Holy cow you are still supporting this? You are insane bro. Can you link a stable recovery you use?
[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:
Yeah :P

The TF701 is still the best version of the TFXXX imho, super fast and responsive with this :)

As for recovery I still use the Kang version,

it still has issues when flashing the rom as it fails to format /system most of the time,

so what I do is that I pre-format manually /system from the recovery,

if it fails formatting ext4, I just switch it to another format then again to ext4, until it goes through ;P

it takes 5-6 tries sometimes *g*

then I flash the rom and it flies ;P
[Asus Transformer TF701] jaholm:
Thank you very much for the long support of this really good tablet. I will miss the fumbling with the flashing the tablet. Now I have to give myself a christmas present. A new Tablet. Without security fixes I have to say goodbye unfortunately to the tf701.

With a little tear in my eye: bye bye
[Asus Transformer TF701] jguy:
Sorry to see your support end, but thank you years you kept this thing running so well.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Vdoggen:
Thank you so much for supporting and extending the useful lifetime of this capable tablet for as long as you did.

With your updates I was able to endure the wait for a successor to the Asus ZenPad 3S 10, which ultimately never materialised after a more than two year wait when Asus decided to leave the tablet market all together earlier this year.

I'll be sticking with it a bit longer now with this final update til I sort out my next candidate.

Cheers to you and your efforts over the years!!!

Grazie mille!

Quick question:

Will the install work if I format all the partitions to F2FS instead of ext-4 ???

I think I've tried before but it booted up into a boot loop and I ended up going back to ext-4.

[Update]

So, I figured out a compromise. After some experimenting I found that only formating the Data partition to F2FS and the Cache partition to ext4, I'm able to boot up normally. If the Cache partition is formated to F2FS then I get a hootloop.

Why is that? I suspect that it might be a bug.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Vdoggen:
One more question:

Is Bluetooth connectivity a known issue?

I tried to listen to music via Bluetooth headphones but although they seem to connect, the audio is not shunted thru them at all.

Music plays instead on and off intermittently thru the main speaker and the system stutters and becomes a bit unresponsive.

I remember a similar issue with KatKiss 6.0.

[Update]

It turns out that an answer to this problem is on the first page...

Once connected to Bluetooth, select the connected headphones or speaker in the paired devises listing and de-select the Phone Audio option (and perhaps Contact Sharing as well).

It means I can't use the tablet with Google Voice to place or listen to calls wirelessly though...
[Asus Transformer TF701] Jos_Hdez22:
Is there a tablet that you recommend with similar capabilities? Now that it will be without support I would like to change it for a more recent one.
[Asus Transformer TF701] dezraj:
Hello! I've recently acquired one TF701T model and it has the stock Asus system. I tried to run Super Mario Run, Mario Kart Tour, Sonic Dash and My Talking Tom and they all open but freeze in a glitched screen.

My question is: will these games run in this custom ROM?

Also, when I try to download Saint Seiya Awakening from the Play Store the Play Store crashes as soon as I click "install". Could anyone confirm that this game downloads fine in this Nougat ROM?

Thanks anyone in advance. ?
[Asus Transformer TF701] ConfuciusTse:
THANK YOU! I had my old TF701T kicking around still running CM something or other but not touched in ages. Decided to dust it off for the kids to play games on and put your ROM on it. I'd say about 30% of games that I install won't launch or just simply crash BUT the 70% that do work are going great! Can't believe this ancient hardware can still keep up but just a huge thanks to you for keeping it alive that much longer!
[Asus Transformer TF701] arcadien:
Hi,

First thanks for your great job. You keep this great device alive!

Could you please provide the kernel configuration you used for the last release? The template from Github [1] is not sufficient and I have a lot of trouble trying to find a good setup.

I need the config for two tries:

* Use your rom, but add some more drivers (usb to serial converters)

AND/OR

* Use direct Linux with your version of kernel rather than the one provided by Trel725 [2]

Regards,

Aurelien

[Asus Transformer TF701] arcadien:
Kernel configuration

Hacking for GCC-7 support, I think I found it at `arch/arm/configs/katkernel_defconfig`. I'll make some adjustments for non-Android system.
[Asus Transformer TF701] raphistol:
Many thanks for your amazing work Timduru. Thanks to you, our tablet is still capable and so it will be for many months to come. Therefore I don't have the need to buy a new device and that's a good point for our Planet.

