[Q] ME170cx K01A root ?

[[email protected]]

Salutations oh learned ones..

I bought a ME170CX - a1 - bk /K01A for my kids, and I just would like to know if there is confirmed ( safe and simple ) root method for this model. I have come across instructions ( rootzenfone) for other MEMOpad models but nothing concrete for this specific one. Infact the rootzenfone site states:
"Does not support models:

Fonepad 7 FE170CG (K012)
MeMO Pad 7 ME170C (K017)
MeMO Pad 7 ME70C (K01A)"

Thanks in advance...

if necessary, admins please merge this with the appropriate thread.

I'll be following this post myself. In same situation, kids gift etc.
There's a reply within this post (see link below) which states they were able to obtain root (near bottom of page). I haven't tried it yet myself.

I was able to achieve root using the Root Zenphone tool on my MeMo pad me170cx. Just follow the instructions in the app to the T. After you count to ten, power off and wait 5 seconds and power back up and BAM.... you have root with supersu installed.

Thanks, so basically grab file from here http://www.asuszenfoneblog.com/2014/09/download-rootzenfone-146r.html

then run root.


Btw i'm on android ver 4.3

just to confirm i cant unroot and i cant update Os after root

 

[Chief_Nodnarb]

Yeah that's what I used. I myself updated to 4.4.2 then rooted. Make sure you turn off Wi-Fi (forget network then turn WiFi off). After you hit the root button you will get a prompt that demo mode has been activated, just ignore this. Count to 10 as soon as you hit the button and power down. Wait 5 seconds and power back on.

I used RootZenFone1.4.6.4r.apk. If you can, find and use that one.

k, nice you are on 4.4.2

no chance of this tablet getting lollipop right ?

 

[Chief_Nodnarb]

I don't want to say no, but then again, I'm definitely not going to say yes. Honestly I don't think so, but we'll have to wait and see. I'd rather have a custom rom myself, but that's just me.

@[email protected] just wondering, what was the price on you MeMoPad? I got mine earlier today at Gamestop for $70. Awesome deal for such a good tablet.

I just wanted to ask since I can't find much discussion elsewhere on this, are there any ROMs out there for this Tablet? I honestly hate the bloatware installed on this Tablet, I just want something light on battery and fast for my simple tasks. I got this tablet for a nice price and would be a shame if there is not much available...

 

[Chief_Nodnarb]

Unfortunately, there aren't any roms as of yet. I actually returned mine today and picked up a Nextbook 8. I'm in the same boat with this tablet. Gonna return this one also. Nexus 7 it is....again.

just upped to 4.4.2 , prolly root tomorrow 2015

 

[wellforthebird]

I followed the instructions exactly.after I restarted it went to a second Asus loading screen It set there for like over an hour. Every time I reset it, it did the same thing. I eventually just did a hard reset. Now when I boot it says asus live demo has stopped working a whole bunch of times and everything is running like ****. I have rooted plenty of devices before and never had trouble. Is there any way I can actually restore back to normal or get the root to work. Please help. I am kinda freaking out.

That is a bummer... I just rooted this tablet and started to unistall the bloatware, I will share my results on whether that improves performance.

I actually got this tablet for $39.99 (I used an old coupon code I received), I feel like it may not be worth the hassle to return, since the Nextbook is $99.99.

Fingers are crossed deleting the crapware improves performance drastically, and possibly battery life! It's a neat tablet and can be an awesome tool for my use.

To remove the offline demo in the notification in ME70C

1. You must be online !!!
2. Enable developer mode in tab.
3. Follow the steps mentioned in "Demo On/Off Instructions". Once you go thought all the step mentioned .Tab will start playing the demo. (Note: it will take to update around 4-5mins, you check in notification bar)
4. Now need to deactivate the demo mode.
5. When the demo video is playing on screen hold Back Key for more than 10 seconds, until is shows a page.
6. The password is 741603.
7. The tab will automatically reboot and wipe all user data and deactivate demo mode.
8. Wait until factory reset completes. Once everything is finished tab will boot up with welcome screen
In this process the tab will be factory reset. So backup your data first!

I never received and email for registration reply. I only just saw it because I got an email for the reply below. It is the middle of the night right now, I just woke up for a drink of water. I will compare the 2 methods and here and give it a try later today. Thank you so much! I had kinda given up on fixing it. This makes me extremely happy. Will report back.
