I was wondering if anyone can help me. My device has the 182 update with root. I have deleted some system apps but now I regret it and want to restore to a fresh state. I attempted the steps the op mentioned but when it reboots to recovery, it just gives a big Error! symbol and reboots back to OS.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] JaY_III:
If your currently on 182, download from Asus the full 182. You can use the same version you have and do not need the CN version.

Then simply follow the unbrick guide.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bravesoul:
And it works? No memory problem issue?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] JaY_III:
If your in the same situation as the guy I quoted yes, that's exactly what I did. As long as your tablet is in working order, you will be fine. Reflashing the 182 restored all my saps apps I removed. Then I simply manually updated the other two updates.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] caiefh:
hey i have a question what is the difference between CN ROM AND WW ROM?

i have WW ROM V3.......182 and this is the latest version i saw in asus website. i cant find the 198 version...i tried updating it but it keeps tell that im still up to date.

is 198 version is really an update from asus or it is a custom rom?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bravesoul:
I see. I just thought one had to go to CN 182 and then WW182.

There aren't many differences. To my knowledge it's only the inability to have google apps (including play store) and the gps module that wont work at all. In fact in my opinion the CN ROM is very stable. Perhaps the most stable ROM for this tablet so far!
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bacon vest:
First post on the forums YAY! But not really. Came to this thread to force the update to the newer firmware and now I'm seeking the titles remedy. Can get into fastboot, but upon selecting recovery I just end up with an error screen with the android laying over dead or whatever. This ain't my first rodeo (Inspire 4g, and Nexus 5 both rooted and flashed with various roms) but somewhere something went wrong even with copying and pasting those commands... Am I screwed if even trying to get into recovery fails, or can i repair using fastboot commands?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bravesoul:
Getting the error with the android laying dead is normal!

Once it gets there, just use the two volume keys altogether in the following combo: volume down + volume up. Press, not click untill the recovery menu shows up!

Having a bit of a trouble

Just got this tablet. I'm trying to go from WW.124 to WW.182. Just rooted with RZP 1.4.6.r, root checker says root successful, but I can't copy the update.zip to /data. ES File Manager says open failed: EACCES(Permission Denied) when I try to paste the file in /data directory. Any ideas what is going on?

How should I proceed? Thanks for any help.

Edit: Never mind I'm a moron. I didn't enable root explorer in ES.

Edit: Got it done, now running WW.182--so glad for this forum, thank you :)

my tablet doesnt turn on it stucks on asus screen (powered by android) and when i try sideload .182 it says signature verification failed here is the ss
[MeMO Pad 7 General] GuyInDogSuit:
Maybe the commands in the first post can be modified to direct them to the file on the SD card instead? If you can't copy it to internal storage, you're probably SOL and have to send it in for an RMA like I did.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] lost.dark:
Any other suggestions except RMA ? :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bravesoul:
The answer is in the begining of page 1. Sideload the CN182 ROM then follow the tutorial to install the WW182 ROM!

Trust me! My gf tablet did the same fking thing!

And I follow the tutorial and worked out fine!
[MeMO Pad 7 General] lost.dark:
Ok i am a moron i havent seen the first line (Enter recovery and sideload CN ROM)..... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: My device is opening now...

Thanks mate but i think first post should rearrange .sometimes when in panic people can miss something (like me :) )
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bravesoul:
It happened to me too! I had to ask for help as well.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Fidchelle:
Thank you so ****ing much, holy **** after weeks I finally have my tablet back.

My babies. You can have them!
[MeMO Pad 7 General] GuyInDogSuit:
Can't say it enough, you've helped me immensely with this, being able to update with this method. I just hope I never have to use it to unbrick my MeMo Pad.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Same. I'd be stuck on 191 were it not for this.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] GuyInDogSuit:
Didn't work when updating to .199.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Malerien:
I still have the original version installed....

My Me176CX failed the update both times it was offered.

