Well, I just got this tablet today and rooted at build 158 I think and have since went through every update and am now on 198 and I'm still rooted and never lost it through any updates. I just used the rootzenphone 1.4.6.4r to initially gain root. I do have su pro set to maintain root through flashes but can't speak as to whether that's absolutely needed.

Off topic some but this is my first tablet and I love it so far. I'm not too turned off by anything Asus did with it though I would love being able to see CM or Slim. I already knew what I was getting into there though and the value in this one kept me from going nexus or galaxy, like most everyone else I'm sure.

reset to factory

I have seen many posts asking the same questions so I decided to post this in hope that it will be clear and concise:

To reset the me176c to factory after it has been rooted:

I used an app called Reboot Menu Widget *ROOT* by tmlhodge

run above app and select reboot recovery from menu then select ok

when the tablet reboots and you get to the 'no command' message:

press the middle of the sound rocker for abt 15 secs

after release it will come up with a hidden menu

use buttons to select factory reset/data wipe

when that is done press pwr to reboot tablet:

THIS DOES NOT UNROOT THE DEVICE!!!

To unroot the device I used the root explorer and looked in the folder /system/xbin/ folder and delete su file from here.

reboot the device and use root checker to see if it is rooted (mine was)

it will reboot into the main setup screen then do updates and root again

Hope this helps :)

going from .191 to .198

hey everyone,

I got this tablet for Christmas and thanks to the smart people on this board, was able to successfully root it. I'm on build .191, and everything's working great, but would like to update to .198 since it keeps root. I'm not getting auto updates, even though I unfroze all the bloatware.

Is there an "easy" way, or do I HAVE to downgrade to .182 and follow Slayers unbrick thread, boot in recovery, then flash up to 191 and finally 198?? (Seems like a lot of work, for what seems like minimal improvements from .191 to .198) -

First, sorry guys for asking this here. You can delete it or move it to other thread or a new one if consider it's a good question.

Bought a new ME176CX K013, to replace my older memopad HD7. and i'm allready concerning returning it to the store.

I'have a WIFI problem. I can connect to my "private" htc mobile phone, but can't connect to my Blackberry q10 "employe phone", and i use it a lot, because it has a 4gb data plan.

Does anyone had this problem? couldn't connect to some Wifi Spots?

Any suggestion??

I am using greenify as the above poster mentioned. It seems to help. I hibernate most of the apps unless they're ones I really want running. I haven't tried to underclock. Really I'm a bit underwhelmed by some of the performance I'm seeing. My Galaxy s3 feels just as fast or faster but it's rooted and unlocked on slim rom and overclocked so it's hard to compare. Battery wise though I'm seeing double plus what I get from my phone so I'd say that part is about what I'd expect. Battery usage is very subjective though, as is speed.

If you have uninstalled bloatware, the only method is going back to 181 and install the full rom. Normally downgrading is not possible but there's a workaround as explained in a previous post. If you have a fresh 181, then, updates to 191 and 198 are possible. You will have to rebuild everything again.

[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g3k:
I don't know whether frozen bloatware must be unfrozen before looking for OTA updates. However you may always try this: Find and download update.zip files (usually 60-70 MB). Put the relevant one on your Sd card and reboot. If the file is the correct one, the device will detect and ask you for the update. You can repeat the same until you have 198 installed. These updates do not reset your apps and data :)

By the way, you are on 161 and you can follow the basic method too. You can download and flash full 161 rom to see OTA updates. You will have to install all your apps after that.

And last thing to tell: Auto detection occurs only if the update file is the correct one, from your current version to the next. Otherwise it's ignored.
