Z301MF 32GB scatter file

Hi,

I followed your instructions to make the file pgpt.bin as per below. Do you have the possibility to make a scatter file?

File here:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=12AEtPliqIKXtVGPgIwC_UQLH4ERrc-1S

Thanks,
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] diplomatic:
Actually, there's something I just recently realized about SP Flash Tool. It automatically resizes the userdata partition to fill all the available space. That means I don't need to make scatter files for each emmc size. There can be one universal file for the whole Z301 series. Here, try this one. Pretty sure it should work on your tablet. (If it does something bad, I'll fix it for you, don't worry.) Let me know if it succeeded.
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mard82:
Hi!

I managed to get TWRP onto my ASUS Z301MF with the scatter file you provided. I flashed with the latest stock ROM and still have 32GB available, so no problem there. Thanks! Unfortunately, the problems I'm trying to solve are still there: The setup wizard crashes, but I followed the instructions on "https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/143360/error-looping-unfortunately-setup-wizard-has-stopped#143361" and managed to start the tablet again. When booted up, the screen behaves in a weird way. I have only a single home button - no back or menu button and the tablet prefers to be in portrait instead of landscape although in some apps such as Chrome it shows that it knows I'm rotating the device, because the home button icon rotates! This all started when I replaced the screen, so I suspect that it's the new screen that is strange.

Any ideas on where I should start to look for a solution? Or should I give up :)?
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] diplomatic:
[MENTION=10010243]mard82[/MENTION], glad to hear the scatter file worked out for your tablet. I can now simplify the scatter file collection on the OP.

The stability problem is almost certainly due to hardware. It may be that the new screen is not compatible. A lot of people have run into issues replacing screens on their ZenPads. All Z300 & Z301 screens look like they're interchangeable. But in fact, certain screens are intended for specific models. Did you get the same high-res display as the original?

Otherwise, it might be a bad cable connection or something. It might be worth reseating the cables. Or maybe even connect the old display if it still shows anything, and see if the issue goes away...

Late to the party

I have a z301m and I've tried everything. Now I'm in the position where I can get it to fastboot but that's about it. No os.no factory reset. Stuck on Asus screen when turned on (doesnt even say in search of incredible)

Any ideas? Sp flash just isnt working with it, and the device state is down as locked. Can someone please help?!
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] diplomatic:
How did it get like this? Has it been flashed with SP Flash Tool before? Do you know if it has Android 6 or 7 on it?
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] vanboylan:
I finally managed to sort it... as it was kocked to demo mode, it didnt seem to matter how it was flashed, I'd always get those irritating 'allow asus live demo to access your devices contacts' etc

The solution was to flash it with TWRP 3.2.1 using so flash tool (so using da_pl.bin as described in the original post and the z301m scatter file you graciously included)

I downloaded a flashable zip file of magisk manager on to an sd card. Once the tablet was flashed with twrp and turned off completely i held vol up + power to get to the bootloader, and selected factory reset. This then brought up twrp's menu. I selected install, and chose magisk from the sd card. This flashed magisk manager onto the tablet.

When I next started it, I went to magisk (tried on a different tablet and needed to download the apk so if it's not there that could be the issue) and installed it and updated it. Restarted the tablet and then I could install modules through magisk. I installed busybox, and then I downloaded termux and a root file explorer through play store. With each one magisk asks if you want to give super user access, so I clicked yes on each. I then type in termux

Su

Debloat

This helped me get rid of a few stubborn apps but the demo remained. In debloat, I saw their file paths and used the root file explorer to find and delete permanently. Once that was done, I got an error message saying asus lived demo keeps stopping. Upon reboot the issue was resolved!

The only thing is I get a red state message when I startup but it doesn't affect tablet functionality

Thanks so much for your great post - I couldn't have done it without your initial effort
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] diplomatic:
Oh, well that's a different problem than what you said before. The demo mode can probably be deactivated without root. Here's one guide on how to do it. If that doesn't work, just search for "asus demo deactivation". There are different versions of it that may need different steps.

