I am trying to dirty flash this ROM and am getting two errors. One one line in red I am getting "E: ERROR Executing updater binary in zip, and a few lines down, E: Unable to mount /system. I have done this a few times with older versions with no problems. Anybody have an ideas what is going wrong this time?

Ran the install again and it worked, but all my apps are gone. Data is still there!

Timduru! Same question like in katkiss 6.0: can you add a dark theme of main menu in next update?
[Asus Transformer TF701] McSym:
Used the old firmware 4.4 for long time.

I could not go into the recovery. I could not reflash the recovery - the cable worked only for charging.

I bought a cable recently. I flashed the recovery, KatKis, the gaps and the superuser.

I am delighted for the moment - the firmware flies! Everything is convenient, like a curtain top and a line from the bottom. Many new settings, multi-line works. And all the programs began to work much faster. Akkumulator keeps the charge normal. The camera does not work, but I almost never used it on the tablet.

I advise everyone!

Hi, I´ve been using this rom for a couple of years and I have some questions.

Is it going be updated?

Hi!

I have katkiss 031 installed on tf701 and I tried to update to 035, but every time I try to boot to recovery, the recovery kernel crashes, leaving me with nothing but the image of a dead android on the screen...

How can I get the recovery kernel to boot properly?

EDIT: It still boots into 031 just fine. It just won't do recovery....

[MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] After the usual sweating over the buggy TWRP I was able to update my ROM with your latest implemented security fixes. The updated ROM (together with a wipe of Dalvik cache) brought back the old speed of the device. Recently it was lagging a lot in the GUI.

Once again, thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF701] jaholm:
Did you check /system/bin/logd? Sometimes in the past it uses constantly 25%, my tf701 gets laggy and the cpu will heaten my tf701. After killing this process my tf701 gets normal.
[Asus Transformer TF701] jake3317:
I remember that process being the cause of heating up the device, because of keeping the CPU active at a high frequency. this wasn't the case recently. I am glad I have the speed back

Only bummer is that both metal lips inside the dock hinge have broken off. One time I had a hard time folding open the tablet/dock. Most likely the necessary force to get it done, has given to much stress on those lips.

Without them, the tablet is quite wobbly in the dock and is only hold in place by the 2 small arms of the locking mechanism and the dock connector.

YouTube learns me that the spring inside the dock might be overloaded and needs readjustment.

I wonder if I can replace those broken lips, since I worry about the tablet connector, which now takes all the load while in docking mode.

SafetyNet

First off [MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION], thanks for maintaining this project alive. It's great that you make it possible to extend the useful lifespan of this still capable device with its still unique super sharp, 2K hi-res screen.

I have a question about the SafetyNet test. I've tried your Marshmallow 6.0.1 version of Katkiss and it seems to pass the Basic Integrity test from Android's SafetyNet, but when I run the same test on this current Katkiss Nougatella 7.1.2 (37b) version, it fails the test. Basic Integrity.

What are possible reason for that?

I currently have the device unrooted and it still fails the basic test.

When I had the device on Katshmallow 6.0.1 it passed basic integrity unrooted or rooted alike.

Difficult to say as they don't really mention what they are testing

Could be mostly depending on the android version, I don't think they run the same tests.

selinux & certain encryption levels needs to be enforced starting with certain android versions and such for example.

so could be that.

[MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION] My kids tablets are on Nougatella from January 2018 (can't remember version). Can I dirty flash the latest release or not? Also they complain some games (not heavy on hardware, little kids games) they play start, there is sound/music, but the screen is black or some other color and not the game. Some of them used to work, but after game update the abnormal behavior is observed. Could that be related to Android requirements? Have you made any fixes towards that or would you have any idea why that is. I've tried 2 of them on my OnePlus running Android 8 and they do work ..

InvalidSize

Hello,

I am a real noob, but i am asking some help because after 3 hours, i .

I download all files.

I install "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" on my PC

I install TWRP on my tablet (TF701t)

I unlock my tablet with "0820-0954_SIGNED_UnLock_for_TF701_repart.apk"

Now, i am trying to follow step by step

Go to recovery TWRP >= 2.8.X

Make a full wipe - format /data

Flash the rom

Flash SuperSU

Flash gapps

Wipe cache/dalvik

Reboot

When i use TWRP, i can only dwd a blob file, but i can't do anything with.

So I lauch the command : "adb reboot bootloader" and then : fastboot boot zImage_dtb ramfs.img.gz

And now i am root.

So I lauch the command : "adb reboot bootloader" and then : fastboot format data

Now, i try to 'flash the ROM', so i had unzip "KatKiss-7.1_TF701T_037b.zip" in "Minimal ADB and Fastboot"s folder

and i launch "fastboot flash recovery boot.img"

and i have the error :

target didn't report max-download-size

sending 'recovery' (6354 KB)

FAILED (command write failed (No error))

Is there somewhere a tutorial which explain step by step, because i don t understand what i have to do.... Or if someone can explain me !

