In a terminal...

apt-get install android-tools-fastboot

...would be a good start. You may need to register the device vendor in your configuration, which I can research later if...

fastboot devices

...lists nothing. Hope this helps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syncline:
Hi...I was having issues with my ME180A (WW variant) where the OTA update would never take (I had the tablet rooted) so when I finally found this thread and the associated stock ROM install instructions I thought I would give it a go to see if I could clean up the mess that I must have made rooting and de-bloating my tablet. I got adb and fastboot install on my win 8.1 machine with no problems, got CWM (from your link) installed on my tablet with no issues but when I tried to flash your original rom onto my tablet it would get partially through the install and then I would get

set_metadata_recursive; some changes failed

error in /data/media/0/K00L_Back_To_Stock_Untouched_Orig.zip

status 7

and the install would fail. I think this has somehow screwed up my bootloader because now my tablet constantly reboots into CWM no matter what I do. When the tablet is connected to my Windows machine, the drivers don't get loaded so ADB and fastboot just sit at "waiting for device" after I try some of the different commands. I'm familiar with flashing ROMs onto my phones and have never had an issue but I have had a lot of difficulties with this tablet. Do you have any advice to solve the bootloader and ROM flashing issues?

Thanks in advance for any assistance that can be provided.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerJimLahey:
Hmmmm, I guess this is why I made two files, but the other may have similar problems because of this issue.

I will see if I can change the updater program. In the meantime, pop the other back-to-stock file onto MicroSD, reload CWM, and try that one. Report back to me in any case.

UPDATE:

If the above fails, try this one as well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syncline:
Joel,

I tried to flash the other back-to-stock file as you recommended however the end result was the same.

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

E:Error in /external_sd/K00L_Back_To_Stock_Re-Perm-Linked.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

Are there any other things that you can think of that I can try to get this issue fixed? And thanks for all your assistance, it is appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerJimLahey:
So the third file I created (in my post update) replaces the updater-binary that would be causing issues with that particular CWM.

Third times the charm... :fingers-crossed:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syncline:
Things worked great that time with the flash working and the tablet rebooting properly however now it is asking for a password to decrypt storage and this is the first time I've ever seen this. Any thoughts?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerJimLahey:
Were you encrypted before?

Could do is a nandroid of the data partition and then factory reset. You will have to set your apps up by hand again, but it is better than that message.

Sent from my MeMO Pad 8"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syncline:
No I wasn't encrypted before but from what I read it seems to involve a failure to mount the DATA partition correctly, and the Android OS erroneously assumes it's encrypted. I'm not overly concerned about setting up apps by hand, I do have a titanium backup of my apps and data. As I'm still at work, I can't do too much playing around on my tablet. I don't have access to my personal computer that has all my tools like adb, fastboot, etc. until the work day is done. I've said it a couple of times, but I truly appreciate the assistance that you've provided.

UPDATE: After booting back into CWM, doing a factory reset and a format of the /data partition seems to have done the trick. I'm back into my tablet and currently updating all the pre-installed apps that require it. One more quick question Joel, you mention that the ROM is rooted and I do have SuperSU installed, however when I run the app it tells me there is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it, can I just install the latest version of a flashable SuperSU zip with CWM to fix this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerJimLahey:
That's an interesting side effect...never had that happen before.

You can try it, and let me know. Hopefully your CWM is still kicking around, or else you will have to reinstall via fastboot. Or alternatively, just re-root normally (like with Kingo).

By the way, before you do that, does /system/xbin/su exist? Or what you could answer, is you could download Voodoo OTA RootKeeper and report back which values are not checked off. I think SuperSU update.zip places the su binary, nothing else. But we shall see.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syncline:
Sorry Joel, I didn't see your reply before I flashed the SuperSU zip but it did work, my tablet is rooted again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerJimLahey:
No worries,I'm glad it's working for you. :cowboy:

So the zip does more than places the su binary, such as setting permissions (which is what was probably missing, probably due to ArchKitchen resetting the permissions) and setting security contexts. Think what I will do is tack on the SuperSU update to the updater script, make sure root is had in the future.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topol-Ms:
Hi

Thanks for this, i bricked my tab and using ubuntu and hsve succed to install he cwm but when i tried to install the stock rom it starts but freezes in about 80% , my tab is an US one not a WW . Is there anyway to install the stock om

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerJimLahey:
I imagine there is an incompatibility between the WW variant and the US one.

Hopefully you backed up the bricked ROM as part of the instructions. May be able to revive that one depending on what was done to it.

Using Ubuntu, flash back into CWM and pull the CWM backup files to your PC. Something like:

adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod .

Make a copy and extract the contents of system. Patch the missing/bad files (only what you changed, don't replace everything) with the ones from this ROM. When done, recompress the system backup, and push the folder (as a new folder - you still want to keep the old just in case) to the clockworkmod backup folder.

Back in CWM, go to restore backup, and locate your new set of files. There shouldn't be anything too awry with this to make it not boot (unless you made significant changes to brick the tab in the first place).

Hope this helps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Topol-Ms:
Thanks i made something and it worked, what i have ond is in cwm i formated the system and data and the sdcard then i reflashed the rom it worked just fine thanks for the rom
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LabreaTarpit:
Please tell me you still have this file... the link for it is down I'm currently getting the same error as this other person.

set_metadata_recursive; some changes failed.bad=4

E:Error in /data/media/0/K00L_Back_To_Stock_Updater-Binary.zip

and

set_metadata_recursive; some changes failed.bad=4

E:Error in /data/media/0/K00L_Back_To_Stock_With-SuperSU.zip

status 7

installation aborted

I don't have any original backup as I didn't have cwm previous to getting boot loop, so I had to go unlock bootloader install cwm, as recovery wasn't fixing the loop I also tried just deleting data, cache and dalvik and restarting without installing rom first, which it still bootlooped...

Hopefully my tablet isn't now just a useless brick...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerJimLahey:
Both my downloads (in the OP) I have now have the updated binary. So you were already using the fixed version. [emoji4]

I wouldn't leave something inherently broken up. By the way, error messages are different.

Which leaves (for now) ... Which model, code name, and SKU/region are you using this for?

By the way, review the original thread as well. Depending on what you did to brick, there is a way to use a broken CWM backup to fix your tablet.
