This is the first I've heard of some one changing modes and freqs on the Zenpad. I would like to change my governor. Please, is it a file change, a tweak apk, what?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Munk0:
Nothing too complicated. I just used "Kernal Adiutor (Root)" or "3C CPU Manager" or pretty much any of these types of programs. It's technically not an overclock but allows you to keep the MHz/GHz higher to get more performance at the cost of if using the battery faster. Also, on my device, when I set the CPU to "Performance" it would work great for long periods of time but then would freeze/reboot. Could be just my device though.

Cyanogenmod made a program called "Helium" available on the Google Play Store that allows backing up/restoring of programs and their data. I am using this temporarily since Titanium Backup requires root. You will need to run a companion program on your PC or through your PC Chrome browser as an add in, tether the ZenPad through USB and do a one, maybe two, time sync. From there you can backup/restore without the PC.

Reflashing my device worked!

Hello

I tried to apply the method described in the first post on my Asus tablet Z580C.

I updated my tablet with the latest Android Firmawe in Marshmallow

ADB drivers are enabled and focntionnels

My tablet is well recognized

And UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip file is on the root of my SD card

I run the file Laucheur.bat IntelAndroid-FBRL-05-16-2015-PTR

I write ACCEPT

And I get to the selection page.

I chose T2

This starts the bootloader on the tablet

I choose SD Download

And I have a message undetected ASUS_BUNDLE.zip.

I rename the file in UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip ASUS_BUNDLE.zip, but it focntionne not hard exclamation point Droid

I do not know what to do

Thank you in advance for your help

Je lance le fichier Laucheur.bat IntelAndroid-FBRL-05-16-2015-PTR

J'ecris ACCEPT

Et j'arrive à la page de selection.

Merci par avance de votre aide

This root method only works for Lollipop, there is no root method for the Z580 C or CA with the Intel processor on Marshmallow at this time.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Roger93:
thank you for your reply

Is it possible to switch from Android 6.0 to Android 5.01 with firmware that are on the ASUS website (I do not know how)

If I can be in Android 5.01 is what I can Rooter my tablet?

And if the root board works in Android 6.

But I do not know if this will always Root

It's a weird scenarion I recognize

Thank you

Roger

Merci pour votre réponse

Est il possible de passer d'Android 6.0 a android 5.01 avec les firmwares qui sont sur le site d'ASUS (Je ne sais pas comment faire)

Si j'arrive à etre en Android 5.01 est ce que je peux Rooter ma tablette?

Et si le root fonctionne repasser en Android 6.

Mais je ne sais pas si le Root sera toujours present

C'est un scénarion bizarre je le reconnais

Merci

[Miscellaneous Android Development] S. Prime:
I have not heard of anyone succeeding in reverting to 5.0.1, since the original tethering method doesn't work on Marshmallow.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gianni:
I think you can flash official firmware, I tried when mine was biked.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] S. Prime:
[MENTION=260403]Gianni[/MENTION] I guess you are referring to using the method where you flash a raw file to recover your bricked tablet and it may be possible, but I have not heard of anyone trying it to revert from Marshmallow to Lollipop. Here is the link to the tutorial, if anyone wants to give it a try.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3465203
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gianni:
It is the whole firmare, not an update, so it should not matter what is installed, anyway,I said pray God. Or ask Asus, they're all official firmware
[Miscellaneous Android Development] weezedog:
Yes you can use the Asus Flash Tool and the raw firmware to downgrade from Marshmallow to Lollipop, I have done it a couple times on my Z580CA tablet. Just make sure you select wipe data in the Asus Flash Tool, or the tablet won't boot right.

Been playing with the Marshmallow update, it's nice but I can't live without root and Xposed so I had to downgrade. If someone can figure out how to unlock the bootloader in Marshmallow we can get root. I hate how Asus uses their own settings apk that doesn't have oem unlock in the developer options. The bootloader won't unlock unless that is enabled.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hkjxda:
Where can we find the RAW firmware for the Z580C? I can't find it through any Google search.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] weezedog:
A link to the tutorial and raw firmware was posted a couple pages back and at the top of the current page here's the link again.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] marcolorenzo:
I got my ZenPad Z580CA in China so it's running the Chinese firmware. Does anyone know if I can flash the international MM straight away or do I need to prepare it somehow first?

Update:

I found here some information for how to change the firmware for the Zenfone 2 from CN/TW to WW. I figured I can just follow these steps but I need the matching stock recovery image for the Marshmallow FW. Does anyone know where I might find that? Otherwise, the one for Lollipop is also fine. I'll just flash that with the WW Lollipop and then upgrade to the WW version of MM as normal.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Servaas:
Probably not the right thread for this question, but can anyone tell me does the stock rom on the Asus support multiple users? Id really like to have a separate workspace for me and my gf but i'm unable to find anything about it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Pezo:
From what I've read, both Lollipop as well as Marshmallow support multiple users, but there seems to be a limit on MM on the number of users (not sure how many, 2 maybe).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] FSRBIKER:
In MM you can not add another user. Before you upgrade to 6.0 you can add users on the tablet and they will be there after the MM upgrade. I would think if you did a factory reset you will lose these users with no way to get them back.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vaeevictiss:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Servaas:
Can I ask you where do I need to put the MM zip on the tablet for the tablet to recognize it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gianni:
Even if Android is built on Linux most of the tools are Windows apps. And while the use of pc's if fading away they're indispensable for mobile devices maintenance.

