Windows ---- me176cx

:D Ребятишки!!! Ищется подопытный кролик. Которому мы прошьем bios от ASUS vivo tab note 8 в случае неудачи подопытный должен будет самостоятельно вернуть планшет в исходное состояние либо отдать в сервис. От подопытного кролика требуется только Root и может ложиться спать. Остальное мы сделаем сами. С помощью TeamViewer. :)

:D The Kids!!! Searched Guinea pig. We will prochem bios from ASUS vivo tab note 8 in the case of failure, the test must be independently return the tablet to its original state or to give in service. From a Guinea pig requires only Root and can go to sleep. We will do the rest. With TeamViewer. :)

[MeMO Pad 7 General] dms76:
Are you sure it's bricked? I did this with my yesterday a couple of times. I found an article that told you which keyboard commands to press to get out of it. Lol of course I can't find it when I did that to mine again. I just kept pressing keys until it worked. I think eventually it may even restart on its own and load normally. I'll see if I can't find that article again to see it helps.

The other way I got out of the boot loop was to turn the tablet off by holding down power for 10-15 seconds.

Hold the VOL+UP and Power until see the bootloader screen and select reboot.

Edit: [MENTION=2685592]bravesoul[/MENTION], tryhttp://www.asuszenfoneblog.com/2014/07/asus-zenfone-6-double-wipe-tutorial.html See the command way down the page that says "No Display Interface command to enter, do not panic, this is normal, proceed as follows: Long Press the volume down key, press the volume up key, will enter into the recovery mode, as show."
[MeMO Pad 7 General] move_over:
that's an odd thing, I haven't seen it with mine. The only ui glitch I've seen is when I tap on one of the folders I've made-games, tools, whatever-it opens up, but the apps and the box are very faded, almost to the point of not being able to see them. If i tap the screen somewhere else and tap the folder again, it's ok. Happens every once in a great while, and doesn't seem to be any real problem. if you enable developer options you can try changing some of the animation scale settings, that might get rid of it.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] zapz:
Will try that, thanks :)

Edit: There are 3 animation scale settings, set all of them to 2x. Let's see if it changes anything.

Another question now, for those who use FolderMount (hopefully there are people who do) : As I mentioned before, one of the reasons why I wanted root the most was to be able to use Folder Mount. For those that don't know, it's a program which enables you to move data to micro SD and the system will actually think it's in the internal SD. It doesn't change anything to the system (usually), it just creates a link between internal and external to make the data on the card readable. The thing is this : When I opened the app it told me that it can't write to external SD (probably because of Kit Kat permissions, didn't have this problem on other devices which had 2.3.6, 4.1.1 and 4.2). After that it asked me to allow the application to patch the system in able to solve the problem..and so I did. After a reboot I was able to use the application normally.

My question is this : In future updates, will this patching affect the update procedure? Like an error/soft brick/update fail.

Just wanna know if I should restore the default system/bin/sdcard (the file that was patched, FolderMount keeps a backup of the original one) or not before doing an update. I know I'm asking this question kind of early, since the next update will probably take a while to be released, but I think it's better to know everything beforehand and be ready.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sutekh137:
I made no changes to build.prop and did not install any of these other apps, and I was still not able to update OTA from .161 to .182. I'm still rooted on .161, but will try manual update after I do copious backups and have a chance to download the firmware file.

All I did on .161 was remove some bloatware apps. I think that is all it takes to make the OTA update not work right.

Thanks,

sutekh137
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bravesoul:
No kidding. The first time, a me176c, was my fault, I kinda tampered with the build.prop using rom toolbox and it just died on me. Loop asus logo eternaly. But this second time, I only did a full wipe and then updated. It hanged, but it did that when I updated from .151 to .161 so I just turned off and on again, and it started to update again, and again it hanged. The third time I was updating to .182, poof!

I dont care, I'm gonna turn the tablet to the store and get my money back. Thanks.

