I followed the same list. The update didn't show up until I unfroze everything. I did a batch unfreeze to save time so I don't know which one did it.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sutekh137:
It is this one:

DMClient

I only unfroze a handful (anything with a green Android dude in the icon) so I tried them all and DMClient freezing makes System Update go away, unfreezing it makes it come back.

I'd say just don't freeze any system app with a green dude in the icon or "client" in the name, at least not without doing a lot of testing.

(the list we are talking about can be last seen on page 109 of this thread...)

Thanks,

[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
I just got the scare of a lifetime.

I was attempting to manually update to .198 when the recovery immediately failed to flash the file. Afterwords I was stuck in recovery (reboot would bring me to recovery rather than the rom) . I panicked and thought that "no command" meant that the ROM itself was bricked. I had to calm down and I remembered that "no command" is the recovery.

I still have noob moments :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sutekh137:
So totally understandable, such moments make us all feel like we have put metaphorical crap in our proverbial undies. *smile*

Why are you having to update manually, if I may ask? If you unfroze everything, why didn't the OTA update work? I didn't even unfreeze everything, and the update worked fine OTA, root maintained...?

Thanks,

sutekh137
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
The OTA update went about a quarter of the way, errored out, and returned me to the ROM. The ROM thinks I am on the latest and in fact it greeted me with "You've successfully updated to 191". Update check shows nothing.

As for why it didn't work, I'm at a loss.

hi Pjim, how can you install Nova launcher? My tablet doesn't allow me to change the launcher in Home Setting.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] t68kv:
After installing Nova Launcher just press Home Button and you can now select the default Home Launcher.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] golizza:
Have you had this tablet? Asus lock everything. Press home only take you back to the default launcher.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] pjim:
I didn't do anything special, just installed it from the store. It's not locked. I had no trouble.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] pjim:
See, along with the Asus one
[MeMO Pad 7 General] t68kv:
That's why i'm in this thread and that's exactly what I've done to my me176.

[MeMO Pad 7 General] pjim:
I have, it didn't work. But it has been a while, I'll try again after work today. Maybe it's been updated or something.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] shawnsac2000:
I installed the latest Nova from play store, I was in NBA 2K app and when I hit the home icon. It came up to chose Asus launcher or Nova launcher. Right now I'm using Nova :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] shawnsac2000:
I tried the latest Rootmaster. And it detects the device. But no root :( but it did say try on on the PC it's more efficient. I have not tried the PC
[MeMO Pad 7 General] zapz:
Finally found a forum topic regarding root for this device! I bought it on Saturday and it's a great tablet! The processor is fast and the GPU is not half bad! Too bad there isn't any root for it yet...but hopefully there will be, soon.

Regarding the battery drain, I have that problem as well and it seems that the Android OS (Kernel) is the culprit that doesn't let the tablet enter Deep Sleep mode when it's on Stand by. I tried any possible setting (turned off location settings/changed wifi settings/turned off auto-sync, uninstalled google applications updates,disabled google applications, none of them worked). After checking on Google, I saw on other forums that other people have this problem on other phones/tablets as well...and they all have 1 thing in common: the devices run 4.4.2 Kit-Kat. So, yeah, it's actually a Kit-Kat problem that a lot of people have (also called Asus and they confirmed it as well). Some people managed to get rid of it by messing with the settings, while others exchanged the device and don't have the problem anymore...but most of them are stuck with the problem and waiting google/carrier/company update to fix this problem.

I went back with my Asus Memopad today and told them that I want to exchange it, hoping that the next one won't have this battery drain problem.

Exchange it or just do something about the OS, I don't really care, I just want it to work normally. It seems like it's also affecting the battery life when I'm using it, not just on stand by. Even only navigating normally through the tablet menu won't keep the tablet running for the specified 9 hours, that's for sure.

If anyone finds any universal solution to the Kit-Kat drain problem, post it here and let us try it. It's a waste to have a battery drain problem on such a nice tablet.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] t68kv:
After a long trial and investigation, I find leaving the WIFI on (regardsless if its not connected) and turn off the location or put it in battery mode would least consume battery and will enter deep sleep.

