Hi,
I was trying to update the Android Revolution HD ROM (I had it already installed).
I did the super wipe first, but when I tried to install the rom file, the recovery says it is bad (verification failed).
So right now I have no rom installed so I need access to the memory so I can send the new rom file to the tablet.
My recovery version in roach-tf101-r2 v5.5.0.4 and I could not find an option to access the files on my pc.
Can anyone help me right now? Thank you
you need to connect via ADB then push the rom file to your sdcard
Hi,
After 1 year my warranty is now off and i'm starting to replace the slow stock rom by CROMi-X rom.
My tab is a 4.2.1 / 10.6.1.14.8 stock rom and so far here is what i have done :
- backup all my apps with Titanium Backup and copy them on my PC
- unlock with Asus unlock tool
- install goomanager
- install OpenRecoveryScript from within goomanager
Now i'm downloading the deodex cromi-x 4.7.0 before doing next steps.
I have few questions :
- TWRP was it installed when i installed goomanager and OpenRecoveryScript or did I miss a step ?
in thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223492 it's indicated :
If you are already rooted then use goomanager to install the latest TWRP via the menu
So I believe I have to do something inside goomanager but i don't find literaly in its menu the option "install latest TWRP".
Coud you please indicate me what option of the menu I have to use to do that step ?
- i've chosen deodex in case i'd like to add theme. is it your own choice or do you prefer odex ?
- is it interesting to install nvflash (i'm sure anyway that my tab is compatible with that) ?
- nandroid backup : is it done from inside TWRP (after boot recovery) ?
- navigate backup to install : is it done from inside TWRP (after boot recovery) ?
That's all for the moment, thanks in advance for your assistance

I see in some other threads that this is the goomanager option "install recoveryscript" that install TWRP and now i see in my tab inside folder goomanager that there is a file openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-tf700t.blob. It seems to me that this is the rwrp tool. Am I right ? Then it means that I could now boot on recovery (option Rebbot Recovery inside goo manager + Power and Volume Down and hit Volume up on the RCK icon in the 10.6.1.x bootloader screen) to do next actions (backup my current rom and then install the cromi-x rom).
Question : Do I need to do a factory reset ?

- I did not use goo to install the twrp, so I don't know how it works...
- I believe that you use goo to find the latest twrp and install it yourself using goo. There must be a menu or button that you can use to install twrp or other custom recovery.
- You can not use NVFlash to backup your blob if your tab has a rom version later than ICS .26.
- Yes, you can nandroid backup from TWRP when you have it installed.
- I use both of them to test out the theory of performance. I don't know if one is better than the other. However, I have noticed that Sbdags has more tweaks in the build.prop of Odex version comparing with Deodex. Only Sbdags can answer that question for. You could try both and test them yourself. Hope that I answer all yourquestions..
- Yes, you can restore your backup from TWRP.
The post above me has a good question for you. Goo needs root permission to install any custom recovery. You can use motochopper to get root if you have not had it. Good luck.
To install twrp recovery using Goo you must be rooted first tha'ts why I asked have you used motochopper to root.

To install twrp using Goo is easy, open Goo, look in the top right hand corner for the three dot click on it then click on install open recovery.
Wait for twrp to download and your tablet should boot into update mode and you should see a blue bar build from the left when it's finished it should reboot ans you should then have twrp installed.
You can download quick boot from the play store and when you open it you will see an option to enter recovery, the easy way,

