@fran1563

maybe you have to go to the unbrick thread for the me176cx and follow the instructions there step by step to go back to os version .182
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Fastboot OEM Unlock won't work at all. You most likely stumbled upon one of the fake websites that claim that any device can be unlocked with that command.

If the bootloader unlock was that simple we would've done that by now.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
Ok.Thank´s for this information i thought already that it is not that simple.But i have another question,my bootloader seem´s to be .201 but my os is downgraded to .182 again,

what did i make wrong or is it normal?I can´t install any higher ota exept the 5.0 or newer and they bootloop after instalation but the 182 works,ist my device bricked?I made all updates with the tmpcwm,should i try to use the PC-ADB shell or is there no difference?Don´t know how to go further?Or can i install a tmp cwm backup from someone who has got a running Lollipop system to my device?Thank´s for helping again.:)
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
I had the same problem. Now I updated to 201 but lollipop still brings bootloop.

I have found the OTA 201 cwm backup here: https://translate.google.com/transl...?s=&showtopic=584225&view=findpost&p=32744050

Can someone upload the clean recovery backup? I was hard brick my tab and now I do not see Asus logo (the animation. the one with power by Android still sees) any more. I try to flash zip but zip file not working so I think restore from backup by recovery maybe work. If you can TWRP or CWM both just in case

Thanks

Just got it CWM backup

Thank you for the interesting link i ám reading it already but it´ll be take some time until i reach the end of it but it´s interesting to read how development for a device starts.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
I still have it I could upload it somewhere else but don't want to mirror it wasn't me who has made the backup, I had no idea my tablet will refuse lollipop update :(

And yes, its awesome :)

it seems to be that the bootloader is not overwritten during installation of the lollipop update i would like to flash the bootloader manualy for it is in the lp upgrade zipfile but i don´t know how to manage that.So do you know how i can create a update zip to only flash the bootloader or isn´t it possible to do that?

P.S.:i postet the content of the partition table file in the main me176cx thread.This is a kind of chinese to me because i´m no coder/dev.

[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
The only way to flash lollipop droidboot (it's not bootloader, as you can read in that thread) is now to obtain .raw file for asus flash tool :( Could anyone please try to write/call to asus support and request it? Maybe some kind person which wikl not be afraid of his/her boss will upload it somewhere :) We just have to spam asus support until we will actually get respond from someone helpful. Maybe saying we have warranty and sending us a link to the file will cost them nothing will help?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] AzOzA:
Yeah I think so we needed full support firmware file. firmware they give us just the update and easy to crash our device...

[MeMO Pad 7 General] AzOzA:
if you needed apk files just download firmware update from asus website and unzip. after that go to system folder rename file name with apk.d to apk thats all men -..-

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

maybe your cwm cant mount system. i will not give you any advice atm because it will brick your asus. (I work on cwm and not work in my case. FYI i flash this backup with no error but my tab still not load OS, dunno why)

just email to asus technical hope they have some advices or help...

My tab completely hardbrick now:) )
[MeMO Pad 7 General] un4saken:
I've alread bricked my tab many times. Thankfully i manage to work it.

Wish someone had .201 full firmware. I can't update my .182 after installing it.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] spinach183:
Hi

Can anyone tell me if I can update my k01a to lollipop with this?

I THINK its me70c but can't find specs to compare.

Its rooted but no recovery.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Unfortunately no. The hardware is completely different. Trying this will brick your device.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Mis012:
It's not hardbrick if you can get in bootloader > you can get in cwm recovery. Flash the full 182 and then the 201 backup should work.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] dyurdz:
Hi AzOzA,

I dont think that is possible as those are patches. that is why when you update, the updater looks for the original apks in the system/app folder.

Please, if you have the system apks on lollipop, i really appreciate if you can share a copy. Thanks in advance.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jocala:
182

I flashed the .182 ROM via recovery, but now the device reports no OTA updates are available. Any way to jumpstart them or must I manually apply?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] AzOzA:
bad news is my device is hard brick at this time, so I can't help but if you want, you can try to use ES explorer and loading system/app file from firmware, simply just copy and paste replace to original apps (best you need back up before copy. Just one app, and then reboot, load that app if it works - try music app will be best for testing).

