To get out of the demo mode:

- http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2014/05/asus-zenfone-demo-mode-deactivation.html

I had .182 installed, and wifi turned-on by itself (didn't noticed there was a setting of auto turn-on wifi if Google apps required connection), so I "bricked" mine.

I just followed the instructions without any problem, but at the end, it resets the tablet and I had to re install all the apps, nothing major, just a time waster...

Hi,

can you tell me were the updates are posted?

Thanks

The updates to the Root application? They're posted here : http://www.asuszenfoneblog.com/search/label/Root ; but the one that GuyInDogSuit linked isn't posted yet. Shaka gave it to us first, I guess he's gonna post there when he releases a 1.4.7 version.

Edit: Oh, I just saw now that someone posted 1.4.6.4r in the comment section of the 1.4.6r thread.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInDogSuit:
I did.

Currently upgrading the firmware, first got the 158 update, this process seems to take forever, a lot longer than I saw on any of my android phones, but well, I know its a basic tablet and not a rocket fast one so I can understand this part, will report back once I'm on 182 and I try to root it correctly.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInDogSuit:
There's a lot of crapware on this device so when they update everything a single OTA could be several hundred MB. Can't wait to get CM on this tablet, a full ROM build of that would weigh less than an OTA update from ASUS!
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcdodge34:
I know its not related to root but anyone can suggest a good app or task killer that won't cause major problems, also a good ram optimizer would be nice to have handy, never needed one cause there's a good one on my Galaxy S4, but on this tablet, I can't seem to find a ram cleaner and app killer to see what apps are active...

1.4.6.4r works for .182

Hi,

just tried version: 1.4.6.4r it works for .182!!!

[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcdodge34:
Thanks for the quick infos, won't bother trying the root till I have some success reports here, don't want to brick my 150$ tablet. Just for infos, the OTA were smooth and I'm now on 182 without problems.

Hi,

I've got a me176cx and the .4r version root worked for .182.

First the demo thingy appeared (I though the root failed), waited 10 secs then rebooted and my tablet was rooted.

No more "Not enought space" message :)
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcdodge34:
Main issue is I have the ME176C not the CX version here if I understand what is involved correctly the 176CX is the same as the 176C except it got crappier camera with only a 2MP camera on the back and a crappy 0.3MP on the front, note that for me this would make a big difference, I plan to use skype with my mom with this tablet while they are on their mega USA road trip next year so I need some decent front camera so I can video chat with her easy.

Side note here, with the 182 update, it seems to have corrected the very slow wifi speed I had, couldn't get more than 1-2 or 3MBPS on the stock 151 firmware and now with speedtest, I get my full 20MBPS download speed and 10MBPS upload.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lpinho:
I doubt you'll have any problem with the cx version, everything is the same except for the camera, in these cases the brands usually ship cameras from the same brand to building different software for the c and cx versions.

But its your choice off course :)
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInDogSuit:
The rooting process is based on the firmware/software, which is the same for both the C and CX versions of the tablet. You'll be fine rooting with this.

Source of my failures?

After failing to root build 158 with the RZF 1.4.6 build, I upgraded using Asus built in upgrader to build 161 and attempted to root with build RZF 1.4.6. I still failed. I have tried multiple times, allowing multiple time intervals between when I push the root button on RZF and when I restart.

If I don't leave enough time it captures the device in demo mode and when I reboot it is still in demo mode. To recover from this earlier, I was doing a complete system restore via the droidboot into recovery method. I recently discovered that I didn't have to go through all that, I could simple rerun the RZF application when the system would restart in demo mode, the RZF app would run for about 4 seconds and display a failed message. I could then restart the tablet and I would now have the "Factory reset" option under "Settings>Backup and reset" and could simply reset that way to break out of demo mode.

Thinking that this new RZF version 1.4.6.4r is successfull with build 182 I thought I would just move forward and try my luck with it, especially since I saw where plopingo posted: " click root, wait 10 or 15 sec no stress if it's 17sec or more then reboot and enjoy." So I thought this might resolve my apparent inability to just hit the sweet spot in my reboot timing. So I upgraded to build 182 and attempted with RZF version 1.4.6.4r. And I still didn't get root according to JoeyKrim's "Root Checker" app.

