Hi,
I have installed cm-11-20140306-UNOFFICIAL-tf201 and it works very well.
For that, I followed installation instruction that says to erase everything before flashing this ROM.
Of course, I understand that is was very important to clean up everything before since I started from Asus 4.1.1 ROM version.
Now Namidairo put a new release cm-11-20140331-UNOFFICIAL-tf201 on his thread.
My question. Do I have to cleanup everything again before installing this new release?
Thank You

Thank you for your help.
Since I am a newcomer, I cannot ask a question to the specific thread.
Anyway, I will try with no cleaning first and do with if it's failed.
By the way, I find very nice things in xda-developers.

take it easy, u might hurt ur self
ok its not quite in the right place, but no need to bite his head off.
anyway, in answer to your question, the way i removed the branding from my vodafone DS was this
http://revolutionary.io/ download this tool and follow its instructions, this will root your phone and give you a recovery tool that will allow you to flash a new ROM onto your phone.
With the phone rooted, you will be able to back up your data using an app from the market. Titanium Backup is the usual favorite.
EDIT : may be wrong about it providing root, I personally skipped the backup step as I had no data to lose, but if that is the case there are guides in the forums for obtaining root access
next look through this forum to find a ROM that suits your needs, from the sound of things you want the stock one, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1230029 should suit you.
download the zip file and transfer it to your SD card.
next you need to reboot into your recovery mode by turning the phone off, then hold the vol down button and power button together and selecting recovery from the menu
finally use the volume buttons to select install zip from SD card, and point it at your downloaded rom. it may take a few mins so allow it to finish then select reboot phone.
again this first boot may take a little time, but once its up you should have a debranded ROM as if you had just bought the phone new.
Add the details for your google account and redownload your backup app so you can restore your data and you are good to go
thank you very much for your help,
I shall give it a try,
by the way, will be able to install official updates on it, or will I have to stick with custom ROMs for ever?
thanks again

Nooo, not forever. Just until you get a new device
But seriously: Custom roms don't work with official updates. The trick is that most of the custom rom developers provide their own flashable updates for their roms. The difference is in the way you perform the update. There are even fairly developed custom roms, like MIUI, which have their own over-the-air updates (actually more often than official updates are coming.)
EDIT: In fact, you can switch back to a stock rom anytime and get the official updates back.

OK, I understand... but how do I get the official stock rom?, and by stock that means it has no Orange apps at all right ?

Once unlocked, i.e. rooted, you can use titanium backup or a root file explorer to uninstall the apps you don't need from the rom you are running atm.

Well, again: read around the forum a little, please. There is a sticky thread right on the top of the development section, called ROMS/RECOVERY/ROOT etc. It's a must read for newcomers. Very useful thread. There you find a link to a collection of stock roms. These are distributed as .exe files, so you can run them in windows and a simple-to-use installer will pop up and help you with pushing the stock rom to your phone. It is advisable that you double check that you are flashing the rom you really want. Someone here will help you to choose the right one.
EDIT: By the way in the general section (where we are now with this thread) there is also a very useful sticky. It's called Guide for Newcomers to Android. Seriously, it's a good read, given that you own an Android phone...

OK man, I will do that, thanks for the tips
Thanks chris5s, Ill definitely give it a shot.
This tool would help to get rid of the annoying Orange splash screen, and other useless apps could be removed as stated before.
Of course, best way is to install generic HTC European rom or custom rom of your choice.
Aforementioned tool would also help install roms, radios, etc, of your choice.
Good luck
Peace
Edit: sorry, Android flasher won't help install roms, but will help with installing custom recovery - Ext4 or Clockwork Mod - essential in s-off/rooted flashing.
Hi,
I recently purchased TF101 and new to this forum. Could anyone provide proven method for below items.
1. Rooting
2. Installing TWP recovery (it seems this good for TF101 compared to CWM ???)
3. Which is best ROM for 4.2 ?
Your help will be appriciated and thanks for providing details
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.

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.

Hey Frederuco - I was joking too (imitating Bart Simpson writing out lines on the blackboard at school)
BTW Season's greeting to you and yours
Good morning everybody!
I'm sorry if i'm posting a similar thread but i didn't find the answers i needed. I explain:
i have an Asus TF700T in 4.2.1 with a bootloader - 10.6.1.14.10 (update that i shouldn't make unfortunately ) and i noticed that it´s laggy. I bought it for gaming because of its graphic card but all games i installed are also laggy.
I tried to deactivate some apps i didn't want and there was no difference.
I read in some posts that "CROMI" is what i must install. My problem is the bootloader.
What to do?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much for the answer! I'm going to begin and try. Will make a feedback soon.
Edit: I downloaded the Towelroot just to have it with me and the antivirus showed it as a trojan. How come?
Thanks very much for the answer!
I followed all steps to install the Rom Cromi and it worked like a charm. Unfortunately, it didn't help me that much but it's still better than before.
Thanks a lot!

Yes, I can. Go ahead and install KatKiss - Nougatella #033. First of all you need Kang TWRP. To avoid any issues get your device back on the latest Asus firmware 4.2 (10.6.1.27.5).
After that follow exactly the install instructions in post #1 of the below thread.
PS:
As far as I can remember one year ago you have been on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/development/rom-t3453702 with the intention to do it. You got many advices on your questions from several users. But it seems you didn't.

Hello ebonit, Thank You I appreciate the help and advice.
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/

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

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.

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...
