The first one you can ignore. Hit OK. And then you're using the wrong scatter file. Read the instructions again.

I installed the new rom by dragompt. It is running very well. However, the tablet is rebooting all the time when it is not being in use. Does anyone know how I can debug why it is rebooting? Maybe the tablet has some log files with helpful information about the crash.

Hay everyone, I have modify my otg cable. And everything works fine with mouse and keyboard but my controller just don't want to work... (Controller is Logitech Chillstream and works perfectly on Xperia Z via otg) controller just blinking. Tablet doesn't recognize it, I try to make it work with dead trigger 2 but nothing. I try to connect USB flash drive but it doesn't work too. When I use USB OTG Helper It shows me "Mount: No drives found."

Have you got any idea how to get them on work?

Sorry for bad English...
[General Questions and Answers] rsndetre:
This tablet is very good as it is and if Asus won't upgrade it to 4.4 I am still happy with it. In fact, is my first device I don't feel the need to mess with. And considering the lack of support from Asus, maybe is for the better.
[General Questions and Answers] studon:
beyond :(

So having had one tablet already die thanks to failed update I didn't learn my lesson and ordered a replacement. Clearly was a bad decision. With this second tablet I did nothing and accepted the firmware update. Has to work... nope, failed! Stuck in a loop. No worries, tracked down a Windows box and followed superdragonpt's recovery instructions. Each step met with a happy green circle. But at the end of everything tablet won't turn on. As if totally out of power. No response. Appears to be a brick. And for an added bonus the windows computer no longer is able to talk to it. Would love to know what the return rate on these tablets is... :( . Any chance I leave it plugged in overnight it will cure itself. Thought not.
[General Questions and Answers] codelover:
Rescuing Hard Bricked ME173X

Sharing some tips, in case this helps someone.

For those who bricked their ME173X and do not feel like you want to send the device to Asus, you can try to reset the device by removing the battery, at least it worked for me, everytime.

Before trying this PLEASE make sure that you are really sure that your device is hard bricked:

* No showing charging logo when connected to charging adapter...

* Not responding to POWER button no matter how hard & how long you pressed.

* USB connected to PC but nothing happen. (Even all drivers installed & working properly previously)

* Not being able to enter "MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM" mode.

* Sometimes Windows's Device Manager might also shows disabled "Unknown" device.

Remarks:

* Some lucky user managed to get their 'bricked' device recovered just by leaving it for overnight, so only try this if your device remains the same for some period of time.

* This method is most applicable if the brick was caused by improper use of SP Flash Tool.

WARNING: TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!

EDIT: Remove your MicroSD card first if you have one.

So we start by removing the device's back cover, all you need are patience, time, and... fingernail (huh?).

I personally think there is a side much easier to open than the other side, so make sure you finish opening one side before going to the other side.

I usually start from the power button area, by using fingernail to create some space between the cover & body, as a start point, then slide & pull it a little bit, releasing the "clip/hook" (or whatever you call it for the sections that hold cover & body together), one by one.

Note that there are at least 5-6 clips on each side and 4 on top / bottom.

After cover has been removed, you can now unplug the battery cable connector, all you need to do is put you tool or fingernail (again) under the cable/connector and pull it UP slowly to disconnect it, leave it disconnected for a moment (1 minute should be more than enough), then connect it back.

At this stage the device supposed to be remain powered off, and SP Flash Tool should be ready to go once USB connected. (Only when there is a pending task: eg: 'Download', 'Read', 'Write' pressed.)

You can also try to press the power button to see how it goes. If you android is still good your should be able to boot normally (except date/time resetted), otherwise, if PreLoader Mode available again, follow the ROM installation guide to restore back to stock or whetever.

But if your device remains the same, i am sorry for wasting your time.

And finally, do you need me to teach you how to put back the back cover? :confused: oh really?!!
[General Questions and Answers] studon:
And now :)

Really should have had more faith. Woken by glowing screen of the tablet. :) (how could it not work given the tutorial is fool proof?)... See Asus this is why you should make recovery files available - this tablet would have been a return if not for this forum. (As noted firmware update failed on an untouched system. Also the first tablet would never have needed to have been returned if files had been available. So yeah, good policy you have there Asus... what returns rate is there on this tablet? Hope not too many are buying it early for a Christmas gift and leaving unopened - be much disappointment). Also thanks to codelover, opening the case was what I was thinking next - don't need to now :)

Hey guys, there is NO NEED to quote the whole post. I might update the post in the future with latest finds and the quoted text might then contains outdated info, thus misleading user. So if possible please edit the post to just include a reference link, that would be great. Thank you.

[MENTION=4855291]mariocroatia[/MENTION], you can only flash the custom ROM with the custom recovery, at the moment the only known method to flash stock is through SP Flash Tools, and those .rar are stock files SP Flash Tool ONLY. [MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION] wrote a good tutorial to flash, which part are you having problem to understand?
[General Questions and Answers] mrsanta:
Well those are Usefull Pictures indeed:good::good::good::good::good:

But When my Tablet Died, the only thing i did to recovered it was following the superdragon's Steps on his ROM THREAD

And all worked well.