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Be happy that the flash did not work, otherwise you would have a flashed a boot.img to the recovery partition... :(

When you say: I installed TWRP, I suspect you are talking about the TWRP app?

That's not a recovery. You fastboot flash a recovery, you do not install it via app - or at least I would not recommend it.

Download either the experimental TWRP 3.2.1 or the 2.8 Kang TWRP from their respective thread here in Original Development and copy that file into your adb fastboot folder.

Then run: fastboot flash recovery <filename>, insert name of the twrp file

then: fastboot reboot recovery - that should boot you into recovery

Go to "Wipe" and run a full format of /data which can take an hour - do not interrupt it.

Then flash the rom zip (do NOT unzip it) which you should have on your microSD since everything in internal storage has been wiped: Go to "Install", navigate to the microSD, select the rom zip, swipe the button

Then flash gapps (also from your microSD) and reboot.

And don't forget to read the red text in the install instructions in the OP ;)

wi-fi issues on battery persist

Tim,

Putting the tab w v17 through a lot of tests, and most everything looks great! However, I AM still having the issue where wi-fi disconnects when I'm streaming audio (only on battery, it keeps playing fine when plugged in.) Same issue I had with Marshmallow.

I have verified that I have wi-fi set to never sleep, and I have turned off battery optimization on the audio apps (Amazon music, SiriusXM, etc.) Still, after about 7-8 mins of playing, the stream stops due to wireless dropping. I'm attaching a log file with some "interesting" exceptions/errors that *may* help.

Looking at your 7.1 changelog, it looks like you've been doing some work on networking for the next build, so maybe you're already aware of this...?

Thanks again.
[Asus Transformer TF701] jaholm:
Hi,

I'm able to write to external SD card e.g. with Locus, and therefore I'm very happy. No need of using xposed with a special module like in M.

Is this standard in KatKiss? This is nowhere described in thread.
[Asus Transformer TF701] smcmanus69:
I have installed the latest (January 17th Build).

And it installed no problem. It seems to handle my dock with no problems, everything is fast and pretty zippy. (I haven't tested Bluetooth Mouse yet.).

The only problem arrises is when I format my microSD (128 GB) as a Internal SD, and not external. it formated ok, but the tablet seemed to lock up randomly, I think it was upon trying to utilize the memory. If I go to the System memu and go to menory, it shows the 2 memory slots , and the amount in internal memory free, which includes both (about 142 GB free). But any application can only see the built in memory and not the Extended microSD memory. Actually I can't find any way to access the memory at all, Even if plugged into a computer, etc.

If I format it as portable everything works fine. But I have games I cant install, (XCom, Baldars Gate, etc) basically all multi GB purchased games.

Let me know if anyone has some Ideas.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Kashban:
Holy cow, this is fast! My TF 701 never felt so speedy and fun to use!

I didn't factory reset the device (only wiped cache/dalvik) coming from KatKiss Marshmallow (V 32) and everything still seems to work, which is a miracle in itself.

Running some benchs now but so far this is the best ROM I ever had installed on the TF701.

Funny enough two of my oldest devices (Nexus 7 2013 and the TF701) now run the newest Android Version while my Sony XPeria 3 Compact and Galaxy S6 still only have 6.0.1 :).

I am guessing that Android 8 or 9 is not being developed for this tablet? I have been running Katkiss 7.1.2 on it for some time and it is great! It is a shame Android manufacturers abandon these devices after a year or so. This tablet runs Android 7 smoother than the original version that came on it years ago, which I believe was 4!

[Asus Transformer TF701] libor_m:
Hi, I know this is OT but as you are doing this awesome work, I would like to ask if there is any way to unlock the bootloader other then the official way. Asus replaced a screen on my tablet couple years ago and probably messed something with imei/sn or whatever. Because of this the official bootloader unlock tool doesn't work. They need me to send the tablet to them to correct it but I cannot afford to be without the tablet for 30 days as it is my daily working tool.
[Asus Transformer TF701] timduru:
Yeah you should be able to dirty flash the latest version.

But as usual if it doesn't work be prepared to do a clean install ;)

black screen could be many things, it's been doing that for some time on the TF101 for some recent games

it's mostly if they use something that the binary graphic blobs cannot handle

As I don't have the source for these, there's not much I can do unfortunately.

A wrapper might eventually be developped around it and implement what is missing / causing issues, but I don't have time for that currently.

I can try to check in case I find something more obvious in the logs as a start,

so post them, otherwise can't really guess .

not by me

Written for the TF700 but the procedure is exactly the same.

The only difference is the recovery itself. TWRP never released one for the TF701, so use the 2.8 Kang version or the 3.2 that are posted in this forum. The 2.8 Kang works but is a little buggy. I have not tried the 3.2 but haven't heard anything bad about it.
