[MeMO Pad 7 General] LuctenFinger:
thank you for your help

i just realized that my tablet stuck at kitkat so it has no dnx mode....:eek:

---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

i read the post about a year ago and find that you faced the same problem at that time

how did you solve that stuck at .201 ?

sounds like that boot partition cannot be written?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
Doesnt Asus have a kitkat to lollipop that's flashable by stock recovery, I think the last time I was there they had one kitkat to the latest out.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] :
They have it, I have all the firmware that wad released on my PC, will update on its name and maybe upload it if the size is in my limit.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] LuctenFinger:
i think maybe some parts of eMMC was broken

i flash every boot.img but never success
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
My problem was that it did not flash UEFI. You for sure have UEFI. And if you got to TWRP (from droidboot booted from DNX?) then you have DNX. Or are there two of you with different problems? [confused]

P.S I let it on bootloop and gone for a warranty motherboard replacament.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] LuctenFinger:
is the motherboard borken?

maybe my is broken too:crying:

i can't flash any thing to the boot partition

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

that command is great !

it work for me perfectly!:svetius:

where can i find other oem command and their usage?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
Either ask [MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION] or ask Asus support. But the second won't work probably.

P.S Someone actually wrote this command to me when I was solving this for another person.

P.P.S find some time to read the link in my description. I have not wrote it but it's still great. Better than some oem ;)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] triharas:
Thanks a lot mate. You are a savior. Finally i flashed the rom and everything working fine.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] LuctenFinger:
BTW , why you want to downgrade to kitkat?

is kk superior?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
Kitkat is much more stable than lollipop
[MeMO Pad 7 General] thebulletfromhell:
That's a meme. I got my tab downgraded to KitKat through the warranty place , and its a laggy piece of ****. The first LP release was bad, which perpetuated the "KitKat is better" stuffs thrown around here, but side by side the current .36 LP is smoother, more stable and has better battery life.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] tim_h:
10+ days battery life in idle!

Hi guys. I found a way to achieve 10+ days battery life in idle on the .36 lite ROM. Install Deep Sleep Battery Saver and set it up such that the tablet goes to Deep Sleep whenever the screen is turned off. (I do not need any apps receiving messages and such when the tablet screen is off.) Have a look at the attachment. The tablet has been charged almost 4 days ago, and I have used it a little here and there. Nevertheless, it has 7 estimated days of battery left. Perfect! :)

The only annoying thing left is that the tab gets very laggy once it has been idling for some time. This was the case before I installed DS Battery Saver, so it is not related to that. It helps to close all apps. In any case, after a bit of use it gets more responsive again.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Beaver_XT:
Has anyone successfully install Windows on this tablet?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] chrismash:
its impossible now cuz UEFI is x64 bit when for normal-working windows we need x32 and some drivers from other tablets
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
Nothing is impossible :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] tim_h:
Still not recharged, battery is at 50%. So battery life in standby is definitely 15+ days, maybe even 20 days. I kid you not! :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Does this interfere with music players? If it doesn't, I know what I'm doing...
[MeMO Pad 7 General] tim_h:
I'm not 100% sure. You can set it up such that the tablet does not go into deep sleep as long as some data transfers occur (you can configure the threshold that will trigger this). So, if you stream music, it should work without problems.

Other than that you can define certain apps which do not "get stopped", but I am not sure if that will keep the tablet from going into deep sleep or if this relates to some other functionality where apps are shut down.

I would give it a try and play around with the settings if I were you.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
I installed it, let's see how this goes.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Well. It didn't work, but I think it's because I had Power Nap for Xposed installed, and it wasn't allowing DS Battery Saver to activate.

I've uninstalled Power Nap. I'll see how it goes.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
It's working pretty well, my battery drain's only one percent an hour on standby.

Thanks for showing us that [MENTION=3838420]tim_h[/MENTION] that thing is exactly what this tablet needed.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] tim_h:
Great! :) How about the music playback with screen off, did you get that to work?

You say 1% per hour. I have even much less, well below 0.5% per hour. I have set Wifi to deactivate when screen off, maybe that makes the difference?

With the lite v36 and this 10+ days standby I am now really happy with the tablet - for the first time. Still looking forward to a CM build, but this is already pretty usable. By the way, the lag after long standby went away after I deinstalled GSAM Battery Monitor, which anyway did not work correctly any more with the forced Deep Sleep when screen is off.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] trekminal:
Hi!

Someone has tried to change the LCD density in this tablet? I'm running KitKat 4.4.2 with WW-3.2.23.201 firmware and the value in my build.prop is set to "213" by default.

Thank you.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Yeah. I just put my music player in the white list, so when it's in the foreground the tablet doesn't go into deep sleep.

