Moving out

After using an year or so, I was so happy with the overall experience with my FonePad 7 ME372CG, that I decided to buy Zenfone 5 which I will switch over as my primary cell phone. Unfortunately, this means that I will stop using my FonePad 7 ME372CG as my primary phone, but will continue to use it as Tablet.

This also means that I will visit this thread less frequently though I will keep checking occasionally for any updates. Thanks for putting together this thread, it was really helpful to keep my FonePad 7 ME372CG updated.

wow great job man.

next i am telling you. you actually would have installed your .img file in system block that is mmcblk0p8. so find the appropriate mmcblk of recovery and its that.

if possible share the method so that we could also try on our level to get cwm recovery working.

man once cwm succeeds means we would be no far of a custom rom i guarntee and even lollipop in future.

Surely i will pm you the method and we will discuss it once cwm method gets perfected we will post method publicly.

[MENTION=6197673]mohamed.m[/MENTION] .. can you tell me what the course of your updates were? 4.2 => 4.3 => KitKat? All stock ROM's? And then back to 5.2.2 using this forum?

Because I too am having that same exact problem.

But, in a twist, my SIM card stopped working

after

updating to KitKat.

ME372CG. I was running the version

before

V6.3.6. I was rooted, with SU installed. No other modifications. No tweaks. All official WW's&SKU's.

The update from pre-6.3.6 to KitKat took over 3 hours and was stuck on Asus loading screen. I then aborted by pressing Power several times and doing a Factory Reset using Power- and Volume UP button. This is what probably killed my ME372CG. It asks for my PIN and I too can see my IMEI when pressing *#06#. But that's it. Can't register on any network. The icon of network bars with a small "x" is visible in my top-right screen.

As of now, it's a rather expensive tablet. I tried flashing back to 4.3 & 4.4 using methods described in this thread. But to no avail. No Android version can wake up my GSM.

In short: was running Stock pre-6.3.6 while rooted, updated over the air to KitKat. Phone dead. After that I used this thread to hopefully revive my dead phone. No dice.
[General Topics] The-Droidster:
Updated to kitkat 6.3.6 via ota, rooted successfully. Removed some google apps like google plus with titanium backup. Now I have a new system update notification for 6.5.0. How can I ensure successful update? Thnx!

EDIT: OK after reading a bit, I realized that flashing back to 5.2.5 as descried in the first post is the only way for me I guess (correct me if I'm wrong.)

Considering that I follow that path, will I loose all my data or all of will remain intact through the entire update process?

Secondly, is it really worth it to go through all that trouble for a jump to 6.5.0 from 6.3.6? 6.3.6 is working well for me.

Still plz let me know what could be done. Thnx for this wonderful thread.

Cheers! :)

[General Topics] usgaap:
Thanks for the reply <3 ..

So it seems we both killed our phone during boot. You in Droidboot, me in normal boot. Mine is going to Asus Service Center tomorrow. What worries me though is that my update was official. And it got endlessly stuck during Asus boot. Which means it can happen again :/

I tried registering. But I need a Cyrillic keyboard to complete the process. So, no :/

[General Topics] usgaap:
Hi 666shanx,

Can you explain the precise steps? What was the last setup when it worked fine? On what update where you on? Where did it go wrong? OTA delivery of an update? If so, what update? Where you rooted when you did that? Did you get stuck during boot? Droidboot? If so, at what point in the update process? Changed anything in in build?

Also, not to sound like a complainer, but can you perhaps downsize your reply by deleting part of your quote post? It's taking up halve the page.

Sincerely :)
[General Topics] 666shanx:
Yes I was rooted. was on KItKat 4.4 . I used the 5.1.6 raw file and put in the sd root. Installed it using Droidboot mode. Wasn't stuck in any mode. When the tablet rebooted it displyaed that the IMEI was 0049996000. SIM card is not being recognised and no network is being displ;ayed. OTA is not updating. Right now I have done partial update to 5.2.5 manually as told. I even tried dlpkg file update only for it not to work.

Thanks a lot usgaap for replying!

I sent mine to repair center as RMA. I am sorry. But updating or overwriting with

not

restore calling functionality. And we have the same problem. It seems that is also the only plausible solution for you regretfully. RMA it. Sorry to say it :/

[MENTION=6197673]mohamed.m[/MENTION], were you rooted when it failed? If so, that would make 3 people who were rooted who lost calling functionality after flashing. Pattern?
[General Topics] pavitra.das:
Hi!