You don't imagine how many times I've read the CROMI-X instruction (link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223492) in order to be sure not to brick my tab !
I don't see any missing task or any wrong thing that i've done. But this is the first time I ever install an alternate rom on an android device and even if i'm working in computing, this is quite new for me and I might be wrong. So if you have a few minutes to check my resume below, I would be very grateful to have your remarks or questions
My current configuration :
- stock rom 4.2.1
- bootloader 10.6.1.14.8
- root (via motochooper)
What I have done :
- download "CROMi-Xenogenesis 4.7.0 DEODEX" from CROMI-X thread link
and copy the zip file (CROMi-Xenogenesis DEODEX 4.7.0_Signed.zip) to the internal SD card
- backup all my apps and data (with Titanium Backup) and copy it on my computer
- unlocked the tab (via asus unlock tool) : at bootup it displays "the device is unlocked"
- twrp installed (via goo manager / install OpenRecoveryScript)
- quick boot installed (as i was not sure of how to use twrp)
- boot on recovery (via quick boot) : i'm now in TWRP v2.6.0.0
- done backup of 3 partitions (system, data, boot)
If I read the CROMI-X thread, it says that now I have to :
- Navigate back up to install (inside TWRP)
- Choose the CROMi-Xenogensis zip file and follow the instructions
- Enjoy

Yes what you have done sounds right, one thing I normally do is back up all the partitions, and I copy the back up to the micro sdcard that I have mounted in the tablet.

I don't have any micro-sdcard and my largest sdcard (to connect to the dock) is not large enough (1 Gb). So i've quit TWRP and connect the tab to my PC to copy the TWRP/Backup folder to my computer.
The copy from my tab to my PC is not working for the large files (i don't know why).
I'm doing again the backup : this time i do backup of all partitions (not only the 3 selected by default).
As i don't do factory reset, I should not loose this backup, should I ?

Thats fine, sounds like you are ready to install Cromi.X
I'm having an issue while trying to install CM10.2 (new 4.3 build)
I went into TWRP 2.6.0.0 with the ROMs on an external SD, and wiped everything. (I wanted a really clean install, didn't know I'd make it this hard on me)
I tried to install 10.2, but it would just give me the same error "Error executing updater binary in zip cm-10.2-20130730-UNOFFICIAL-tf700t.zip"
I went back and did a factory reset, then installed 10.1 nightly ROM and 4.2.2 Gapps. The Tablet started up fine and got to the setup screen.
Without starting into the setup, I powered down and started up in recovery mode again.
This time I installed 10.2 ROM and the 4.3 Gapps.
This time, it gets to the setup screen, but I get the "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" and can't get past the Welcome screen.
I went back again, and installed 10.1 and gapps, then went through setup, updated google apps, restarted, the reboot into recovery.
I installed 10.2 and new gapps again. Everything starts up
EXCEPT:
I can't access Settings or DSP Manager. They both crash on startup and can't be accessed after that.
Went back and wiped everything, started over with Stable 10.1.2. It installed fine.
Set up and installed SuperSU and set binaries, then installed goomanager
loaded up 10.2 and gapps in goo and flashed. Flash would fail with same error as above.
What I tried
wipe everything in TWRP:
Install SuperSU
Factory Reset in Wipe Data
Flash ROM and Gapps
Wipe Cache and Dalvik
Reboot
Set Up Profile
Uncheck to recover from your google account (this will save you from having everything installed)
Update the google apps in play store
Install SuperSU
Grant SuperSU SU privaleges
Run SuperSU and update binaries through TWRP/CWM
(Reboots)
Install GooManager and Grant SU privaleges
From here, I should be able to flash 10.2 and associated new Gapps, but when it restarts into TWRP to install, it fails because of the same error. When I go to reboot from TWRP, it tells me that it appears I do not have root access and asks if I want to install SuperSU.
I install CWM to install a new recovery script instead of TWRP.
I get the exact same scenario.
Then I go and reinstall 10.1.2 and 4.2.2 gapps and everything seems to be fine.
I also cannot install any of the nightly ROMs dirty.
Did I lose root access in recovery?
If I'm in the OS, and go to CWM ROM manager and select "Boot Into Recovery" it essentially just restarts. It never goes to recovery.
I downloaded the Touch Recovery file and when it was done, selected it to install from top left, and it says "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped"
wtf is going on?
Do this:
– Reboot Recovery (TWRP 2.6)
– If TWRP promt the SuperSU installation, install it.
– Boot into Android.
– Reboot Recovery
– Flash CM 10.1 and Gapps
– Boot into Android
– Don't install SuperSU, superuser it's already merged in CM.
– Reboot Recovery
– Flash CM10.2 like an update (In TWRP /install/select the zip files, ROM and Gapps/wipe cache and dalvik/reboot system

