Right standard.

Go into the UEFI BOOT partition change on a bootable USB flash drive the bottom line and retain F4 there at the end is written and downloading now

:)

(Similar UEFI well, actually it's the same) - but the tablet another company

[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
So just change the boot order to have flash drive take priority?

This is very cool. I've got an old flash drive laying around. I'm tempted to load Xubuntu into it and booting it up, but I really don't want a bricked tablet.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] :
unfortunately my tablet is no longer sending any power through the otg cable so i cant access the bios any more. Dont know if there is a way to reset the bios now that i cant access anything except the fastboot in 3 2 1 menu .

Never mind , hacked together a powered otg and got it fixed :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Alexadro:
es set the priority in our flash section Boot

Yes set the priority in our flash section Boot and save and exit the UEFI by pressing F4

Well I don't think that windows setup can lead to discarding of the hooves of our tablet. Because this action does not stick to brick our computer. Well this is more of a question for ( social-design-concepts )

or write requests to support those in China. On Taiwan.

Well we are now afraid to lose android because then too lazy to recover.

And wait maybe there can be some improvements including UEFI

Recovery can be for example by copying the hard disk image. Further his recovery after formatting.

Similarly we should do with Windows. You can try to run

test Windows test programs. Or run the image installed

Windows operating system from an external HDD or SSD. or micro SD. :laugh:

Hi all, more adventures with the 176CX!

After the 5.0 upgrade, I did a factory reset and now the tablet cannot recognize when it's connected to a PC.

Charging works fine, but an actual MTP/PTP connection does not.

Has anyone stumbled across this?

I am considering to RMA the tablet for a second time.

UEFI

Please tell me : Yes or no we have the chance to get on a UEFI x86 bitness ?

Need or not for this to flash the BIOS chip ?

I think if you flash the BIOS chip you won't need to unlock the bootloader but can kick off your device sadness.

Interestingly there if you have a person having (programming device) then the rest can flash is capable of piercing through the program with android or even windows

And most importantly where to find such a genius with (programmer dishwasher)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
having root couldn't you just mount /factory read/write?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
I thought of that, but then I realized that the exploit uses getprop. We don't have the line in our build.prop that getprop uses to generate the key.

I'll try again when I get home regardless.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
Not all props are set by .prop files but getprop would tell you if you have that prop
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Well, it didn't work. :(

Upon entering recovery I was greeted with an "Error!" screen. The splash screen is still black.

I'm booting back into Android now.

EDIT: It looped back to the ASUS bootloader screen a little while after the boot animation started. I'm logcatting now.

EDIT 2: Disregard, it seemed to be an isolated thing. If anybody else wants to try the bootloader unlock, feel free to do so. There doesn't seem to be a risk.

Maybe if instead of booting to normal recovery we went into TWRP? Of course that's assuming it would carry out the recovery cache.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
I thought the instructions was to boot into droidboot
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Well that's what the post says (and I did boot into droidboot), but it also says "Phone will start itself in recovery, after updating itself phone will restart and ASUS splash screen will be white" so I booted into Recovery after that.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
Yeah it actually flashes an unlocked bootloader if.bin that came with that devices latest ota.

So the settings in your bios don't retain?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
I haven't been in the device's UEFI at all (unless you're referring to something else)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
1. It's not bios, it's not uefi bios, it's just UEFI !

2. Can anyone help me to get lollipop ? Booting to UEFI setup looks impossible on kitkat :(
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
Use root browser or so and create the folder /factory/asuskey manualy
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
If you read a little further you would've seen that I recounted /factory as rw and got the file to create itself, but it didn't work as their latest OTA had an unlocked bootloader come with it and as far as I know we don't have that.

Recovery immediately said "Error" and the bootloader was still locked.

My mistake dolphin doesn't do flash, and flashfox doesn't work either.

[MeMO Pad 7 General] acavan:
Yes, it doesn't work. When I open FlashFox a message appears saying "Warning. Nvidia Tegra and Intel Atom not supported" and then it crashes.