I have a strange problem with the device. If I'm using a wire handsfree on call - the other person is not hearing me good. I need to place the microphone of the handsfree next to my mouth. It happened with KK update. With 4.3 I had clock freezing but there was not this problem.

Btw I have two wired handsfree and it's the same with both of them. The same handsfrees are working like a charm with my other phone - Samsung S3 mini.

Updated to 6.6.1 before a few days. No changes regarding this problem.

No root or custom recovery applied ever.

Somebody having this issue? Any suggestions how to solve it?

Thanks!

How Is this device compared to other FonePads?
[General Topics] pavitra.das:
It has a good hardware and Android is running smoothly (my personal opinion) . One year usage - almost no problems - only a few Android bugs :p Last FW 6.6.1 is well polished, still i have a bug with low microphone voice sensitivity. Still I cannot consider it's a FW bug or some application related. (Old cache or whatever) :)
[General Topics] g_hartley_:
Thanks Mate. I'm looking at an Android tablets
[General Topics] usgaap:
Hi .. I am sorry but your post is a bit confusing. Please state exactly

what

devices you are using. Product numbers, brand names, you know what I mean XD. What region? Have you tried resetting it to factory? This did not happen with 4.3 as you mentioned. Bluetooth? What version?

The Fonepad 7 is already a somewhat older Asus phablet. It has it's limitations, screen (7" LED Backlight WXGA (1280x800)), DPI, the fact we don't know if Asus will update it to Lollipop (most likely not) and there's this thing that there are

NO

Custom ROM's as of yet. Which means you

CAN

get root, but that's about it.

If pure screen size (7") is your criterium, this one is your best bet. If you want Custom ROM's, Android 5.0 (Lollipop), look further. This device might not be for you.

[MENTION=5894534]arun483[/MENTION] & other devs for the ME3725CG .. I have recently stumbled upon Facebook posts admitting there's not a lot of incentive to continue developing .. ehm .. ROM progress. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.

I took an OTA upgrade on 8-19-2014 which installed KVT49L.TW_epad-V6.4.1-20140813. When I check for updates it tells me it is up to date. I have never rooted the system.

I don't see 6.4.1 referenced anywhere in this thread, and much newer releases are being discussed. What can I do to update my fonepad 7?
[General Topics] usgaap:
What you might want to do is head over to this page.

It features a Taiwanese version of 6.5.3. Download it and copy it to the root of your memory card. The system will recognize an update by flashing a triangle in the upper left corner. If you see no triangle, reboot your phone. After tapping the triangle, hit install.

Please be careful, make sure you have indeed the

Taiwanese ME372CG

. Always perform a backup of your phone before flashing, battery is 100% and realise some ... not alot but some... have experienced problems after flashing. If your unsure, visit the localized version of Asus Taiwan and do a search for your phone.
[General Topics] gargamon:
Thanks for the quick response. How exactly do I verify I have a TW fonepad 7? I purchased it while in Hong Kong.
[General Topics] usgaap:
One way would be to check following these online instructions.

Another way would be to check the box the phone came with. There should be a sticker on the back with a lot on detailed info. Somewhere you should see "Android xxxxx" .. where xxx should be the prefix of your ROM, say TW for Taiwanese.

Please visit this localised Taiwanese Asus support page. If it is indeed the ME372CG you have. Use the instructions posted above to tend to your backup, battery, download & flash update.
[General Topics] ekowi:
thanks for advice, already have now.
[General Topics] higc:
Incorrect

I don't know where you heard that but I don't think that is accurate. I can't locate anything that would backup your statement. I'm 99% sure I've been able to do so on another device. That would also present a big problem when the next version comes out. I believe it is supposed to have full disc encryption turned on by default. If you can provide some valid documentation to prove your statement, I would be interested in reading it. Thanks.
[General Topics] gargamon:
Thanks again for your help. I'm still having issues doing the update.

First, I'm convinced I have the TW model. The issues I'm having are getting connected via the USB. I've spent some time looking at this and it looks like the fonepad is sending the wrong vendor id and product id most of the time when plugged into a windows or linux PC. The vendor ID should be "0b05" and the product id should be "551f". I'm getting "8087" and "09ef" respectively. I get the same results on different computers and with different cables.

So I really don't expect anyone here to be able to assist with that, but I can get into droidboot. Is there any way to do this upgrade through the sd card?

Thanks again for all your help.
[General Topics] usgaap:
Hi,

The different Vendor & Product ID's are associated with the Intel/ Asus MTP/ ADB Drivers required to communicate with the Fonepad.

