Seconded. Is CWM needed to install the .183 and .189 updates?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bologner:
Okay All,

I'm writing this to set up a clearer process for all of the things Remmy typed up. Remmy did an AMAZING job of putting it all together and deserves all the credit.

Tethered CWM recovery

1.) Download the official firmware and extract it.

2.) Rename UL-K011-WW-3.1.23.172-user.zip to user.zip.

3.) Copy user.zip to the root of your SD card.

4.) Enable USB debugging on your tablet.

5.) Use the link in RemmyLee's post #3 on page 1 of this thread ( androidfilehost.com/?fid=95857557620392052 ) to download a file called IntelAndroid-FBRL.7z. Inside, you will find the 'launcher.bat' file.

6.) If it's not already, connected the tablet to the PC.

7.) Run Launcher.bat.

8.) Type ACCEPT.

9.) Choose option T3.

10.) This will reboot in to the Tethered Recovery.

11.) Choose Install Zip from external SD card.

12.) Choose user.zip

13.) Reboot once finished.

Lollipop Update on Memo Pad 7??

Hey everyone:

I am curious, I see that there is an update to Lollipop for the users of the Memo Pad 7. Technically, wouldn't that work for us also? Isn't the size of the tablet the ultimate difference essentially? I don't see any differences in the specs on the Memo Pad 7 and 8, only the size.

I bought this thing over an LG G Pad 8.0 as I thought this was a superior product, now I am a bit disenchanted. I wonder if the LG G Pad is worth keeping or not? It does have the latest Lollipop version with support from LG for everything etc.

Would you guys say that any hope for the Memo Pad 8 is not possible?

Any input anyone has would be appreciated!

Hey everyone, I am a total noob to this and just rooted my Asus MeMo Pad 8.

My question is "Now what do I do?" LOL

I don't know what to eliminate and what NOT TO eliminate.

I only use it for gaming (Clash of Clans only), videos, and e-mail. It's too slow for hard-core internet surfing.

All I want is for it to be as fast as possible.

not getting any responses here but still posting

Posted previously about my ww build # being so low (3.0.23.150) wondering if this forum was about my exact model. Just looked at kernel file for my registered model on asus website, brings it up to .168, so I guess I have to do this, then the two here 2 get up to date huh?

don't everyone answer @ once, lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosaraylian:
coolbeans2016:

You're not getting any replies as there isn't ANY action going on for this tablet unfortunately. When there is no Development for a Device on XDA, there won't be any forum chatter. First off, as far as which is your model and this forum. This forum only deals with the K011/ME181C, which I believe is a USA specific model. You have to realize that ASUS releases their Firmware updates completely based on REGIONS of each product. I have the K011/ME181C Asus Memo Pad 8, I am in the USA. My latest Firmware is WW-3.1.23.189. If you are in the USA, when you go to Settings>About>System Update, you should be automatically update to the Version 189. In that same menu you will see the model number above the Android Version etc. etc. You have to also note that if you are outside of the USA, it might not be the best idea to force install a Firmware Version on your Memo Pad 8 just because a higher version is available. You can brick the Memo Pad doing this. Another thing to keep in mind is that some of the Firmware versions are meant for the models that have GSM capability in them (like in Europe and the UK) and the Firmware for these is ENTIRELY different. The model numbers from ASUS are also very confusing as different model numbers are given for almost the identical product, but made and sold in other countries.

I have mine Rooted Successfully, but there isn't much else to do besides that as there are NO ROMS available for the Memo Pad 8, and also no Lollipop Update from Asus for it either. Currently, no one is wanting to do any Development for the Memo Pad 8 either, to make a custom ROM with Lollipop. To my knowledge, the Memo Pad 7 is the only one with a Lollipop Update, and I think it is for the Euro/UK models only, not in the USA.

I guess the first thing I need to know is if you are in the USA or where???
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolbeans2016:
okay RemmyLee

Okay, I am on my laptop now, the only reason I am here is not receiving the OTA's, plus my WW build number being so far behind than others. WW-3.0.23.150, the kernel available after I registered my Asus Memo Pad 8 181c lists its build number as WW-3.1.23.169, but it is only 111mb or so and like it says, only a kernel source code.

My question is.... can I go from my WW-3.0.23.150 to these two updates (172-189)?

There are issues with my tablet such as wifi suddenly loses signal strength no matter proximity to router. Bluetooth will not work in hangouts or a voip call such as Talkatone (distorted) but these calls work on the built in speaker. These issues are ironed out with the OTA updates as well as a little better battery. I am not concerned about lollipop and am thoroughly impressed with this little 8" tablet for the money!

Please let me know what you can when you read this.

