Hi, sorry if this question has already been asked. I'm on 4.2 rooted, removed a few system apps, and i read few posts ago that in my configuration it will be impossible to upgrade in the futur.. Do you have a solution for this, flashing stock rom without an unlocked bootloader is only possible ?

[General Questions and Answers] tomashokenberi:
Because there is no proper hardware support. You can use otg already if you provide additional usb power supply for external device. Without this additional power otg can not work with memopad hd7 regardless of firmware version.

It is not possible to change this with software upgrade or modification.

MeMo Pad HD7 Discounted Heavily in Canada

[General Questions and Answers] WantToJAVA:
Disconnecting battery

My MeMo pad HD7 just failed to boot, no custom rom installed, but it was rooted. When I followed the instructions to open the cover screen size up, a 1.5" x 0.25" flexible strip of rubber fell off also. Where should this strip mount back on the board?

Looking at the back cover, the strip seems to fit and insulate the power and volume buttons from the copper board on the back cover. Not sure, but I will try mounting the strip with the two jutting out sections standing up and away from the copper board...

Whoa, that strip -is- the power and volume buttons!

Fixed.. Just as a helpful hint, from the other posts of people who have done this, remove the uSD card first before removing the cover. To remove the uSD card, just gently push down on it, and it will pop up. The gold teeth on the uSD card face the back cover when you later reinstall it.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for all of your invaluable help.

I am having problems installing the 11/28 update which I downloaded from the german android site where I got my previous update.

When I am using CWM-Recovery to use it to update after renaming it to update.zip I get the following recovery.

assert failed: file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "asus/WW_memo/ME173X:4.2.2/JDQ39/WW_user_4.2.4.06716_20130918:user/release-keys" || file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "asus/WW_memo/ME173X:4.2.2/JDQ39/WW_user_4.2.4.72702_20131128:user/release-keys"

E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

It looks like whomever uploaded it was updating to 11/28 from 09/18 and thus I can't update using the updater script which is fashioned for that exact upgrade seeing I am using 10/30 right now. I tried to adjust the script and it didn't work and just aborts the update.

OTA is not working for some reason so I can only manually update.

Does anyone have a copy of the update file that I can use to update to 11/28? The provided in that thread is corrupted or I need a different one.

Please help.

[General Questions and Answers] RandomRandomson:
Camera App

Factory reset won't help since pre-installed apps are in ROM. Can you look up your camera app version? Mine is 3.0 and it works just fine (yes, I've updated my firmware too).

You can try to install mine if you want (be sure to back up your version) www,dropbox,com /s/8gc2whasvt64rja/com.tf.thinkdroid.asus%5B1%5D.apk

Apparently, ASUS signing apps so you won't be able to install it with DRM crap check. You can bypass it with ROM Customizer (install app in SYSTEM, not USER) store/apps/details?id=com.ficeto.alliancemanager

[General Questions and Answers] RandomRandomson:
Do you have root on your tablet? I forgot that you'll need root to access ROM. And be aware that rooting your tablet will spoil your warranty, so I'm kinda scared to give you instructions. But, if you'll decide to root tablet:

1. Download my camera app and place it somewhere at your internal SD

2. Download Framaroot (you'll find it here, on xda-devs). With it you can root and unroot tablet by one tap. Launch it, choose first patch and your tablet will reboot with SuperSU installed (sudo app for android).

3. Install ROM Customizer and check if it's working. It will ask you about root privileges (press "Grant" or "Ok" i don't remember)

4. If you have Clean Master already it'll ask you to give it root privileges if not, download and install Clean Master from Google Play. Accept and go to App Manager. There you'll see new button "Pre-installed Apps". Find your Camera app there and tap on it. You'll see "Backup" and "Uninstall" buttons. Press "Backup" and, after that, "Uninstall".

5. Now go to ROM Customizer and press "Flash/Install from Internal SD" and find my camera app. Press on it and, after confirmation program will ask where you want to install apk. Press "System" and you're done. Now you can check camera and see if it works.

Will rooting this device cause issues with future updates? I really need USB OTG working, both for USB and for use with my Concept2 rowing machine, and it seems the only way to possible get it working is if I root the damn thing. Why on earth would Asus deny us this feature in the first place?

I rootet my Asus TF700 using motochop, can this be used on the MemoPad as well? If so I will root it, as long as I can still get future firmware and software upgrades from Asus?
[General Questions and Answers] tomashokenberi:
Rooting wont be enough to enable USB OTG. Reason that OTG does not work is hardware related (hd7 does not provide power supply for USB devices connected) not software issue.

