Got it thanks I'll try tonight! What is "emmc"...????

I have root access to the tablet should I copy the backup under /data/media? (or to my external memory card?)

(sorry to be annoying but I bricked the tablet using that very utility, need to be sure).
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
the emmc is the inbuilt memory of your device and you have to copy the clockworkmod folder to the /data/media/ folder by using a root browser like total comander just configure it to have root access and then within running it go to system main directory and copy the backup folder to /data/media/ then boot the cwm tmp again and when it has booted use the restore option and select the .201 backup wich will be displayed then.

---------- Post added at 01:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 AM ----------

for being save if something is going wrong make a backup by using thecwm tool then copy it to your external sdcard or pc so you can restore it if necessary.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] boredfish:
Hey daspex,

I've finally done it! I used a more recent cwm utility so the options were different from my previous post (no more 5. cwm.zip option etc.) so I went ahead and picked T4. It changed screens several times - so did the tablet - all of this with several error messages from both (?) - anyway in the end it offered to root the tablet (?) which I said yes and it finally rebooted for the last time. Everything though was in Russian/cyrillic (!) so I panicked a little trying to figure out where to go to set English, but in the end it went together and I am now enjoying WW-3.2.23.201. Thanks again!

The only one thing is that the device is NOT actually rooted and now I am not sure what to use to root it. I am reading this post now.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
hi boredfish,

has been a pleasure to me that i could help you.to root your device you can still use the zenfone app it works in my case or you can use the cwm and flash the rootzip file.

feel free to hit the thanks button:)

best regards
[MeMO Pad 7 General] boredfish:
I will try rooting tonight, with zenfone first.

I just hit the Thank you button it's been a pleasure. If you ever manage to get lollipop and post results here, I've subscribed/bookmarked this thread. Thanks again!
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
you are welcome,

since other people helped me to get something right on this tablet i feel to do the same help to other people like you wich needs help without reading tons of posts.if i ever manage to get the lp running on our device i'll post it here.

best regards
[MeMO Pad 7 General] boredfish:
You wouldn't believe this but before rooting I thought it was a good idea to check for updates, and to my great surprise it said Lollipop available and started downloading a 537Mb Lollipop update from Asus' servers!!!! Once done it rebooted and I was super excited to what I was about to see, but sadly it started rebooting over and over at the white Asus logo, and I am now stuck in a bloodly bootloop. Wipe data to factory in recovery mode does not help either.

Make sure not to check for updates on yours!!!
[MeMO Pad 7 General] daspex:
i remember a kind of this situation happens to me a long time ago therefore i deleted this service from my device.if you take a look at the thread of GhettoGirl you can see what you can safely delete/remove from our device.thats a pitty so you have to do all things again to have the .201 version.

My tablet just got an update overnight, but it failed and I ran a factory reset in hopes that would help. Unfortunately, that caused the update to not come back. Did anybody save the OTA update?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] x-flyer:
I saved it, do you want me to upload it?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] urlyisis:
That would be great if you could. I even tried reflashing the last lollipop update to no avail. Maybe we could even get it added to the first page.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] x-flyer:

If so, good, I don't have to do it myself, especially since my tablet refuses to update right now (I'm working on it though)

I had the same issue because i had xposed framework installed. I removed it but after that i got stuck in a bootloop so i had to wipe my tablet through fastboot.To update, i know it's weird but it worked, i renamed the dlpkgfile to the exact file name as the full lollipop image that is on the asus website: "UL-K013-WW-12.10.1.24-user.zip". After placing it on the sdcard and i received a notification that allowed me to update succesfully from that file.

[MeMO Pad 7 General] xristos2:
I unroot the tablet, uninstalled any app I installed as system app and removed the Xposed with the official xposed uninstaller, then renamed the file to the name you said the updated started but then the android logo with error! appeared. Any suggestion?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] x-flyer:
Check /cache/recovery/last_log to see why it failed
[MeMO Pad 7 General] xristos2:
Something about sha1 missing. Can I flash the latest ROM from the Asus site and then update to this automatically?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
I made a Nandroid of the latest update over in the main thread. You can flash it in temporary TWRP.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] xristos2:
Can I flash the 12.10.1.24 from the website over my 12.10.1.24 to do a clean install?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
No, it'll give you an error.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] xristos2:
So, because I had xposed installed, I was rooted and generally changed some of the system apps I couldn't update to 12.10.1.33 from the file [MENTION=5550691]x-flyer[/MENTION] provided so I did the followings.

