I try the CWM also, with using the power / Vol + keys together. I direct to CWM menu without any choice. My version is asus-kool-tw_user_3.1.0.42

I see the youtube that others boot to recovery menu is different to me. While it is starting, 3 scroll menu such normal boot, fastboot etc is shown. It is dfferent to me also.

APP2SD is not success on HD8 and give up already. Unless you format your SD card for the ext2 partition and not stable as stated in other discussion thread. Now I run the program with using the RAM size in 5xx something and it is fine to me right now.

Tks for your help and look the OTA updated to 4.3 in soon. I don't think HD8 is good for 4.4 with only 1G RAM config.
[General Questions and Answers] OfficerJimLahey:
Yeah, I use the WW version.

The thing about the YouTube videos is that I could only find them for the 7" models. Not really an apprporiate comparison.

I use Link2SD on my phone, has been very stable. I wouldn't put a launcher or well used app on SD, but it helps out. You will need to partition your SD card for a ext2 partition (after the normal data partition). Can do all this with gparted on a live linux cd.

I didn't think this tablet was going past 4.2.2. Could you send a link of the upgrade schedule? As long as they don't break USB OTG, I am okay with any version (with forewarning). As for RAM, KitKat is supposed to be a little easier on it.
[General Questions and Answers] pnin:
I'm keenly interested in an updated ROM, too. It's a pity to watch such a fine product go to waste for lack of manufacturer support...
[General Questions and Answers] OfficerJimLahey:
Well, I am quite fine with a stock 4.2.2 (for now). 4.3.1 may be worthwhile. I hear Kitkat wrecks USB OTG support, and if we had Lollipop, it would mean we could no longer use XPosed add-ons (due to the conflict with ART).

Custom ROM on the other hand (like CyanogenMod, or Carbon) I could go with newer no problem.

Asus MeMo Pad 8 ME181CX

I just bought my Asus MeMo Pad 8 ME181CX (k011) tablet and I can't find a root method anywhere! PLEASE someone help me out, I seriously have tried everything !:crying: (and yes it's a ME181CX, I haven't typed it wrong)
[General Questions and Answers] OfficerJimLahey:
This didn't work? Weird. It was for the K011's as well. Are you sporting a newer Android (than 4.4.2)?
[General Questions and Answers] tasky_yo:
Nope. It set my tablet on demo mode and I had to perform factory reset. And yes I'm running 4.4.2.
[General Questions and Answers] pnin:
So sorry, only now did I see your question and, as I don't have the device with me, haven't had a chance to test which recovery I really have now -- talk to you later... :confused:

EDIT: just retried to get into recovery and every thing looks normal in my device, I get modified CWM 6.0.4.7 as expected. :)

Are you sure you followed those Androidinfo instructions correctly? Or you might want to try the Quick Boot app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot) to get into recovery -- at least, that's what I use...

BTW, I'm now running Nova Launcher as default launcher and the overall device sluggishness has visibly improved. :)
[General Questions and Answers] fishonatree:
please help

Yes I have the same problem as you. And my tablet is also ME181CX.

Can anyone help?

By the way, my tablet has so much problems with the battery drain, sometimes it's the Android OS, Android System, Google Service, Google Play Store... When I open the battery usage and click to the app, it showed that they "Keep awake" all the time that I set the tab in stand by mode. They take turn to drain the battery every time I restart or even reset factory the tablet. I tried all the ways I found on Google but they just don't work at all. And one more thing, the problem seems to be not going to appear when I turn on the tablet, it's just when I put it in stand by mode.

Do you guys know how to fix it?

Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] pnin:
I'm sorry, mate, I don't have that same device, so there is little I can really contribute.

First of all, you might have a defective device and, if it is still under warranty, you could be able to RMA.

If not and in case you haven't tried them yet, you could give Greenify or Wakelock Detector a go.

Voiding that, the only other way would be to root your device and restrain/remove/update the culprit apps -- but a lot of people appear to not being lucky with rooting on recent devices... :(

Crashy

Hey everyone,

I got one of these tablets (ME181C-A1-BK) for my wife, and she's complaining that after a few hours of use, the apps start getting crashy. Has anyone else seen this? Any pointers on resolving it?

Things I have tried:

Reformatted the cache partition

Checked for firmware updates, and applied them.

Thanks!

Would very much appreciate if you could detail how you did this -- and I bet I'm not alone... :)
[General Questions and Answers] OfficerJimLahey:
I wouldn't try with yours [MENTION=2887178]pnin[/MENTION], due to conflicting firmwares (ME180A vs. ME181C).

Unfortunately for us, the only versions available for our tablets are CN and JP locales. No WW.
[General Questions and Answers] wified:
Here's how to find firmware

Go to this site:

http://www.asus.com/us/Tablets_Mobile/Memo_Pad_Products/

Select your Memo Pad, then Support, then Drivers, Firmware. As noted, only download the version that applies to your specific Memo Pad.
[General Questions and Answers] OfficerJimLahey:
Yeah, been there a few times for the ME180A:

http://www.asus.com/us/Tablets_Mobile/ASUS_MeMO_Pad_HD_8_ME180A/HelpDesk_Download/

The only firmware available for this tablet is the JP and CN versions, not WW (as noted before). :(
[General Questions and Answers] SONiX-GERMANY:
I've got this crappy, laggy tablet too. Rooted, freezed all Asus apps, installed Supercharger V6 and there was no speedup. Changed governor to "interactive" and tried to optimize everything possible, i'm really not a newbie. I get about 24000 points in Antutu, but the ingame performance is so terrible, it's crazy. This thing has a quad 1,6 GHz and i really don't know why the hell it's sooo laggy.

Anyways, this seems to be the correct link to the latest stock FW.

READ the .pdf, it's important.

www.asus.com/microsite/demo/MeMO_Pad8.htm
[General Questions and Answers] OfficerJimLahey:
I wouldn't call it latest, as the link I posted earlier has v3.x, whereas these ones are v2.x. What gets me (and I read the PDF a while ago), is that the guide assumes that you have a fully up-and-running device to run the firmware. Not sure if that is the case for both sites, I have a sneaking suspicion that the one I linked to earlier has a way in fastboot. I just don't know how. There has got to be an emergency flash back to stock, right?

If not, then noone will risk developing ROMs (as a soft-brick would be as good as a hard brick) for this device.

There is no ROM development (that I know of), probably due to that the only back-to-stock option assumes a working ROM.

I have tried all the different rooting applications suggested, Kingoapp, RootZenFone, nothing works to root my tablet. My build number is BBY-3.0.23.150.
