Installing CleanROM Inheritance 3.2.1

I have a stock firmware 4.11 jellybean updated OTA TF300T US
I unlocked it and installed TWRP 2.3.3.3 (latest version)
This room seems for TF700 and TF300
can somone tell me step by step how to install it since it will be my first custom rom.
the problems i am afarid of is that in the site it tells that TWRP 2.3.3.3 is not stable (but maybe for TF700 not TF300)
the other problem is that the rom and kernel seems to be on different files. and i dont want to install tf700 files on my tf300
if someone can help it would be appreciated, i know there are others like me who wish to go the next step but are very cautious and need some guidance from the top brass.
thanks

As you installed already TWRP 2.3.3.0 thats perfect.
just wipe System, data...
install CLeanrom it will give ysou options for kernel (choose tf300 in your case) and for DPI choose DPI160 (WW or US according to your tablet version). after that you can choose different options for other apps. If you THEN boot and want to use other kernels e.g. overclocking or if you have the 3G version you need to use ubers TF300TG kernel, then you can use the kernel installer - if you don't want to use another kernel, then you are done after installing clean rom.
Just to a nandroid backup prior to wiping/installing.

The most confusing is this
"TF300T Users , please use DPI 160 for tablet mode. I recommend you flash the TF300T stock kernel first as it flashes some TF300T specific libraries. Then flash a kernel of your choice. You can do this within TWRP if you chain them up together."
how do you chain them together, this is were i am stuck and cannot start until i understand what he is saying

Just follow instructions: flash stock kernel 1St when installing through Aroma, then boot.
Download kernel installer, then flash a kernel of your choice.
Good luck :good:

Where's the kernel installer file?

Well if i understood, i install inheritance 3.2.1 with the stock kernel, then install a kernel of my choice. So what is this kernel for?

Right download cromi 3.2.1 and also kernel installer 1.6 from the same thread.
Install cromi choosing the tf300 stock kernel. Don't reboot but now flash the kernel installer (you can chain them before hand in twrp if you wish) and install Unters tf300 kernel.
You are now good to go. If you are coming from stock you don't even need to wipe.

Easy Guide to Unlock, Root, and Flash ROM?

Hey guys, I just unlocked and flashed ROM on my LG Optimus G phone and looking to do the same with the TFT300T.
I did read some of the stickies, and there are various ways of doing this.
Anyone recently unlock, root, and install ROM on your TF300T? Which directions did you take? I am looking for the simplest and user friendly solutions. Any tips are much appreciated.
Thanks

What rom/ android version are you currently running?

I am on 4.2.1

First off you need to go to Asus support site and download the v8 unlock apk & run it (unlocking your bootloader).
Then have a good read here to learn how to flash the compatible TWRP custom recovery (2.4.4.0), the root your device.
As of know I don't know about any custom roms that will boot with the newest bootloader. Correct me if I'm wrong here.
Do have a good read though, and read it again - and make sure you understand it and then read some again. Then proceed by following the steps to the letter.
Have fun! :good:

Can I just download an older unlock apk if the current ROMs don't run with the v8 unlock?

No. If you updated to 4.2.1 you need to use the v8 apk.

Got it. So if I am on 4.2.1, there's no ROM that I can flash? Just want to get that absolutely correct.

Not that I'm aware of at this point. The new bootloader uses a different partition layout than the "older" 4.1 ones, so it will soft brick (as will flashing the wrong recovery, you'll want the latest twrp 2.4.4.0)

Thanks. That's really good to know.

So at this point, for anyone on the OTA 4.2.1, we can unlock and root but cannot install any kernels or ROMs yet, correct? Anyone know if CleanROM is being updated to work for us yet?

I think you can try this ROM.