It was the screen..

Hi,

I finally got a new screen to try with and it was indeed the screen that was of the wrong type. The screen for the Z301MF should be marked NV101WUM-N52, while the screen I had wastv101WXM-NU1. With the correct screen I managed to boot with rev13 of the firmware while rev 18 didn't work.

Thanks,
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] diplomatic:
OK, good to know, [MENTION=10010243]mard82[/MENTION]. The second part number you mentioned seems to be the screen for the Z300C series. So no wonder that didn't work. But with the new screen, I can't imagine why one FW version would succeed and another would fail. Maybe try it again. Also, it might be worth a shot switching out boot images.

Wrong LCD

Hi there,

my original problem is the replacement screen NV101WUM-N52 I got from a Chinese webshop for my Z301M. No picture. I later understood they perhaps should have sent me TV101WXM-NU1 (cracked one is KD101N59-42NA-A8).

My idea was to "change Android bootup resolution" which led me here to read this thread. And how warming it was to read I am not alone with this LCD.

I tried to read the thread in full to understand can I install another ROM/kernel/settings to support the 1920*1200 resolution of that replacement screen to avoid further confusion with the web shop as they clearly have no clue what LCD/digitizer combo they should send me. Or even the factory assembling the combos don't have a clue as the sticker on NV101WUM-N52 says "Z301M Z301MF".

Short boolean answer requested: Can I install some other version of the Z301M firmware to support NV101WUM-N52/1920*1200?
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] lososol:
Hi my asus z301M shows Asus logo, i can`t boot it, no recovery, how can I fix it?
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] diplomatic:
It sounds like you did get the correct part. That screen's resolution is 1280x800, not 1920x1200. It's true that there is a lot of confusion about replacement screens for the ZenPad 10 models. But usually, if the screen's incompatible, you get some kind of a scrambled picture. You said you get "no picture". If you're truly not getting any output, then there's probably something else at fault. It could be defective or not connected properly...

[MENTION=10118043]lososol[/MENTION], what's the problem? Just follow the directions (and guide links) for SP Flash Tool.
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] lososol:
i can go to fastboot, only. when trying to go to recovery via fastboot-reset device, nothing helps, can you give link please, for make correct upgrading via SP Flash Tool, thank you very much
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] diplomatic:
[MENTION=10118043]lososol[/MENTION], have you seen the first post of this thread? fastboot or recovery do not matter in this case.
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] lososol:
ok, than how can SP flash tool "see" my ASUS? Also where can I take drivers for device for Win10 x64
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] karhulitos:
How come you say it's 1280*800?

http://www.panelook.com/NV101WUM-N52_BOE_10.1_LCM_overview_34605.html

says it's 1920*1200.

I did manage to get picture with somewhat suspicious method: I booted the tablet with the original LCD (KD101N59-42NA-A8), picture ok. Now swapped the replacement NV101WUM-N52 while powered on and got scrambled picture, just like you would expect when resolution doesn't match.

Powering the tablet on while only NV101WUM-N52 connected, no picture at all.
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] diplomatic:
Have you tried it yet? SPFT uses a completely unrelated protocol exposed by the preloader and the boot ROM. The drivers are probably already installed or will be as soon as you plug it in. (Why ask and wait for an answer before trying it out?)

Oh, I guess you're right about the resolution. Some of these sellers have it listed as 1280x800. But it shouldn't matter anyway. AFAIK, the Z301M & Z301MF are basically the same device. Same internals except for the screen. The kernel is also the same and has support for all Z301M(F) compatible screens. The TWRP builds for both models use the same kernel. Does your tablet have the latest firmware? It may have been added in later versions. One thing you can try is install the Z301MF custom recovery along with Z301MF firmware. You would have to do that anyway to get proper UI scaling for that resolution. But if you can't even get TWRP to show anything, something else may be at fault. I think it uses some GPIO pins to do lcd autodetection. There might be something wrong with that.

