I could't flash it on a tf300tg.It aborts with the error:

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "tf300t" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "tf300t"

I was using the build ubuntu-touch-system-20130301-tf300t.zip

Could you provide a version for tf300tg?

Sorry, as I don't have a tf300tg and can't test it, I won't support that device.
Maybe there is a developer out there, who can do that? I am happy to help.

Please see this post on XDA Forum for a possible work-around.

Sry for posting at this place (because on xda you need 10 post minimal to post in a developer thread).

The workaround from xda works. Since the only difference between t and tg is 3g there should be no problem to support also the tg variant (without working 3g). As you see on xda it also works on tf300tg. The only propblem just the line in updater-script which keeps it away from flashing. I would suggest to delete this line and write a note to the first page that 3g will not supported because you don't have such a device.

From my point of view there are no real reasons to don't support a device which is (up to 3g) exactly the same.

Well, three reasons actually:

  • I can't test it and I don't like to release things I am not able to test myself.
  • The ZIP update script is auto-generated. It is not trivial to add special code for tf300tg that is only included on the tf300t builds, but not for other devices. Of course it is possible and I might eventually do it, but right now my time is limited.
  • If the tf300tg is the same (but for 3g), then why is TWRP providing different recoveries for the two devices? And why are there reports about issues, when flashing the wrong one? Really, I would have to check the TWRP source code to understand the differences, before I provide anything flashable on a tf300tg. And again, my time is limited, sorry.

Honestly, my goal is to support the TF300T (that I own myself) as good as I can and I am happy to help any developer, who wants to do those changes for the TF300TG. But that is not really my job.