Thanks, I had a look at that. I'm having a hard time figuring out which set of "instructions" to use. The ones on the OP:
Code:
Installation instructions:
- Unlock your device using the Asus supplied APK. Search around the forum for the official unlocking app.
- Install a custom recovery such as TWRP. Follow the instructions in the TWRP thread (website)
- Copy over the ROM zip to your Internal Storage or your microsd card
- Boot into recovery and simply install the ROM. This ROM will NOT wipe your current ROM settings
- Enjoy!
Or at the bottom of post #3 (where it seems to have the download links) it says "BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL ANYTHING IN THE JB 4.2.1 folder BELOW CLICK THIS LINK FOR INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS!"
Which then gives you this set of instructions:
Code:
The stock ROM is uploading in the JB 4.2.1 subfolder of the main download folder on the first page..
Be warned that once you do this... you will not be able to simply restore your backup and go back to 4.1.1. You will need to flash the JB bootloader ( think craig gomez has a package for it) and repartition your tablet. So be ready to STAY on 4.2.1
Instructions:
1. Make a full backup of your internal storage and copy it over to your computer after. Do a "nandroid" or "backup" in TWRP and copy the resulting folder/files to your computer (if you want a backup...)
2. Download and copy the Energy_JB_4.2.1_Partitions.zip to your tab.
3. Reboot into recovery and flash the above mentioned file. Reboot.
4. Wait while the blue line at the bottom is doing its thing. At the top you should see a "signature match" message. This WILL WIPE YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE. Which is why I recommend a backup!
5. At this point the tablet will NOT boot. You need to manually reboot and get back into recovery. Hold power and volume down and choose "RCK".
6. Either using an sdcard or adb, copy over the actual ROM zip Energy.TF201.JB.03.15.2013.STOCK.zip and flash it! Reboot... and... Enjoy.
Having started on the OTA 4.2.1, I can't figure out what I need to do here. Do I require the Partitions.zip, or am I already set with that having installed 4.2.1 prior? Conflicting sets of instructions are bad...

Sbdags is working on it and has made some great progress. He's got it figured out where we are gonna be able to flash the bootloader, kernel, and custom recovery all at one time. From what I've read, I have a feeling a release is coming pretty soon.
Just keep up with the thread and you'll be good to go.

Im posting because I want to keep up on this thread, I too have an ASUS TF300 with 4.2.1 and want to root it and install a custom ROM like I have on my Droid Razr.

I tried several ROMs and this was the only one I was able to get to work.

I have been having lag issues since the OTA upgrade to 4.2.1 and figured putting a custom ROM on the TF300T might help things out. Glad I came in here. I had unlocked it via the ASUS website: http://www.service.asus.com/#!downloads/c1wax

So what else can u do with unlock?

[Q] Root, Custom Roms, Unlock on Asus TF700T

Hello,
i was wondering if someone could answer some questions that i have about android and the asus tf700t.
now i already searched on google and on xda but there are so many informations and i just cant tell which one is the "best" or the right one.
My Asus is unlocked. i got that far and didnt think it would be too hard to root but i see command lines and/or 3 different kinds of software or files that i have to download first or programs like unlockroot etc.
so i was wondering if you could answer me a few questions.
1. do i need to root to put on a custom rom or is it enough that the device is unlocked?
2. what is the easiest and safest way to root?
3. what are 3 good custom roms?
i have android 4.1.1 on my asus and heard that 4.2 is out so i would like to update it but i never had an android device until now so i just want to make sure i m not destroying it after 3 months of use.
Thank you very much
Ben

Custom ROMS are pre rooted, usually, so you best bet would:
1. Update to stock 4.2.1
2. Root using Motochopper
3. Download GooManager(give root rights') from Play Store and Install TWRP by installing open script recovery.
4. Perform a factory reset via TWRP, without wiping Internal storage, or MicroSD card.
5. Install CromiX or CyanogenMod
There are other ROMS out there, but it is advised to install CromiX first because it is stock based and can be flashed over the stock ROM.
Also, make sure you know how to get into the recovery manually, and make sure you check files before flashing to make sure things downloaded properly.

i dont know how to upgrade to 4.2.1. or if that update is available for my device yet. some pages said it is. some said its not available.
i have no idea where to get it since over the air update is not possible due to the unlock.

Asus pulled the JB 4.2.1 firmware off their website, probably because they realized it had too many bugs. They probably are working on a new release and I would wait for it.
In the meantime read the forums and familiarize yourself with the process of rooting, installing a custom recovery and flashing custom roms.
If you don't want to wait, search for the forums on the Motochopper tool. I believe you can also use it to gain root under 4.1, but I'm not 100% sure.
If you have root, download Goo Manager, tap the 3 dots in the upper right and choose: Install open recovery script.
This will install the TWRP 2.5.0 custom recovery.
Boot into TWRP and select 'Backup'. This will give you a nandroid backup of your current system. Copy it to a safe place.
Next, you still being on 4.1, you need to flash the JB 4.2 bootloader which is version 10.6.1.14.4. You'll find a link in post 1 of the Cromi Xenogenesis thread in the development section. The dev packaged it with TWRP 2.5. It doesn't hurt to re-install TWRP.
Also download the latest release of the Cromi-X (ODEX) ROM, currently 4.4.1, and place both zips into the root of your internal or external SD card (your choice).
Boot into recovery, choose 'Install', navigate to the 10.6.1.14.4 bootloader/TWRP zip you downloaded and swipe to flash it. After installation the tablet will reboot into your old rom - this is fine.
At this point, just to be safe, you may want to check if you have the correct bootloader installed: Boot up with Vol Down and Power button and read the tiny script. It gives you the bootloader version.
If you're 100% sure you have the correct bootloader and TWRP 2.5.0, proceed:
Boot into TWRP recovery again, select Install, select the CROMIX 4.4.1 zip and flash it.
The Aroma installer will start and give you options to choose from. Stick with most of the default options for the beginning. You can always re-flash the rom with a different set of options selected.
Enjoy!

