4.4 Help?

Hi,

I really want Android 4.4 Kitkat on my ME173X. Is this possible if I root it? If so, how do I root it please?

Noob questions I know, i'm sorry. I've looked through this thread but am just more confused than when I started. Seriously frustrated here!

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] jole1999:
You cant get kitkat on me173x (yet)... But you can root very easily with framaroot app, you download the latest version on xda and click boromir in framaroot, reboot your device and it will be rooted.

Hey thanks so much. Now yet another issue has come up. When I try and boot into CWM, it is now using the stock android recovery.

Does anyone know how to reinstall the recovery without changing anything else on the tablet? I just need to use the "update from zip" functionality.

Ok, things are majorly screwed up now.

I went to the install CWM in Part #2 on this page:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2503668

Followe the instructions and now the tablet won't go past the initial white Asus boot logo where it will fade out and then restart the tablet over and over.

I knew I shouldn't have attempted this. Does anyone know how I can get this tablet fully booting up again?

Please, I Need Help:

I was in a similar problem like the user broksonic

...but before this was posted, i try to fix it, following the "unbrick" procedure of shoxxy. In order to do it, i left the pad down battery until it's off (20%, red battery icon) and start flashing. I do the "write memory" "special format 1", "special format 2" and when i go to the last step "install firmware" , load the scatter file, and just one file (preloader) was selected... . After read a lot (and supedragonpt say to that it's okay) i try to do this step, but when connect the pad to the pc, two installation drivers pop-up (usb... and DA usb....). I try to ignore that but when click on spft to download, do nothing. So i give the path for the drivers and install it, and then the flashtool do your job. But when i disconnect the pad and reconnect it's no recognized anymore, no power on, no charge (i left more than ten hours on the wall chager and another ten on usb port _powered_ ). I thing it was "deep bricked" and i not have any hope, as a last resort try to connect on other pc, swap usb ports, connect touching the keys......and then, the pc recognize it. "Mediatek Usb Port #". :)

After that, i don't want to do more stupid things, and ask for help to them who know. What should I do now? Can flash something with the battery so low? There's a way to charge the battery? I try the "unplug battery" too (try again?).

My pad is a K00B model (US or Canadian, i think), the rom in "unbrick" thread (ME173X_WW_user_4.2.4.06716_20130918) is usable for my tab? The preloader in the last step is the 120.748 bytes long.

Thanks to all in advance, sorry for the long story.
[General Questions and Answers] minimonkey7:
First off make sure you stick with the same USB port. Open device manager and then plug it in and let us know exactly what it installs as in device manager. Its possible that if it installs as mediatek DA usb you will need to leave it unplugged for 1-2 days then when you plug back into you will get mediatek preloader usb and be able to start again from snapdragon recovery thread.
[General Questions and Answers] jpega:
Hi, minimonkey and thanks for your reply! Maybe at the moment to do the last step of the unbrick procedure, i try to connect the tab in another port, or the port i was using not take anymore the tab, but, before that, the Vcom drivers was installed and the flashing procedure ends with success (green ring). As i say in my post, "DA usb" drivers popup to install in the moment i plug the tab to flash the last step of the unbrick procedure. If now plug the tab to the pc, nothing happens, but when i push power button and volume up for a while (30s or more), on a pc that not have drivers installed it show me "mt65xx preloader" and the drivers usb vcom were succefuslly installed. After that device manager shows "mediatek usb vcom port #7" or something like that. In the pc used to flash, i try a "trickle charge" from usb port, taked from a galaxy device forum that involves press power button and put a finger on the touchscreen, i do it for more than 30s and release and nothing happens but more than 10s later, i hear the sound of the "device connected" and go to the device managar and see the "mediatek usb/vcom port #". I'm pretty sure that it's the driver i use to flash (vcom) and its under "ports" on device manager.

My fear now is flash something without battery. ¿can be done? My pad have no system at all now (if i understood "special format" does), just only the preloader (120.748 bytes long) founded in ImageME173x folder, alone, without the rest of the system (inside "signed_bin" folder) Need to flash something so that the battery begins to charge? This preloader (and this rom) are good for my K00B tab? If i disconnect the battery, my pc will recognize it again? Too many questions, but seems i have one shot only.
[General Questions and Answers] minimonkey7:
No worries I soft bricked mine the other week and it only showed "mediatek DA USB vcom" in under com ports in device manager. I found somewhere in this thread the answer was to just leave it unplugged for 1-2 days, so I left it at work for the weekend and when I plugged it back in on Monday morning it came up in the correct mode "mediatek preloader USB vcom. At this time there was no charge in it but it let me do the recovery part in superdragon thread and then I charged it after and all was well.
[General Questions and Answers] jpega:
I left the pad for more than two days and connect to the wall charger. Nothing. Charger is cold, tablet is cold. Later, i connect it to the pc. Nothing.

Seems like the only way to recognize it is pushing the power button for 30s or more.

I found some stuff for my US model. Stock preloader and recovery, unlocked preloader and CWM-recovery, from the user BSydz, but i don't know were to start and what to do. The scatter file provided seems to be the same like the WW model.