So I was thinking, maybe it has not been my Build #, Version of RZF, or restart timing that has prevented me from being successful. Maybe my tablet is missing something that the RZF needs to run the exploit. The reason that I am thinking this is, if I run the RZF application and do not restart eventually it gives me an error, "ATTENTION: Warning: APD or ADF does not exist or not have the right to access. "

I checked my file structure for my tablet using the built in file browser and it lists my accessory Micro SD card as /Removable/MicroSD however it list the internal storage as /sdcard/ with Android, Download, Movies, kindle, etc... listed as subdirectories. However, there is no /sdcard/ADP nor /sdcard/ADF subdirectory present. Does this mean I am missing some of the "demo stuff" that the AZF exploit needs to run successfully?? Could someone please list the dependencies that RZF needs to complete the exploit?

Can I get these dependencies from within the WW.....182 software build on Asus's website? If so what are the names of the specific APK's I need to pull out and install. Thanks for the assistance on this thread, Even though I have rooted android devices before this experience is making me feel complete noob! heehe.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInDogSuit:
I've gotten that error message before, when attempting to root .182 before the new RZF release. I also have those same directories. You're not missing anything, dude. Your tablet just hates you. lol. I'm kidding.

The process worked the first time for me both times that I've rooted, and I simply turned off WiFi and forgot my networks, then started the rooting process, counted to ten, held the power button, tapped reboot, and done. I don't get why it's not working for you.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfravenous:
hopeful and struggling

I think my tablet really does hate me, LOL! The nice thing is that at least with build 182 even without root, I can put 3rd party apps (Aldiko, with a lotta books) on the accessory MicroSD card and I don't have to worry about that data as I keep attempting to root the little booger :fingers-crossed:

Can anyone verify a root detection tool

Hi, I am still attempting to root with RZF 1.4.6.4r on build 182. Can anyone that has successfully rooted with that combination confirm that the Root Checker by Joeykrim does in fact correctly detect that the device has been rooted... I would hate to think I have been actually attaining root and the problem is how I am testing to determine if I have rooted or not :)
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zapz:
I just rooted it a while ago, had no problems, SuperSU was there and I also used that Root Checker to make sure. It requested permission and then the message that it's rooted appeared.

What I have learned in my failures

Ok, I still haven't gotten root but I have learned something new in all my failures.

I started with the RZF 1.4.6.4 apk and installed it. I can't seem to get the timing correct so I decided I would just start with a short time and increase so I started with a 1 count and then rebooted, when I rebooted I didn't get root but was in demo mode.

I learned that to get the machine out of demo mode all I had to do was rerun the RZF 1.4.6.4 package and let it fail and then reboot, after the reboot it was no longer in demo mode.

I would then run the RZF app again, count 1,2, and reboot. Then after reboot with no root, would run the RZF app let it fail and then reboot and I was out of demo mode.

I would then runt the RZF app again, count 1,2,3 and reboot.... I think you get the picture... I was just trying to get the timing correct, but so far have never been able to do it.

BUT here is what I noticed, after I got in my numerous trials up to the point that I was counting 1,2,....15,16 at about 15 or 16, but the time I hit the reboot and it rebooted the little blue demo square had been visible for a brief period of time. and the system upon reboot would NOT be still in demo mode and I could just run the RZF app again and try again counting one number higher.... well I keep running these trials counting all the way up to 35 but have still not achieved root according to Joeykrim's Root Checker (Thanks to those that confirmed that it would in fact correctly indicate if I had gotten root).

It seems from everything I have read on here, that the time I need to catch the reboot is right about the time the message pop up in the black window that "you have activated this offline demo successfully" I have in my counts and trials I have hit the mark before that, I have hit right before it, during it, right after it and quite awhile after it...

I have to think there is something else going on that I am missing or I have the most unrootable tablet that Asus has ever produced, LOL.

I can't really help you out since I didn't try to root my tablet yet, but just to make sure here, are you 100% sure you followed the steps including the turn off wifi and forget all the networks it has in memory before trying this...
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfravenous:
Don't even have a network to forget.

