[Asus MeMo Pad 7 : ME172V] [All in 1 App] Roms, Rooting, Bugs, General

[nerotNS]

Tried VPN using Uk, no update

Tried VPN using Turkey, no update...

Any other ideas?

Well I guess you *could* restore someone's dump that has the latest version. I don't guarantee it will work, so make your own dump just in case something goes wrong.

seems too risky...rather not end up w/a brick!

My pad is isn't showing the latest firmware update and won't let me download it.

Any tips?

What firmware version do you have?

In the meantime you can do a full dump using dumputil, just to have a backup of your rom

It's not risky if you get a dump of your current system. That way you can restore it back if the system fails. You can hardly brick it then.

I'm almost sure that rootutil doesnt work with your firmware version...

But you can try to use it anyway...

If it will not work (boot loop) you can reboot the tablet with the same sd card you have used for root and select option unroot.

It will restore your original kernel and uboot environment.

If you have already made the dump, put the dump of partition 1 (mmcblk1p1) somewhere I can download it (send me a private msg with link) and in the next days I'll make the version of rootutil that works with US firmware version.

Hello, I am having similar issues to someone that has already been stated in this thread:

--> my device still stuck on "download mode"
(...)

I was in the same situation. My tablet connected to PC with loaded driver for WM8950 displayed same android with yellow construction helmet.
Without connection it was in recovery mode (android laying on its back).

My way was:
1. dump (DumpUtil v0.2) - for safe
2. root (RootUtil v0.1) -> black backlighted screen after reset (because of no system update before - see story above)
2. unroot -> tablet works
May this scenario will be right for you.

Using DroidHD Utility Delux, I was rooting my ME172V and during the process my cmd closed. Now, no matter what I do, the Asus logo shows on re-boot for a second and then I get a screen that says "No USB cable connected!" on my tablet. I have tried every variation of button presses to do a reset, and it always comes back to the same screen.

When plugged into my PC I get a pop-up for WM8950. I can't find any flashing software will now recognize my tablet...

Help?

You've sent it to download mode, and we don't have the ASUS software needed to flash it. You can restore a dump, that should fix your problem.

For the record: DON'T try rooting this tablet with anything else, as most root methods do a reboot bootloader or reboot recovery which causes these types of loops.

Beta APP

Since our "beta tester" team has not given much feedback I will now release the beta of the app.

GET IT HERE:
http://ampc.joops.dk/app/

REMEMBER THIS
- You need to remove any version of the old script from your External SD Card before installing this (Move it to another folder or to PC)
- The app is 30 MB since it has all the scripts/root kernels etc. Included inside.
- Some functions are not complete and might be buggy (LOG and BACKUP OVERVIEW)

PLEASE PLEASE if you try it give feedback...any feedback please (suggestions, bugs etc.)

WARNING:
Remember this is beta and if for whatever reason you brick your tablet it is not our fault!

To solve android with exclamation point screen....leave the tablet WAIT some minutes (more than 5) it will reboot automatically into normal kernel.

To solve "No USB cable connected!"...on the top of right side of tablet there's a little hole, this is a reset button...press it.

With "DroidHD Utility Delux" you can't root me172v, the only app can be used is my rootutil (read the OP), any other wont work!

Just wanted to confirm this before I do something stupid, I rooted with a 4GB SD Card, and then switched back over to my 8GB SD Card. The 8GB card doesn't have any of the files from the root zip, so am I fine to install the app, or is there something I need to remove on the device storage itself?

 

[frank_que]

Thanks for the input. If I could get the tablet back into a normal boot sequence, I would attempt this way of rooting. However, I came across this thread after using DroidHD.

I have also tried the reset button. It reboots and does the same sequence (Asus for a second and then the no USB connected screen). Any other ideas?

Did you try to boot with sd card with dumputil or rootutil?

Sorry but I dont understand your question...but I try to answer...

If you have rooted successful your tablet you have just to save the contents of dump dir of sd card you have used to a safe place, just to restore it if you want unroot it...

Yes you are, as long as you don't have the me172v folder in the root. After first run you can copy your dumps back if u want. But best to do a new backup using app.

Sup guys, sorry I've been very inactive, lots of stuff going on right now, and I've been very busy these past few months and have not been able to catch up with the developments
I've seen the new application and will install it on my tablet soon, oh any anyone bother making an official video review or anything about the tablet? I can make one if anyone wants, as for the beta testing, I've been checking Gmail every now and then, nobody has emailed me for any further details about it yet, I would appreciate if you guys can email us for any updates

PS Hopefully in 2 weeks time I can get back to modding my tab, as I said I've been very busy

Sadly there's not much I can see on the website yet, rather than the new app, would anyone mind making an updates section in the webpage?
may it be from minor bug fixes to major new upgrades, other suggestions for the website would be a more friendly UI as the website is a little, not that nice... (lol sorry for being a bit high expectations, I'm sort of like that)
(I mean there are hundreds of easier/more user friendly website makers)(Blogger, webs, the list goes on...)

As for the video, I can make a review, or you guys, might want to make an official YT channel to upload vids about it etc...
I can help if you want by making how to's etc...

And that would be all my suggestions for now, BTW, Asus hasn't given the source code yet?

I can help out with the website, making of photos and generally, any UI for the website or program

Contact crazykiddo about the website, as for the videos I'm working on that. And no, ASUS still didn't give us the sources, but I'm waiting for a response from them about that.

You should have emails check your spam folder.
I have sent out a few to all beta testers.

The site is fine as it is, no need to change anything..we have what we need there..news, downloads, guides etc.
Again the website is for information and NOT to promote the tablet in any way.
So design does not matter and that is why its basic...take a look at slimroms site..basic and works as it should.

Anyways as for the video I think frank is doing some videos this week but your welcome to do any you would like. and we can add to thread/website

No need for YT channel, we only do this for fun. Also why we dont have FB page etc.
No need for that...we stick with XDA and website for now.

 

[crazykiddo]

Updated version of app on its way still some bugs with the MAIN functions..but a lot of new stuff too

 

[crazykiddo]

Beta 3 of app released.
Stop by http://ampc.joops.dk/app/ for more info and download.

Again this is BETA so can/will be bugs....

Very cool! I wish I could root my version for some reason I don't have the latest version of the stock OS and I can't get it.)

 

[crazykiddo]

You can restore dum from someone else.
App still works without root just not all functions.
