NO! Has anyone helped you with this yet? This forum can be dead for responses but this is the only thread that keeps the Asus Memo Pad 8 181c (k011) alive! Let me know if you still need any assistance, sorry for the delay responding.

As long as tethered cwm recovery is working for you and is booting your tablet. You take the firmware (.172). After download (onto PC?), rename it "user.zip".... place onto internal. I say internal due to tethered recovery will not recognize ext sd cards over 4gb in size, if you have one and it is recognizing it, that's great.

I would recommend doing a factory reset as well up under settings on tab before booting up on tethered recovery. After you have the full firmware (.172) installed. It is just an ongoing process of flashing each ota using the same method, and you do have to do these, one at a time, in order, and I recommend including the .191. That was the last known update for this tablet and is a game changer. Has kept my k011 useable for the meantime. Waiting for price to go down a little for the latest Asus tablet that just came out for Verizon, has LTE modem in it!

Let me know if this helped.

Hi,

I have tried to totally unlock bootloader, like it was suggested few posts ago on some Russian site. Bootloader should have been totally unlocked without using tethered recovery, before the last step where I should install twrp, after i typefld "fastboot reboot-bootloader" tablet restarted with blank screen.

Posts, which point to posts on Russian site, were deleted form this discussion in meantime.

I could not reboot it, not regularly, not to recovery, not to fastboot.

It is not visible from pc anymore.

Anybody could help somehow?

How to return it from dead?

Then you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolbeans2016:
Mix up

For the Memo Pad 8 181C WW build there has never been an unlockable bootloader or a TWRP ported for install. You just need to research power + vol up/down combinations to get back to the point of being recognized by tethered recovery. If necessary the OP has instructions:

"Bootable Image for Recovery

This file is to be used if your system will not get past the Asus or Intel logo. Boot the system using Volume Up and Power. Once the logo appears, let go of power. Once in DroidBoot, use fast boot to flash the boot and system images. This is provided in case signature verification fails on the official images.

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

This file also contains adb and fastboot. If your tablet is not detected, try the Asus drivers.

Reboot the system and use the CWM tethered recovery to reinstall the official firmware.

OTA Updates

If youâ€™ve recovered from the official firmware on the Asus site, youâ€™re probably sitting at version WW-3.1.23.172. Here are the OTA updates to bring your system up to the current version of WW-3.1.23.189. There are two different OTA updates available here, so the process will need to be completed twice. Update 172 to 183 and Update 183 to 189.

Boot in to recovery, press the volume keys several times and install from ADB.

Extract the RAR file and rename the files update.zip.

On your PC, open a command prompt and change to the directory containing the update file

Assuming ADB is installed on the system, type: adb sideload update.zip

Once the process completes, reboot your system and update apps as needed.

Repeat this process for any additional update files."

If you have a WW build... follow instructions and post back...

zach

ps. Once finished there is a download link posted by me for a final update from Asus takes device to WW-3.1.23.191

Factory reset

Try factory reset using tethered recovery...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogisha:
Yes I have. After that when I press vol+ & power, screen backlight turns on but screen stays black. If I keep with pressing the buttons device powers off.

If I let the buttons screen stays black and on, until I turn it off again (I did not test for very long time because I am afraid of draining the battery).

When I plug it to the charger screen immediately turns on and stays black again. After I turn it off it turns on again immediately until I unplug it from the charger.

In all of the cases, no logo or anything else shows on the screen. Not even the battery charging animation while it is off and plugged to the charger.

My pc and adb does not recognise it anymore.

Is there any help for me? Can you suggest any specialised tool for low level accessing asus devices, or any other forum or site that could help?

Thank you very much.

Hey guys, I'm probably too late to get any help here, and this tablet may very well be dead, but I'm trying to unbrick it for my mom. I can get into Droidboot but not recovery or the system. The stock recovery link at the end of OP is dead - anyone have a link to stock recovery?

Also, OP mentions a launcher.bat, which I can't locate and therefore can't complete the tethered recovery process. Am I dumber than I thought, or do I need to find this .bat somewhere else?

Looks like a new tablet is in my mom's future. She loved this one, so does anyone have a suggestion for what to get next? I'd prefer the OS be as vanilla as possible, with little to no bloat. Should look good and have decent specs, but this is for an old lady who doesn't play games or do anything that requires too much power. Something new-ish with manufacturer support would be nice, and cost is a factor. XDA and 3rd party support would be a must for me, but is just a bonus in this case.

