Also as i know, there is a person who has service firmwares. As he explained, when flashing service lollipop firmware, it somehow unlocks bootloader(i can be mistaken at this part), and makes it possible to install any android firmware.

Of course, the asus and intel engineers will know the trick. The pad wasn't born from nowhere. :laugh:

Would be great if the person will share it for free. :victory:

Beside the changed bootloader & recovery i believe it is not possible because of the changed partition assignment on LP5.0.1. KK isnt compatible with that anymore i guess and as far as i can see the partition assignment is not renewed and rewritten within any of the prelollipop firmwares again.

Yeah, I agree your insights and guesses. AFAIK layouts of partitions has been not changed though some part of *.img name changed from KK to LP accroding to looking into ROM zip. My wild guess is that asus tainted bootloader or fastboot server prevents downgrading on reflash...[emoji26]

On one russian forum there is already a person who was able to downgrade to 4.4. Although, he flashed something from "CL" version, instead of "C" so the tablet was unusable, thats why he brought it to Asus service, they did a normal downgrade for him, but it took almost a month.

Okay here we go, http://mdforum.ru/showthread.php?t=28391 Since I'm not familiar with Russian, translate with Google Translate into English.

I'm also trying AsusFlashTool shown in this thread http://mdforum.ru/showthread.php?t=28100. Though my device ME572C/CL is not listed here but ME815 is listed and perhaps has good resemblances there. This should be useful if I got/made RAM images.

Hope we'll have progress...

Yes, but Google translation shows CL edition does exist in some network called "SP"... but I can't get what "SP network" meant...[emoji22]
