[MENTION=2047373]Valera1978[/MENTION], your patch didn't include this update to 5.0.19 did it? I had tried everything short of a factory reset to install the update, both OTA and sideloaded. Nothing would install the update. I finally decided (sort of last resort) to install your 5.0.20 patch and it actually installed. My Build number reports: JSS15Q.US_epad-V5.0.19-xxxxxxxx and it stopped hounding me to update. I suspect it's just a bandaid though unless the update was included.
[Android General] tdamocles:
Did you get it rooted? How did you get the .20 patch to install? I'm on .19 without root.
[Android General] Ramer:
That's what's "funny" about it. I never lost root. I simply copied the .20 ota file to internal SD, it recognized it as an update. It installed, rebooted and I'm on .19 without losing root, although I don't think it really updated. I don't even know what this update was for, it definitely isn't 4.4.
[Android General] tdamocles:
I must have had a bad download. Re-downloaded and tried again and it worked!

the way to unroot?

because in case of damage is a good idea return to stock
[Android General] Valera1978:
I write manual for update/restore and root me302c to any firmware:

1. Update/restore:

Can be problems with ota-updates or update via "internal storage" in case, if you custom system frameworks, install tweaks in xposed framework. Be carefull with it.

1.1. If you have problems with ota update - first of all - try put latest firmware like US_ME302C-V5_0_19-0-ota-user.zip to "internal storage", unplug usb cable. Me302c will offer apply new update. If nothing - try reboot - after reboot it should offer.

1.2. This part (1.2-1.2.8) ONLY IF YOU 100% SURE, this is not FOR FUN. You can change region (US to WW for example), downgrade, reinstall firmware. (Early we flash recovery and fastboot - but this is dangerous, use it in case, if you on 100% sure and known, what you do). Much safety way - use service raw firmware and flash it from droidboot via "sd download" menu.

1.2.1. Download service firmware: https://cloud.mail.ru/public/db1749885080/Asus%20ME302C/Firmwares/_Alternative/ME302C_TW_patch.raw and check md5 sum just in case: 58ad4a845e71d242b95c02a6c793fe1e

1.2.2. We need microsd card - format in fat/fat32 and copy ME302C_TW_patch.raw

1.2.3. Go to droidboot: power-off, insert mircosd card, then press and hold volumeUP + power buttons - appear green android - release buttons.

1.2.4. Using volume buttons - select "sd download" and press power button.

1.2.5. After flash it can stack to asus logo - power-off, then go again in droidboot and make "Factory Reset"

1.2.6. Install intel driver (USB_IntelDriver_v1.2.0.zip) and unzip Fastboot.zip

1.2.7. Plug me302c to computer in droidboot mode - in first time windows should find drivers.

1.2.8. Check fastboot - run command: "fastboot devices" - you will see you device with serial number (on new firmwares you will see serial 111111111111)

1.2.7. Download firmware - for example US_ME302C-V5_0_19-0-ota-user.zip and run command: "fastboot flash update US_ME302C-V5_0_19-0-ota-user.zip"

1.2.8. After several minutes me302c will reboot and you will get clean firmware (of course after flash new firmware you can go again in droidboot and make "factory reset" again or run "fastboot erase cache" and "fastboot erase userdata")

2. Root:

Update like US_ME302C-V5.0.20-0-ota-user.zip - this is dummy update - it needed only for grand rights for SuperSU. But It should has name, like real update, with high version number - only in this case me302c will accept it. It should be installed ONLY after corresponded update. Before root always check system build version first (in settings/about). I.e. US_ME302C-V5.0.20-0-ota-user.zip run cab installed only after update to US_ME302C-V5.0.19-0-ota-user.zip, US_ME302C-V5.0.17-0-ota-user.zip only can be installed after full US_ME302C-V5.0.16-0-ota-user.zip update and etc.

2.1. Install SuperSU

2.2. Check system build version and download corresponded root update

2.3. Copy root update to "internal storage", unplug usb cable, if no offer - reboot. If no offer after reboot - you make something wrong.

