I'm having this same problem. Why isn't everyone else having it? Seems there isn't enough space on the System partition.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Voltron:
I think there is an issue with this tutorial. Something in Step 4 was downgrading my bootloader to version 10.4.2.15. After Step 4, I had to manually upgrade back to 10.4.2.18 in order for everything after to work properly. I'm now running Nougat!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nektopoli:
I think you should be on bootloader: 10.6.1.27.1

Well, I believe I am now, but I had to be at 10.4.2.18 to get there.

error code 70 while installing gapps

Hi

Thank you very much for this very nice tutorial.

I have a problem while installing gapps : an error code 70 and a message about the too small size of the system partition.

I seen some others have the same issue, and they resolved it after retrying to format system partition. For me it doesn't work....

So I think a solution could be to increase the size of this partition. Is someone can help me and explain to me how to do this please ?

**Edit**

I tried the method explained in this post : https://xdaforums.com/android/help/fix-error-70-install-gapps-t3311779 , but same result : error 70

Thank you very much !

Can't upgrade to HairyBean

From post 1, I have completed the following:

Step 0: Done.

Step 1: Got that, and unzipped.

Step 2: Had to use the device manager, but it works. I am able to fastboot, and adb, and APX.

Step 3: Did that last week. Verified that it says 'Device is unlocked'

(Wish I had seen this thread first, ASUS no longer has the unlocker on their site, and your .zip is only 1 of 2 places I could find the apk.)

Step 4:

Part 1: Did this.

(If you are still upgrading these instructions, you might want to indicate that booting in APX mode

leaves on with a black screen on the tablet, and does not cause anything to appear in Windows Explorer, you'll know it works when the 'wheelie --blob blob.bin' command works. Spent quite a bit of time trying to debug problems here that turned out not to be problems.)

Part 2: Did this.

Step 5: This all seems to work fine too. I am able to successfully boot (via RCK) into TWRP 2.6.3.0.

Step 6: These commands all seem to run, but don't seem to do anything. I am able to send the HairyBean loader over via ADB, and it does show up in /sdcard. I have also tried copying it onto the external SDCARD and running from external_sdcard. Same result. No matter what I do, no 10.6.1.27.1.

As with a previous poster, I was sure that I had 10.4.2.18 installed before beginning this. After trying to complete this step, I see that I had 10.4.2.15. I grabbed a copy of 'TF201 Jellybean 4.1 (10.4.2.18).zip' from AndroidFileHost, and following instructions elsewhere (thread 1927818, which you mention in the nvflash section), I used APX mode to install blob.EBT (and later .SOS and .LNX). This caused it to claim that I had 10.4.2.18 for the bootloader again, but still no HairyBean. Then I tried the .SOS and .LNX., and in there somewhere (based on another thread), a complete factory wipe and data clear.

Now, I get the question about SuperSU (didn't come up before, same as another thread), chose no. TWRP says I have no OS installed (likely from the data clear...) Reboot.

Note: the blue line (after rebooting) fills in about 1 second. This does not seem like it is correct based on instructions here and elsewhere to 'let it finish'. In any case, it seems to try to move on to the regular boot process after that. As per another previous post, it seems to 'hand' on the ASUS loading screen (with the Tegra in the corner). Let it sit for up to 3 hours, and nothing.

At this point, it seems that I can still APX, I can still fastboot, and I can still run ADB commands. I tried restarting the process at Step 5, But no matter what I try, no 10..6.1.27.1, and I still have 4 icons in the bootloader menu.

Any suggestions?

Thank You, an excellent tutorial

Big big thanks to djibe89 for this tutorial, you have brought my tf201 back to life.

Massive thanks to Timduru for the rom, excellent work, and all the other devs that made this possible :)

I have never done anything like this before and am a total noob, but following your tutorial I have a tf201 with android 7 :)

The only issue was the driver installs, even disabling the signing checks it still would not install. I am running windows 7 pro 64bit and i think that was the issue, windows didn`t recognize a 64bit driver. I did manage to do it but the only way was to run the command prompt so nvflash was waiting, then go into device manager and install from there, then nvflash would make files. Very strange but it worked.

I have found that the camera is just green and says unable to connect ( it was ok on 4.1.1 ). Is there a fix for this? Though it`s not a problem as I didn`t use it much, it would be good to fix it.

Also the search bar doesn`t seem to work. Is there a way to remove it or make it work?

Thanks for your dedication and help and thanks for a great forum, much appreciated :)

---------- Post added at 12:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------

I have successfully upgraded my tf201 following this excellent tutorial, now I would like to do my son`s which is exactly the same as mine. As I have done the nvflash backup already, does that mean I can skip that step on the second tf201 and use that backup for either tablet?

Also on my son`s tablet the right side of the touchscreen does not respond to touch. I have checked the latest twrp and it does not support orientation so I can`t flip the screen to a working part, but the keyboard touchpad can be tapped as if it was the screen to make selections in twrp 3. What I need to know is can I use the keyboard to navigate when in twrp when doing this update?

cheers for all your help.

Hi,

I followed this great tuto (thks for this amazing job) !

I encountered the same issue as JoeDrunk, and I'm pretty sure I was on the right version of boatloader at the beginning of the process.

For those who have the same issue (or the one telling you there is not enougth space for GApps (error 70). Some steps are missing after the end of the "Step 4" to go from v. 10.4.2.15, back to v. 10.4.2.18 of bootloader:

(source: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2195883 - method 2).