Hi again mate, if i were you i would try to install a full Asus rom and Wipe everything and i mean a complete Wipe, including data/media (you will use all your data stored on the internal memory).
1) Dowload the latest Asus firmware from Asus site
2) Unpack the zip file, the result will be another ZIP file (this is the file you need to flash)
3) Push the file on a MicroSD
4) Boot in recovery and install the firmware from the MicroSD
5) Reboot your device (at this point you will see a blu bar filling slowly)
6) Wait untill the blu bar is full and when the tablet will reboot press Volume Down so you will go into the bootloader menu
7) Select the WIPE icon (this will erase all your data so be sure you made a backup)
8) After the wipe process is done your device should boot in Android just fine
Now you can install TWRP via fastboot mode, make a nandroid backup of your clean Asus rom and then proceed with the CM 10.2 and GAPPS install , it should work at 99%.
Edit: And btw you don't have to install SU, Rom Manager, Goo Manager or stuff like that, CM builds are already rooted and ready to go.

Followed it exactly, and when I get to the point of installing 10.2, it gives me the same error as when we talked in the other thread using TWRP (this is now using CWM):
set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/cm10.2-20130730-UNOFFICIAL-tf700t.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
It doesn't make sense to me that I can install the stable builds, but not the 10.2 or nightly builds.
I'm going to try Pretoriano80's method now. I think it's deeper than just the ROM or Recovery script.

While trying to flash the file, I get this error:

No problems while wiping everything and installing 10.1 stable and gapps, but I can't install 10.2, nightlies, and the asus firmware
As a test, I installed Stable 10.1.0 and gapps, then set up google and it immediately notified me of updates, and I downloaded 10.1.2 and then selected upgrade. It reboot into recovery fine, and installed the file just fine.
I just can't move to 10.2.
A note: When I first unlocked and rooted the tablet, I went straight to 10.1. Ever since then, I've been installing nightly builds as dirty flashes. This is the first time I've done a clean wipe of everything.
I'm wondering if I've lost some root access.
I've tried to connect it to adb. I have the drivers, the PC recognizes it as a TF700 and I can transfer files fine. If I try to connect to the device, it just stays hanging at the "adb wait-for-device" step.

you are trying to flash from the internal storage or MicroSd?
Edit: Btw, which recovery you are using?
Edit 2: It makes no sense being able to install just CM 10.1 stable and no other rom, something is wrong there. Asus full rom use the staging partition to install but the recovery is failing for some reason.
Maybe you could flash the TWRP 2.5.0.0 via fastboot and try again a full wipe.
---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------
Are you able to get fastboot up and running? Maybe adb doesn't work because you didn't enabled ADB debugging in Setting/Developer options

I could also provide you the Stock Recovery for the latest Asus firmware, i'm sure that using the stock recovery you will be able to fix the issues you have. But you will have to flash it via Fastboot.

I'm currently installing from microSD, although I've tried internal "sdcard" as well.
I'm now using CWM 6.x (whatever the latest is), but had been using TWRP 2.6.0.0
Your Edit2: The point of my confusion and headache.
I haven't been able to get adb up and running, it doesn't find my device. My PC interacts with the device. I've enabled developer options and enable "Android Debugging" as CM calls it.

So from the MicroSD the install proccess of the full Asus firmware is working?Anyway just in case it doesn't work i've prepared a Stock Recovery blob (see attachement) for you,but it must be flashed via Fastboot.
Steps to flash:
1) Download the attachement and unzip the file ,the extracted file will be " recovery.blob "
2) Move the recovery.blob in the same folder where fastboot.exe is located ( this is valid for a Windows OS)
3) Boot your tablet in Fastboot mode (Press Volume Down + Power until you get to the Menu with the 3 icon.Don't select any icons because once you get there the device will enable the fastboot mode by default)r
4) Now open a Command Prompt from the folder where fastboot.exe is located and type the following command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.blob
5) If everything went good you will see a blu bar ,this means your Stock recovery was installed so you can reboot with this command
Code:
fastboot reboot
If nothing else works try the above and let me know.

