Yeah i already know what is my mistake. Now i successful installing UL-K012-WW-12.8.1.26-user.

- Full Un-root

- Flash UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.33-user

- Update to UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.34

- Put UL-K012-WW-12.8.1.26-user into sd card and it will detect the update

- Use that system update and it will success

The problem come from root access i think. After this i will try to root UL-K012-WW-12.8.1.26-user.:victory:

Does any body tried to use folder mount does it works? In mine it doesnt

Lolipop has ext sd rw restrictions and our boot loader is unlocked too so we are having some bad luck over here

Initially I don't have r/w access to the internal sdcard (system/priv-app) because I wanted to push/install apk files mentioned earlier (see post #291) but not sure of external sdcard because I didn't test it.

Can you check your intrenal sdcard's system partition to confirm r/w access?

My workaround steps was,

1) try installing busybox from Google Play Store... failed

2) install busybox.zip from tethered CWM recovery... ok, r/w access permission granted.

I can confirm that this works perfectly! I have already used this method 100 times! As the original thread says, it is limited to only flashing zips. ADB sideload didn't work for me... But i am happy for this! Flashing the Lollipop ROM from asus site(650MB) on stock recovery took about 15 minutes. So be patient when installing lollipop. And don't interfere when flashing. Thanks for the recovery bro ;)

[Asus Fonepad 7] mangkon:
Asus has received many bugs report on the new LP firmware at Zentalk (Coincidentally, Asus has also announced a delay of LP upgrade to their Zenfone 4/5/6 series). So, advise is to stay on KK now until they solve LP issues.

For those who still insist on upgrading to LP and knows the risks involved, the LP upgrade file at time of posting is available <http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/FE170CG/UL-K012-WW-12.8.1.26-user.zip>

How to downgrade from L to KK

You are right, lollipop has many bugs which are related to Wifi connection and a delay on touchscren after a few seconds after turning on the device. Pleas, I would like to know: how to downgrade to kitkat from Lollipop. Thanks!!!
[Asus Fonepad 7] irfanjunaid:
Lots of guys are reporting this! But personally i would like to say that i haven't encountered any of such bugs! I am using both WiFi and 3G from both my Sim's. No UI lags, NO touch lags, No WiFi/Signal drops! Honestly, Tab is working fine and I am in Lollipop!!!

Regarding downgrade, Just put the KK zip on SD(rename to k012_sdupdate.zip) and flash as usual. But the thing is there is no option for factory reset!!! Droidboot menu changes back to the default one with KK before. Make sure you don't interrupt in between!
[Asus Fonepad 7] mangkon:
Quoted by Zen_Master "If the bugs were easy to solve then they would have been solved till now. You may be technically sound and may manage to fix issues or find solutions if faced with bugs. But there are scores of others who may not be so fortunate."

You are one of the lucky ones!
[Asus Fonepad 7] irfanjunaid:
You definitely have a point there! I have rooted and deleted all the unnecessary bloatwares that i wont use! My tab is running like fluid. Ram free: 480MB and no lags... Totally fine here!

De-Brick My Asus FE170CG aka K012

FYI, I finally have a softbrick (recovery bootloop + usb symbol on restarts) on my rooted LP device today. I managed to reinstall rom in an interesting way and like to share.

My workarounds:

- I can confirmed nandroid restore from temporary recovery not working (will get into softbrick)

- I found that the device's stock recovery have options to "wipe all" and "apply adb update"

[ADDED] Details:

-1. Power-off device at whatever error screens

-2. Activate the bootloader (by long pressing with both VOLUME UP and POWER buttons)

-3. Choose "RECOVERY MODE" (by VOLUME DOWN button) and confirm (by POWER button). The device will reboot and start looking for update file(s) and finally ended up with little android laying down with "error" message

-4. Now activate the Asus Stock Recovery (by pressing both VOLUME UP and POWER buttons for 3 seconds and release) and make selections from there.

So, I tried "wipe all" then "adb sideload k012_sdupdate.zip" from computer and the device is ok come fresh again.

I have edited post #312 with added details but do take note that I have a working LP rom (with bootloader IFWI version: 64.33) before softbrick and my workarounds was for reinstalling the same rom by adb sideload method.

And your other problem with temporary CWM recovery, I can only guess 2 things:

- your file "IntelAndroid-FBRL-05-16-2015-PTR" is corrupted and/or

- your bootloader IFWI version is 64.25 (on KitKat) because you up/down-graded

Let me know.

I can't find this file online "UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.34-user.zip". Since many users have LP upgrade/installation issues, and our bootloader being locked, I'm curious and my guess is the file injected something to KK bootloader or upgraded it to accept the new Rom.zip. Possible???

Rooting is done via the Tethered recovery >> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58782588&postcount=219 Choose T4 instead of T2...... And make sure to use the latest SU zip....

Nothing can be done because the Micro USB port is soldered directly on to the PCB... So replacing it can be done only by the Asus customer service guys. I was also stuck with the same problem and opened numerous times to sort it out... Unfortunately nothing can be done and i ended up with replacement of motherboard at a cost(not covered under warranty)

What error are you getting? Try using only the respective SKU's ww-ww, tr-tr, cn-cn........ And try to flash with the same lollipop firmware.

2. Extract the downloaded file and look for 2 folders "META-INF" and "system" (inside extracted folder XposedForZenFoneLollipop>>assets>>xposed-sdk21-x86)

3. Zip-up the 2 folders as "xposed-sdk21-x86.zip", meaning when click on file "xposed-sdk21-x86.zip", you have folders "META-INF" and "system" inside

4. Download file "XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha2.apk" from

NOTE: Download ONLY the "apk" file because the "zip" file is for ARM devices only (ours is x86)

5. Now, place the 2 files "xposed-sdk21-x86.zip" and "XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha2.apk" into device

6. Go into temporary CWM recovery and flash "xposed-sdk21-x86.zip"

For those who are still searching on how to Root the lollipop version:

1. Download IntelAndroid-FBRL-05-16-2015-PTR.7z from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60770086&postcount=352 and the super su zip from https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU

2. Copy UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip to the root of your SD card(That is on the top layer not within a folder).

3. Boot fonepad into FASTBOOT (Make sure the device is turned off. Press and hold power and vol+ until you see the FASTBOOT menu)

4. Connect fonepad to pc.

5. Go to folder where you unpack IntelAndroid-FBRL-05-16-2015-PTR.7z

6. Launch launcher.bat

7. Type ACCEPT

8. Then type T4

After this your phone pad will load CWM recovery. (When its loading you may see on screen some stripes or other artefacts. It's Normal)

10. Now use CWM recovery menu to install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip from SD card

11. After installing the zip go to reboot menu and select reboot system now (if you get question about to root your device, ask yes)

12. Now boot normally and install SuperSU.

Note: None of this is my work just put it together for others to follow easily..
