Retiring this device to my daughter - Asus Transformer TF700

I am moving on from this device but it is not going to be neglected. I am passing this TF700 to my daughter and getting a new smaller tablet for myself.
I got this back when sbdags was still cooking roms based on the original OEM. Long time.
Before I turn it over to her I am going to clean it out and install the most stable ROM I can. Probably back to Cromi-x. Any feedback on what you guys remember as the most stable?

I'm using Crombi-kk as my daily driver. I use my TF700 w/keyboard for work and need a stable platform. This works for me.

KatKiss LP 5.0.2 for TF300T + _that Kernel it's ver STABLE

Mind donating it to Timduru so he can start his development for this tab?

He just said he was donating to his daughter.
Is it that hard to port katkiss to the 700? Just apply a 700 kernel and you are done. What else are you needing?
The 300 and 700 are basically the same device with very minor changes to hardware.

IMHO, Cromi-X is the right choice. It's the most stable of the roms that are rooted in the tf700 stock base and frankly I think it's the best daily rom for the device period. I think your daughter will love it.
Cheers

He released 5.1 today and it won't work on the TF700 with the correct kernel. Any ideas?

Unpack the kernels.
Mix the old zimage and new ramdisk.
Repack.

How? Would you mind uploading a version on the katkiss-lollipop q and a threads?

looking for some info, new to the tf300t

I just ordered a refurbed tf300t w/ the keyboard dock. I'm looking to root it and install cm pretty quickly. From what i can gather there are some problems with the 4.2 bootloader and cm. Can some one point me in the direction of a guide to unlock the bootloader and which twrp to install. I figure since its refurbed it's probably on 4.2.
everything on the forums i found is for 4.1 or less. also is there a reason this tablet isnt a stable cm10.1 device?

On this tablet don't get in a hurry for anything. When you verify (absolutely) the bootloader version (ICS(4.0), JB(4.1), JB(4.2 10.6.1.8), or JB(4.2 10.6.1.15.3) then you can begin to read and plan.
Here is a link to many things you will need including the two apps for unlocking the bootloader.
While there don't forget to thank philos64. You will use this thread many times while owning this tablet.
Unlocking is simple. Run the proper app for your bootloader version as explained in the above thread. Two apps for the four bootloaders.
Which twrp etc depends on the bootloader in use.
Good Luck!
Go slow, do your homework, and play safe or this tablet will leave you in the dust (there are many, many bricks to prove it).
I don't know about the current cm10 and stability when it went multi user (10.1) I started looking for other roms.
Just my desire not problems with 10.1.
I'm also new to this device and after unlocking just followed this today:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42005728&postcount=91
Changed a couple of things, such as TWRP version and flashed CM10.1 instead of the one in the example. All I changed from the guide linked were the files used, based on thoroughly reading other topics first.

I'm partial to CROMi.
I'm afraid rom choice is mostly personal. For my use all versions of CROMi have been solid and you have many options during install to customize as you like.
okay so i just got my tf300t today, I'm on JB 4.1.1. what is the best course of action asfar as stock updates? i dont plan on rooting for a couple days to get used to the stock interface.

My favorite stock rom is 10.4.2.20.
If you intend unlocking and flashing a custom rom you might want to update to the proper bootloader for that rom while you still have stock recovery (not twrp).

Bootloaders have been an issue on this tablet since 4.1 (JB) arrived.
I swap at will between the JB bootloaders using stock recovery - next bootloader up or down.
Yes, be careful! Match bootloader, rom and twrp.
Here are the bootloaders, stock roms, and twrp- now you have to match your custom rom.
4.1 bootloader - 10.4.2.9, 10.4.2.13, 10.4.2.17, 10.4.2.18, 10.4.2.20 - twrp openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-JB.blob
4.2 bootloader - 10.6.1.8 - twrp openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob
4.2.1 bootloader - 10.6.1.15.3 - twrp openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob
I'm confused just reading this mess.

