[Q] EOS 4 & KatKernel - How do I do?

Hello guys,
I've started yesterday messing with my transformer
Root is done and TWRP is flashed.
Now, I want to flash EOS 4 and KatKernel but I have some doubts.
1. The last version of TWRP is compatible with 4.2.1, right?
2. What do I install in first place? Kernel or ROM?
3. If I got a brick/bootloop, how can I solve it?
Thanks in advance. I'm used to change ROMs in my Xperia Arc S, but not in my TF

You should be running TWRP 2.3.2.3.
Be sure you wipe the following before flashing:
(Backup your data first)
Cache
Davlik
System
Factory Reset (in recovery)
Then flash the ROM first.
The rest don't matter, but flash GAPPS, Kernel and any patches.
I always wipe cache and Davlik again.
Reboot.
Enjoy

Thanks mate!
What if I get into a bootloop?

Chances are you will not get a bootloop.
If you do, boot to recovery, wipe and reinstall. To boot to relcovery, hold VOL DOWN and POWER for 12-15 seconds until you see small white text. Release both and tap VOL UP quickly.
If you brick it to where you cannot get to recovery (which I think you will be hard pressed to do) use EasyFlasher to reinstall recovery or flash the stock ROM again.

Oh btw, I tried several times to enter recovery the way you said and the TF never turns on.
I always have to connect the charger and press the VOL DOWN for it turn on by itself, and then the small text appears
Sorry about my english man

Sounds like a faulty power button on boot.

But it works fine if I don't try to boot to recovery.

I am not sure, but at least you can get to recovery with the power cord.

Hi, I did like you said and all went perfect, thank you Just one more thing, its safe to update the ROM using goo manager?

I noticed that the virtual keyboard closes after I type the first letter (in browser, games, play store, etc) and that after unplug my headphones, theres no sound, only with a reboot.
Any way to fix this?

Turn off autocorrect in the AOSP keyboard.
Or go grab a new keyboard from the play store.

I did that already.
I downloaded Kii Keyboard and at the beggining I had no problems. Then, I changed the theme in the options and now it closes again :/

Last I read in the EOS thread the theme manager had some issues. A different one was listed to use instead somewhere in the thread.
Could be related to that.

Ok, i'll search a bit. And what about the sound issue? Never heard about it?

Oops, missed that.
Try using the K.A.T Toolbox and open it, go to the audio tab and hit the FM34 DSP Reinit button.
Also, if you tick the CASCADE box, it will give you louder volume with the speakers.

That worked, thanks a lot

you can also use this and other apps to reboot to recovery. Quick Reboot - at the play store.

EDIT I use Transformer Reboot To Recovery

If you are running EOS, why use an app to reboot to recovery?
Just hold the lock button for 3 seconds, choose REBOOT, then on the next popup choose RECOVERY

Good thread, just bookmarked so I can ask some questions in here instead of cluttering up the development thread..

[Q] Camera stopped working

i was trying game guardian on my phone and suddenly a weird noise came out of the mobile(like a hard vibrate) and phone restarted,
now the camera is not working i tried diff camera apps it says "could not connect to camera"
Is there any way to know if the camera is damaged without opening the case ??
How worst the damage could be ? or how much it will cost to repair it, any idea ?

Which Rom are u using???? Try with some third party cam apps like Camera Ics,Camera jb+(paid)....
If It doesnt work then reflash the rom.
Reboot must have happened due to multitasking.

Flash Stock Rom again it will definitely help you !

Had the same problem last time...flashed back the ORIGINAL stock RECOVERY and re-downloaded the correct ROM again. Then re-flashed the ROM. Everithing was fine.
Please try to re-install the STOCK RECOVERY first.
Then let me know if they' re back.

IF you install rom by pressing 3btn your motion things will appear..

how man?

I would install a custom recovery and see if you can install Roms, push ROM to sdcard try to install, if not then you may have a hardware fault

Bluetooth stutter after installing Oreo Beta 3

It's happening about once every minute or so. Just wondering if it's happening to anyone else?

Have you tried a reboot or factory reset since upgrading?

Just waiting to see if anyone else is having the same issue before I went through the trouble of a factory reset. No point in doing the reset if it won't fix the problem.

Yes, only when from Nougat. But not between Oreo Betas, and that was a while ago.

Maybe you should reset the phone and see if it still crashes frequently. If so you should send it for warrant.

Been listening to bluetooth for a while this morning and haven't noticed any issues with B3.

Boot to Recovery. Once you get to the dead Android with a Red "!", hold Power and then press Vol+. You'll get to a Menu, use the Vol buttons to select Wipe Cache. Press Power. Then Select Reboot.
(though while there, i'd use ADB and re-flash B3, and then clear cache).

Okay thank you, I will try it.

I had the same trouble. Anything is working right. I can pair my Bluetooth earbuds. The first minutes are OK, but after the screen goes off there are a couple breaks by the music here and there . Awakening the screen will help.

You can't do this on the essential. They took Wipe Cache out of the recovery. I was very angry when I saw that.

Same here. Why on Earth would anyone go out of their way to do this? ?
BTW there are also apps that claim to wipe cache -Lspeed for example, but I have yet to see proof of it actually doing so. Also twrp doesn't register a cache partition either. How weird. It's probably part of the boot partition like everything else seems to be...
Imagine if the only way to clear cache was to flash boot image. What a load of crap that would be, lol

You can do it in ADB, but I don't always have my laptop handy, and besides running ADB every time I have an issue is a huge PITA... I'm starting to lose confidence in this company.

You're right. My bad. I've found that Google backup does a decent job of restoring your phone's settings and apps. I had to wipe my phone the first few times I tried to sideload.
