Hello everyone,
First of all, let me excuse if I make mistakes in english, because I'm french. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for these who could help me in this issue and who would take of their time to help me.
My position is this one :
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Device bought in France (Europe)
Device : Slider SL101
Android Version : 3.2.1
Core Version : 2.6.36.3 [email protected] #1
Build number : HTK75.WW_epad-8.6.6.19-20111101
MobileDock Version : SL101-0202
Device is near Vanilla (I did install Superuser on it -i think-, but that's all, no other changes have been done).
When I start my device with POWER + VOL DOWN :
Black screen with Eee Pad logo in the middle + Asus logo at the bottom + NVidia logo at the bottom + white sentences at the top left of the screen telling
"Android ww_epad-user bootloader < e> released by "WW_epad-8.6.6.19-20111101.
Checking for android ota recovery
Checking for RCK... press key <VOL_UP> in 5 sec to enter RCK"
=> here, 2 solutions : either I press VOL_UP (A.), or I do nothing (B.)
A. if I press VOL_UP
A new sentence appears under the previous "Booting recovery kernel image".
Then, a new screen appears named "ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.3" => in the middle of the screen is a rolling gear with a hat on it
B. if I do nothing
A new screen appears : black screen with two logos in the middle -a "Wipe Data" logo + a "Android" logo which is surrounded by a green light + sentences at the top left of the screen telling "OS will cold boot in 10 secs if the selected mode is not confirmed. Press <VOL_DOWN> to change mode, Press <VOL_UP> to confirm mode."
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My questions are :
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
1. What are the names of theses different screens, so i can use the right vocabulary ? Why do we use them ? Brievely.
2. Is my device able to be on a newer Android version (4.4.2 ? or other ?) ? If yes, what do I need to do ?
3. Is there a way I can uninstall all "Default" applications installed on the device "AmazonKindle", "My Library", "MyNet" for example ?
3. Do you need more informations to answer my questions 1, 2 & 3 ? ^^ If yes, tell me and i'll try to give them
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thanks a LOT to all of you !
Bye
Hey there!
1. Situation A is called RECOVERY, in your case you have a costume one - a good start already!
I have no idea how situation B is called...
2. Yep, it is able to run 4.4.2, just like mine! Actually, I'm on it right now
What you are need to do is:
A. Download and install TWRP Recovery by sidneyk. Reboot to TWRP
B. Download and install KatKiss 4.4.2 ROM and gapps by timduru , and install them, duh!
C. Download and install the SL compatibility pack V2, install after rebooting to the ROM.
Install all these in advance!
Visit here to find the links.
If you are a noob, and you don't really know how to install... Don't be shy! Just say!
There are plenty of guides here, and if you need help - just ask
3. Once you have KitKat on your slider, PUFF! All these apps will be gone!
Hey ! First of all, thanks for your time to help ! Really !
Now, to answer to your answer ^^ :
1. OK
2. Good news for 4.4.2
A. Download and install TWRP Recovery by sidneyk. Reboot to TWRP
B. Download and install KatKiss 4.4.2 ROM and gapps by timduru , and install them, duh!
C. Download and install the SL compatibility pack V2, install after rebooting to the ROM.

Whoops, I meant download, not install, it was late that time
As I get home I'll post how to
HOW TO
Here is how to update your slider:
I recommend you to read a bit on costume recoveries and ROMs
Backup your data! (you can do it with titanium backup)
Download 2.6.3.9 TWRP Recovery ZIP by sidneyk here.
Download KatKiss 4.4.2 ROM, GApps and the SL compatibility pack V2 ZIPs by timduru from here.
Place all these ZIPs on a micro SD card.
Enter to recovery mod, install from the SD card the TWRP ZIP. Reboot to recovery. It should be now TWRP...
WIPE-->advanced wipe-->check cache, dalvik cache, data and SYSTEM.
Install KatKiss 4.4.2 ROM and gapps. Wipe cache & dalvik cache. Reboot system and wait.
After booting successfully to the ROM, power off your SL, boot it to recovery.
Install the SL comp. pack, wipe cache & dalvik cache, reboot system.
That's all
And don't forget:
/* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in the ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

Rebooting in recovery (for most recoveries) can be done by pressing the power button and volume down at the same time when your pad is off. If installed TWRP you do the same, but do an additional volume up press after you pressed Power button + volume down.
@DK5: some ppl dont know how to go in recovery or how to activate it.