I'm in the same position, just got a refurb TF300T. it's currently on JB 4.1.1 stock firmware 10.4.2.20. Is there any reason NOT to allow it to update to the latest firmware?
I haven't unlocked bootloader yet.

hey do you guys have a quadrent score on this cromi rom? im getting about 3600 on the the stock 4.2.1 rom, just wondering if you guys are getting anything better on Cromi? I'm reading up on this pretty good, I'll probably install it some time next week. since this is a refurb i dont want to unlock right away in case of defect.

First I must say I rate roms by how compatible they are and if everything I use works without issues including lag.
The link I provided for CROMi shows a score of 6214 in the first post (op).
I notice there is at least one other CROMi listed which I have not tried. The CROMi by sbdags also provides other kernel options for more speed and other enhancements.
I'm sure someone else will respond with the fastest kernel for this rom as it is very popular.

yeah im noticing a bit of lag on 4.2.1 i dont know if its the rom or hardware, I must say I absoloutly love this tablet. Coming from an og nook color and a kindle fire this is leagues better.
The tablet screen shots on the page are from the tf700, if you look at the build number, so that quadrent score is probably not a good representation of our tablet.
Other than that the stock rom is fine but, I'm always looking for better performance.
For better performance I would reccomend cromi-x it is WAY smoother then stock, but based on stock.

[Q] Rom advise please

Hi Guys,
I have just brought a TF700, and I have set up 3 user profiles, but it is very unstable even after i have disabled all of the unused apps.
From what I have been reading it would appear my best option is to put a custom rom on it.
Now i have achieved this kind of thing in the past as I put Android on a HTC HD2 many moons ago.
I currently have a HTC One and i love the OS on that which is 4.3, so i was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a 4.3 Rom that is fairly close to what i have on the HTC One for my TF700.
Thanks in advance
You didn't say which rom you put on your HTC
CM 10.2 emulates JB 4.3, I believe Paranoid and OMNI ROM also have 4.3 versions, but most of the devs seem to have moved on to KitKat (CM11), but it still seems to be somewhat buggy and slow at this point.
You find the threads in the development section

Thanks for coming back.
I haven't changed anything on my HTC One at moment because I am more than happy with how it is performing.
I will take a look, but once again thanks.
I have been looking at various threads, but I am still a bit undecided on which way to go.
Anyone else that has wanted to update to 4.3 have any tips or advise for me?
I wouldnt mind eventually going down the 4.4 route, but as I have only just got the tablet - I would firstly like to flash it to something more stable than it currently is.
Many Thanks
What really could help to speed up your TF700t is a factory restart.
For me it was really helping a lot .... even if i am right now "only" on rooted stock FW.
Try this as well.

I have only just brought it, and it was back to factory default, but I did it agin before puting all my apps that I wanted on.
And it was very slow and unstable then, but I then disabled all of the preinstalled apps that I didnt want to use, and it is better, but because I have heard that 4.3 does use less memory I still think it would be worth a try.

I am not sure why you think 4.3 is so much better than 4.2.1. AFAIK that was not a major update or improvement....
If you are looking for a fast and totally stable rom for this tablet, go for CROMi-X! It's based on the Asus firmware 4.2.1 for this tablet, so everything is optimized for THIS device. CM roms are generic. They run a on a multitude of devices - that's why you have more bugs and conflicts

Thats fair enough.
I have to admit I like the look of the 4.3 more, but decided to upgrade to the CROMi-X one, and then wait for the 4.4 - which I did last night and I am very impressed - it is loads smoother.
So Thanks for your advise.

Nahhh - only tried it as ROM2SD. And it's still sleeping on some of my sd cards.
I was not impressed. CM didn't add anything but eye candy (I didn't care for) and I think by now CROMi-X in conjunction with Xposed modules (if you care for those and the performance hit they come with) gives you way more options to customize this tablet than CM.... not even mentioning your tweaks!

