Return to stock. - Asus Transformer TF701

Help.
I cannot use my transfomer tab tf701t after unlocking, rooting and downloading CyanogenMod 11 . If I dont touch the screen it freeze.
I belive it does so couze I have the wrong bootloader/firmware version (I have ww_epad-10.26.1.7) and it should be atleast 10.26.1.18!
I suppose I want to return to stock rom and update firmware correctly and download the rom again?
I wanted 2 return 2 stock rom using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425383. It did not work got error:
status 7.
Could really use some help with this.

The link you posted above is for the tf700 not the tf701! Which tablet do you have? There is no need to go back to an old ROM and firmware. Once you figure out which tablet you have, simply update to the latest rom and if it is tf701 go with cm 12.1 or another one which we posted links for you in the other thread...

[Q] Galaxy Tab P1000 new owner: any reccomendation with roms?

Hi everybody.
I just bought my very first tablet- a GT p1000.
Now, in the past few days I've been watching vids about CM9, which I find extremely cool.
As I gather, it is nowhere near completed yet tho.
So, in the meantime, could you suggest some decent looking and 100% working rom for my tablet?
You gotta admit, this forum is not very search friendly.
I have official Froyo installed as of right now, which is not very nice.
Thanks in advance and sorry for bothering ya'll.
Cheers.
just go to the dev thread and see the most popular posts there.
I think Overcome 4.1 is most popular.
You can try Hyperdroid and Accudroid too. All are GB ROMs.
Hi, I'm a newbie as well. Flash mine with Overcome 4.1 and then Hyperdroid a few days later.
My suggestion as a newbie is to use overcome 4.1 if u don't want to use stock rom.
I use Hyperdroid coz using Overcome, I have wifi disconnecting on it's own same like when I use stock GB 2.3.3
PS: Should u choose to use Hyperdroid, mind u it's a very slim rom, many of the standard app is not installed by default. But you can always install the removed applications manually. Hyperdroid has a zip file containing all the standard removed applications.

Thanks both for the suggestions.
I checked both out already.
I also checked aestethic only personalisations via apps and themes and I have to say they're pretty nice too (might just do that while waiting for CM9 in a few weeks).
Is it true tho that official GB has wifi problems?
That's worrying, since I'll be using wifi most of the time.
Wifi issue is hit and miss.
Maybe it is wifi router dependant. Maybe 10%-20% has it.
I am fine using overcome 4.1 with 3 different wifi router.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
wifi issue was 100% caused by belkin router.
If you do have belkin router, see this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441040&highlight=wifi
If you have different router, there shouldn´t be problems with wifi

Thanks for the info.
I have Netgear both at home & workplace.
Not a pressing matter after all anyway as I found out:
I managed to get a 3gb/month with no overlimit charge (only slower speed) for 5 euros/month. That'd should be plenty.
Pretty nice.
Sorry again, but what is the maximum size micro sd I could use on the P1000?
Is it 32 or 64gb?
Thanks.

thanks for the reply ..
I'm downloading all the neccesary files on the link above, still waiting for completing ..
the problem is I never flash this gtab before so it not containing any cwm recovery yet , so if flash with overcome would it gives cwm recover to my gtab ?
just notice few things on the link above ;
1. it contain gingerbread rom , my gtab already on gb , should I still do this ?
2. it have No_wipe & Wipe versions , which one should I use ?
is this just to get cwm recovery ?

I can't say, read the threads and take your favorite rom and flash that one first and try others as well before you setup your Phone to use it everyday so you will know what is available and works for you.

If you have problems with CWM you should check here the points 8 and 26 to 30. I have the some problem but unfortunately I have no clue how to fix it, even with those tips, but maybe it'll work for you. And if you'll find any easy way to install CWM for stock recovery <3e> please let me know, I've been struggling with it for quite some time now.
Also remember to choose right CSC when installing stock rom - you can check what your code is here.

In need of Stock USA ROM for Tab 8.9

I've been searching and reading for the last 3 days for a stock USA ROM for my wife's Tab 8.9.
Her current ROM is showing performance issues, wifi suffering, apps randomly uninstall and I'd like to get her back to stock.
Can anyone guide/point me in the right direction.
Edit: I should add it is the GT-P7310 currently running [4.3][P7310] Android-HD (CM10.2 BASED)

the question is why do you need the ROM to be precisely USA???, cuz I didn't find any ether [and I don't think you'll ever find]
if being from USA means to you that it is the only ROM that you can put the system language as USA, so you're wrong.
the only difference between ROMs origins is for updating from the update center in the system
and since you are willing to update from Odin, then there is no difference between the ROMs' origins
and if you are interested in manual changing, you can flash any ROM and make it USA by editing the build prop
aaaand if you are inrerested, I removed all the origin depending data from MY ROM, so it is clean and the default language in it is US
Woooow, that's a lot of talking,,,,
I hope this can help:angel:

I realize it shouldn't be an issue, but every other ROM I have dl'ed and attempted to load will hang on either the boot screen or the initial setup screen.
My true need is a solid stock either bloated or not that I can stuff over on to it via ODIN.