Hope this summary will help.

Downgrade firmware ?

HI Valera1978

Can I use your update/restore step to downgrade firmware eg. from 5.0.11 back to 4.7.7 at all? I have firmware 4.5.7 at the moment and I cannot find any stock firmware for it, is there anyway that I can backup the current firmware so that I can go back later? My device is not rooted yet though. Thank you very much.
[Android General] Valera1978:
Yes, you can downgrade to 4.7.7.

You can find all stock firmwares:http://www.asus.com/Tablets_Mobile/ASUS_MeMO_Pad_FHD_10/HelpDesk_Download/. When you will download firmware - download firmware for correct SKU - here links for all SKU (WW, US, CN, TW, JP).

If you want downgrade to 4.7.7 - you have WW?
[Android General] coolnezz:
Finally had the time (and ballz) to do this.

Followed the above instructions. Success!

Got root now! Thank you!

:good: :laugh:
[Android General] tvxda:
Thank you for your reply. Yes I have WW SKU.

My device is recognized when it is in normal mode but not in download mode. I'm not sure why. I have to search and find out how to resolve this. I'm using windows 7.
[Android General] twomoe:
Cannot flash fastboot 4.7.3

Hi guys,

Several months ago I bought this tablet, then I followed the post to root this device and it worked.

After rooting, I deleted some apps in /system/app which I don't use, and I changed the /etc/fallback_fonts.xml to enable the independent bold font of Chinese font.

Then everything goes well.

Until recently I received a message of update. I chose to update the firmware.

But the automatic update failed.

After that I rebooted to droidboot (switch + volume up), using fastboot to update.

First I need to downgrade to fastboot 4.7.3, and the file was successfully sent to the tablet.

Then the tablet reboot to install the update, but failed.

Finally the tablet reboot again to the normal interface and it says "System update failed, the system recovery to the original version".

So what should I do to update my tablet? Thanks everyone!

P.S. Forgive me for my poor English...
[Android General] Valera1978:
Sorry for delay with answer: for WW exist service firmwares (in service centers flash firmware use "sd download" in droidboot).

You have 2 versions:

WW 5.0.11 - https://cloud.mail.ru/public/db1749885080/Asus%20ME302C/Firmwares/_Original/WW_ME302C_V5.0.11.raw md5: FE2EBE52B20657C6A139714A68FAF82D

WW 5.0.16 - https://cloud.mail.ru/public/db1749885080/Asus%20ME302C/Firmwares/_Original/WW_ME302C_V5.0.16.raw md5: c4fa794782358768877abc36a67aadb2

- Download it, copy in root of clean microsd card, insert card in me302c.

- Power-off me302c.

- Then press and hold 2 buttons: Vol+ and Power. When you will see android in yellow helmet - release both buttons.

- Using Vol+ and Vol- select "SD Download" item and press Power.

This way using in service centers. If you get errors - change microsd. Better use small - 1,2,4 gb cards with fat\fat32.

---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

Just downgrade fastboot not enough. Need also downgrade recovery. But this is not safety. What SKU on your pad? WW or US?

For WW you can use http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53069552&postcount=446

For US we dont have raw firmware - you can use same way to flash service firmware ME302C_TW_patch.raw from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52978694&postcount=440 and then use fastboot flash update - flash any firmware.

Once you have rooted the device you only can go back by downgrading with stock ROM.

Hello, i tried to root my Asus Memopad ME302C with the instructions found here, it said it is OK, but after reboot it only shows the "in search for incredible" logo and doesn't work anymore.

So i need some help. I flashed the exact image from the first post, than tried to flash the original ota image from Asus Site, but it gives error:

E:zlib memory/data/corruption error failed:file exists

FLASH FAILED.

So what may i do now to repair the tablet?

I mention that, at the second flash after failed root, i used the image WW_epad_5.0.16, as these was the pre-existing image before root, but i remember that since purchasing the tablet, i have made an update, so this wans't the original firmware version.

So what went wrong, and is there a solution?