I wish you all the success, happiness, and joy in life.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Lambada700:
Hi, what is the latest version of the ROM with a working camera?
[Asus Transformer TF701] tftgosu:
Thanks for the tips, i was about that mine tf701t is broken as i need to "dance" with file sys change and format until i get it properly done.

Thank you for support of this devices its still matches my needs.

Only issue is Twitch app was usually 1080p60 fps on stock rom/ on katkiss 7.1. its only 720p60, think the app doesnt understand our device screen size etc.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sapiora:
Can't install anything.

1. I did full format.

2. I changed the system to ext4.

3. Downloaded version 39, pico apps, super su on my ad card.

4. When select Install on TWRP and select KatKiss v. 39 I get in red color:

- Updater process ended with signal: 4

- Error installing zip file 'external_sdcard/KatKiss-7. 1_TF701T_39.zip'

My tablet is TF700

It is unlocked.

I had my previous version of KatKiss and decided to update.
[Asus Transformer TF701] PtKt:
is your tablet t700 or t701? If it's t700 you need the t700 zip-file.....
[Asus Transformer TF701] sapiora:
Yeap. Sorry! I did not see it. Downloading and will try later. Thank you!

However is there any chance to downgrade to 4.4.2? Is it worth it?

I read I have to format in Ext4, right?
[Asus Transformer TF701] silverchairbg:
[MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] I've finally decided to take you up on your offer to take a look, as my kids are driving me crazy. I've attached the /sdcard/top & /sdcard/kmsg & /sdcard/lc logs as per your reporting procedure from here (https://public.timduru.org/Android/KatKiss/7.x/#report). Would really appreciate if you could figure something out, as this otherwise powerful tablet cannot run the simplest of new games. I read on android media that Vulkan API is now huge on Android as well, so maybe all those new games are migrating to Vulkan and our video driver does not support it?!? If you could do something about it, I would gladly make another donation, I am sure other would do as well.

Thanks for all your hard work as always!

P.S. The games that I tried to run while the console is opened with logging are Fun Run 3 and Scary Teacher 3D. Both used to run on older versions of the game, but after updates, no longer run.

Regards
[Asus Transformer TF701] silverchairbg:
[MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] Did you had a chance to check the logs?
[Asus Transformer TF701] Wall00:
Hi guys

Can someone please enlighten me how to install this room. Step by step like for dummies

My transformer 701tf is already rooted and unlocked.

thanks
[Asus Transformer TF701] gav2fc:
If you follow the steps in first post you'll be up and running with this ROM fairly quickly ??
[Asus Transformer TF701] Wall00:
Unfortunatelly don't know how to make it work. Everytime getting Green robot with red sign. After choosing RCK in tablet menu.

Didn't find any TWR working with 701tf, so dont have clue how to flash this room.
[Asus Transformer TF701] gav2fc:
That'll be your issue so....you need TWRP to install ROM as far as I know.

There are two TWRP threads in same(sub)forum as this ROM thread that should work, I think the Kang one is the one to use. There are also some links to updated versions of twrp in this thread once you are up and running that you can update to.

Best of luck......
[Asus Transformer TF701] Wall00:
Thank´s for pointing me in the right direction. Finally i have flashed my tablet. However the search bar doesn´t work and there is not possible to remove it (a bit annoying). Also Google play shop and google play services doesn´t work with this rom.

Anyone know how to fix any from the above problems?
[Asus Transformer TF701] erzherzog:
I'm using Nova Launcher, allowing to remove the search bar. Google Play does work for me. Sorry, I've no idea, what's wrong on your tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Wall00:
Can you tell me please which version of Google Play Services and Play Store are you using (for which platform). Maybe I am just installing a wrong one. Have tried a few of them nothing work.
[Asus Transformer TF701] erzherzog:
OpenGapps, ARM, Version 7.1
[Asus Transformer TF701] Wall00:
Thank´s sorted now. Working like a charm now.
[Asus Transformer TF701] silverchairbg:
[MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] Would you be looking into the logs I provided? The games that fail to show image after update increase quite a bit and this is very disappointing. If you could do anything to fix this, I would rather donate to you, than looking for 2 new tablets for the kids.

