I just bought a memo pad but i noticed that i couldn't install any paid apps on my device. It says "couldn't install on usb or sd card". I did some research for this issue and it seems that it's either sd card related (which i don't use a sd card) or it's either i have to go into a folder in the device and delete a file, but it has to be rooted to access that folder.

Is there a way to root the memopad yet? or can you help out with the issue i have with other suggestions...

I have downloaded the last firmware release "asus-ME172V-WW_user_4.5.4.31116393_20130910 release-keys".

First of this change my system was rooted with the AMPC rom but now I lost the root permission and I tried various ways but I am unable to root again the system. Kernel is 3.0.8 and Android 4.1.1.

Restore a system dump, then try rooting it, the root is made for a higher system version, based on your release keys you have the original system firmware.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerotNS:
You can find all the info in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2216390 Basically you format a sd card to a FAT partition, you extract the dump utility to the root of the sd card and you reboot the tablet with the sd card in it. Once you start it again it will load the utility instead of the normal system. There select dump system. After it's complete, the tablet will shutdown. Remove the sd card, and connect it to a PC. There replace the files from the sd card in the dump folder with the ones you got from the thread. Don't remove anything just replace. Once that's finished, put the sd card in, power the tablet on and restore the system. When it's completed, the tablet will shut down, you remove the sd card and power it back on. If it worked, you should boot into Android, with your data untouched and the update installed. After that you can root your tablet. Just to make sure, however, when you do the first dump copy that somewhere to your PC as a backup in case you bootloop.

I think that sums it up. If you need some more help, or explaining post back here.

Restore Not Working...

The root.zip process built on ClearData.zip seems to have worked well.

The problem I seem to be having is that the restore isn't working. I thought I read that it doesn't need to check a signature on it, but it's saying something about it being invalid when I'm trying to un-root it?

However, getting to the root works. The adb shell gets a # when I give the su command, and basically every checker out there that I can find says it's rooted correctly.

Also, the image files I've downloaded seem to be broken (they don't re-combine the spanned archive under 7zip for both zip/zxx and rar/rxx files). I have space on my web server for them (I don't have a traffic limit), but I want to make sure they're working for a restore before I would want to offer posting them up there.

Is there a way I can figure out what went wrong, so that I can un-root the device?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerotNS:
You can't unroot if you deleted the backup from your card that was made when you were rooting. In that case, if you want to unroot, you will have to restore the dump

im in trouble to root my memo pad 7

i have the latest firmware (4.5.4.31116393_20130910)

i downloaded the AMPC-app and there you can read that

my firmware isnt supported, also if i skip this i realy dont find

a button to root...am i too stupid :confused:

i can only read that im not rooted yet.

also i tried to root with the ROOT.zip

from this website:

mediafire.com/folder/23ycdy8i4f8mu/ASUS-me172v

in the readme you can read that you should unzip

Me172vRootUtil_v0.1.zip to the FAT-formated sd-card...

where i get this zip???

i tried to unzip the ROOT.zip on my sd-card but my device

reboots normal...in this zip i dont find an Me172vRootUtil_v0.1.zip, too.

Is this correct process of rooting?

I'm a total newbie in the field of Android. Asus Memo Pad Me172v is my first android device.

The steps mentioned in this blog (beware of spaces-->) techthili. blogspot. in/2013/09/root-asus-memo-pad-me172v. html are correct? Should I root the device? I have a 2GB microSD card. It'd work fine, right?

No usb cable connected error

I tried rooting the device with RootX tool after all the other failed. Unfortunately I selected the opton "unlock your bootloader". It then shuts down my device and after it starts, it displays "no usb cable connected!" immediately after Asus logo.

I can't my use my device anyomore. Is it bricked? How can I unbrick it? If I connect the device to laptopl (Win 7 32-bit), the device manager shows "WM9850 usb device" under unknown devices.

Help!!! :crying::(:crying::(:crying:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerotNS:
We've said many times that only our root method works, next time please read before you mod your device. What you did is basically brick your device because you went into fastboot, and now it's stuck in a loop. You need to restore someone's working dump and your device should work. Then if you want to root, use the root utility we made.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mknits:
i tried everything

I had first tried your method only. Successfully created a backup and stored it on my laptop. Now when I tried RootUtil, it was successful too. But when I took the SD card and rebooted the device, the screen was stuck after the modified Asus logo. I then unrooted the device and repeated the same process again. But I got the same result again. So I unrooted it back.

I then found this RootX tool. What I did wrong was I selected "unlock your bootloader" option and this has kind of problem has arised. So far I have tried restoring the tablet using the backup I created via DumpUtil tool, but it seems the device is unable to load SD card. It just displays the message "no usb cable connected" again.

What should I do? Help please.:(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerotNS:
You have to turn off the tablet first, after that insert the sd card and power it on again. If it doesn't work, the only way to fix it is to send it to a service center. And the thing gone wrong is that you can't root the tablet with any other root method, because in order to root it, we need a modified boot.img which is used in our root method.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mknits:
I tried that too

Of course, I first switched off the device then I inserted the SD card. I think I've to send it to the Asus service centre.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerotNS:
The same happened to me when I tried doing adb reboot fastboot. You tablet is currently in apx mode, a special download mode which is used to flash factory images. Similar to odin on Samsung devices. Now he problem is we don't have the factory image nor the tools which we csn use to flash. It happened because you tried to boot in a nonexistent partition ( or what it thinks is nonexistent anyway) and so it got in a loop. You'll have to take it to service. You can use the warranty just say you were playing a game (if they ask say shadowgun or any other heavy game such as galaxy on fire) and tell them that the tablet turned off on it's own. You say you though it was the empty battery so you plugged it in. After that you noticed this screen. Also say that you tried turning it on and off via the button,as well as the restart button. They will take it in for warranty but more likely they will just give you a new one (they did to me). For now then we know that rebooting to bootloader is also dangerous. I'm still waiting for ASUS' response and I'll post an update as soon as they say something.

Hi guys,

I was thinking of buying this tablet but I'm still not sure because it's just a single core. I don't have much budget and MeMo Pad is one of my choice (against other china tablets) because relatively cheap.

May I know what are the good things we can expect on this tablet? A pros and cons list maybe? Thank you very much in advance! :laugh:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerotNS:
Single? I think i read it's dual core...Alas whichever is true, imo the tab is fast,stable and very well worth the money.The battery is good,wifi is fas and even some of the heaviest games don't lag. It can cooe with FullHD movies too. The only cons i have found are the lack of Android 4.2 (at least for now but I think they will give an update-also this isn't really a con it's just my need to have latest versions xD )and there are some bloatware apps ( but then again it's me someone might like them). And from the developer perspective it still isn't rooted but we're working on it :)

Overall I haven't regretted buying this and I really do believe it's the best thing you can get for this money. Even better than some more expensive models.