It's bricked. Just loops over and over when I press the power button. Thanks for the help, I appreciate.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] move_over:
If you can convert it back by restoring the old file, I would do that before trying any future OTA. Who really knows why a lot us that were rooted couldn't update OTA? Maybe it was because of deleting apps or changing certain files. Can't hurt to revert, you can always run the patch again(assuming root holds).
[MeMO Pad 7 General] unlikelymist:
What do you revert back?huh

INFORMATIONS for people who want a bootloader unlocker by asus.

I think if WE take all of us 2 or 5 min to send a request to asus about this, maybe it will work an this, it's just an idea but personally I've send the message.

You can send request here : http://vip.asus.com/VIP2/Services/QuestionForm/TechQuery (you can send the request on the my asus app on your tablet too)

Plz take 2-5 min if we all request, maybe they will do something ;)

For people who can't understand what's going here,

Here is my message I sended: "Have you any plan to release a bootloader unlocker tool for this tablet, we all need/want to unleash the power of this beast, thanks in advance Julian"
[MeMO Pad 7 General] move_over:
I sent a request already, got this response

Dear Bill,

Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service.

Too late for me but anyways, great tutorial suketh137
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sutekh137:
Thanks, bravesoul. I really just combined what other folks have already done and said, and decided to wait out the update. So, it looks like a tidy little summary when standing on the shoulders of giants. *smile*

Sorry to hear about the issues you've been having... :( But hat helped with my steps too -- it's why the first step was to back everything up, sometimes in multiple ways! :laugh: I like using the ADB method of backup up games, because then I can restore the data even if I can't get root back...

Thanks,

sutekh137

PS. I went ahead and rooted -- went fine. So now I am on .182, rooted...
[MeMO Pad 7 General] move_over:

about modded google play it work like a charm since i'm rooted 0.182 ;) 5.x.x modded not released yet btw
[MeMO Pad 7 General] zapz:
Since we're back at the Google Play discussion...why won't our device's Google Play update to 5.x.x? At least mine doesn't...when I click on the version in Settings, it says "Google Play is up to date". Maybe it isn't made available in my region yet?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] plopingo:
You need to update it manually with google play updater

ASUS ME176CX Battery Drain

I had the same problem of fast battery drain - 40% loss overnight. I was disappointed. It seemed that Power Management kept turning itself off. The next night I tried airplane mode, turning off radios. The overnight drop was only 12%! So I figured WiFi and WiFi dependent apps were not sleeping or preventing sleep. I'm not rooted yet. Waiting for a final verdict on xx.182 before I update and probably root. I'm on xx.161 now.

I also installed Greenify which hibernates manually or automatically (ROOT) any apps you designate and/or that the program finds running and suggests they be hibernated. In KK 4.4.2, the automatic hibernate is "experimental", but it seemed to work OK (see UPDATE below).

So last night with Greenify running, the battery drop was only 5% overnight after turning off screen (sleep). Rooting is supposed to improve Greenify's ablity to reduce battery drain. Its not just WiFi I discovered, its the associated apps that turn on the screen when you are sleeping and/or simply run the apps that keep CPU running.

Thanks to all the members who have been working on these ME176C/CX issues!

UPDATE:

Greenify

does NOT work properly on unrooted ME176CX. It does not hibernate, but gives you option of manually force stopping the app. Not good. Further, Greenify tries to get YOU to force stop every few minutes. If you ignore, it turns screen off and goes back to "sleep" for a few more minutes. This caused WiFi to be on 100% and CPU running at 532 MHz at a cost of about 3%/hour in battery life. In fairness, Greenify does point out that aiutomatic hibernation is "experimental" due to limitations of KitKat 4.4.2. They do say that a rooted device works properly. BTW, good battery monitoring app - Gsam Battery and for CPU, CPU Spy Plus.

Tonight I am trying AutomateIt with scheduled disabling of WiFi for 12 hours. I'll update when I have the results. This should work better since Airplane Mode worked well. I just want power management to be automatic like it is supposed to be.

UPDATE 10-16-14 I didn't try AutomateIt. After reading @zapz post again about WiFi ON, I decided to try that, and it worked very well - just 3-4% battery use over 8 hours. That's a 1/10 th of my results after I bought the tablet. Here's what @zapz says:

"For those who have the battery drain problem, here's how I stopped mine : I have Wi-Fi always on, I've set the Asus Power Saver to the second option "Extend battery life but leave network always on" , in the Wi-Fi Settings, uncheck the "scan for networks even if Wi-Fi is off" option and also set the "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" option to "Always". Ever since I did this, I get a 2-3% battery drain in like 8 hours of stand by. Turning Wi-Fi off brings the battery drain back." Pretty much my experience as well.

(Maybe not......?) Clearly the best option is to ROOT and use a good power manager. I've rooted several phones and tablets, but I'm still a little leery of using the ZenPhone 1.4.4r (x.6r). I'l;l eventually cave!

I don't see any info on xx.182 as far as battery life. Is battery any better with xx.182? Thanks.

Huge battery draining(

I have a similar problem. The battery discharges at 5-10% per hour. All applications are closed, Wi-Fi and G-sensor turned off, screen turned off. My tablet does not enter into a deep sleep. I can not understand why. Details under HIDE:

In this topic, I found this screenshot:

I made ​​a similar screenshot:

My tablet can't enter into a deep sleep. Please help me solve this problem.:(:(:(

I have WW-3.2.23.182 firmware, rooted, clear (bought this tablet 3 days ago).

this battery drain is very strange, I don't have any issue at all regardless wifi/blutooth on/off etc..... consider maybe some device is ****ed up. have you tried ton contact asus ?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] dexter20082001:
I must say I find these battery drain issues odd as well. My tablet get about 3 days of life with moderate to low use. It drains maybe 5-10% at night.

Ya, like I said, I don't get those issues. Never really have.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Hag77:
Somebody recently recommended to try leaving bluetooth on all the time- just as others had suggested leave wifi on all the time, etc etc.. I've tried it all and nothing works. The only thing that makes the standby battery *decent* for me is to just turn on airplane when I'm not using.. That would totally suck if I actually used this device for email/text notifications, etc- but fortunately I don't so this is a decent solution for me- although far far from perfect.. Really hope we nail down what the problem is 100% someday..
[MeMO Pad 7 General] plopingo:
I think maybe some device have issue or bad installation of the rom (factory reset/wipe not doing properly etc....)

updating to 182

hi, im in .158 with root, i wanted to use the multi window of S4 googling for it took me to xposed and i ended here, after reading that some modules doesnt work and installin exposed u could bricking you table i decided to update to .182 but then this guy brick it doing a simple manual update... so i after tried for 100 time to do an OTA update i thought maybe is the root that makes this not work, so i do several facrory resets and wipe cache, im still rootin and cant do an OTA update (its says YOUR UPDATE / CONNECTION PROBLEM)

so... what can i do?

how to unroot?

has anyone tried xposed on .158 and xmultiwindows?

do i have to udpate manually to .161 and then to .182 to make it safe?

thanks in advance!

ps: is there an android alternative for the well remembered and loved INSTALLOUS of ios?