Ok, I understood from your reply that you're searching now for an Odin official framework for your GT-P7310

Hy. Y flashed the rom on my i9305 and y had to reflash and then only I made the camera work flashing boefla.ok. but. Screen mirroring doesn't work apps to sd card the same and neither samsung link wont work. Are you trying to fix these? The rom is good. I have no complaints other that sometimes its eating the battery in5 hours. Thank's
S5 Elite for S3 (i9305) problem.
Greetings,
Today I was charging my S3 (i9305) and turned off the power. I later discovered that my phone was still on even though I had turned it off. I found out that when charging my phone with the power off it rebooted my phone. I don't know if it's a problem with the Rom or phone. Help would be appreciated. (I have attached a picture of what my phone gets stuck on before it reboots). Thanks.

Hi,
Im not sure but maybe this is the old bootloader issue..are you on new or old bootloader? and have you installed agni kernel that comes by default with the rom? cause i thought that the reboot issue only was present in the boeffla kernels for this rom, which i have removed from the rom thread some time ago, because they were not stable.
It is definately not a rom problem, cause im using this rom every day (btw im on new 4.4.4 bootloader) and i didnt had any reboots from the 1st day till this time also not with the 4.3 bootloader, using Agni kernel 4.9 everything works fine, even offline charging works, but from this we already knew that offline charging was working well on new bootloader.

Well the case is that the bootloader is not something you can find separately and flash it for example like a flashable zip, the only way to update the bootloader is by flashing 4.3 or 4.4.4 official firmware from sammobile.com or any other site where you can download samsung official firmwares, and it has the KNOX feature included which really sucks, therefore these bootloaders are also called KNOX bootloader. You can check what bootloader you have at the moment by booting into downloadmode and in left upper corner of the downloadmode screen if there is a line saying ´´KNOX WARRANTY VOID´´ means you already have the new knox bootloader and since the new Android 4.4.4 now there is also a line in blue color saying ´´SECURE DOWNLOAD : ENABLED'' which is the case with me.
If you like to update the bootloader you can do that, in my signature there is a link to ODIN guide, also there is a link in the guide for if you want to learn more about knox bootloader before you do anything, cause when you flash 4.3 or 4.4.4 official firmware the knox bootloader will remain forever with the device, its not something you can delete like an .apk file, the bootloader is part of the device structure.
This knox bootloader seems to cause problems with installing custom roms or applying root etc. (not for everyone though) but im now KNOXED for some time and never had actually any kind of problem installing custom roms or rooting etc. besides that i think that our i9305 is now getting old and 4.4.4 is probably the last official update to come from Samsung, so it doesnt really matter to be knoxed or not knoxed at this time IMHO and most of the people dont care anymore about warranty being void, but if you like to avoid such small issues like device rebooting by itself or any other issue caused by the old bootloader with 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 custom roms, i recommend everyone to update the bootloader if you plan to run 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 custom roms as daily driver.
If you are still not sure about this or you dont understand something, you can always look for more info in the general Q&A thread or just do some research on the internet.

Thank you

Hey man sorry for late reply.
I think wifi direct isnt working then, for the audio skipping i think its related to your kernel settings, try other governors for example. I dont have this issue, music playing fine with me.

1. You can try any region you want. Better install TWRP first, as described below. Choose language from settings. Region gives only some CSC (Google it) features.
2. To flash custom kernel you need custom recover, like TWRP.
3. I don't know.
4. Depends on what you want: stock with Odin, custom kernel and ROM with TWRP.
As an advice - read a lot to learn before you do anything, to be sure you understand what you're about to do. It's on your responsibility of your own actions. Every phone is unique, what works for me may give you issues. It can be the other way around too.
Best thing to be sure is to have TWRP installed, backup the EFS and the system at least. If you read about this, you'll understand why it's very important.
Then you can try to flash another ROM custom or official.
Then you can test the new ROM, see if you like it. Leave it for a few days so that the adjustment of the kernel is OK. If you don't like it, you can always go back and flash the backup ROM from TWRP.
Also you may use the Smart Switch for PC to downland the original latest firmware for your phone. Search on how to use this program.
Good luck.
thanks man. i appreciate your help.