Ma tablette refonctionne, avec la ROM d'origine.
You were able to get into the tablet once, it got you to the tablet's setup screen correct? - NP
I made a mistake by trying to get through the rooting/rom-ing process in a hurry. The result is that i'm stuck on cm boot logo.
1. I installed cwm 5.5.0.4 custom recovery through this guide.
2. Made a nandroid and copied it to pc, sd card, external sd card.
3. Flashed cm-10.1-noname>gapps>tablet ui>wipe cache>wipe dalvik>reboot. (source, version:cm-10.1-20130827-UNOFFICIAL-tf101.zip )
4. Stuck on boot screen.
I'm guessing I should have used twrp rather than cwm.
The trouble is that cwm 5.5.0.4 seemingly doesnt have external sd card support, and having tried to flash cm, it means that the stock nandroid i made probably got moved elsewhere as no backups are found when i try to recover.
Is there a way out of this mess?
Ah, you are not totally painted into a corner. Just climb up the wall and across the ceiling!
There are 2 ways out: ADB or APX.
To use ADB, whilst booted to CWM, connect your USB cord to your computer. Update using the Naked Drivers 0.72 for the unknown device, or ADB device. It will probably show an MTP device as well, leave that alone.
Once you think you have the driver working, you will need ADB. I have a copy of the files in my dropbox so you don't need the whole android SDK.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34321735/adb.zip
Unzip them to the c:\adb folder.
Command prompt and run the following:
Code:
c:
cd c:\adb
adb devices
You should see a device followed by RECOVERY.
Once this is working, find the file you want to move to the tablet to flash (I would recommend TWRP 2.6.3.9 unless you plan on flashing Android Revolution HD) and move this file to c:\adb. I will call it flash.zip for the purposes of this.
Next, go back to your command prompt and type the following:
Code:
adb push flash.zip /sdcard/
Once this is completed you should see the flash.zip on the tablet in CWM so you can install it.
If you do install TWRP, be sure to do a NORMAL reboot (even if it is to a bootlooped OS) so the installation completes. Once you get to the ROM boot screen (pas the Eee Pad logo screens) you can boot back to recovery.
Method 2 - APX
I have a guide for using APX and EasyFlasher here: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...nt/31927-frederucos-guide-root-rom-tf101.html
You can either use one of my repacked versions (linked in that thread) to install TWRP (has not been updated for the latest TWRP yet, but it is only a few versions old). If you want the latest, put it on a microSD and flash it after updating to the Easyflasher version.
Or you can download the stock ROM from the Asus Support site, place the .zip file as is in the asusupdate folder within EasyFlasher folder structure and then click the unbrick option.
Thank you Sir for the lightning quick response
Will try the apx method first and will let you know how it goes.
Just a quick question though if i may:
cwm is just a personal preference for me so is there an updated cwm easyflasher and will it do the cm 10.1 install better than 5.5.0.4?
(the last time i was adventurous with a recovery, philz raped my cat and shaved my mom. i know it was just a senseless crime! something about having to manually backup /preload/ or end up with broken nandroid)

