[RECOVERY] KANG TWRP TF700T 2.8.x.x@AREA51 JAN 4

bootloop

Hi all. I did the following:
downloaded the 2.8.6.1 img file
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp_tf700t_kang_2.8.6.1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
pressed vol-up to boot recovery

I get the TWRP curtain for 10-15 seconds and then the tablet goes into a boot loop trying to boot the system. Can't get into recovery.

The system boot loop is from a failed upgrade to Zombi-POP 5.1.1 B1. Previously running an earlier version of Zombi-POP (ROM2SD, F2FS on data) without any problem. Previous version of TWRP was 2.8.4 -- no problems.

Any suggestions for getting out of this?

No idea what has gone wrong here...

What bootloader version are you running ?

Thx Josh

From the fastboot screen:
Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "WW_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801" A03

Thanks for your help Josh.

Well It could have been a bad download ? Did you check the md5 ?

Or maybe you have a corrupt /data partition ?

So maybe like this ......

Code:

fastboot erase recovery

Verifiy the md5 of the recovery .....

Code:

fastboot reboot-bootoader

Code:

fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

Code:

fastboot reboot-bootloader

VOL up in RCK to enter recovery ......

Let me know .....

Thx Josh

MD5 was okay, so I erased the /data partition as you suggested, but ended up back in the bootloop. At this point I wondered if maybe the microSD card was corrupt and took it out. Viola -- back into recovery (yours), flashed the Zombi-POP ROM, and installed to internal. Out of the woods!

Now, to verify the microSD and repartition if necessary, and start again with a ROM2SD install.

Thanks for your help and all the great work you do.

Something strange going on here...

The microSD card seems fine. Gparted on my Linux laptop shows the 3 partitions, I can browse files, no errors of any kind. I can even successfully install Zombi-POP using ROM2SD. BUT whenever the card is present, booting either into recovery or system goes into a bootloop. Even stranger, taking the card out during the bootloop lets things proceed normally. That is, if I was trying to boot into recovery, removing the card during the bootloop takes it to TWRP. Likewise, attempting a normal boot, removing the card allows it to boot into Zombi-POP.

Any ideas?

Final update: Reformatted all 3 partitions and everything working as expected now.

Very nice!!! I realy like the clean layouts and the navigational buttons in the bottom. I was just browsing and haven't tried formatting or anything functional except playing with the settings. Thanks again for this great tool!

The new theme is a work in progress by @z31s1g, the creator of the Material theme for TWRP. I hope we can sneak in some more radical changes - in page structure and features, not in the design - for TWRP 3.0.

lj50036 · Jun 10, 2015

New version

Skipped a version or two here as getting everything ready ......

Changelog for 2.8.6.5

- New theme fully implemented ( Huge thx to @z31s1g ) Still a WIP
- Fix mount -o bind error on recreating /data/media/0 (Huge thx to @xiaolu ) & ( @_that )
- All upstream merges by Team Win

Thx Josh

Cool. Use the Material theme on most of my devices.

First landscape theme I've seen from z31s1g :good: ?

Is the version correct?

I don't seem to get a change, even though it says that the flash was successful.

Thanks

@lj50036 is a cybernetic organism that comes from the future to protect the world from being ended with proprietary software.

Please,
I love the Theme of TWRP 2.8.6.5 version by @z31s1g.
What is its name and where can I find it, cause I would like to use it with the last TWRP 2.8.7.0 version.
Thank you for your work.:good:
