[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dandipp:
So i had my pad working but i wanted to put KatKiss on it. Seen some cool features like the multi window...

So i used to do a lot of ROMs on phones a long time ago, when i had extra time. Recenntly i have been playing with Android TV boxes.

So i found my old TF101 tablet. It was working. Looked like i did customize it at some point with a ROM....

Anyways, i felt like smart earlier today and wanted to play around and update the ROM on this pad bc i wanted to start to use it more.... Long story short.

So I got TWRP installed but i just noticed it is only version 2.5.0.0 not 2.8.1 - Maybe this is the main issue with what was going on???

Because, I made a recovery/backup and then I was following the steps on the ROM thread for installing this ROM on my TF101

[ROM][MM 6.0.1] [ KatKiss - KatshMallow #034 ] [MultiWindow]

Then I got to this step:

The first time you install: Format /data (full wipe doesn't format)

After i did this all my zips were gone (setting up the install) and everything even the backup i created, gone... I must of did the wrong kind of wipe like an idiot,,,

So, I then used adb and tried to sideload it.

In TWRP i went to ADB Sideload option. enabled it and it would upload it:

C:\Users\Danny\Documents\ASUS-TF101-ROMS-Development\platform-tools>adb start-server

C:\Users\Danny\Documents\ASUS-TF101-ROMS-Development\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
42890844040e117 recovery

C:\Users\Danny\Documents\ASUS-TF101-ROMS-Development\platform-tools>adb sideload C:\Users\Danny\Documents\ASUS-TF101-ROMS-Development\KatKiss-6.0_034.zip
adb: sideload connection failed: closed
adb: trying pre-KitKat sideload method...
sending: 'C:\Users\Danny\Documents\ASUS-TF101-ROMS-Development\KatKiss-6.0_034.zip' 100%

But after it uploads and i try and install it

It uploads that ROM .zip file from my laptop terminal as shown above. However the sideload.zip fails in TWRP:

It shows this:

Starting ADB sideload feature...
Installing '/data/media/sideload.zip'...
Checking MD5
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/data/media/sideload.zip'

So that was not working....

Then i did a adb push of the file to /sdcard/ but every time i try and install the KatKiss-6.0_034.zip file via TWRP 2.5 it fails with this error in TWRP:

Updating partition details...
Installing '/sdcard/KatKiss-6.0_034.zip'...
Checking MD5
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
Updating partition details...

So i was able to push and install CyanogenMod (cm-10-20130929-NIGHTLY-tf101.zip) without any issues. So i am confused here....

I am wondering what the issue was with KatKiss ROM i was trying to install?

Should i update TWRP and then try again??

What would be the best way for me to get this working with other ROMS like KatKiss??

I did not do anything special at all when i flashed CyanogenMod - cm-10-20130929-NIGHTLY-tf101 successfully.

I pushed it and installed it like i was with KatKiss Rom....

Also, anyone have any other suggested ROMS for TF101 tablet?? A newer one? I know its an old tablet...

Thanks in advance!!!