I've tried a multitude of gps fixers. GPS Doctor seems to do the trick in other tablets like my Bq Max2 QC. But, still can't get it to work on the chinese ROM.

Oh well, I'm cool with the WW.182 for now. I'll update to Lollipop once it's stable and there's root for it. Maybe we'll get a break and unlock the bootloader on Lollipop. (Yeah, I know, wishfull thinking).

Got a pretty darn score today on antutu benchmark. I used cpu master pro to tweak it from 1792 Mhz minimal up to 1800+ Mhz and I got 36585 points. Has anyone gotten higher so far? I froze pretty much anything with "ASUS" in it and erase everything with "Google". Except Play store, chrome and services.

battery charging.

Guys. What is the average charging time of your asus tablet. Mine was 4hours. Is it normal? Or im the only one whose experiencing this .
[MeMO Pad 7 General] siksy:
No more battery drain issue here after last update. . For 9h battery lost only 1%
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Ugh... Everything's unfrozen and the update still errors out a quarter of the way!

If it comes to it I'll try a titanium backup then a factory reset.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] kyriakos II:
if your problem is that the downloading of the update stops, try to reboot your tablet and it will continue from the same point that it stopped.

i had the same problem and the reboot fixed it..
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
That's not the problem unfortunately. The issue is that while the update is installing in recovery mode it errors out.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] GuyInDogSuit:
Happened to me, too, and I couldn't get it to pop up again, let alone try again. I even wiped and downgraded to .182, and now it won't update to .191. Does anyone have the .191 update zip? Nevermind, I found it.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
The only reason I could retry is because it's posted a few pages ago.

I tried clearing dmclient cache and data, but that didn't work either.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] acavan:
I had a similar problem, the update didn`t complete because Asus Mirror I had removed Asus Mirror. I restored it from a Titanium Backup copy, but OTA says now that I`m up to date. I also reinstalled v184, no change.

I downloaded update.zip for v191, and placed it on the root of internal SD -also tried on external SD-, but nothing happens when I reboot normally, and nothing happens in DROIDBOOT, same thing on recovery.

Is there any special procedure for updating from an update.zip?

Thank you!

Use Slayer's unbrick method to flash that OTA file. I just successfully did it with .191 and .198.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
I did. Same thing happened.

At this point I'll just downgrade then flash my way up.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] GuyInDogSuit:
Weird. Maybe that's why it worked for me.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
That's what I'm thinking.

Does downgrading wipe the /data partition?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] MaDDaWg836:
Hey guys, i just got this tablet a couple weeks ago. im rooted and have .198 on it right now. I installed hearthstone but it lags and crashes pretty bad :( hope its fixed.

anyway without going through 100+ pages, how do i get to a clockwordmod type recovery for the tablet to make backups and maybe try a custom rom? ive looked

online for a while but cant find anything.

(I'm pretty familiar with rooting/modding androids as i have 2 phones with cyanogenmod on it.)

Thanks.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Flaxe:
Did anyone successfully update to the latest version even though you're rooted and have some Asus apps frozen? I've read the last couple of pages but it feels like most of you only have issues with trying to update :P

From what I know there are no custom recovery yet, and therefore no custom roms and so on since we can't flash them anyway.

I could be outdated but that's the last thing I heard, unfortunately :(
[MeMO Pad 7 General] MaDDaWg836:
aw that sucks. hopefully something will come out now that more people have it since it was discounted. its still a great tablet for the price. at least its rooted!
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bravesoul:
This topic has been around for a while and still no joy. Unless any of you can find a way to unlock the bootloader, all we can do is search the web to try to find any solution that fits a recovery or a cooked rom. I bet that if this tablet had a cooked rom, it could easily get 40000 points on antutu benchmark!
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Alexadro:
windows - when?

Hi Guys !!! Well, that is already broken botloader ? Well, that already can follow any responses to install Windows? for asus memo pad 7 (me176cx)?:confused::confused:
[MeMO Pad 7 General] GuyInDogSuit:
We've gone over this already. We are NOT interested, nor can it be done at this time. Let's focus on unlocking the system bootloader, NOT replacing it.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
I MIGHT be interested in a Windows-Android dualboot but that's not possible yet nor is it high on my priority list.

