1) I love chatting with you Exnor.. I will never debate with you my friend.. :cool: I just wanted to show you the HD 7 equipped with a Celeron ;)

2) The Bay Trailers are among us for 2014. :good: But, are they not primarily for Windows based Products? Specs look cool though..

3) I tried EVERY "One-Click" / "Should-Work" method out there when I owned the FHD 10 I finally got frustrated and quit.

4) Android was made to Root.. Designed to Root... Give the most Functionality when Rooted... ( The Double Tap to Wake & Swipe to Sleep embedded in my Kernel are worth the price of admission alone..) I felt so Crippled not having it. And I was NOT going to run a ROM from a Foreign Country in a Language that is not my own to have Make-Shift Root.. I'm really surprised that Asus, knowing the base they could have for your MeMO if they had of just went with the Snapdragon SoC that is in the MeMO FHD 10 LTE just Shocks the Hell out of me... It's like, they have no idea how big the Developing Community is.. and just looking at the Nexus-7 2013 thread gives proof that popularity BRINGS IN EVEN MORE DOLLARS ASUS!

You should know that Asus since you make the Nexus!!!

I understand using Intel SoC for the Windows based Phones & Tablets ( Just like they are doing with Bay Trail ) But Asus if you had just used the *Standard* Snapdragon Platform like you did with the MeMO FHD 10 LTE, At $300.00 a pop for these Tablet's you could have made a killing. Feature for Feature, there is NOTHING at this price point that matches it with a 10.1 Screen.. the Community would have sucked them up...

But you Cut Off Your Nose To Spite Your Face Asus.. This Tablet could have had Tons of Developer Support with a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC inside not to mention ALL of the Major ROM's that are available across multiple platforms..

But you chose the CloverTrail+ Route.. Asus.. It's a Route that is not traveled by the Developing Community. And like you said Exnor, it may never get traveled here at XDA. :(
[Android General] Exnor:
I agree mate (btw i love our chatting too :D)... Asus should have used a Snapdragon 600 (or 800 :D) on this tablet. Devs are a lot more interested in ARM arch than x86 :/

About the Z3xxx series Asus have one on the market right now (Asus Transformer Book T100) but like you noticed it runs Windows OS :P.

It would be awesome if some devs got their hands on the FHD because i get the impression that is possible to make dual boot the device and use Windows RT on it... it sure have the hardware for it... Plus this Atom cores have VT extensions so we can use Virtualization soft even more efficiently.

2014 going to be a year full of new tech :D

Back On Topic - Rooting MemoPad - Custom ROM

Hope someone here is using the utilities I am and can offer some insights

Tried all of the batch style rooting methods, none worked

Didn't try the WW ROM, prefer to stay with US ROM

Decided to cook my own using kitchen from XDA

Installed JDK, Cygwin, kitchen

Downloaded latest update from ASUS site (full 4.7.3 ROM zip)

Ran the complete build process in kitchen with the following errors along the way:

No 'magic' at start of boot.img

Android header not found in bootimg

No Ramdisk folder found

I added root permissions as part of build

Put cooked zip file on SD Card

Ran recovery on MemoPad and selected 'SD Download'

Noticed it was not running the updater script as UI messages were different

Appears to have just done a Factory Reset, no ROM flash, all user data gone

I had tried to install ROM using fastboot update but got an error that there were no Android text files

Any ideas? I've got this nice cooked new ROM but can't get it installed...

[MENTION=406810]djsven[/MENTION]: thanks for the link. I have been there and as I stated I don't want to load a WW ROM I'd like to build my own US ROM but I can't figure out how to load it with fastboot.
[Android General] RaiderWill:
Major Developers here at XDA have "Zero" interest in working the x86 side of the street Exnor.. :(

But you know Exnor, I think I remember reading something somewhere that someone was looking into being able to run the Windows Platform on x86 Android SoC.. And that makes a lot more sense if you think about it.. This MeMO should be Heavy on Windows which is Intel's strong suite and.. a little Android on the side...

