Setup wizard has stopped

I've followed the instructions for setup, formatting /data, setting /data to f2fs, then installing these files

KatKiss-7.1_TF700T_027.zip

open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20180309.zip

UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.82-20170528234214.zip

I'm using twrp_tf700t_kang_2.8.7.4-signed.zip as the recovery

On reboot it sends me to the setup wizard, and welcomes me,asking to copy the data or install as new. Regardless of the option chosen, I immediately get a box that says "Setup Wizard has stopped" and gives me the option of "Open app again", which just restarts and back to the same.

BTW, if I click on "Vision settings" it immediately says "Settings has stopped"

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Sweet TY Tim. Since so many links are down now, I took my whole folder and zipped it and uploaded to a file sharing site. Here's a picture X3 of most of what is in the various folders of the Rar zipped file. Feel free to DL, this is

many

days of hunting and gathering. Of course, substitute Tim's newest build instead of the older build in the file. Everything else, TWRP, Gapps should be the same. This also includes the V7 and V8 unlock tool from Asus, return to stock, screenshots to explain steps, etc. Even some disaster recovery programs. These are clean files I used on my own TF701T's, I have 2. I have no plans on taking file this down anytime soon, so hope it helps. TY to everyone that worked and is still working on this tablet. We use ours daily.

Files included in Rar file. https://postimg.org/gallery/yhpm76om/

Here's the actual DL link to the Rar'd file (2.2gb). https://mega.nz/#!9CZhyIyL!c1Dj11Mp1MOIaP8AaUlYo_511eOLPPN11UN_OhL164

When you flash KatKiss, do

NOT

flash Gapps or Su with it.

JUST KattKIss

. Boot into it, connect wireless.

THEN

boot back to recovery and flash Gapps and Su. Google just put out a major Google Play Store update, it hit my tablets this week. So upon reboot just let it sit for awhile and update everything. :cowboy:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nektopoli:
V7 and V8 unlock tool from Asus DO NOT WORK, I just went thought this a few days ago with a new to me TF700, berndblb had to provide a link to the correct version that he had uploaded, I D/L'ed it and it unlocked the bootloader on the 1st try. This is a good link: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634776735

After that flashed TWRP with Minimal ADB and Fastboot and then flash the ROM, superSU and GAPPS from the microSD.

7.1 New Release TF201 Update Procedure?

Greetings All,

TY to those that have created the new 7.1 release!

In preparation for my first 7.1 update shaky experience I have backed up with "TWRP" and "Backup Your Mobile" including the apps with root enabled.

The following questions have come to mind:

1) I wonder if there is a reference guide for doing Android Katkiss updates?

2) To complete the upgrade is it OK to skip ahead and start with step 8 - "INSTALL Android Nougat 7.1" from the "Asus Prime TF201 Upgrade Guide" and then finish by doing the final steps 9-12? Is step 8 all that is needed or are the final steps also required?

3) Should TWRP restore everything (system excluded of course) including the apks or must the apps all be re-installed with the app installer via Google Store?

4) If TWRP isn't intended to recover the app apks should "Backup Your Mobile" do the job once it is re-installed?

TIA for clues!

tma7
[Asus Transformer TF700] Spooky2:
1) I wonder if there is a reference guide for doing Android Katkiss updates?

Most updates in the last few builds are to incorporate Oreo 8.1 security features, as well as Oreo user features.

2) To complete the upgrade is it OK to skip ahead and start with step 8 - "INSTALL Android Nougat 7.1" from the "Asus Prime TF201 Upgrade Guide" and then finish by doing the final steps 9-12? Is step 8 all that is needed or are the final steps also required?

I haven't messed with the TF201 installs, so no help here

3) Should TWRP restore everything (system excluded of course) including the apks or must the apps all be re-installed with the app installer via Google Store?

I HIGHLY encourage a full system backup thru TWRP after all updates have been installed (to ext sd card) and you have installed you're programs. You can also reinstall you're apps from Google Play if you want to start with a clean slate tablet after OS install, by selecting only software you want

4) If TWRP isn't intended to recover the app apks should "Backup Your Mobile" do the job once it is re-installed?

Many use Titanium Backup to achieve this after full tablet OS install and their apps. Myself, I prefer to load specific software onto a clean install. Not all my tablets have all the same software installed on them. Each is catered to how it will be used. Thus I don't select reinstall apps from Google Play when setting up a tablet
[Asus Transformer TF700] tma7:
TY Spooky2!!!