Hi guys I've a big problem with this tab, I think It bricked.

I installed the TWRP for my model Z301M and It works fine, but the tablet doesn't! When I turn it on appears the Asus logo and stuck on It.

I try to install an original firmware from the asus support but when I go to install the zip in TWRP ERROR 7 comes up.

[IMG="Error 7"]https://i.ibb.co/khMS2Gb/photo6037158919664677185.jpg[/IMG]

How I can resuscitate my tablet? I try to correct the error 7 modifying the file 'updater-script' but I dont see any "assert" line.

I hope you can help me :crying:

Sorry for my bad english, I'm from italy :)
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] karhulitos:
Now that you say the kernel is same for both, I'll give it a go. Installing TWRP without touch or screen may be a problem but I'll figure it out somehow.

Firmware shouldn't be older than 6months. MF model was released earlier than M so that might indicate that actual f/w should have it.

But first, I'll wait for the web shop's reply will they replace the screen or not.

Thank you very much.
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] diplomatic:
Just to clarify, your tablet stopped working after you flashed TWRP? If that's what happened, did you use the correct scatter file, the Z301 and not the Z300 one? Because it sounds like the wrong one was used, which messed up your partition table.
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Atrox95:
Thanks for the reply

I think I used the correct scatter file, but if I used the uncorrect scatter of the Z300M I can restore my partition table?

My tablet stopped working after I flashed TWRP.

I tried to flash the stock firmware by using SP Flash Tool but if I use the scatter file contents inside the original firmware folder SP Tool show me the message "PMT changed for the rom it must be downloaded". Maybe this alert means that I used the wrong scatter files when I flashed TWRP... :rolleyes:

I have a beautiful paperweight now? :crying:
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] diplomatic:
[MENTION=10121270]Atrox95[/MENTION], the "PMT changed..." error means you definitely used a different scatter file before and now the GPT doesn't match the current scatter. But that's all right, these tablets are basically unbrickable. I think the simplest way to fix it is to reboot to fastboot, and issue this command:

fastboot oem resize_partition_table

That should "unlock" the GPT so that SPFT can rewrite it. I'm don't know for sure if this will work, though. Haven't tried it for this purpose. After that, reflash the recovery using the right scatter file. Then install the firmware package.
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Atrox95:
I tried this command and this is the result

I think this method doesn't work.. SPFT can't flash recovery, appears error "BROM ERROR : S_FT_DOWNLOAD_FAIL (2004)"

Can I try to flash the stock firmware using ABD and fastboot directly?

Thanks for your help,

I really appreciate it! :highfive:
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] diplomatic:
[MENTION=10121270]Atrox95[/MENTION], that error is a different issue. Make sure that your tablet is powered off when you connect the USB. You might have to hold the power button for a while to power cycle it. Or if you can get into recovery, shut it down from there. Then try flash tool again.
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Atrox95:
Here we go again... I changed the USB cable and I try it again. Now SPFT says again "PMT changed for the ROM it must be downloaded".

Have you seen my command line in the previosly screenshot? Is the command correct??? :(

If you can help me, I offer you a giant pizza, I promise :D
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] diplomatic:
[MENTION=10121270]Atrox95[/MENTION], yeah the command was fine, but I guess it didn't do the trick. We can clear the gpt through TWRP shell. Can you tell me what is the exact size of your EMMC_USER region shown in SPFT (after flashing or reading)? I'll use that to come up with the right dd commands to zero out the partition tables. There might be an easier way, like through firmware upgrade, but I haven't tested that....
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Atrox95:
Where can I see this value? I took the screenshot of the SPFT, is the value below?

