Besides, it is quite unstable that the CPU is 100% consumed resulting no response.
I am forcedforceswitch witch off.

Did I miss any driver or setting to stabilize it?
Please help!!

Did you update the bootloader first? Sounds like you've missed something.....
sbdags, i just remember i download zip file and use the bootloader and CWM upgrade it.
Anyway, i try to fastboot the bootloader and reinstall [CROMi-X 7.0][Asus Optimized | DEODEX 11.4.1.17][AUG 5] again.
testing for the results and waiting for any discrepancy from my previous installation.
you may see the attached photos

thanks so such for your brain stroming ;)

Thanks Sbdags
no i did not update the bootloader. I think i use CROMi-KK in previous version. Is it a must to update the bootloader?

Yes you must update the bootloader - if you don't you will have issues like you are having.

Just flash, from recovery, my bootloader and recovery package ;) It's in the first post of the Asus Stock 4.4.2 dev thread or the CROMi-X 7 dev thread.

EDIT: Ah - ok you posted again as well - you should be good now.

Oh no!!!!
The "?" appears again when I unplug from the docking.
So exhausted that I flashed over 10 times from 4.4.2 > 4.4.3 > 4.4.4 today
All roms are having same problem to my device:(
What can I do?

You do know that you have to do a full wipe in CWM (cache, Dalvik and data) switching between CM based roms (like CROMBi-KK) and Asus stock based roms (like CROMi-X) - do you???

sbdags, yes I did a full wipe (data, partition cache and Dalvik).

it is originally work as normal, everything is good!!
however, it is crashed when i play a 3D game. I am forced to switch it off.
afterward, the battery signal become "?".

when it recognizes the battery volume, the docking is functioning.
when it shows "?", the docking don't work.

is there any hints to solve it? thanks!

berndblb, thanks!
I read the tutorial. it is quite an advance function for me.
i need some time to diguest and master it.

sbdags, I try to full wipe again and then choose "wipe Dalvik on cache" during installation (it should be in step 3 or 4 about Dalvik).
I completed the installation around 6:30pm.
The battery "?" is likely to be fixed.

I perform some simple tests as follow:
1. plug/unplug the docking and charger (around 20 times within 8 hours)
2. restart/shut down (around 5 times each)
3. 3D games (played around 4 hours)
4. FTP/Cloud upload and download (10GB files)
5. surfing on net (including this reply with the docking)
6. chatting apps (typing and voice recording, around 30 mins)

The result is satisfactory. There is No crash and no "?" so far. Batteries in both devices are functioning. The docking is functioning (charaters function keys etc). overall performance is smooth and responsive. :fingers-crossed:
hope it is the end of this thread.

thank you so much for your help and i am so appreicate to your effort on the android development.:fingers-crossed:

Finally, it is the hardware problem. The problem is possibly fixed after two maintainance service. Asus charges me HKD$570 for battery (1st time) and HKD$537 for the mother board on the dock, the connector and some IC (2nd time).

I have show my unpatientness to the unfair repair cost and the total time for doing so. the point is a new docking with 1 year warrenty is around HKD$1200. a repair service consumes me nearly 3 months! (the 1st time, it consumes one month and few days. 1 week later, I give it back with same reason. they tell me more parts are out of serice and charges me the 2nd time. again, it consumes me nearly one and a half month)

Sorry Bros!! TF701T would be my last ASUS product. Asus will always on the black list in my IT dept. Of course, there is no more referal to my friends.