1) Uninstalled the xposed with the xposed uninstaller from here

2)Unrooted from the SuperSU app

3) Took a backup with the built in back-up app

4) I flashed this zip from here http://www.asus.com/gr/Tablets/ASUS_MeMO_Pad_7_ME176C/HelpDesk_Download/ and place it on my SD card, I did and unmount and mount of the card (or just reboot) and the system asked me if I wanted to update.

5) Download and install the zip from x-flyer. (Extract the .zip and rename the dlpkgfile to UL-K013-WW-12.10.1.24-user.zip and place it to the external SD)

6) Unmount and mount the sd card or reboot so the system find the update and will prompt you to update if you want.

No you have the update :D
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Have you been able to get Xposed to work on the update? All my attempts have resulted in a bootloop.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] xristos2:
No, and because I didn't know I was on a bootloop I tried to restore the nand backup I took after the procedure I described and the result was to destroy the partions maybe because I get "E:failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 on /sdcard" and now I don't know how to make my tablet usable again...

PS. I tried the v75 of xposed, which version you tried to install?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
I tried both the latest alpha and the Zenfone 2 build by Shakalaka.

EDIT: I looked in the update's script- looks like it modifies app_process32 which Xposed overwrites. Lovely.

I'll do some experimenting.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] tb79:
can somebody confirm that method?

[MENTION=6864064]xristos2[/MENTION] did you was on 12.10.1.24 yet? and when you took the 12.10.1.24 update file to sd it prompt you to update??? from .24 to .24???
[MeMO Pad 7 General] xristos2:
[MENTION=4235868]tb79[/MENTION], what exactly you want to do? Yes, I was on .24 at the procedure I'm describing.

I hope [MENTION=5479482]jerbear294[/MENTION] can find something about xposed. Dies root works at .33?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Yes, root works on .33.

I haven't found anything else out about Xposed yet. I might put the modified copy of app_process32 up on the Xposed thread. I may also try forcing the 5.1 version to install. ASUS may have installed the 5.1 version of app_process but kept the version at 5.0 to prevent stuff like this.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] xristos2:
You mean the xposed sdk 22 or Android 5.1?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Both are the same.

Either way it didn't work.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] xristos2:
Is there a 5.1 based ROM? Because with the .24 the ram management is awful
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
No 5.1 based ROM.

However the latest system update (.33) improved things a lot. The only disadvantage is that Xposed cannot be installed (doing so will make the device bootloop), and I haven't made any progress on fixing that yet.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] :
jerbear, where do we flash next after we're done with the lollipop update from this thread?

EDIT: Using the TWRP to flash the .33 since something happened and the device got soft bricked; Updating the post as it goes.

EDIT2: TWRP flashed it in 5 minutes, booting now.

EDIT3: "Android is upgrading" screen, optimization of apps is under process.

EDIT4: "unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped" problems.

EDIT5: Did a factory reset and now I think I'm stuck at boot loader.

EDIT6: Its not stuck, its just a long boot load.

EDIT7: Everything seems to be working, all now I have left is to figure out how to root and reinstall everything.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] therealprof:
Hm, either someone tempered with the dlpkgfile or Asus decided to add tcpdump to the device. Now why would Asus put tcpdump on there?!?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] :
[MENTION=6682465]therealprof[/MENTION] did you get root working on .33? I can't get the device rooted.

How to use that nandroid zip?

Via temp cwm in can't install it!

Via temp cwm in can' t restore it, no file found!

Same with the twrp app!

:(
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Maeke.fr:
[/COLOR]

first of all, save your important files.

