Have you moved the update zip to the cache directory and renamed it to dlpkgfile?

The echo cammand only works, if you rename the zip file (and remove the extension), if you don't rename it, then you have to modify the command

With adb the whole procedure is:

adb shell #log into android shell
su #gain root
cp /sdcard/YOUR_UPDATE.zip /cache/dlpkgfile #copy update file and rename
echo '--update_package=/cache/dlpkgfile' >> /cache/recovery/command #add the recovery command
(if the above gives an error:)
mkdir /cache/recovery #create the recovery dir, if the above fails
echo '--update_package=/cache/dlpkgfile' >> /cache/recovery/command #rewrite the command
(/if end )
exit #exit from su
exit #exit from adb
adb reboot recovery #reboot to recovery

If you want to downgrade to 4.7.3 then you need to old recovery. The Android 4.3 recovery of the MeMO Pad FHD needs a new update binary, this binary isn't included in the update.zip of 4.7.3 (and all the other Android 4.2.2 zips)

(edit: you can also repack & resign the update zip. The only thing you have to do is to add the update-binary_4_3 to the /META-INF/com/google/android/ . Afterwards resign it with the test keys, everything else should be like above. I haven't test this, but it should work)

Edit2:

Flashing the recovery and/or fastboot image is risky, it's better to avoid it, if possible. Should always be a last resort.

If you need the us recovery.img, then you have to patch it. Copy the boot.img and recovery-from-boot.p from the desired version's update zip to your sd card. Open the install-recovery.sh file with a text editor on your PC (all files can be found within the update.zip)

adb into your device, navigate to the sd card directory, where you have placed the boot.img and recovery-from-boot.p files. Gain root and run the "applypatch", the first time without any arguments, it will output which arguments it needs. The boot.img is the input file, recovery-from-boot.p the patch file and use recovery.img as output file. You need also the sha1 check-sums and file sizes found in the install-recovery.sh file. I don't remember the right order for the arguments, you may need some tries until you get your recovery.img.

Thank you for answer.

I just put US_ME302C-V4.7.3-0-ota-user.zip to sdcard. Then using root explorer copy it to cache folder and rename to dlpkgfile without extension.

/cache/recovery was exist on my me302c

And then:

adb shell

su

echo '--update_package=/cache/dlpkgfile' >> /cache/recovery/command

exit

exit

and then reboot in recovery: adb reboot recovery

Thank you for help.

Today evening will try "repack & resign the update zip". I just need extract "\META-INF\com\google\android\update-binary_4_3" from "US_ME302C-V5.0.11-0-ota-user.zip" and put in US_ME302C-V4.7.3-0-ota-user.zip?
[Android General] perpe:
Yes, theoretical is should work, but I haven't test it.

I have added some notes to my above post, how you can get the us recovery.img, but I don't recommend this way as long as your device boots.
[Android General] Valera1978:
Thank you again, very interesting idea.

I'll check this. But before get recovery from us version. I will check on WW - download WW_4.7.3, get recovery from it and then binary compare with recovery473.img, what we already have for WW in this thread. It should be completely the same.
[Android General] perpe:
The ww 4.7.3 update doesn't have a recovery.img included. I have created the recovery473.img with the method above. ;)
[Android General] Valera1978:
perpe thank you.

Finally I have created us 4.7.3 recovery.img using applypatch and successfully back to 4.7.3

If need - I can put it. Or it can be simply created using command (only for 4.7.3):

applypatch boot.img recovery473.img 8c276820794b33f412baa7af583e55876e1d0012 10103808 bf0e9986b33901644bcd5be79a35bb2f806890fb:recovery-from-boot.p

[MENTION=4177701]perpe[/MENTION]

I installed busybox (stericson) from the play store. Can you please tell me the steps I should take to manually uninstall it?
[Android General] perpe:
[MENTION=5480701]fifthlake[/MENTION]

The stericson busybox installs the applets as symlinks, they are the only smylinks in the xbin directory. This means, you have to delete all of them, but not the files in that directory.

ADB into your device and gain su permissions

su #gain root
mount -o rw,remount /system #remount system rw
cd /system/xbin #go to the xbin directory
ls -l #list all files, gives a huge list
find . -maxdepth 1 -type l -delete #delete all symlinks
ls -l #list all files again, now there should be only 5 or 6 files
rm busybox #delete busybox

Should do it, but I don't know, if "find" works with the faulty busybox. If not, try "busybox find...". If this doesn't work, then you have to remove them one be one.

rm FILENAME #to delete a file

After "ls -l" look for the files that links to houdini or libhoudini and delete them. Don't touch the files that don't link to another file.

Your device needs the other files in that directory, be careful.

How to flash stock 5.0.11 firmware

I have me302c ww version.

The device update itself to version 5.0.11 yesterday (by wifi)

The Hebrew lang on the 5.0.11 has some bugs so I tried to flash 5.0.9 which was o.k.