Thank you very much!

Oh, and when i start the Droidboot menu, it appears the following error:

E:Unable to open debricking

Fastboot init etc.
[Android General] Jepediah:
So you tried to flash the US-version on a WW-worldwide device?

You have to downgrade recovery and fastboot to V.4.7.3 to unbrick.

Gesendet von meinem ME302C mit Tapatalk
[Android General] dreamermerlin:
Thank you very much.

Any link with detailed procedure to do that?

As i see messing with recovering and fastboot could make things even worse, resulting into a "hardbrick"?
[Android General] dreamermerlin:
So i'm confused at all.

On the Asus site(hm i'm not allowed to post links), but on their official page with firmware updates, i don't see ANY WW_4.7.3 version.

For 4.7.3 they have all the other "SKU's"(US,JP,CN, etc), but NO WW!

For WW they only have 4.7.7(strange file, because the size is only 400 MB and all other are 700-800 MB) and above version, 5.0.x .

I am sure mine is WW, so what should i choose? 4.7.7 maybe??

Is there also a recovery and fastboot 4.7.7?

Thank you very much.
[Android General] Jepediah:
Ok, first off all the Asus MemoPad is not very famous, especially here on XDA you don't find much information about it.

If you be able to read and understand german you could have a look here http://www.android-hilfe.de/showthread.php?t=528918

Point 5 of the instruction describes the way to get out of the unbrick failure issue. If you have problems to follow this instructions don't do anything and ask here first what to do because like you said there is a risk to hardbrick the device by flashing recovery and fastboot but as far as i know it would be the only way to rescue your tab.

Gesendet von meinem ME302C mit Tapatalk
[Android General] dreamermerlin:
Ok, but unfortunately i don't understand german.

In the meantime i took a risk and flashed the fastboot 4.7.3.zip and now i noticed that the WW changed to US.

So, can some people here tell me what may i do know to get the tablet functional?

More precisely, what is the "recovery" image i must use and then what is the system image i must flash??

thank you very much!
[Android General] Jepediah:
download ASUS MEMo Pad FHD 10 Firmware: V5.0.17 Only for WW SKU from Asus, place the ROM zip-file in fastboot folder on PC

download this recovery473.zip and this fastboot473.zip.

Unzip

the files and place the .img files in fastboot folder on your PC.

Connect your device in "Droidboot" modus (Power&VolumeUp) to PC.

check connection with: fastboot devices

flash recovery:

fastboot flash recovery recovery473.img

now choose on the tablet "Reboot droidboot" and wait for restarting bootloader

flash fastboot:

again choose "Reboot droidboot" on Tablet and wait for restart

now type in fastboot:

that frase for all image that i try to flash. Also the image of fastboot for to do the downgrade.

I had read all the post in the page 21, and the first step is downgrade the fastboot but I can not.

Someone can help me? :)

[Android General] fre78:
wi-fi speed dropping down (but not zero) in sleep mode

Hi,

My question isn't about rooting or flashing roms, but concerns the wi-fi function on the ME302C.

So, sorry to be a little off topic, but it's the only forum that I found where I can speak in english...

I'm running the latest firmware (WW SKU - v5.0.17) unrooted.

When I'm transferring files over my LAN to my Memo Pad, transferspeed is normal (up to 5 MB/sec).

When my tablet goes into sleep mode, transferspeed is dropping down to a very slow 0,3 MB/sec.

In the settings > power management > power saver >>> I make sure that I select the option "keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" and set it to always.

In other words, smart saving is turned off.

When the tablet sleeps, transferspeed always drops down significantly (yes, there is a little wi-fi activity, but not as much as when the screen is on).

So, I just wanted to ask here to other owners of the ME302C if they experience the same behaviour and if they found a way to maintain the same transferspeed in sleepmode as in non-sleepmode.
[Android General] andyrol22:
Hi Jepediah

Yes ther's connectivity between pc and tablet and when i do in the adb: fastboot devices appears this message:

[Android General] Exnor:
Anyone tried Geohot solution and was successful ?

