[Q] TF300 and ME301t compatibility - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
first id like to apologize for posting in here, but it seems sort of related to me.
Since me301t and tf300 (as far as i know) have the same guts, would it be possible to safely use rooting methods/roms from tf300 on me301? Thanks

I've been wondering the same thing. I PM'd a dev from the TF300 root method to see if there is any chance of getting the ME301T rooted and unlocked. Here's hoping!

I just received my tablet (me301t) today and I'm hoping there is some development/compatiability for this on too.

I do too. I'd like at least root, though if we had an unlocked bootloader I wouldn't complain.
This far I haven't found anything though

Comparison
Maybe off-topic but what is the difference besides the ME301T is newer, lighter but thicker and does not have keyboard capability? I am really trying to choose! Hope someone can help me!

this bootloader MUST BE UNLOCKED.
WE NEED CWM or TWRP. Once that is enabled, CM10.1 will come, which we need badly

YES! IT IS ABSOLUTELY POSSIBLE. We just need someone who is kind enough to do it for us, and unject TWRP or CWM like on the transformer series

hello,
the app to unlock the bootloader in tf300 works in me301.
I managed to install TWRP with the 4.2 bootloader and works fine. This allows playground to experimentation.
Roms and kernels works as well, but I only tried 3 of them.
Hope this helps

Unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP, I first installed the wrong version of TWRP which had no touch input and had to force a reboot, this is the one that works for me:
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf300t/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob
Thanks for being a good test bunny for me
Backing up my Smart Tab now and will see if any of the roms work.
*Update*
Tested the CM 10.1 experimental and the CROMi-Xenogenesus 4.4.1.
CM 10.1 boots and all but touch input is weird, the "Show touches circle" is persistent and input is like using a mouse; I have to drag the circle around and double click for a single click. I tried the latest two versions and had the same issues.
CROMi boots and doesn't suffer from the touch weirdness, but WiFi and Bluetooth are not working. I suspect if I were to pull libs from the ME301T stock I will be able to get them to work in this rom but I'm done testing for now.

I got my device to unlock!
But I followed the instructions for installing the TWRP blob file, but cannot seem to get my device to boot into recovery.
Down volume +power brings up the stock bootloader
Edit: Fixed it, looks like the dd command didn't take. Did it again and viola, DONE!
Edit2: I tried Paranoid Android, it boot loops. Just FYI, I may try unpacking it and changing the system files to match our me301t and see if I can get it to work.

PA won't work because it's based on the old kernel/bootloader (pre 4.2). One of the devs made a version that works a couple weeks back but he hasn't posted it.

I want to start building some CM10.1 and other TF300 ports. But I cannot seem to find out how to get a system dump that is needed for the porting. I can copy /system to my computer, but it seems like there should be more needed than just pulling that in order to do a proper port.
Maybe it is just a matter of copying /system for the needed dump, but if anyone can shed some light on that for me it'd be a great help!

To simplify this process for everyone I wrapped up all the the necessary tools, images, drivers, etc for getting your ME301T unlocked in a single rar file. This works as of 5-13-2013, I'll update it as needed when people report problems with any of the included stuff.
I cannot stress enough that I am not personally responsible for any of this work, I simply combined it for simplicity. Please follow the links below to thank the dev's that did all of the hard work for their time!
The rar file contains:
*Contains drivers for ME301T for Windows (From Asus)
*Contains motochopper, root solution for ME301T (from djrbliss, http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/15208-root-motochopper-yet-another-android-root-exploit-412/)
*Contains necessary files and brief instructions for bootloader unlock (from philos64, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697227)
*Contains boot image for TWRP (from eyeballer, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672108)
Again please thank the original devs!

Installing CLEANROM on a TF700

Recently traded in my iPad for the TF700 and I can say I am indeed pleased with my decision, however I am new to the community and have been recently searching for a method to install CleanROM to make my user experience even better, or as it so claims. So far after reading through a couple of guides I have been able to unlock and permanently void my ASUS warranty, which I am okay with. I'm not sure if I'm rooted or not (lol) but I tried running SuperSU and it said something about not being able to write into the binary files so I guess I'm not. Anyways heres a quick breakdown of what I've done and what I'm hoping to accomplish.
TF700 32 GB
I got the OTA update for JellyBean 4.1.1
I didn't do anything until now so I guess you could say I got the tablet with Jellybean installed on it vanilla.
Unlocked Successfully.
Flashed CWM recovery but for some reason when I try to enter from the boot loader menu the screen just flashes on and off. I've transferred the clean rom zip into the root of my device already. anyone know the problem? Thanks!
you need to root it. let me see if i can find the thread that has all the steps.

