Asus 6.3.6 wont update

I followed your 5.2.5 root and it worked perfectly.
Tried asus firmware 6.3.6 update but no success, it went back to old one.
Then i tried your 5.2.5 to 6.3.6 and it started update, but about 20 % it said error, now back to old one again.

Do as it says.. no idea whats wrong, cant update in any way

Anyone?

after I delete some unnecessary files, internal sdcard has 1.2GB free space, and I 100% follow the steps, but I still can't upgrade to Kitkat, it prompt error message after few minutes

i don't know what is wrong with my device.

Your update file is corrupted I guess have you checked MD5 hash

because i deleted some asus apps when i rooted it and i put some other apps into /system/app folder.

if i do factory reset, those deleted asus apps still missing, right?

Hi,

My FondPad7 doesn't have enough space to put "dlpkgfile", can I put it into Removable/MicroSD and change "command" file to install it:
--update_package=/Removable/MicroSD/dlpkgfile


Why don't you factory reset it then? This might help you

my problem is same as his problem. i checked my update package MD5 value, it is correct.

so i don't think it is update package file problem, it is caused by other things.

Edit: In the Play Store I have an update for Asus Launcher, but it's not possible install. Say device not compatible.

Do i need xposed framework in order to update to 6.3.6 ?
Tried to install it, most versions, even the new 4.3 that was supposed to work. Got bootloop in all of them.

Alright, thanks a bunch for fast reply and a good site.

Seems as the problem is elsewhere, following the tutorial and get error on 20% update.

I had the same problem and my update file was corrupted maybe same scene is with you. Have you checked md5 checksum?

I think many fonepad users has this issue. MD5 checked and at 100 %.

I could have erased some app after first root(without great knowledge =)), and maybe that could stops all updates? Just a thought.

If you removed some factory apps then you might have to first flash 5.2.2 and then update to 5.2.5 and then to 6.3.6.

    Tethered CWM Session Explained Tutorial here Thanks to @social-design-concepts

    ROOTING BUILD 6.3.6​
    Thanks to @MEHRDAD595 For Tutorial and @fussel323 for root file
    Explained Tutorial can be found Here

    Flashing Back From KitKat​
    I have seen people who want to know how to roll back to 5.2.5 because they are facing some issues in current build. ASUS might release a much stable build but for now you may have to roll back in order to resolve these issues. So follow this tutorial in order to roll back to 5.2.5
    For this you will need
    1. 5.2.2 Stock Raw Image which can be found here
    2. Partial Update from 5.2.2 to 5.2.5 which can be found here

    So lets start
    1. Download and copy ME372CG_all_WW_user_V5.2.2.raw file to your external SD card
    2. Turn Off your FonePad 7 and start Droid Boot (press and hold Volume up button and Power Button)
    3. Select SD Download
    4. Now your FonePad 7 will reboot and start flashing Build 5.2.2
    5. After that when you are done refer to @MEHRDAD595 Rooting Thread here
    6. After Rooting Download Partial Update file and rename it to dlpkgfile (make sure there is no extension)
    7. Using Root Browser copy this file to /cache and make a new file in /cache/recovery named "command" (no quotes) edit it using text editor and enter following
    Code:
    --update_package=/cache/dlpkgfile
    8. After that connect your FonePad 7 to your computer in USB Debugging Mode.
    9. Using open.cmd (yes the one you used while rooting) enter following command
    Code:
    adb reboot recovery
    10. Now your FonePad 7 will reboot and start updating. Once this is complete you will get Build 5.2.5.

    Enjoy


    *Note: There is no other way to roll back without root (There is might be a way but I need tester)

    Official Asus Firmware updating guide can be found here

    Install Applications to External Storage
    To do this simply follow these steps
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Asus Customized Settings
    3. App Installation Settings
    4. Preferable External Storage, Now select whether you want to install apps to "internal storage" or "external" or leave it to "auto"

    Using Partial Updates (If you are stuck at 3.2.4)
    >>From 3.2.4 to 5.1.6
    1. Root your 3.2.4
    2. Download V3.2.4_To_V5.1.6_partial_update.zip and rename it to dlpkgfile (make sure there is no file extension)
    3. Using root explorer (It can be found on Google Play) move dlpkgfile to root /cache
    4. Make a new file in /cache/recovery and name it command
    5. Edit command file and write following code into it
    Code:
    --update_package=/cache/dlpkgfile
    6. After doing that connect your FonePad7 in USB Debugging mode to your computer (To enable USB Debugging mode go into Settings>Developer Options and tick USB Debugging) (To enable Developer Options go to Settings>About>Software Information and tap Build Number continuously about 6-7 times)
    7. After connecting your FonePad7 with your computer using open.cmd (this package can be downloaded here ) give following command
    Code:
    adb reboot recovery
    8. Your FonePad7 will now reboot and start installing system updates


    >>From 5.1.6 to 5.2.2
    1. No need to root this time. Just download partial update file and place it inside the folder where your adb drivers are extracted.
    2. Connect your FonePad7 to your computer and Run open.cmd file and give following command
    Code:
    fastboot flash update V5.1.6_To_V5.2.2_partial_update.zip
    3. Your FonePad7 will now reboot and start installing system updates.


    >>From 5.2.2 to 5.2.5
    Follow same tutorial as used for 3.2.4 to 5.1.6


    >>From 5.2.5 to 6.3.6
    I have already mentioned this method in the starting of this post find it and use it.


    >>From 6.3.6 to 6.4.2
    Just download partial update file extract it and copy the zip file which you got after extraction to root of internal memory. You will get Update Notification. (If no update notification just reboot your FonePad you will get it)


    >>From 6.4.2 to 6.4.4

    How to restore IMEI for ME372CG when not registered with Network Provider

    1. Download 3 files from link to your laptop or PC with 32 bit OS, Win XP, 7, 8 or 10 (64 bit will not work unless the driver is available)
    https://drive.google.com/folderview...bi04T2oyOGp5THB5Z1pNd1NLZEd1Wkk&usp=drive_web

    2. Copy file ME372CG_all_TW_eng_T3.0.10.raw to SD card (FAT32 formatted)

    after copying wat's the procedure to flash file ?
    Its very very simple , download the zip file from asus website extract it and there is another zip file inside first one ,put it on your internal storage disconnect from pc and you will get update notification on tablet just touch it and press update , update is done automatic and you do nothing more .
    It takes less than 10min
    After copying zip if you did not get update notification just restart tablet once and it will be there after reboot.