P.S. I know you will no longer update the android with patches. This issue does not seem to be android version specific.

Thanks again.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Hardi1988:
Hi everyone,

I have just a short question regarding the camera problem. Maybe someone can help.

Is it possible to get the camera working with an alternativ app from the app-store or is it, regarding the rom, never be possible to get it starting?

Thanks for all your help.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sasisco:
No, the reason is that the camera is not supported by the drivers on this port (simplified).
[Asus Transformer TF701] Hardi1988:
Unlock Device App

Hi everyone,

maybe someone can help me again.

By chance I have managed to acquire a practically brand new Asus tf701t.

I would like to unlock the tablet now and install the Android 7 Rom.

Unfortunately I already fail with the Unlock-Device App.

I always get the error message "Unknown network error. Please wait and try again later".

Has anyone already had the same problem in the past?
[Asus Transformer TF701] JerryBels:
If you find a solution please do tell here. I'm having the same issue.
[Asus Transformer TF701] silverchairbg:
Both of you google for 0820-0954_SIGNED_UnLock_for_TF701_repart.apk and use it to unlock the tablet. It worked for me just fine a while ago. Size of the apk in question is 741 KB (759,132 bytes)
[Asus Transformer TF701] JerryBels:
Nope, it doesn't help. I had it on my device already, and it doesn't unlock the bootloader because of an error that "may be a network connection issue". I contacted Asus about it and got the following answer :

"The product has been EoL for long time and the server is not available anymore.

No more support for this product."

So, the unlock tool won't work, and there is no alternative apparently :/ Honestly that's a shame.

Update Asus TF701 T: "RCK Error"

Hi to all,

I'm trying to update an Asus TF701T.

1) I download the followings files:

TF701T Latest Rom Version: KatKiss-7.1_TF701T_039.zip | Mirror

Gapps: OpenGapps ARM 7.1 Pico

Latest SuperSU: SuperSU stable

2) I put them on Micro SD card

3) I put the SD card into the dock of my Asus TF701

And I turn off the tablet and try to start the recovery mode

But... Unfortunately the Android tablet refused to go to next steps....

My request is the following one:

1- Can you explain step by step with simple explanations : "How to update the Android version of my device?"

2- Can you explain me why the RCK mode isn't avaible and show Android Logo with "Error"?

3- Do you know any solutions to resolve it?

I really thank you for your time and help to my request.

Regards,

Clem
[Asus Transformer TF701] GobiKev:

When I Google tf701t lineage os I get quite a few hits for Android 10 and android 11. Are these fake links? Can the tf701t only run android 7?
[Asus Transformer TF701] IrenePappel:
I knew that I still had my TF701T lying around, unused in a dark corner with Android 4.3. Since our house uses Home Assistant to automate many things I wanted to revive it today. First thing I noticed was that the Home Assistant app (from Play Store) does not run on 4.3. So then I went here and went all the way up to UL-K00C-WW-11.4.1.30-user.zip, using the microsd card and flashing the device in recovery mode again and again. I wasn't sure whether I could skip versions so I went up incrementally. Then I rooted the device. I was exited and happy to jump to KatKiss 7.1. I installed TWRP using fastloader and then I got an error with the system partition when trying to flash KatKiss 7.1 in TWRP. Converting from EXT4 to EXT2 and then back to EXT4 did the trick in TWRP. Of course I did a full wipe.

So then I flashed KatKiss 7.1, Super SU and GApps, following the guide here. I managed to figure out the "WIFI off/on trick" when initially configuring GApps. So far so good. It took me roughly 2 hours with trial and error until here... I was even more excited now. Finally I was there!

Then, after having successfully launched Android 7.1, connected to WIFI and configured my Google account, I noticed that many apps that I install and run simply crash.

Most important, the only app that I need to convert the tablet to a wall panel is Home Assistant and it is crashing!