The correct version of your software is located in Settings => About => Software Information => Build Number. That is where you should look.

General builds have the WW prefix. Chinese versions have the CN prefix. Taiwanese builds have the TW prefix. You should be able to see under "Build Number" if there is such a prefix.

This is the Taiwanese official Asus Software Page. It has all the updates suited for the FonePad7. Look for an update that matches the prefix under your "Build Number".

Download the proper update with the correct prefix and follow these instructions and you're good to go. Please back up all your software and data, have your battery at 100% or near. And please don't interrupt the update process or tinker with buttons. After 10 minutes or less you should have updated the phone.
[General Topics] gargamon:
The ASUS vendor id is always 0b05. See: http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html#VendorIds

Since my TW fonepad now reports the vendor id as 8087 it will never be able to be connected to via the USB. That's why I asked for a way to do this via the sd card. I ask again, is there a way to do the upgrade via the SD card?

As for the Taiwan site, it has exactly the same firmware available on all the other worldwide ASUS sites. The only difference is the language the site is written in.

Again, due to the bad vendor and product id's I cannot connect my fonepad to the PC via the USB. Those instructions you provide will never work. I need to upgrade, if possible, through the sd card.
[General Topics] usgaap:
Yes, you can. It is described in the instructions link I posted earlier. Place the correct update on your SD card. In the top left corner you should see a triangle with an exclamation mark after some moments the transfer is complete. It is a signal the phone found an update. Reboot if the triangle doesn't appear initially.
[General Topics] gargamon:
Wow, my bad. This was the first thing I tried when trying to do the manual upgrade and it did nothing at the time. A subsequent attempt (with a different SD card) worked as per design. I have to think the first sd card was flaky.

Anyway, sorry for the disruption, thanks for the help, and Merry Christmas if you are so inclined.

sim card problem with 5.2.5

Hi everyone. I bought my K00E a year ago but in the first few months , i didn't put a sim card in it. I only put a sim card in it once or twice for a short period of time(about 24 hours). And i used to update it as the OTA updates came in. Then, about 6 months ago i put a simcard in it but i noticed that the device does not recognize the sim card. I have to put it in the airplane mode, then turn off the airplane mode for it to recognize my simcard. Even after doing that i have to manually search for my network provider otherwise it just says "emergency calls". But even after doing these, the device loses my simcard randomly after some time. So i have to do the airplane mode and manual search again. This trick though, doesn't work all the time, and sometimes i have to remove the simcard and replace it again and then do all those things. So the simcard is practically unsusable and i'm using my tablet as a no-cimcard tablet. But this is really annoying me and i need to fix it.

At the point that i realized the device doesn't recognize my sim card i had 5.2.5 build number. And i haven't updated the device after that because i was afraid other things would also stop working.

I haven't done any root, flash, or any manual configuration on the tablet. Just accepted OTA updates.

I'm pretty sure that i saw a similar question in the past about 5.2.5 update ruining K00E but i can't find it anymore. I also searched the web, this thread and other forums but couldn't find anyone who has a similar problem. I only get reviews about K00E in google results. My question is:

1- Does anyone else have the same problem with sim card, and what is their build number?

2- Does upgrading to kitkat solve my problem?

3- If i downgrade to 5.2.2(my preferred method) would the problem be solved? Because i'm not 100% sure that the problem started with 5.2.5

I'm sorry if my post is too long, i wanted to be as informative as possible.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that when i manage to get the sim card to work, it only works for a few hours, after that nothing can get INTO my tablet. I mean, i can make calls, but if someone calls me nothing happens. I can send text message, but if someone sends me text messages nothing happens and the messages get stroed in simcard withoug any notice.

Unfortunately, there is no quick fix.
[General Topics] pouria19:
Unfortunately my guarantee expired 3 months ago. I should have returned it to service but i didn't because i was afraid they would fix it but break something else. I'm going to go to an Asus customer service to see if it can be fixed without changing hardware. I think changing the motherboard costs as much as the device itself :crying:
[General Topics] usgaap:
Sorry to hear that.

Unfortunately the number of people who bought this device is too small. Because a lot of people have problems exactly like you. Me, for instance. And numerous others in this thread. I think I counted about 10 in this thread. If it was a hugely successful device selling millions we have had a chance banding together. But alas, as of now it's being treated on a case-by-case basis.

Replacing the motherboard is indeed about as much as purchasing a brand new device. Shame.