That would be a much better and more "Natural" path for the MeMO FHD 10 to take.. Everything is already in place for some "Custom Windows" action.. but on the Android side There is still a Universal Rooting Process.. Custom Recovery (TWRP or CWM).. Custom ROM & Custom Kernel to be created.. I think your Dual-Boot SoC ( With Windows RT becoming the Primary SoC and Android Secondary ) makes a lot more sense my friend.. Maybe you should lobby for that? :cool:
[Android General] gbkelley:
Well I certainly hope not *ALL* developers get disillusioned by your discussion of how ASUS shouldn't have used the Intel chip. That's what they chose and that's what we have to work with, so I'm hoping someone recognizes the value of this great tablet and invests SOME effort into perhaps making a root for it. (Looks like someone in Germany did but they used the WW ROM not the US). I'm not interested in custom ROMS, etc just a simple root. I've tried everything within my limited capabilities to build a rooted factory ROM (from the update ROM) and install, but nothing has worked so far. I'll have to leave it to those more capable than I.
[Android General] RaiderWill:
You're saying the same things we are....:cool:

Just in a different way.... ;)

And not to worry... I have ZERO influence over how others spend their money :D Developers have had 6 months to take this Tablet under their wing and work with the Intel Processor... No One has chosen to do so.. Believe Me, I had little to do with that. As me and my Buddy Exnor have stated in this Thread ( Since it's mainly a "Two-Way" conversation anyway ) We Hope For The Best for the FHD 10... But Fear, You Are Experiencing The Worse since Intel SoC appears to be "Hands Off" for 2013.

2014 is now days away... Let's hope more in-roads can be made. :good:
[Android General] gbkelley:
Well at least one brave soul djsven (the OP) has built a flashable system image that is rooted, so I'm hoping someone else follows his example and does one for us Yanks. Heck, I'd even try it if he gave me the process he used to make it. When I tried to fastboot flash update the zip file I created using kitchen, the ASUS refused to process the file. Probably a signing issue. This has become somewhat of a 'quest' for me just to say I did it. :p
[Android General] vuger22:
Hello,

I have a problem with my Asus, on screen is apparing some lines why is this happening?
[Android General] gbkelley:
You need to remove the 'Burlap Bag' screen protector. :laugh:

Sorry, couldn't resist...

If you have powered off and back on (reboot) then it may be a bad video controller.

You could go into restore menu and do a restore or even reload the latest update or reboot from there. Do you have 4.7.3 running?

Hardware issues are easy fix - return under warranty for replacement. Software issues are more 'problematic'...
[Android General] vuger22:
Yes, i have 4.7.3 .

It have ben on servise with warranty, and they replace motherboard, but the problem is the same.
[Android General] Exnor:
Yep. None of us is trying to dissuade anyone from getting an Intel based Android computer, mate.

In fact i love my FHD and think this SoC its great (not so great as the new Z3xxx series but still better than most ARM based SoC's out there).

And yes one of my greatest concerns (in the long run) is that no Dev its willing to develop to this device :/... Personally i don't need Root right now but other people (like my mate Raider) might have the need for it ASAP (i think that is one of the points that made him not to keep is FHD).

Personally i would love to see MIPS and Power based Android devices... (actually i saw a MIPS based SoC on a tablet in 2011 but it was so bad in performance...) Having ARM as the only big competitor on the market is not good for the consumer in the long run. We need competition.

Since the FHD is now more affordable my hope is that some dev pick it up and make an effort to at least give us a Root method.

Well there are IMO several possible causes but one that immediately come to mind is the LCD control chipset (that is on the LCD itself most of the times) is busted...

Other possibility is that the cable that connects the LCD to the chipboard (motherboard) is either damaged or badly inserted...

Anyway you should return it, and specify what is happening to the screen because a lot of thing can be bad on that unit.
[Android General] RaiderWill:
My Friend you Love you're Intel SoC as much as I Love my Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC... :laugh:

And Yes.. You are correct... Support.. U.S.A. support for the MeMO just is not there.. and one of the Main Reasons I returned the Tablet. :cool:

I know this sounds crazy Sir.. But have you tried Slapping the back of the Tablet like you were slapping the back of a child's head while hold it to see if you have a short? and a factory reset can do wonders as well.. but your issue looks Cable Connection related IMO.. :cool:
[Android General] gbkelley:
Thinking Out Loud Here...

Since ASUS provides an 'App Backup' app that can backup and restore apps and data, they must be gaining root somehow. I wonder if they don't have a binary in /system/bin that is named something else that's actually su? If found, maybe one of the superuser devs could have an 'ASUS' switch that calls the renamed su binary instead of su. Of course once ASUS catches wind of this they'll change something...

djsven is going to send me the process to create a rooted system image like he did with the WW update file. Hopefully I can create a US region image that will work, we'll see...
[Android General] camandiisdad:
So what does developer options in the setting actually do? Looking at it i was hoping to find a MAGICAL option for atleast removing the bloatware.