If you've unlocked the bootloader then you don't need to root, just install custom recovery and flash the ROM of choice...

I think I know where the little confusion comes from: you need root access to install TWRP from GooManager, but not for flashing anything from recovery.
So, if you've unlocked the bootloader and flashed CWM already, you're all set to flash CleanROM. As you should know, you will end up with a pre-rooted OS, so there's no need to follow through with anything other than customizing to your liking in-OS.

In all probability, that thread is indeed the best place to start from, no matter what your issue or question may be. It's getting pretty comprehensive.
What is the current version of CleanROM
I have done a little research and CleanROM appears to be recognized as fast, stable, and not having issues with assorted features (i.e. GPS, camera, etc.). I have had a hard time finding what the most current version is, what Android version it is based on (i.e. 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.1, etc.). Is there an offcial site, including downloads someone can point me towards? Thanks.

The most recent version is CleanROM Inheritance 3.0.3. plus the v.3.0.4 patch; it's based on ASUS's stock Android v4.1.1. ROM.

TRIM will be the most useful feature for our device
Well there are a few improvements:
- New way of multi-user accounting (i.e. grant access to apps to users). Those apps can be installed from the owner account. So no need to install common apps multiple times.
- Google has improved graphic perfomance by re-ordening draw commands in a more efficient way
- Improved security. SELinux is implemented. This also a down side because the standard way of root needs to be changed. The CM team is working on that.
For me personally the improved multi-user is a big welcome. This way i do not have to share my Play account that is coupled with my creditcard with the account of my daughter. And i can give her access to only the apps that we think she can use.
==================
I have a working build of CM10.2. There are still things that needs adressing. So i hope that xplodwild has time to look at those things.
Things that need adressing:
- Video playing needs fixing. HD does not work yet
- root is not working as it should. Titanium backup does not restore and just hangs.

I tried to flash it last night. I can confirm that for me at least it would not flash from CWM. That's a full clean wipe including internal storage since I was coming from Touchwiz. It got stuck at the Cid Samsung Galaxy SIII splash screen. If I have time later I will switch to TWRP, and give it a go from that.

Just to check, are you sure your cwm is completely up to date? It's worth checking into since 4.4 wouldn't flash with cwm or twrp until they were updated.

Guys, it's confirmed that S3 isn't booting for any of the carriers yet. I added an OTA app and we're getting a site organized for updates. As soon as I get freed up I'll jump back on S3 and see if I can figure out what's gong on.
Yep Same Issue. I flashed in CWM and then it asked to fix root. First I said yes and it tried to boot and stayed on the splash screen for 15 min. Then I pulled the battery and jumber back to recovery and tried it all again and said no to fix root.... and the same thing happend. Hope you have some luck getting it up and running.

That sounds like display driver issues. I just updated display hardware drivers and making sure I can still build. If I can build out then I may try to build for S3 and post another link

What a great response. :good:
I'm actually dual-booting now, with my own system. Unfortunately, it isn't to the point where it is reliable, so I haven't released it. Now it looks like between MaulBoot and this the S3 is covered :highfive::highfive:
I can't try this now (leaving for work in a few minutes) but will definitely give it a spin this weekend. Any word on storage speed? I have a UHS sd-card and I'm actually getting faster speeds running off the SD than the internal memory. The way I'm doing it though is re-partitioning the SD card (essentially the same as MaulBoot I believe), which other than the fact that its working seems to be... less desirable than using .img files like this does. At the very least, it kills using the external SD for both ROMs.
This is awesome! Now I can test my MIUI builds without doing a wipe and restore.
Would it be possible to be able to change the img sizes?
Can the tar file be flashed with mobile Odin or do I have to flash with odin3? Also I am currently dual booting with MaulBoot, can I dual boot with this as well as with MaulBoot or would I have to format my sdcard to use this? I am enjoying being able to dual boot on my sdcard.

Hi podspi, if your external sdcard is partitionned, it will work only if /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 is vfat as multibbot only manage fisrt external partition.
But, you can also use internal /sdcard to install roms. As img files are sparsed on ext4, it is more efficient for space saving.

Philippe,
You can't do this on our 4.3 update. We have a locked bootloader that prevents it running any other rom besides stock. If people with locked bootloaders try to use this their devices will brick.
AT&T and T-Mobile s3's both have unlocked bootloaders.

Hi,
Thank's for explanations. Does it mean that since your 4.3 upgrade, you can not install any recovery image ?
If yes, I understand that it is too dangerous and prefere to remove this program.