Patch application (as you say) all is from apk file installing replacement / overwrite to the old version.

Download full WW182 or WW lollipop and flash it through temp cwm. But if you want lollipop, and flashing WW lollipop zip does bootloop, leave it in inbootloop and send it to service as problem in warranty period. I am going to do the same today.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] russy23:
i kept getting the bootloop about 3 times after just attempting to install lollipop, i kept getting the update binary bollox each time, anyway im back on .201 now and rooted....any tips how to go about installing, the way im doing it is downloading the file placing it on sdcard, running temp twrp (is this the issue) and do a wipe then install, like i have done for many roms

Actully I did it three days ago.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] :
There's a software update "12.10.1.24 (41.78 MB)" anyone know what's added/fixed? how does it affect root?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] lambdadroid:
No idea what was changed (I can't tell any difference tbh), but maybe a few of the instabilities of the previous version were fixed. I wasn't able to install the update on my rooted device directly, I had to install the clean firmware first before I was able to install it. After you've updated you can just root again though, that is working fine for me.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] SyCoREAPER:
This tablet is a royal pain in the @$$. ME572 has been so much easier to root and upgrade to lollipop.

Figures this one is my Moms and isn't going well

**edit** I think I have everything figured out. This was very painful compared to my other tab.

Last screen/black screen about firmware New Version/Old version was scary, especially when I got a timeout message.

Thank you [MENTION=1464372]GuyInDogSuit[/MENTION] and everyone else for the time put into keeping this tablet up to date.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] therealprof:
Not sure why you're saying that. The ME176 can be rooted with an app while the ME572 requires forcing the software back to kitkat using a complicated mechanism and then upgrading with a special version of lollipop of questionable source... Something that I actually didn't bother to do.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] SyCoREAPER:
With this one I had to go through each update as where the 572 I only had to flash 1 image that was pre-rooted. I don't think it was really hard but it was really a pain in comparison.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] therealprof:
Lucky you then that you did not upgrade to Lollipop before, otherwise you'd feel the other round. I happen to have both devices and due to my own mistake I actually had to go through the tour-de-force once on the ME176C but if you don't mess up it's much easier to root than the ME572C (especially if you've already upgraded to Lollipop then the rooting procedure is close to insanity).
[MeMO Pad 7 General] SyCoREAPER:
I know that feeling, even more frustrating. Had to do this when rootzenfone only worked on specific firmware.

I do have an issue though, the screen goes black everyy once in a while and after reboot the bloatware is back
[MeMO Pad 7 General] :
Are on the latest Lollipop update that was released a few days ago? Should fix that issue, has for me.

OTA is around 50mb.

Also they've released the latest full 700mb Update.zip on the device's download page, here's my quoted post from the other thread.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] SyCoREAPER:
I installed the LP listed in the OP. What's your recommendation ? OTA or side load? I currently have root and xposed and don't want to lose either
[MeMO Pad 7 General] russy23:
i feel so dumb, after attempting to update to lollipop a few days back and failing miserably about 3 times using temp recovery, there was a very simple method all along..

download lollipop zip file, place it on internal storage when connected to pc, when done put cable out, and then it will notify you straight away about a system update..click ok and wait..done
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Maeke.fr:
Good for you, failed for me.

Edit; well seems to flash right now.

Hello

Thank you for this information, I 've known this manual and have some unanswered questions.

I have the bootloader 10.6.1.14.10

I can leave this out or do I have to downgrade it? ( 10.6.1.14.4 is not available from Asus !)

If it works with the current bootloader , I have modified the boot loader 10.6.1.14.4 apparently after NVFLASH . right?

It must remain on the device or can I switch to the latest after NVFLASH again?

Newer Roms require 10.6.1.14.10 !?

Sorry for my english, I 'm from Germany .

Thanks for the help.

The Flatline tool will replace your bootloader with the hacked version of 10.6.1.14.4. After successfully pulling your blobs you can flash another bootloader.

