No, that is for Ares 8, tells partitioning tool what size to make the partitions. That is not for your tablet, only use BatVille and suspersu from that thread.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
ok thanks, downloading, also you said i could use ares8 zip i have been using that all this time (with modified boot.img)

I didn't test how to install room via recovery, but I suppose that first you must clean cache via recovery,then unpack ziped file which you download from Asus support site. Then install from recovery with command adb sideload update.zip.

Update.zip is file which you get from unzipped file. You can install without rename ziped fIle.

Test it and leave feedback.

Yes,you must clear cache because in temp cache is last update file,which must remove only on this way.

[MeMO Pad 7 General] pjim:
I tried to get the system update, it downloaded and when it rebooted to install it, it failed and now the updater says I am up to date,

with the same firmware I had.

Well, several news.

News APPS : Data transfer, Remote Link and Share link.

Now i can move apps to SD / configuration / Aplications,
[MeMO Pad 7 General] ardicli2000:
I had the same problem.

And I checked the log files in /cache. It was saying that there was a md5 mismatch. Therefore the installation stopped.

I think the best way would be waiting for Asus to upload the whole firmware to its servers, and then we download and copy it to /sdcard.

The system will warn you that there is a firmware fire. Just tap to install.

That would be all.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] pjim:
I think you're right. They'll have it up tomorrow.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] profee:
Happened to me too. It stopped installation, and when it booted again there was a message saying that system recovered to its original state or something like that.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] ardicli2000:
[MENTION=3374013]profee[/MENTION]

It is a bad download, md5 mismatch.

Wait for the server update.

Do not do anything silly like i did :(

Now my notification panel does not work. So I will not able to update the firmware as I described above. Because it needs a properly working notification panel :( I wiped data for Settings Storage. Now every settings is gone together with a couple of important functionalities, such as noification panel and home button... :( :( :(

It worked. Thank you very much. :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] dexter20082001:
They have also added a memory booster in the toggle area. Works pretty well. Not much new about it compared to the task manager widget. It would appear we got some bug fixes too as well as the pclink and data transfer app. This little beast is getting much more attention then their other memo pads have. Its also nice to see a decent community/following behind it.

P.S: high memory usage and memory leaks seem to be fixed as well. I am currently using 100mb less RAM since the update.

P.P.S: They also added multiwindow mode like the Samsung devices and native movement of apps to sd cards

to the people who owned a cyanogenmod device, how is it different from zenui? Performance, design, anything, I never owned or seen cm rom.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
it looks a lot like aosp but with some features like theme engine
[MeMO Pad 7 General] vampirefo:
Use your own sbin files as well, you can use my adbd file though.

I would start with stock boot.img doing a logcat, then start moving files over to stock boot.img from Ares boot.img after a few tests.

I use meld on Linux to compare each file line by line in ramdisk, I do this for any device I port. I then make changes as I think they are needed to boot and test over and over til you get it booting.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
I had CyanogenMod 11 on my old Hisense Sero 7 Pro.

CyanogenMod is very similar to AOSP, so aesthetically it looks like AOSP- you'll get the same look as vanilla Android.

It's more lightweight than AOSP, so it's better for devices with less RAM (like ours)

It has more features, like overclocking (if supported by the kernel), on-the-fly CPU governor changing, much more customization, and even has root built right in.

It supposedly also performs better. I noticed this, but I'm pretty sure it was a placebo effect.

I have ported cm10 to coby tablet's in the past, Google and you can find them if you want, honestly I am no fan of cm.

how much time could that take?

[MeMO Pad 7 General] thebulletfromhell:
AOSP is lighter than CM. Everything is built up from AOSP. CM is "lighter" than stock AOSP ROM because of the bloated GAPPS

After we get actual cistom roms, can someome build android N (its out in preview builds on the nexus)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
you wont be able to build it until the source is released.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Even if you can build it, you'll have to do quite a few changes to the build tree and kernel in order to get a successful compilation.

Someone attempted to port the Android L developer preview over to my old Sero 7, but that was because it was available for the 2012 Nexus 7 and the Sero 7 uses the same Tegra 3. Even then, he only got a baseline boot working, and not much else.

None of the devices with the Android N preview use an Intel processor, except for the Nexus Player. However, its processor is Moorefield based instead of Bay Trail based, and the rest of the hardware is different enough that you wouldn't have a fun time porting it over.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
Any news?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] :
Well, the Android N is almost ported to our device, we managed to add an additional 2 GB of ram with downloadmoreram.com and the hologram feature is still in open beta, so it should be done in about 2 months or so.

As for Cyanogen :
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
i know whats downloadmoreram.com its a prank website i dont even need to see it.. just by the name it tells everything

That's the point, he was being sarcastic.