I installed a few other apps and many of them simply crash. I had read in the forum for the "Home Assistant companion app" that I should install Google WebView, go to developer options and replace Chrome WebView with Google WebView. However, it still not working. What is even more concerning, instead of using the "Home Assistant companion app", when calling the local IP of our Home Assistant setup in the house, the latest Chrome browser does not even load the page (normally showing all the tiles and knobs for switching lights etc.).

So there must be something wrong here. I am disappointed now because it took me 3h to get here and now it was for nothing. Goal not reached.

may be flash android 6.0 ?
[Asus Transformer TF701] raf1978:
Hello everyone !

First :

Thanks a lot to @timduru (and all of the community) for keeping this device alive and performing this long after Asus stopped to update it despite its potential !!!

Second :

I have the previous KattKiss 6.0.1 installed on my device for several years now. Runs smoothly and without problem.

Untill yesterday, at least...

I use ADB Browser as default browser. Never had any issue. But after yesterday's latest apps update (from Play Store), I'm no longer able to browse the Internet !!! I downloaded/installed/tried different browsers (Chrome, Duck Duck Go, Opera... even the native Asus browser) but they all either crash at the very start or display blank pages. Uninstalling/reinstalling the browser(s) doesn't help. Neither does rebooting the device...

There's no problem with the wifi since all my other apps that need Internet connection run without fail.

I humbly admit that I'm not skilled enough to identify and solve the issue myself, thus I ask for your help...

--> Where do you think the issue with the browsers comes from ? How to solve it ? (I'd really like to solve it even if I'm considering upgrading to the 7.1 version afterward)

--> For those who used the 6.0.1 version : what are the pros and cons of upgrading to the 7.1 version ?

Regarding the "camera not working" issue : is it only the back camera ? or both back and front cameras ?

Thanks for yours answers and help ! :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] raf1978:
I looked at the official LineageOS website and the TF701T (K00C) isn't displayed as a compatible device for this OS (even among the discontinued devices) :/
[Asus Transformer TF701] raf1978:
Hello ! It's me again ! 😅

I couldn't wait more in installing the latest version (v39) of this awesome ROM !

BUT... it failed ! 😓

Here's what I have done :

- manually enter recovery mode (power + vol-)

- backup current data/system on microSD (saved my ass 😅)

- wipe data / factory reset

- install zip --> ROM's zip

... and that's it !!!

Install failed and the tablet rebooted and then got stuck on the Asus logo.

Had to manually enter recovery mode again and restore my backed up previous data/system... including the f@#€&g bug that impeach me to browse the Internet ! 😡

Some pictures of the log before trying to install and during the install are attached.

I know this thread is long deserted for a long time now, but I still hope that someone will help me here... 😥😢😭😭😭
[Asus Transformer TF701] ed_bracam:
Same problem for me. Web browsing doesn't work at all. Gmail crashes.
[Asus Transformer TF701] ed_bracam:
it seems to be this issue:

People with older Android phones might not be able to surf the web in 2021

Time for an upgrade.

sea.mashable.com

I could browse on internet using Firefox. It looks to be the root certificate problem. Obsolescence...
[Asus Transformer TF701] raf1978:
Interesting article, thanks.

If the problem of browsing the Internet derives from an old root certificate, wouldn't installing the "latest" ROM fix the issue ?

As posted above, I use the KatKiss 6.0.1 ROM : wouldn't installing the 7.1.2 #39 version fix the issue ? It would be great if someone using this latest version could tell us here about their browsing experience so far...

But again, I'm stuck with my problem installing this latest version !!! :.(

PLEASE ! HELP ! (The 5th Element movie, for reference... ;P )
[Asus Transformer TF701] ed_bracam:
Hi,

My device was running the version #35 and was very laggy. I tried to wipe through trwp. Unfortunately the partition were corrupted and I followed some post info making formatting of partitions to retrieve partition size not to 0.

I got also issues with the #39. I recommend to downland and install first the #38 version. If it works, directly install the #39 over the #38 version.

I have installed the #39 version successfully and it seems that internet is still not working with google tools. Only firefox is working.