I got softbrick as the device was stack on the ASUS logo,

so I fastboot erase system

and than fastboot flash system sys5011.gz

than tried to fastboot flash update WW_ME302C-V5.0.9-0-ota-user.zip

And after all this it says Build Number JSS15Q.WW_epad-V5.0.11-20140113, but I flashed 5.0.9 ?

How to flash

stock unrooted

5.0.9 (or 5.0.11) firmware.

[Android General] perpe:
No, Kernel and ramdisk (means boot.img, recovery.img and fastboot.img) are signed. This prevents flashing custom images for this partitions. (something like uefi secure boot)

Backup and Flash Questions

Hello everybody,

My apologies in advance if these two items have been previously discussed in this, the unofficial page for the MemoPad ME302C. I have a lot of catching up to do (from page #10 on) and will do so shortly. In the mean time:

1) What's the best way to backup this tablet -- beyond Titanium Backup that is? I believe some of you have already discussed backups, so I hope I'll find the answer in previous pages.

2) Has anybody been successful in running the d$#!m Flash player on a Web browser? I followed the "standard" procedure for sideloading Flash --which worked for me on my Nexus 7-- to no avail. Irony is, I need to run a recorded meeting via Adobe Connect Web because their app only supports live meetings. So, they cut support for Flash, but then require people to still use it... :p

Anyway, thanks so much again for all the amazing work you guys are doing with this tablet.
[Android General] enriquejones666:
Ever since 4.3JB, only 2 browsers support flash - Dolphin and FlashFox. Try either one of those (for flash in dolphin, you also need to install a separate app, called dolphin jetpack).
[Android General] JValdivi:
Thanks so much for your prompt response enriquejones666.

Based on your recommendations, I went back to the Play Store, read reviews, and looked around even more. I ended up installing Puffin Web Browser, and that did the trick for me; i.e. was able to played recorded Adobe Connect sessions.

I'll still do more testing, and may even try your suggested browsers. But I'm definitely most grateful for pointing me in the right direction. :)

Hey all!!!

I just bought this sweet tablet and rooted it on version 4.7.3

However how do i update to v5?

Tried OTA and it will not update itself. Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!!!
[Android General] gbkelley:
You are just fine at 4.7.3 (as am I)

No real need to update to 5.0.x with Android 4.3 as there are no benefits in the minor upgrade and some minor bugs.
[Android General] gbkelley:
You can backup contacts to SDcard using 'People' (Contacts) app itself then copy to Ext SD

ASUS App Backup will backup all downloaded Apps AND their DATA as well to External SD

My Backup Root does a fine job of backing up all Apps & Data, APMs, Contacts, Bookmarks, Phone History, etc. to Ext SD

Need some serious help

Ok, I really need some help. My wife tried to root her ME302C (WW) , and she used a 4.7.2 root file on her 5.0.11 with the old method in fastboot; so now when the tablet starts, it just stucks on the Asus logo screen and nothing else. Suggestions? tried to flash a stock 5.0.11 into it, but it failed.

Commands she ran

fastboot flash system system_4_7_2_root_orginal.img.gz

adb install Superuser.apk

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase system

fastboot flash system WW_ME302C-V5.0.11-0-ota-user.zip

So shall I downgrade the fastboot back to 4.7.3 and start from there. Also if I downgrade it back to 4.7.3, do I need to flash the 4.7.3 then flash the 5.0.11 or I can just flash 5.0.11 then root from there ?
[Android General] perpe:
[MENTION=5723236]maximushta[/MENTION] [MENTION=5738851]sainteye[/MENTION]

Both of you need to flash the prerooted system.img. A WW 5.0.11 version can be found at http://goo.gl/v6ETyE

Flash it with

fastboot flash system sys5011.gz

This will be enough, if you have the ww sku. If you have another sku, you have to reflash the update zip for your sku like described in this post. Follow the way for rooted devices.

Well the problem is a vertical green line that appeared in my screen and dont go off. I tried to use stuck pixel solutions and a factory reset (i didnt tried to update again in any way, because was too confusing to get fastboot working and im not sure that will resolve my problem).

The line is very perseptive on a pink background, but completely hide by a green background.

Is there anyway to flash image from Sd card using fastboot? ( Just got fastboot working but not adb)

If not, how do i move files from sd card to internal storage without adb?
[Android General] perpe:
[MENTION=4017634]Eqric[/MENTION]

You don't need adb. Repeat the rooting procedure. You can flash the root update zip with

fastboot flash update <name-of-the.zip>

The rest is like before, but don't forget to change the permissions of the build.prop, this was your mistake.
[Android General] Eqric:
Will fastboot flash update <name-of-the.zip> be able to access the zip file on my external sd card(which is located in the root directory)?