My WiFi deactivates, too, and I'm also usually in airplane mode, so I don't know what the difference is. Maybe my battery's just getting old.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
i own a win 10 tab with intel 64bit quadcore proc and UEFI and it runs with pre installed win10 32bit version.with uefi you can boot every os wich fits to the uefi standard equal if its 32 or 64 bit wide.

the most difficult thing is to figure out wehre you switch the uefi's secureboot mode and how the manufacturer has set the logic of switching between bootparameters.

---------- Post added at 18:11 ---------- Previous post was at 17:36 ----------

yes,i cahnged it serveral times.if you scale it smaller than 213 then the bootanimation that will be shown is a android robotnic and i have made the experiance that when the firmware bootanimation is customized or changed some strange things could apear but i had this probs with other devices like note1 and htc hd2.don't know if the dpi changing on this device will cause issues in any kind.i'm still on kitkat too and use Root DPI Changer it works pretty well.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] trekminal:
Thanks! I changed the DPI in my Nexus5 several times and the bootanimation is shown as always. But sometimes the value is not accepted by the phone and it causes bootloop. But in the phone I have root and custom recovery for security nandroids before any changes. ;)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
uefi on this tablet is already secure boot off i think so it should boot win8 for sure (it even has an option for win8 in uefi)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
yes windows should boot in any case even on the 8gig variant someone in this thread did it already but it runs very slow with only 8gig memory and the touchscreen drivers not present.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] dareas:
I was in your position few months ago. I just brought my tablet for warranty repair and got motherboard replacement. The new motherboard came with Kitkat installed so I was complete happy :D
[MeMO Pad 7 General] thebulletfromhell:
You can ask them to install KitKat/Lollipop. Asus has the Intel Flash Tool package that let them flash between Lollipop and KitKat.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Seconding this, Lollipop is more stable than KitKat in my experience (it's much better with the lightweight .36 ROM than the OEM Lollipop ROM) and the insecure bootloader only works on Lollipop.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
so what kind of files we need to use with the intel upgrade tool and wehre we can get it?somebody to tell where we get this files to use the intel flashtool for the me176c ?

---------- Post added at 00:38 ---------- Previous post was at 00:11 ----------

so couse of not be able to change the os of my system and don't want to send it to asus rma i decided to buy another tab with uefi support and even the secure boot option is disabled and fastboot is turned to off or on it"s equal the os wich will be installed has to fit to thomething like uefi compatible operating system.so i tryed serveral systems to boot with my new uefi powered system and only one kibd of kitkat rom was able to boot but hasen't touchscreen supported.maybe we should be have a clear oppinion of how the uefi works and starts to load the xxxxxxxx.efi file and whats going on there.iam no developer but i can't understand why there are so many different ways to boot a unix/posix system and every developer has to know how this kind of stuff works.i know about the magic number and stuff but if we get a uefi firmware and turn secure boot and fastboot off,why we can"t boot into a custom rom? is the uefi a unknown state of parameters.sorry for this noob question!
[MeMO Pad 7 General] vampirefo:
What? You bought another tablet? What tablet? Why did you buy a KitKat tablet? Do you want to buy a cheap Intel tablet, that is unlocked? Go to Walmart buy Ares 8 for $78 Lollipop 5.0, then head on over to my threads root it, add twrp, and slap a custom 5.1 rom on it.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] thebulletfromhell:
>so what kind of files we need to use with the intel upgrade tool and wehre we can get it?somebody to tell where we get this files to use the intel flashtool for the me176c ?

Blow the warranty guy and/or ask him nicely for it. Its for internal use only, like just about every other engineering build out there for all devices.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
i bought a win10 intel 8" tablet with uefi 2gig ddr3 ram and 32 gig ssd hd for 88 € it came with secure boot disabled but until now no lp x86 runs at this time have to figure out why they don't boot the only rom i get running was a kk rom but the touchscreen dont works.tablet is named mp man mpw815.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
1 file i know we need is ifwi.bin but asus never added those files to our tablet zip updates... its only avaible for the me572cl model and if we try on ours it will most likelly hard brick...

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

my tablet litterally died... i was browsing on chrome and the tablet stopped. i suspended the tablet, and tried to shutdown.. and also the battery was about 4%... i tried to power it on but it shows like a light *dark light* but doesnt show log, or that its charging, doesnt show anything and cant go to recovery or anything... could it be the battery? should i send it back to the store from where i bought it?

// edit

I fixed it.. it needed to charge slower, conected to pc and after turning on and off the screen about 50 times while conected on pc it showed the intel logo and actually started charging, after charging a bit i placed on a faster charger..
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
thats strange.i will ask in my german cc forum if there is someone who is employed by asus and maybe has the ability to give us the needed files.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
btw. could this be usefull?

