tell me how to fix the root issue? Also if anyone has another fix for the 'incompatible hardware' issue id appreciate it. Its the Imperial Assault app by fantasy flight, in case anyone has already tried and fixed it. Like i mentioned its a pretty basic app (slowly moving images for the most part) and i have it working on my galaxy s3, so my gut feeling is that its not actually a hardware issue but just an oversight when the devs were programming in the compatible devices.

Sensors not working

Hi, I've updated my ancient Eee TF101 to KatKiss v. 6.0_034 and it seemed that the magnetic sensor (= compass navigation) fail to operate properly. The function restored when I got back to a backup of the original ROM. Anyone else seen this - and if so, is there some solution ? Also GPS did not find / lock on the satellites (I admit I've been outside just for a few minutes - it's cold ;))

Stuck on Marshmallow / KatKiss Bootup Logo

Hi all, let me start by giving mad props to the OP (@timduru) and all the other folks who have helped develop this ROM, troubleshoot issues with it, and continue to keep the TF101 alive. Keep up the fight against obsolescence!

Now, on to my troubleshooting issue:

I was able to successfully install KatKiss v6.0 build 34 on my TF101 using the following files (latest versions as of a few days ago) and following the instructions at the top of this thread:

KatKiss-6.0_034.zip

BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip

open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20171230.zip

On the first boot after flashing, everything went pretty smoothly. I went through the preliminary Android configuration screens, associated the device with my Google account, and started (re)downloading the apps that I used to have on the device before flashing to KatKiss. I used the device successfully for a couple hours for email etc. Later, I rebooted, and now I can never get past the Marshmallow / KatKiss bootup logo. (See attached screenshot.)

I am, however, able to still boot to recovery (TWRP v2.8.1.1). I haven't tried to reformat and reflash KatKiss, though that looks like it is still an option which I'll pursue if all else fails. But first wanted to see if others have encountered this issue and what the problem might be.

Any help would be much appreciated!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Locura18:
Try the open Gapps that are posted in the first post by the OP. I think I remember reading something about beer versions not working somewhere in this thread.

It's been discussed already
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] vnarayen:
You mean the more recent version now available on the opengapps website (open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20180105.zip)? Assuming that the ZIP filename reflects a build date and not a download date, it's only 6 days newer than what I used (open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20171230). But I guess I can give it a shot. Thanks for the tip!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Locura18:
No. I mean the old version that was available at the time the rom was made available.

There was something going on with that at some point. I don't remember exactly what it was. But it was discussed in this thread I believe.

The Kindle rom is slightly different from the Asus. I've done some of those. My wife uses a rooted 5.1 HD7 2012 herself. There is a young man of YT under the name of Tekify, who has the smoothest way to root a 2012 HD7 (camera on frt top cntr, speaker grills on back) , install TWRP and either 5.1 or 6. Alot of the procedure is the same, but you need the Kindle setup. Hope this helps. :)

borked TF

I managed to wipe everything except TWRP from my TF. That would not ordinarily be a problem but I can't see the external SD card in the dock that has the files on it AND the micro slot is borked. When I touch 'install' there are no choices yet the card HAS files on it. I have tried mounting and unmounting all things that look promising, usb-otg-1, 2 and 3 . All the things that look promising are blank. Any ideas on how to get the TF to see that card in the dock?

Thanks

Scott/wn1ytw
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] DoughMucker:
Not sure if you can. Mine can't either (but my uSD slot works). You might need to use APX mode to flash.

Edit: My SD Card might be borked. I tried copying zip files to it in KatKiss and they showed as copied, but when I booted to TWRP, the file manager couldn't see them...they actually didn't copy. But I can see existing folders on the card. It shows up as usb-otg-1. TWRP is v 2.8.1.1. Maybe try using a different file system for the SD Card.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] MiniBlu:
Remove dock, connect tablet to PC then in twrp mount mtp then transfer install files to internal SD then install from there. If you have problems with mtp use ADB to push install files to internal SD.

PS For me also fat32 formatted USB sticks worked in twrp.

need some help...

I have a stock Asus eee pad Transformer tf 101.

I want to upgrade to a newer version of Android (6.0) and while I understand the concept of flashing I'm kinda confused. Where do I begin? I've downloaded all the files to a flash card. Now what do I do?

I was under the impression that all I had to do is load everything on a flash card,then reboot and everything would be done automatically.

So what's next?

