Okay, thanks. So apparently it wasn't something that I did. Thankfully I knew about using TWRP from my old days.

BTW, I don't want to sound ungrateful. Despite the (self-induced?) problem that I had installing the ROM, I'm grateful to @Magendanz for providing it.

After I used an Uninstaller to uninstall a core application, I got into a boot loop. I was able to do the Odin flash procedure again, so I was able to recover. But since TWRP automatically started after three loops, it occurred to me that it would have been a lot easier to recover if I had...

Okay, thanks to a post by Zippy Dufus I realized that I was in a boot loop. (That is, TWRP didn't auto-start. A race condition somewhere? Does having an external SD card affect this?) So then I had to read about how to "hard" reset a T510. Vol Up + Pwr got me into TWRP. But it's been a long...

Am unable to get Odin to flash the ROM. Update: Problem solved. (Doncha hate when this happens? I guess running thru the steps in a forum gets one thinking.) My solution below. ------------------------------------ After starting the process (running through the list of partitions), Odin gives...

No, I haven't had time to play with rooting lately. I still would like to root it tho.

Thanks. I did see SP Flash Tools mentioned and I did take a look at it. While I've rooted before, I'm trying to get my head around a Scatter File. Everything I've read so far - well, almost everything - says that I need TWRP to get Magisk installed. But if you think it can be done via SP Flash...

I found a website called unofficialtwrp.com. It has a TWRP for the MediaTek 6739, running Oreo 8.1, with 16/2 GB. That's exactly what the Nuu Mobile R1 has. So, hopeful that this would allow me to root my R1, I tried it. (Short version: Didn't work.) I already had ADB installed and could talk...

I contacted Nuu Mobile Support and they were kind to send me the MediaTek USB drivers for the R1. It was a two step process to get the driver installed for ADB. But now I have access to the R1 via ADB. I read here on the forums that I can boot TWRP via fastboot, and not risk ruining/corrupting...

More data for TWRP'ing So, I see that one needs an image of the OEM ROM to compile TWRP. I found two sites on the web that claim to have the ROM. (Before the R1 was officially released.) Sounds sketchy. Will try to get an image from Tech Support. In the meantime, I found that the bootloader...

I just bought a Nuu R1 Rugged Phone. It has Oreo 8.1.0 on it. It is an "unlocked" phone. But I don't know if unlocked refers to the phone carrier or to the boot loader. (I'm thinking phone carrier.) The last I rooted my tablets was Android 5, which required using a custom script that a dev...

Someone asked CAT on Twitter if CAT would be willing to sell a Rooted S41 for, like, $30 more, without warranty coverage for bricked phones. (No loss to CAT that way. A win-win since they would make money.) CAT said Not Interested.

CAT says No Oops - posted in wrong forum. I don't see a way to delete.

I'm still running 4.7.1 rooted. (Waiting on someone to write up - or make a video of - a foolproof step by step method to upgrade before I try.) I started by pruning the ASUS image .zip file, removing apps that I didn't want. Then I used Link2sd to freeze other apks. And DisableServices to kill...

Sent you a PM about paying for SM. Please check your Notifications in xda.

Please, where is the "mirror button"? The best I can find is a setting under More to play the screen on the Roku. My Roku shows up, I get the start of a connection on the TV, but my tablet screen never shows up after the gas gauge stalls about a third of the way.

Using the free app DisableService, I have 3 services in Splendid disabled, 1 in SplendidCommandAgent., and all services in Tru2Life. (In fact, I have T2L frozen too.) That stopped brightness fluctuation for me. (Old LP.)

I use a free app called DisableService for this kind of tweak. I don't recall right now which system service it is, but it's an Asus app and, IIRC, I have disabled double-tap in the past. Update: It's called DoubleTapService under SystemUI. And you have to reboot for disable to take effect...

I've noticed that too. I suspect that it's Asus's "double tap the screen to wake" feature. (My Nook HD+ doesn't have that feaure, and with Greenify, my battery details shows a flat line (no discharge) when my Nook is not in use.)

