TF700t-AKBI v2.6.8
I no longer own this device but will continue development. That said, all testing must be done by others. Thank you.
Android Kexecboot Installer script (TF700t-AKBI) is a prompted script run from inside an Android terminal.
The installer script source is here on github
(Please note: This thread is now only for the TF700t-AKBI installer. I have moved all the old dualboot stuff to the old dev thread here)
You must have a fully stable running install of:
CROMi-X 5.4, ZOMBi-POP or KatKiss (For CROMBi-KK, ZOMBi-X use v2.6.6)
(running from the internal sd ONLY, no f2fs, data2sd or rom2sd)
AND
either TWRP_that-2.6.4 or TWRP 2.7+
See these threads for help installing any of the following:
CROMi-x 5.4 ROM Thread
CROMBi-KK ROM Thread
ZOMBi-X ROM Thread
ZOMBi-POP ROM Thread
KatKiss ROM Thread
_that v10 Kernel Thread(for CROMi-X)
(If you are on stock rooted only, see rabits old thread as this is your only option, here).
PLEASE READ THIS:
Not for novices... You won't find every detail here... This is kept "simple" with assumption you have at least basic Linux and Android terminal knowledge. Read through both this thread and the closed dev thread here for more info. See cogano's excellent tutorial, here, it will help with some of the details I leave out....
Again you should understand what ALL this means before starting this endeavour.
YOU MAY BRICK YOUR DEVICE... The choice to continue is your own responsibility!
The short story:
Installing the installer: :silly:
If you are using KitKat (CROMBi-KK or ZOMBi-X), the rootfs installer will only make a 3GB image file. If you need a bigger image you will need to use one of the Aroma recovery based installers. Sorry
1- Download:
Zombi-POP or KatKiss
TF700t-AKBI-v2.6.8.zip
md5 458174c4438b279e1062d634c3c719c1
(For Crombi-KK and Zombi-X only use
TF700t-AKBI-v2.6.6.zip )
2- Extract to /sdcard or your favorite place
3- Place **ONE** "rootfs.tar.lzma" file in the extracted directory, see example files below
4- Open terminal and get root - su
5- cd to the directory you extracted the installer to
6- Run the script - sh TF700t-AKBI.sh (For a first time install select menu item 1)
7- Follow the prompts
Profit!
TF700t-AKBI Change log:
Running the installer for the first time:
1) Copy a "rootfs.tar.lzma" file (see examples below) to the directory you extracted the
installer to (ex. - /sdcard/TF700t-AKBI-v2.X.X/ ). There can only be ONE "rootfs.tar.lzma" file in the install directory at one time.
2) Using an Android terminal (suggest Android Terminal Emulator from the Playstore)
cd into the installer directory (ex. - cd /sdcard/TF700t-AKBI-v2.X.X/ ) and become superuser (su)
3) Run the script - (sh TF700t-AKBI.sh)
4) Choose menu item 1 reading carefully and follow prompts
5) Reboot and profit
After you reboot it will bring you directly to the kexecboot menu which will have 2 choices:
Android and your new rootfs. The kexecboot menu will time out after 10 seconds and boot to
the highest priority OS (default is Android). To choose an OS to boot, use either the volume
keys or dock arrow keys and select with the power button or dock enter key.
Using after install - Advanced users:
Installer menu item 4 allows you to install a boot.cfg from the installer directory. This can be any file named boot.cfg or boot.cfg.old (your backup file)
Installer menu item 5 gives the opportunity to manually edit boot.cfg using a text editor (installer pauses while you switch to a text editor)

The short story:
What happens here is by flashing the kexecboot kernel blob (to mmcblk0p4) you are given a menu to choose a rootfs to boot from, ie Android, Linux image file, Linux on a partition... So in order for the kexecboot kernel to be of any use to you, you need to install Android and Linux kernels in your rootfs. It then reboots using the kernel you chose. The config file, boot.cfg, is installed to a small 5MB vfat partition (mmcblk0p5)
ANDROID: Android mounts root (mmcblk0p1) "/" as /system. So we install a kernel (without modules, you did that when you installed your ROM) to a directory we make called /boot which needs to be in the mount /system directory. This kernel (zImage and initrc.img) is just extracted from _that's cm112 or _that9oc+ kernel blobs and a copied to the /boot directory.
LINUX: This kernel was especially compiled by JoinTheRealms from _that5 source using configs moreD_cn came up with. It needs to be installed in /boot of a Linux rootfs.