If you are going to venture into the JellyBean 4.2/4.3 ROMs, I would HIGHLY recommend using TWRP. It is by far superior to CWM, and no one is supporting CWM for the TF101 as far as I know. 4.2 introduced a new file structure for multi-users and updates do not flash properly if using an older recovery. You end up with your /sdcard/ folder in the /sdcard/0/ (and an additional 0 for each new ROM update flashed).
TWRP is far more intuitive IMO (all wipes are in one simple menu), and @sidneyk has added (in addition to internal and microSD support) dock USB and SD card support. TWRP has a terminal emulator and lots of other nice features over CWM.
Well thats got me puzzled.
Installed TWRP 2.6.3.0 using APX.method
Reflashed cm-10.1-20130721-UNOFFICIAL-tf101.zip >
gapps_4.2.2_CM10.1_TF101_20130324_stock_camera >
cm-10.1-20130721-UNOFFICIAL-tf101-tabletUIpatch >
wipe cache/dalvik >
reboot
And I'm still stuck on cm loading screen. Unless it takes more than 10 minutes for first boot I'm stumped...
P.S. Any way of reusing the CWM made stock nandroid with TWRP?
P.P.S. You're right TWRP is MUCH better. Gonna convert all of my devices for sure.
solved!
flashed cm then rebooted - worked!
flashed cm and gapps then rebooted - still works!
flashed cm>gapps>tablet ui - still working!
all with wiped cache/dalvik
apparently it doesnt like all of them being flashed at the same time for first installs :S
This is a modded and signed ZIP of the latest Asus rom with all bloatware/junkware removed, dropping the ZIP size from 1.4 GB to only 920MB! It has no added applications/bloatware and has NOT been rooted (can root with SuperSu though). This rom will more than likely not work with OTA updates, but newer versions of the rom will be posted should Asus provide updates, and those should will be dirty flash-able. Picture of the app drawer with clean install: https://i.imgur.com/8xsZj8F.jpg
This modded ROM works fine with both the Z580C and Z5680CA (ROMs are the same ZIP). Currently only the WW firmware is supported, and will ONLY work on devices that already have a WW firmware. Flashing an incorrect firmware that does not match what your device originally had (WW, JP, TW, or CN) will NOT work, and may brick your device. Use caution. Only WW is available at this time.
Note: The ROM is currently stuck at 5.0. It will be unless Asus provides a 6 ROM or and an unlocked bootloader. Don't ask for Marshmallow, I can't do anything about it yet.
Requirements:
Asus Zenpad S 8.0 - Z580CA or Z580C with WW (World Wide) Firmware ONLY.
Micro SDCard - FAT32 Formatted, <= 32GB Size (Larger cards have issues with ClockWorkMod)
Intel Android Devices Root / Temp Recovery Session (Windows or Linux Version)

1.) Place all flashable ZIP files on the FAT32 formatted SDCard (Rom ZIP, SuperSU, and Xposed). Leave the card on your desk/table for now, do not install into tablet yet.
Note: If you have the tablet encrypted, you should factory reset it using stock recovery before moving on to step two. CWM doesn't do a good job of erasing encrypted /data and claimed it was still encrypted after the clean install, and required another reset.
2.) Use the Intel Boot/Recovery tools to boot CWM. Follow the instructions at their pages to do this. You must use Method #2.
3.) Completely format /cache /system, and /data. /cache make take some time, it took nearly 15 minutes, /system took about 2 minutes, and /data about 1 minute. DO NOT CLOSE CWM OR REBOOT.
4.) Pug in Micro SDCard, and install your flashable ZIPs from your external SDCard.
5.) WIPE CACHE AGAIN. Just /cache. It shouldn't take as long as the first time, but this MUST be done, or else you will get issues and/or bootloops.
6.) Done. Reboot to system.

It is not compatible with the Z580C at this time. That requires a separate ROM, and I don't have a device to test with. If someone feels like being a little adventurous, I can make a test build for you to play with, and once its good I can upload that as well.

I can test I have the 32gb variant
I just finished installing it and everything seems to be running smoothly. Great job!
I am mighty sure that this is just plain 'ole 5.0 and not 5.0.1 as mentioned. Just to be clear, Cheers and good job!
Edit: Another thought, there are different versions or SKU's of this tablet (WW, JP, TW, CN etc.) that according to ASUS, you cannot install a rom from one SKU to another...... @lolihunter, what SKU version rom did you use? and IMHO, a warning should be added to the OP.