4bis.0: Only If (like me), you had just ignored the fact that the "USB" icon was still there and resume the tuto and hit a wall at the installation of GApps (error 70), on TWRP Advanced Wipe menu, select Dalvik Cache, System, Cache, Data AND Internal Storage and Swype to force cleanup. Wait till completion.

4bis.1 : Download the official Asus release: https://www.asus.com/Tablets/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201/HelpDesk_Download/ (choose the right version, for me: WW version)...

4bis.2 : Extract the "blob" file from the ZIP archive inside the one you have just downloaded.

4bis.3: Copy it inside "File" folder (created at "Step 1" of the TUTO).

4bis.4: Restart the tablet holding the vol.- button (to get the bootloader menu) and select Fastboot (USB icon)

4bis.5: On the computer command line tool run the following command:

fastboot devices

(just to be sure the tablet is still recognized by the computer)

4bis.6: Then run the following command:

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging blob

4bis.7: Then wait for about 10min.

4bis.8: Then run:

fastboot reboot-bootloader

4bis.9: Done (bootloader is back in the right version) -> You are back on tracks for the Step 5 of this detailed and efficiant tuto.

Just finished the installation of Android 7.1 :)

What free and occupied space TWRP indicated for the system partition ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DaLongTjeu:
Today I decided to take that dusty old TF201 from that pile of papers it was holding down for the last 3 years - basically it's better suited as a paperweight than a tablet - and try to get it running 7.1.2. I fooled around a little and presto! Now I've got an out-dated piece of cr*p tablet running the latest state-of-the-art version of Android, how awesome is that!? Thanks djibe89 for the great guide and timduru for the ROM, you guys rock!

I'm curious though about any known kernel tweaks that could get it running a bit smoother. Because it's still sluggish, especially while multi-tasking or moving large chunks of data. Currently I'm on interactive (@1600-1800boost) with zen (2048) and seeder for entropy, I tweaked the governor a bit so it scales up sooner, of course resulting in huge battery drain. Who's got their tf201 running smoothly and butterly with better drain? What tweaks do you recommend?

Windows 10 wont detect the tablet.

======================================================================================

PROBLEM 1

- Windows Vista/Windows 7 :

Go to folder /Universal Naked Drivers 0.72 you unziped earlier (on Windows desktop).

Select file android_apxusb.inf, then right click -> Install.

Force driver installation and wait until a success message prompts.

Repeat operation with android_winusb.inf .

Then plug tablet to PC (USB2 port) to end driver installation.

### If it fails to install you may try using Windows device manager :

### In Windows device manager -> Right-click on Asus Android Device -> Update Driver Software -> Let me pick -> Have disk -> Browse to the .inf file and install BOTH .inf files.

I've tried installing android_apxusb.inf (which gave a prompt when completed) and android_winusb.inf (which didn't give a prompt when completed) and my computer made a sound once when I plugged in my Tablet but the tablet never asked to install drivers. When I remove the tablet from the computer and plug it back in again I don't get the sound of a USB device being connected to the computer anymore.

Inside Device Manager the only way the Tablet shows up is if you check show hidden devices and it's slightly faded compare to other devices. Then when I try to install the drivers with the wizard my computer says "Windows could not find drivers for your device."

Hi All

I have tried and tried many times but was not able to progress any further following the successful flashing of HairyBean_Bootloader_TWRP2.5.zip in step 6.

Installed the android_usbapx.inf but the pc only recognises the tab as unknown usb device. Installing de driver with windows device manager gives; no compatible driver, The specified location does not contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the location contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with the Windows x64 Edition operating system.

Does this mean the universal naked driver is only 32bit?? Also tried 0.73 version, same result.

Hello guys,

I have a TF201 too and want give him a fresh new live as he appears to already be dead... it takes hours to do anything on it, so i think that a new rom will help on this :)

I'm following all the instructions to install, but i'm stuck here:

Type :

Code:

adb push HairyBean_Bootloader_TWRP2.5.zip /sdcard

Now on the tab, still in TWRP recovery, go to Install then click on HairyBean_Bootloader_TWRP2.5.zip

(file is in Internal memory, in folder /sdcard).

Swype to the right to confirm flashing, wait until Successful message appears.

Now click Reboot System and Do Not Install when SuperSU is proposed.

Let the tab reboot with another blue bar. Let it work.

The tab reboots and launches the HairyBean TWRP recovery (androwook).

What happens here is that even following all steps, it installs TWRP2.5 and asks to boot, i confirm boot without installing SuperSU.

Tab rebbots and shows blue bar, but that blue bar fills in less then 2 seconds and automatically reboots and enters to android system instead of going to new bootloader :(

That blue bar should take much more time...

Does anyone has a glue of what is causing this?

I repeated some steps and redownloaded TWRP2.5 file and uploaded it again to phone and nothing changes :(

Thank you for this excellent tutorial.

A couple things I found:

- with stock TF201 and Windows 7 x64, the Naked drivers would not install until after step 5 (i.e, after "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp_tf201t.blob"). I used stock Windows drivers for the earlier steps. The stock Windows driver stops working after step 5.

- right-click / install drivers does not work. I think this is because the inf files do not have a DefaultInstall section? I had to update from device manager > update drivers

- the fixed .inf for "hairybean unrecognized" requires copying all the other files (incl. subdirectories) from Naked drivers to the directory with the fixed .inf file
