CROMI data2sd random restarts

I wipe cache, dalvik, factory, system.
Installed CROMI 3.4.1 then 3.4.4 with stock kernel. Power on for half an hour.
Sdcard formatted as:
1 partition unformatted 8mb primary
2 partition Ext4 rest of card primary active
In recovery i flash cromi-3.4.x-data2sd.zip and then recovery mod (mount-data2sd.zip). After reboot data2sd is working but if I want to copy from my pc to transformer some movies i have restart. Every time. Same when try to copy some data from internal memory to sdcard.
Then i try to install CROMI like at first but then flash that v4 kernel only. Tablet starting with data2sd on, but cant see internal memory and restarts continuos.
Sholud i try other kernel or i do something wrong?

Hi!
You should flash this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892326
There isn't another way!

with this kernel data2d dosen't work on my CROMI 3.4.4

ok. I don't know another kernel which works with data2sd on TF300T. Try install Data2SD with unter's kernel by TWRP without wipe system. Only wipe Data, cache & dalivik and Factory Reset. Data2sd moves only /data, not system.

[Q] Internal Data Wipe pre Rom Flash

I am curious about doing an internal data wipe before flashing a new Rom. I am using TWRP 2.5.5. I am on the 4.2 bootloader and am about to update to the new CROMi. I know that doing a factory reset wipes dalvik, cache, and system, am I wrong in thinking this still leaves some stuff left over on your internal SD? If it does, I want to format all of it. I have the 4.2.1 bootloader, the CROMi rom, and a 4.2.1 stock nandroid backup I made in TWRP all saved on my external SD. What I dont understand is if I format all the data on the internal, how will the tablet know what to do when I boot it back up? Will TWRP be lost? If it does boot back up, what will it boot back up to? I just dont quite understand this internal SD formatting thing so well, so I am asking for some help so I can avoid doing something stupid. I know this is possible because I have read about other people doing it in the CROMi thread, I just want to make sure I am not missing anything

Your tablet has the following partitions (and some others which are irrelevant for this discussion):
- Bootloader
- Recovery
- Linux kernel
- Cache partition (/cache)
- System partition (/system)
- Data partition (/data)
The internal SD card is an emulation that uses /data/media as storage. So if you format /data, that removes all user data including the contents of your "internal SD card" emulation. I don't know why the normal "factory reset" somehow deletes only the rest of /data excluding /data/media. It may be convenient but not what I would understand as "factory reset".
If you format /system (which is not touched by a factory reset), you won't be able to boot Android unless you install a new ROM before you reboot. You don't need to format /system, it's done by the CROMI installer anyway.

Aweomse! Thanks for helping me understand that a little better. My first ROM was CROMi 3.4.4 and I researched all this for about an entire week before I started this but I never fully understand the difference with formatting internal SD and factory reset. I have always installed the new ROM before rebooting anyway but it is nice to know CROMi does the system wipe for you. Didnt know that. If I were to do a complete wipe, would I need to install the most recent 4.2 bootloader prior to installing CROMi so it is there for CROMi to build on?
Oh, and btw your Kernels for CROMi are outstanding.

There is even official TWRP documentation about wiping: http://teamw.in/whattowipe
(I personally have never used any of the wipe options so far, so I am just repeating what I read about it)

There is no "wipe bootloader" option, so there is no need to reinstall the bootloader. Wiping the bootloader would also brick your device and you would need nvflash to recover.

Good to know. Glad I didnt attempt that. My firmware version was .30 so nvflash was not an option for me. Thanks again for your help.

First, reboot into recovery.
2) Wipedata/factory reset
3) Mount everything
4) Wipe everything except SD-Card
5) (If in CWM recovery, go in advanced and here Wipe Dalvik cache)
6) Install the ROM
7) Advanced - Fix permissions
If still not working, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389445 I wasn't able to boot any single ROM based on HTC Sense, but when I've tried this, it worked for me
Hope I helped

No, you can choose But when you have CWM, the Dalvik chache option is in Andvanced. In TWRP recovery it's in the wipe option
You don't have to format SD-Card (Only if you want to have increased internal memory, then do a second partition (ext4) and then use the app mount2sd)
When you want to use the file in the link, follow the instructions in the guide from the link and then do the steps I mentioned

I dont have burned nand
I doing it and nothing. This is why i asking.
i have 2 partitions

your stuck in boot loop .. possible reasons is 1. the no of partitions on ur SD card[it was the issue with me atleast]. i dont know how u have partitioned your card but ideally format your card create a ext4 partition of around 1gb keep the rest a fat32. copy the rom and gapps provided in ur fat32 partition. reboot into recovery , wipe dalvik cache n factory settings n install the rom n reboot . hopefully it should work.
another source of problems is your recovery . if problems persist update your recovery to the latest version TWRP 2.6.3 is good enough n then try again.
hope it helps

the problem was that your partition was not being detected properly due to which it was stuck.. the way you installed cm 9 you can install cm 11..
plus as you created only one partition and new table was made your recovery was able to detect it..:good:

can i install cm 11 without making any partition in my sd card. if so then explain it please. I want to install it on my pico but i have 4GB class4 sd card.

Do all that cleaning and all..
Go to mounts and storage format everything except your SD card .. Flash the ROM..
If you have multiple ext partition delete the partitions or keep only one partition.. First boot takes time so don't worry..

TWRP SD card wipe and new ROM install

Hello
I'm currently running a custom ROM (darkobas) but I'm having a few problems.
I would like to do a new fresh/clean install but would like to wipe everything, not only data and caches. TWRP gives me the chance to do a complete wipe, including SD card wipe/erase.
The problem is, if I do a complete wipe, I will loose the downloaded ROM and GApps and I wont be able to install anything!!!
How can I solve this?
Thank you for your help

Checkmark and wipe system, data and the two caches. Uncheck and leave your SD data card alone.