You are indeed correct. I have edited the post to reflect the correct data. I shouldn't make such an important post when low on sleep.
Also, I am working on a version for Z580C. I actually noticed the file sizes, ZIP names, and descriptions of the stock ROMs for both devices are the same on the Asus website, but have slightly different links. If luck is in favor, the one I am downloading will match the original stock ROM for the Z580CA, meaning they are one and the same. Will update later today with either an edited post or a new separate modded ROM.
If there ends up being enough demand for the other firmwares, I may edit and add those as well.
Cannot connect via ADB and cannot pull files from ExtSD
(Issue Resolved, see below)
Hello,
While attempting to flash my tablet, my CWM session did not seem to recognize my SD card with the files needed to flash.
So, right now, my tablet is:
-In a CWM session (somewhat afraid to restart)
-Unable to read SD cards for some reason (tried two separate SD cards, 4GB and 16GB, both formatted FAT32)
-Without an operating system (/System, /Data, /Cache wiped)
-Is unauthorized by ADB.
Is there anything I can do to fix my tablet? Restart into stock bootloader maybe? Authorize ADB to sideload files (somehow)?
Any help is appreciated,
-Pjb0521
(Forgot to mention, I have the Z580C)

If CWM is failing to detect an SDCard, I would suspect the card itself as being the problem. What OS are you using to format the SDCard? If your are using Windows, try to use disk management to make sure the card is using the GPT partition table instead of MBR. If it is already, use it to initialize it to MBR then back to GPT, and use it to create a single nameless fat32 partition across the whole SDCard.
CWM should automatically mount the card. I didn't need to mount it with mounts and storage, I just plugged it in and tried to install from it, and it automatically showed the files I had copied to it.
This tablet does not allow for pushing or pulling of files with adb, it is always unauthorized. I would imagine this has to do with the locked bootloader, as even in Linux I cannot push the files to it, which is why the guide uses the SDCard.
Nevermind, issue is resolved. Just rebooted into fastboot, restarted the CWM session and installed the ROM. Thanks anyways for your help!
Do you think you can port marshmallow rom for zenfone 2 to zenpad s Z580CA? same hardware

Excellent work - much appreciated!
One question - after installing this ROM is it possible to return it back to stock at a later time?
@glaudrem it might be possible to get a marshmallow build ported, but unless we actually get an unlocked bootloader for the device it's really gonna be too much work.
@Angus66 yes, you can just flash the latest stock rom zip from the Asus website in the same way you flashed the modded one. In fact, the only thing I have done to the modded rom is just removed the bloatware from /system/ and repacked it, making clean installs or reinstalls much easier. Just make sure to do a full wipe with CMW should you decide to go back.
Hi, Thanks for your work on this. I have the Z580C and can you tell me the version of superSU that you have verified to work with this rom? I have had problems with older devices and "the latest version of SuperSU" causing bootloops. I currently use version 2.65 which works.

Hey guys,
everything went fine, except that I forgot to erase the cache before rebooting. Now I am stuck in droidboot and I can't get out of there. The only thing that detects the tablet is fastboot, but i can't execute any commands, as it says
Code:
FAILED (remote: command not allowed in this device state)
So I can't start a new temporary CWM session.
Wiping cache or anything else with fastboot does not work either, as it's the same error...
Any suggestions?
Hi!

During this week Asus updated to mm.

If you installed the MM update, from the tethered recovery, that is the cause of your problem and no one has found a solution, at this point. You can find more discussion on this issue, in the rooting your Zenpad S tablet discussion.

Ah okay, I've just seen the thread. Well, as I still have warranty I handed it back to the store today and they will send it to Asus, so it will either be repaired or I will get a new one.
Thanks anyways.

There is now an official Marshmallow Update from ASUS I am currently running it but its full of bloat, if you could remove bloat again that would be awesome, I just want an AOSP version for this tablet but I don't think I will ever get that. Here is a link to the actual download from the ASUS website: http ://dlcdnetDOTasus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/Zenpad/Z580C/UL-P01M-WW-5.5.0.0-user.zip?_ga=1.264638607.1670638117.1483822798 This is for the Z580C.
I just signed up so I can't post links :crying: but just replace the 'DOT' with a . and the space between the http and ://
