[General Questions and Answers] Rv22:
Method confirmed!

I also managed to root my newly bought Asus Memopad 8 using konsolen's method, with slight variations:

* The backup step was skipped, as I didn't really have anything to backup on my just-bought tablet.

* Downloaded the .57 firmware from the Asus website, copied it to the sd card and renamed it to MOFD_UPDATE.zip

* The factory reset step was skipped

* Booted the tablet into droidboot

* Flashed the files using fastboot.exe in Windows. I used the fastboot from a different root kit I tried before. (fastboot in my Linux installation wouldn't see my tablet). I didn't flash the update.tlv file, as I couldn't find it. The "radio_firmware.bin" file was from the firmware zip.

* Selected with the Vol- button the "SD dowload" entry from the menu, pressed the power button and disconnected from USB.

* Followed the rest of the steps as in the guide by konsolen. During the second "start flash" step, I saw some errors, but I still stopped the flashing process after two minutes as in the guide.

I recommend installing the intel phone flash tool beforehand so you have it ready when it is needed in the middle of the boot process. I found the rooting process a bit trippy so I wouldn't advice this to the faint-hearted. However it is great that there is now a rooting method for this tablet.

So many thanks to konsolen developing and documenting this method, and to shakalaca for the ROOT ZenPhone tool.

:good:

Downgrade on Windows 8.1 64bit

Hi,

I got a problem on step 6 (Intel phone flash tool): The drivers for the Intel SoC mode where not installed correctly since they are not signed or the signature is unknown to the system. Result: The device was not detected by the phone flash tool.

Installing the Intel software on a Windows 7 64bit computer brought a signature warning during installation so I was able to install and use the drivers. Everything went fine!

[General Questions and Answers] konsolen:
Congratulation torsten, fine that you get it!

ps. i try at the moment a zenfone 2 with the 4gb ram.

For now i found the power very low. Because the better hardware than our pad, its very laggy. but the better droidboot is interesting and give me new ideas for this pad.

Driver install on win8 is to do with a reboot and disable driver signature.

Same as adb ones.

Is there any progress in the development of the nandroid app? When do you expect to publish it?
[General Questions and Answers] konsolen:
I can backup all partitions with the app.

Restore is possible with system and data.

But its dangerous to restore on a running system.

So iam looking for a solution like the intel cwm tool, to boot in cwm.

But our tab makes troubles to boot it temporary.

So i am trying with patched boot.

So, all in all it needs a little time. I dont know why just our tab is so extreme secure.

The asus zenfone 2 and other asus products are easy to handle.

can't upgrade ME581C with OTA after rooting

Hi all:

I have rooted my ME581c using konsolen procedure (Thanks konsolen for your work :good:) without any problem downgrading to "WW_V11.8.2.58" firmware. The problem is that I can't upgrade to newer firmware using OTA. I have talked with ASUS support and they pointed me to manual upgrade (putting new firmware on internal storage). I have tried it, but after that root is not active. Now I'm restoring nandroid backup with ".58" firmware and root working.

Do you have any idea why OTA is not working?. Is there any other option to upgrade firmware and maintain root?. ASUS has launched Lollipop for ME581C.

Thanks in advance.

I've updated yesterday to Lollipop, but there is no more Root. Tested also some rootings with Intel Android Device Root Package, but still not work. I think we have to wait untill it would work. I choosed this way, because of the better battery management in Lollipop.

can't upgrade ME581C with OTA after rooting. More information

Hi all:

After restoring "WW_V11.8.2.58" firmware, OTA is not working also without rooting. I have reset it to factory values, but it doesn't work. I tried to downgrade without flashing "update.tlv" file, but OTA doesn't work.

So my options are, either keep FW 58 with root or update to FW 72 (or Lollipop) without root. Do you have any suggestion?.

Thanks in advance.

Hello

I just received my ME581CL and was wondering how to uprade the tablet to Lollipop through my PC, not OTA.

