its version 3.2.4 (Android 4.2.2 )

its for Asus fonepad 7 ME372CG

if you want to use Xposed Framework, please download and flash the raw file

Current issues after flashing the raw image :

1. Unable to fetch any updates for the system (only shows your system is up-to-date) (might be because of my mobile carrier) ( NOT Confirmed ! )

yes... its intended for flashing via droidboot
[Asus Fonepad 7] qianw:
can we do below:

1. flash 3..2.4 raw file into ME372CG

2. put those 3.2.4->5.xx zip file (for upgrading) into fastboot floder, and use fastboot to download it into ME372CG?

OS Related Problem in ASUS Fonepad ME372CG

Recently I have brought ASUS Fonepad ME372CG from China. The problem is that most of the apps are built in this device are china. Even here is installed china "Play Store". That's why i can't use play store even. So i want to re install the android OS on this device which will give me better use. Previously I used SONY smartphone. IN SONY I could update/ re install OS via Sony PC Comapnion/SUS. But there may be is not any direct software for ASUS for Update/ re install like SONY. So how can I re install OS on my ASUS Fonepad device? PLZ tell me the way so that i can re install OS on my device. Plz experts help me.

Thank You
[Asus Fonepad 7] MEHRDAD595:
i dont think so!

coz i couldnt becoz of that it says our cache folder size is not enough for moving update file to it and then start flashing!

dont know,maybe it was just mine!

try it yourself! :)
[Asus Fonepad 7] eagleofdeath13:
Maybe by naming it update.ZIP and putting it on sdcard?
[Asus Fonepad 7] Fuad.kh:
i will try to flash update to 5.2.5 what is the correct command for flashing?
[Asus Fonepad 7] MEHRDAD595:
it wont work! tried! :)

fastboot flash update XXXX.zip
[Asus Fonepad 7] Fuad.kh:
is there any risk in trying
[Asus Fonepad 7] MEHRDAD595:
of course!

if u know what u r doing,no

but even like me u can brick it! :)
[Asus Fonepad 7] eagleofdeath13:
It would be cool to put all update files somewhere, i think they could help (at least developpers)
[Asus Fonepad 7] Fuad.kh:
flashing failed

update file moved to the tablet then its failed

E:unable to rename file /cache/update.zip : cross-device link
E:unable to write file /cache/update.zip
E:update flash failed!
[Asus Fonepad 7] MEHRDAD595:
It failed becoz we cant push such a huge file in the cache folder! :)
[Asus Fonepad 7] Fuad.kh:
but the file pushed successfuly
[Asus Fonepad 7] MEHRDAD595:
ill do it in near future when got some more free time to upload! :)

nope,it doesnt!

E:unable to write file /cache/update.zip

it couldnt make update.zip file in cache folder becoz of size so it failed!

if u r on 5.2.2 then try 5.1.6->5.2.2 zip file and u see u can flash it becoz its more small compare to 5.2.5 update file! :)
[Asus Fonepad 7] Fuad.kh:
so how ota update works ?
[Asus Fonepad 7] MEHRDAD595:
dont know!

installing is same,but dont know how(where) it saves update file!
[Asus Fonepad 7] Fuad.kh:
update file is saved in /cache partition i extracted it from there its named "dlpkg" without extension
[Asus Fonepad 7] qianw:
how come?

/cache size is 689MB, the zip file is less than 300MB.

you need to dleete all files under /cache first and then try...;)

anyway we can split a big zip file into several small zip files, right?
[Asus Fonepad 7] hotvibes:
Can you please clarify how to copy the update file? I could not find it any where.
[Asus Fonepad 7] qianw:
before i downloaded them from somewhere, you may find the URL in xda.

how to mount external card to a folder of internal card?

for example: i want to read/write a folder "test" of internal card, but it actually is mapping to external card.

how to do it?

i tried to use script editor to run some scripts, finally it failed.
[Asus Fonepad 7] eagleofdeath13:
Afaik you can't "mount" a folder, only a partition.
[Asus Fonepad 7] qianw:
are you sure?:confused:

i did it on samsung i8160 properly, but it doesn't work on me372cg:

#!/system/xbin/sh

SD="/mnt/sdcard/"

ET="/mnt/extSdCard/"

EX="external_sd/"

busybox mount -o bind "$ET" "$SD$EX"
[Asus Fonepad 7] eagleofdeath13:
Have you tried to type this on a terminal?

