OK, I removed the line, rezipped, and am now installing the zip file off external SDcard using temp session.

Is it normal for it not to show any progress? It just says "Installing update..." and the status bar is just black under the android icon. :eek: Do you recall how long the update took?

Thanks,

sutekh137

EDIT: OK, it finished and I rebooted and after a long boot, I got the "Optimizing apps..." screen. I lost root, so I used temp session to install SuperSU, now it is rebooting, and it is optimizing apps again. Gah. Is it going to do that every time now, like it did when I went from KitKat to Lollipop? Am I going to have crappy performance unless I factory reset the thing again? This is annoying. How do I stop it from optimizing apps every time it boots up (because it takes 5+ minutes every time...)?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] :
Yeah, happened to me as well after getting the new OTA, I got the optimizing apps screen twice, it should only happen twice after that reboots should work as normal & be faster.

Most likely realtek 8723bs, you need to lsmod while in Android, and do a dmesg log to get your hardware info, before trying Linux.

Hi, I had Lollipop first version, and after I try to update to the new one, I got this message:

"AFU: test IPMI BIOS update.FV

File Size is 0x00300260

_"

What can I do?

The tablet didn't start, in the best scenario, it freezes on the Asus start screen...

PLS help.

THX
[MeMO Pad 7 General] lambdadroid:
Thanks! That helped me a lot! :)

lsmod didn't show anything that really helped me, but dmesg was really useful after I restarted the device. This is what the commands printed: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/3910f98545d821f4903d

I found this line next to some other lines mentioning WiFi: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/3910f98545d821f4903d#file-dmesg-L977 then I looked into /system/vendor/firmware and there is only a bcm43362 directory in it, so I would say it's most likely this chip: https://www.broadcom.com/products/wireless-connectivity/wireless-lan/bcm43362
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sutekh137:
I just rebooted and this time the "Android is upgrading..." screen just said "Starting apps...", so it looks better now.

Not sure it is faster, but we'll see. At least I know the K013_1 trick works. I removed the line to check the device and used a Temp CWM session to install the zip file, and it worked. Lost root, but I put it right back (again with the temp CWM session).

Looks like all my frozen apps stayed frozen. Do frozen apps update properly? Freezing is just a matter of renaming the APK, correct? How does the update program know to update the base APK and then freeze it again? Just curious...

Thanks,

[MeMO Pad 7 General] DrBatson:
Hi, can someone give me advice or confirmation on the following subject:

I have a &@#up bootloader from a failed lollipop update and so far it seemed the only option would be to RMA the device (which I really don't want to do because it means cca one or worst case two weeks without my gadget).

But I saw the Kitkat to Lollipop update zip on Asus support and I'm wondering... Can it solve my problem or still RMA (No not until I buy a backup tablet)? So can someone confirm that it solves the bootloader thing (yes probably I can bring back the device if it goes into bootloop but I'm lazy, tired, don't want to etc.)?

Thanks
[MeMO Pad 7 General] vampirefo:
Frozen apks are fine, the update script, doesn't start the apks, just patches them, first it checks to see if they exist and does a checksum to make sure they are correct apks, then applies a patch. So the frozen apks are updated correct.

Unlikely anyone can confirm or deny it will work for your situation, only you can do that, what do you have to loose? Nothing if it fails you are no worse off than you are now.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] lambdadroid:
Ok, so considering the device has most likely the wifi chip BCM43362 (https://www.broadcom.com/products/wireless-connectivity/wireless-lan/bcm43362) any ideas how to make it work on Linux? According to https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/brcm80211 it should be natively supported in the kernel since version 3.14 but my Arch Linux installation I'm testing with is on Linux 4.1.2 so it should normally work without any problems.... It just doesn't recognize it and is showing it nowhere.. :|
[MeMO Pad 7 General] vampirefo:
My tablet uses the 8723bs, I had to compile my own, haven't compiled Bluetooth yet. Still trying to get touch screen to work on mine.

So most likely you would need to compile your own modules.