Mind you that option in the settings are a "hidden " tab. You have to tap on the build number a few times in a row to become a "developer".
[Android General] caniswesley:
Aaaaah! What happened here? Sounded promising....... And then silence? May day may day! Rooter down! Send in the med evac team!
[Android General] gbL420:
I need help with the German 4.7.3 rooted firmware, I can't get superuser to update or any root apps to work (rom toolbox & orbot) but the avg scanner says I have "high privilege access: root access" and I have the su bin in /system/bin

You have to install the exactly version of superuser.apk.have s look at german andriod hilfe.:)

Making US System.img File

djsven: I have mounted your system.img file and I do not see any superuser.apk file in Apps folder? I am running Ubuntu v12

I have US 4.7.3 version unzipped into a /work folder with just the system folder and the build.prop and recovery files.

I have added su into /xbin and have chown root:root on all files and chmod 0755 on all files.

I plan to build a US system.img file with this: ./make_ext4fs -s -l 1344M -a system ME302C-US.img work/

I just need to find the correct superuser.apk file.

Update: OK I see it isn't in the App folder it is a separate file to fastboot install after flash.

Tried to fastboot flash the img file without first fastboot erase cache/userdata/system and got an 'out of room' error so will go back and erase everything first then try flash again.

Latest Update: I ran fastboot erase cache/userdata/system then fastboot flash system and got an error 'no more room on device' after sending the file over. Not sure why I'm getting this with system erased...ideas djsven?

Double Your Pleasure ??

Hello My Friend... :cool:

I just seen over at Amazon they are BLOWING OUT your Tablet... :confused:

You might want to consider getting the Wife one at only: $238.00 Bucks.... That's Cheap Man!

Since you don't need Root or ROM in your Household on this device the Mrs. might just love having a Tablet like yours..

Just wanted to make sure you were aware... That's a steal price if all one needs is stock UI.. :cool:

F.Y.I our LG G-Pads are getting official Cyanogen 11.0 (4.4 KitKat) in the next 24 hrs or so.. They are building for multiple devices but our 8.3's are not baked yet.. I am running an unofficial version that has everything working but the camera and it's pretty sweet I should have stuck with my gut and waited for the G-Pad 8.3 a month ago.. now that I have it, I wonder how I would live without it.. It's Perfect.
[Android General] Exnor:
Well here in Europe this tablet is still at its original price (near 400 dollars after converting from Euros)... so its still a no go for a 2nd unit (plus my wife insist in liking 7inch tabs... -_- )

Cyanogen is great :D it would be awesome to have it to on the FHD someday.

I would be more excited if some dev worked on dual boot the FHD since a lot of Linux distros are available for other Android devices (ARM builds of course) and this SoC + RAM can handle even Windows 8 RT... that would be very sweet :)
[Android General] RaiderWill:
I'm sorry I don't understand.. You're saying because of your location, you don't have access to Amazon here in U.S.A. ? I did not know that.. And, I don't understand why.. Unless Amazon does not ship internationally.. That's a big difference in price. :cool:
[Android General] Exnor:
They do ship to Europe mate... but i would have to pay costums taxes... Euro laws are not kind to consumers that import from US...

That's why i still dont have a Pebble watch : (
[Android General] RaiderWill:
I understand.. well the good news is you and your Wife are 100% happy (Me too with my G-Pad 8.3) with what you have.. and that's a good thing.. ;)

Don't worry about the watch.. it's just a fad.. after a few weeks you would wonder why you spent so much money on it.. give them a year.. they'll be $99.95. :cool:

Problem When Rooting!

Hey guys,

I am running into an issue when trying to load system_4_6_2_root.img.gz

So far I've run,

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase system

But when I try to do "fastboot flash system_4_6_2_root.img.gz" it says "error cannot open system_4_6_2_root.img.gz"

And of course, the file is in the same folder as the adb and flashboot .exe's.

And now I can't get back into my tablet cause everything is erased. What should I do at this point? Thanks for the help in advance.
[Android General] Exnor:
I really hope so because i really like the concept... but not the ones from Samy or Sony... They are too much for a watch and overpriced.

Pebble is nice because it does not look like a dorky accessory and it does all the stuff one needs on a watch.

---------- Post added at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------

Is it not supposed to have the img file unzipped 1st? I'm not sure because last time i flash a device was my TF101 3 months ago :P and i cant remember if it was zipped or not...
[Android General] hiimay:
Yep, tried it both ways. Is there a way to recover the original OS?

Edit: Nevermind, figured it out :)
[Android General] RaiderWill:
Wow... Nice.. :good:

It's priced @: $149.99 over here in Black or Red..

It only got *3.4* out of *5* by the 140 consumers who purchased it..

Rethinking our little Memo

Raider Will, I think it is great to see you stick round and see if there is any progress with your "imperfect" Memo.