If you want to use OTG you must provide external power supply for USB devices, that is you need special "Y" USB OTG cable with third connector used to connect charger or pc USB port which will provide power.

[General Questions and Answers] WantToJAVA:
Other Asus MeMo Pad HD7 Features?

I wonder if anyone has explored some of the other features on the HD7?

1) Miracast: I notice the HD7 has a menu for Miracast, and I also see Miracast dongles selling on EBay for around $15 and up. Miracast is supposed to let you mirror your tab on to a HDTV at 1080p and Dolby 5.1 via a private WiFi signal from a dongle powered only by a TV's HDMI socket. In other words, it does not use your home WiFi, and has the added advantage of being able to play media from your HD7 onto your HDTV without worrying about Digital Rights Management.

An added advantage over devices with a micro HDMI output is that you do not need to run a mini HDMI cable to your HDTV, however you have to keep your tablet screen -on- while your media plays.

2) Viper: One of the reasons to root is the ability to install the Viper 10 band equalizer. Has anyone calibrated the Viper equalizer after rooting, perhaps using an audio scope or spectrum analyzer to compare 'ideal' Viper settings for various types of music? If anyone has this type of H/W perhaps they could publish settings rather than use the built-in Asus settings for Music, Voice, etc... Since the tab has the Bang & Olafson metal domes, the results should be fairly uniform amongst all the HD7 tabs..

3) It seems to me that if you ran a series current limiting resistor and zener diode to the HD7's battery '+' terminal, (you can power the micro USB socket for very low powered micro USB devices capable of being powered by 4V. So for a max of 10mA, you might use a series resistor of, say 270 ohms. 270 ohms would limit the (accidental) short circuit current to a max of 4V / 270 ohm = 15 mA. Doing this could allow the powering of very low powered micro USB devices without the hassle of an external supply.

Just some thoughts on extending this tablet's usefulness...
[General Questions and Answers] jellysheep:
I also thought of this already. How would you connect the zener diode?

Why would you restrict it to 4V? Isn't it a 5.2V battery?

Could you draw more current out of the battery or is this bad for the device?

Thanks,

Jellysheep
[General Questions and Answers] WantToJAVA:
The battery is 4 Volts. So you would put a series resistor from the '+' side of the battery to the '+' side of a zener, and the '-' side of the zener to ground. You can then power the uUSB from the '+' side of the zener. I put the series resistor as an example. I think most small devices like a flash drive are CMOS/MOS type devices which don't use much power. It would be fine for things like that.
[General Questions and Answers] kristakos:
Or , you can use some ICs to build convertor(step up voltage) from 4-5v.
[General Questions and Answers] jellysheep:
Ah, i thought the battery would be 5.2V, not sure where i read this. Thank you for the explanation! :)

Yeah, would be possible, but I don't know how sensible the board is (HF signals on battery, high current peaks etc.). Maybe trying this out in a few weeks, would be amazing. :)
[General Questions and Answers] WantToJAVA:
I think the main problem is that the same uUSB socket is used to charge the battery. So you also have to install a blocking diode in series to prevent the two '+' voltage supplies meeting each other as well. And the forward bias voltage for the series blocking diode will further drop the voltage down to 3.5V for a silicon diode. However this is still within limits of the definition allowed.

Don't know about adding an IC in there too, though...
[General Questions and Answers] jellysheep:
Yeah, you're right. Maybe the two connected + voltages would not matter because definitely there can't be a current from and to the battery.

It could work to lay out the battery pins to the outside and do the modifications on an external USB cable so that the battery pins are not connected to the uUSB socket pins.
[General Questions and Answers] kristakos:
If tablet allow to supply external device I don't see problem to build convertor to step up the voltage from 4v to 5.2v for example ,it depends how much voltages can deliver.

One example here

My idea is to use otg without external power supply(of course this is for low power consumption devices)
[General Questions and Answers] Felborn:
This poxy thing is doing my head in... So today I rootet with framaroot, whole thing was rooted in all of 2 seconds. I fired up OTG helper software, it said it did some fixed and asked for a reboot. Rebooted, and tada! Still nothing!

I have a USB OTG cable with exernal power, I connect a USB stick and I can see the light on the stick fire up so it's getting power, but my device can't access it or sees it at all. Can anyone link to a USB OTG cable that actually works with this tablet?
