Thanks a lot, for 2 days I tried various combinations and mix of firmware/raw/release-user.

I really though I would stay on the bios/uefi screen for life.

The method of "Goblinwa94" on http://4pda.ru/forum/lofiversion/index.php?t606668-2420.html works like a charm.

All my problems started when I tried different ways to invert the touchscreen up/down after a replacement of the screen with glass.

And with the already rooted backup now I will be able to modify the screen.

YES, of course!

Lollipop (android 5.0) has a better memory management, using compression on a part of it to "make room". You'll get

less

or

no force closes

. The tablet won't fly as it only has 1 GB of RAM, but in terms of Force Closes, you won't experience these any more.

Successful Rooting of the Intel ASUS Transformer Pad TF103C

Afternoon Chaps, as i have no idea how to create a thread for this tablet,

i have opted to post a reply on this older thread. :angel:, SO I would like to inform people,

IT IS possible to root this tablet, and it can be done literally within a few seconds. :D.

How do i root the Android Tablet TF103C?

Simple instructions a baby could do it.

1.) Wipe it.

2.) Make sure it's ROM is stock. clean. and untouched.

3.) Download APK and transfer it via USB directly onto the Device.

4.) Install the APK

5.) RUN IT.

(During Running of APK)

[This is very clever, these devices are disguised Zen Phones but branded as Zen Tablets.. otherwise this wouldnt work, logical herein applies to that extent to understand that statement. However it is minus the cellular capability, this is where the root hack comes in. Its installed VIA an APK. and yes, i've tried many apks, Kingo root etc, none of them actually work on this intel based tablet.]

What did i do?

Simply put, installed the APK, ran it, with WIFI off and FORGET YOUR SSID.

This APK uses an exploit to enable Demo mode offline, during this,

i have no idea what it does, but during this flip to the zen demo mode,

it will freeze for a moment, and then touch the power button once and then once again,

it will say its taking a screenshot...

(perhaps injection of root via screenshot saving?);

when it came to this screen, i forced the device off,

then rebooted it, after giving it 30 seconds...

Do not touch it during this stage, it will boot to the android bot logo,

and then it will reboot again within a few seconds!

this did not happen with other rooting methods,

so i am 100% certain of this method.

The APK is entitled: RootZenFone-1.4.6.4r.apk

You can download it directly from my private server

cyberdefencenetwork.co.uk/landing/security/android/asus/tf103c/

since you have to jump through ads to get it,

i have propped up a page for anyone with a TF103C to just download the APK Directly, no waiting about.

So if this helps anyone with a TF103C, rate the post etc.

MC. :good:

Hi All,

Sorry to resurect such an old thread but I've got one of these tablets and its got Android 5 on it using the Kernel WW_V12.10.5.11_20151225 and it is shocking! Its so slow, originally I wanted to use it for managing smart plugs / camera etc but I'm looking to use it for more things like microsoft teams etc etc - but its virtually unusable and slow!

Is there a better O/S to use for speed? I'd love a stripped down version that is super basic but runs faster lol....

I know its a super long shot but does anyone know of a confirmed way to speed this up - even if I change the rom & version of the android :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veverone:
I had this tablet and, yes, at one point it became unbarable slow, even if I removed everithing from it.

The issue is, in order:

Google Services collecting a lot of information these days, all the time, thus the CPU cycles are used by google... instead of you

the solution is to find a really old version and disable play store

the issue with the solution is that many of our modern apps won't work without a sort of recent google services

the best way would be to, somehow, remove google services. this way, the applications you use will, probably, use their own sync services and so on... instead of trying to use google services and bombarding you with messages that you have an old version

the apps you use are too complex for the power this tablet has. Actually, the processor is fine.... BUT the RAM is very low by today's standards. The tablet was not optimized by the manufacturer to act like a "low ram" device... so any optimizations that any app could employ, is not activated due to simply not seeing the "low ram" flag

using older version of these apps could work, but this can be problematic if you try to use the services behind those apps... you may not be able to login into your accounts any more and so on....

the web sites you visit use A LOT of client side processing via JavaScript. This is how the world works right now... "single page applications", "no reload", "live updates" and so on... some websites won't work at all if you block JavaScript

all resources loaded by javascript processes need to hang around in the RAM... as this tablet doesn't really have RAM, it becomes very very slow

Anyway... this is it.

Just... use the tablet for simple things and simple websites and remove Google services or use a really old version of them

I upgraded to an Alfawise Tab with 4 GB of ram. Although the processor in this tablet is not necessarily better, the amount of RAM makes a huge difference.