He mentioned in the OP he was able to enter recovery mode. He asked what is the term for the situation and I answered it is called recovery mode. Therefore, he should know how to get into recovery mode.
Moreover, using the internet is not harmful if something is unclear...

1. I downloaded all 3 ZIPs from the links you gave me (KatKiss-4.4.2_019.zip ; KatKiss-4.4.2_019-sl101-compat-V2.zip ; signed_twrp-2.6.3.9_sl101).
2. I put them onto a microSD Samsung SD HC Class (2) 8Gb in FAT32 -- they are all 3 on the racine (i:\) and are not renamed.
3. my µSD in the Slider, I "power + vol_down" then go to clockworkmod recovery.
4. I choose "install zip from sdcard" => then "choose zip from sdcard"
5. text appears at the bottom telling
"E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard/]
E:Can't mount /sdcard/"
So, i cannot install any of the ZIPs.
What did I do wrong ? Or what do I need to do now ?
hello
do you have an idea ?
i really need your help :/

Try to place the TWRP ZIP on your SL and then continue the process.

Have a look at Frederuco's guide HERE. Now his guide applies to the TF101 and you have the slider but the previous post told you which ROM to download. Also, you have a rooted device, so all you have to do is flash the TWRP, reboot and boot into recovery and then flash the ROM and GAPPS.
A previous post advised you to put the TWRP on the Slider (not on the SD card) which may help, as the Slider s formatted to use an internal SD card (e.g. its memory) and an external SD card which maybe Clockwork Mod can't see, so putting the TWRP flash on the slider could be your answer. Once TWRP is installed, it can see both the internal and the external storage so you can install the ROM and GAPPS.

u don't need to do step so skip it and in step 4 u don't have to do :
"Boot into recovery, connect your phone to your computer and select fastboot on your phone.
Go to start->run-> type cmd and press enter. A command prompt will now appear.
Type:
Quote:
cd c:\android-tools [press enter]
fastboot flash boot boot.img [press enter]"

orignal thread here
Why CWM ? Why not a pre-rooted firmware which will not void warranty?
Ans : CWM has many more functionality than stock recovery ! Rooting means to playing around with your device.If some thing goes wrong it you have to flash the whole firmware again instead,backup your ROM through CWM and if something goes wrong restore your backup AS SIMPLE AS THAT !
All you have to do is follow my instructions :
STEP 1 :
-Download and setup ADB drivers for your device
can be found here Drivers !
STEP 2 :
-Download the recovery from ---> Link
-Download odin 3 Link
-Turn of your device and go to odin mode [ Vol down + power + home button (all at the same time) ] release it when you see GT-i9060 logo
-Press vol up to confirm
STEP 3 :
-Now that you are in odin mode connect your device via usb cable !
-Now open Odin3 3.09 that you have downloaded.
-If there is a pop-up like Installing ADB drivers let it get finished it is usually updates !!!!
-Make sure the COM : xx (xx is usb port number it can be any number so dont worry about it,just verify COM is lit up)
-Select the recovery (Link in STEP 2) ! Now select AP and browse to where you have .tar file and select it
MAKE SURE U UNTICK THE AUTO-REBOOT BUTTON
-Click Start
ONCE IT SAYS PASS ...REMOVE THE BATTERY ...THEN RE-INSERT THE BATTERY AND BOOT INTO RECOVERY USING VOL UP + HOME + POWER BUTTON
HOW TO ROOT THE DEVICE :
-Download SuperSu (obviously the latest one) from here ------> Click here !
-Copy that to externel sdcard or internal
-Power off your device and press vol up + power + home button (all at once)
-Select install zip from sdcard --->choose zip from sdcard ---> scroll down and flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.xx.zip (latest is 2.0)
Done ! And you are ready to go

I was thinking that this device would have died without any mod or rom, but then you guys appeared from nowhere and made this CWM!
Everything works, but that giant graphical glitch is annoying xD
P.S: After this CWM the Grand Neo/Lite could get a Cyanogenmod?

