zenpad 10 Z300CNL Model P01T - GSM use

hi, as I was looking for a "mod" to my zenpad 10 Z300CNL Model P01T, i get all this info of several and diferent mods and roots and so on, and honnestly I not sure if I even need to go that far for my needs. I was try to get the GSM radio working on the tablet, this is - use the avaiable 2G/3G/4G networks to allow me to make phone calls under the GSM network. My sim Cards is a regular mobile phone with voice and data in it. Is there a way to go "inside" the software and release the GSM, and let me make and receive phone calls over my gsm phone number? Is possible with a "mod/app", or eventually i will need to root it? Cos I was thinking that is not a hardware thing. Who have some ideas about this?

There is no update, no ROM, no nothing and in time this tablet is sooooo old-fashioned and slow, we cannot even make a 5year old kid happy with it.

[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] user1209283475:
AMAZING MAN! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Rooted fine, took literally 2 seconds and did not even use linux, just did everything in Windows 10.

Old tablet has new life now, just pm disable com.asus.systemupdate and pm disable com.asus.configupdater and pm uninstall -k user 0 a lot of other rubbish that comes with the tablet.

Only need to try and mess with com.intel.thermal package for overclock but I guess that's too dangerous.

I might add that I don't find a reason as to why you would need SuperSU. I just use ADB for everthing, even just connect remotely by "adb connect 192.168.1.x" and install whatever apk or do whatever operation in su mode that I need.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wanted to mention, for people who have problem with "waiting for device" once device is in fastboot mode (i.e. you have tried "./fastboot devices" for example in windows and it doesn't list youer device)

you will need to go to Device Manager > Unknown device (under portable or mobile devices)

right click then go Properties, go to Driver Tab, click "Update Driver" > "Browse My Computer" > "Let me Pick" and "Have Disk"

Now put the drivers below in a folder, navigate, click on the "inf" file and use "ADB Fastboot device" in these drivers

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last thing, is it possible to flash TWRP here? Not having recovery is not good for me, since there is a lot to do, maybe try lineage see if it works, change some IDs for the tablet etc

I hope there is a custom recovery but I guess the tablet is old.
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] andreoide:
Oh wauw.

Now if lucky we can root this old piece of junk which never was a fine nice tablet to work with anyway.

Root don't make it a diamond, if succesfull you own a rooted piece of junk....

Hi billythefly, have you used SuperSu or another root tool? the link to SuperSU is broken and I was wondering if you used Magisk or anything else
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] billythefly:
Hi, i only use the files you'll find there : https://www.partage-temporaire.fr/2020/05/01/asusrootkit/

(go down and choose "Télécharger le fichier").

It is important to use the asus driver. Once installed, you can access fastboot with adb. Then root using the .img files. I used the rootV2 for my Z300C but if you have a Z300CG, use the other.

Hope you succeed.

[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] ^uzuul^:
Salut (I'm also French ;))

I indeed succeeded with just using the fastboot oem unlock/confirm commands, the uploading the root v2 img.

To others: note that I'm running linux, so no need for USB drivers (as on windows).

So far, no real needs / interests. The tab is rooted, but most of the debloating can be done without. A few more apk that are just disabled may be fully removed, but I'm not in search for storage, mainly RAM. And then some TWRP / Lineage OS image that doesn't exist. I may devote some time to playing with that, but this tab mainly serves as a book reader :D

thanks again for the feedback

PLEASE CAN YOU PUT A TUTORIAL CAUSE I M LOST THANKS
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] the_cr0w:
there is one at page 4 but sadly im stuck in the first part: windows installs tablet drivers before i can let the tool install the right ones, infact when i adb reboot fastboot, the pc makes the sound that does when you plug-in and out something via usb, in repetition

OK I DID IT, when i have some spare time i'll try to help you too!
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] billythefly:
Hi,

You find the good tuto page 4 (from reaktor).

It's the good way to succeed.

The most important and difficult thing to do (i have to try several Times) is to connect the tab with Asus driver installed.

I made some mistakes when installing the driver and try many days. You have to make everything indicate in the tuto.

Once connected, just apply fastboot command to unlock bootloader and adb flash for Root.

Good Luck

[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] the_cr0w:
@nabilyacine1982

in the end for me the problem was all in the driver installation. what i did to overcome that is:

- extracting adb-setup-1.4.3.exe like it was a zip with 7zip

- going to device manager>action>install legacy driver

- selecting manually the driver from the "driver" folder (pick the file android_winusb.inf) and installing one by one the three drivers that show up after selecting the said file (for this you have to repeat the second step)

- launch command prompt in adb (you can easily do this after installing adb by launching adb-setup-1.4.3.exe, the not extracted version, then: press win+r, write cmd and press enter, then write cd c:/adb in the command prompt that just opened)

- reboot in fastboot by writing adb reboot fastboot

- go back to device manager -without closing cmd-, in unknown devices there should be a new one that appears and disappears (if it doesn't, try updating device list some times), click "update driver", then go for the manual update > choose driver from list > show all the devices > next > now try the first or the second one you just installed

- the device should stop "blinking" and so the sound should stop

- download the v2 root image that has your device name in it from here and put that into C:\adb

- now go back to cmd and write the following code, entering after every sentence

fastboot oem unlock
fastboot oem unlock confirm
fastboot boot root.img (insert the exact name of the file you downloaded instead of root.img)

your device should reboot few times then boot rooted. to check this download root checker from play store and see what it says

if you can't install drivers from my tutorial try following instructions from post #361

if you need further help let me know

Hi everyone,

Glad to join your community.