I am going to check out Titanium backup before proceeding. I just recently got my tablet running KatKiss thus all my installs are still fresh. Would be nice if I didn't need to re-install them all. I didn't know Google Play offers an app re-install feature. Until just recently I hadn't updated my tab for a number of years thus lots of grey matter rust and corrosion regarding updating Android, (:/).

tma7
[Asus Transformer TF700] Spooky2:
Now would be a great time to do a full TWRP backup to ext sd card. While the system is loaded and fresh. Just fyi, you can hook the tablet to a pc after full TWRP backup and boot up, browse to TWRP and copy the TWRP back up folder to pc, to dblle back it up. Windows can't see the actual backup file inside, but it will copy the whole folder backup folder, should be roughly around 1.4gb's big.

Yeah I used android before Google "acquired" it. Sometimes they get a little too aggressive on monitoring devices and accounts imo. But there is advantages to that as well. Such as device and app backup.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tma7:
Again TY Spooky2!

I took your advise backed up the TWRP folder to my PC and now I am uploading it to the cloud as well which will take a while, (:/).

I discovered that although the TWRP files are not visible to Windows 10 via USB port whilst running under Android 7.1 they are visible whilst running under TWRP. I also found that once the TWRP folder is copied to a PC drive then the files are visible. Seems they are only blocked from view whilst running 7.1 which seems odd. Also I noticed the backup file storage path reported by TWRP is different than the Android directory tree.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Spooky2:
As Sheldon says, "You'll thank me later" lol. But seriously, if the OS crashes, like it has on me when I tried using different launchers, you can recover back thru TWRP by moving the folder back to a sd card and accessing it for recovery.

Eta Win 7 and 8.1 can't see the actual file either. But that might be due to type of file it is. Rather like a recovery partition on a windows machine, It's "hidden", unless you know it's there. In Windows, you need a WIM (windows image) viewer to see the actual recovery file. Sometimes removing a file extension, renders it invisible as well. Maybe Tim can enlighten us lol.

TF700T ROM N7.1.2 incorrectly labelled as TF300T

It appears that the TF700T N7.1.2 ROM has carried over the text label from the TF300T. I saw this text string in META-INF/com/android/metadata file in the zip:

"ota-required-cache=0

ota-type=FILE

post-build=Asus/full_tf300t/tf300t:7.1.2/N9F27L/timdur03121417:userdebug/test-keys

post-timestamp=1520860670

pre-device=tf300t"

This may be why it displays its identity in Bluetooth as a TF300T instead of TF700T.

I checked the metadata file for the TF701T N7.1.2 ROM which had TF701T and also the TF700T MM6.0.1 ROM which had TF700T.

Is there any other file where the model number should match the device?
[Asus Transformer TF700] StarScream159:
Anyone find a work around for Netflix on this ROM? (Netflix app is hidden from Play Store and if you go directly to the page for it, it says it isn't compatible with the device.) It's likely because it can't pass Safteynet - even while not rooted. Anyone find a Workaround for Safteynet? I've tried different SuperSU, Magisk and the Magisk Props Safteynet fix & removing root all together. Nothing worked. It fails on both ctsProfile and basic integrity checks.

Hello! I was using this rom with not the newest bulds on tf201 for a very long time. But one day it just stopped loading to system. It is not a clear bootloop: it loads to system for like 1 or 2 seconds and then jumps to bootanimation again, and it's like this forever. What should I do to try fix it and do not lose my data?

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------

when the tablet wasn't used a few days and IOwake it from standby it often takes a long time till it starts to perform like it should. I mean when I want to use it after a longer time all apps are loading extremely slow, for about a minute, maybe more till it increase the performance.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Copy your data off storage in TWRP's file manager. Then think about a better backup strategy. Data not backed up is data not yet lost

---------- Post added at 07:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 AM ----------

That's standard TF700 behavior and the remedy is the same it has been for 5 years: do not auto update, avoid social media apps, widgets and other cr**. Run the machine as lean as possible.

The only way to avoid the startup lag I found is: Don't flash gapps
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nektopoli:
I'll have to try not loading GAPPs and installing the apps I want using the appropriate APK files. I might relegate my TF201 to streaming via KODI and therefore wouldn't need all the Google crap.

NP
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Most likely you just have to wipe data, system, cache and Dalvik and reinstall.

But if it's been longer than 6 months since your last full format of /data this would be a good opportunity for a clean install from scratch.

I am having the same issue... Help please!

