Hi guys. Sorry to post in here, but would any kind soul help me in unlocking bootloader and/or rooting zenpad z380m?

Do you think this Rom will work on my tablet, since it's the same model but different variant?

I can't seem to find any development on my Zenpad z380m, and it's a shame such a good tablet to be ruined (imo) with the asus stock Rom! Thanks in advance you guys!

Hi

For unbreak you must from custom recovery install the rom

Custom rom is not problem installed, but the screen is malfunction. It's seem locked within bootloader. I've tried to reflash firmware by custom recovery but E: failed by signature blabla...

Flashed the latest CM13 nightly and the latest one from Vasy's site and both put me in a bootloop. I boot and the Asus logo is stuck. I can boot into recovery and everything. Any ideas on fixing this? Coming from 5.0.2, unlocked the bootloader via fastboot oem unlock, flashed vasy's TWRP. I have also flashed Pico GApps along with the ROM.

Anyways, if anyone wants it I've dug through 4PDA and XDA for about 2 hours to compile this list:

[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] gewin:
Not sure what has caused your problem. I just flashed the lastest cm13 20161007 and everything is working great. Also has the October security patches.

Only difference I see is that you are using a different version of TWRP. I am using 3.02-0 Install and download instructions are at http://www.jellydroid.com/2016/05/how-to-install-twrp-on-asus-zenpad-8-0-z380kl/ .

I am using open_gapps_arm_6.0-pico-20100719.zip.

I'm on twrp-3.0.2-0-20160407-P024.img by Vasy.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] gewin:
Sorry out of ideas then. Thankfully I haven't had any of these sort of problems. All I have done is root the standard 5.02 with kingroot, install TWRP using flashify, factory reset clear everything flash cm13 and gapps. Haven't installed xposed, Haven't gone through a bootloader unlock procedure, haven't changed any kernel settings. After each cm13 update clear Dalvik Cache. Let me know if you need any info re other settings that might be different between our machines that might help diagnose your problem.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] xDark_:
I'm flashing via TWRP, I wipe everything but Micro SD when flashing (but I've tried a factory reset), unlocked my BL, no changes to kernel
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] gewin:
Hope you are having better luck. It is nearly 3 months since I did my original flash of cm13 and this old brain is a bit fuzzy on how long the first boot took. I seem to recall I had to wait quite a long time for the first boot to move off the Asus screen (maybe 5 minutes).
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] bangdes:
I have a same problem and now my zenpad has sent to asus center. I assumed the bootloader not unlocked yet very well. You may look at bootloader screen and padlock still there. I think we should wait 'unlock bootloader utilities' from official web.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] xDark_:
I have the padlock but fastboot devices oem-info says it's unlocked.

I don't think they're ever gonna make an official unlock tool.

Last time I tried, I left it for around an hour and nothing. I'll try again though.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] bangdes:
The kernel should be updated, last twrp still using 5.2.x source code and new one available on 5.4.x
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] xDark_:
So it might be TWRP causing the issue? Got a link to the new one? I tried flashing back to stock v4.8.2.0_WW_all_users but it gave me this error:
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] gewin:
Don't understand why would my twrp version 3.02 be working for all the cm13 flashes I have done if this version of twrp is the problem.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] bangdes:
Your base rom should be on L, but mine is M. The point is cm 13 for P024 still partial, not universal port yet.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] gewin:
But I thought XDark_ 's base rom was 5.0.2 so his problem should not be twrp.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] gewin:
Final thought. Is it possible that flashify (for rooted machines) installs twrp and does whatever to the bootloader; differently than using other methods to unlock bootloader and install twrp.

I know the flashify method has worked for me and others when coming from stock 5.0.2.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] xDark_:
So how should I proceed?
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] bangdes:
Isn't your bootloader has unlocked, right?
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] gewin:
Not sure. If it was me, even though you may have already done some of these steps, I would go back to the method that has worked. Ie reinstall stock 5.0.2, root it with kingroot. Reinstall the original twrp 3.0.2 with flashify, do factory reset wipe all caches install first cm13 & google aps. If that doesn't, work there is definitely something different about your device.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] xDark_:
It says it's unlocked if I do fastboot OEM device-info but I still have the padlock on the fastboot screen.

How would I flash stock? I tried flashing 4.8.0 via TWRP but it won't install.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] gewin:
I haven't done it but early posts in this forum indicate factory reset install using twrp from zip on sd card. If it does work I would re download and try again.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] xDark_:
I've already done that. Gives me the error above.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] gewin:
Have you tried installing it from internal memory not sd card.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] xDark_:
Haven't. Kinda can't though since I don't have an OS and the computer can't read it as a USB drive

Install CM13 to Asus Z380KL

I found a pretty good guide and it help me install CM13 to my Z380KL without problem at all. Running smoothly now and this is what the tablet should be performing.

[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] gewin:
Good link, interested to know if you were coming from android 5 or 6.

Future updates to nightlies should be possible via settings - about - cyanogenmod updates and you shouldn't need to root cm13. Just click on build number a few times and enable development options.

