Asus Memo Pad HD7 - Threads? Root? Roms?

[HoR77]

Hi there,
just ordered my Asus Memo Pad HD7 and I didnt find a single Thread about it, am I just blind or are there none?

I am looking for Custom Roms etc, guess it's just a little early for that, but maybe just rooting works?

Is there a Thread or sub forum for the Memo Pad HD7 ?

Hi Shoxxy,

I try again and again to resinstall the drivers but, it-s still not work.
In device manager the device is not recognized as "Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Port" But as "MediaTek DA USB VCOM Port"
Tab is doesn't working anymore, i can't switch on and don't do the last part of installing drivers.

I have had the same issue in the past. You have two options either remove the battery or leave it to discharge for 1-2 days then it will be recognised it the correct way - MediaTek PreLoader USB VCOM

Hello,

thank you very much minimonkey7

I remove battery and it work

Edit : How can i get back old datas witch are in stock recovery backup in format "userdata_20150218_224650.backup" ?
Carliv don't recognize it. Is there a way to do it ?

thanks

Stock recovery make no working backups

I think there must be a way to unpack the .backup file

Just to let you know , in german forum android-hilfe.de is an philz touch (full working) compiled from source by me. Maybe its usefull

Edit: about .backup . yes you are right but stock recovery only backup userdata , and not the whole system. But i think you know that

Mediatek USB port - hard brick

Insert a plastic card between the housing and the back cover, and gently lead her to spend, not to damage the latch.
You will then see the battery connector.
View attachment 2496157
Disconnect connector (up)!
Wait 2-3 minutes.
Connect ago.

PDox68 can you please help me on this. I tried every suggestion on net regarding this issue. I tried to unbrick the Pad with the method of writing on EMMC memory but im getting error in the flash tool. That is because in Device manager the pad is recognized as "Mediatek USB port (Number of port)" not as Preloader or DA VCOM. I tried your suggestion to remove battery for 2 minutes but that thing works if the pad is recognized as Mediatek DA not in my case as Mediatek USB port. No matter how many times i remove the battery and plug again the connector the Pad is in same state. Its not recognized without batetry, when i plug the battery is recognized only as Mediatek USB port. So in this state i cannot flash it or proceed with the Unbrick method, im stuck at the first point (write - EMMC). Can you please help me what should I do here. I did not mention the Pad is dead no charging no power nothing works.

HELP

It seems you don't have a custom recovery. You can try flash the firmware again, but all the instructions were in a thread by superdragonpt that was closed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2503668). You can try search here for a suitable solution starting here: http://www.modaco.com/topic/371237-romsrecoveries-list-of-roms-for-asus-memo-hd-7/. There are a russion forum and a archive of the closed thread and the files needed, I think.
Good luck.

Android 4.4 on Memo Pad HD7??

Hi, I have a Memo Pad Hd 7 and I am looking for installing kitkat on it. Is it possible? and is it stable? My goal is to do mirroring with chromecast. Is there any other way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

There is no kitkat for memo...because no source.What is the case with Chromecast?

No Kitkat
Not even kernel sourcecode for the Asus Releases (JB 4.2.2)

The sources they provided on their official site, are general sources, and not specific for this device.

--> Kernel sourcecode is the first step to build an higher OS build.
--> I have an semi-working kernel (for JB) but its far from complete, there's a lot of missing stuff...

You could spam Asus support to release the proper kernel sourcecode (i did this already), maybe if several people request it, we can get it!

With that, i could build an higher kernel (3.4.67 for KitKAt) and compile KK for the device

Cheers

Spamming ASUS about it won't do anything.
The device uses a Mediatek chipset, and the ultimate desicion to open up the needed kernel sources for the chipset lies with Mediatek.
ASUS have signed a NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) with Mediatek in order to be "allowed" to use Mediatek chips in their devices. In other words ASUS are not allowed to release anything under any circumstances. Even if it means breaking GPL or other open source license forms. ASUS hands are tied and they cannot do anything about it even if they want to.

As if that isn't enough bad news, even worse are that Mediatek are one of the worst companies to deal with wqhen it comes to releasing source code. They simply refuse. Mediatek are one black sheep in the open source community. They use open open source code in their products, but refuses to recognise the licenses.
I've said it before, and I say it again: Stay away from Mediatek-based devices. They may be cheap, but they will not be updated at all. That is how Mediatek wants it. They want to force their costumers to throw away their "old" devices to buy new ones despite that the device is perfectly capable and in working order. That way Mediatek can sell more chipsets, as costumers are forced to buy new devices a few times per year.

Closing down the source code, and force manufacturers to sing NDAs = Controlling the market.

Once again: Stay away from Mediatek no matter how cheap their devices may be.

What files are exactly missing? The vendor/config files are there and the source is without binary blobs and builds. Sorry for asking again.

--> I have an semi-working kernel (for JB) but its far from complete, there's a lot of missing stuff...

Did you successfully boot a self-compiled kernel? Could you please share your .config file and possible changes you made to the sources? And maybe the boot.img to test on other devices (WW version etc).

So far I couln't boot self-compiled kernels, but loading modules does work (except the video driver, which seems to expect a wrong firmware version).

GG mediatek, kitkat started being the minium requirement for games. (Just like the old gingerbread days when ICS was released, RIP HD7 ;-

Hi my ME173X is bricked. What is weird is that when I plug to the PC it is recognised as cloverfield plus device. Isn't it supposed to be a Mediatek device?

Try uninstalling usb drivers.And then force install mediatek driver.

 

[MemoDude]

Hello guys, i have an bricked memo pad h7, it was on an bootloop so i've tried flashing it, that's whats caused the brick.
So now i'm trying to flash it again to stock but my computer doesn't recognize it anymore and flashtool does nothing when i plug it in, i just get the ''windows doesn't recognize usb device'' message, i installed the VCOMM Drivers of course.
Any idea?