As you may have guessed, i also got this Asus device ;)

Although rooting it would be smart, my main concern is to install libflashplayer on it.

I managed to find on the web files for Intel based android systems, since those on Adobe's archive site are only ARM compiled.

=> libflashplayer.so to be copied in /system/lib/plugins

=> flashplayer.apk to be copied to /system/app

Of course, i need root priviledges to do so (tried unsuccessfully with adb, of course).

Reading [MENTION=1400937]peppet[/MENTION]thustra's comment, i was wondering if it were possible to download firmware from Asus site, add my two files to the firmware, repack it and install ?

What do you think about that ?

Is there a way to achieve this ?

I saw there was a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file in the FW archive.

Do i simply need to add my 2 files to that manifest, calculating their SHA-1 digest ?

Any help, advice or comments appreciated.

Hello

Hello, i tried every single root

Nothing works.

This tablet is most beautiful as screen and audio quality and price is best!

But I hate that everything is so slow!!! I want to overclock, or just adjust to normal speed.

Why are those people blocking everything with this device??? What they would think, that i would uninstall these built in apps??? Fuk that I want to speed up!

I swear to god I donate 10$ to whoever root this ****.

If not being to its normal speed its just like galaxy s 1, chunky junky, garbage.

bad battery

Has anyone of you experienced bad battery life, my battery is not losing charge when of or locked with wifi OFF but having the latest update android system is eating 3 to 5 % every 10 minutes I am browsing in chrome it used to be half of that. Do you have any idea whats wrong. It also does that in safe mode
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] reaktor TuT:
My battery life isn't too bad. I get around 5 to 6 hours SOT .

I would suggest using the 'Browser' app for web browsing. If you update it via the web store, the new version has a built in ad blocker. When set up to block all ads it makes the browser run much faster and use less power than Chrome.

Still, I do wish this tablet had a faster CPU... oh well, the price was right :good:

For detailed battery stats go to Battery in settings, then click on 3 dots, then select Power Usage Chart. You can view battery & CPU stats in enough detail to find your battery hogs. Hope that helps.

[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] N8theGr808:
Hey could you help me with this? I'm stuck
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] apiner.inc:
Hi everyone I'm new here. I have a few things to say:

To root the ASUS zenpad 10 Z300C (using windows 10 or linux) you have to did what @InvisiBot comment in the #45 comment. (at this moment is in page 3).

when you try to run the command

> fastboot oem unlock

there is a chance that you see the message:

> <Waiting for device>

To fix this you have to download the fastboot drivers for the ADB. (I've attached the fastboot drivers and the the Intel_android_driver ).

First install the Intel_android_driver.

Second do this:

1. go to Device Manager

2. right click in the unrecognized device (ignore the sounds of connection/disconnection of USB emmited for the PC)

3. click on Update drivers

4. click on Browse my computer for drivers

5. click on Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer

6. click on Have disk...

7. click on Browse and select the folder with the unzipped fastboot drivers

8. Click next and finish.

After that you will see the device in the device manager with some name as "ADB Interface" or something like that.

Then you are ready to run the command using the fastboot tool as described by @InvisiBot in comment #45.

If you have any doubt send me a DM.

This really is good game !

I followed your tutorial, everything went smooth except i also am stuck with fastboot not detecting the Z300 although adb does :(

Has anybody a link to a fastboot binary for windows 10 able to detect Z300C and able to boot it with custom image ?

Thanx again [MENTION=7258101]Stifi0815[/MENTION], your solution is probably gonna solve my libflash problem. Once i get root acces to /system/lib, i should be able to pull my libflash.so lib.

[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] Stifi0815:
I had troubles using fastboot in Windows 7 as well. Maybe your problem with Windows 10 is related. It turned out that it was a Intel driver issue. When the tabled entered fastboot mode, the devices manager listed the device as Asus and some Chinese symbols. I manually installed the Intel driver (the same I used for adb) again. After this the tablet was detected correctly in fastboot as well and I could access it.

Unfortunately, I forgot where I found the drivers and I do not use Windows anymore.
[Asus ZenPad 10 Questions & Answers] NoisilySilent:
I am using IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.10.0, which seems to be the lattest version. Tried to reinstall it while Zenpad in Fastboot Mode and plugged in ... unsuccessfully.

I also tried a pendrive with Ubuntu Desktop 14.04.3 LTS on it.

Got fastboot source code from Github (urls://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+archive/master.tar.gz) and tried compiling it.

Unfortuately, building fastboot requires a whole lotta requisites and cannot be built standalone, from what i have seen (many includes from other android core elements).

Where did you get the fastboot source code ?

May you provide a link to it ?

I feel a little depressed to be so close to pushing flash to my Zenpad :o

Again thanx a lot for your tutorial, it's still our best piece of information.