I've tried all possible combinations and no luck :/
[Android General] Jepediah:
So your PC and drivers looks ok. Let´s first get a try with only the last step of my post for updating system.

Don´t flash the recovery and fastboot files, could end in a mess.

If that does not work try pushing the Asus File on the SD Memory by ADB

adb push WW_ME302C_V5_0_17.zip /sdcard/WW_ME302C_V5_0_17.zip

If you can manage copying the file on the internal Memory you could use the SD INSTALLATION function in Doidboot menu on the Tablet.

I can confirm that, but had no time to look why this happens. My solution so far is keeping the display alive when transfering big files.

should I upgrade?

Hi, I've got Asus Memopad FHD 10 4.7.3 WW root, and I'm wondering, form a performance POV, is it worth the upgrade to 4.3 (5.0.xx)? I've googled some, but mostly from what I saw, the performance with 4.3 was slightly worse, but since this is a x86 tablet, I just don't know.

So, is it worth the hassle and how great is the difference in performance, if there even is any?

Thanks in advance.

5.0.21 US

Hi all,

I have an US 5.0.21 build. On the German site, i was able to find the WW 5.0.21 build. Can i use that for rooting my US version or is there any other link for the US 5.0.21.

Once i have downloaded the 5.0.21 zip file (from wherever it is), is it just following the below instructions (source - Intrepid post 377) but for the 5.0.21 instead of 5.0.16 or is there something else. I am a total rookie at this.

-------------------------

For those of you who are not rooted the easiest method is to accept the OTA update to 5016. (Alternatively, place US_ME302C-V5.0.16-0-ota-user.zip in the internal Storage via Windows Explorer. Make sure it has the exact file name US_ME302C-V5.0.16-0-ota-user.zip. Disconnect USB and then it will detect the update (a yellow triangle). Apply the update and it will reboot the tablet). Then copy 5017 root update US_ME302C-V5.0.17-0-ota-user.zip in the internal Storage via Windows Explorer. Disconnect USB and then it will detect the update (a yellow triangle). Apply the update and it will reboot the tablet. You will then be root. Make sure you install SuperSU by Chainfire from Play Store. For BusyBox use BusyBox X by Robert Nediyakalaparambil as it is x86 compatible.

Can you tell me what firmware version you were on when you went to root? Can you boot into recovery?
[Android General] fre78:
Which SKU do you have? Can you boot in droidboot (vol-up + power)? If yes, then:

=> if SKU = WW, try to install a RAW file you can find on android-hilfe.de: look for thread

" [Anleitung]Root, Unroot, Up-/Downgrade, Unbrick ASUS MeMO Pad FHD 10 (ab Android 4.3) " by Pepe.

Go to post 1, point 1.1.

There you can download a RAW-file, put it on an external SD (on the root folder) and go to droidboot on your device (vol up + power)

There you choose SD download. Your tablet should be fixed after this.

=> if SKU = US, try to go to the old recovery and fastboot environment: (as described in point 5 (unbrick ..) in the same post I mentioned here above). you can download recovery473.img and fastboot.img in this same post:

- fastboot flash recovery recovery473.img

- reboot droidboot

- fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img

- reboot droidboot

- fastboot -w

- fastboot erase system

- fastboot flash update <zip-file US SKU you can download on asus support site>

It should reboot to recovery to apply the update, after which it should boot to a fresh system.

I cannot paste links, sorry for that.

Hope you'll be able to restore your device.

Not having droidboot is indeed very uncomfortable. You remember what your brother did exactly before not getting access to droidboot?

There is a large support-community on a German forum: android-hilfe.de (thread "HOWTO Root für das Memo Pad 10 FHD" by Switchgott).

Maybe you can ask there for assistance.

They don't like English on their forum (I can speak from my own experience: they deleted my posts). So with Google Translate maybe you get an answer...

I wish I knew, he said he tried flashing it once and it never booted... I knew better than let him try but I thought he could not do more damage... I was wrong...
