I just got mine today, it's still doing the initial charge. I can't wait to see where development goes with this thing. These things just came out and without a Tehran processor it might take a little bit for custom roms to come out but I'm confident they eventually will.

You can try reinstall the drivers

and you have to take these steps exactly .

the tablet must be on with usb debugging activated.

then use the command prompt C:\

put adb.exe and fastboot.exe AdbWinApi.dll AdbWinUsbApi.dll on the C:\ drive and then:

C:\adb reboot bootloader (enter) the tablet will boot in pre bootloader

then

C:\fastboot reboot-bootloader (enter) now the tablet boots into the real bootloader en the RKTool should say "found Rockchip device

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koonce:
I have tried this method multiple times with the minimal adb and fastboot program found here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

I can get into recovery and everything but when i try to install cwm i get the message "cant find /dev/block/platform/emmc/by-name/recovery"

Is there a different directory for this me102a? Am i doing something else wrong?

I was able to root. I have all the drivers installed. I have the cwm-recovery.img on the sd card. I have not bricked anything.

Anyone whose had success with this method from http://androtab.info/clockworkmod/memopad/ have any idea as to what could be wrong?

I read through every message on the thread and tried by best to follow everything you guys were talking about. (admittedly I do not understand all of the very technical talk) but I have used adb quite a bit before and have unbricked devices and fixed every other device I have owned prior to this me102a.

My ultimate goal would be to get to android 4.4 or CM. The WatchESPN app (and some other video players) just will not work on the stock 4.2 software.

I also cannot get the latest firmware from http://www.asus.com/Tablets_Mobile/ASUS_MeMO_Pad_10_ME102A/HelpDesk_Download/ to install. I have the right version and can get into recovery but when i go to flash the zip it gets to "Validating install" and then fails. Over and over again I have tried.

Anyone have luck getting the new firmware installed on via stock recovery? Or flashing cwm via the adb instructions?

Many thanks for all the time you all have spent on this thread. Lets not give up on this tablet yet!

Update #5: Tried using the instructions in http://forums.androidcentral.com/optimus-v-rooting-roms-hacks/182438-solved-assert-failed.html to modify the updater-script and remove the build date line but no matter what program I use to try and modify the file(am not unziping the file) it the rom aborts installation about 40% through. I cannot find any other roms. The 3.11 from the Asus website aborts installation immediately.

I can connect to adb to sideload but not to run the bootloader commands to try RockChip again. I think if I could get CWM back I could get it running but I cannot figure out how

I am officially out of ideas for how to fix the me102a :(

Update #4: Rockchip bricks the device everytime and now I am getting the build date prop error. No idea how to get around this one...

Edit #3: Figured out how to update that file and it is back alive!!!! I am still stuck on an old version now. Thinking about trying the rockchip again, am i just a glutton for punishment?

I found an old stock rom that I can get further with but I run into the issue posted below. How can i modify the updater-script??

Same problem as before the rockchip program bricked the tablet. No matter what rom I try to flash it gets to "installing update" and then quickly flips to "installation aborted".

Tried a few different versions of the stock rom, have tried clicking every option I see. Is there anything I can do to resolve this error? It was like this when it was stock rooted too.

I would not mess with it. Despite the exuding confidence and ego from these guys -> It is not guaranteed to work even if you do everything perfectly. It bricked my tablet good.

So, does anyone have an idea as to how to recover the tablet if the factory ROM keeps aborting install around 40% complete? I am willing to keep working on troubleshooting this thing if anyone wants to do some brainstorming?

when you start the the tablet in bootloader mode, windows will do this for you if you have a internet connection.

Bootloader mode:

put the tablet on ( with usb debugging on)

C:\fastboot reboot-bootloader (wait until it reboots in bootloader modus)

now windows will install the rockchip drivers.

Hi,

I was able to install the Rockchip driver following your instructions above, but I'm having a hard time with the other steps using RKAndroidTool - [ edit 1: I think I figured this part out ]

When you say "root map of the RKtool map", do you mean the root folder of the RKtool folder ? Also, there's one parameter file in the RKtool folder, another one inside the rom folder ( again inside RKtool folder) and another one inside Asus firmware folder, which one goes to the RKAndroidTool ? And the RK3188Loader_uboot .BIN file is already inside RKtool's folder, does it change anything ?

And finally do I have to use "EraseIDB" before flashing the firmware ? I saw it recommended somewhere else.

Thanks.

EDIT 2: Success!

I was finally able to restore my Asus me102a to the factory settings and removed root as well, the update went fine too. Now I'll root it again and play with it.

As far as the files are concerned - I copied the Asus firmware files to the rom folder inside the RKtool folder as posted by PeJeWe. I used the RK3188Loader_uboot .BIN file found in the same RKtool folder ( no change here ), and the parameter file in the Asus firmware is the same as the one inside RKtool folder, so no change there as well. All went smooth, my tab is running the latest Asus update, all stock factory settings!

Now I'm about to root it again, does anyone know how safe are KingoRoot or Vroot? I remember some time ago people had some security concerns.

Thanks again.
