[Asus Transformer TF701] faktorqm:
Success!! :D

Hi! I installed this ROM successfully and I'm very happy with it! Thanks a lot to timduru for maintaining this tablet alive!

I want to share my experience, and my steps done. Maybe it helps to another newbies to reach this rom successfully as I did. I'm not an experienced android developer, so I had to read everything from scratch.

First of all, I read the entire rom with android 6 thread. Then I read the thread with Android 7. As I share my tablet with my wife and the android 6 has no multiuser option, I decided to install android 7 hoping timduru to fix in the future the camera problem. It's not important for me at all, If I took 2 photos in last 4 years with that camera, I'm overreacting :P

Reading the android 6 thread, I found this post with a great starters guide. So I followed and also this post with the Kang TWRP. (and all the problems related to)

So, with the north set on having V11.4.1.29 in order to be able to install kang twrp, I started seeing what version of android I had using this post post 3 thread kang twrp. I found v10.26.1.18 US version (android 4.3). So I updated to V11.4.1.17 (android 4.4) via software update. Then did another update and finally got V11.4.1.29.

Now I had to unlock my device. I don't even know why, but in berndblb post it showed up. I activated USB debugging option. Then activated the Unknown Sources, copied the apk downloaded from asus and followed all the steps. It went fine and now I see a message during the boot "This device is unlocked". This step deleted all my data, users, and give me a factory resetted android. (I didn't care because I already did a backup, but I don't see this warning in any post)

Then I had to install ADB tools, fastboot tools and drivers for the device. I have windows 10 insider preview and I used this post and all worked fine. I installed the exe, activated USB debugging option on the tablet again, then I connected to the computer, accepted the RSA key and then I started with the Kang TWRP post.

The post abour flashing has 2 files, one called "FASTBOOT IMGs" and another one called "FLASHABLE ZIPS INCLUDING LATEST BOOTLOADER". I didn't know which one I should use, but the second one scared me and I googled for another how to's and all of them talking about img files, so I choose the fastboot img file.

I did:

adb devices

and I got my device listed. Then

adb reboot bootloader

and the tablet restarted and showed me 3 icons.

Then I did

fastboot devices

and the tablet was not listed, and this command is not present in any how to, I looked for it on the command help. I disconnected the USB, connected again, ran the command again and it showed up. Then ran

flash recovery 701_twrp_2870.img

and then

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Here showed up the 3 icons again. As I don't know what to select, I googled it and I finally selected RCK which appear to be the "recovery icon" or something like that. The fact is selecting that icon showed up the twrp :D :D :D

Another warning: This commands differ from the ones present on the berndblb post because they are for another tablet model, but following as guideline and looking for the right commands it works 100%. It's the same process, with diferent files.

Once I got twrp working, I copied the rom, gapps and supersu files to the microsd and followed this post instructions step by step.

I formatted data, and it failed. Then I wiped (pressed wipe button) and it failed too. Then I have tried to format data again, and it worked. Then I wiped again and it worked. So I installed rom, then super su, then gapps. Wipe cache/dalvik and restarted. Everything worked fine!

So I will try this rom and I hope to report any finding (if any). Summarizing the general steps were:

update android to a version which work with kang twrp.

do asus unlock

install ADB/fastboot tools

installl kang twrp

install rom

Thanks a lot to berndblb, timduru and all the people involved in this software!!! :D :good: :laugh:
