Thanks & Regards

Frederuco is the man to look for in regards to beginner guides. Try this to begin with:
http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...t/31927-frederuco-s-guide-root-rom-tf101.html
There are a few good ROMs out there but I recommend Katkiss.

I too recommend KatKiss. I am running the 4.3 flavor and it is just awesome IMO.
Have a look through that guide. If you have any issues, let me know and I will assist. There are other methods too like Thing O Doom's PERI tool if that doesn't work. The biggest thing is to make sure you have a USB cable that works with a PC. Otherwise you cannot root.
Stick with TWRP unless you want to run Android Revolution (based in stock ICS firmware). In that case use CWM. And do not ever use ROM Manager with your TF101.

I have a tf101 which I rooted successfully with Frederuco's method using EasyFlasher, then got my Other Half another tf101 for Christmas and EasyFlasher didn't work, PERI did (although I somehow managed to delete the stock ROM whilst flashing) which didn't annoy me too much as I wanted her to be running KatKiss anyway)
What's the danger of using ROM Manger with the tf101, I use to reboot into recovery though have never used it for flashing ROMs or such like.

Ziggy, I figured you would have seen this since you've been around so long.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671598
Don't use ROM Manager to update or install CWM recovery or try to flash updates.
I just use the buttons to reboot to recovery.

ME173X Custom ROM help needed

Hi guys,
I'm not total noob to rooting and custom ROMS as I've been dabbling for about 18 months with my S2 which runs Neatrom Superlite, but I can't for the life of me find instruction I can understand for installing a custom ROM on my Memo Pad HD7.
The rooting was very simple with Framaroot, but it seems the custom ROM is really complicated, the only instructions I've found are on here, the thread is -
[RECOVERY] [ROMs] ASUS Memo Pad HD 7 (me173x) [MULTILANG]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2503668[/url]
I've tried following the instructions and followed links and downloaded ROMs and drivers but have got lost!
Many thanks for any help,
Alan.

Did you suceed?
If not, maybe I can be of some help.
I just finished installing a rom using that method.
Your right, the instructions are not clear.

No I didn't, I gave up, but I'm about to try again as this stock OS is so sluggish I've started avoiding using it as my S2 and laptop are much better, so any help would be welcome.

The instructions are very well documented and with pictures.
You only need to unlock bootloader+special memory format one time.
After that just use CWM to flash any rom, backup,etc.
I closed the project due to the lack of respect, and use of my work without my permission, and i warned several times.
Good Luck

[Q] CM11 n8020 installation with CWM says "this is a GT-N8000"

Hello everyone,
I am trying to install CM11 on my GT-N8020 with CWM as described in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2608839
Unfortunately, during the step where I actually start the CM installation it says:
"This package is for "p4noteltexx, n8020, GT-N8020" devices: this is a "GT-N8000".
But my device clearly is a GT-N8020. It says so on the back and in the settings.
I would really appreciate help because I need to upgrade to Android 4.4. for work...
Thank you guys

I had the same problem with CWM Recovery. Simon build his own version of CWM that worked for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49458614&postcount=8
Anyway it would have been a good idea to post into this thread directly

Thanks for your answer, mate! I'm new to the forum and you need a minimum amount of posts to participate in these threads.. So I opened a thread in the Q&A forum.
I haven't been able to solve my problem yet, so I will soon have a look at this CWM and try it.
Btw: Mainzer hier!

Thank you again. I didn't have to time try it immediately, but yesterday I put my time into it and now it works!!! I am so glad.
I flashed a different CWM recovery (I think it's the one you mentioned) and then installed the newer version of the two ROMs there (thiink it's from 140122). I am so happy

Glad it worked. I flashed the official KitKat Update from france last week, because the cm11 port hasn't been updated since january.

Help with unlocking bootloader?

Everything stock on this thing, 4.1.2. Trying to flash TWRP and try out some ROMs, hoping to speed things up.
Looks like unlocking the bootloader is the first step, but I can't find the file to do it. I've seen mention of something in the play store, which I can't find, and the ASUS site, which I also can't find. ME301T BTW.

In the third line there is a Guide/Tutorial by @djibe89. Everything you need you will find there. There is also an offer for download the ASUS unlook tool. Don' t forget using the thanks button for @djibe89!

Managed to find it on the ASUS site--used the TF300t one, doesn't look like there's one for the Me301t. Now to find a better ROM...

Galaxy tab4 sm t230 updated firmware

Hi guys
I'm looking to update the firmware on this old tablet as it's a bit out of date and a bit sluggish it's been a long time since I've rooted or flashed anything android. I own a Linux satellite receiver and have flashed firmware images bootloader etc so hoping this will help me. I'm basically looking for a guide from start to finish to bring this tablet a bit more up to date, hope somebody can point me in the right direction.
Thanks.

Check if these 2 ROMs are enough stable for you: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...11-cm-14-1-based-android-4-4-4-7-1-2.3648887/

Thanks matteo I think I'd like to try your build I've read quite a few of your post and you seem to know quite a lot about these tablets all I need to know now is what to download and how to flash it
Thanks

What to download is in the thread (rom, gapps and twrp), and you can find instructions all over the internet. I've wrote something in my thread of lineage 16 and twrp on how to install them (lineage 16 has the same instructions as the other ROMs I've linked you) too. What I advice you is to understand well what you have to do before doing everything. Otherwise, it can happen that you'll come back and say: "device doesn't boot anymore, what to do now?"

Yes I'm trying to gather as much information as I can so as to avoid any problems when I actually try to do the flash process. I will read up some more.
Thanks again

Hey Matteo- do you think this ROM is still the best option for those of us with a SM-T230 / DEGAS ? There isn't a proper LineageOS build is there? Appreciate the knowledge, thank you.

Yes. There's a LOS16 for T235, but not for T230.

Hi, I will ask maybe stupid question, since knowledge is 0 in terms of android, but is there a possibility to upload some ROM with android 9.0 to T230? (I even do not know if I haven't made mistake in question )
Anyway I need 9.0 for app and already rooted device following step by step instruction.
Thx in advance

No, since there aren't any devs with enough interest/knowledge to make them.

Hi there. I have found an old SM-T230. I need to install some apps, which require at least Android 7. Will the above Custom ROMS work in that way, that i can install apps build for Android 7 or higher? I fear, i have to find some GApps but thats a other story... if someone can assist to find the right ROM and GApps, this would be nice...