When i try it i get the message "error: cannot load 'WW_ME302C-V5.0.11-0-ota-user.zip': No error"
[Android General] musabhai:
thanx a lot... just works perfectly
[Android General] perpe:
No, this only solves the stucking at ASUS Logo after the root, if you forgot to set the build.prop permissions. The update zip should be on your PC not on the tablet.

If you did other things to your tablet, then this isn't the solution for your problem.

Does your tablet boot? Have you solved that problem? Without a booting tablet, you don't have access to the internal storage.

First of all, get your tablet booting. If you only forgot to set the build.prop permission, then it is enough to reflash the root update.zip with fastboot. If you did other things to you tablet, the you have to flash the prerooted system image, like described at the last page.
[Android General] Eqric:
I am really ****ed up then, the device doesn't boot(it get stuck at intel logo), i tried a few other thing which included a system format.

So i guess my only solution is to move the rom that i have downloaded from Asus from my external sd card to internal memory and install the rom.

But as you stated, i cant access the external sd card with fastboot.

Do you got any idea what the option "SD Download" in droidboot does? It sounds like it will download something from SD card to internal memory.
[Android General] perpe:
Why do you guys format system? This is completely useless!

Follow this post.

You can't flash the update zips from ASUS with fastboot, this is disabled by ASUS since 5.0.9 (ANdroid 4.3) and works only with a working device and an update version, which is higher then the installed version!
[Android General] Eqric:
There isn't any way to move the sys5011.gz to internal sd card from external sd card? Because i don't have debugging enabled so i can't use adb.

I put the sys5011.gz into root directory on external sd card and i get the message "error: cannot load 'sys5011.gz': No error"
[Android General] perpe:
No, this is completely wrong!

You don't need to put it on to the internal or external storage and you don't need adb, only fastboot. You need fastboot on your pc, Put the sys5011.gz image into the same folder, where your fastboot.exe is located and than flash it with

"fastboot flash system sys5011.gz"

Nothing else. If you don't have fastboot, downlaod and install it. There are a lot of fastboot tutorials out there.

Download the update zip for your device and sku from ASUS. Unpack it once, there should be a second zip, try to flash it with

fastboot update name-of-your.zip

if this doesn't wotk, then copy the update zip to an external sd card. Your sd card should be formated in far32. Place the card into the tablets sd card. Press Volume UP + Power to boot it into the bootloader, it should flash it automatically, if not look if yor bootloader has a menu entry "sd download..." select it with the volume keys and power.

if this doesn't work, search a thread or open one for tge asus me302kl .

root failed, need help

I finally go up the nerve to follow the instructions on page 20 and all was going well until the reboot at step 6. Now I'm stuck at the ASUS boot screen.

1. Start SuperSU. If you use the Pro, go into the settings and disable survival mode. I dont have pro and didnt disable here.

2. With a root file manager, mount the system partition with write permissions (rw) how do you mount the system and is 744 sufficient? or 777 for permissions here?

3. Replace the file /system/build.prop with the build.prop from the zip. no problem

4. Check the permissions for /system/build.prop after replacing it and make sure they are 0644 (-rw-r--r--). no problem

5. Go to the directory /cache/recovery and delete all the files there (so they will not be shipped to ASUS with an active WiFi) no problem

6. Unmount /system, Reboot...Done! big problem

Please help

edit: Okay apparently I'm not getting this, my ME302C is still dead? Please help me!

I'm using the same drivers that were previously installed and working. ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows_20130415

Windows recognizes the device when plugged in while at the boot screen but I cannot see the file system. My PC does not recognize the device while in the boot loader.

I tried installing a couple of the .zip from ASUS 4.7.3 and 5.0.11 using the boot loader SD DOWNLOAD option. They give every indication that they are updating but after reboot I'm still hung up on the ASUS boot screen.

Starts like this

Followed by this

Then fails to boot after volume down.

I've got 1.0.31 installed but fastboot doesn't to recognize my device. The tablet says waiting on command and the command window says waiting on device.

I've also tried FACTORY RESET from the boot loader but it's no good either.

Please tell me there is a way.

added: i reinstalled the intel drivers and was able to get fastboot talking like it should however I still cannot get pas tteh ASUS screen, now it just sits there, no spinning ball. i used fastboot "update_name.zip" which didnt work then I tried SD DOWNLOAD which seemed to work but didnt.
[Android General] perpe:
You can't flash the update zip from ASUS, if they aren't newer then the installed version.

Your frist mistake was, that you haven't set the right permissions for the build.prop. (depends on your file explorer, some show the rights of the old build.prop)

Try to reflash the root update zip with "fastboot flash update <name-of-the-zip>", than follow the the root guide again, if it boots.

If this doesn't work, then you can flash the prerooted system image. You can find one for the ww version in this thread (follow my posts) and also a short direction, how to reflash the us (or other sku), if your tablet isn't one with ww sku.
