Do you know ripatchomatic tool ?

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread....-overclock-vsync-fix-any-binary-rk3188-kernel!

I patch directly your kernel.img or zImage or boot.img. I work very well.

I modify the script to add more freq (312 -> 1800)

I've patched my boot.img and it work very well.

This tool create lot of combination of cpu/gpu/ddr boot.img at different freq.

(You must use table 6,7,8)

Score antutu 4:

cpu@1800 gpu@stock ddr@stock = 21392

cpu@1800 gpu@798 ddr@720 = 22104

freeze at cpu1800 gpu798 ddr800

Yes. I use this tool. I path fine all file, kernel.omg boot.omg e image. Now I use 1200 to 1800. I modification the script to make 318 to 1800.

thats it

Hi together,

after i was paranoid using chinese tools for rooting, i tried vroot 3 weeks ago.

Well, after not getting less paranoid with this tool, i setup a man in the middle accesspoint for my tablet to sniff the out/in traffic with wireshark.

i used my me102a for 2 weeks only at home in my own wlan for this purpose.

as much i can say for now, there is no suspicious traffic on my tablet in two weeks after rooting with vroot.

Of cause i wasnt crazy and installed vroot on my work machine, cause i never will trust vroot as windows application.

so what i did was:

1) Setting up a win7 virtual machine with virtualbox.

2) disabled all internet traffic for this machine.

3) rooted the me102a with the virtual machine

4) deleted the virtual machine

so, for recapitulation:

Dont trust the the vroot windows application itself, but the rooting procedure seems to be fine and seems not to have any further hazards.

I hope this information is usefull for someone.

PS:

Thanks for all the usefull informations in this thread. It took me 5 days to find a working adb driver to root the tablet. None was working. Well, i found one that now works for rooting, but tools like rkflashtool still cant find the tablet. So i have to live without the cwm based recovery after all. :( Maybe someone can give me a hint.

regards

The best root app is Kingo root.

Vroot work but is too chinese.

To enter in RK bootloader, i must use fastboot (google is your friend)

ADB/fastboot driver can be installed with this:

This was the point that didnt work.

Why should Kingo be better than Vroot? As far as is know Vroot and Kingo share pretty much of code. I would ask myself why Kingo is 3 times as big as Vroot for doing the same thing. But thats only my logic thinking as computer scientist.

ASUS protect there builds. All essential libraries, modules and config files are modified to point to rk101xx (Rockchip RK101 CPU doesn't exist, it's a RK3188).

Thanks to all

Thanks to all that have contributed to this thread. It was very informative reading and I believe I actually got the answer I needed. I purchased an me102a off ebay with a cracked digitizer & (here's been the killer for me) :crying: a pattern lock.. The touch function works fine and the price seemed right, after all I've bought numerous android phones off ebay and was always able to do a factory reset to clear passwords. I never dreamed Asus prevented a reset on a locked device, but after studying this thread I was able to come to the conclusion that it will require sending the tab to Asus to get the pattern removed.

IF...anyone knows a cheaper alternative I sure would love to hear from them here. But I'm not holding my breath.:(

system image restore after build.prop mod and wipe

Hi guys maybe one of you can help

I changed the resolution settings in build.prop with root access (it failed. stuck at boot screen).

Stupid me wiped the tablet and lost root access.

Is there any chance to restore the system partition in order to fix build.prop.

I can access the factory android recovery mode and fast boot.

Is there anything I can do to restore or edit the build.prop, or restore a system.img.

Could I try to flash a cwm recovery and try to update the system that way?

bootloader unlock, cwm root, unbrick

Ok guys I fixed it myself.

Here is what I did, I unlocked the boot loader with fast-boot.

Then I flashed with fast-boot command the cwm recovery into recovery partition to allow root access.

That could be it, but by accident I wiped my system partition so I had to push the system files from the me102 demo rom into the system partition with adb. The OTA update was not working so I decided to re-flash the original recovery and update.

The only problem that I now have it that Vroot and King refuse to root my device, so I now have no root at all, but the tablet is alive again.

What a day :)

Hope there will be some nice roms out there because I think everything is set, I could not see any restrictions that I would fail.

Asus also published kernel drivers

trusted method for rooting Asus me102a

My first post on xda. I'm a recently converted ios power user (of many years) . I'm looking to root and flash my Asus me102a and i can't seem to find a trusted tool to do this. The previous posts on this thread all mention Vroot and Kingo that are both deemed suspecious and not trust worthy. I wouldn't want to risk installing malware for obvious reasons. Is there an open source tool/s (where the code is freely availble for peer review) to root this device? I don't mind a long tedious procedure as long as it's safe and tested. Thanks!

No more ROM on ME102A and unable to revert to stock

Hi,

I´m hoping someone is reading this and is willing to help me out.

I recently bought the ME102A and succesfully rooted it with Kingo. Yesterday I used the info from androtab.info to install the CWM recovery, which worked great! I then accidently wiped the ASUS ROM from the tablet, trying to install a custom ROM. I should have read better, seeing as there are no custom ROM´s yet for the ME102A. I the tried almost every option I can think of, trying to get the original firmware back on the tablet but to no avail. I've read countless of threads and sites, but have yet to find the solution for me.