It has Android 6, thus it doesn't eat much.... I feel that I could use this tablet for a long long time.

To make an idea why the Android version matters, for example, android 9 and 10 will eat 2.5+ GB of RAM in average, without anything. Probably it will go up to 3 GB after a while.

Android 6 takes about 700 MB.....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totallytech:
Ah ok, I see, stupid question, how do I remove all the bloatware and asus preloaded stuff from it? If I root it following the instructions in #289 will that let me remove the google and preloaded stuff? I've only got 4 apps on it at the moment, but when I tried to install microsoft teams it says the storage space is full.

Its either this, or I just dump it on fb marketplace for sale for £20/£30 and get rid of it, then change to a more modern tablet...

How to root if you receive the "warning apd or adf" error

I had to run around the block to figure out why some of these were rooting ant not others. The problem had to do with the exploit used to Root. I believe it's using the demo software that comes on some of these to create the exploit. In some models the demo software has been disabled\erased, you need to format the special partition for the rootzen to work.

1. Download and install RootZenPhon, I used 145, but I hear 144r works fine

http://www.asuszenfoneblog.com/2014/09/download-rootzenfone-145r.html

2. Boot the device into Fastboot (Thanks Cortex1208)

How to get device into Fastboot mode.

1. Press and hold the Volume + button and power button (while device is on).

2. When screen turns black release the power button, but remain holding the Volume + button.

Device should load the bootloader.

3. Using a Fastboot console, type in:

fastboot erase ADF

fastboot reboot

4. Run the rootzenphone tool for the win.

OK guys, everything went fine with rooting procedure and I enjoyed my rooted device for a while. However there is a problem with the device itself and I need to send it for waranty repair. I guess that warranty does not apply to rooted devices so I need to unroot my tablet as soon as possible. How can I do it? Factory reset does not remove root obviously and I don't know how to make my tablet instal image from sd card or internal memory. So... help please.

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

Problem solved - it was very easy. When I placed an update file in main memory tablet automaticaly detected it so I only had to confirm that I wanted to make an update. Obviously it is not allowed to downgrade so I updated with the same version of firmware since it was the latest available. After an update all preinstaled stock aplications returned and of course root was gone.

no update to v 4.4.4

HI guys

I've signed up to the forum just to get involved with this thread. It's been very valuable since I got my tablet yesterday. In that time I've gotten it rooted via ZenFone. After doing so I've uninstalled a lot of the installed ASUS bloatware via Titanium backup (making backups first).

Anyway, to get to the point, in attempting to update to 4.4.4 after getting the prompt that an OTA system update was available it didn't work. It now says my system is up to date at: Android version 4.4.2. I have asked it to check for updates but it still reports being up to date.. In messing about with it I've ended up doing a factory reset forgetting about the bloatware backups which were deleted as part of the factory reset (very stupid on my part clearly) and was wondering of this could be something to do with the update now not being available.

Could anyone help please?

Hi all

Literally just got my Asus 103c a couple of days ago and already used Rootzenfone to root it.

I already have a Moto G phone which i rooted some time back and have been tweaking.

I'm just wondering what tweaks you are all doing?

Which Asus apps do you recommend getting rid of?

I have Titanium Backup Pro so that should be easy enough.

Or is it recommended to clean install a non Asus version of android?

Someone mentioned the possibility of making a pagefile on the SD card to improve on the 1GB RAM - is this possible?

Also, one reason I bought this is for getting back to writing and have been interested in using Adobe Story. However this doesn't come in Android friendly versions but has a free in browser version that unfortunately needs flash.

I got round this on my phone by installing Flash Fox Pro (although it it far too small to be useful) but can't open Flash Fox Pro on the asus - it keeps crashing on startup with some message re the processor.

Any ideas on a workaround for this?

Oh and happy new Year!

The battery issue is an odd one. I know when i received mine i wasn't happy with the battery, it seems like there's some dodgy calibration going on.... I purposely ran it down to 1% to get it flat, only to find when it got to 1% it lasted about 1.5 hours longer! :confused:

So... what i did was run it untill it was dead, i turned it off and charged it over night (or 8ish hours) without disturbing it. Now it seems fine....the battery % drops at a more consistent rate.

Yes I agree the battery calibration is very dodgy. I tried cold booting and it didnt work.

I sent asus an email about it and they told me to do a factory reset. That didn't work so I emailed them again and they said to RMA it. Not sure if its even worth my time to RMA.