CROMi-X is just the nickname for CROMi-Xenogenesis (who wants to write that all the time???). CROMi 3.5 would be just a minor step up from what yo got now...
Latest and greatest version of CROMi-X is 5.2.4. But you are on an outdated bootloader and no doubt an old recovery.
So head over to the CROMi-X thread, grab the bootloader/TWRP package sbdags provided in the OP and download the rom (dl both to your microSD)
Boot into TWRP and do a Factory Wipe - that will wipe your apps, but not your data (but you got everything backed up anyway, right????)
Flash the bootloader/TWRP package and reboot
Boot back into TWRP and flash the ROM

[Q] How to remove ROM and go back to stock

I am going to be selling my Asus Transformer Infinity, so I was thinking about removing the ROM I have installed on it currently and putting the stock one back on it. I was wondering how I would go about doing this and what would be the easiest way to do it?

Well you can either leave it like that or at least update it to CROMi-X 5.4 It's a pretty stock rom.
If you really must inflict crappy asus stock on the new buyer (why would you do that? - surely they will be unhappy with it), download the latest firmware from the Asus site for your sku and flash the zip inside their zip from your custom recovery.
This will set you back to Asus Stock....

Well, my thinking for going back to stock is that not everyone wants a custom ROM and would prefer stock (I wouldn't...), but I'm now just thinking I'll just update CROMi to 5.4 on it and call it a day. Thanks for the reply though!

It's all about marketing! [emoji1]
Advertise it as running a vastly improved, de-bloated and optimized stock rom with unsurpassed support, upgradable to KitKat (which the stock version will never get) and performance stock Asus users are only dreaming of.

[ KatKiss - Lollipop #011 ] [F2FS] [ Stable ] TF300t

Was wondering if there is any chance to get this ROM ported or converted to the TF700t. A (Lollipop 5.0 ROM)
I loaded it on my TF300t and it is wonderful so early! but, I would like it on my TF700t.
Beautiful ROM he has done a nice job. Hope we can see it here.
Any information on the how to's or if at all possible would be greatly appreciated.
norm883
I agree, that would be wonderful. But since timudru has never developed for the 700, I would be very surprised if he would start now....
Katkiss on TF700t
Have heard some have Lollipop running on the TF700t from the TF300t forum.
The problem is getting the right CM11 kernel from kitkat.
Install= Katkiss ROM (5.0) + CM11 kernel + gapps (5.0)= Lollipop
However I can not find the right kernel. "GRIMLOCK and THAT" kernel do no work
Boots to the animation but loops. Without right kernel tablet just goes into vibration frenzy
Any suggestions?

Josh he sent me this in a message.
Yeah that's what I did for the TF201, using grimlock kernel + Katkiss lollipop init scripts & binaries in the kernel ramdisk.
I wouldn't recommend using a full CM11 / KitKat kernel zip.
There are a few things changed in the lollipop ramdisk
best thing would be to use the kernel binary from the KitKat kernel then repack it with lollipop ramdisk.
Not sure what it means but if it helps. He now has Lollipop running on I believe 3 ASUS machines. tf101 and TF201 and tf300.
I saw it running beautiful on the TF300.
Hope all goes well.

best thing would be to use the kernel binary from the KitKat kernel then repack it with lollipop ramdisk.
Not sure what it means but if it helps. He now has Lollipop running on I believe 3 ASUS machines. tf101 and TF201 and tf300.
I saw it running beautiful on the TF300.
Hope all goes well.

It might work but there other things at play. The TF201 is pretty much the same as the TF300t whereas the TF700 has some subtle differences. Using this method might get it to boot but it could have other issues at play.

@_that, @hardslog isn't possible for you to build a version of your kernel with the lollipop ramdisk to try if the katkiss rom could work on a TF700T?

There is more to it than that, as the TF700 version of the Grimlock kernel is designed to work with TF700 roms. The kernels themselves (zImage) are the same for the devices but the ROMS are different. The best experience would to be to use TF700 device trees and them compile them with Katkiss to create an LP version of it. That isn't as simple as flipping a switch.
My TF700 is booting Lollipop now

Was wondering if there is any chance to get this ROM ported or converted to the TF700t. A (Lollipop 5.0 ROM)
I loaded it on my TF300t and it is wonderful so early! but, I would like it on my TF700t.
Beautiful ROM he has done a nice job. Hope we can see it here.
Any information on the how to's or if at all possible would be greatly appreciated.