[Q] P5110 blackhawk's kernel question

Hello everyone
I've got p5110 with new 4.2.2 rom (xeo). I have installed also root and cwm. That wasn't problem. But the main problem was looking for kernel cos i want to overclock cpu on gpu on stock rom So i found this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302663 but there are few questions...
Which files I install? I know that zip file in cwm but there is the second one called proprietary-vendor-samsung.zip for JB >= 4.2 (stock 4.2.2, CM 10.2) . I dont understand which file i should install first... :/ I want single boot on stock rom.
Thanks for all !

Just read the OP carefully, it has the instructions, and they are very simple:
1. Boot into the recovery.
2. Flash the kernel (blackhawk-next-kernel-x.y.z-p51xx.zip) -- replace "x.y.z" with the version you need.
3. Immediately after that (do NOT reboot!) flash the proprietary Samsung binaries (proprietary-vendor-samsung.zip).
4. Reboot.
You don't need to worry about all the dual-boot stuff.

I think I understand now there is a main file with kernel and with this zip comes some binary files in catalogue (that's what i saw) i need to install this in cwm after this install this second zip with no re booting. In this second zip are files which are managed these from first zip with kernel? Thats way i need to install these both one by one. Seems legit thank you very much i hope that will work

[Q] Help - Clarification on [How To's]

Hi
I finally have decided to try and unlock, root and install custom ROM to my TF300T. It's lagging a lot and I am going crazy over it.
I am not new to rooting and flashing roms, I have done the same numerous times to my beloved GNex and a couple of other mobile phones I owned before. Having said that, I have only followed the tutorial to flash. So, not a total newbie but sort of.
I am trying to make this tablet more usable (my usage is is restricted to browsing, streaming sports/movies and a few games). The more I read the more I am getting confused. I just would like a clean ROM which doesn't lag and hopefully a method that has lesser possibility of Bricking.
I am on the latest firmware from Asus (But, It did come with ICS if I remember correctly before I updated to 4.2.1). I know when I updated it came with new BL so, using custom recovery/roms designed for 4.1.x is not an option (please correct me if I am wrong). I intend to follow these steps -
Please point me in right direction/correct the steps/suggest better steps where ever needed. I just want to know if I am on the right path so far.
1. Unlock BL with latest Unlock tool from Asus website.
2. with [UNLOCKED BL], install 2.5.0.0 TWRP &SuperSU ( will follow - [GUIDE][13/11]Update/Recovery/Root/Downgrade Android 4.2.1 on Unlocked/Locked Devices ) - OR should I install 'openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-tf300t-4.2.img' from TWRP site?
3. Once #1 & #2 are complete, I can choose a Custom Rom and flash. Anything else to be wary about?
Questions
1. Should I use 'Flatline - Unbrickable Transformer TF300T - Jellybean edition'?
2. I do not have much data and I can download the apps again if needed. So, Is Nandroid backup/Backup with Titanium necessary? (for recovery of the system/ROM - I do not care about the apps/user data at this point)
3. Can someone suggest what they think is a better combination of ROM+Kernel? From a post I see the following ROMS I can choose from
joelalmeidaptg's post :
Here you have a list of ROMs that are compatible with the new bootloader and are safe to flash once you are on 4.2.1 firmware:
CleanROM Inheritance Xenogenesis from sbdags
Energy™ from NRGZ28
GRIMLOCK from hardslog
CyanogenMod 10.1 Unofficial from pcoussa
ROM-THEME- STOCK KERNEL Stock Asus Firmware 10.6.1.15.3 from surdu_petru

After unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP, I would recommend installing CROMi-X.
It is based on stock so you do not need to wipe before installing (you can keep all your apps).
It has a nice graphical installer and you can choose lots of different tweaks.
It comes with a variety of different kernels - I use _that's OC kernel.

Use the one that ends in -42 since you are on the 4.2 bootloader. Flatline NvFlash is always a good idea. A helpful guide is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545610.

cromi x for sure
cromix is def the way to go with this tablet-get a fast microsd-partition and use a kernel with data2sd like thats.
good luck, if installed correctly you'l feel like it's a brand new tablet
---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------
also, i find it's better to install cromi without installing a kernel first (using stock). then after cromi is up and running, use kernel installer to install desired kernel and tweaks. have fun and make sure to read everything