Noob here. I am having the same issue quoted above when I changed filesystem to f2fs from within TWRB. My tablet is unlocked and has TWRB 3.2.1-0 installed. I also think I created a nandroid onto an external sd card if that helps. The problem is that the tablet displays a "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen and keeps asking me to "Reset tablet". When I click on "Reset tablet", it loops back to the same "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Patent Penguin:
How do you do that Wipe in TWRP when it keeps looping to "Encryption Unsuccessful"?

How do you do that Wipe in TWRP when it keeps looping to the "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen? I'm assuming you are referring to doing the Wipe via TWRP because of your warning that:

"Once you installed a custom recovery NEVER EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES - AND I REPEAT: NEVER! - use the 'Wipe Data' option from the bootloader menu or the "Factory Reset" option in Settings > Backup&Restore.

In your custom recovery you have the option to wipe, backup and restore every partition on your tablet selectively or collectively. Any wiping, any backup and any restore of the system, data, recovery or boot partitions MUST be done in your recovery (or in fastboot)!

You can safely use Titanium Backup or Asus Backup for apps and settings, but that's it. For everything else use your recovery."

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Patent Penguin:
Update: Fixed "Encryption Unsuccessful" issue but...

I was able to boot to TWRP 3.2.1-0 and wipe > format data > typed 'yes' and after an hour, the "Encryption Unsuccessful" window no longer appears. I also went ahead and wiped the cache partition fpr good measure.

But now I'm stuck on what to do next and how to do it. The instructions at the initial thread to install Katakiss Nougat 7.1 is not clear from a beginner's perspective.

In particular,

1. Do I need to install KANG TWRP if I already have TWRP 3.2.1-0 installed and working on the tablet?

2. What are the steps to do a full wipe on TWRP?

3. What are the steps to change the filesystem to f2fs. (It was during this step that I got the encryption unsuccessful message)

4. What are the steps to flash KatKiss ROM #29 Nougat 7.1. I currently have the zip file stored in my microSD.

5. What are the steps to flash SuperSU v. 2.82? I currently have the zip file stored in my microSD.

6. What are the steps to flash gapps arm 7.1 pico? I currently have the zip file stored in my microSD. In particular, what does it mean to "turn on wifi manually" after language setup? In my case, I ran the setup and configured my wifi to work, but I puposefully skipped entering any Google information.

7. What are the steps to wipe cache/dalvik? Are these two different wiping processes?

This is my first custom ROM install attempt (and probably my last). Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you so much! I got it to work with your advice! It appears that the TWRP version I had previously was the official one and not the latest KANG version as recommended. So I went ahead and installed that over the old TWRP. After that, it went smoothly. But the whole process was scary stuff let me tell you.

So now that I have the new KatKiss Nougat 7.1 ROM installed on the tf700t, what apps should I allow automatic updates to? The goal is to keep my tablet running zippily for as long as possible. I use it for browsing primarily.

HDMI Screen issue

I just did a clean install of #29 [many thanks Tim] (formatted /data then f2fs). No further apps installed. Connected to TV via HDMI. However, there are black bars on each side of the TV screen image and I can't find a way to fit the TF700 screen image full size on the 1920X1080 TV screen. As I use this tablet for catch up TV viewing that's a problem, and it wasn't a problem on #27 previously. I may simply have forgotten a setting somewhere, but have searched and can't find anything useful. Tried all the TV settings available with no affect.

Edit: Just connected another TF700 with #28 installed and it had the same bars down side of TV screen.

Can someone suggest how I might remedy this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nektopoli:
WOW this thread is on F I R E today. You can allow the updates BUT the TF700 wont update since it's not supported by Asus anymore and it never had Android 7 installed on it from Asus, only updates are found here and you have to go through the whole process with every time. I'm still on version 27.

[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
He's talking about app updates and I say: None.

If an app works fine and does what you need it to do - why update?

There's a good reason to update Android for security updates and fixes. Apps? When do they really offer you new functionality? Every 10th update? 20th?

Update if there's a good reason. Auto updates are for lazy bums! [emoji23]

Did the same thing, and when I was on my main page I did get the bars you're talking about it, as soon as I fired up Kodi and started watching a TV show it went into 16:9 mode and the screen filled up.

Many thanks for the response. The HDMI mode on my tablet is defaulted to 'scale' [I had tried the others too] with no effect on side blank bars on home screen, but when I tried watching catchup TV it did go to 16:9 as you describe.

Question: How do you access a tuner with Kodi on the tablet? I would love to do that too.