Uh oh. NSA hacked your tablet?

Excellent. (That was quick.) Please let us know how it goes.

Amazon is only 30 days. You'll need to contact Asus.

One year, IIRC. Battery might not be covered. But worth a call to find out.

I'm thinking that your battery has gone bad. Still under warranty or no? Unfortunately, I don't know of a battery replacement, let alone if anyone has done an ifixit on how to open the Zenpad.

Wait. You said you powered it down and then later "booted up." So the unit was off, as opposed to sleeping? If so, then the problem isn't related to the OS, 'cause the OS isn't operating.. It's your battery. It's self-discharging too fast.

Good idea. If someone starts such a thead, please post the link to the thread here.

Thanks for the guide. The link to your screenshot is missing.

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?

One way transform? Since it seems like the cwm tether trick doesn't work with the MM update, then updating is a one way operation? That is, if you update to MM, there's no going back? (Would a Factory Reset take you back to the OEM LP or the newly installed MM?)

Anyone got a sceen shot (or a link to one) for dummies like me?

How do I preseve ext SD? I don't plan to upgrade to MM until someone figures out root. But I read ahead and learned that MM can integrate your ext SD card into main memory. I don't want any changes to what I have now. If/when I update to MM, do I have to do anything proactive to preserve my...

Looking at this from a high level block diagram perspective, I'm guessing that because the MM update has to be installed in a special way, it is modifying partitions in a major way, breaking things for us.

So, did you use ChainFire's Systemless root? http://www.xda-developers.com/chainfire-releases-root-for-android-6-0-without-modifying-system/

Might want to update the OP to say that, for now, root only works with Lollipop. (As opposed to Marshmallow firmware.)

So, once this happens, you can't go back into tethered cwm and restore a Backup?

I stand corrected.

I'm not trying to be demoralizing, but see my post from a while ago about MM probably not being rootable due to its inherent security updates: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=65137742#post65137742 IIRC, ChainFire had written some stuff about workarounds he had to do to get root...

The US site for the C is still showing 4.7.1 as the latest. I trust they'll update it soon.

Funny, 'cause most everyone here has been wishing for MM.

I didn't know it did that. But there is a service called com.intel.thermal. I figure that that service throttles back the CPU. But perhaps it also throttles screen brightness? It can be disabled with the free app Disable Service.

Not so Splendid I also used the free app Disable Services to disable most of Splendid. IIRC, it was also trying to adjust the screen. ---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ---------- Okay. Well, I don't understand why that would be. I don't play games...

I started to reply because I thought you were saying that disabling T2L caused flickering. But upon rereading, I think that you're saying you disabled T2L because it was causing flickering? (Which is why I also disabled it.)

Yep, and per my link, I disabled Tru2Life.

Not sure what you mean by adaptive brightness, 'cause that's easy to disable with a tap. Maybe you're referring to this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64287664&postcount=91

The S3 has a slightly larger battery than the 2. I figure it'll take another year before the battery dies in my current 2. Perhaps by then we'll have root for the 3. 'Cause I'm not buying one unless it can be rooted.

What a goofy way to market a product. Don't tell anyone about the new S 3? I stopped reading androidpolice. ( For religious reasons.) Did they report it?

Zenpad s 3 How long has this been out?https://www.asus.com/Tablets/ASUS-ZenPad-3-8-0-Z581KL/

Rooting takes care of bloatware. I don't play games, so don't need a gyroscope. (But doesn't one know that it has no 'scope before purchase?) Never had an acore error. (I think that has something to do with Contacts. But I have Contacts disabled.) My touch screen is fine. I have a few months...

I find that time is mostly a function of screen brightness. I'm rooted and GSM Battery shows a fairly flat line when my tablet is off. I use my C in an airplane for a moving map. When on at full bright, I get just over 4 hours. It will easily make 6 hours with the screen at half bright.

I believe you. So, we should expect an update from Asus soon. (Although to confirm, yours is still the Intel unit? (Not the new one.)) For those of us in the states, where could we buy one and be assured of getting a July build?