If I am understanding this correctly following the method in the first post should allow me to update without bricking my tablet.

correct?

p.s.: please excuse any stupidity on my part. :)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] GuyInDogSuit:
Yeah, it's actually pretty easy and seems to be fool-proof. There is a chance that it could fail, at least if you're just manually flashing OTA updates, but it won't brick. The fail-proof method, if it fails the manual OTA, is to flash the .182 ROM (which will downgrade your device), then flash all the OTAs in order, using the same instructions each time. Just substitute the files as needed.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bravesoul:
Be carefull on some terminal apps, spaces between commands aren't allowed while on others they work just fine. On Rom Toolbox Terminal Emulator for example, spaces aren't allowed, while on terminal IDE are. I have tested this myself after several trial and error try outs.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Malerien:
Hey, it worked finally!

I had to use the terimal emulator, but I am up to .182.

Where does this tablet save the OTA updates?

w00t! I am up to ww 199! Thanks for this post!

What is this Data transfer app that is installed now?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] GuyInDogSuit:
It's pretty much useless.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Malerien:
The OTAs are working great now, I am up to .201.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Betinho_14:
hello! how I do the sideload? because my tab (me 176cx)......is dead since last year, so what can I do, some guide step by step? since last year don't start, stuck on asus logo...too bad, so sad
[MeMO Pad 7 General] GuyInDogSuit:
"Click to show content"
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Betinho_14:
But what you do? because it says, you must be root and all stuff. :crying::silly::confused:
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bravesoul:
First go to the recovery, then download cn rom to the pc, then sideload cn rom using a usb-microusb cable connected on both ends, after sideload is complete, it will reboot (might take a while), once you get to the desktop area, root the tablet, and follow the rest of the steps on page 1 of this topic. Oh, another thing. If you are using terminal IDE you can copy and paste all the commands as they are with spaces. But other terminal apps might not allow this. So when you go from cn into ww rom and if it doesn't work at first time, try to unite without spaces all the commands.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Betinho_14:
allright allright......how I do the sideload, whats command I use tu put in the rom.....O.o.....Using the command panel on pc?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] GuyInDogSuit:
Yeah, use the command terminal. You'll have to right-click and paste the commands in but it's easy to do.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Betinho_14:
ok I just downloading the CN rom, but when I'll go to cmd, and type adb remount it says: error: closed.......so.....:crying::confused::confused:
[MeMO Pad 7 General] GuyInDogSuit:
Just continue on to the next one. I don't think the remount command is necessary as it never works. Make sure you have USB debugging enabled.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Pippinkid:
When I try to side load the CN it says the zip couldn't be read? :confused::(
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bravesoul:
Remember the cn rom should be inside the adb folder for it to find it. For example: c:\adb\

Otherwise it will never find the cn rom! It could but you would have to make a path into it. Lets make life simpler,ok? Put the cn rom in the adb folder!

Rename the zip into cn182.zip or just cn182 if you don't see the .zip terminology activated, so you wont have to type/copy/paste a big ass rom file in the pc cmd.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] lpinho:
FIXED: I must unzip both zip files after downloading (could you please add this to your step list?) Thanks for the manual

Just followed the procedure, no error while installing.

I wiped cache and user data and started the tablet.

Now, I don't have google store :(

Its still rooted, but, for some reason, no google store...

Anyone else had this problem? Any solution?

Thanks for the help,

L. Pinho

P.S.: And, although I have .182 installed it states I have no updates to install (hopping to see .191 or newer)

P.S. 1: Also, some of the text (ex: external storage) appears in some asian language

P.S. 2: end of footer from /data/update.zip not 0xFFFF (File exists)

signature verification failed

Install of /data/update.zip failed with status 2

Installation aborted

Installation failed with status 2

I calculated SHA1 Hash of the update.zip: 440543D0F4A5DBBEE658153BF67B93CE71D51701

Downloaded the file ME176C-WW-3_2_23_182.zip and the SHA1 hash is the same

So, the problem is, I'm not able to install the WW version
[MeMO Pad 7 General] lpinho:
Sorry to bother you again,

I now press system on the system update and it states that "Your system is up to date." is there anyway to force an update?