Android N isn't nearly ported to our device either :P

Just a heads up, yesterday I found something on our tablet, here's the video

https://youtu.be/NJrvoHF-5u4

Basically - when using the xposed module to switch between apps it has no issues, but God help us if we use the recents button, it kills the app and has to redraw it. Also, the quality of the video is only 360p i am sorry about that.

https://youtu.be/RWZgnqemi18 here is with the home menu, its like they are triggering the ram killer
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
Please read, I took my time to write this :)

So hello everybody! As nobody reports their status, I want to write something about my "something-like-a-dualboot" little project. Few months ago, I was facing an "invalid magic number" error with every kernel I wanted too boot with grub, except from stock android and kali linux copied from my thumb drive. Few days ago, I was again looking at it, and I found out Zarchiver app - altough it is nice - cuts the top of every file extracted from iso.

In this project, I wanted to make everything work without any additional hardware, like an Y cable. However, as I already got mine, I will write another part of my tutorial. The main problems now are two:

1. mmc driver is not modprobed, therefore you need to have squashfs on thumb drive.

2. X server says "not found any screens"

As of 1, I have edited initramfs, but it says "no init found", probably permissions got messed up becouse of myself doing it on the tablet.

Ass of 2, it should be possible to use framebuffer device as screen, later on try to use intel drivers intead generic ones.

If anyone is interested, feel free to let me know so I can force myself to write the instructions. It's not as hard as it seems, if it was I wouldn't be as far as I am.

P.S if anyone is willing to say that I am such a peace of noob and you know how to fix something, feel free to take me down :)

P.P.S I am making joke of it but I am sure it would hurt me

Edit: the takedown, not the advice

And no, I don't have my own PC/notebook/whatever

Yeah, if you could possibly join forces with [MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION] that would be neat. It would be nice to have a Recognized Developer helping out :)

I'm working on getting access to XDA's build server (my computer isn't the best, a compile WITH ccache takes a few hours) and I was going to attempt some things as well, so once that's granted I could possibly help as well.

I'm on the freenode now. At the very least, I'll check in once in a while, assuming I won't be able to help at all.

[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
Sorry for another long post, it's just more in one. Hope for non-critic reply :)

Hello, I wanted to ask, if there is someone willing to try fedlet. It's made for 32 bit UEFI, but the only bit amount dependent thing should be the bootloader, so you could try to boot it with a 64 bit grub.

I am asking becouse someone was asking if he can test the cyanogen so this might be somethig to test instead. To use grub, just find some binary (the one I use now is from some puppy linux iso loader, and put it in the Intel folder on ESP. If you have installed refind according to my guide, it will detect it and you can boot it.

Also some time ago, when people had erased their emmcs, they booted some linux doistro successfully. I would appreciate some help with setting up xorg - no screens found is reported.

As for my progress, I used Live Kali on grandparents' notebook to edit and repack the init script, this time without permissions getting messed up. I will try to boot it when I'll be debooting my tablet. Fingers crossed for init bootup, and of course for emmc detection :)

Just xorg startup needed then, and we have basicaly linux starting without any external device needed!

Of course touch drivers may be problematic, etc etc, but it will be ACTUAL DUALBOOT! With android being the main os, using 16 partitions, and other linux using none, but still..

So I really hope it will work. It's step by step, fhe first step being working default selection autoboot in grub.

How was the way to install firmware .36 with file update.zip? In which location had to put this file?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] :
As I recall in the /data I think, but you should download the russian .36, it has no bloatware.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Yeah, a slimmed-down .36 ROM was recently posted. Instead of doing that, flash the slim .36 ROM, either through temporary recovery or by installing permanent recovery.

To put the zip file via MTP, you need to launch your recovery. Nothing more. Temporary or not, doesn't matter
[MeMO Pad 7 General] russy23:
Or just install stock Rom and debloat. :)..and twrp recovery is still here
[MeMO Pad 7 General] rodrengo:
Please can you tell me step by step how install the zip via mtp in recovery? i have the file K013_LP_FW_LITE_2.zip in the external card...
[MeMO Pad 7 General] thegreatn_:
If you have no SD Card, you can download zip in to your computer and, after Internal Storage was wiped, you can transfer it to the internal storage to install. That's why it need. But, if you can install zip from SD card, forget about it.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] rodrengo:
Ok, so i install update.zip directly from external card.

Other question, where can i find the link and tutorial for install the last twrp recovery (not the temporary, the permanent)

I reinstall .36 and have the same issue, then restore the backup and still have the problem with buttons and notification bar... i don't unlock the bootloader previously, is for that?

I don't know how to solve it, i have to restart every time i need to go back

Edit: Finally, after restore other backup and repeat all the process better, i could run .36 with root, and bootloader unlocked.