There is another thread under ***INTEL TETHERED RECOVERY*** by Vampiro that has dual CWM/TWRP in it. Mention this because it has worked with the tethered recovery under this thread has NOT. Do not use the TWRP (except in wiping tablet). You will need the "System img."... (it is a download from a Russian site & can take SOME time downloading)

Especially when your NOT booting like described. Place the "system .img"

***PICTURES ATTACHED & WILL PLACE HERE AS VIEWABLE LINKS***

1. When device is off, press(also hold) volume up key and then press(also hold) power key. After the device vibrates, release power key (keep

2. Select "RECOVERY " option by volume down key (or volume up key), and then press power key.

Thank you for your work with the Asus MeMo pad 8 ME181C.

I should have noted the point regarding the SKU. My device is not WW but rather TW. I was, incorrectly thinking to downgrade the software version from TW_V3.1.23.191 in the hope of being able to root the device by using a WW software image. Droid Boot reported a failure in trying to apply such a "user.zip". Toggling the file checking option did not help.

As it turns out, RootChecker via SuperSU indicates that I now have root access on an Asus MeMo pad 8 K011 ME181C. This is after having run the official ASUS tool, "Root MeMoPad-me181cx.zip" on a system with the latest software image, "TW_V3.1.23.191".

This is my first physical Android device and my first experience rooting. Had I known about the locked boot loader of the Asus MeMo pad 8 K011 ME181C, I would likely not have purchased it. I'll know more after trying to enable a USB ethernet adapter on it which is why I got the device in the first place.

Looking for Recovery.img for K011-WW-3.1.23.172 firmware

Hello everybody,

I know that this Asus tablet (Memo Pad 8 ME181C) is not getting any support anymore but was wondering maybe some of you will be able to help me find the Recovery image file for the K011-WW-3.1.23.172 firmware.

I have had this tablet since 2014 and I use it primary for reading manga and ebook. I was very happy with it.

My Asus is accually on BBY-3.1.23.191 firmware and started to have force shutting down problem since yesterday. The battery showing full but the tablet will force shut down everytime I started it.

So I was thinking of flashing a WW firmware on it to see if it was the firmware problem or not but I need a Recovery.img for that. The one that RemmyLee put on post 1 doesn't work anymore.

I extracted boot.img and fastboot.img from K011-WW-3.1.23.172 zip file but inside there are no recovery.img file, only recovery-from-boot.p file.

I have search on Google everywhere but couldn't find it, so I would apprecieted it very much if any of you can point me to the right direction:confused:

My best regards,

Kian

Hello everyone, and greetings from Uruguay. My name is Fernando and I am here looking for some little help, I hope you can help me out.

The subject I want help with is, how to install the Spanish language pack to have the phone completely in Spanish for a ZTE Open C smartphone upgraded to Android 4.4.2 using the Open C Upgrade Tool.

I haven't found the language pack by myself, what I found though, was an app that installs the language, but it requires root access and I have no idea about how to do that.

Another idea that I have is that there might be some package that may be installed using the Upgrade Tool, or maybe there's something else that may be done. I'm all too novice in the subject and I haven't had enough time to be better informed by myself, so, I hope that someone out there may be able to help.

If you require any extra information in order to help me out, I will be glad to be able to provide it to you.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decartes:
Hello guys.

I currently own a Nexus 5 and was a proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy S3 and Nexus 4 also.

The question I'm going to ask came into my head when my friend at work showed me his Sony Xperia Z3 Compact.

What I instantly realized when I picked it up is the z3c felt heck of a lot more snappier and felt like its touch responsiveness was better.

I also noticed a huge improvement on the nexus 5 coming from the nexus 4 back in the day.

There was a test about half a year ago(?) measuring every smarthphone's touch response time. It was at the time when the HTC One M8 had been released I think(?). The One came in first with 40-50 ms, the Nexus 5 was measured at 75ms along with the iPhone 5s.

So my question is how's nexus 6's touch response? Is is better than the N5 or even the M8? Also in the reviews, or anywhere basically, why is this not a talked about subject? I mean it's like one of the most important things for me for a device to be really snappy and responsive.

Thank you,