You're correct, people on the update can't install custom recoveries. We do have safestrap available, and that's the only recovery available that will work on the locked bootloader. This is fine for anyone with an unlocked bootloader, there are plenty of people who ran custom roms before the update and did not take the 4.3 update.
This program is perfectly acceptable for them and it should definitely be here, but a disclaimer for the 4.3 folks would be a good idea.

For those who updated to OTA 4.3, yea they are stuck. I would expect that most of us (?) are still on the leaked bootloader, which IS unlocked.
As long as you put a disblamer noting that people need an unlocked bootloader, you should be fine.

Also, in your linked thread you mention a dev thread with sources, etc, but I haven't been able to find it. I'd love to take a look under the hood of this thing. I can't promise that I'll be super-useful, but I can try
Hey this looks great, I have a 32gb sd card coming in in a few days and want to try it out. It looks like you had a build up but pulled it, maybe for further testing. Just to be sure should I wait for a verizon recovery build (if you are building one) or do I flash the at&t, sprint, or the t mobile builds? I'm not comfortable flashing things that weren't meant specifically for my device. I do see you said you can download them from the other threads and adapt them but I have no idea how to do so.

Good news to know that it is working on d2vzw device, thank's for feedback. If you run on rom on external sdcard, I did it on purpose ( close access to internal block devices ) but I will probably add a switch to mount it in future version.

Yes, I proposed to open a dev thread if people were interested in but until now, nobody asked. I am happy that you're the first :good:.
I have to clean sources before posting but if you want to understand how it works I already made a threat explaining it on the first device I made this method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2558903

Awesome, successfuly flashed it with mobile ODIN. I'll play around with it when I get my sd card. Just to clarify, being on 4.3 is fine as long as its not the OTA that was pushed. Our custom 4.3 roms don't lock you down like the OTA does.

Thanks for this will give it a run when time allows. I got interested in this a while back but the stuff I had found for our devices was abandoned. So just left it alone since I have limited knowledge or time to play.
Ok so I couldn't wait for my sd card to try this and went ahead and freed up room on my internal and tried flashing omni rom with this. It did what it was supposed to and its great that we have something like this now. Couple of problems: I tried flashing the supersu update zip but it failed even though the gapps installed fine. When I was in my main rom and tried to use the multiboot app it just booted back up to my main one again. When I tried shutting down from omni it kept doing the vibration it does for shutdown and boot up (might have been from being plugged in the charger but I'm not sure). Other than these small issues this is pretty great.

Well idk why there aren't a lot of ppl talking about this I think its fantastic and it works perfectly for me. Thank you Phil_Suz for this!

So I read the above thread, for the Nexus 5 and I am honestly confused. How do I flash a stock rom without being rooted in the first place? Don't you have to be rooted to have TWRP installed on your device? Cause I am interested installing Preview 2, fully stocked, but I'm confused how to achieve this, so if someone could share a method on how to do this via a Mac, id appreciate it.

The only thing needed to install another ROM is a custom recovery. Users can flash ROMs as they please without having root. Root is only required initially for most devices to unlock bootloaders or the equivalent, which is only necessary to allow users to install a custom recovery.

Thank you for your reply. If this is a reference to my bad English and miscommunication of specific terms, I'm sorry. If there's more to it, no, my phone is not in English. Why?

Because on previous preview releases changing the phones language has caused things to malfunction/force close. Try set your phone to English (hopefully you understand well enough to navigate the menus) and see if data still closes on you

You'll just have to wait for official release for it fixed (i assume they're not bothered because they're American and only need it working in English to develop it)

It doesn't bother me actually, just I didn't thought that could be an issue keeping my language (for some reasons, I thought that the developer preview came only in English and I was quite surprised when it suggested me Italian after unlocking the SIM).
Thank you again.

Dirty flashing while not clearing caches, or trying to install SuperSU on stock kernel will ends up in a boot loop

You probably wiped your recovery with stock one in fastboot. You can just re-use fastboot to install TWRP over stock.
Android Auto Map Permissions?
There can't be many people on Preview 3 who use Android Auto, but I'll throw it out there...anyone else running into an issue with navigation in Android Auto complaining about location permissions? It suggests granting Maps the location permission, which of course it has. I can navigate fine directly from the Maps app, but in AA I just get the screen with that error.
Anyone else having problems with 6.0.1
I can't get root to work.
I dirty flashed 6.0.1 acoording to instruktions, reboot installs elemental x kernel reboot and tries to install supersu 2.5.2. But it gets stuck att the boot animation.
I tried re flashing 6.0.1 again and install the kernel provided by stephan but twrp can't install the zip, I get a update failed.
Anyone hav any tips on how to root 6.0.1 preferably without wiping the the phone. Should I flash 2.6.2? But the instructions for that means that I need to wipe and reflash?