-------------------------------

I seem to have found a solution/workaround for apps disappearing on reboot:

I was trying to move apps to sd with different apps, with no success. But I found that Link2sd gave me the option to move apps to SD. BUT what it really does is not moving them to SD. It moves apps to /mount/asec.

That's where all the applications that disappearead on reboot had data writen to it.

I found, also, that all those apps appeared on Link2SD as if they were on the SD. So I moved all of them to Internal.

And it did the trick! Now applications don't disappear!

---------------------------------

I don't fully understand this thing about applications in /mount/asec, and the apparent "confusion" that link2sd has about /mount/asec and external sd, but it worked. And I wonder if anyone with a deeper knowledge about Android could use this observation to also solve the issue about not being able to move apps to sd in this tablet.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jordandroid64:
Hello, i'm interested by this tablet but i worry asus will not occcup the MAJ, do you think, she will have custom rom ?

[MeMO Pad 7 General] zapz:
Anyone tried the tablet with Folder Mount after rooting? Does it work?

For those that don't know, Folder Mount is an application (requires root) which makes a link between the internal memory and the Micro SD...moving big data files to the card and makes it seem like it's actually in the internal memory. Basically moves big data files to the SD card (like Gameloft games data,etc.)

Just curious if anyone tried it (I didn't root my tablet yet so didn't try it, that's why I'm asking).
[MeMO Pad 7 General] acavan:
It worked here! Big THANX!!

Have you tried mounting the problematic asec folder to the external SD?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] move_over:
Gpu is very good, I believe. Don't expect a rom for a while if ever. With root you can do a lot, if you're careful, to customize your device.

[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
The CPU is Tegra K1 level I believe, and the GPU destroys the 2013 Nexus 7.

If ASUS had aosp on this it would be relatively simple to port a custom rom. This is not the case.

Is there any way i can help with the partitions so you can get ClockWorkMod back in the works? i seem to have messed up my tablet but i still have adb access. if it helps i have fount a recovery filesystem table using: cat /cache/recovery/last_log resulting with:

recovery filesystem table

12 /tmp ramdisk ramdisk 0

is this of any help? anything i can do that would be?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
This helps SO MUCH! My guess is that

is the recovery partition.

Can you try the following commands in Terminal Emulator?

su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/intel/by-label/panic of=/sdcard/recovery.img

That should save a file onto your internal sd card named recovery.img. If you could upload that file somewhere and post the link I can unpack the image and verify that it is the recovery.

Best of luck :)

EDIT: I read over the part where your tablet is practically bricked. If somebody else can do that this could be a development breakthrough.

I meant using FolderMount to pair the asec folder with a folder in the SD card.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sutekh137:
Disappearing apps

I installed the 3c toolkit ("Android Tuner"), and when rooted you can use its app manager to move apps. I just moved Angry Birds Epic and Threes (it also was over in /mnt/asec) to "internal" storage. The apps work, and they were still there after a reboot.

Still seems very odd that a reboot nukes that folder (or makes it mount oddly, whatever), because I have read that is where certain purchased apps are supposed to install for security/purchase reasons.

I also used Android Tuner to get rid of a few system apps I won't ever use like the Kindle and Facebook apps. I can always reinstall those if I want. I left most of the other system apps in place because they aren't that big and might be something I would use someday...

Thanks,

sutekh137
[MeMO Pad 7 General] acavan:
Yes, it's weird. Moving to "internal" solves the problem, but I'd like to know why mnt/asec is being erased. Could this lead to other problems?

I tried and did pair asec to sd. The result was that the linked folder is being wiped now. What's more, if I try to revert back the process, uninstalling the apps thzt go to asec, then unpairing asec, and installing again the installation fails..

Any clue?