I´m currently back to stock recovery, unable to use the tablet. I can only boot into Android system recovery. I tried to install the custom CWM image found in this thread, as well as the stock image found on adrotab.info. I´ve seen almonst every error mentioned on this site and on others, like the "assert failed" and the "<waiting for device>" as well as "Installation aborted"...

I'm at a loss and am hoping some of you good folks can help me bring the life back to my tablet. It's not my first time flashing ROM's so I understand some of the basics (although reading apparently isn't my strongest point...) and can work a little with ADB and FastBoot etc. I have however no understanding of RKAndroidTool and the likes. But I am willing to try almost everything at this point...

I have only rooted mine and nothing else.

This tablet has a locked bootloader and no factory images available so I don't think it is safe to do much more than rooting.

In your case i would say that the only option is to get CWM recovery in and then flash the "stock" rom someone built from the demo available at asus website.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dana_p:
Thank you! I'll give it a try!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qaatloz:
It's a result of the way OTA updates work. They are a "delta"s from the existing files. so only the changes at bit-level are included in the zip. If you do not have the original file from the previous update in place the (hash) check will fail and the update will abort.

Here you have 2 choices. Either you choose to keep the bloatware removed and adapt the script in the zip to not check and not update the removed *.apk or *.odex. But this requires you to run CWM recovery because the stock android recovery will probably check if your zip is signed (unaltered) and if this is not the case it will fail.

The other choice is to use the full rom zip from ASUS posted here but this will set you back a bit of updates. After that no checks of OTA should fail and you are able to update back to the newest version.

I myself have now this habit using CWM recovery: When i see a update available i use wireshark on my wifi to intercept the url to the delta zip. For the last update the url is this: http://fota.asus.com/delta_package/eee-pad/WW_epad/formal/WW_user_4.2.2_3.11.0.91_20131209-user-WW_epad-WW_user_4.2.2_3.11.0.97_20140514-user-WW_epad-20140514/update.zip

For a older rom you might have a different url because it defines the current rom and the new rom; and based on that the server will give you a delta package to update from your current rom to the new rom. After I download the zip I basically adjust the script in \META-INF\com\google\android so that it will not check on recovery and i also remove the lines used for installation of the recovery. Also in the last rom (from the link above) i had to remove the clear_misc_command() in one of the last lines because it is apparently a custom function from ASUS which is not supported by CWM. In that way I am able to stay up to date with ASUS roms while using CWM and custom build.prop and removing some of the "bloatware".

In that way you can also adjust the script to not update and check for the apps you removed from your /system/app directory ;)

My post might have gotten a bit unclear, so if you have questions, do ask them ;)

-----

extra comment on this: if you only copy the system/app or other directories from the full rom zip you still might get failed OTA updates because also some files (recovery for example) are checked against hashes. At a certain point you might end up with a recovery from 3.11.0.91 while you have system apps from 3.9.0.82. There is no delta package to solve such differences :silly:. So using the advise of murigny you might not solve the problem and you will still be forced to do a full rom instal using the zip file in the recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murigny64:
Thanks Qaatloz. Your explanation is very clear. I don't think about this point because a never do this.

But, how can you apply patch with a CWM script ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qaatloz:
You use the zip obtained from ASUS. The directories systems in recovery install zips (custom Roms and official ota zip) is quite similar and in the previous mentioned folder you always find the files update binary and update script. Update script is a text file in which the commands for the update are defined. You can easily alter this file, but as said, the stock recovery will probably not accept altered update.zip files. That is where cwm comes in because in cwm recovery you can disable the signature check (on the zip file) and in that way you can used altered zip-files.

P.s. think about what each command does before adding or removing it from script. Incomplete or wrong scripts might damage your device. *duh*
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murigny64:
Yes, i know how to adapt a "cwm compatible" update-script.

But does CWM update-binary accept "apply_patch" command ? Same syntax as in stock recovery ?

I may try but not sure.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qaatloz:
Yup, if you want i can send you the original and 'my' script so you can see the differences.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murigny64:
Ok, by MP thanks ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dana_p:
Yes, this failed to update.

Since I really don't understand CWM and scripts on this tablet, how can I install the entire 3.9.0.82 and do the updates? I hate to go back and do it this way, but I have no desire to make my tablet a paperweight! I've done well with my S3, but I'm not sure about this one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qaatloz:
Well if you have the stock recovery I would install the zip from this ASUS site. It is a full rom which means you after install you will have a fully functional rom (while being a bit outdated ;) ). After that if you run the updater (from settings) and you will probably get an update notification and you will be able to update to the latest version. Rooting can be done with the Kingo Root method. After rooting i advise to use SystemCleanup to freeze the apps you want to be invisible and more importantly not runned. It removes the execute parameter from the apk's you select to prevent them from running while it enables you to use the OTA updater without any problem because the files remain on the device.

Goodluck :good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dana_p:
Yes, I have the stock recovery. I downloaded the rom from the ASUS site. It's a zip file. Now, my question is this: how do I install the zip file. Do I follow the directions given in the PDF named "image content update...."? That triggers the demo map. Or is there another way to install it?

I did root it before using Kingo and it worked great. After I get all the updates, I'll use the same method. Hopefully, after that, I'll be able to do more reading about installing CWM and scripts! Ha ha!

Thanks for the heads up about SystemCleanup! Thanks for all your help!