If your distro already comes the modules, use modprobe to load the module.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] lambdadroid:
That's the weird thing, it does definitely include the brcmfmac module (and it is getting loaded) as well as the firmware for the chip (brcmfmac43362-sdio.bin). It's probably not working because of this weird error message I'm getting on start (in dmesg):

brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_htclk: HT Avail timeout (1000000): clkctl 0x50

I tried already everything I found regarding this error, but nothing helped. :|

Edit: Found this in journalctl:

brcmfmac_sdio mmc1:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac43362-sdio.txt failed with error -2
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mono0521:

I have been getting the... This package is for "K013" devices, this is a "K013_1". What line do I need to remove. I have removed a few and it still aborts.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] lambdadroid:
Only the first line..? Obviously the line reporting the error.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sutekh137:
As cyandro states, yes, just the first line. Please be sure you are editing the file in an editor that properly recognizes the line feeds and has word wrap turned OFF. Because you just want to remove the first actual line of the script, leaving:

show_progress(0.750000, 0);
if check_version()=="5.0" then
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/by-name/system", "0", "/system");
else
format("ext4", "EMMC","/dev/block/platform/intel/by-label/system", "0", "/system");
endif;
...

as the first few lines.

[MeMO Pad 7 General] thebulletfromhell:
Just a thought, instead of nuking the NAND to make space for Windows, why don't we just boot a Windows to Go, or even a full windows installation from the MicroSD slot? 16gb/32gb cards are cheap as chip these days, and at least WinPE boots, so WTG should boot as well.

[MeMO Pad 7 General] dms76:
I'm confused or missed the memo, how are you booting windows?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
The tablet uses a UEFI just like computers so it can boot other operating systems (and potentially custom ROMs)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] chancooluk:
I got my ME176cx a couple of days ago, and updated it to the latest software version straight away.

I'm reasonably happy with the performance, but I'm having issues with random reboots. It randomly freezes for about 10 secs and restarts. I have had this when customising the home screen, browsing chrome, playing YouTube, and I noticed it restarting while on standby.

It's driving me mad. Is this a common problem?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] zapz:
It's a problem that appeared when Lollipop update came out. In my case, I used to have it when doing anything, it just appeared randomly. After a while though, it started happening only when playing games, so I took it back to warranty and they reinstalled KitKat on it. Wanting to try my luck again, I updated it back to Lollipop and I still have the problem, but this time it rarely happens compared to how often it happened before (it's been 1 month since I took it back from warranty and it only happened once so far). Some people have this problem like you and me, while some people say that they don't have it at all...can't really figure out the cause of it.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Alexadro:
People please tell me where our UEFI in the chip or in the section on the disk? What we found out?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] chancooluk:
I see, is there anyway that I can downgrade to KiKat myself? The tablet was already running a version of the lollipop firmware when I first used it.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] thebulletfromhell:
This may come as obvious, but if you're attempting to boot Windows, keep a powered OTG cable on hand. This tablet is very finnicky (at least 2 people so far in this thread not including me has had the OTG power failed) and may drop at any moment.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] artpopboy:

In theory you should be able to flash the KitKat to Lollipop file and it'll work, as its a full reinstallation, but just in case, go into the other thread and flash everything from 182 to 201 first.

[MeMO Pad 7 General] sutekh137:
Are you manually flashing it, and is the error something about K013 vs K013_1?

If so, then you need to extract the zip on your computer, remove a line from the updater script, zip it back up, and use that to flash. Discussion of that is 4-5 pages ago involving me, cyandro, and someone named Gilly something...

Thanks,

Do I need a special script editor or modifying it with Wordpad will do? I tried to edit it because it gave me an error saying that my version is wrong, although it's the correct one and after removing the version check lines and trying to re-flash it using the temporary clockwork method, it gave me another error (it happened like 1 week ago so I can't remember what the error said but I think it might be because it didn't take my line edit properly).