I have TF300t and TF700t also . I love Katkiss Lollipop on my TF300t so I put it on my TF700t to see if it would work. Same thing happened to me. TF700 would not fully boot and on reboot would just buzz. So I wiped, re-flashed KatKiss-5.0_TF300T_014b ROM and then flashed the TF201_CompatibilityPack_LP-5.0_003 (found on the same Katkiss link below). Yeah! it boots. Seems every thing is working (docking, both batteries, camera w/ LED flash and video recording, bluetooth recognized my speakers, adaptive brightness, max CPU 1800 MHz, hdmi) EXCEPT the wifi won't turn on. It just sits at "Turning Wi-Fi on..." Yes I had working on wifi prior.
Those downloads can be found here KatKiss ROM Lollipop 5.0.1_r1 Asus TF300T
I really want this to work. Any info of what can be done or if anybody wants to pick this up.... please? :fingers-crossed:

I flashed a rom for tf300 with a compatibility pack for tf201 (as instructed for tf201 for the tf300 rom) on my tf700 because I figured what the hell and the specs are similar to the tf201. But my what the hell moment got a booting lollipop... just no wifi.

Thank you lj50036 for reply
I now have a Booting TF700 With Katkiss lollipop and kernel-that11-lollipop-dirty_signed.zip
I just flashed the kitkass tf201 rom with your kernel and it does boot. The resolution does seem a little off though, but only with the stock launcher. I downloaded apex and it seems to help. But it does boot with working wifi!
Thank you!

I never said this kernel would work for a 201 ?
We would expect the kernel here, NOT to boot on a 201
Thx Josh
I flashed the tf201 rom with your kernel on the tf700 and it boots fine. Thats what i meant, sorry for the confusion

LOL! Sounds like a rental!
@lj50036
I think it's about time you release that homebrew of yours. It runs great anyway and I think people are getting desperate to get ANYTHING Lollipop on this tablet.
A TF300 rom with a TF201 comaptability pack and a TF700 kernel?????? Talk abut a ZOMBI!
LMAO!!!!!!

Lollipop...is it possible to put lollipop on a TF300T?

Are there any working Lollipop ROMs out there that work well on an ASUS TF300T?
I have a rooted TF300T with a Jellybean CROMi-Xenogenesis 5.4 ROM on it and I very much would like to upgrade to Lollipop, provided that it works well with all the features on the TF300T.
Is such a ROM available?
Cheers muchly
Have a look at KatKiss rom.

May I ask if you use KatKiss personally on a TF300T and if it works with all the tablet's kit?
Thank you
I use it on my ASUS TF300TG (3G not working ) otherwise it works very well for me. Smoothest and fastest ROM I ever had on this tab.
Any specific stuff you have in mind so I can check?
I did try it quickly with the dock and it seems to work well - I don't use it much so I cannot say if all buttons and functions work.

Agreed. The KatKiss ROM is worth checking out.
I'm having a problem and would greatly appreciate some help or advice on flashing any ROM because I've hit a brick wall.
My TF300T is rooted and unlocked following a tutorial followed a year ago.
At the moment I have Teamwin TWRP v2.5.0.0 and I can only flash one ROM, or at least only one ROM has successfully worked and that is CROMi-X_DEODEX_5.4_Signed.zip
No matter what ROM I download and place onto either my device or Micro SD card all flashing results in a fail.
Any Idea why only the CROMi-X ROM works and nothing else does?
I very much would like to use another ROM as the operating system does not turn the WiFi off when the tablet is closed, causing the battery to fully discharge within 48 hours.
I know that I am going wrong somewhere but I don't have a clue what I am doing wrong.
I can at least confirm that I can flash at least one ROM.
Cheers
CM12 just showed up in the repository ...

I have just flashed Katkiss over the stock ROM and it is perfectly useable. Just a few minor thing to tune in future updates. Worth trying.
