As that subject mentions, I was wondering if someone could please provide me with a step by step guide on how to completely re-soft my Asus Memo Pad 7 ME176CX. I'd like to reinstall Lollipop from scratch because after I rooted it long time ago and also messed with some stuff/took out apps,etc. , now I can't install any updates. So I'd like everything to be back to the way it was before messing up stuff/rooting. I'd appreciate the help :D

I would assume you need to unroot the device first. Most root programs will have a removal tool as well. After that, you should be able to go into settings - backup and reset and then reset from there, provided you did not install a custom Rom.

If you are already in lollipop, i sugest downloading on asus me176c support website version WW .36, after that extract and go to meta-inf and look for updater script and remove 1st line and repack everything. After that if you dont have it already look for Intel Temporary Recovery Session, download and open it on your desktop (make sure you have adb drivers and adb debug on), write ACCEPT and then write 2 and then T4, it should make you boot to TWRP (this is a temporary recovery), and flash WW .36 with modified updater script. And now something i tought you should now is that you can now install a permanent recovery, ill leave all links for TWRP permanent, temp recovery, and me176c support website.
If i helped you please press the thanks button :good:

Hi

Just to make sure what line(s) to delete from the update script, since some posts mention 1 and som mentioin 2 lines. Is it the line below marked in red that has to be removed?

Line1: getprop("ro.product.device") == "K013" || abort("This package is for "K013" devices; this is a "" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "".");
Line2: show_progress(0.750000, 0);