I hope it will help you.
[Asus Transformer TF701] raf1978:
I followed your advice and tried to download version #38, but the link looks dead (error 404)

:cry:
[Asus Transformer TF701] ed_bracam:
Use the mirror link in the first post
[Asus Transformer TF701] raf1978:
I didn't think of that one ! ^^ Thanks ! Now I have the #38 version.

Just hope install will succeed this time... I really want to try this awesion ROM on 7.1.2 !

@ed_bracam You succeeded on installing it on your device, right ?

Would you mind having a look on my previous post (#442) where I explain what I did while trying (and failed) to install #39 ?!

Did I do something wrong/missed something ?

I don't want to repeat the same process(mistake) again with the #38 version if I can avoid it...

For the Internet browsing issue, I'll keep it with Firefox from now on ! (not my favorite browser, but the only one still working)
[Asus Transformer TF701] mcs1973:
Hi there. I just revived my TF-701 and installed this ROM in order to have latest android.

System seems to work right, but I'm finding some trouble with some games.

I have tried a couple of them, but when they start I get a scrambled screen. Sound works, and game starts, but video is not showing anything but scrambled data. Only thing I can do is close it.

I would like to know if you could install from google play any of this two games and tell me if they work right in your devices:

Pinball Deluxe: Reloaded

or:

Altered Beast Classic

SEGA

Basically, I would like to know if it is a bad installation, or just this ROM is not compatible with all programs.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you guys.

P.D. I did a search on forum, if this has been talked before, please point me to the right post.
[Asus Transformer TF701] lennykravitz2004:
if anybody else had issues with some kind of update over the past month-ish or so, I simply did a "Factory Reset" in TWRP and the tablet seems to be working well again, only been about four hours so far, however all buttons work again and all apps seem to work (ones still supported by android v7)

firefox for me only fills about half the width of the page, the default kat browser works great

Issues I had were:

buttons in tray to see open apps did not work, except for the back arrow (very bottom left in tray, beneath the app icons in the tray)

reboot options went from 4 down to 2

Google Play stopped functioning and would not update apps any longer
[Asus Transformer TF701] 19deke55:
I've had my Asus TF701t since it came out in 2014. Great specs. I used to use it with SOLIDWORKS at Uni for creating engineering plans. It was almost as good as a fast pc.

So disappointing that Asus abandoned it so quickly. I won't by another Asus because of that. It was a quite expensive tablet at the time so for it to be thrown on the scrap heap so early is sad.

I've had the KatKiss OS installed and working but found it to be too limited in what it could do with apps. At least that's the way I remember it. I've tried a lot to get this ROM and that ROM to work with no success other than KatKiss. I've not used the tablet now for a couple of years since even a half decent mobile phone can out run it. Mostly because there's no development ongoing with the Asus. Such a shame. About the only thing it's any good for is as a large shiny coaster. Thanks Asus. Local recycle here I come.
[Asus Transformer TF701] mitchum67:
After failed install I tried several times installing again, and now it works fine !!

for someone how run into the same problem:

If you get a bootloop, switch off your device (holding vol+ and power until it switch off)

hold vol- and power until it switch on, wait until you see 3 small icons. Choose the first icon and you are back in recovery..

(But now Iˋm missing a file-explorer...[emoji4] should there someone preinstalled,?)
[Asus Transformer TF701] jowabro:
I did everything like in the desciription step by step. wifi is still buggy but the tablet hasnt crashed since yesterday anymore.
[Asus Transformer TF701] msssm:
Hi, after my TF300T and TF700T all running Katkiss, I tried my new TF701T with your brand new rom. But I can't find a TWRP. So it that (buggy) KANG TWRP the only recovery available for the TF701T? I installed that, but it does not have F2FS available, not even via adb. Any idea how to format /data to f2fs and which Recovery is recommended?
[Asus Transformer TF701] jeffw111:
Unfortunately it's not currently possible to use F2FS on TF701 from what I understand the boot loader is not allowing it. Even when you do manage to format it to F2FS the boot loader treats it as if the DATA partition is corrupted and proceeds to re-format it back to EXT4. So until someone manages to find a way around the boot loader problem no F2FS for now. To be honest even without it this ROM is very snappy already performance wise.