Thanks to all for the patience

Now i'm searching the best xposed version compatible with this rom, one with no issues
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Beaver_XT:
What are the differences between .33 and .36?

I think the update popped up a few weeks ago but I couldn't update because I tinkered with system apps too much.

Now that I see the full image on Asus website should I update it from .33?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Opensystem:
Yeah, better battery and performance. Still root able and what not
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Beaver_XT:
Better battery, that's exactly what I need. :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Beaver_XT:
Awww sh*t... after update to .36 I use root uninstaller pro to delete unwanted bloatware (as usual) but the problem is now it doesn't delete the app as I found out after restart.

Even worse some of them immediately download back after I delete it.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
I'd download the russian lightweight .36 update, that would fix it.

I'm running it now, not only is all the bloatware gone but I have more RAM to spare.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Beaver_XT:
Where can I find it?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Good luck :)

Be sure to follow those instructions, as the installation process is slightly different than an update, and is more akin to installing a custom ROM.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] rodrengo:
The russian .36 isn't have any lag, is very fast, but in my case, the camera is broken, doesn't work

Where can i find an xposed functionally with this russian rom, and a good tutorial to install that
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Xposed works fine with the Russian ROM for me. Just download Xposed from the official page, and install it via TWRP. SDK21 x86 should do it (iirc)

Your camera isn't working? Same, I'm trying to gather information about it.

Did you upgrade to .36 before flashing the russian ROM? Also, does Bluetooth not work for you either?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] thegreatn_:
Just flash zip-file via recovery (link below) and, after reboot, install the apk-file. That's simple.

Do you need special stock ROM, who flashes via recovery?

I'm using Ubuntu (none of my Windows can access ADB and I don't bother to fix) and somehow I can't figure out the way to install Russian fw.

Never mind, last night I reinstalled .36 with the deleting 2 lines in script method and now as far as I can tell everything is working well even camera. Battery life is much improved.

I haven't tried Bluetooth yet though.

Hello guys

my me176cx died after I tried to start a USB with win10, I can not get in EFI and only chance I have is to enter by pressing all the buttons together in dnx mode (starting fastboot 123 ...) someone help me please to reset the efi bios?

[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Thanks to DNX mode, the tablet is unbrickable, but I need more information to figure out exactly what's bricked.

What does the tablet do when it boots up? Black screen, error message, what?

You could take a picture if you can't explain it. We need as many details as possible to help diagnose the problem.

Good luck :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] atomix85:
Thank for replye

when the tablet starts up I see only black screen and backlight is a second and goes out again if you load enough as soon as I connect to the PC, the display starts flashing, and turns on and off every 2 seconds but not check any ASUS logo, only if we press all three buttons vol + - and i go to pow DWX mode, so there is no way to improve the situation?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
What I'm thinking is that there's not a valid ESP partition image. [MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6013061]Mis012[/MENTION] know more about that than I do, so they can provide some insight, as well. There is, fortunately, a way to fix it.

Do you have Fastboot drivers on your PC? DNX mode has a crude Fastboot implementation to aid in unbricking. That should stop your problem of not connecting to the PC.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] atomix85:
then fortunately there is a way to deal with them ... Well !! thank you very much

I have installed the intel adb and intel isoc drivers do not know of any fastboot drivers, where is it?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
I will attach a zip file. You can use it to try to boot to droidboot. Let me know what it does. If it doesn't work, try replacing the bootloader with insecure one or the one fom .36 (if you were on 36) and replacing droidboot with the one from .36 (if you were on 36)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] rodrengo:
Ok, so i do the wipes (factory reset only?) and go to stock .36 (installing the stock zip from twrp), and then do all the wipes and install russian .36?

I had already tried so with the .24 and .33 files, I tried it with your attachments, nothing, same thing, the tablet is disconnected from PC and remains on starting fastboot .... etc etc, and to remake the connection I have to hold 10 seconds the power button :( .... I'm downloading the .36 see what happens ... if it does not fit in the alternative that I could use bootloader?

edit: I tried file from dowloaded .36 rom and same sort! lost pc connection and nothing happenes

edit2: I found around another efilinux.efi(teclates x98) bootloader but now I have this error maybe because it is not her ??
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
I have an idea. We can kill two birds with one stone- fix your tablet AND allow it to boot a custom ROM. How about that? :P

I have a thread here about installing an insecure bootloader. The instructions won't work for you, however, since your tablet's ESP partition is messed up.

Download the ZIP file from that thread, and try flashing the ESP partition included in there. If it works, you should be greeted with an "Intel" screen and you'll boot into Android. You could also flash TWRP from that thread, too, if you wanted.

how do I flash the esp.img files? I had already discovered this package but I have not figured out how to put the ESP.img files ....

[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Extract the ESP .IMG file. Inside that, in the EFI/Intel folder, is efilinux.efi, the file you need.