[MeMO Pad 7 General] thebulletfromhell:

Try installing the kindle app, strangely enough all my reboots disappeared when I did that. I 100% doubt this actually fixed the problem, but it can't hurt.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sutekh137:
Excellent! I was going to say to be sure to use an editor that preserves proper end-of-line characters, and turn wordwrap off. Then, you just remove the first line only from the updater script.

Looks like folks already told you that, though. Glad it worked!

I wanted to make a guide, but I took it to the warranty as the lollipop didn't want to work (something with droidboot) and it is two weeks and still nothing. On the other hand, one Gig of RAM (even less) and nothing after XP will work smoothly on this setup. On another other hand, Windows 10 may be better optimised.

[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Reflash it, but try from TWRP instead of CWM and try the official links for Lollipop updates on ASUS' website.

First boot will take a while as well, up to 10 minutes. Subsequent boots will be much faster, faster than Kitkat was without anything installed.

EDIT: Nevermind, looks like you found the solution in the 5.0 brick thread.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] STcraft:
i just bricked my me176cx too... and the backup file is lost, i do have the latest update downloaded and put it on my tablet, adb is impossible since it only shows the first boot screen when i try normal boot, but fastboot is possible (bootloader). :confused::confused:

i do have a backup from the adb backup command, so there as a .ab file on my computer.

EDIT2: fixed the error, changed a line in the updatescript, update installed, a boot screen further, but now, its stuck on the second screen (asus icon with load animation) how do i fix that? adb still doesnt show up devices

[MeMO Pad 7 General] sutekh137:
Hey all,

I know I should read back through the thread, since this has been discussed, but it's such a generic problem that I'll be searching forever -- what do we do about the slow time bug? I am suddenly affected by it (or at least this is the first I noticed it) today. I rebooted, made sure I was set to get time automatically from the web, and I have lost about 21 minutes in the last 90 minutes of real time.

I am not going to do a factory reset. I'm done with that s**t. Can anyone tell me how to fix the time lag issue?

Thanks,

[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Look up ClockSync on the Play Store. It fixed the problem for me.

My clock issue's sporadic though, and seemed to fix itself, for some reason. I would set ClockSync to automatically sync every 30 seconds. After the problem fixed itself I set it down to 15 minutes.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sutekh137:
Thanks, jerbear.

This is crazy, though. I am staring at the main ClockSync screen and the offset is zero. I then go to ClockSync settings, and when I come back there is an offset -- sometimes an offset greater than the number of seconds I was even in the Settings! How is this possible? This isn't some mild drift, it is large, random offsets . In watching the notification bar, I get offset fixes of 17, 3, 10, 10, 10 every thirty seconds. Is this how bad it was for other folks? Any idea why it would start out of the blue like this? Very odd.

Just FYI, I am on the latest version of the ASUS firmware, and have been for a couple weeks now. This only started happening today.

Thanks,

sutekh137
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
That's how bad it was for me, hence why I left it at a 30 second interval. Hopefully it'll solve itself. Mine is usually very small now, about 0.002 seconds. The highest I had without the issue was 0.027 I think.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mono0521:
I had the same issue with the slow time bug when I upgraded to 5.0 the first time. Since the new asus upgrade I have uninstalled ClockSync and have not has any issue's with the clock at all. I will be watching for it now though.

If you will dig into the SOC and replace some small part of it with something you cannot buy in a store, then yes. But if you do not know it, and even if you know it, it is impossible to make this as human. but you can use a super speed sdcard an a kernel which can swap.

Been out of the country and off the thread for a while.

Came back to see the tablet had notified and downloaded the lollipop update again.

I had tried before but the update failed because I was rooted on Kit Kat. I was kind of surprised since it gave me the notification to update again.

Anyways, I tried to install the update, thinking something was going to be different and sure enough, it failed again on with the red Android.

I'm rooted, but have not changed any any system files or deleted any apps. I'm just rooted for purposes of running titanium and ad block.

Has the upgrade method changed any from the FLASHING every update from 182 up...?