I think it got to do something with graphics.c(or not) but need some developers experienced in recoveries to help in modifying it or fixing the problem !
PS answer : Most likely yes

Hi All, new to this forum... what brought me here is trying to figure out if I can upgrade the TF101 to android higher than 4.0.3 that seems to be the "normal" latest version you can get.
Issues I have are: lockup, freeze, twitter post (crash twitter), screen weird colors (need reboot) etc... Maybe I have some hardware issue... planing to open the case and verify all connectors are ok and well seated.
I just spent 4 hours looking around this forum and saw the KatKiss 4.4.4 thing... I say thing because I have no clue (and did not find how) to install this thing.
So! Is it worth it that I spent hours more on understanding how to upgrade, debug and all... or I just go buy a new tablet?
I saw some post around the twitter issue that did not work either after KatKiss upgrade, so not sure if it's worth it ?
I was looking at the Samsung Pro tablets with 8 cores... seems amazing! But pricy!
Anyhow, recommendations?
If you say... sure try to upgrade to 4.4.4 with KatKiss... ok, I can try that, but from the last 4 hours of reading/looking around, I did not find instructions steps I could understand.
Most of those steps I have not clue what they are!
These builds are designed to be installed from your favorite recovery. MAKE SURE TO INSTALL A COMPATIBLE ANDROID 4.2/4.3 RECOVERY!
TWRP >= 2.3.2.3 is recommended, new TWRP available here
Backup everything !
Go to recovery
Make a full wipe / factory reset (you can skip this step if you're already on KatKiss-4.4, if ever you encounter a problem do the full wipe and try again before reporting )
Format /system (only if Version<026)
Flash the rom
Flash KatKiss gapps
Wipe cache/dalvik
Reboot

Thanks for any feedback

I have the tab pro and i like it a lot.
I also have the tf101 running katkiss.
The katkiss is running smooth for me.
All is well and no issues this far.
So I would say try katkiss.

Hi Simon.
Is your device already rooted?
You need to root your device first.
What android version are you running?

Device not rooted... Android 4.0.3.
I am looking for step-by-step instructions... if they exist?
Never did that type of mod before.
Thanks,
Simon

Easiest way, use Easyflasher (If your TF101 has a serial number B6O or eariler (Some B7O), it is an SBK1, most B7O and all higher are SBK2) choosing the wrong one in Easyflasher will not do any harm, it just won't work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
1: Flash TWRP recovery with Easyflasher
2. Download KatKiss ROM #33 & Latest Gapps and copy to your MicroSD, stick MicroSD Card into TF101
3: Boot to TWRP Recovery by powering off the TF, then pressing and holding Power & Volume Down until the white text appears at the top of the screen, then quickly hit Volume Up once
4: Goto the WIPE menu, and wipe everything apart from External Storage (This will 100% wipe your TF, so if you have anything you want to keep, back it up, you can also make a Nandroid backup inside of TWRP, so make sure your MicroSD Card has enough room if you choose that)
5: Once everything is wiped, goto the INSTALL menu and install KatKiss ROM you copied to the MicroSD Card (Might have to select External from the INSTALL menu to navigate to the MicroSD Card)
6: When the ROM says it is completed the install, go back to the INSTALL menu and install the GAPPS you also copied to the MicroSD Card
7: Once GAPPS have completed installing (Ignore any messages about failing to mount partitions etc) WIPE Cache and Dalvik Cache (Might ask you immediately after flashing Gapps, if not, do it from the WIPE menu
8: Choose REBOOT > SYSTEM or POWER OFF > REBOOT
9: All being well, you are now running the KatKiss ROM

TIPS:
When using Easyflasher, you're gonna need to install the "Universal Naked Drivers" from the Easyflasher thread - use a 32bit Windows 7 for least chance of any problems, 64bit windows requires driver signing, and so do all versions of Windows 8.x, you can use 8.x but you'll need to disable driver signing mode before installing them