Thanks,

L. Pinho
[MeMO Pad 7 General] GuyInDogSuit:
Try installing it with Lucky Patcher?

Once your tablet thinks it's up-to-date, there's no way to force it to update again short of flashing it manually. Download the latest OTA from my thread here, and flash it using the instructions from the first post. Easy peasy. It will probably fail, though, just a warning, but it's worth a shot. If you're really wanting to update and it fails, downgrade to .182 and then install each update, manually if needed, with this same method.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] lpinho:
Ok, thanks for the link (and gathering everything in one place), I will try it manually, one by one...

DONE: Installed from 182 to 201 without any problem [MENTION=1464372]GuyInDogSuit[/MENTION]: thanks for your help and work
[MeMO Pad 7 General] seamo123:
Wow, I've been searching high and low for recovery, where did you get it? Did you unlock your bootloader too and if so, how?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
There is no custom recovery or bootloader unlock yet.

There are a few options in the stock recovery that are hidden until you hit the center of the volume rocker.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] russy23:
hi

hi guys, i want to take my tablet back to original factory state, i i rooted and debloated, but i think i installed things i shudnt

can i just download your ww zip and install through stock recovery??

cheers
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bravesoul:
No. You have to download cn rom .182 first. Then follow the tutorial in the #1 post.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] russy23:
ok thanks

is there a recovery on stock, as button holds do nothing, and telling it to reboot into recovery from android it boots up with the man and says no command with nothing available to do
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bravesoul:
After it gets to the Android lying dead (recovery mode) press both volume up and down at the same time. It might take several trials to make it work. But then it'll show you adb sidebar and 3 other commands. Just click the adb sidebar and write adb sidebar update.zip in your computer with your tablet connected to it. Now when you download cn rom, make sure you unzip it and then rename it to update or update.zip depending if you have or not the terminology on or off in Windows. Put the zip file in the c folder and use the adb in c:\adb\.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] thebulletfromhell:
You don't have to flash the CN rom first. Flash the temp CWM, then you can flash the WW 182 ROM without error. Save bandwidth, and you can apply all the OTA in one go as well

thanks, i have another big issue since now, the tablet doesnt want to go into deepsleep, its stays on 532hz when screen is off(cpu spy tells me this), which is draining it, last 3 or 4 nights its been happening when i get up its dead, when it had 30-40% battery left, ive checked apps running and nothing seems out of the ordinary, so frustratinng as it never used to do only since ive returned to the .182 firmware
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bravesoul:
It's been reported on another thread a halfway solution. According to a colleague of ours, the solution is weird but it seems to work. Leave WiFi on!
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
That used to help, but since the recent OTA updates that isn't necessary. I forgot to turn on WiFi once on a car trip. The tablet was fully charged due to my car charger. I had to leave the car, so I left the tablet in the glove compartment and left. After leaving the car for a couple hours I came back and the battery was at 98.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] russy23:
thanks chaps..i may know whats up then

when i got the tab it did all the updates to.201..

but now ive restored .182 it hasnt updated itself, so hopefully manually updating to .201 will help..
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
The OTA files are scattered around this topic if you do some searching. Once you have them you can either flash them with the temporary ClockWorkMod session or by following the instructions in the Unbrick thread that you used to flash the WW 182 file.

[MeMO Pad 7 General] seamo123:
How do you boot into the stock recovery? I've been searching and searching online but there's no definitive answer. Poorly-explained, contradictory advice everywhere, I'm afraid. The hard reset option the device offers in the 'backup and reset' part of the settings menu doesn't wipe all data and restore factory settings properly.

Would be much obliged for any help you can give.

*Edit* I eventually got into recovery - wiped data etc. However, there still hasn't been a full data wipe and restoration to factory settings, my tablet is still rooted, for example. How can I 'clean' and restore the firmware on this tablet properly? Hard reset doesn't seem to mean hard reset anymore.. ;)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bravesoul:
You can always use fastboot commands like "fastboot erase". But that wipes the whole thing. Then use "temp cwm" and again inject all the roms you wish very quickly.

Bricked ASUS MemoPad 7 tablet?

