I'm having a problem on step 6 (Bootloader). Not able to get the HairyBean 2.31 with TWRP 2.5 to install. Not getting any error messages and it says successful, but the instructions say that it should boot into Androwook and have an upgraded bootloader. I'm not seeing any change after installing that and rebooting. It goes right back into TWRP 2.6.3 and the bootloader is still the 10.4.2.18, not 10.6. I've tried just ignoring that and continuing with the newer TWRP (3.2.3.0-KANG) and flashing the KatKiss 7.1 ROM and the two other files, but got the problem of insufficient space in /system partition (error 70) that prevented me from going any further down that road and I ended up going back to stock and starting over and got back to this same spot that I can't get to work as expected. I've tried installing this from /sdcard as well as external flash card with the same result.

Any guidance or tricks on getting HairyBean installed?

Hello, are you using Powershell or Windows command prompt ?

Launch a Windows command prompt on the folder containing the flash files.

Transformer Pad TF300TG problem

Hi!

Tried to install Android 7.1 Nougat to the Asus Transformer Pad TF300TG (TF300TG!) as you recommended in your post [GUIDE/TUTORIAL] Asus Transformer Pad TF300T. It was successful. Thanks!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hardi1988:
Hello everyone,

on Saturday I dug my "old" Asus tf201 out of the cupboard again. After starting the TF201 I had to find out that Android 4 was still installed on it.

After some googling I came across this article about upgrading to Android 7.

I'm afraid I did almost everything wrong during the upgrade process (please excuse. I know, I'm a idiot. :crying:)

I have now completely deleted tf201. There is no operating system on it anymore.

I can start the tablet and access TWRP in version 3.2.3-0_KANG.

I have already tried to install the Android 7 ROM, but it doesn't work (error 70 - too little memory).

Does anyone have any idea how to save the tablet or is it lost?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mr99Lee:
Unbelivable...THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Recently pulled out my old 201 and thought about flashing ...didn´t work on th first try.

With your guide it worked!!!! Like a new tab.....

THANK YOU!!!!

regards

Mr.Lee

Had the same...stay calm...nothing is lost :)

just reflash the stock os from Asus as described here:

Then start over with the guide from beginning...

took me a few hours but its def worth it

I am using macOS. Is there a mac version of wheelie.ext and nvflash.exe ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djibe89:
Found no way.

There are 3 solutions :

- install a Windows 10 in dual boot

- or a Linux distribution in dual boot

- or a Linux distribution in LiveCD
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hero_Bellero:
Hello, the prevent brick part works in every case? I'm asking because the guide to do it says "At the moment, nvFlash can only be enabled on a device with the 9.4.2.28 ICS bootloader. If you have upgraded to the official Jelly Bean ROM before enabling nvFlash, you would have the new 10.4.2.15 bootloader and you will no longer be able to enable nvFlash."

My tablet has the last official version, if i try to folliw this guide and i brick it, how can i be use i will be able to fix it? Thank you
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] One Eye Pied:
Merci !

After a first failed try further years ago, I made another attempt with this tutorial.

And it works ! Merci [MENTION=5876380]djibe89[/MENTION] , tu m'as offert une tablette neuve :)

Some differences by the way :

- I use powershell for fastboot and adb commands.

- I had to follow the additional step described in this comment : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73403429&postcount=137 (It should be good to add them to the first post).

- I don't follow step 10 because App Battery Calibration (from IMobS Ltd) isn't anymore in the play store.

- I don't follow step 14 because Google Play works without any change.

Thank you again !
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djibe89:
Hi,

I will try soon to recover data with nvflash (my partitions seem dead after years of usage).

If you start tutorial with stock OS, you will have no problem generating the backup files.

Go a head.

In case of crash, you have to reflash bootloader and flash nvflash. But like I said, I'll try it soon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djibe89:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hero_Bellero:
I don't remember exactly and ebay does not show purchases before 2018, but more or less was around 80 euros (was less but had to pay costums).

It was in 2015 if i remember correctly, the price was higher, now you can buy a good tablet with last OS, with 120-150 euros.

