[Eee Pad Transformer General] aat596:
Yes, it could be the reason. If you run into multiple problems, try to format /system in TWRP and then try it again with only the SD Card.

Btw, what version is your TF101? SBKv1 or SBKv2? I have SBKv1, that could be another problem (but I'm not sure, as the SD Card is partition-independent, and the kernel blob file is compatible for both versions)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] oink666:
Very nice image !

Just tested and looks very promising.

USB mouse and keyboard gets detected but don't work.

Yep, that's one of the things mentioned in the TODO list in my guide (look at nearly the end)

We have to compile xf86-mtrack-driver to get it working (there's no such driver in Alpine repos)

I lack a bit of C knowledge to get it working (because it fails when compiling), so help is appreciated :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] riptide981:
Awesome work.

Any chance of dual boot?

Thank you
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aat596:
You can only dual boot if you have installed postmarketOS in your microSD or SD Card. If not, you (probably) have to wipe your partition where postmarketOS is located for booting Android again.

Well, the easiest way to do dual-boot is this:

In the sdcard folder or whatever folder you want, put the Android ROM zip and PostmarketOS' kernel zip.

The Android ROM (I'm using timduru's ROM: https://xdaforums.com/eee-pad-transformer/development/rom-t3318496) can be downloaded here: https://downloads.timduru.org/android/tf101/K.A.T/KatKiss/6.0/dev/KatKiss-6.0_034.zip

The PostmarketOS' kernel zip can be downloaded here: https://github.com/antonialoytorrens/TF101-linux-images/raw/master/postmarketOS/kernel_zip/PostmarketOS-kernel-3.1.10-15.zip

If you want Android, go to recovery and flash timduru's ROM.

If you want PostmarketOS, go to recovery and flash my kernel zip (please, disable signature verification when flashing)

XFCE 2.0

A newer XFCE image is available to download. Download it here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tf101-linux-images/files/postmarketOS/xfce-postmarketOS-TF101-v2.0.zip

A little screenshot:

Notes about this release:

v2.0

- Changed icons (https://github.com/vinceliuice/vimix-icon-theme) and GTK (https://github.com/vinceliuice/vimix-gtk-themes) of XFCE. Now it is a modern XFCE.

- Removed second panel to save space.

- The XFCE Whiskermenu does not close when typing in onboard.

· Other things that will be included in the next release:

- Make a desktop shortcut opening a browser linking this XDA thread.

- Try to get trackpad working

v1.0

- Initial Release
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gh05tface:
Cool stuff - i tried the latest v2.0 image but ran into some issues:

If I have the keyboard docked it won't boot - it ends up with a blinking cursor top left of the screen and a bunch of errors are shown repeatedly during bootup.

Without the keyboard it boots correctly - keyboard wont work if attaching the keyboard after the system is up.

https://photos.google.com/share/AF1...?key=UUFNdVNfZ3N6X0ZOX054eDJLYWxWd0tPYThCV1dR

Any idea on what I could try to get this going?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aat596:
I have just redownloaded zip file from sourceforge and I don't have this problem, so I don't know what it could be...

But there are some questions I would like to ask you:

- Does your keyboard work on Android? You can test it by flashing Timduru's Android image (https://downloads.timduru.org/android/tf101/K.A.T/KatKiss/6.0/dev/KatKiss-6.0_034.zip).

- Have you tried to do your own XFCE from scratch? https://github.com/antonialoytorrens/TF101-linux-images#doing-xfce-from-scratch. Hope this works, otherwise a patch for this kernel is needed.

- By the way, what version is your TF101? SBKv1 or SBKv2? I have SBKv1.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gh05tface:
- Yes keyboard works in android and twrp.

- Haven't tried rolling my own yet but might give it a shot later

- SBKv1

I noticed something else, the keyboard did start to work after a couple tries when docked after logging in however the system acts very strangely, it drops me back to the login screen soon after and after a couple times doing that it crashes completely.

I did flash the blob via the zip from twrp as I couldn't find my usb cable, according to the script in there all it does is dd over the partition same as the manual instructions suggest. Also the blob has the same md5 sum as the one in the v2 archive of yours so I guess that shouldn't matter?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aat596:
I experienced (sometimes, not always) that the firmware was not detected and WiFi was not working if the blob was flashed via my zip file.

But if I flashed with dd the blob, the firmware was detected correctly.

So maybe this solves the problem if you roll your own XFCE from scratch.

The best way to test it though is in the wiki: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/ASUS_Eee_Pad_Transformer_(asus-tf101)

If you cannot find the USB cable, then the only way to flash the blob (I think) is accessing root on Timduru's ROM (I think TWRP 2.8 does not have an integrated shell for TF101) using Magisk, install a terminal emulator and run dd from there.

