Need some help.

I did the following:

1) Enabled USB Debugging

2) Installed Intel Drivers for Android USB

3) Put correct root5.4.1.zip file in same folder as adb/fastboot/etc.

Tried to open cmd and execute "fastboot flash update root5.4.1.zip" but it says "waiting for device" in CMD, and in my Fonepad 7 Droidboot, it says Ready for Download.

Am currently on KVT9L.WW_FonePad-V5.4.1-20141021044000282_201406170035.

I found the correct root.zip file, just need help with getting my computer to recognize my FonePad?

Anybody help?

EDIT: Oh yeah I'm currently using ME371CL / K00Y.
[General Topics] mn.code:
You need to get into droidboot first. You can do that by turning off device and then you turn it on by holding Volume+ and power button. Or you can just run the command:

adb reboot bootloader

before

fastboot flash update root5.4.1.zip
[General Topics] heyitsmik:
Thanks for the reply. I already did enter Droidboot though. I mentioned that in my Droidboot, it says "Ready for Download". Meaning my phone detects a USB cable plugged in but my computer doesn't recognize it.

Check the Device Manager on your PC to see if device is detected at all.

Don't use Lollipop with Fonepad 7!

Imho the latest good working rom is the 6.6.1 (KitKat), all the Lollipop version work very badly on this device, tested all with orrible result, even the latest 7.4.1, work fine only if you don't install anything or just a few apps.

In fact in the 7.4.1 version they entered the application "Autostart manager" because are aware of this problem.

Asus has done a truly ignoble Lollipop distribution for Fonepad 7, it saturates the 1 Gb RAM in an instant, in a possibile future version they should remove many of their applications completely useless, a sorta of "Cyanogen" distribution...

Before reading here did downgrade lost IMEI. I have a friend with this model working with IMEI, this other tablet would help me reattach my IMEI?

For people had "IMEI lost". You're rescued now. IMEI will be restored follow these steps:

How to restore IMEI for ME372CG when not registered with Network Provider

1. Download 3 files from link to your laptop or PC with 32 bit OS, Win XP, 7, 8 or 10 (64 bit will not work unless the driver is available)

https://drive.google.com/folderview...bi04T2oyOGp5THB5Z1pNd1NLZEd1Wkk&usp=drive_web

2. Copy file ME372CG_all_TW_eng_T3.0.10.raw to SD card (FAT32 formatted)

This is TW rom but you can use it for WW FP

3. Shut down FonePad. Power + Volume up to bring your FP to Droidboot.

4. Choose Factory reset. Wait for it to reset. (Not force to do this step but recommend)

5. When it boot up. Do step 3 again to Droidboot.

6. Choose SD download,Wait for 5-10 minutes to flash rom ME372CG_all_TW_eng_T3.0.10.raw.

7. Connect FP to laptop Win 7 or other 32 bit. Install driver ADB via CDC from file USB driver.rar which downloaded above.

8. Your laptop: My Computer -> Manage -> Device Manager -> Ports (COM & LPT) will show Intel Android Virtual Com Port (COMx), remember COM x to be used in next step

9. Unzip file Only_ME372CG_Rewrite_IMEI_E0924.rar download .Run file Rewrite_IMEI_Lock.bat, wait for FP reboot and put information COMx and your IMEI(can see on the back of your FP or retail box). IMEI will be rewrite.

10. After that, insert SIM card to test. Make sure it can call OK.

So I guess I could use steps 1-6 to downgrade my never rooted TW 7.3.2 fonepad and then upgrade it to kit-kat? Correct?

Does the raw file go on the SD card I can plug in, or do I need to use ADB to put it on the internal card?

Thanks.
[General Topics] chickenbabi:
not yet. flashing TW rom will gain access to the system to rewrite IMEI later on.

The RAW file goes into FAT32 formatted SD card.

I tried on my WW Fonepad, no problem flashing TW and IMEI rewrite. Then flash again with 3.2.4 RAW file

Used wine on my Linux computer and got my IMEI restored.

Linux does not need any drivers for the CDC serial thing so the serial stuff worked out of the box. I had to use wine 1.7 to do this because it seems like there s a bug in previous versions causing it not be able to communicate with the serial console. Now I'm just doing OTA updates from 5.2.2 to eventually reach lolipop. Then gonna try restoring my backup using tethered CWM.

So ASUS basically updated the device to 5.0 and left it to be absolutely unusable...

I don't want to try to roll back unless there is an official method because I'm afraid that I might brick it.

I found a temporary solution for the performance problems though, you just set the background process limit to 0 and the tablet works again. If you have more than 1 app open, the other apps look like they are in the background but actually it flushes all of their data out of the RAM and if you select them it re-launches them. I'm not sure if it works with the invisible processes but it feels like it does.

