Katkiss android XDA link

Status

  • Kernel compiles
  • Flashable from within recovery (same as ASUS_Eee_Pad_Transformer_(asus-tf101))
  • Doesn't go beyond bootlogo
  • Having problems compiling with APANIC flag (to read last_kmesg - and figure out why)

How to enter flash mode

Longpress power (for reboot), then during reboot (feel the vibration) lower sound (to bootloader), and from bootloader higher sound to jump to recovery

Installation

You need to be running Katkiss 7.1 (with TWRP 3.0.0 and hairy bean bootloader). Please follow this guide on XDA if you're not.

  1. ./pmbootstrap.py install
  2. ./pmbootstrap.py export
  3. Reboot the device in recovery
  4. adb push /tmp/postmarketOS-export/blob-asus-tf201 /cache
  5. adb push /tmp/postmarketOS-export/asus-tf201.img /cache

The following should be executed within adb shell:

  1. adb shell
  2. dd if=/cache/blob-asus-tf201 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
  3. dd if=/cache/asus-tf201.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

Note: Other ways of flashing do not work. This is exactly how the katkiss android ROM is flashed to the device.