I have wifi turned off, and forgot the only network it was ever attached to. I loaded the RZF apk, to the tablet via a usb cord that is disconnected during my trials.

I have fought with this thing for three days now in my spare time and I am officially giving up.... If someone puts out an IDIOT PROOF (I am obviously an idiot when it comes to this) NO FAIL, simple root package for Kit Kat 4.4.2 like the old Poot package that rooted the 2.x versions of Andriod, then please quote or mention me in this thread because I would love to have my device rooted, but I really just can't spend any more time on it until, there is certainty that I can just run an app and gain root like I used to do with Poot.

Made 182 manual update.

Then install RFZ make the root, restarted after ten seconds. And got root.

Removed the bloatware... And till now. Everything is OK.

For me, root OK on 182. I'm using Me176c version.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcdodge34:
Just curious to know what kind of bloatware is safe to remove without risking brick the tablet or one of his core function, tried to remove some useless stuff once I've rooted my galaxy S4, and it turns out, most of the stuff can't be removed, I can't even remove a golf game that takes more than 300mb of space, seems like this game hide an important service, I had to restore my phone once I took the game off it, the screen wasn't responding or anything, I had to remove the battery cause even the power key didn't react at all, so if I want to avoid this with my new tablet, it would be nice to know what can be removed and how to do it safely, I used Titanium to do it on rooted my Galaxy S4, perhaps this app is too powerful and remove stuff it shouldn't.

Still waiting for at least 1-2 confirmed root on 182 on ME176C before I try to do it on my tablet.

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)

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHeavy2011:
1) I'm aware of the Verizon version of the Moto G being a ***** to root but what about the Boost Mobile version? Does anyone know if that Towelroot app can root it? I have a Macbook so I'm kinda screwed if it can't.

2) I also read some comment about an app being able to unlock bootloaders somewhere. Can anyone confirm if this works on the Boost Mobile Moto G? It doesn't matter to me personally but it may to anyone who stumbles across this post. Also, what is that app called? I only want to use it as a wifi only device, which leads me to my next question.

3) CAN it be used as a wifi only device? I know with the Verizon one it "requires" activation but you can easily bypass it. Does that same method to bypass it work with the Boost Mobile version?

4) Say I do root the Boost Mobile Moto G. If I uninstalled Activation.apk (or whatever it is on the Moto G. It was that on my currently deceased Galaxy Victory 4G LTE), would that make me have to only bypass activation that first time (barring it doesn't "have to" be activated)? If I ever did want to activate it I'd just flash the stock rom, which leads to another question.

5) Does it have to be unlocked to install a custom recovery? If that app doesn't unlock it I'm kinda screwed there too again for just me having a Macbook. Well not immediately screwed but in the future. Kitkat is fine for now but we all know things aren't good enough when things get better in the future.

6) Currently what is the highest android version the Boost Mobile Moto G can update to? I *think* 4.4.2 but I don't know. Is it stable enough for daily use like wifi working fine and things like that? Also, I saw somewhere the Boost Mobile Moto G is getting Android L can anyone confirm that?

7) The least important question but does anyone know if Perk TV runs smoothly on it? Perk TV has these issues about only running smoothly on some Android devices and roms. It ran perfect on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 on 4.1.2 but it literally can't run 5 minutes on a 4.2.2 rom that I found on it...

*Note* Whoever sees this doesn't have to answer every question, just what you know would be much appreciated. I want to know a lot because I see it on Amazon for only $79.99 and it seems like a steal
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDA Dark:
I'll keep it TL;DR.

1. Yes. Boost Mobile one can be root and bootloader can be unlockable, etc. Search Moto G forums how to do it...

2. ^ Go here https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a

3. YES. Don't need to be on service.

4. ^ No need to uninstall any apk to use as Wi-Fi only.

5. Yes. Re-read 1,2. Unlocked to install custom recovery, etc.

6. Idk.... No need?

7. Idk.... No need?

8. 4.4.2 for Slow Boost Mobile Update (JK). Android 4.4.4 for Boost Mobile flashed to Verizon (Optional, You can flash service to Page Plus, too. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2681166). Android 4.4.4 for the Verizon Moto G version.