People claim that this option is bad but I don't think they understand how badly this device got screwed by ASUS and the 5.0 update and the lack of RAM.

Try using the Tethered CWM recovery method for Intel devices... You will need to install the android USB drivers for Intel devices provided by Intel. I normally use this method to root my Fonepad K00E variant. Once you get into the recovery mode flash the SuperSU zip file and your device should be rooted. Do ask again if you're unsure.

I thank you for the effort . And I then still a question. I have read many different threads here not to overlook anything . I do not need rootpacket from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2697931?

[General Topics] bneo99:
The SuperSU file is the one from Chainfire. It includes the root and the SuperSU app and should work for you as long as it's flashed from the tethered recovery session.

[MENTION=5894534]arun483[/MENTION], I said I'd ask Asus about unlocking the bootloader for this device and well I've actually sent them multiple times and the previous reply from Asus was:

"To improve our customers experience we have forwarded your requirement to related dept for further check. "

Since June till the date this post was written, I've sent 4 emails to Asus, first reply was to tell me that unlocking bootloader was not recommended and will void my warranty (but my warranty was already void), the second and third reply was simillar to the one stated which is that they will forward it to the related department. The last one was sent yesterday and the reply has not arrived.

So what do you think? What are the chances of Asus releasing the bootloader unlock tool based on the reply on top?

Guys if you have nothing to do, do send emails to the support teams asking them to release the bootloader unlock tool. I'm sure once a lot of people sends they will get annoyed enough to release the unlock tool :D . Unity is strength :) so we should unite and send lots of emails to Asus. Thanks in advance guys.
[General Topics] arun483:
Even I have been writing them email asking them to release some way to ulock our bootloader, also I wrote that I know the consequences of unlocking bootloader and that we FonePad users don't really give a damn about it. But every time they have been replying like we have forwarded your issue to respective dept. Again and again. I don't see an unlocket coming but yes we keep annoying them with emails they might release an unlock tool before the next update :P .

Recently I updated my Fonepad 7 (K00E) to the latest firmware released by ASUS (v7.6.0) and somehow the USB pid of my device changed (at bootloader) and this caused fastboot to not recognize my device making me not able to root my device and stuff. Is anyone experiencing this issue too? Currently im stuck in stock rom without root so I can't use AdAway and thats saddd.... :(

root is still possible with v7.6.0, at least using Linux

Hello,

I've successfully rooted the v7.6.0 using Linux Debian and the info at this link:

http://blog.higgsboson.tk/2015/12/25/rooting-intel-based-tablets-on-linux-slash-mac-os-x/

Method T2, there described, has worked with my me372cg ww.

Please note that maybe you can do the same using windows following the instructions from this XDA link:

http://xdaforums.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096

Anyway: be sure, with Linux IT WORKS!!

Thanks to Linux and all XDA helpful people.
[General Topics] bneo99:
If that works for someone else that means its the problem with my device. I have always used that method (Tethered CWM recovery) to root my device ever since I've found out about it. And I use Lubuntu (Ubuntu with LXDE) most of the time for stuff like this because its easier and stuff (driver installation is troublesome when Linux detects it instantly).

If it seems to be a problem my side, I'll try downgrading my device later... Maybe I'll be able to get the PID back.
[General Topics] bneo99:
So with confirmation from another user it seems that my Fonepad somehow had it's USB PID changed during v7.6.0 update (corrupted zip perhaps?)

I normally tries to root the Fonepad after each update using the temporary CWM recovery method and somehow this time it got stuck on the "<waiting for device>" message.

So being curious to why it doesn't work I did a "lsusb" on my laptop and the results were:

bneo99@Aspire-4930:~$ lsusb
Bus 006 Device 004: ID 8087:0fff Intel Corp.

(Obviously this isn't all my lsusb results.
I removed the rest that are irrelevant.)

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 now.

8087:0fff. Something is definitely wrong with the 0fff part. I'm sure the correct USB id's are 8087:09ef or something similar.

So until I find a way to fix this or a way to tell fastboot to use that '0fff' pid I don't think I'll ever be able to root this device. If any Android pros have any idea why this happens and/or how to fix it please do share.

Thanks
[General Topics] gargamon:
I had this same thing happen last year. Someone suggested that you could change the ASUS pid to now match what lsusb shows as the pid. They said they had the same problem and that this was the solution. As they were using windows and I Linux, I didn't pursue it further. If you do try this, let us know whether it works or not as I still need to root my TW K00E.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=57957288#post57957288

I remember that when I checked the logs on linux, occasionally the correct vid/pid would show up, so it's likely not a image corruption.