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RedNak71:
Its quite a bit more involved than that, but not difficult. YouTube how to root the tablet and installed TWRP. Follow the instructions exactly. I recommend watching the whole process first before you proceed just to make sure you understand.

I am using Fully Kiosk Browser (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.ozerov.fully) to view my home automation dashboard on the TF101, but some elements on that page are not rendered correctly.

They advised my to update System Webview (version 44 installed currently). To do so, the Xposed module WebViewGoogle is needed (http://repo.xposed.info/module/net.typeblog.webview). After installing and activating that Xposed module, Fully Kiosk Browser and the stock Browser apps are crashing on starting.

Had anyone any luck with this Xposed Module to use a newer version of the Android System Webview on the TF101 with this 6.0.1 ROM?

Would you guys ever consider porting this rom over to the ASUS transformer TRIO, or the Memo pad 10 ME302c (identical devices), the Dell venue 7, & a few others are also similar devices. I know I know its x86 intel but we could use a dev and these 2 devices can share the same rom. I know i know you guys dont have the device, but I'm fully willing to test and test and test. Our kernel code is available for either device and I can get a few owners together for the port. Its a transformer thang.. So help a fellow transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JJHiemenz:
Thanks for the work Timduru.

I am experiencing constant and random reboots on my SL101, otherwise, I actually would have no complaints. The random reboots make me sad. I can not shut down. A power off results in a reboot as well.

Disabling bluetooth and GPS seem to help with the random reboots, but have no effect on simply trying to power off.

My poweroff solution thus far is to longpress the reboot, so the tablet reboots into recovery, then I can choose 'Reboot -> Power Off' from the recovery menu.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xdause:
do you have magisk/exposed installed? is your google apps set to autoupdate? Disable the previous with a new install preferably and see if anything changes.

TF101 for development

Hi [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] ,

it's time to retire my TF101. If you have any need for it, I'll gladly send it to you -- you extended its life by a couple of years, easily. Let me know

Hi there,

I have been using this ROM on my old TF101 tablet for w while now, but since a couple of months, i suddenly have these strange bootloops which don't stop, and i have to reinstall the rom. At first the time between bootloops and a reinstall was a few weeks. Lately the timeframe is getting smaller and smaller, and i had to do a reinstall last week and now again because the tablet won't come out of bootloop.

I already tried wiping cache/dalvik but it doesn't help.

Is it a known issue in the rom or is it possible that the tablet is failling and becoming end of llife? If it is the tablet, is there any way i can check this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xdause:
most bootloops and problems were from play store updates. I guess you can either not install gapps or not install google apps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Walthor:
Thanks for the reply! :)

unfortunatly google play is kinda required to have on the tablet to download apps and games because i am not the only one that uses the tablet.

Guess i'll have to keep it like this than :(.

thnx again for the help :)

Many thanks for your work, support and effort, timduru!

Hi timduru.

I have got the tf101 since 2011 with Android 3 and your work, your effort and your help to keep this tablet on a current and stable android version was incredible. :victory:

Sure, there are a lot of newer, faster and better tablets, but in my holidays, the tablet is still used as e-reader and musicplayer and it works like a charm - because of your support. ;)

Sad to hear, but of course understandable, you want to stop the support for new builds for this tablet after all this time. :(

Please continue developing solutions for other tablets and communities and have fun as long as you can. :good:

Yours sincerely and very grateful :cool:

I managed to stumble across a fix for this today, after trying to bring my TF101 back from the dead.

Seems that "there is a problem with the Setup Wizard on arm64 gapps" which is causing the bootloop to occur.

To resolve, I wiped the entire tablet (cache/davlik/system/data/storage) and reinstalled KatKiss, SuperSU and the latest version of GApps 6 pico (which was 20180802 as of this reply). Then, after installing GApps with TWRP, I cleared cache and davlik and then mounted system from TWRP, went to the "Advanced" tab, click on "terminal command" and selected the root / directory and typed in the following:

echo "ro.setupwizard.mode=DISABLED" >> /system/build.prop

This will disable the Setup Wizard that you see when you boot the tablet for the first time. (which seems to be what is causing the bootloop).

I found the original answer for this in another thread on here for a different device (https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/help/bootloop-flashing-gapps-8-1-t3764334) but thankfully it did the trick!

Hope this helps anyone else trying to breath life into their old TF101 devices as well :)

Update: Looks like installing latest version of SuperSU binary has triggered the bootloop again, even with having this edit in place... *sigh*
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NoViolence:
Not working.

Still bootloops without updating SuperSU :(