I was able, not only to resurrect My ASUS from brick status, i also got the very new custom rom. Its awesome.
[General Questions and Answers] codelover:
Well, that was a different story if your USB connection was still working properly.

As i said, removing battery should be the last resort, only when the usual 'unbrick' method failed to work, such as the device is not connecting as a valid device even with drivers installed & worked before, under that situation, all PreLoader modes is not even possible, thus making the SP Flash Tool useless as it cannot talk to the device.

But more reports saying that the device will be coming back to normal again automatically after a day or so.

So far no matter how i played with the Flash Tool functions, when the device is unresponsive, reconnecting the battery seems to be the fastest way to get it back.

[MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION] Great news you are working already on a second version with the 4.4 stuff in.

As mentioned somewhere earlier the only app I'am missing in the current rom is the email.app (exchange is included). it would be great if you can include the exchange/email from 4.4.

One other issue I discovered this weekend is when using my bluetooth speakers. Streaming audio from the PAD to the speakers is not stable. Dropping out all of the time (with and without Viper enabled). Had no issues with the Stock ROM.

looking forward to the update! Will it be an update.zip or totally new ROM?
[General Questions and Answers] coolizard:
I've one question to Superdragonpt. It is possible diferent partition sizes (using flashing tool for exemple). Maybe a dumb question, but seems too much cache and system. 1Gb it's useful in data (but not essential).

Would it be possible to use a Ethernet to USB device on this tablet? It would make it a very handy tool for work if it did!
[General Questions and Answers] tomashokenberi:
It would require two things:

(1) Working USB OTG

(2) Kernel support for device

While otg may work if you provide additional power by means of "powered usb otg cable", i doubt that there is kernel support for such device.

soo i found out that the max(or the standard?) freq of the mt8125 is 1,6ghz :eek:

http://system-on-a-chip.findthedata.org/l/174/MediaTek-MT8125

hmm so one question to asus : wtf what kernel did you use ???
[General Questions and Answers] shiki87:
Lets hope that superdragon get a good cpu-tool, so we can unleash the 4 cores with 1,6 ghz^^

And maybe they slowed the pad down, so it has better batterystats
[General Questions and Answers] jananan:
how do you think we are getting the 10 hours battery life ?

i think i've seen the MT8125 clocked highest at 1.5Ghz only by other manufacturers...

i would be worried about heat issues at 1.6Ghz.
[General Questions and Answers] WantToJAVA:
I believe if you can get hold of the voltage control, you can can clock at a higher speed and slowly lower cpu voltage while testing for stability to extend battery life. A free app like Proton voltage control from the playstore does this, provided you can get at the controls. It might even be possible to increase battery life and go a 100MHz or 200MHz higher.
[General Questions and Answers] jananan:
true, provided Mediatek processors have the same yield across wafers during manufacturing. some might get lucky while others might not...

i've seen the mayhem when applications set lower voltages at boot using scripts... or the kernel is compiled with a lower than standard voltage... boot-loop ahoy :p

well, if only mediatek releases the actual kernel source.

on certain SOCs where the manufacturer provides full kernel source, it is possible to compile kernels to change more than just the processor voltage.

i) cpu voltage

ii) gpu voltage

iii) wifi voltage tweaks

iv) lcd voltage tweaks

v) vibrator motor power tweaks

vi) notification led power tweaks

vii) soft key backlight power tweaks

and many more power related tweaks... :good:
[General Questions and Answers] superdragonpt:
Its clocked @ 1.2 Ghz.

There are diff CPU Revs, our is clocked at 1.2 Ghz and it's REAL Name is MT8389:

From the official Mediatek's page:

http://www.mediatek.com/_en/01_products/04_pro.php?sn=1085

They only provide the full specs for the "normal" MT8125, our SoC is just an scalled down REVISION called MT8389.

Modded Case

I hope this information is not off topic. I bought a leather case for this tab on EBay for $6.96 with free shipping. I modified it by adding a non-slip surface for the stand. In the the picture, the stand is the center strip section where I first scotch taped the edges of the area to paint. I then coated the are with black silicon caulking compound and let it dry for 4 hours.

The little magnets which turn the screen on and off automatically when the cover closes are removed from dollar store clip on the ear earphones. If you do this find the orientation of the magnets which work; they should be spaced 0.5" apart from center to center and -repel- each other when you place them -on top- of each other. Doing this forms a north and south pole, which are the two poles the hall effect sensor is looking for. To find the correct placement to automatically close and open the screen, separate the repelling magnets and stick them 0.5" apart on to a piece of scotch tape sticky side up. Check to see that lowering the magnets on the scotch tape closes/opens the screen. I found that the area just under the notifications at the top worked well. You then simply close the case, and the scotch tape will stick to the case, allowing you to mark the position of the magnets. You can then chisel away the caulking to dig down to the leather where you will mount the magnets. Crazy glue works fine.

Here is a picture.