But I have been following this thread for a while , and feel that it is getting poluted. Great you have moved on.

You made sure everyone is "aware" (your signature ) there is something wrong with the Intel Soc. Well I diasagree!

I believe it is great. I see future in an x86 core instead of just more cores on ARM achitecture, and I would like to support that.

As for our 10 inch Memo, it checked all my boxes ;

- Sales price of less then $250 (Sams club price match at Office Depot $248)

- 10inch full HD screen with good color gamut

- Good to great battery life (All Saturday with the wife, on our Memo's)

- Very important! Cool to the touch, no excess heat.

- 2GB internal Ram for reducing load on sleep/save to disk.

- Proper HDMI output with adaptive scaling

- Light enough to hold in one hand for a while

- Micro SD port for added storage.

- Unlocked boot loader!!

- Intel data execution capabilities, and superior Wi-Fi bridge.

- Capable of playing a 1080p movie on "the big screen" from our NAS

So can anyone show me (Android) tablet that checks all (most) of these boxes?

Are there any things that I would like to see the Memo to have / happen ?? Sure ;

- The camera is not that great. (TF300 has waayyy sharper output)

- Root ability, custom rom's Rom's. remove bloatware

- Linux distro would reduce my Android to apps/entertainment.

- Cases are hard to get a hold of if it is not made by Apple.

So aside from the camera (hardware) These points are going to be a no issue if the product is

sold / picked up by enough people. Asus for me has hit a home run. (very balanced, based on price)

Just my 2 cents

I meant, can you post what is in the xml layout files themselves. e.g.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_height="match_parent"> ..... </LinearLayout>

Perhaps it's also useful to stick a Log/Toast statement within the if you posted to be sure which layout is being used.

I'm a bit confused. T-Moble can't help; the sales people I speak with just don't know.

I need a replacement for my Nokia 6230 phone, but would like a phone, access to my contacts in my Outlook on my PC (which is linked to my Exchange 2003 server) and Email.

We have Exchange 2003 with OMA, however I understand I need an OMA or Activesync compatible device. T-Mobile's manual for the MDA III on their uk site says IT IS NOT COMPATBLE, but i hear from lots of people it is.

Can anyone shed any light.

I'm a heavy phone user and am willing to take the risk on size of unit, Whlst I want emails, its more to read/ad-hoc reply.

Any comments.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] decoy7:
yes the MDA III is compatible with ActiveSync, i'm running version 3.8 and it's fine.

dont really use the phone features so cant comment on those but it works great as an in car navigator when paired with a BlueTooth GPS receiver and TomTom software...dont bother asking T-Mobile anything technical, competency is not one of their strong points....thats why these forums exist.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] TheLastOne:
Now is not the time to buy a Pocket PC. The new line of HTC devices (Universal, Wizard, etc) will be out in a few months, with Windows Mobile 5.0 and a host of other new features.

Unless there is some urgent need for a new Pocket PC purchase now, I HIGHLY recommend waiting.

Could resist waiting anylonger, bought the MDAIII on 7 day trial.

Will see how it goes.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] decoy7:
technology changes everyday, if you want something now buy what you want now, the best in the current market place that fits your needs....if you sit and wait for whats round the corner you'll constantly be waiting for the next best thing.....especially when its not even in the market place yet let alone on your particular service providers inventory.

the only time to wait is when they say this'll be in next week....aside from that forget the speculation about the next model due in 3 months time.....unless your buying a car maybe.

[Google Chromecast] bengadget:
"Google's $35 Chromecast fared well in our review, but something that could make it even more useful is the ability to stream pictures and video from mobile devices. Users have been able to work around that on PCs by entering info for locally stored files into the Chrome address bar, and now ClockworkMod developer Koushik Dutta is showing off a solution for mobile that closes the gap with AirPlay. Demonstrated in the video after the break, his Phone to Chromecast app can fling pictures or videos stored on the phone directly to the dongle -- apparently thanks to web server software he'd already created for Android. There's no specific word on the codecs or resolutions tested, but he reports videos work at full framerate "like magic." The only bad news? The preview SDK terms mean he can't distribute the APK without written permission from Google, so this demo is as close as we're getting for now."

Could this be integrated as a general 'share' feature with other apps like gallery, quickpic, etc?

My fear is that if they don't approve it, and it gets released anyway, Google will take steps to block it to appease content providers like HBO, Vudu, or whoever else they're trying to get onboard.

So this would be similar to Samsung's AllCast? I know allcast uses DLNA while this uses a webserver, but functionally it would offer the same ability.

It seems with this method it could be easier to connect with and cast networked shares.