I had a similar difficulty with the app Shards from the Amazon store disappearing. When it was suggested to move it to internal, I had the same problem, there was some "remnant" of the app, and I couldn't reinstall it, or delete it from the Amazon app store app list of apps installed on the device. Clearing the Amazon app's cache and data didn't work, so I had to delete the Amazon app, then reboot, then reinstall the Amazon app. After that I could download the Shards app, move it to internal, and now it's all good. PITA though.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sutekh137:
That's a good question. One might worry that purchased licenses, etc. could go missing -- or does that all store in the cloud at the Google Play level? Not sure how all that works.

But no, it doesn't seem right that /mnt/asec is getting wiped -- even when you mount something else there via a linkage! Yikes!

Willing to Help

I am not an expert by any means, but before the root was released I was looking into the possibility of finding an exploit and used adb and fastboot a lot. if there is anything I can do to help and get this wonderful tablet a recovery and custom roms as well as some better support, let me know. :highfive:
[MeMO Pad 7 General] social-design-concepts:
1. Completely aware its just UEFI some people are not familiar with what UEFI is , most people have heard of a bios so using the other terms is to help noobs understand.

2. This device wasn't full UEFI / GPT until Lollipop it was OSIP / GPT on KitKat so it didn't have an UEFI firmware to access.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sistah:
Since the update of android 5.0, I experience some random reboots out of nowhere and since then, the clock shows the time incorrectly.

It's so annoying. I've tried the ClockSync app, clearing the clock app cache, changing the time zone, manually adding the time, enable/diasable the wifi so I can toggle the network privided time, hundreds of reboots but still no luck.

I can see that the time is somehow sleeping and gets out of sync from the moment I correct the time.

Any suggestions before I reset the tablet?

Im rooted btw.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] groovychap:
My tablet's been freezing and rebooting itself about four times a day since I updated to 5.0.

I also had the clock problem, but I was able to fix it with ClockSync.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] sistah:
I managed to fix it for a couple of days but after a freeze and reboot I never sync it again. It simply refuses to.

Most of the time it freezes while I'm texting via Viber or using the keyboard. Some times it reboots on games.

Same problem, lots of freezing and I also have to reboot several times a day. I thought the xposed "Fix Lollipop Memory Leak" module would help but no luck here. I'm also using ClockSync with a 30 seconds interval synchronization so maybe it's the cause?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Alexadro:
Hello dear social-design-concepts !!!

Hello dear social-design-concepts !!! Please tell us about our UEFI. What is known ?

I understand you can not correct the UEFI , or what is in it to change because it is locked bootloader.

Currently there are no possibilities to fix it , change it?

I wonder how it can be fixed by firmware there probably need a special code and get him out of the sewing of impossible.

Are you sure it was in a bootloop?

The first boot of Lollipop usually takes a while. Give it half an hour before determining whether or not it's bootlooped.

After the first boot, later boots will be a minute with a bunch of programs, about 30 stock.

Mine is rooted but it doesn't fix the random freezing problem. Using Clocksync fixes the time problem, but that's it.

Tried everything, don't know what to do about it... I would try to flash it myself through ADB, but I'm afraid something might go wrong and don't want it stuck in bootloop...

Clock Problem, my Partial Solution

BLUF: Try clearing the system cache and rebooting.

Longer version:

I was lucky, in that my tablet wasn't having any clock problems. I figured, perhaps, it was because I'd never rooted.

Then I got an update to the clock APP Saturday. Sunday morning I noticed that I now had the clock problem. I tried some of the solutions posted here, to no avail.

So I cleared my system cache (I use CM SWEEP, I'm sure there are other ways too). and rebooted and I was fine for the rest of the day, and until about an hour ago (say 10:00 local).

How do I delete CleanMaster.apk malware?

CleanMaster.apk was installed along with the lollipop OS update; not my choice but looks like ASUS made it "mandatory".

Uninstall don't work; CleanMaster.apk is in "/system/app/CleanMaster" which the user/owner (me) is not allowed to delete. Is there a way to change the ownership permissions without being in "root. I keep getting notified that an "update" needs permission for updating.

Google Chrome does the same thing in windows as one has to set ownership to Chrome before it can be deleted; as such I also consider Chrome malware.