I agree, for me cm13 on this tablet makes it a great device.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] squall77:
I am already on Android 6 stock and flash straight to CM13. I didn't even root it. One thing is that I don't see any stock recovery, all is done via temp twrp recovery. So now I am on CM13 with gapps without root. clean and nice. The only thing is that everytime you want to update your CM13, you would need to boot to fastboot, boot into custom recovery and flash.

Never try flashing the custom recovery afraid it might break.

Very interesting. Thanks for the info. This certainly gives options for people starting from Android 6, which has appeared to have problems with the methods I used when starting from Android 5 and installing twrp permanently . Now cm13 is easily available to all.

Is CM13 really stable for daily use? and don't have any bug? right now using latest stock rom from asus support and working fine.

I think GPS is a little buggy and some random battery drain but otherwise stable.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] zilan:
Okay then i'll stick with latest stock rom (WW5.7.2) right now as it pretty stable (security patch september 2016) and might not fast as CM13 updates.

Btw, any custom kernel that support wake gestures?

You do not need to unlock bootloader.

I installed it yesterday evening. But I can't reboot to recovery. Is it wiped by reboot or something? I flashed cm nightly recovery
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] awandroid89:
Are you using adb reboot boot twrp.img? If yes, it just temporary boot.

So you mean its completely bugless or atleast no major bug as stockrom? The downside just no double tap to wake right? Sorry to ask many question, I still using stock rom and still studying custom rom for this tab as not much tutorial or forum thread discuss about this tab.

Fastboot oem unlock not working for me, so one solution is temp
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] gewin:
I using cm14.1 as my daily rom. I found cm13 very stable. Cm 14.1 at this stage is not as stable I have had about 3 unexpected reboots over the last 5 days. I think these reboots are app issues I am usually using firefox when these reboots occur. Will update to the latest nightly this week I'm sure that will improve stability. As yet I havent tested the telephony component all other aspects of the tablet seem good. I don't know whether it is my imagination or not the response when opening apps seems a bit slower at this stage.

As per my earlier posts I have twrp installed permanently and use the normal cmupdater in settings with twrp to apply updates.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] korenisko:
I have installed cm14 nightly from 24.11. but display rotation not working. Rotation worked on nightly from 23.11.

So, you have permanent recovery, and have unlocked bootloader previously?

Because I started using cm from 23.11. nightly. 24.11 wanted to update to new nightly, so started cm updater from settings menu. It downloaded update, rebooted phone, then probably recovery? updating in progress screen and reboot to bootloop. So, I made clean install and can't reboot to recovery. How you go to recovery?
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] gewin:
I also just finished updating to 24.11 and display rotation is working on my device. I have a permanent twrp install so cmupdater works because it just boots to twrp for the install. To be honest I am not 100% sure bootloader is unlocked but I have twrp permanently installed so I think it is. I just followed the instructions in early post in this forum to install twrp. There has been some discussion saying this method may not work if you are coming from android 6. I came from 5. I have enables advanced restart in the development option for cm this gives you an option to restart in recovery.

So far 24.11 seems good.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] korenisko:
I have advanced reboot activated, but Reboot to recovery just reboots to cm. Thank You. I try to go to stick 5 then unlock bootloader
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] awandroid89:
Here is my quick finding on CM14.1 build 2411

1. When I change battery style nothing happen.

2. We have double tap to wake option on setting but its not working

3. Rotation not working

Build 2511 is out. I will update and see if rotation is working or not.

Update: Just update to latest build and rotation still not working so I install sensor box from playstore and orientation sensor is not supported.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] korenisko:
So, I did bootloader unlock :P

First backup cm, then from twrp recovery did adb sideload and loaded stock rom (5.0.2 android) then to fastboot and fastboot oem unlock worked fine.

Next in recovery I wiped all and restored cm14 backup. Now, Im downloading todays nightly to test and try if it installs successfully.

So, to unlock bootloader you need downgrade to stock 5.0.2. (beer in mind, that your warranty is gone after bootloader unlocking)
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] awandroid89:
Are you facing rotation bug?

[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] gewin:
Don't understand why display rotation is working on my device. Both in 1911 and 2411. After installs I do clear dalvik ie app cache before rebooting.

What do you actually mean by display rotation not working?. I can rotate from portrait to landscape either way.
[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] korenisko:
It just not rotate from landscape to portrait and over. It worked on previously build.

Edit

Autorotate bug has something to do with gapps. Russian forum talkers recommended to install nano. I have installed pico, so may be this is the problem...

Good point coming from stock5.1 to cm13 to cm14 might be a difference in what others are experiencing. I have never had a problem with rotation.

I have a 128g microsd card configured as external storage and it is working fine. I don't use it for apps just media and data. The card acts the same way as cm13. Most apps I use don't write to external storage. EsExplorer can, camera can. I haven't had access problems. This is the same card I had setup under cm13.

Hi Z380KL users. I was thinking about buying this tablet, but in my country i have only the 1GB RAM option. I was interested 'cause it's officially supported by CM Team, so i wanted to ask if the 1GB version could worth it too, and if CM13 or CM14 made noticeable improvements to the tab. 1GB with stock I think will be a little laggish but maybe CM13/14 brings fluidity overall. What do you think? Thanks in advance!