Use the temp twrp and do a backup of your current system,

then reboot,

replace your backup by the unzipped files (important, you can't use the zip as you found it),

use temp twrp again and do a restore,

finally i think you should do a factory reset, and when you finished setting the tab, copy back your files.

for further instructions wait for the help of our real pros.

me176cx

hi guys,

Followed the procedures on 1st page.

"Downgraded" to stock .128 from .128 not allowing upgrades and it all went smooth.

Current version of LP is 12.10.1.17 WW

I downloaded a file to go from .17 to .24 from Asus site. Upgrading it using the same process I got til here is ok?

Rooted my me176cx, nuked most Asus and Google bloatware and also their "partners in lag", and it runs smoothly.

Should I upgrade? Heard of a .33 version but wasn't available on Asus site (only for TW and JP). Is there a .33 WW to download?

BTW: great job to all who contributed in this thread - Thank You
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
I have a Nandroid for .33 in the main thread- since you've gotten rid of the bloatware and rooted you can't install the update, but you can via Nandroid.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] r41m31:
But safe to install .24? I suppose Nandroid .33 is an "alternative" version?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
It shouldn't be possible to install .24 on a rooted device but it won't hurt to try.

The Nandroid .33 is a workaround, yes.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] r41m31:
Didn't work :)

Thanks for the info!
[MeMO Pad 7 General] praveenbm5:
I updated to Lollipop on my ME176cx but want to get back to Kit Kat.... is there anyway we can do that?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
No.. The only way is getting custom bootloader and install kitkat..
[MeMO Pad 7 General] praveenbm5:
Thanks Ruben for the reply. So is there a custom bootloader for this device?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruben Craveiro:
Its being made, jerbear has made it, but it has a few issues like not being able to use vol+ and - to go into recovery and stuff after he fixes it, he will create a tutorial and it also needs to be an easy and safe way of unlocking, so we should wait at least a month.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] praveenbm5:
Jerbear .... waiting to hear from you....
[MeMO Pad 7 General] r41m31:
roll back

I realized at this point that I have gone to far on my cleaning process. I am at version 12.10.1.17

Can I rol back to original lollipop or move to version 33.

I tried with normal process on start of this thread, and fastadb with no results.

TY
[MeMO Pad 7 General] bigcucaracha:
I can' t fount stock original ROM (stock until OTA.182) for my ME176CX WW in ASUS support site, could anybody help me ? Thanks in advance !

Thanks!
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruwin:
Dudes, 33 sucks the battery like hell for me. How about for you?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Yep.

At least [MENTION=7057426]Penguineh[/MENTION]'s working on AOSP- the battery drain's not something we'll have to worry about for much longer.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] MaDDaWg836:
I'm currently on .33 and i got there via nandroid flash. I wanted to go back and i made a nandroid backup of my old fw (28 i think). I reflashed it and it felt like it was stuck in bootloop. then i reflashed stock .33 and it worked again. do i have to do a full reset and then flash or do i have to start from .182 and work up? i really cant stand having to charge my tablet every single day. i lose 20% overnight in about 6 hours.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] Ruwin:
I guess you'll have to go through the complete procedure and skip the .33 update. I have the same issue, I guess we all have the fantastic battery drain. You could also flash a nandroid image with the older version if you manage to find one. Maybe someone who's on the older version can make one and upload it? If not, and you're forced to take the long road again to the older version, please do a nand bkp and upload it.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] :
[MENTION=5479482]jerbear294[/MENTION] can you post a list of all applications on the tablet? Something is draining my battery and I think its because I either deleted something I shouldn't from the app list or something is draining because Asus.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
It's definitely the latter, .33 has a battery drain issue that can't be fixed by freezing apps. Not even Power Nap for Xposed, Greenify, and Amplify can fix it (and believe me, I've tinkered with those apps for way too long).