What would happen to my phone if I completely submerged it in cranberry juice? I'm trying to pass a Chem class and the professor wants me to do something impressive with my phone since he sees me on it all the time. I showed him Cyanogenmod and the like but he's not fazed. He's like, 75 and doesn't understand computers. I don't know about the electrical capacitance of berry juice so I was wondering if I put my myTouch 4G Slide in a clear bucket of cranberry juice whether or not it would still be on while in the juice.
[General Topics] zelendel:
You would fry your phone. Nothing you do will be able to impress him as his point is that you shouldn’t be on it in class. Mainly with that device. There is not alot you can do. Maybe remotely login to your home pc. Thats about it. Also Showing him CM is not really impressive. They are turning into the running joke of the android world.
[General Topics] SiberianLeopard:
Well, isn't that a little discouraging?

Maybe I could submerge it in colored mineral oil since it doesn't conduct electricity? I saw some PCs submerged in mineral oil on Youtube.

And how is CM the "running joke of the Android world"? What are you using, MIUI? Or homebrew?

And he honestly doesn't care that I'm on it. He says, "It's your grade. Do what you want." and I have an A+ anyway. He just wants me to do something cool.
[General Topics] zelendel:
Have you been watching the tech news about CM? Check it out and you will know. No I don't use miui they are right there with cm.

As for something cool I guess you could try a remote login to your pc to recover missing homework or something of that nature.

Have you seen their latest of wanting to take android away from Google? Do they not realize that if Google stopped pushing code to aosp they would die off completely. Then adding in untested code that causes tons of issues, forcing some of their developers to close source their apps so they can make money off of it. Yeah they deserve it. To the point that main aosp based roms have stopped using their sources and are ditching their theme manager.

[General Topics] TryHardBlueonMac:
Please do not put your perfectly good phone in cranberry juice.... please.

Instead do this....

Get an old charging cable you don't care about (a lot cheaper to destroy)....

and show you can charge your phone with a make-shift battery.

Whatever battery you make I recommend using a diode connected transistor or some kind of a limiter to limit current to your phone so you don't burn it out incase you make some awesome kind of a bad ass battery.

That will impress your professor.

Tips:

You can make a fruit battery out of:

Four lemons (the bigger and juicier the better)

Four pennies

Five zinc-galvanized nails

Five sets of alligator clips

but I'm not sure if the mA would be enough to charge your phone but it will be enough to power a small LED.
[General Topics] justmpm:
Yeah, I wasn't thinking of a fruit battery, more like an old school voltaic pile made out of coins (like pennies) or metal disks from the hardware store. Depending on which metals and electrolyte you use, you should get 0.5V to 1V per "cell". The diode transistor is a super good idea, and you probably will need a voltmeter to determine how many volts your battery is producing and you should also be able to determine the mAmp being produced. Look at the specs of your the charger for your device and just make sure you don't go over the current or voltage specs. My guess is that you will not be able to generate enough current to fully charge your device, so I would leave it off and just try and get the "battery charging" display to light up for a bit. If you go down this route, be prepared to answer some "chemistry" teacher type questions. The more you know the more impressed your teacher will be.
[General Topics] SiberianLeopard:
Well, then, I planned to do something with something related to that. I just might use pennies, foamboard soaked in vinegar, and zinc discs.
[General Topics] SiberianLeopard:
That's exactly what I was thinking. The fruit trick is used too often and has lost its value.
[General Topics] SiberianLeopard:
I bought a new phone yesterday, so my old myTouch will be fine to destroy just in case. The camera doesn't work, neither does the flash, or certain other things. I bought it on Amazon for $50.
[General Topics] justmpm:
Well if you have voltmeter you can set up your pile and try different electorlytes. Typically the stronger the acid and saltier it is the better. So you can try salt water, distilled vinegar, and salt added to distilled vinegar as your electrolytes and record the voltage/cell for each electrolyte...make a nice table, build your (probably 5V battery) explaining how the table helped you choose what kind to build, make a pretty picture displaying the chemistry involved and badda bing...you are done :cool:
[General Topics] HuskersRule:
