i dont know what is drain battery in my me176c

Im root, use Titanium for freeze, Autostart, folderMount (its great) Systemclean. and have 63 apps installed ( 24 games as Nova 3, Bards Tale, Dark Meadow,GOF2...)

Screenshots
[MeMO Pad 7 General] pjim:
I think with a small clean ROM like CM11, this thing would fly. You could do anything you want. CM11 makes my M8 just zoom.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Just one problem- x86-64.

To my knowledge CyanogenMod doesn't support x86. I may be wrong, and I hope I am.

EDIT: I was wrong. Looks like there are CM11 builds for the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 which is based off of Intel Clover Trail.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] pjim:
If you decide to get one and need help testing or anything I'll be glad to help. I'm no developer, but I do consider myself to be a power user.

One day, I hope to learn enough to port ROMs at least for my stuff.

Is it possible root for ME176CX with new update? Can you tell me anything about this situation?? :confused:
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sistah:
Having some lags with the new update especially when I'm wiping apps from the Recent Apps button.

On some games where full screen was supported (clash of clans especially), the buttons appear in random moments and cant get rid of em on the first try.

I'm already disliking the update.

Hi guys need a little help same as everyone. Tablet update last night ..error failed went to recovery wiped cache and factory wipe tablet booted back up great... No sound at all nothing ...how do I reinstall the stock firmware via sdcard or adb cheers any help would be greatfull...
[MeMO Pad 7 General] chewbaccabe:
Hello,

For me it worked just by dowloading the firmware image (WW_V3.1.23.161) on asus support website. Unzippped it directly in my me176c sdcard then booted my tablet. The file'll be detected by your system and it'll ask you if you want to update.

Did this and i'm now full stock with .161 but unable to update to .182
[MeMO Pad 7 General] dog121:
Thanks I downloaded it last night I'll extract it on the Tablet and reboot ...fingers crossed...

Hisenese sero 7 pro??

I had that tablet (Hisense Sero 7 pro)for a year, I was running the taktik 4.4.2 rom when it crapped out. It would refuse to charge.:crying: I used the warranty i had on it to get the asus. This tablet is definitely faster than hisense. However it is missing gyro,(used every now and then) nfc (never used it on this tab), and tactile feedback (i personally dont care about it), other than that there isnt much.

Here is direct link to the 182 firmware:

http://dlm3cdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/ME176C/UL-K013-WW-3_2_23_182.zip

Download it, than extract it to the root of as card or internal memory (don't put it in some folder, system will not detect it there). Restart the tablet and upon booting you'll see this

Click it and wait

One last thing, it will wipe everything on internal memory, so make shure you backup all the stuff you need.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] move_over:
Still no root, though. I am conflicted as to whether or not do the update, I do like having root.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] ICavalera:

Could I ask you if you know if this site is good also for ME176CX or only for ME176C?

Thank you very much and sorry for my bad english.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] ICavalera:
That's the oficial site.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sutekh137:
In terms of software support, there is no difference between the "C" and "CX" versions as far as I can tell. The differences are in the cameras and default memory configurations, not any of the other innards.

In fact, if you select your tablet manually on the ASUS support page, go to Tablets --> ASUS MeMO Pad 7, the only choice in the list is the ME176C. So, it would seem any support files must also work for the ME176CX.

Hopefully someone will correct me if I am wrong...

Thanks,

[MeMO Pad 7 General] profee:
You are not wrong. All ME176 models use the exact same firmware.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] holden72:
Thank you all for answers.

I download latest firmware for ME176C and manual update: all ok (only lost root, and RootZenfone 1.4.6r did not made the work)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] ardicli2000:
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/ME176C/UL-K013-WW-3_2_23_182.zip

The firmware is uploaded to server. Download it and then copy it to root directory of your tablet. Afterwards you will have a prompt in notification center which will say "firmware file detected. Would you like to install?". Tap it and tap yes.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] peldo123:
Gyroscope...

It has rotation ofc, but a gyroscope is an all axis sensor, it has an accelerometer which allows to detect orientation. you wouldn't notice unless you play games that require one. I mean even asphalt 8 plays without a gyroscope. But there was one app i used that required the gyro on the hisense. Check it herehttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=opotech.image3Dlwp&hl=en

Other than that I never used Gyroscope
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Android L buttons? Is that part of the new update or was that a mod?

I'm not sure if it'll work, but has anybody tried activating SuperSU's OTA Survival mode before updating?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] ardicli2000:
It seems GoLauncher plus Android L Theme.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] profee:
It's xposed module.

It's Nova launcher. Go is pure bloated s**t.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Sirpld:
Still cant move apps

After the 182 update can anyone move app data to the sdcard?

For me it says it does but moves only a couple of megabytes and for games like real racing 3 its nothing, any idea? Im not rooted
[MeMO Pad 7 General] zapz:
You can only move the APKs (the ones that allow moving from the developer), you can't move the data unfortunately. But wasn't it like that on all android devices that allow move to SD? At least that's how it was on all of mine.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] holden72:
Right. One only thing: I think that it is necessary to unzip the file one time (and put ***-user.zip on root)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] ardicli2000:
You are right. My bad. Sorry. :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Sirpld:
On my smartphone only a bit of the data remains in the internal memory, for example ine the game real racing 3 1.4 gb is on the sd card

Guess i have to wait for a root for .182

By the way since i mentioned rr3 that game also crashes on me every couple of races, does anyone have it and plays it just fine?

Thanks

Hi guys,

I'm trying to take a look on my Me176cx tablet, trying to port CM11 on it... I have some little dev skills, but not so much on Android.

First problem, I cannot locate the recovery.img and boot.img inside the device.

Do you think I have to create a separate thread for asking help from other dev ?

Thanks. :)

EDIT : Ok, I've read the part of the thread talking about dev stuff and I think I found the recovery.img.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] HenryLeonheart:
Hi, I recently bought this tablet and tried the RootZenfone root method but now the demo app always appears when the tablet goes to sleep. It also says it isn't rooted. Can anyone help? The factory reset option doesn't even appear. :(
[MeMO Pad 7 General] nono83:
Here's for you, thanks to plopingo. :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sutekh137:
You can exit demo mode and see if that helps, try this link:

http://www.asuszenfoneblog.com/2014/07/asus-zenfone-demo-mode-deactivation.html

I had the same thing happen when I rooted, then unrooted, then tried to root again.

You can also get to a factory reset via pressing volume and power buttons as the tablet boots up, instructions for that are elsewhere on this thread (search for "factory reset").

Hope this helps!

Thanks

sutekh137

PS. By the way, I think you really need to honor the part about getting off the network entirely when running the RootZenPhone thing. Or else there is something else that makes it get stuck. But like I said, I had the same thing happen to me when I soft-bricked the phone by futzing around with platform.xml...
[MeMO Pad 7 General] dog121:

[MeMO Pad 7 General] nono83:
Yep, I've already take a look in the firmware but there's no recovery in it.

This tablet partitions seems to be hard to read, at least for me.

I've extracted a partition with "dd if=/dev/block/platform/intel/by-label/panic of=/sdcard/recovery.img" according to the page 24 of this thread but I cannot do anything with the file I got.

And if I'm right, we have to unlock the bootloader first to flash the custom recovery...

I'll try to continue my search. If you have any tips, they'll be welcome. :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
I've ran into the same issues.

We should ask Asus to release a bootloader unlock. Knowing them they'll do it, but only because it voids warranty and should something happen to the unlocked device they don't have to do anything about it.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] nono83:
I just sent an email to ASUS concerning the bootloader, just have to know what to do after that, if they're ok. :)

This tablet seems nice, some slowdowns on mine, but for the price I didn't expect to find a Nexus 7 experience.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] plopingo:
I think the tablet have a great potential when the bootloader will be unlock and installing custom rom ;)

Ona question, if game have MAli/Adreno/PowerVR/Others apk versions . Which must i install?

[MeMO Pad 7 General] plopingo:
Buy the app on the market ;) for game data cracked adreno/mali/powervr no one is working. you will see black a screen or glitch, unplayable.

Eventually you can try emulation apps like "Chainfire3D" but it's not working very well.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] profee:
Your best chance is Powervr, because previous atom generation and high-end moorefield chips have their graphics.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] plopingo:
clovertrail use intel hd graphics not powervr anymore
[MeMO Pad 7 General] profee:
I'm just saying that's his best shot. All atom z2xxx models use powervr, so maybe its compatible.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Unfortunately Chainfire3D hasn't been compatible with Jelly Bean up, and the alternative, GLTools, doesn't yet support x86..

Hi guys,

I encounter big battery drain since yesterday... Installed RomToolbox and frozen som apps but still have the CPU running at 532MHz all the time, the tablet's never go to deep sleep, Wifi On or Wifi Off...

As for the recovery partition, we need very skilled devs, this tablet architecture's very weird for me. I cannot get anything to work on. :(

Thanks in advance for any help and info
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
That's strange. Real Racing 3 supports x86. It shouldn't be crashing.

If you're trying to get GTA to run that won't be possible without a custom ROM that can emulate ARM.

Question :

1. Question : Guys what to do with recovery and how to install it ? 2. Question : Have you taken any steps to install Windows on ( me176cx) ? Surely no-one programmer for firmware chip 25Q64FWIG ? May be to take the BIOS from the asus vivotab note 8 ) and install on --- ( me176cx) ? ;)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Sirpld:
Unfortunally it crashes on me every couple of races, sometimes every race...

