ME301 Troubleshooting for CROMBI

hardslog · Jun 21, 2014

Hey ME301 users.

I have decided to move this information over to a Q&A thread so we don't bung up CROMBI thread with this. It seems that there is something that is not letting ME301 users install and run the latest 4.4.3 version of CROMBI and of course we are hoping to do something about that.

I will post a few test zips to try and see if they can allow you to boot on to CROMBI.

As the users who are testing this out there are a few things that I ask of you when troubleshooting:

When installing CROMBI, please make sure you do a factory reset wipe in TWRP and also wipe cache and dalvik cache
Please do not choose any options in the installer for running data2sd, rom2sd or f2fs. If you have f2fs on your internal /data I could possibly make up a test for that. I am going to stick to EXT4 for now.
Make sure you choose ME301 in the installer, and choose do not install a kernel
Flash one of the test zips provided below once you finish installing CROMBI and before you reboot your tablet
If it fails to boot, please indicate whether it boot loops at black Asus logo screen or at the bootanimation
If it is bootlooping at the bootanimation, then please send me a logcat as well as a last_kmsg and attach it to this thread. If you do not know how to do this there are many guides on XDA that can explain it much better than I can.

That should be about all for now. Let the testing begin!

EDIT/UPDATE - Tests 1-4 = FAIL, how about test 5?

Test 1 & 2 both bootloop at the bootanimation Crombi-KK logo. I cannot pull logcat or last_Kmsg as my command prompt shows device as "offline" and after entering the commands it just reads "waiting for device".

If you reboot into TWRP, you can go into 'advanced' and then 'file manager' and then go into the 'proc' folder and in there you can find the last_kmsg. If you select it, it will allow you to copy it to your sd card.

I have attached zip that contains test 1 and test 2 results.

@hardslog thank you for your continued attempts to get this moving.

I have tried 3 and 4 with same results. Boots to Crombi bootanimation and remains there.

Attached is zip of Last_Kmsg for zips 3 and 4.

I hope they are helping.

Is it possible that instead of zipping the files, to rename them to a .txt and upload them uncompressed? It seems that when they get zipped the encoding gets messed up.

Test 4 stuck at Crombi-KK bootanim. Last_kmsg is 0 kb ?

I found the same thing myself, was hard to view.

I have taken the files, copied to SD then simply added .txt to the end of the file.

Attached are the results.

Let me know what i can do to assist further.

OK,

Here is what I need....

Someone with a me301t that boots, turn on adb either in rom or boot into recovery and run this command

Code:

adb pull proc/config.gz

Upload the file somewhere so I can download it......

Thx Josh & Team CROMBI

I cannot get ADB function to initialize while instlaling this rom. It boot loops at Crombi logo, and ADB indicates "device offline" and will not accept any commands.

While in recovery, ADB mode does not seem to be enabled. Best we can do at this time is browse to folders on the tab using the advanced/File Manager.

I have pulled that file and attached in its raw format and a copy with .txt on the end (which appears unreadable).

Any progress on the logs or attempts at ME301T tab?

not really. We are pretty stumped on this one right now, sorry to say.

Do we need any more logs of something?

- I just got back from a vacation and now have access to a computer again so I could probably do some tests with my tablet while in front of the tv enjoying the World Cup

(thought this thing with adb would be some real scary **** from my linux netbook instead of my Windows partition but it turned out to be easier than I thought to get it set up)

Test 5 up in the OP. You know the drill. :laugh:

gosa · Jul 5, 2014

Result from test 5. Still stuck on boot logo (CROMBi-KK) .

Uploading last_kmsg taken from twrp. (take away .txt)

On my way out, so adb logcat will have to wait a bit more.

-Thanks for working on this!

Good to know that we have it working again. Now I can look into restoring overclocking and all that fun stuff