Maybe have to disconnect the battery again, wait, and see if it's work. Or try to flash a preloader (stock or unlock?) and see if this action fix the problem with the battery.
[General Questions and Answers] minimonkey7:
So when you plug it into the PC does it not show in device manager for a few seconds? If it shows in device manager for a few seconds under Com Ports as Mediatek preloader USB VCOM then you will be able to follow the recovery thread from the start and get CWM back on to flash a ROM. All you need is this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2503668

Rooting me176cx

Does anyone know how to root the newer Asus Memo Pad 7? The new me176cx model? Or any root guide pertaining to Intel Atom devices, or kernels built June 26th or older? Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] jpega:
Men, you not read my posts!! (but i really appreciate your answers :)). As i say before, have the vcom drivers installed in two pc's. The pc "see" the pad only when i push the power button for a while. When showing in device manager "Mediatek vcom port..." connection stay stable until i disconnect the pad. As i say before too, i follow the recovery procedure with success (flashing always ends with a green ring), so i complete the part one (the four steps).

Now i'm starting to answering my own questions. I'm start with the stuff of page 30 of recovery thread, maybe here got confused.

When you send me to the recovery thread, i think "it send me when i start, why?????" (i read almost 90% of that thread...117 pages xD ) , but then i do a binary compare with the preloader i flash in step four, and the US_unlock_preloader of BSydz and were identicals. The rom i mentioned is the usual for recovery, i think. Look at the binary's of the second part of recovery, and seems they are needed in order to charge the battery, so, i'm in the half way, i must go to part 2 (unlock bootloader install recovery) , then try to charge the tab.

Two questions left: The preloader in the unlock folder is different with the "US stock" and the "US unlock" too, must i replace it?

The recovery (and the rest of the stuff in unlock folder) works well for the US model?
[General Questions and Answers] jpega:
Well, after almost a week without feedback, take the risk and go ahead.

Open the flashtool, load the stuff "unlock...flash custom..", and press download. Connect the tab and nothing, like was expected. Like user broksonic do, push the power button. After a (long) while, something popup, but was not the "mediatek vcom..." . Stop flashtool, change the ports, two times more until get the correct one (or force installation). And then yes, flash begin. Cross the fingers for battery...green ring. Ok. Unplug from pc and plug the wall charger. Red battery icon!! and after some time see the asus logo, my pad is back! Push power for a while and it shut down, but in 3sec it power on again. Shut down again and go to recovery menu, but can't go into recovery, left charging in logo and try again, this time go in, but reboot in a minute. Search for a solution, see about "preloader_fix", get it (the same long as unlocked ...file compare ...same file), flash it, and pad not power on, show me the green battery (25%) and see the legend "power off charge mode". But don't go beyond of 25%. Check pad and wall charger after four hours and feel warm. I Can go into Carliv Touch Recovery, shut off, reboot, navigate, it works. But have the battery issue.

Now can try to flash a rom with low battery from recovery, do the "battery disconnect" trick or wait for some feedback and solution. or flash with spft a WW firmware.

Thanks minimonkey for your replys. Sorry if i bother some people here (bsydz for pm you) and for my bad english.

[General Questions and Answers] superdragonpt:
OK let it go....

I already got the OTA. ;)

Whats new?

- Still JB 4.2.2

- You'll notice some very small app updates.(nothing of bigger importance)

- Kernel version is also new (14/07/2014), nothing new concerning kernel features...

- Some small updates on camera HAL (camera driver), didn't noticed bigger improvements on Camera...

- The new Play Store still got "buggy" icons (black)

The most important:

From what i gather this is an pre-OTA for another bigger future OTA (maybe KitKat ?)

This one is pretty useless to update...

Also you'll neeed to be 100% Stock to get the OTA's.

I'll make an flashable.zip of this new Build (will just add root...) so that you guys can flash it via CWM and test.

Success!!!!! After trying the battery trick once again and not work, i was playing with CTR and do the necessary wipes for flashing, think about risking with the flash or do the battery+wait, calculate the time in playing in CTR...about ten minutes...go ahead with flash. I choose the Bsydz 4.2.2 stock US rom and go. Less than 3m (and some minutes like seem forever to bootup) and my memo is back to life.

When i look at the battery it shows....50%!! and after a few boots it go to 70%. So, the pad was charging, but not show that.

---------- Post added at 05:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 AM ----------

The custom rom is the backup that you created before writing with flashtool (too late?). Or superdragon's rom. You are not telling what happen with your pad. If it was in a trouble choose a stock rom for your model. I have a US model (it's in the back of your tablet, mine says K00B) so i flash a stock US firmware. That vcom drivers are for flashtool only. If your tablet go into recovery, maybe your pc can detect it as an mtp device, and ask for install the drivers (to see it in windows).

You must put the rom (.zip) you want flash and ADB files into a folder (ie. "asus" in "c:" drive), then open a msdos window (go to start->run and write "cmd" on XP) and write "cd c:\asus" and then, you can type "adb devices" (if you previously have adb.exe in that folder). But if you don't know how to work on the console, maybe its better you put a sd card reader, or load the rom in sd on another pc, or device, like a camera.
