Hi guys,
I wish to install SamHD V2.1 which is recently been released by Kumar Abhishek, but this time he has not integrated the boot.img in the zip itself but just posted the ramdisk to make updated boot.img from boot.img of stock ROM.
I am not too comfortable in using SP Flash Tool as its driver always give me trouble, now my question is:
I have made my own updated boot.img using Android Kitchen now can I just integrate the boot.img in the SamHDv2.zip and flash my device like we use to do it with the older version of the Custom ROMs, is it safe to flash like this?
Secondly, would I be able to boot my device properly after flashing SamHDv2.zip and Gapps.zip (without flashing boot.img with SP Flash Tool)?
I am asking so if it boot properly can I use MobileUncle to flash updated boot.img?
I think if I integrate updated boot.img in the SamHDv2.zip it should work fine after we used to flash in this fashion earlier also but I got to be damn sure before I go ahead.
Please guys guide me I am a newbie.
Hi folks! It has been a while since I have been on this forum; and I have a question about how to update from 4.1.2. to 4.2.2.
The process is not quite clear to me. Can I just download the Asus Firmware and flash through existing TWRP recovery (4.1.2 version)? Do I have to flash a kernel and new recovery using fastboot first? I see some step-by-step guides but also a view warnings. It is a littlebit vague to me what to do.Can anyone guide me through the process please?
I am on Hydro 7 but looking to update preferably to another custom 4.2.2. base rom. Tips are welcome
Best way is to download the firmware from asus website extract it (theres a zip inside the zip) and flash it with twrp, this will get rid of twrp so after the first boot find the approprate version of twrp and reflash it with fastboot, from there you can flash custom roms/ kernels at will
goodluck
I'm not sure if twrp will work. My upgrade path was to use fastboot the official zip from the Asus website, then fastboot twrp. Be careful which version of twrp you fastboot because it will cause a brick. I think twrp-2.5-4.2 should work for the US version for the official blob from the Asus website. For the WW version of the blob I used twrp version 2.4-4.2 successfully. Good luck!

Hi
I'm also still running 4.1.1 on my TF300TG (WW-version).
The bootloader is unlocked with the asus-tool, cwm-recovery (CWM-based recovery v6.0.1.3) flashed with fastboot and the system is rooted with supersu.
Now i want to update to 4.2.1 but it won't work. neither with the SOP for manual update nor from cwm-recovery.
From what i found it should work like this:
- download the 4.2.1 (10.6.2.6) rom file from the asus website
- extract the zip (once)
- open the second zip and open \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script
- delete everything except "assert(package_extract_file("blob", "/tmp/blob"), write_raw_image("/tmp/blob", "staging"),delete("/tmp/blob"));
set_progress(1.000000);"
- save file and save the zip
- put zip on sdcard and install from cwm-recovery
can someone tell me, if this is correct? or if i should only flash the blob with fastboot?
any help is appreciated!
thx!

boot.img is flashable via fastboot // zip is flashable via custom recovery
Make sure that your rom supports this kernel.
