I am willing to sacrifice one of my me572c tablets to help unlock the bootloader. Can anyone help?

I had my older me572c repaired a few weeks before warranty was up (after battling for almost two months to convince them that it was under warranty and having the documentation to prove it). A couple of weeks after repair when the warranty was up, the same problem occurred (faulty digitizer).

The tablet works for most of the time, however, there are days when a dozen reboots are required before it responds. I've been able to get the data off the tablet.

Let's get this tablet unlocked so that we may unleash its full potential.

Lately my tablet's touchscreen has been unresponsive. It's working now. But I'm uneasy about it. Anyway to fix this?
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imwithid:
Can you be more specific? Is it the touch response that doesn't work?

In my case, it works most of the time. If I close the case (cover with side magnet to turn off the screen) or if its off and I turn it on, the tablet's touch interface won't work. I usually close the case, bang the side of the tablet and open the case again and this works most of the time. Other times, it requires a shut down and restart.

I had my digitizer replaced, however, this did not fix the problem in the long run.

I've been able to open up the back panel and look at a few videos online. I don't have the time to take it apart, nor the inclination.

Apparently, many of the components of this tablet are identical to the Nexus 7 2013 edition. If you can figure out the defective component, you may be able to replace it yourself. You'll have to be very careful with the back as you do not want to break it.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bryon15:
Yes, it's the touch response that doesn't work. It scared me the other day. I shut it off and turned it back on like 5 times before it started working. I wouldn't be able to fix it myself. I don't even know how to take it apart. I guess I would have to order the parts and then take it to geek squad.

Thanks to this post and this post from [MENTION=3531407]xda-log[/MENTION], and this post from [MENTION=1506211]SyCoREAPER[/MENTION], I was finally able to downgrade my tablet to KitKat and install a pre-rooted Lollipop firmware. Bloatware removed! At long last.

Geek Squad will either a) hand it back and go "I dunno, go buy a new one that we have", or b) **** it up even more. You're better off trying to go through Asus, or look for a reputable cellphone/tablet repair place in your area (but good luck on the "reputable" part).

That sounds similar to when I bricked my tablet some months back following a 4pda tutorial. I managed to get it repaired by Asus. In the work ticket they sent back with the tablet it said they had to replace a chip on the motherboard. That's when I decided not to trust 4pda until I saw your tutorial and felt like I could risk it again.

[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pWEN:
Have you tried reading the thread? Or even just updating the tablet? The last couple official firmwares have the tablet running Lollipop: https://www.asus.com/us/Tablets/ASUS_MeMO_Pad_7_ME572C/HelpDesk_Download/
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexridge:
I have read the thread, about 2 years ago. I know much as been added. I really have not been using this tablet much, expect for Google Now (while always plugged in) and my alarm clock. I had just recently purchased an HTC 10 and put Google Assistant on it, and was thrilled at the prospect of getting Google Assistant on this tablet as well. It is stock but rooted, so none of the updates will go in, to get me off of kitkat. I am not sure how to unroot it in order to take the updates. But it would seem that I would not be able too anyway, as all the tricks to get it to install on MM require root. I doubt I can get it rooted after it's updated. From what I understand, without resorting to learning how to speak Russian anyway lol.

If I were to replace this tablet with something much more modern, and ROMable/Rootable, what would you suggest?

thanks.

EDIT: Looks like they are even still selling this tablet. I cannot believe they have not updated it beyond Lollipop.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pWEN:
I don't have any suggestions on a replacement tablet. This is the one I use, and it still works great. If you want to get the newest updates, you will have to flash the firmware from the site I linked to before. Of course, you'll lose root, and so far there's only one way to get root on Lollipop for this tablet. You can follow the instructions I link to in my post here, or you can try following my own instructions, which includes links to the files you would need. I ran xda-log's instructions through Google Translate and compared them to SyCoREAPER's instructions, then wrote out my own based on them. As I followed the process, I tweaked those instructions to be as accurate to what I was doing as possible. It worked for me, but I can't give any guarantees it'll work for you. If you try it and get stuck, post back here and maybe I can offer suggestions.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexridge:
Without a clear path to MM, I feel no need to root this tablet anymore. I have Lollipop on it now. That will be fine until I can find another tablet to purchase, without a locked BL.