The only way to fix it currently is to downgrade to the previous ROM version. The only issue with that is you're sacrificing performance for battery life.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] :
My current average battery life is around 8-10 hours while underclocked to 1.463 Ghz; Question though [MENTION=6686222]jarbear[/MENTION]294, does underclocking boost battery life on this device? Usually I reddit a lot and use metal for facebook with youtube in there, so 8-10 hours seems fine to me.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
That's not the issue itself. The battery life is fine when you're using it- put the thing in standby. The battery drains incredibly fast in standby, and that's an issue.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] :
I got around 1% loss for 7 hours standby time, Ill upload proof and the nandroid backup, I think I fixed that issue by freezing everything with "services" in its name (except google)

[MeMO Pad 7 General] seamo123:
I've been getting that "This is for K013, you're a K013_1" message too when I tried to apply an update to the first version of Lollipop..

Did you manage to find a workaround for this? I'd already turned off checking and no luck.

Also, I'm not sure exactly what pad I actually have... ME176C or Me176CX. Where can I verify this?

P.S. I wish I could downgrade back to KK, words cannot express how much I hate Lollipop. :(
[MeMO Pad 7 General] seamo123:
Out of interest, how does one go about installing .24 and .33? Do you flash the zips using the temp TWRP or do you install them via adb?

I've tried to flash the first .24 update and get the 'This is for k013 - your device is ko13_1' fail...
[MeMO Pad 7 General] seamo123:
I've updated to the Lollipop version (WW 17) you gave a link for, how do I apply the further updates? (i.e. WW versions 24 and 33) Should they be flashed using the temp TWRP? I tried this and it didn't work, any suggestions?

Also, is there any possible way to get back to KK? I hate Lollipop.. it's garbage. Can't even run xposed on it. My device was GREAT a week ago, now it's a piece of crap.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] MaDDaWg836:
i think you use the OTA updates for 24.

can you do us all a huge favor and when u get on 24 make a stock rom and boot for us people who are stuck on 33?

i changed my services and it temporarily help battery, but now its back to everyday charge which is annoying as ****. im tired of this tablet
[MeMO Pad 7 General] seamo123:
Well, OTA update to v 24 doesn't work, in fact NO OTA updates have ever worked on my device.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] seamo123:
Help anyone?

I've updated to the Lollipop version (WW 17) you gave a link for, how do I apply the further updates? (i.e. WW versions 24 and 33) Should they be flashed using the temp TWRP? I tried this and it didn't work, any suggestions?
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
You have to use a Nandroid of the latest version (this is what I did)

I'd link it but androidfilehost is blocked at school.
[MeMO Pad 7 General] seamo123:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: I found your upload on Androidfilehost and figured it out - I'm running v33 now, thanks! :) Is there anything to recommend v33 above v17? For example, does xposed framework run on v33?

I have a BIG problem though, I can't root the thing now. I tried the method for Lollipop http://xdaforums.com/memo-pad-7/general/asus-memo-7-me176cx-t2814046/post64316670#post64316670 and it's a fail every time. Any suggestions?

When I installed temp TWRP it asked me did I want to keep system read only - I answered no. This wouldn't have affected rooting, right? Also, I went straight from v17 to v 33, bypassing the v24 update completely. Was that the wrong thing to do?

Anyway, I'm without root and considering a nice game of frisbee with this infuriating ASUS contraption....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[MeMO Pad 7 General] seamo123:
Is it possible I can't get root now because of some problem restoring the nandroid? This is the file I downloaded and restored: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347832070

It's the correct one? I don't know.. I had to unzip the file into a folder I named with my device's serial no as well as creating a folder inside that folder that I named after my own nandroid backup that I'd done earlier. Only then did the TWRP 'see' the backup, and it restored it without any hitch. Except I just can't root the bloody thing..
[MeMO Pad 7 General] jerbear294:
Strange, I rooted it fine :S
[MeMO Pad 7 General] seamo123:
I'm stumped. And the fact that my unrooted pad is now a steaming pile of poo doesn't help either, obviously. Is it possible for me to revert back to v17 and try again? Here's a screenshot of the files from your nandroid that I restored. Everything's present and correct I guess? Should I have swapped the recovery log from your nandroid with the log from my own backup? Or would that make no difference? I was using temp TWRP when restoring your nandroid if that's relevant - T4 option was chosen. Never cared much for TWRP over CWM anyway, I always found it a little squirrelly..
