You all made me very nervous about OTA update. So I applied two methods of preventing it and soft bricked my tablet in the process. The first method may have worked, not sure? I put FOTAKill.apk in /system/app as described here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2249350 If this didn't work, at least it didn't hurt anything.

Then, like a dummy, I tried a second method just to be sure. I navigated to /system/etc/security and rename the file "otacerts.zip" to "otacerts.zip.bak as described here http://www.chargeforums.com/forum/d...s-ota-update-very-easy-but-requires-root.html this method put me in a nasty boot loop and I cant keep my device in fastboot for more that a few seconds so I don't think there is anyway out? Stay away from this method of preventing OTA updates! If you have any thoughts about preventing OTA updates, regarding the first method described above, or with alternative methods, please share. Thanks

Is someone able to do a Titanium Backup of the 4.2.1 Version of the Stock Android Browser (not Chrome, Stock.).

Thanks in advanced,

Phil
[General Questions and Answers] rsndetre:
I could use that too. I lost the stock browser by mistake.

A factory reset didn't solve anything, but made the things worse ... chrome is unresponsive sometimes, the default launcher is crashing when I try to bring new apps from app drawer, so I am using Nova now.

Anyway, strange behaviour ...

Its not true, i unbricked tab on win7 x64. For me, everything works fine. At first, i didnt install drivers on the first step becouse my device has recognized. I supose becouse i installed asus drivers earlyer, from the asus site, you can try that. Than, on the 3rd step, during the service firmware flash, win was find the unknown device, and i just navigate to the folder from the device manager. Flashtool just continued writing after that. Its important to understand, when you plug in device, PC recognises him just for the few seconds. After that recharging starts, and than you must re-plug. Sorry on my bad english.

Just for the record, i have made very fine translation on Serbian, here is it, with drivers and flashtool.

Problem Asus M. Pad Hd 7

Hello to all,

I dont know where to go to solve my problem.

After the release of the new update 4.2.2 , for our Asus Memo Pad HD 7 ,

I tried to download it via OTA , but after downloading it .. to installation stops with the message "Error" ( in Recovery ) .

Someone has happened something like this?

I contacted Asus support , they said:

Dear Mr . Joseph ,

I provide the procedure for manually updating the device and also

the reset procedure .

- Turn off the pad ;

- Copy the update file ( ASUS_BUNDLE.zip ) and insert the SD card into the

pad ;

- Start download mode ( Droidboot ) -> PWR Key Volume UP

- Once started Droidboot , Select SD Download

- wait for the update phase .

Factory Reset :

- Turn off the pad ;

- Start download mode ( Droidboot ) -> PWR Key Volume UP

- Once started Droidboot , select Factory Reset

Sincerely .

-------------

But I went to the Asus site .. in the support section of our device , it 's nothing .

Someone can give me a solution to my problem ?

The only things I did were to the root , with framaroot .. and I put as system app whit Link2SD , the DPS Manager , could this be the cause?

Also just bought, while installing a previous update , half installed (still in recovery) has shut down the tablet.

Sorry for my bad English .

Thank you for help.

Hey guys :rolleyes

2 days ago i rescued my memo from soft brick. Then i began with little bit modding. (Change icons, statusbar .....) everything works fine. So the half night i modding and flashing. Modding and flashing. At late night (i was very tired) after flashing my pad was off. Nothing seems to go. When i put the usb cable to my pc , he shows unknown device. At next morning it comes nothing when i put it in. No windows sound NOTHING :(

So i got a Fullbrick.

I can not say today what exactly i have done at this night. I think i have push wrong buttons in spflashtool , but i am not sure.

Now a guy send me a link from 4.pda . i translate it and there was a member with exactly the same prob. He could rescue his pad when he take off the back cover and disconnect / connect the battery from mainboard.

Now my question : did anybody knows about this solution or has another idea about fullbrick. ?

Sorry for my bad english :p

Is it correct to use the scatter file of the ImageME173X folder for the final flashing step? In the 4.2.4 firmware attached to this thread the images are in the signed_bin folder and are only showing in the flash tool when the scatter file from that folder is selected.

Yes thats right :D

Right to use the scatter file from the ImageME173X folder or from the signed_bin folder?

Looking at the pictures you flashed 4.2.3 firmware for the example? Here the (not signed) images were in the ImageME173X folder.

The 4.2.4 has the (signed) images in the signed_bin folder.

CWM Custom Recovery (With Bugs) (HELP!!) ;)

CWM On my Memopad HD 7 ME173X(with Bugs)

Hey Guys

After many pages XDA threads, Flash processes and errors , it's me with my options, (I'm not a developer) (Copy + Paste;)) managed to get up and running CWM on my memo pad HD7. With Bugs.

Now I need developer help, because that is certainly much faster than when

I am Reading and Learning a few days long.

Firmware on The Device: ME173X_WW_user_4.2.4.06716_20130918

Bugs

1 The CWM is upside down. So boot to 180 degrees.

2.The SD Partition can not mounted, to save Backup, Reading is no Proble,m

I could create a full backup!!, but only with external SD card inserted. (see picture)

The buttons all work normally.

Build with MTKDroidTools, and also flashed.

Before the CWM Screen Boots , Starts The Select Screen from Stock Rom

edit: Install Flashable zip. Works

Then we'll see how it goes.

When somebody can Fix The Problems with me, Send me PN Please

(I think i had not enough Knowledge) at this Time and it would take much more Time.(Newbie)

And many Luck was there too. That it Boot.​