(Except first line)

And your "busybox" isn't usefull on last line ^^
[Asus Fonepad 7] qianw:
no. actually script editor is same as terminal.

with script editor, the script (i make some changes on it) can run propelry, and /Removable/MicroSD/test is mapped to /sdcard/test successfully, but:

1. i can create files in /Removable/MicroSD/test, and i can see them under /sdcard/test

2. i can NOT create files in /sdcard/test

so it is userless...

i also try this app, same result.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount
[Asus Fonepad 7] eagleofdeath13:
Tried some chown and chmod?
[Asus Fonepad 7] qianw:
i check them and look ok.

i don't know why this app also has problem:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount
[Asus Fonepad 7] eagleofdeath13:
chmod -R 777 /sdcard/test

does something?
[Asus Fonepad 7] qianw:
thanks, tomorrow i will test it...i had deleted the app and script.

compare samsung ace 2 (i8160) and me372cg, there is one difference:

for i8160, under /mnt and /storage, there are two "link"s for external storage card;

for me372cg, under /mnt and /storage, nothing for external storage card.

can we add the "link"s to me372cg?
[Asus Fonepad 7] eagleofdeath13:
Linux can do symlink, yes ^^

No news, root is working, now we have to find a way to get a recovery
[Asus Fonepad 7] Diwakar1990:
recovery

find a way to edit .raw file and use recovery of samsung p5200 i think it will work.botto is a developer who edited that .raw file of old fonepad.
[Asus Fonepad 7] eagleofdeath13:
As the name says, a raw file, is the raw filesystem, so where to put the recovery? And we're not sure that the one you say will work.
[Asus Fonepad 7] Diwakar1990:
this will definately work as p5200 has same processor ram screen resolution.and .raw file is just like zip file which we use for custom roms.i dont know how to open it
[Asus Fonepad 7] eagleofdeath13:
Same principal hardware, but are you sure that boot process is the same? If not it will break. And no, raw file is (not really, but that's the principle) like system.img, it's the full memory backup
[Asus Fonepad 7] MEHRDAD595:
do u still want to help for getting boot.img? :D
[Asus Fonepad 7] eagleofdeath13:
You have a way?

but i need a device while i dont have any! :P

[Asus Fonepad 7] Diwakar1990:
bro i am not sure about samsung devices but quite sure that dell venue 7 i very similar to our device.and it has a option in droidboot to enter recovery too.so i am searching for a guy with that device from my perspective .if any one of you can locate arrange its firmware as arranged for our device.now about .raw image .it is truly a full backup but every section is intact as it writes while flashing like flashing system flashing boot.so we can here replace ots fastboot.img with ours.

---------- Post added at 06:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 AM ----------

i have some doubt about fastboot.img.p that it is fastboot.img because after flashing whole fastboot is changed.
[Asus Fonepad 7] RootOfAmirul:
Who can use screen recorder on this device? Cant use...keep restarting...
[Asus Fonepad 7] eagleofdeath13:
Yeah, Dell Venue has more chances to work, but the raw file is like the filesystem of our devices, and boot.img is hidden on it, so even on the raw image, we have to find another way to find it and find a way to flash it.

And if you need, i'm here too :D

[Asus Fonepad 7] Diwakar1990:
so can you tell me the method to dump the boot.img and fastboot.img from our own device.as if a recovery menu is required in fastboot to boot into recovery.

My fonepad's screen rotation transition is not smooth now. Also opening and closing transition is not smooth. They were smooth before I used pre-loaded task manager. I didn't mess with system ( I have root access. Thank you MEHRDAD595).

The last time the transitions went jerky, I tried factory reset and then smooth transitions were back.

So, I didn't use the pre-loaded task manager for a week.

There were no problem. But I started using the pre-loaded task manager yesterday.

I pressed "close all" button on the task manager this morning and then the smooth transitions were gone.

So, those who still has smooth transitions, never use pre-loaded task manager because every time I use that task manager, it happens.

I tried other launchers but they were no help.

Thanks to MEHRDAD595, I have root access. So every time I do factory reset, I get settings and save files for most games and apps.

Please help me get back the smooth transition without doing factory reset. Thanks

I suggest to not update because Android 4.3 is not directly rootable by now, and the ota update could be the slightest chance to have privilege escalation. An updated system doesn't not accept the same update, indeed you will lose this single chance. Don't hurry.

for all who want to update from 5.2.2 to 5.2.5 .

1) download 132 mb file .

http://fota.asus.com/delta_package/...17-165330/V5.2.2_To_V5.2.5_partial_update.zip

2) rename it to dlpkgfile without extension.

3) use root explorer to put it to /cache folder.

4) now download command file inside zip folder and put it to /cache/recovery folder.

5) now open command prompt at adb folder.type "adb reboot recovery" without coat.

note:no unroot needed it will be unrooted by itself.

if still any problem free to contact me.

What do you mean
[Asus Fonepad 7] eagleofdeath13:
It's a raw image of 8GB of storage, so pretty big, openning it as a text file would be really Hard ^^
[Asus Fonepad 7] Fuad.kh:
I am talking about 1 gb RAW image "ME372CG_all_WW_user_V5.1.6.raw"
[Asus Fonepad 7] Diwakar1990:
.raw

yes, i also opened the .raw file in text editor and it has exactly same text which is displayed while flashing.
[Asus Fonepad 7] hotvibes:
It should be possible to mount the raw file in Linux and extract individual files. Do we know what partition type it is?
[Asus Fonepad 7] eagleofdeath13:
It's a raw filesystem, so no partition type.
