ME170c demo mode, no content.

[chrissyboyhat]

Hi all, I have a ME170C (K017) that has entered demo mode but as there is no demo mode content on this model it just stops every few seconds (Demomode has stopped working), never actually entering demo mode proper. For this reason I cannot use the "press the back button for 10 seconds" method to reset my tablet. This is a known problem and Asus have a webpage where you can download the content for every tablet that this effects except for the ME170C!!
My question is this, does anyone KNOW how to reset this tablet when affected by this problem? I can enter recovery mode and load firmware but demo mode just overwrites or hijacks the firmware after reboot.

If you know how to use adb (or terminal emulator) you can use getprop to see if there is anything APD related. There should be at least one system property present affecting this. Then use setprop to set it to 0 / false or whatever opposite to what it is. If you have APD partition, I can send you the files needed. Also if you have root you may just delete the demo app as it cannot stop working if it's not present right?