9. Idk... Don't use that.

Post should be in 'Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting'. I Owned the Boost Mobile Moto G, flashed to Verizon Android 4.4.4, using Page Plus for service (It's cheap plans for people like me, whom don't talk much). Kthnxbi.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHeavy2011:
Thanks but there's still some stuff

1) Thanks for confirming it can be rooted but I'm still wondering about if it can with Towelroot. I will search around on the forums about it but from what I've seen in the past most android things like rooting and custom recovery can only be done on Windows, not Macbook.

2) Thanks for the link. Motorolla actually helping you unlock your device is great. I guess no need to try that app.

3 and 4) Thank God it can be wifi only from default. That alone makes it worth the $10 more it costs on Amazon for the Verizon one and root is great too.

5) I thought it had to be unlocked for custom recovery but I've never had a sim card phone so I wasn't exactly sure.

6 and 7) I sound so stupid. I forgot Odin and Odin 3 is only for Samsung...

8) Well is there a big difference between 4.4.2 and 4.4.4? I've never flashed a device to a different carrier but I could try here if/when I get the Boost Mobile Moto G.

9) Many don't so I don't an answer for that question from anyone.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Awesomeslayerg:
I can confirm towelroot dose not work on this boost Mobile device. Tried it, and it just reboots and do sent root it. Just a tip. If you are going yo buy this phone get s otg drive from eBay. Most are like $20. There is no SD card support. 4.4.2 is the highest bit email Ed boost when we are going to get 4.4.4.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHeavy2011:
Damn then I really don't know how I'm going to root it... Do you know if framaroot works on it? I looked at a rooting guide for it and it says it's for Windows so if no app can root it then I don't know what I'm going to do regarding that. I guess I'll do a lot of Googling. I am guessing there's a program to flash custom recovery for Motorolla phones like Odin for Samsung. I've never had a Motorolla phone so I really don't know much about any of this stuff yet. I'll start tomorrow. I need to go back to sleep. I never even heard of an otg drive until your post. I actually saw a 16GB one on Amazon for about $8.50. I'm guessing you can put an sd card into it? And if you can do the files on it show in Root Browser and other similar apps like it does for a built in sd card slot?

I have so much to learn...
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Awesomeslayerg:
Otg USB flash drives dont need SD card slots. Just plug them in and that's all. You need to plug it in to your PC to unlock it first then root it. Otherwise you won't be able to root.

All chargers have 110V-240V input range, and any usb charger can charge the phone. Check the output amps of the charger, if its lower than the stock charger then it will charge slowly, if its higher than the stock charger then it would charge fast but could damage the battery life as well. Otherwise any USB charger will works fine just after market cheap one may does short-circuit or over heat issues.

Hey guys,

I've been searching for good cheap phone that could last me a whole year. From what I see from ROM threads and YouTube, this device is still pretty active and also is capable of gaming pretty much most of the hardcore game titles like MC5. I don't like the Moto G very much because of its looks and display and camera and pretty much alot of stuff.

Since all of you here are Galaxy SII users, I have a question, is the phone still worth to buy? Is it still good and is this your daily driver? Thank you so much :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chairmansaab:
If you really into hardcore gaming, then go for Moto G (adreno 305) it'll give you a little more fps to play games smoothly. MC5 runs at 30fps on my S2 with occasional dips to 19fps @ high settings. Apart from this , it still holds great potentional to run almost any app you throw at it. Really awesome.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TiTAN-O-One:
What about the Galaxy SII HD LTE? Specifically the E110S. I know the screen is very low res but is the Snapdragon S3 and Adreno 225 chips capable or better than the Int SII? The phone is okay but the ROM development there is so little. I don't think theres alot of ROM for the E110S too.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knuckles1978:
The s2 is still a great phone which can handle pretty much all the new games at a decent playable frame rate, especially with a good custom kernel that lets you overclock both the CPU and GPU.

If you're on a budget, then it's one of the cheapest and most capable phones there is. Worth buying IMO.
