Well if you managed to unlock the bootloader and flash an (faulty) recovery.

Fell free to share the method, as i have already made an recovery with the correct options and modules for our TAB.

All i need right now, is the correct flash method to flash into the /emmc/recovery partition

Also you MUST add this to the

default.prop:

#
# ADDITIONAL_DEFAULT_PROPERTIES
#
ro.secure=0
ro.allow.mock.location=1
persist.mtk.aee.aed=on
ro.debuggable=1
persist.service.adb.enable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp
persist.service.acm.enable=0
ro.mount.fs=EXT4

ro.product.model=ME173X
ro.product.brand=asus
ro.product.name=WW_memo
ro.product.device=ME173X
ro.product.board=ME173X
ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a
ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi
ro.product.manufacturer=asus
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US

And use my modified

init.rc:

import /init.recovery.${ro.hardware}.rc

on early-init
start ueventd

on init
export PATH /sbin
export ANDROID_ROOT /system
export ANDROID_DATA /data
export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /sdcard
export INTERNAL_STORAGE /sdcard2

symlink /system/etc /etc

mkdir /boot
mkdir /sdcard
mkdir /sdcard2
mkdir /sd-ext

mkdir /emmc
mkdir /system
mkdir /data
mkdir /cache
mount /tmp /tmp tmpfs
insmod /sec.ko
mknod /dev/sec c 182 0

write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable 1
start adbd
setprop service.adb.root 1

# Restart adbd so it can run as root
on property:service.adb.root=1
write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable 0
restart adbd
write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable 1

IF you really managed to flash that Recovery, update your recovery with this

default.prop

And this

init.rc

Bootloader Unlocked

Unlock The Bootloader

Tanks for these To 4pda.ru Enriki @ 4pda.ru

No warranty for Bricked Devices​

That

ALL

here can work on new Stuff for our Tab, I bring the Files to Unlock the Bootloader

​

Here are 2 Firmwares, the first is an Asus Service Android 4.2.1 without any Bloatware and its Unlocked , at this Firmware i can Flash my Attached recovery without Probl. via fastboot flash recovery.

The Second is an Untouched Stock Firmware 4.2.2 that is locked, when i flash this and i try to flash recovery via flashtool. comes an error (i think you know).​

There are different ways to Unlock The Bootloader with the included Files ; because you see it Works Superdragon and me too. can Flash Recovery.

Edit: The Scatter File from FW:4.2.4 inside ImageME173X and Secro File from 4.2.3FW Allready Unlocked The BL

​

Note: If something goes wrong at Unlock, i can every time Reflash the System with one of these Firmwares (I think I had to do it 333 times).

Have Fun. !!!!!

First Firmware "Service" Unlocked : http://rapid.ufanet.ru/08077618

But it would be better to flash the entire 4.2.3 ROM , then flash the recovery using the same 4.2.3 scatter.

currently building an custom rom, no ETA tought

[General Questions and Answers] Jorge Moreira:
Which version? 4.2.1. or 4.2.2.?
[General Questions and Answers] superdragonpt:
Yeap big thanks to our russian Friends, their "service software" was the missing link.

Also it provides an unlocked bootloader.

I dont understand why These brands continue to release new phones/tabs with Locked Bootloaders?
[General Questions and Answers] Jorge Moreira:
How can we test if the bootloader is locked?

I ask this, because my Asus was for technical assistance and returned with the same firmware, the firmware will be placed was the service?

Best regards,

[General Questions and Answers] superdragonpt:
Both Stock Asus Firmware have their bootloader LOCKED (JB 4.2.1 and the update JB 4.2.2)

What our Russian friends managed to get was an JB 4.2.1 firmware, that seems to be an kinda of "service firmware" (probably used by Asus Assistance) release that haves the bootloader Unlocked.
[General Questions and Answers] alidsd:
Hi friends,

It is nice that we will have CWM in near future, I have some ROM porting experience so I will try my best to port famouse ROMs like CM 10.1, AOKP, PA, SlimBean etc.

It will be good if Asus releases latest kernel source so that we can build our own custom kernel.

One thing I observed that when I was on 4.2.1 the antutu score was 13k+ but after updating to 4.2.2 my antutu score is down to 9k. Can anybody post the antutu score for the above versions ?

I have done factory reset many times from Settings menu and also from stock recovery.