You rewrote my instructions, took files from my instructions and called them my own.

How nice! Can you still say that it was you made the firmware with voice calls?

And by the way, the pre-root firmware is no longer used!
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pWEN:
Calm down, and try reading what I said again. I gave credit where it was due (see that first link!!). I don't speak Russian, so I would have had to translate the instructions to begin with. And files and instructions go missing from XDA and other forums ALL THE TIME so I kept a backup. I won't apologize for that. They're YOUR instructions (as well as SyCoREAPER's) and YOUR files, I merely rewrote the instructions as I went in a way *I* could understand should I need to go through this process again. That being said, I haven't had to go through this process since rooting the tablet, so I haven't kept up with the latest methods.

For what it's worth I am very thankful for all the work you've put into this tablet.

Hi ! I followed your instructions. But at the end of the first part (downgrading to kitkat), the flash of MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip failed. And I accidentally pressed the wipe data option. Now I have a bricked device I suppose. When I turn on the tablet, the Android system recovery directly appears. I can update from ADB but the tablet isn't recognize by my laptop, and then ADB don't work of course. I tried to reinstall the drivers, change USB cable, change USB slot, don't power on the device during 3 days. But my tablet stays unrecognized by my laptop.

Please, what I Have to do to solve this ?
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pWEN:
If you're able to get into recovery, your device isn't bricked.

1. What version of Windows are you on, or are you on something else?

2. If Windows, have you been running the files as an administrator?

3. What error messages did you get, and where did you get them?

4. When the tablet is powered on and connected to the computer (again assuming Windows), what do you see the tablet listed as in the Device Manager?

5. Have you tried reflashing a stock Lollipop image? You would likely need the first Lollipop image that was available, rather than the latest one.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dykwia86:
1. Windows 7

2. Yes

3. Sorry I do not remember the exact message when I tried your method and specifically when the error occurred. It was a week ago. I just remember that occurred at the flashing step. So a message like "impossible to mount MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip". After, I did a wipe data (my bad) ...

When I try "adb sideload MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip", the error message is "device '<null>' not found".

4. I can see an "Unknown Device"

5. How can I reflash something if I haven't any access to my tablet anymore?

Thanks for you help
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pWEN:
What mode is the tablet in when you plug it into the computer and it says "unknown device" in device manager? Going by your previous post...

...it sounds like the tablet is in recovery mode. What options does it give you on this screen? You should be able to flash from here. You'll have to manually remove the SD card from the tablet and put it in your computer so you can copy the firmware to it.
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dykwia86:
Ok. It seems the problem comes from my SD card. I tried to flash with another card and It works. So I continued your instructions to upgrade to pre-rooted lollipop. But I have an error at the step 5 :

Reboot into Droidboot if it doesn’t do it automatically. Then select SD Download and choose it. If the install fails, run step 9 again, then try SD Download again.

So the flashing failed and I have to run step 9 again. But there are not any step 9 in your instructions ;)

Anyway I ran all part two again -> Same problem

After, I ran complete instructions (part one + part two) -> Same problem

Error message from recovery :

E: failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid argument)

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E: end of footer from /sdcard/MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip not 0xFFFF (Invalid argument)

SD Installation failed

[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pWEN:
Ah, geez, sorry about that. I've re-read those instructions several times and somehow missed the step 9 thing. It should say to repeat step 2 of part 2, which is "Reboot back into Droidboot. Go into the Upgrade Recovery folder and run Install-Recovery.cmd."

Okay, so you're able to complete part one successfully. You can boot into the OS, right? And it's KitKat?

I remember encountering that error message before, but I'd have to do some digging to try and find the solution, as I don't remember how I fixed it.