Any ideas? I would like to use the last package on asus website and bypass all the other udates/upgrades, or is it necessary to do ALL UD before upgrading to the latest version?

Thanks in front.
[General Questions and Answers] sadsfae:
I was able to do this via rom manager (from Google play store). I'm not happy that I did however, because I lost root on 4.4.2 (via zenphone root) and 5.0.1 runs like crap. There's not a root method available for 5.0.1 available either currently. Unless you really want some feature of Lollipop and don't care about having root to remove the 3rd party scumware I'd hold off. You might want to hold off anyways until ASUS releases a 5.1.1 update.

Hello,

I have a solution for this.

I had the same issue on my ME581CL Lollipop with the Konsolen method at step 7. Errors on files flashing, black screen, no more Droidboot, nice brick.

>I have repeated exactly the method described: selected binaries and img, checked "On-demand flash mode" and plugged in USB, excepted that I pressed VOL+ & VOL- & POWER, the 3 keys at the same time, and tried to power on and off and on and off several times, still with VOL+ & VOL- pressed, and suddenly I saw the IFWI.bin firmware passed !! In result I could boot in Droidboot (KitKat version) :D

I dropped the Konsolen method (thanx for his work), I searched and succeed to:

-flash an Asus service ROM​

-flash KitKat stock ROM​

-upgrade to stock Lollipop​

-root​

Set up the environment before flashing image

Install “IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.5.0” and “iSocUSB-Driver-Setup-1.2.0” (pic. 1) on your PC/NB:

1. Download and unzip the KK factory image:

File name: OPEN_ME581CL_V11.8.0.83.1.32.1-eng-201412231159-rawdata

2. Press device’s volume + and power key buttons at the same time, as the ASUS LOGO shows up, release the power key then the device will enter into Fastboot mode

3. Connect the device with your PC/ NB

4. Conduct the” MP-flashall.cmd” in the KK factory image folder, downgrading to KK factory image.

5. As step 4. is finished, type “cmd” in the search bar of the same factory folder and open the cmd.exe file (pic.3)

6. Input “adb reboot bootloader”，put the device into Fastboot mode again (pic.4)

Now that you have read "L to KK image downgrade SOP.pdf" you should understand better. Take time to read carfully these informations, one after one, the step by step guide is already in your hands :)

The Custom Flash button should be there. Did you installed this version "PhoneFlashTool_4.4.4.1_external_win32" ?

Hi, I am looking to dynamically add a tile to the QS panel. For example, say I have some application which records and shares videos, now this tile should only show on QS panel if GameCast is installed on the device, it shouldn't be a part of the systemUI/src. Maybe GameCast installation gave the tile of record and share to the device. I have read the developer request 42616 (couldn't post the link here) which is a request for QS APIs, so currently Android gives no way without changing the systemUI.apk.

Is there any other way, a work around that I can use to do it?

Here is an easy fix for anyone who has used the Wolfdroid TowelRoot method for rooting their Canadian S4 on 4.4.2 NI2 and has lost auto-connection to a WiFi network with a saved password.

I've read a lot of bad advice involving reflashing kernels, stock resetting, efs changes, etc that are clearly based on speculation. This method can be performed right on your device and takes like a minute. More importantly, it actually works.

Warnings:

- do this at your own risk, you are responsible for your device, blah blah blah...

- only tested on my device for this exact problem and firmware. I can't tell you if this will fix any other WiFi issues or if it works on the i337 (or any other variant).

- if you don't read this whole post I will ignore your (already addressed) questions.

- no promises.

From what I can tell the permissions get screwy when using this method, so following these steps worked for me and should work for you.

1. Use a good root file manager (I use solidexplorer).

2. Navigate to data/misc/wifi/ and find wpa_supplicant.conf.

3. Change the permissions to rw-rw--- amd ensure that the file's owner is 1000 (system) and its group is 1010 (wifi).

That's it. My permissions were r-r--- after rooting, so I made this simple change and WiFi now automatically reconnects to my network.

Cheers and good luck,

Rob