[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
Are you two talking kitkat or lollipop?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
lollipop:)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
Your device doesn't use ifwi then, technically it didn't even use ifwi when kitkat, lollipop would be efiloader.efi
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
i think it used ifwi.. i remember seeing in updater script of kitkat someome about capsule and ifwi i think
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
yes i read that also.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] vampirefo:
All depends on uses, no doubt your tablet relied on it to lock your bootloader. Without it your bootloader would be unlocked.

Most companies supplied modified versions users flashed to unlock bootloader.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
i did say technically.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bryandroid98:
Any news about CM or AOSP rom???

[MeMO Pad 7 General] Neuromancer:
How long does Asus usually support and update their tablets? I'm thinking of getting ME176CX, but I see it's on Lollipop for now. Is it reasonable to expect Marshmallow in not too distant future (for now, primarily for app ops / fine-tuning app permissions without root)?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] thegreatn_:
Asus finished supporting ME176CX from 1st January of 2016. Sad. Forgot about MM
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Neuromancer:
Bad, so it's pretty much stuck with 5; as I understand there's also no CM for it. Did they publish this somewhere (their support didn't say anything about it when I asked them)?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
[MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION] is working on CM12.1 with [MENTION=4329876]Olivier[/MENTION], so we'll eventually have CM on here.

In the meantime there is a bootloader "unlock" that replaces the ESP partition with an insecure one to boot custom ROMs and recoveries, and there's a slimmed down, lightweight version of the stock ROM.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Neuromancer:
Good to hear. Two semi-related questions:

- Is there "generally" something wrong with GPS on this device (I wasn't able to get a lock with any of location apps I tried)? I read a few days ago somewhere on the net that someone was complaining about his GPS stopped working after the device was upgraded to 5.

- Should App Ops work without root on Lollipop here? I remember it was disabled in 4.4.2 and a few other versions, but I didn't follow/need it afterwards. I tried a few "starter" apps for it, with mixed/weird results.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] thegreatn_:
GPS efficiency fix

1 method: Factory Reset (That's simple)

2 method: Delete "/data/gps/" (Root required)

3 method: Fixing with help of this app.

1. Disable GPS in the app

2. Choose "GPS Only" mode in the Settings - Location

3. Disable "Location"

4. Open the app, and, in menu, choose "Clear Adding data"

5. Enable "Location" (Be sure, that "GPS Only" mode is on)

6. Enable GPS in the app and wait...

UEFI

look's interesting...but haven't read completely...

http://www.uefi.org/
[MeMO Pad 7 General] AlexOnFire94:
I have had problems with the GPS since getting this tablet.. On 4.4.2 and on 5.0, both versions don't seem to be able to lock on the satellites. I tried factory reset, apps like GPS Fix, GPS Test, etc. Nothing seems to make it work. I even sent it back to ASUS on RMA, they changed the motherboard and downgraded it back to 4.4.2 and it still doesn't work.. So I am pretty desperate and believe that the GPS is just probably bad on this device.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
I have a nice article in my signature, but if you want to read whole uefi specification, feel free to do so :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
i have read that article but i would like to get a little deeper into it causing of many different own interpretations of the uefi standards by the device manufacturers and how they set it up in their firmwares aspecially in case of mixing 64bit cpu's with 32bit OS'es and signed win os'ses an if other os'es have to be signed or if secure boot is disabled i even have to register the efiloader an which one the efi32 or 64 .....and so on.i'am no dev i have to learn some of that stuff for a better understanding why thing's work and why not.;)

Maybe this cm rom (x86) could be useful for a me176c/cx cm rom?https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/android-x86/EQR7dqArcXg
[MeMO Pad 7 General] STcraft:
what's the status on custom/AOSP roms for this device? i've been looking through some pages but there's just too many to read through (havent been in this thread for a looong time) :/
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
Well Intel's Android is different than traditional mix-mode efi OS, normally mix-mode is 64bit CPU, 64bit UEFI, 32bit kernel or 64bit CPU 32bit UEFI, 64bit kernel. With Intel Android devices you have 64bit CPU, 64bit UEFI, 64bit kernel, 32bit userspace (Android).
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Neuromancer:
Out of plain curiosity - does ME176CX have (some sort of) gorilla glass screen? It seems way better than the screen on HD7 I played with about 1-2 years ago (and doesn't retain fingerprints that strongly).
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
Well my weekend builds seem to have suffered major regression and display has stopped working, need to track down my change that broke it.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] vampirefo:
Get any where with sound or video?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
When using a prebuilt kernel sound works fine using prebuilt libs, through speakers, headphones, bluetooth, not tested usb audio, (not building kernels from source yet) video decoding i never had an issue with video encoding isn't working, GPS / FM Radio from what i seen is broken on all Intel builds, hoping that my libva changes is what broke graphics.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Doesn't seem like Gorilla Glass or anything like that to me. Mine has no scratches or cracks (I have a screen protector on it, after my last tablet broke from a facedown drop, and I had dropped it a few times prior so it had cracks in the screen, I learned the hard way to get a case and screen protector)