Just wanted to let you now, I followed these directions and they worked perfectly. I've always loved this tablet for its responsiveness and speed, but hated it with a fiery disdain for its bloatware and spamming. Now the tablet is perfect!

I just wanted to give some feedback to my experience with this process.

Part 1 Step 4. After completion it rebooted into Fastboot mode. Once in Fastboot I just moved on to step 5. It startled me a little because I wasn't expecting it; the instructions didn't indicate it would reboot after completion.

Part 1 Step 7. I received an endless stream of "Unfortunately, the android process acore has stopped" and "Unfortunately, the android process media has stopped" messages that cycled the tablet through an infinite reboot loop. a Factory Rest did solve the problem, as instructed.

Part 2 Step 5. Process failed do an authentication error. The system appeared to be trying to go through the Lollipop folder when it said authentication failed. I booted back into Fastboot, repeated Step 2 as instructed and immediately moved right into Step 5 after Step 2 completed. From there it completed without issue.

Now I have the tablet I always wanted. If i could, I would send you money!

Hi everyone, needless to say this thread has been a Godsend! There really is no information out there regarding this awesome tablet.

I have so far rooted using RootZenFone 1.4.6.8r : http://23pin.logdown.com/posts/230216-root-rootzenfone-14r

The rooting procedure was a bit wonky. Here is how it went for me:

1. Download the .apk from above link. I downloaded it directly from the tablet.

2. Go to your downloads folder and install .apk.

3. After installation, run it. Make sure to turn off wifi and forget networks.

4. Press "root" button on bottom.

5. After a few seconds I was expecting a prompt to reboot device but instead it kicked off a "demo mode". I exited the demo and rebooted.

6. After reboot I installed SuperSU from app store.

7. Run SuperSU, it may prompt you to install SuperSU binaries, do it.

8. Reboot and you should now be rooted.

Using Titanium Backup to remove unwanted apps was the next thing I did. I'm sure there are other utilities out there that do the same thing, I'm just used to using this one.

This is the part where you have to be careful. I only removed some of the Google apps as well as most of the blatantly obvious ASUS bloatware.

So, what if you remove the wrong apps and your ME572C starts to have issues (maybe you removed the ASUS keyboard and now have no keyboard). Fret not!

You can indeed use the stock firmware available on ASUS site: http://www.asus.com/us/Tablets/ASUS_MeMO_Pad_7_ME572C/HelpDesk_Download/ to set your device back to factory defaults. Flashing this .zip will also revert back to un-rooted state.

1. Download correct .zip. There are several versions available and they are device specific. I used Version WW_V11.8.3.30. Make sure you verify the SKU of your device and download the appropriate .zip.

2. Copy .zip to the root of your device. I did it all from the tablet. Downloaded .zip, used file manager to move .zip from Downloads folder to root of device.

3. Reboot.

4. After device reboots, you will get a prompt asking if you want to update device. Do it and you will be back to factory fresh, un-rooted status.

Hope this info is helpful to someone. Does anyone know if any of the popular recoveries can be installed?

Is it safe to perform an system update while the device is rooted?
[MeMO Pad 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scorpio16v:
If you are rooted, the risk is high, that the OTA update and the provided update from ASUS website abort the update process, because you have changed the system partition.

Unfortunately ASUS provided only an update.zip, that you can only flash directly from an OS bootable device, no PC flashtool and no real system image.

As long as nobody can confirm that rooting and further updates are possible, I don't root my device.

Unfortunately informations about the ME572c are hardly to find in the internet.

One question: We can reboot into bootloader or recovery with adb. Has anyone managed to boot into this on boot ? Power and volume up or down doesn't seem to work.

edit:

Found the solution:

- Press power until the screen flashes, release power and hold volume-up - boots into bootloader.

- in bootloader: select "SD DOWNLOAD" starts into recovery

fastboot oem unlock doesn't work. so no boot loader unlock. :(