You should create a Windows partition or vm
[Miscellaneous Android Development] FSRBIKER:
Just make sure it's not in a folder of your internal storage and then reboot the device and it should find it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Servaas:
Sadly it doesn't. I have however used the quoted link to flash the Raw fw that was mentioned in this thread. Could that have anything to do with it? Perhaps that has a broken update... whatever you call it.

Can anyone confirm using the Raw file to flash to LP and then has updated to MM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] steboni:
I' m not an expert but I did and It works with Asus firmware from support page.

Just put the firmware zip file on the main directory (from Linux the first directory shown on screen connected device ) and as I disconnected the cable It was discovered.

Did you check it has enough memory and to have the correct firmware, as Asus said? I mean WW->WW version ...

Second , is it your Zenpad rooted ? It should bè stock before you try.

If you checked those things, It should show a warning and start.

This is all I can say, Hope It helps
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Servaas:
I sadly did all this and yet no update prompt. Did you unzip it or zip it when you put it on there? And did you just use the name that the zip file came with?

Did you downgrade to Lollipop using the raw file in this thread? And then update through the support page?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] steboni:
Mine was stock untouched, always Asus upgraded.

I use the file as It was downloaded from support page.

Maybe you have to downgrade but i never use Asus flash tool, so I can't help on this side.

By what I read, it's importante to do a clean installation,so be careful.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Servaas:
My question is more related to the updating AFTER using the .raw file provided here.

Very happy with the Z580 so its a keeper.

This has been my favorite tablet and, for now, it's a keeper. I've owned the following:

Nexus 7 (2012)

Nexus 7 (2013)

Samsung Note 10.1 2014

Dell Venue 8 7000

Dell Venue 8

I pretty much bought every one of these used at over half the asking price. They are still used most every day as surveillance camera monitors around the house. But the Asus ZenPad Z580CA is the one I carry around and have with me for gaming, browsing, etc. I really believe it's a great tablet with flaws but still the best from the list above.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] coolbeans2016:
Not KL

I know, not talking about Verizons KL, found a 380m, has z380m-a2-mr I believe is device.... 2gb ran for $150, but lists medistek chipset. But, everytime I search on it all the links take me to 380m`s with intel chipsets.... like the only one listed w/mediatek. Since its on fingerhuts site, was thinking it might be an error. Ah well. Been sitting tight with my Asus Memo Pad 8 for 2 years... its still performing up to par. I use the built in media-server alot on home network. Nice feature, can browse from samsung smart tv to it, play downloaded movies! Thanks for the reply.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] macallik:
Staying with this tablet for the foreseeable future. 8 inch tablet is the sweet spot and they are harder to come by in general, let alone for less than $200. Also, a lot of the enhancements in the market seem better suited to phones than a media consumption device like a tablet. The only current enhancement that I would like on my tablet is a fingerprint sensor (and I suppose I wouldn't mind better speakers a la the Idol 4S/Axon 7) . All of the newer Nougat features I can take it or leave it.

Oh and prior to the Zenpad 8.0, I had an extremely buggy Nexus 7 (2012).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wtherrell:
Well, I'm going back to my Nexus 7. While I like the this Asus as far as price, UI, performance, etc: severe battery drain while powered down.

I got an RMA and returned the device to Asus with clear description of the behavior. They allegedly fixed it, but it's still doing the same thing. I charged it to 100%, powered it down. 36 hours later I booted it up and battery is down to 75%.

Looks they removed some bloat and consolidated others!

And I agree battery life is a lot better on mm. The aggressive doze helps, and Asus' own autostart manager isn't bad either. I turned it off once, and batt life went down. I am running adguard though which takes up some juice... I do miss adaway from when I had root.

Hi,

I have rooted my Zenpad s 8 with 64gb and now I have problem with inferior audio quality. When connected to headphones with bluetooth or wired the problem is the same. I uninstalled some and apps via Titanium backup and t might be that uninstalled something important.

I installed Asus Audio Wizard and it is acting strange. All frequencies are cut -12Db and I can't even move those sliders. If I use some other EQ I can move sliders but it doesn't work as it should be. The low-end is missing when compared to my Nexus 5.

Can anyone give list of audio related packages and apps that I should reinstall.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] loner.:
I had the same problems until I updated to Android 6.0.1. Now it like a new tablet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] heisenberg_wern:
Actually I'm not sure anymore that the problem is with rooting and messing around with Titanium. I read from the internet that Lollipop have had problems with audio and there is an option in developer options called "Enable nu player". Disabling this and audio may work better.

The problem is Asus have hide this option and cant be found

Of course updating to MM would be another but I want keep this tablet rooted.

Which firmware should I use?

I used the wrong firmware...ASUS ZenPad S 8.0 (Z580CA) Firmware: V5.5.0 (for JP SKU version only).. I believe I was supposed to use this one: ASUS ZenPad S 8.0 (Z580CA) Firmware: V5.5.1 (for WW SKU version only)

The difference being the WW vs JP... I completely black screen of death killed my tablet and had to send it back to Asus... Fingers crossed. Just wanted to bring up the topic and make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else.

You will need to unroot first and be aware that there is no root process for MM on this device. Your data should be intact but backing up is never a bad idea when updating.