Any problems, reply here and I`ll check every now and then
ok here's the detail steps I did...
1) I have a TF101, B60... S/N, thus SBK1 (what ever that means!)
2) Using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012

Found those instructions that partially work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942&page=4
Search in the start menu for Device Manager and open it.
Plug in your tablet via USB while in APX mode (hold power button and volume (+) until the screen turns off).
The driver should try to automatically install off the tablet upon plugging it in to your computer.
If it fails to install, you will have an "Unknown Devices" section in Device Manager.
Right click on Unknown Devices and hit update driver.
Then hit manually install driver. Point the file browser to the root folder of the extracted package that you downloaded.
For clarification: You downloaded the zip in the OP called Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72.zip.
When you extract it, you should get something like Universal Naked Driver 0.72 or something like that.
Point that file browser to the newly extracted folder, NOT the subfolders.
If you point it to the amd64 or the i386 subfolders it will not work. Hope this helps you out!
That is partly true... here's what I did:
1. power button + volume up
2. device manager showed "other devices" - APX
3. right-click APX and update driver
4. point to extracted naked driver folder
5. Cannot install - hash not present issue!

CRAP!!! The main reason I updated this tablet was in the hopes to fix the twitter issue... that is, when trying to post a new tweet, the app crash and restart...
SAME issue!
Any tips on this one would be wonderful.
It's easy.
First root it. Rooting has a few basic common steps. just get the files right.
Then install the rom in recovery!

I am essentially trying to do this although I have a C20 so I use SBK2 in Easy Flash. However, after I do my wipes, then go to flash my rom, I get an error message that it can't open the zip file What is strange is that I have done this before and have had KK installed on my tablet.

Great pleased you managed to get it working in the end, you can now update TWRP to either the latest official 2.3.2.3 or the unofficial which has been taken over by another member, that's possibly why you ended up with the DATA failing to wipe
Twitter works ok for me, but there are 2 different types of KatKiss, there is the normal one which has a speed increase, and the NonLinaro version which has much better compatibility with apps
Its possible twitter is not liking the Linaro version (Normal one)
Anyway, you are set to flash whichever ROMs you like now you have TWRP, but Id advise updating to 2.3.2.3 to avoid issues, that's the version Ive been running since it was released
Oh and SBK1 and 2 mean, Secure Boot Key, SBK1 was leaked and therefore very easy to flash recovery and other stuff to that required the key, SBK2 did not leak, so devs had to find workarounds in order to flash recovery
Wow Simon.
Already so much.
By the way you sound like a pro already
Now just follow what *detection* says.
That Rom is fast and smooth.

I now want to update again since I have some issue with wifi disconnecting and would like to have original Twitter app working.
So here's a couple of questions:
1. TWRP... before I used EasyFlasher that have TWRP 2.2.1
- I did not find easy flasher with TWRP 2.3.2.3 what do you recommend to use to update TWRP? Link please.
2. You said Twitter work for you and you installed the NonLinaro... right?
- I would be using this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2592890
That's good?
Any other tips, new version since you last post?
Thanks,

Did you reboot fully into KK before trying to get into recovery after flashing 2.3.2.3?
You need flash 2.3.2.3 > reboot fully into KK to complete the install > then reboot into recovery
Also you can try powering off the TF, then hold Vol down and Power until you see the white text at the top of the screen, then release all buttons and quickly tap Vol up to enter recovery

After first attempt, yes I entered KK then did reboot in recovery and did not work.
I have tried many time to do power with vol down and vol up... I see "cold-booting linux"... then KK, not recovery mode