OBTAIN GOOGLE MOBILE SERVICES (GMS) CERTIFICATION

Google now restricts Google Play and Google apps access to certificated devices. Since you have a custom ROM, you are banned.

We now need to subscribe for the Google Play Certification.

Download DeviceID app on phone : https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/evozi...release/device-id-1-3-0-android-apk-download/

In Android, go to Settings > Security and activate the Unknow sources

Now use the built in File explorer app to install the deviceID app

Install it, launch it.

Tap on the Google Service Framework (GSF) line, then tap on the COPY button.

In your Android webbrowser, go to : https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/

Connect to Google using your Google/Android account.

In the input field of the page, paste the 16 digits code.

Click on the Save button, a success message confirms your device is Certified.

Do I need to re-certify it ?

"Your device’s GSF ID is reset every time your device is factory reset (or when you wipe the GSF app itself) since it is stored in your data partition, so you must re-register your GSF ID every time you perform either of these actions."

Inverted Swipe TF201 Prime Screen

Hi there,

I have a TF201 Prime with Keyboard dock, used very little since the cat knocked it off the fridge and I had to replace the screen. The Screen installed was the inverted swipe one so I gave up on it.

Is there a fix for the inverted swipe? Do I have to fix that first then upgrade to 7.1.?

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] koudy66:
Amazing job on the guide. I just went through this guide yesterday on my TF201 and step by step everything worked with no problems. Of course eventually i've hit the problem with google play missing.

I went over this short fix as well but this didn't work. Device ID installed by GFS field is "Not found". Android Device ID has number which i could add on the GSF activation site. I also manually installed GSF 7.1.2 from apkmirror along with google play store but this is not enough. Any hints on where to go next?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JohnnyWalker68:
I did try to install the id apk, but it dont want to install, tried several versions, and not one wanted to install,.

Is there another way to get the id, by the termnal maybe, or by connecting it to a computer, or whatever.

Tablet works fine so far, just want to download apps, and let google play work again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Raresh T:
Did you check install from unknown sources? Even if that is the case, you might be out of luck with Google play. If you rely on Google play for paid apps, try using Apkpure. Allows you to download apps same as Google play. Used it sometimes, when I ve disabled Google play and services
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djibe89:
Hi, like [MENTION=5946967]Raresh T[/MENTION] said,

you must allow unknown sources, like in this picture : https://www.tabbloidx.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/getapk-market-install.jpg

Then retry DeviceID and my last post.

If nothing works, you could try this : https://www.trickscity.com/change-android-device-id-rooted-non-rooted-guide/

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JohnnyWalker68:
Whatever i do, it seems like it wont install any app, i can download apps from websites, thats no problem, but nothing wants to install, like its blocked,

When i turn on the tablet its also still saying its unlocked.

Must i lock it first, and if yes, how do i do that.

I just dont understand why nothing wants to install.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djibe89:
Can you be more precise with "whatever I do" ? Can you tell us precisely what you have done ?

Try to reflash Root/SuperSU and activate it : refer step 10 of my tutorial.

NB. The tab being unlocked has nothing to do with Android being "locked".

So :

1. Flash Root/SuperSU with TWRP

2. Flash OpenGapps once again with TWRP and Wipe Cache/dalvik before tab restart.

3. Activate root (step 10 of my tuto)

4. Allow Unknown sources

5. Install DeviceID app and follow my precdent post
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JohnnyWalker68:
Now i did something very stupid, and i wiped the wrong things, now the tablet doesnt work, and goes in to a boot loop to recovery mode.

Result will follow later

Using a USB mouse

Hi guys!

Is there any way to enable using a USB mouse?

Everything works like a charm, and I just need to add this functionality to my TF201.

Any suggestion is appreciated. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djibe89:
Hi, since the tab doesn't use microUSB, you can't go for USB On The Go, so I have no idea how to acheive this.

Thanks proprietary cables...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 01000110:

Trying to get the 7.1 on my tf201. keep getting an error.

FAILED <command write failed <no such device or address>>

Fastboot devices shows the serial number and I was able to get Hairybean installed but when I try to flash twrp-3.2.3 the error comes.

Looking for a solution showed restart tab, reinstall drivers etc... All have been tried, all failed. Any advice on how to get this to work?