Mine doesn't really attract fingerprints. The matte screen protector is part of that, but my sister's tablet doesn't have a screen protector and hers doesn't really have fingerprints either.

Once you get the display working again, do you think it's usable enough for an alpha build to be sent to a few of us?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
Well it's not to the point of unified build yet but once i get the display working again, i'll have you help me create the initial device tree so we can start building for this device as we really need to start looking forward to getting cm-13 booting as active development for Intel on cm-12.1 has essentially been abandoned by all active projects.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] STcraft:
Ok, thanks ;)

Good luck! :good:
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Neuromancer:
It may not be Gorilla, but it's still better than most other el-cheapo tablets I've played with. It feels similar to Acer Aspire Switch 10 E I tested a while ago (as opposed to others I checked in that range) - that is, allowing fingers to slide across the screen easily and not leaving many fingerprints (so it feels like Nexus or iPad in this regard). Maybe it's just some "special" coating - I'm no expert, though.

About rooting... is the method with Root ZenFone APK still valid, and is the file on the following site ok:

https://www.light-science.com/root-zenfone-apk-download/
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
RootZenfone method is no longer valid, as the exploit was patched in Lollipop. However, we have a new method.

Download the SuperSU flashable zip to your tablet and download the Intel Android Temporary Recovery to your computer. Make sure you have ADB and Fastboot drivers on your computer, then follow the instructions on the batch script that comes with the temp recovery.

If successful, you'll be able to flash an insecure bootloader that functions as an unlocked bootloader, and you'll also be able to flash TWRP permanently on this tablet's recovery partition. I've got a thread on doing that.

Sorry for not linking anything, doesn't look like XDA Labs does copy paste. Maybe I should update the app :P
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:

[MeMO Pad 7 General] thebulletfromhell:
The concept isn't new. About 7-8 years ago some Vietnamese guy was desoldiering and installing CPU upgrades on those dinky little Vaio slider thing, its possible, but not really worth it, as you need a full set of professional equipment. Possible, but very expensive, and has a high chance of failure unless you're actually doing it for a living. Which is also why those people has access to those equipment in the first place
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
I never looked into how windows bootloader works but with grub tor 64bit UEFI you can load any linux kernel without problems. Also secure boot is off so I would let it be that way and don't care about it.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] therealprof:
Not quite. It is possible but not recommended and quite tricky to run a 64bit OS on a 32bit UEFI, the reason for that being that the UEFI modules are managed from the system so the system needs to ensure to install binaries compiled for a different instruction set. For some reason Intel decided force vendors to use a 32bit UEFI for some chips effectively forcing them to use a 32bit OS, too*. Running a 32bit userspace can make (a tiny amount of) sense for space- and memory-constraint devices which is actually why most Android systems still do despite being x86_64 or ARMv8 architecture.

* Yeah, I do know there are some hacks to use a 32bit GRUB EFI image to boot a 64bit Linux but out of the box that is (maybe was?) not supported. For Windows this is still impossible as far as I know...
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
In the xda x86 installer forum are some people who managed it to install the x64 remixed os on the intel baytrail windows tablets but the installer puts the os to the existing win gpt partition so far i understand.I tried to do it but on my baytrail win tablet it doesn't works at all.I also tried to install a 64 bit win10 but the device won't let me even the cpu is x64 based and sec.boot and fastboot are turned off.I will next test the special remix installer and see if it works.

The only os that works on my device was a x86 kk rom but without touchscreen causing of missing ips drivers for intel chipset and kernels higher than 3.10. cannot accsess ips from what i understand they are talking about......???:((

ASUS no longer provide new firmware ?maybe?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] kakakajaka:

[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
It's just that this tablet has 64 bit UEFI, but - and it's considered bad - most baytrail devices have 32 bit. I would suggest to get grub 2 for 32 bit UEFI somewhere and use it to load whatever linux system you want.

Yes,but it's a bootmanager and i can start all the grub's and the efi's which resides in the different partitions. Cause i won't touch my win10-partition and install other os'es in seperate partitions as result i have two grub's in two partitions and with refind i can pick them to boot...