They developed Android 4.1.1 for the M71G!
I already did it, so I can proof it works (I'll post a how to video in a few days)
So, here we go:
So you bought an Aoson M71G, LY-F8HD Elijah M71G and want to upgrade to Android 4.1?
Heres how its done:
At first your tablet needs an special firmware: F8HD-WCDMA-3.1y-20121108.1.0.5-a088.img
http://yadi.sk/d/izqjXQEL2vCxI
You should download it and flash it to your tablet!
Here how ist done: connect your tablet with the PC. Turn it off, and start livesuite. Choose your needed firmware file. Now press the volume down button on your tablet and the start button. Livesuite will ask you if you want to format your tablet and you’ll say yes twice. Livestuit will start flashing.
If your tablet isn’t using this firmware and you’re scared about doing stuff to your tablet you should stop watching this video because you’re doing some console work later.
Remeber: you’ll loose all your data while doing this – so backup your data!
Once flashing is done, You’ll notice that the camera is a little bit off. But that doesn’t matter because we’ll conutine flashing later.
Now download CWM 6.01.2 http://yadi.sk/d/79Mbjgwz2vDgU
gapps minmal http://yadi.sk/d/AMQlPPIo2vLo8
and CM10 http://yadi.sk/d/Q_xhXinR2vIAY
to your harddisk.
Extracted the CWM6.01.2.
Copy everything to your sd card
Copy the CWM 6.01.2 to your INTERAL SD CARD (3 Files!)
Make sure you have ADB drivers installed. If you don’t have them installed google how to install them.
Now open command as admin and typ in“ adb shell“.
Your computer should follow with
[email protected]:/ #
Now typ in „CD SD CARD“
Next step: typ in sh install-recovery.sh
Next: sh reboot-recovery.sh
Your tablet is now rebooting into recovery modus.
Yay!
Now we have to install CM10.
First we do an wipe data/factory reset. We also wipe the dalvik cache. Therefor we go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
Go back to the main recovery windows and choose „install zip from sd Card“ and „choose zip from sd card“ you know should see your cm10 image. Go for it!
Installing takes a while but finally you can start your tablet. It takes about 5 Minutes to fully boot up for the first time.
Since this version misses google apps you should restart to recovery again.
Now go to update from sd card, choose zip from sd card and install the gapps package. After this you can restart your tablet which is now Android 4.1.2. Yeah!
In this version you’ll miss 3g and bluetooth but the camera is okay. If you don’t like Android 4.1 on your arson tablet, just flash back to another firmware. Everything will be back to normal.
If you have any trouble doing this, feel free to comment. We will assist you in the process anyway we can!
Remeber: I'm not the author of this firmware. I got it from 4pda as describe aboth.
Its a nice firmware.
They also developed and comaptibilty file but I tried installing it on cm9 and it didn't work.
I would LOVE to have CM9 on my f8hd ! Perhaps somebody could help out?

thanks for reply but the link to CM 10 and Gaaps has died
Hi everybody, I'm new here and I hope my question does not sound too stupid . My grandson brought me his Galaxy tab 2 GT-P5113 and it is a rooted device . It has android version 4.2.2 installed and it will not update because the device has been modified appears . He does not have the original data cable just a cable that will charge . Here is the question. Do I need to hook up to a PC to install Beanstalk rom or can it be installed off of the SD card ? Any help and install procedure would be greatly appreciated . Thank you .
As long as it has a custom recovery installed such as TWRP you can download and flash any rom that you like without a pc

Search for twrp recovery and download and install the correct version for your device (if it's not already installed). Then install the rom using twrp (no pc needed for this).
Greetings,
THIS IS A LONG(will take upto 1 hour of your time) BUT EASY PROCESS. SO DON'T WORRY.
After reading your question I understood that you want to install beanstalk ROM on your device.
I suggest you NOT to install beanstalk as it is discontinued and not updated ROM.
To install the ROM you should have a custom recovery.
I will proceed you as following :
1. Installing a custom recovery.
- Download Flashify from play store.
- Download this recovery from here :- https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962021903579495495
- Open Flashify and open the flash(or install tab), it must be opened by default anyways.
- Select 'Flash Custom Recovery' and navigate to the file downloaded.
- After you click install, you device will reboot.
- Now you have a custom recovery installed.
2. Downloading the ROM and correct gapps
I suggest you to install this ROM(as it is updated and supported at the moment) :-
- Download the ROM. :- https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569950580
- Open this website :- https://opengapps.org
- Select ARM, then 7.1, then Pico and download the GApps(google apps, play store and all).
3. Flashing