Flashed 5.1.1 to another tf201 and it went very smoothly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djibe89:
Hi, looks like you have a driver issue.

Easiest thing is to try different flash from a different PC.

Or check in Windows's Device management menu the state of the tab, and try to change drivers to Universal naked drivers.

I remember having some mess at this time of flash.

Keep us informed,

best
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chuck5893:
Finally

Was finally able to get it working. Delays due to frustration. It ultimately was just continuously trying until it finally went through; restarts, PC restarts, reinstalling ADB/Fastboot, eventually it just went through. The 5.1.1 update was seamless and very simple, something might be a little off with HairyBean.

Thanks for the software to keep a good tablet alive, and to the community for willingness to help us late comers.

No recovery ?

Hello,

So I was able to fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery flatline_tf201.img with success, however, am unable to boot to recovery. The tablet just hangs :(

Not entirely comfortable continuing on without some backups!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Raresh T:
after the flash, did you wait for the blue bar to fill? or you rebooted straight into bootloader? also, you cant just reboot to recovery. you acess recovery from bootloader.

if you are feeling uneasy about all of this, you could simply jump at flashing the rom. this is the guide i ve followed for over 20 flashes of katkiss roms for this tablet (https://www.google.ro/amp/s/xdaforums.com/transformer-prime/rom-katkiss-5-1-tf201-22-t3080892/amp/)

at the final step, you can install whatever version you want. no need to go through lollipop. just follow each of those instructions to the letter. like when it says to let the tablet format unattended, leave it unattended. dont start buttoning it, cuz you are inpatient. afterwards you can get back into NVflash, if you want to
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DigitalJer:
Yes, I waited, and it it did fill. Sorry for the confusion, I worded that incorrectly :)

No, I rebooted to the bootloader, then VOL + on RCK (then it just hung with a black screen / This device unlocked message.) Rebooted to bootloader and attempted recovery several times. Eventually I gave up and flashed a TWRP Kang recovery; which worked fine :)

OK gotcha. Thanks for the reply and the info!!

I was reading some posts and maybe we need to downgrade to 4.0.3 for the unlocker to work !?

I'm running 4.1.1
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Raresh T:
Perhaps. But here s my opinion. I have this tablet (Asus Tf201) for about 9 years now. For the last 3 years I ve tried running it without Gapps, since it runs better overall, performance and battery wise. But it has an age. I can barely use a browser, no more than a few tabs, when downloading a movie the entire tablet is frozen. Everything that doesn't require internet and performance runs well. It's like an expensive paper. If this unlocker app is no longer available, go for something else. Another tablet I mean. This one isnt worth it any longer. Switch to a tablet with at least android 8, so you can use treble when support drops.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gaiex:
By the way what android version are you running on your TF201 ?

When I do a full restore on mine it works very good, if keep the original apps version, if we start to update it runs very slow, so I was hopping that after updating to this 7.1 version that it will be the same performance wise than the 4.1.1 that I have but with newer apps... if not I might have to buy a new tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Raresh T:
Tried them all. Nougat provides the best app compatibility, marshmallow has an option to turn off wallpaper service which does provides a bit of performance. Of course, the original debloated has the most performance, but bad compatibility. Was running android 7 on my asus tf201. No gapps, debloated. Using it for notes and watching movies stored on internal storage, no problem. Try chrome or everything that requires internet and it starts hanging.

Due to this hanging and insane lag (I was waiting at some point around 2-3 min for a webpage to load.), I even tried Android Oreo/8. Still in alpha, managed to hardbrick it in the process. Performance way better than nougat. The problem with that ROM is that is being developed very slowly. Expect it to be available in the next 3 years at least.

In the meantime I ve bough myself a Huawei MediaPad M5 lite. Cheap, works, treble compatible so no worries about future updates. I ve tried reviving my asus, no success so far. If you plan of trying that oreo rom, do MAKE blobs beforehand.

there is. but isnt gonna be what you think. at most you could run windows 98. everything else lags or doesnt boot at all. and when i mean lagging, 10 min lag to navigate through programs. if you want to get windows look, there is a computer launcher available on playstore. kind of good, buy premium because is full of ads.