JerBear. You ought to know by now that on xda everything is possible! And if it isn't just now, it will be soon. ;)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
I just applied 198 manually after factory resetting and installing 182. I can stop stressing :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Flaxe:
Did you factory reset while at .191, and then manually flashed WW.182? After that, did you update to 198 through OTA or did you manually install .191 and .198?

Did you use the method posted here?

Thanks :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Yes, yes, and yes.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] pjim:
How did you get the file? after mine fubared the update I can't find the file.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Flaxe:
Hm... I was installing the WW.182 zip file, and it immediately failed to flash and now it says "No command". I saw your post about this here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57550427&postcount=1178 So, this is the recovery I suppose. But I can't really figure out what to do from here.. my computer is not recognizing the device so I can't use ADB Sideload or so.

After some time (a minute or so) it automatically rebooted and now I'm back in at the android home screen, still on .191 :/ What did I miss?

It was posted some pages back, post #1169.

I don't know the cause of it, but it seems to be some freak occurrence. Try it again and it should work.

EDIT: nevermind that. I think you may have forgotten to extract the 182 file. Extract the update and rename it to update.zip

Both 198 and 191 were posted a few pages ago.

Oh... lol! I didn't realize there was another .zip file inside :eek: I've extracted it now (UL-K013-WW-3.2.23.182-user.zip). So this is the one I should rename to update.zip and then flash :)

Edit: Yes! Now it works :) Booting up with the .182 version now. Should I install the newer versions through OTA or manually by flashing the zips?

Nvm.. i noticed OTA won't work since it still think I'm on the latest version :P

I got it all working now, running .198! Thanks a lot for your help jerear294, not sure what I would've done without you! :)

Ok, now keep it safe. Update to 191 or 198 if you wish.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] hansennn:
I have me176c with version .191, and I want to update it to .198

But I've rooted before and removed some useless system apps...like facebook, asusdemo etc.......

so, when the update comes up in the system information's update menu, I agreed to install it.

Then download updates.... and reboots... and displayed error on update progress!

So I think the file check routins... It seems to be like below..

I assumed that I put the file in right directory, update will not occur error.

And I put the files with Root Explorer, and checked update again.. in system information's update menu.

But there's no update! it says it's already newest version! it's still .191............

What can I do for 198 update?

Is there only way to flash .182 sideloaded rom?

Is there another way?

Many thanks. :o

Wifi problem 802.11n

Hello everyone, i recently bought this tab and its not working in 802.11n, it just cant connect to it (Saved, WPA2), but cant connect. After i change settings to 802.11 g/n it connect with 54 limit.

I have 8gb version, anyone have same problem? It wasnt working on default ROM and it still not working after i updated it to 198.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Sounds like you've got a defective unit. My internet is 802.11n. Bright house advertises 150 mbps but I easily get into the 90s.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Flaxe:
I download the .191 and .198 zip files and moved them to the /data folder. After I put them there, I first renamed the .191 zip to update.zip and followed these ADB instructions. About the ADB command instructions, the "adb remount" command didn't work for me. I'm not entirely sure if it's necessary, but I wrote "mount -o remount,rw /system" after entering the su mode. The exact commands I entered was:

adb devices (to ensure the device is recognized by the PC)

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

echo 'boot-recovery ' > /cache/recovery/command

echo '--update_package=/data/update.zip' >> /cache/recovery/command

echo '--wipe_cache' >> /cache/recovery/command

echo 'reboot' >> /cache/recovery/command

reboot recovery

After the .191 update was installed, the .zip file automatically got removed from the /data folder. So then I renamed the .198 zip file to update.zip and ran the exact same commands again.

I did all these commands with the PC. I never used a terminal in the tablet. The only thing I did in the tablet was to move the .zip files to the /data folder using ES File Explorer (with root access).

The only way that worked for me was to flash the WW.182 rom, and then when it installed I flashed .191 and then .198. I did this using the exact same commands and method as I described above. I didn't have to sideload the CN rom or anything like that. When I flashed the WW.182 rom, my root went away, so I had to install root again by using the RootZenFone 1.4.6.4r apk.

