Oh, why didn't you say so. The first time I tried rooting my device went to demo mode too.

You can't render your device to a state where It can't be unbricked :). I actually deleted by recovery and system and now I dont have a recovery. I'm afread that not much people know about this http://www.google.bg/url?sa=t&rct=j...Y3aCDrcKDi_29LEyg&sig2=wMucJXIp_votOJdpQRdvYA. It is a temporary CWM recovery, that can be used for flashing roms WITHOUT bootloader unlock, so you can always flash the stock image. BEFORE you start be sure to go to WIFI settings and forget all the known networks, and turn wifi off. HIT thanks :)

Okay already.

I installed GNUroot form plautore and downloaded the x86 img from the app. It will unpack it to a folder. Here /data/data/champion.gnuroot/app_install/debian. Then you can chroot the img from the gnuroot app (use launch as fake root in anyncase!!!)

Then install a DE. I did so:

apt-get update

apt-get upgrade

apt-get install lxde-core --no-install-recommends

//

then download XSDL server from G.Play. Launch it.

then it gnuroot again type (xsdl must be runnong in background):

env DISPLAY=:0 startlxde

It will run :)

Hit thanks.

Yes, but you'll find that some things do not work, primarily with GravityBox since it's an AOSP-based module. You can't modify the battery icon (I wanted the circle w/ percentage, stays as stock icon) and the nav bar can't really be modified much other than appearance, and even that is iffy.

Had the tablet rooted with 199, use Titanium Back-up pro to defrost en freeze apps, defrosted all, updated to 201 and frooze all bloatware again, including the demo (filter is useful) and no problems seen.

Would advise to buy the pro key via their own site, as it'll result in a key that can be used on all devices, including those without google play or from other members of your family.

No, I was not rooted before trying. I was able to finally get it out of demo mode though and rooted using ZenFone 1.4.6r while on update 201.

I think that I went wrong previously by backing out of the demo video after kicking off the root process instead of letting it continue and just rebooting after the ten count.

[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerbear294:
Well, technically.

As you may know this device is locked down bootloader wise.

If you so a little bit if searching however, [MENTION=4821597]social-design-concepts[/MENTION] has made a temporary ClockWorkMod session for Intel Atom devices (think tethered jailbreak for iDevices) . It's currently the only reason my tablet is working after a failed attempt of clearing the cache.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seamo123:
Yeah, it's a real pity re. the bootloader thing, it kinda rules out custom ROMs!

I guess what I'm really wondering is, can I use the stock recovery to rescue the ME176c (or ME176cx, I honestly don't know which is which) if anything goes wrong? I'm running Android 4.4.2 at the moment. I can't update the firmware OTA, but that's not a big deal anyway, I've been less and less impressed with every Android update after Jellybean.

Here's the specs for my device (ME176c or ME176cx?):-

Model Number: K013

Android Version: 4.4.2

Build Number: WW-3.123.161

044000222_201403250253

Reason I'm asking about restoring the tablet is because I absolutely HATE the white UI, especially in the main 'settings' menu, and that'd involve de-odexing and modifying stuff like the systemui.apk and framework-res.apk, wouldn't it? There's some deodex tools out there, but I don't want to start screwing around if I don't have a plan b to fall back on.. ;)

My guess is, download the relevant firmware somewhere, get it on my SD card, and use the stock recovery to flash it? I'm a bit iffy about using adb to flash anything, I've never done it before.

P.S. Is there any way of enabling 'Mass Storage' mode on this thing? It doesn't seem to have it - a major, major, drawback as far as I'm concerned..

Hi,

If I turn off wifi, or reboot, I lose all the stored passwords.

I already checked the wpa_supplicant.conf and it was full of garbage (same information, over and over again, no ssids, nothing).

Any quick fix? Is it possible to freeze an app that will result in this kind of behavior?

Thanks,

[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lpinho:
Hi jerbear294,

now I made it worst, 1st I checked the permissions, everything is ok (I compared the permissions with another fully working android device).

The only thing strange is the content of the file, the content doesn't make much sense when compared with the standard file (again, comparing to a working device).

I installed and application named "FREE Wifi Password Recover".

I used a function "Reset wifi-settings" and rebooted and now, wifi is not working at all. If I turn it on, if will turn itself off, I never see the wifi icon, so, at this time I can't even turn the wifi on...

EDIT: One file is missing from the wifi directory (data\misc\wifi), the bin file (entropy.bin), I don't know if this file its a personal file, a driver of some sort, but its not in the directory, can anyone get me one from their K013?

[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerbear294:
It depends on how far the update went. If the bootloader updated there's nothing you can do from what I've seen. There is no way to get into the bootloader or recovery from shutdown as far as I can tell. I was able to get into it via ADB, but in your case this isn't possible.

I don't think there is.

We can try something however- shut off your device and hold Volume Up and Power. If a screen that says "DROIDBOOT PROVISION OS" comes up after the Asus logo you're good, just follow the unbrick thread instructions. If it just boots into Android, there is nothing you can do as far as I know.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckalicious:
Doing that simply goes to the Asus boot screen. It sits for about 30 seconds then reboots to the Asus boot screen. Have tried the clear utility but nothing happens. Just loops as above. Initially it was saying No Command but isn't doing that any more.