Here is the raw blob: https://github.com/antonialoytorrens/TF101-linux-images/raw/master/postmarketOS/kernel_zip/blob-asus-tf101
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gh05tface:
Got a cable now from a friend.

I did some research and I am wondering, maybe my keyboard dock is not up2date firmware wise? It sounds to me like there were some updates released by ASUS where you have to additionally run some keyboard update installer so I am not sure if the keyboard is actually flashed with something or if its just an update for their stock android rom.

I'll do some more digging and will also try the manual install.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aat596:
Sure! Let me know how things are going.

I used once EasyFlasher to flash latest stock + firmware Android on my TF101 before (https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1688012).

It worked for me but I ran into some issues https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1688012&page=38. Hope this helps a little bit on your research.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] citricacid_pl:
Ok. Downloaded. Good that Earth is not flat and America was sleeping ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] citricacid_pl:
Hi there. I managed to install the postmarketOS with your image. However I cannot make the network to run. I have edited the file:

`/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf` to contain the SSID and password similar to this:

network={
ssid="ssid_name"
psk="password"
}

Rebooted and tried this `sudo wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf`. The output was:

How to start WiFi?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aat596:
Using my zip posted here https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=83419483&postcount=3 can sometimes lead to errors relating to WiFi firmware.

First of all (just in case), have you flashed the blob using dd and adb? Like it says in the wiki: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/ASUS_Eee_Pad_Transformer_(asus-tf101)

I mean,

dd if=/cache/blob-asus-tf101 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

Edit: Are you using an SD Card and the XFCE image?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aat596:
I'm also from Europe, but I think that SourceForge only provides mirrors if the project has so many downloads. Otherwise, the only mirror that provides is the main one in California. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] citricacid_pl:
Yes I did. However did that from Mac, not from Linux.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aat596:
Are you using MicroSD or SD Card?

Edit: You could also try it to do it from scratch, it may help to solve your issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] citricacid_pl:
I used 8 GB Kingston MicroSD card.

I'll try that from scratch from some Linux machine later.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aat596:
I have now installed my version of postmarketOS. I have run into similar issues about WiFi.

Somehow fw_bcmdhd.bin was not detected correctly when flashing my image.

But, and here's the thing:

Made an image from scratch (none desktop environment, the minimal one)

Renamed firmware files as posted in the wiki

Rebooted, Network was detected (use nmtui program to scan and connect WiFi)

Rebooted, flashed my XFCE image on SD Card

Network was detected

Finally working, weird kernel stuff is going on...

I think I'll modify later the XFCE image to rename firmware files manually after installation. With this method (as demonstrated with the image from scratch), things are working.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] citricacid_pl:
Great news! Waiting for new release. Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aat596:
XFCE 3.0 soon!

Got Bluetooth working (at least from the linux terminal). I'll post a new image as soon as I can.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] citricacid_pl:

Does it work properly for TF101G?

Great job aat596! :)

I would like to install linux on my tablet Asus TF101G (I believe the same tablet as yours but with sim slot as well). Do you think that or is there anyone who has already tested your Native Linux that can tell me that the flash works fine on such device?

Besides, is there any possibility to do everything using MS Windows?

Thank you and continue with your work! :fingers-crossed
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aat596:
Great question.

If you feel adventurous, you can be the first one to test it. Make sure you have TWRP installed, if something bad happens.

And try to flash it onto sdcard.

Anyway, the kernel used in this images is the same on this post: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2648862

So I'm 99% sure it will boot.

Nevertheless, there are the known issues in the wiki and sim card won't work (probably).

Regarding MS Windows, the most important commands are adb and writing an image (instead of dd, use an image writer program).

So, it could be done (I have dual boot with MS, could try and test).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] vitodisabato:
Thank you for your quick answer.

I will probably do that, but although I've already tried in the past to install custom roms and once I bricked the tablet. I think I'll have many questions to ask you. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aat596:
Sure! Ask me whatever you want! Don't worry if it could seem too obvious or the list is long, we are here to answer :)

Offtopic: I also hard bricked this tablet once and it couldn't even power on. With EasyFlasher, all solved.

The main advantage of the Eee Pad Transformers is that all of them cannot be never hard bricked :)

How to install recovery

Thank you again aat596 :) . I'm trying to flash recovery but Im really not sure how to do on the tablet. I downloaded the files from here https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2434422 but the "classic" procedure via fastboot seems not to work for our tablets. May you please explain me or share any link which guides me through out the flashing of the twrp?

I read that easyflasher doesnt work for my tablet TF101G
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aat596:
See this link I posted in Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/asustransformer/comments/inm9j7/asus_transformer_need_rooting_advice/

As you mention, if Easyflasher does not work for TF101G, only 2nd method works.