Secondly I have the US version instead of WW version. Is there any difference between these two ?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] superdragonpt:
You cant Port Cyanogen, thats source Build, not an "copy/paste Port", and there are no full sources for ANY mediatek device til this date.

The sources we have right now, are from kernel, and guess what? They need alot of work, and this is just to compile an kernel

Keep Dreaming :crying:

Yeah the score is very low on the last Asus JB 4.2.2 Update, but guess what? Dont trust on Benchs !

Believe me...:p

I need one for 4.2.1

I haven't been able to update, so from what I've read in this thread replacing this file should fix that. Thank you for your time.
[General Questions and Answers] tweakradje:
Look at /cache/recovery/ log files to see what is causing update failure. Probably removed system apps.

Instead of messing with /system/build.prop use a new /system/default.prop with your changes :)

Overclocking

Sorry kind of a noob here with a noob question. What will it take to be able to overclock?
[General Questions and Answers] shiki87:
A Kernel who support the higher frequencies and root access i think.
[General Questions and Answers] tweakradje:
In /etc there are three cpu*.sh scripts (except in the 4.2.3 service firmware)

They are used by Asus PowerSaver via /framework/services.

cpu-normal.sh

#CPU_MODE_NORMAL
#cpu core on/off
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online

#adjust cpu frequency
echo 1209000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

cpu-balance.sh and cpu-powersave.sh disable some cores and lower the freq. Perhaps it is as simple as modding the cpu-normal.sh and put in a higher cpu freq? Or would 1.2 Ghz be a kernel limitation? Other MT8215 run their cores at 1.5Ghz.

But things can only be done save if we have proper CWM recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] vinivin:
You're right. I deleted a few apps that I didn't think I needed. I've reinstalled them but now the log says BuddyBuzz.apk is not in the system/app directory. I've reinstalled it but I got the same error. I've made it a system app and still gettting the same error. I realized the app from the store had a different name so I renamed it BuddyBuzz.apk, still getting an error. What am I missing?

Also could you give me a little more details about the default.prop file. I've taken a look at it but I don't know what to do with it. I'm computer literate but this is my first Android device and I've only had it for a little over a week.

Ok let me closed this subject for you guys.

Mediatek SoC's CAN'T be overclocked, since their SoC's uses unknown kernel services, til this date no one was able to overclock any of Mediatek's SoC's, so guys just leaved it.
[General Questions and Answers] AgroCPU:
with the time i begin to hate mediatek...but i there chance that meditek give us the source...and does anybody know why they have closed source ?

and is it possible to make the max cpu freq to 1,5ghz via /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq ?
[General Questions and Answers] superdragonpt:
Mediatek haves alot of closed Source, like RIL; Framework (build sources), only the kernel sources are OpenSource (Becouse they are FORCED by GPL rules) but those kernel sources need an make clean, and alot of work to be buildable...

Also the process to compile an Mediatek Source Kernel, it's not the same, as the "normal" way.

Forget the overclock thing, never gona happen unless we get the FULL Build Source (Framework, UI, etc)
[General Questions and Answers] AgroCPU:
:crying:

hmm the only thing what i can´t believe : qualcomm,rockchip(i think)... have open source but only meditek have closed source...hmm...mostly...so why???:crying:

and my question is there a chance that meditak give us the source???

cause i love to overclock cpu`s (hmm mostly for example my amd a4-3300 runs on 4,7 ghz XD) and on all devices i have , i can do that but only my 2 hd7 not ?
[General Questions and Answers] superdragonpt:
No Way !

I know since i work with Mediatek SoC's for some time now, they have an Closed Source Policy.

Only the kernel sources will be available, still not very completed, and this is useless for us.

If you want an overclockable SoC go buy an Nexus, but dont expect to pay the same price you did for this one...
[General Questions and Answers] AgroCPU:
:crying: hmm i want that tab cause it have mtk cpu XD and of cause for the low price XD

hmm but it is possible to build kernel from their source ?

when yes , i think i have to learn more about mtk cpu´s and to build a kernel cause i learn fast and have much time XD

what i noticed is the mediatek soc gets locked at 754mhz when you enable power saving. even with encoding jobs running in the background it never exceeds 754mhz. and i never see the 4th core ever starting up. whatever governor mediatek/asus is using its just too conservative when powersaving is enabled.

imho, what we need is better governor, not necessarily overclockable kernel.