The charger that comes with this tablet isn't very good.

I use a 2,1A charger from BQ. It can fully charge the me176c in about an hour. Just don't buy it on a Chinese store. Those suck and can short your device. For good!
[MeMO Pad 7 General] namenick16:
O well thanks for your reply. Can i use a charger with the same capacity as the one u are using? Isnt it bad for the battery of the tablet?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
In order to comply with USB standards, the device's USB port must be able to accept a theoretical infinite amount of amps. I use my old Sero 7 Pro charger. It's rated at 2 amps and charges the tablet in ~1 hour. Just make sure that the charger you are using has the same voltage rating as the OEM charger and you'll be fine.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] namenick16:
Im really frustrted with my tablet. It always took too long to full charge my tablet. Can i use my samsung travel charger with 5v~2a.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] JaY_III:
All USB devices must be 5V.

USB 2.0 is only rated for 500mA

USB 3.0 , 900mA

That's the standard.

However, that would take ages to charge our USB 2.0 device so we use a non standard current. But Voltage must stay the same at 5V.

However nice a quick charged is, it wrecks havoc on the life of your battery. So if you have the time, the nice slow charging will give you the best battery life in the long run
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bravesoul:
About battery life, you're absolutely right. It shortens. But usually we don't get any device more than a year, so... Not an issue for me. I know this isn't a very environmental policy, but then again, why do we buy tablets, smartphones, smartwatches and phablets when we have at home a nice laptop? ;)

Hey guys, i have .198 and tablet looks rooted but when i try to access /data/data system directory it says "access denied".

[MeMO Pad 7 General] Flaxe:
Install a proper file explorer, such as ES File Explorer. After it's installed, you have to enable the Root Explorer feature, which allows you to access the root/system of your device. You can follow these instructions on how to enable root explorer. Remember to install a SuperUser app such as SuperSU also, in case you don't have one already.

On the other hand, can .198 be rooted with rootzenfone?

After flashed 198 with zip file, root has gone. :(
[MeMO Pad 7 General] MaDDaWg836:
i rooted the tablet when i first got it i think it was 182 and have done OTA updates to 198 and it has stayed rooted. not sure why you would lose root, its possible the manual flash does a clean wipe/reinstall where as the OTA does updates. (im just guessing)

as i'm not finding it

any chance to change my me176cx chinese rom to an english one with some google apps in it ?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bravesoul:
There's always a chance. But the CN ROM is specifically made not to include any of Google's apps for a reason. So they went to great lengths to make a version that couldn't be restored. That puts things in perspective, doesn't? The cn ROM is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more stable and faster than the WW ROM! If it wasn't for the GPS module not working at all, I'd forgo the google apps altogether! Too bad we can't port the GPS module. I've used antutu benchmark on both ROMs to see if there were any differences in scores. WW.182 got 36000 which is great, but CN.182 got almost 41000 points which is amazing! And may I remind that the fastest of all devices on antutu list is presently 48000+!
[MeMO Pad 7 General] artpopboy:
CN is only in chinese or support other languages? thks
[MeMO Pad 7 General] ICavalera:
It happened to me also. But root was there. Just lost Supersu. So I went to playstore and installed. All went fine.

Also reflahsed 182 to get all asus apps. Then, flashed 191 an the 198.

All apps, just freezed all I don't and so far so good.

Hope in the future be able to get ota update with all this work.

By "collecting feedback" they probably mean something along the lines of the data sniffing you can agree to when setting up the tablet.

Hi forum, I need some help.

I rooted the tablet with zenfone and installed TWRP backup and accidentally clicked on boot to recover. I got the android mascot on it's back with a "no command" under him. After that I rebooted, but nothing shows up, only the backlight turns on. When I try to power it down it turns back on again. I tried slayer's unbrick method but it it's not working. (downloaded the chinese FW, unzipped once, placed on an sdcard and pressed vol down + power). The tablet cycles (turns the backlight off/on again) but nothing shows up. Any ideas?