I havent tried gta, but rr3, redbull air race crashes all me all the time, should i consider trading it before the first 15 days pass?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] zapz:
Well the tablet is working fine, it's just that some games don't support x86 processors and the Intel HD graphic processor yet. I also encountered this problem with 2 games : Sonic Racing Transformed and Gun Girls - School Day Z...both of them crash when I try to open them. The game called Raging Dragons doesn't crash on opening, but it still crashes often (similar to your Real Racing 3).

The tablet isn't broke, it's a compatibility problem. If you bought the tablet for gaming, for certain games and you want to make sure they work, you should get an ARM processor based tablet. I bought it for gaming too, but in my case, most of the games that I wanted to play don't have any problems...and if 2 or 3 aren't working, I don't mind...the market is full of them.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bravesoul:
Soon, all but some old games will have x86 architecture.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] zapz:
On the other post regarding this tablet (named "How to root Asus Memo Pad 7 (me 176c/me176cx) " ), the user "GuyInDogSuit" asked :

Anyone still on 3.1.23.161? I contacted the developer of Root ZenFone and he said if he can get ahold of the OTA file (not the ROM), he might be able to figure out a way to root it.

He said when you get the system update notification, you can find the link to the OTA inside /data/data/com.asus.cm/files/tree.xml, but you'll have to be rooted to access that file.

Hope he won't mind that I copy-pasted here. So, anyone can help with this?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] GuyInDogSuit:
Too bad that's pretty much the only aspect of Xposed that works with this tablet. I couldn't modify the recents key or add a menu button no matter what I did.

Agreed.

I see there are a couple of you looking into the recovery image and whatnot, but we need to unlock the bootloader first. I wish it was as easy to do as it was with my Acer tablet or HTC One m7.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] profee:
until a week ago RR3 worked great. The thing is, last update messed something up, and it crashes periodically. It's not because of the chIp, it's general bug everybody is experiancing.

XCOM enemy unknown can't play at all ! crash very soon between the video introduction and the main menu. (it suck I love this game)

Monopoly crash randomly.

No issue with zombie city defense, farming simulator 14, redbull air race, true skate, ridge racer slipstream, asphalt 8, dragon quest VIII.

[MeMO Pad 7 General] ICavalera:
So why did you bought the tablet? Just to play with it?

Because, you all know that not every equipment can get all the way down on root, costum roms...

I've made root, removed bloatware, still a good and cheap tablet. Great and fast.

Just because can go through, it's better to go back?

I'm not saying bad to you on a bad way.

Just think, sometimes simple is better. (has I did)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] nono83:
No, just because I need a more "open" device, I'm kind of Android claustrophobic if you know what I mean.

More seriously, in my case I just really miss the feel of the N7 so this is why I'm not going to continue with this one. I've nothing against this device. :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] wbc1228:
Seems like a random generic reply from a customer rep.

Doesn't really hold much weight.......

(while it is not a good sign, there is still hope)

How was the older memo pad hd7 (ME173X) bootloader unlocked?

(did Asus released a way to unlock it/did someone figured it out?)

I believe the architecture difference between ARM devices and x86 devices means what works on one, likely won't work on the other. So however the other Asus ARM devices bootloaders were cracked, I doubt the same method will work on Intel powered ones.

intel is losing out.

Okay so basically we all know all the posh people that she their tablets for email and all their posh ass sh*t, they buy Ipads of course. Then it's people like us that want their customizations, the me176cx scores a 30,000+ score in benchmark while the Nexus is just 17,355.

Think about it, it the me176cx ran something like Cyanogen, this thing can do wonders,

I really hope they get a boot loader.

I can get to tree.xml that you mention and can put on Google Drive, but I am not sure how that will help root .182? Don't you need someone with .182 who still has root to do this?

Also, I am leery about posting a link to this file as I don't know what it does for sure. Does it have any of my personal information in it (encrypted or not)?

If this file is helpful, convince me it is safe to share or let me know what XML node to look for and I can post that specific snippet of the file. I'm not trying to be a prick or anything, just can't be too careful these days...

I rooted my phone using rootzenfone, then the accidental update to .182 and no more root.

I have attached some screenshots with this.

[MeMO Pad 7 General] move_over:
You have to try an app that needs root access, like titanium backup or root Explorer. Then when you start the app, if you get the supersu prompt to grant access, you're rooted. Or a message saying something like "no root detected"will pop up, if you don't have root.

Sent from my Asus Memopad 7
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Try installing SuperSU. What does it say?

All of your screenshots point to the same thing: there is still an SU binary in the system. If it's compatible with SuperSU you're in luck and you'll get root. Otherwise, SuperSU will try to make it compatible. If that fails, no root.

Seeing that you're already on the newest update it's worth a shot. You're not dealing with Rootzenfone anymore so you shouldn't get demo'd.
