Some more details on my K00E. I am on Android 4.3 Build Number JSS15Q.WW_epad_V5.2.5. It was rooted by method described in Post 1. I have only one app - Llama which needs root access. I did disable some applications in Settings > Applications, but did not delete any.

After the update failed, I removed the Llama app which needs root access, disabled SU in SuperSU > Settings, and also re-enabled all the disabled apps. The update still fails in the same way. Please help!

[Asus Fonepad 7] hotvibes:
Ha! Finally, I am back to 4.4.2. I used the ROM from above thread. Faced some issues downloading the full 3.2.4 raw file. So downloaded the part zip files which went ok. 7zip did not recognize the zip archive, but worked with windows explorer. Updated the raw file from sdcard, pretty easy.

After updating the ROM, newer versions were downloaded automatically, no issues there. Only while on 5.1.6 it once said no new updates found, but then started downloading the update file automatically. It went from 3.2.4 -> 5.1.6 -> 5.2.5 -> 6.3.6.

I am now basking in the 4.4.2 goodness :)

After a little investigation it appears that GPS itself is not working, location is being found by WiFi and radio masts.

Set GPS to only GPS and no matter how long left on it would not update location.

Is the only fix for this a factory reset?
[Asus Fonepad 7] EvilDragonEX:
go to playstore and download GPS status... what you want to do....is look at the Fix/Sats. count... if its 0/0 means the gps is not working... make sure your fonepad is not in airplane mode

just put your fonepad there for at least 5 mins... the screenshot below is my moto x not fonepad

Hello Mehrdad, just one question, how did you put the audio wizard shortcut in the sliding zen ui interface ?

Thank you
[Asus Fonepad 7] kuhno:
Looks like you somehow messed with the system partition.

My idea was to flash the 5.2.2 raw image (overwrites /system), then upgrade to 6.3.6. In theory, this works, but I had the broken GPS and some FC afterwards.

btw: I got my FP back :)

Had to pay 1€ for administration fees only. They switched it off after finding, that's why I was not able to locate it.

Now I did a factory reset, which was a bad idea, got no keyboard application left, therefor can't connect to wifi or enter an APN. Need to fix it with ADB...
[Asus Fonepad 7] MEHRDAD595:
hi,its there!i did nothing!

If u upgrade to kitkatt u can see it!

Ah got it, I removed the dictionary from the system apps, and voila, audio manager appeared like magic :)

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 PM ----------

BTW, after some time and extensive usage, I found that the KK experience on our device is very laggy (as someone outlined it before). I installed a lot of apps from GP and the games that run smoothly before on JB, didn't go well with KK with sound glitches and FC (I played Injustice gods among us for example), try it people on both versions and you will notice the difference of performance.

So, until a fix is provided, I decided to revert to JB.

I didnt notice it as i dont use them!!!! ☺
[Asus Fonepad 7] dragoshtom:
hey, I also updated to 4.4.2. But I noticed that the battery performance was reduced a bit. What do you think, have you noticed something like that?
[Asus Fonepad 7] hotvibes:
I also noticed this.
[Asus Fonepad 7] dragoshtom:
hm, so it's not just me.

I also have a issue with Wi-fi icon. If the signal is constant. If I download/upload data the arrows don't move. If the signal changes, and so do the icon, the arrows change similar with the traffic on that time, and stays that way until the signal changes (and so the icon) again.

With the mobile icon, I don't have this arrow problem. Sorry for the english mistakes.
[Asus Fonepad 7] hotvibes:
Same here. This build seems to be to buggy.

[Asus Fonepad 7] CoaBalboa:
Yes. there is a great issue about battery drain. It can barely hold 15 hours, same usage as on 4.3, which could hold it for 2 days (40 hours). From 40 hours to 15, that is great problem with same usage on both systems. There is a regulary deep sleep, no mediaserver drain but something using battery which i can not figure it out. asus must do something about it, fast!

my battery stats are fine... and i still dont have to charge it regularly... try backup and factory reset?

I've done about 2 3 factory reset, from droidboot and Settings and the same results. Something isn't sleeping on screen off. For ex. if I leave an app on screen without closing it from Recent, It has a huge possibility to drain the battery.

im sorry i forgot to mention that when the first time i turn on the Handheld , it show an update about 109Mb , but i decide to update later .

Then I read this article so tryed to update again but it always say there is no internet connection or the server is busy , and its last until now .

So do i have to reset factory or else ?

Thanks

[Asus Fonepad 7] dragoshtom:
Hello.

Yes, you should have updated. You must have a wi-fi connection to download the update. Check again in System Update from About with a internet connection, and update. No need for factory reset, I don't think the problem comes from your tablet, rather from a Internet connectivity issue. You could restart just to make sure. After updating to build 5.2.5 you can follow the first post instructions for root

Bricked my phone with wrong "recovery.img" - Please help!!!

Hi there,

I accidentally flashed a "recovery.img" of another ASUS phone on my Fonepad 7 (ME372CG).

Here is my story:

1: I rooted my phone before some months.

2: Now I tried to make an Update to Firmware 6.3.6. This doesn't work. I only stops the update with an error.

3: Then i found a forum where it is described that I have to "unroot" with an older firmware. This doesn't work, too.

4: Then someone posted i need to flash another "fastboot.img" and "recovery.img" to make it work. So i did.

5: I lately realized that this was for another ASUS phone.

Now I'm searching for the original "recovery.img".

Does anyone have the original "recovery.img"? Can anyone post it here, please?

[Asus Fonepad 7] fussel323:
There is no device, which is totally un-rootable. The method of rooting described in this thread takes advantage of a big carelessness of asus using public available android testing key to sign their ota update files. Now they use another non-public key, so we have to find another way into. It's up to you, too ;)

Btw why have you bought 10 currently non-rootable devices for small business purposes, if you have to fullfil the necessary requirement gaining root access :confused:

Apparently:

The ones experiencing the firmware problem, kindly wait for the android update 4.4.4 . This problem is arising due to the firmware version being of 4.4.4 but other still 4.4.2. The problem will be resolved soon.

Hey,

After I had rooted my Fonepad a while ago, the display started to flicker, the device turned itself off and wouldn't boot anymore. However I was lucky, because it got repaired. Now since this repair I am stuck at Android 4.3 though, my latest firmware is from the 17th of Feburary. The Kerner-Version is 3.4.43.

Hey,

thanks for your fast answer. I am thinking about doing a full update, since my Build-Number is JSS15Q.WW_epad-V5.25.... which makes me believe, that I would have to do a lot of partial updates to get to the newest version ;) . Instead I think I will use this one , since this (5.3.8WW-Full) sounds like the most direct way to get to my goal.

Anything I should know? Sorry got really careful, after it broke the first time.

what is your fonepad model? is it K00E or K00Z or others? please check your product box / build.prop

Edit 2 : since you are already on 5.2.5 , you just have to flash 2 partial updates to get to the latest v6.4.2 (v5.2.5 to v6.3.6 and v6.3.6 to v6.4.2)