EDIT:

ok, after reading somewhere in this thread about UNROOTING, i did it from the SUPERSU app, unroot, reboot, and WOLOLO the OTA UPDATES were working again, first .161 then .182, i was convinced i was completely unrooted, but.... supersu its still installed, rootchecker, cpu-z they all say im rooted.... i have no idea what happen, i just wanted the multiwindows :)

Many of us have same battery drain problem-no deep sleep. .Mine me176C was 15 days at asus's service and they conclude that battery is faulty-so they replaced battery. That supposed to solve the problem but it didn't. Still battery drain during night(when not using) is present (4% per hour or 32% per 8 hours).Only if Bt is On or Wifi is On drain is significantly lower(3% per 8 hours). Asus service didn't help and they don't won't to replace my unit as faulty one (they need proof from service that device can't be repaired in the reasonable service period which is 45 days)...Asus's suggestion is to wait android L.. They don't believe me that battery drain is common problem in our devices! Maybe we need some kind of voting or petition to open asus's eyes.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] zapz:
For those who have the battery drain problem, here's how I stopped mine : I have Wi-Fi always on, I've set the Asus Power Saver to the second option "Extend battery life but leave network always on" , in the Wi-Fi Settings, uncheck the "scan for networks even if Wi-Fi is off" option and also set the "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" option to "Always". Ever since I did this, I get a 2-3% battery drain in like 8 hours of stand by. Turning Wi-Fi off brings the battery drain back.

Also, it seems that most of the devices have this problem. I had another Memo Pad 7 before this one, I went and exchanged it with a new one because the old one had the same battery drain problem, I thought it was just a unit problem, but this one has the same issue. After receiving the new one and saw that this one has a problem as well, I called Asus and told them about the problem. They said it's something normal (are you kidding me???) and that there's nothing they can do about it and the only thing I can do is to wait for an update that could possibly fix this. So I continued to try different things (disable certain applications, try different settings combinations, everything I could think of), but nothing worked. The only thing that worked was what I wrote above : Wi-Fi on with those settings.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] dexter20082001:
There is clearly something getting lost in translation, but you are repeating yourself and giving out false information. This is for legitimate problems and ideas. Now please stop with the spam. Bios and boot loader are different. There is already a bios on the system. You do not want to "replace" the boot loader with a bios. We just need an unlocked boot loader. It is locked as it will only run what has been signed by Asus. Asus has not released an unlock and no one has found one. Also, it would be severely irresponsible of anyone to let someone unknown access their tablet via team viewer. Once ore please stop. You are not contributing to this discussion.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I was able to get working drivers by installing Cydia Impactor. It's one of the many rooting programs I tried. It will install them automaticaly. I have fastboot and everything working.

I use Windows 7 64.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] salekojot:
Bad news for now!

The drivers works on windows 8.1 x64. Only when I install on my computer, must run on compatibile mode for windows7.

Now I made zip file for rooting, but public key for Asus from frimware file did not pass in recovery. I will ask people for help on their thread.

If someone have softbrick, the easly repair OS. First you must download firmware and download Driver, then Android tolls. Those files put in one directory. Install drivers. Upack all zip files.

When you power off devices press volume- and power to start recovery, then press voulme - and volume + and you have menu . In menu you can select install via adb sideload. Then you install adb interface driver and start open.cmd. Type "adb sideload UL-K013-WW-3.1.23.161-user.zip".

On that way you will install latest rom for our devices.

Hey all,

My Acer A100 died yesterday, just couldn't read or mount anything, even in TWRP recovery (not even the external SD, so I can't do anything AFAIK)...

Bought the ME176CX from Best Buy and I like it. Nice screen, snappy, 16GB internal doubles what I had before, and I need that microSD (I miss HDMI out, but that seems to have gone the way of the dodo).

Tried MyBackup Pro restore and of course still have lost all my Angry Birds and Jetpack Joyride scores (except what syncs online: AB, ABSW2, and Epic). That sucks. What is the point of backups, anyway, if one requires root just to get full data backed up and restored?!

I can't even find USB drivers that work from Windows XP, though the Android File Manager works fine from my Mac Mini. Can someone explain where working USB drivers for WinXP are (there is mention of ADB stuff working -- how do I install that)? I can't find USB drivers it in the ASUS download page for this model. Help? Sorry for all the noob questions...

Will be keeping an eye on this thread for root, because I want my my Angry Birds stars back! *smile*

Thanks,