Hello everyone,

I need some help in order to know if I will throw my recent brought tablet: Asus Memo Pad 7 ME176C

After a few hours I noticed that the tablet freezes in different applications. A hard restart was needed to unblock it(long press on the power button).

I noticed that the firmware was ASUS MeMO pad 7 (ME176C) Firmware: V3.1.23.161 (for WW SKU version only) and I wanted to make an update with a newer one from the ASUS website (bad idea :(( )

So, I downloaded the latest one: ASUS MeMO Pad 7(ME176C) Firmware: V3.1.23.182 (for WW SKU version only)

I copied that zip archive into the root of the tablet storage and I restarted it;

The tablet asked me to confirm that I want to install that firmware and I pressed OK.

The tabled started to install the firmware after a restart and it was in loading state some time. After this it throws an error (The android robot with an exclamation red sign near it).

After this the tablet was no longer functional. When I try to start it I have an error saying "No command". (I think that the old data was erased and the installation failed)

Please can you help me with an answer? The tablet can be saved? Or I should throw it? :(

I didn't installed any root application on the tablet before the firmware update.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bravesoul:
By "throw it" I hope you dont mean against a wall! :p

Anyway. The solution is on the first post of this topic.

Just do everything in there and you will make your tablet alive again.

What happened to you, has happened to me as well. So I guarantee that if you follow all the instructions and then read all the following posts you will be sucessfull.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
This happens sometimes when you mess with it.

Currently, the tablet is stuck in recovery mode based off of the "no command" screen. This happened to me once and I thought I bricked my tablet. I didn't. Don't worry about it.

To fix it, just hold Volume Up and Power while the tablet is off. When the Asus screen shows up let go of power but continue holding Volume Up.

You should see a screen that says "DROIDBOOT PROVISION OS" at the top. From here use the volume keys to highlight "reboot", then tap power to select it. Your tablet should then reboot into the OS.

please help masters..
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Sounds like there is an issue with either your wpa_supplicant or wpa_supplicant.conf file. You can fix both by flashing the stock ROM (.182 WW).

Before you go to that extreme though, open up a root browser and navigate to /data/misc/WiFi. There should be a wpa_supplicant.conf file. If there is a backup of that file (some apps like Pry-fi make one before running) delete wpa_supplicant.conf and rename the backup to wpa_supplicant.conf.

If there isn't a backup go to system/bin. There is a wpa_supplicant file there. If there is one named wpa_supplicant_real delete wpa_supplicant and rename wpa_supplicant_real to wpa_supplicant.

If that doesn't work you'll have to flash the ROM again. You can do so using the temp CWM or with the guide in the OP.

i have added the screenshot as a "attached files"

im almost sure every step i did was right. But last stage, rebooting.. this annoying error everytime. What shall i do now ?

Im sorry for my bad (soo bad) english guys.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Don't worry, this happens sometimes. The tablet is stuck in recovery- it's not bricked, so you're fine.

Shut down your tablet, and hold down Volume Up and Power. When you get an ASUS screen let go of power but continue holding volume up until you get to a droidboot screen. From there use volume up and down to navigate to "REBOOT" or "REBOOT TO SYSTEM" (something along those lines, can't check since it's worded differently after the Lollipop update). When you have reboot selected hit Power and you'll get into the system.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] celldweller7:
Firstly, thx for fast reply;

I have no problem with restarting the device, its OK, but everytime i tried to manual update it stucks in recovery and i get this "NO COMMAND" message. ww..182 update file (renamed as update.zip) was in the /data folder, command file which i downloaded from here was in the /cache/recovery and adb running fine on cmd. But as i said it stucks in rebooting everytime i tried, again againd and again. Dont know why it happens:/

edit: i noticed i cannot enter recovery mode in no way. Also in droidboot screen when i tried to choose "recovery" i get "NO COMMAND" screen.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
"No command" is recovery, the options are hidden. To get to the options in recovery you have to hit volume up and down at the same time. It could take a couple tries.

Inside the 182 zip is another zip. That's the one you flash. If the zip file you're trying to install has another zip it's not correct, flash the zip inside of it.