Sincerely,

zach

ps loaded on laptop, adb recognizes the tablet, alls well, just need to get these done

Okay, posting to let RemmyLee know of AWESOME success using his instructions/download

Yes, in the good 'ol USA.... Thanks RemmyLee, I am very careful, have to reread things usually alot, make sure they sink in, have issues.... followed the instructions and took the oldest build there was, that first came out probably - "WW-3.0.23.150" and have it up to the WW-3.1.23.189 using this forum, and rooted again!!! Old zenphoneroot 1.2.6 method would not work again. Also, now my update in settings for OTA's is working~! Don

t know what it was but not long after getting everything in order, updated I tried it and it downloaded something!!

:cool: Zach
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolbeans2016:
Thanks again

The CWM Tethered Recovery is excellent. Like my posts state, my asus came from Fingerhut, so I can blame this for it having .... like the first firmware it ever came with (WW-3.0.23.150). Thanks to RemmyLee it now sets pretty at WW-3.1.23.189, currently getting OTA's now it would not before. Also all the software woke up and updated itself through the playstore. The ZenUI previously was not working, and I did not recognize this because I had never seen, used it before. Everything, and I mean e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g works now, like a charm! This device, as well as my reading up on others by Asus has sold me, even if HTC had not tanked I am now an Asus man! They simply have gone the extra mile, not just content with dumping Android on a device with their picks of bloatware, this UI is such a drastic improvement and the stock apps so good it should be a part of Android. Besides Greenify, AF+ Firewall, will try gravity box and that about rounds this perfect experience of KitKat out! Thanks RemmyLee, that Jr. part of your xda membership should get a few more stars & bars!!!!

Zach,

I cannot figure out how to do this!

I accidentally disabled my WiFi somehow and want to reinstall the kernel.

I have SuperSU already.

Specifically, where is "launcher.bat"? (#5)

Tethered CWM recovery

This is a temporary solution to unsigned loading. The bootloader on the device is currently locked, so after rebooting, it will revert back to standard recovery. Use this to restore to a stock firmware or to install SuperSU.

1. Download the official firmware and extract it.

2. Rename UL-K011-WW-3.1.23.172-user.zip to user.zip.

3. Copy user.zip to the root of your SD card.

4. Enable USB debugging on your tablet.

5. Run Launcher.bat.

6. Type ACCEPT.

7. Choose option T3.

This will reboot in to the Tethered Recovery.

Choose Install Zip from external SD card.

Choose user.zip

Reboot once finished.

Thanks,

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolbeans2016:
not alotta replies on old post on here

As far as I know, (used this op myself) if your tablet is not from North America, there could be issues, but, just as with LG products, Asus has used most of the same designs across a plethora of their devices. This is why root for zenphones works on just about all of their devices, this tethered cwm recovery works for alot of them. If you do this and it loads up, remember after you get back to the desktop, go back to settings/backup-restore and do a factory reset. Your probably looking around because the firmware is old, and no you will not get any updates from Asus. Mine was .150, first firmware when the tablet was release. There is a big difference not just in performance, but looks as well, ZenUI is better etc....... But it took until I had another issue that required doing a factory reset to find out how much better it runs and everything. I will remember this with my other devices.

If your on a WW build firmware, and it matches, I say, it would be worth the try if its lagging bad and becoming unusable......

Update from asus to .191

Earlier this month I got an update notification on my Asus Memo Pad 8 181c which was at the .189 firmware with the help from this thread. Unrooted, accepted the update and it took me to .191. I had posted on G+ under Asus Memo Pads about it before doing so, and by request had looked through the entire tablet to find the downloaded update for someone but could not find it. After successfully getting update installed, posted screenshot on firmware and a Mark Deaton, nagged Asus until they sent him a link for it. He has shared it with me, turns out it is an entire firmware package .zip of 905mb, unzipped, 1.58gb. Instead of sticking with the patched firmware of .191, I want to reload this entire firmware package so its all together. Do I just put the zip on the tablet and do like I have before described in this post? Or is their something you can do so when I unzip this it goes to one file like you did the .172-user for unpacking and loading before the 2 OTA's in this thread? It's at 60% uploading to MEGA now, just wanted to post to get a reply before sharing the link. Please let me know.....

I posted the link to my MEGA account for the latest firmware from Asus taking it to .191 .... has kernel fixes for battery, speed, etc... You can download, install with the CWM tethered recovery provided and you have an upto date all inclusive ROM running for this tablet. Will definitely fix your problem and others with it. If you want root you can flash (the same way) with Chainfire's SuperSU, just remember when exiting CWM's tethered recovery it asks to fix root, do not. Also, remember to factory reset before re-installing firmware.