This is for the TF101, with TF101G you should download the TWRP according to the link you sent me before. I don't know if there's other form, but I don't personally want to test tools like Kingroot, Kingoroot or OneClickRoot tools, as I don't know what they do.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] vitodisabato:
I opened your link but I can't see any link in there. What it shows is someone who asks for rooting advices (My tablet is already rooted :) ).

. Is there any section I should click?

EDIT: Now I cant see anymore the link. I have an HTTP error 400. Can you please share here the link?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aat596:
Strange that you don't see the comment. Anyway, here's the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/asustransformer/comments/inm9j7/asus_transformer_need_rooting_advice/gcnyjco/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

I'll post here a pdf with instructions also. Ignore the Done at the beginning of the document.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aat596:
Your tablet is already rooted? Glad of hearing it, a lot of steps in the pdf are skipped.

To sum up, download TWRP according to your device, connect your TF101G to your computer and do:

$ adb push TWRP.blob /sdcard
$ adb shell
$ su
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
# dd if=/sdcard/TWRP.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
# reboot

This command -> dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 -> Clears flag or something that sometimes causes boot loop.

This command -> dd if=/sdcard/TWRP.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 -> Flashes the TWRP into recovery partition (located in /dev/block/mmcblk0p4)

Tell me how things are going, with these steps TWRP should boot when you enter recovery.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] vitodisabato:
Thanks a lot for the PDF version. Sorry but Im a bit dumb at those kind of things. According to your instructions I have to execute the exploit. How do I do that? Just copy and paste in adb?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aat596:

Assuming your device is rooted, no need to do all the steps of the pdf.

Sorry again. How can I connect the tablet to the pc?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aat596:
Yes, same process, the difference is the bluetooth. It's working in this release.

When you boot up postmarketOS, don't forget to open a xfce terminal and do:

$ sudo ash rename-firmware.sh

As described in the main post (release notes). Reboot the device and you are done.

Just boot into TWRP recovery, adb will be detected by the pc.

Connect it via usb (like you did when flashing the recovery, right? :confused: ) and done.

Hello,

I've just setup my tf101 with the postmarketOS, removed xfce4 and setup jwm with xdm. I'm wondering if anyone managed to get a internet browser working? I managed to get some to load some websites but the average html5+javascript doesn't seem to render properly, i wonder if it's because of the gpu drivers...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aat596:
Hello Terramoto, sorry for the late reply.

Currently browsing the Internet is almost a no-go with this tablet.

As you guessed, there're no gpu drivers and the kernel is too old for this modern distribution, so some features cannot even work (currently kernel.org ships with 5.10 kernel and this tablet has 3.x.x kernel).

The only solution to resolve your issue is to try some older EOLed images from this thread:

I suggest you to try Lubuntu 12.04 or LXDE ones.

The browser is Firefox 52, quite old but still usable. You can install Chromium too.

Hello,

Waiting to get one USB 3.0 40 Pin Data Sync Charger Cable to get back to life my old FT101 /B60

Never really used so much this tablet so it looks brand new.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] :
This is great. Thanks for bringing to life my old tf101. Any plans for adding a more touch screen friendly desktop environment such as gnome? I'm not sure if phosh would work with the size of screen. I lost my keyboard for the tf101 so xfce or mate are a bit harder to use with just the touch screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aat596:
The main problem we have is the GPU. Unfortunately, its support as of now is very primitive. Otherwise, it could run gnome and/or phosh with almost no hassle.

I haven't tried how it's the performance with gnome, but I'm almost certain that it will be unusable, as the tablet has only 1GB of RAM and a non-working GPU.

I got a replacement device from OP and I was unlocking the bootloader and rooting it. The guide i used had the incorrect patched boot image and everything went bad quick.

I can't go anywhere except fastboot now, can't boot to OS, no OS installed.

TWRP WAS booting from fastboot, I pushed the rom from there and flashed it...said no OS installed after, I installed it on both slots.

I can't get into EDL mode, the volume keys work...I think, but the second I let go of them when it's plugged in it defaults back to fastboot immediately. I tried the bat file that people use, says it worked, phone stays in fastboot.

I even tried holding the volume keys the entire time but the MSM tool wouldn't read it enough to flash anything, although it did read it enough to register some data, but was stuck on "waiting for device".

I am in need of some major help. Now I can't even temp boot to twrp, getting an error failed authorization. I'm afraid I really messed things up.

I have 5 days to send my old device back. Please help!

For EDL mode, you need to hold the buttons then plug it in while continuing to hold the buttons. It won't work if the phone is already plugged into a usb port and then you try and get into EDL.