If I click on the left side 'EMMC Flash' I saw this value:

Boot1 Size: 0x400000

Boot2 Size: 0x400000

RPMB: 0x400000

GP1 Size: 0x0

GP2 Size: 0x0

GP3 Size: 0x0

GP4 SIze:0x0

UA Size: 0x3a3e00000

When SPFT shows error the value close to red bar change to:
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] diplomatic:
Yeah, the UA size is what I was looking for. Open an adb shell on TWRP, and try these commands:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 count=1 seek=1
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 count=1 seek=$((0x1d1efdf))

If no errors returned, then shut down. (Your tablet will not be bootable at this point.) Reflash TWRP with SPFT using the right scatter file. Then boot to recovery, unmount system, and install the firmware. Hope that does it. :fingers-crossed:
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Atrox95:
Almost... The command works fine, I re flashing TWRP with SPFL. I unmount the Sytem from the 'Mount' Menù

But when I try to Wike Dalvik cache and cache errors come out. I try to install the firmware but this is what TWRP says

Now I try another file zip dowload from asus support..

EDIT: I should check the "Data" options in the Mount menù? Maybe it's work?

EDIT2: I can't check Data and another firmware doesnt work, same error :(

---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------

I did it! In the Wipe menù I selected 'Data' and I format this first in exFat and after to EXT4 and the installation gone well!

But now... My tablet is in a bootloop :crying:

UPDATE! I REBOOT THE DEVICE HOLDING VOLUME + AND VOLUME DOWN + POWER AND NOW IT WORK!!!

Thanks a lot my friend, without you I would have spent a lot of money for a new tablet, I'll offer you that pizza I was talking about :good::highfive:
[Asus ZenPad 10 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] diplomatic:
[MENTION=10121270]Atrox95[/MENTION], I don't think it was necessary to wipe or to format data in TWRP. (Did you check if it booted before formatting?) Android does the formatting automatically. TWRP doesn't handle the userdata encryption when you format. You need to do a factory reset from stock recovery. Just select factory reset from the boot menu because you already have the stock recovery installed.

EDIT: Oh ok, congratulations! I am in fact hungry for some pizza :D

asus P021 z300cg neither bootloader nor recovery

Hi, after reading of several threads I didn't find any solution for my tablet.

In order to get root for tablet, I made some flashing with bad results.

After poweron or poweron /vol+ nothing is displayed and no fastboot.

in Windows, I tried to install asus usb drivers, windows says that best drivers are already installed but any flashtool doesn't connect my tablet.

In Ubuntu, platform-flash-tool-lite 5.8.4 can connect my tablet, but it doesn't find any flash file in official asus firmware.zip file.

Any tips about how to face the problem?

May I try to flash some type of twrp/cwm flash file? eg, in some thread I found z300m twrp file. Could try to flash it on my z300cg tablet?

I'm trying to fix my brother's Z300M tablet, he just returned from overseas (at f-in last) but went to a shoddy shop in NZ and they installed the wrong digitizer so everything was inverted (he managed using a mouse all these quarantine months), looks like it's the same as #42 and #205, but thanks to your thread I've managed to root and edit /system/build.prop line for HW rotation from their 90 value, to 270.

Now, if I lock the orientation (because that doesn't fix the inverted touch, only aligns the screen to the inverted touch controls, so everything is upside down) the tablet is usable, but some poorly implemented apps (and other not so much, as Kodi or the camera) ignore the locked orientation and everything is back to upside down, so my questions are

a) is it possible to invert the x-y sensors? I've searched everywhere and tried everything, to no avail. There are of lots of threads here and there, but for different functions and scripts to edit in different Android version, nothing I've managed to make it work as intended (my intention is having an 180 degrees offest in sensors orientation, to compensate for the already working screen rotation.). Or, as some code says have X = -X and Y=-Y

b) as #205 answers, I know the device is kinda abandoned, but it is possible to have the compiled and recompiled kernel to comensate for mismatched touchscren? I don't think this thing can manage a 2nd touch replacement
