[ROOT] Asus FonePad 7 / K00E / ME372CG More detailed for chinese bring google back - Asus Fonepad 7

I have an ASUS Fonepad 7 ME372CG (Real name is K00E) with CN SKU.
the reason to flash my K00E is that it’s a Chinese (Not HongKong or Taiwan) version.
Chinese GOV is so evil that cut and block all Google staff in all Chinese Android phones. and make it very hard to install Google Back.
I’ve tried all kinds of method to install google apps on my CN K00E and bricked it.
After a few days of search. I’ve found a way to flash this CN K00E (without Google) to WW K00E (With google) and rooted.
========Here is how=========
------Things you will need ------
1. Download ASUS ZIP ROM here
http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=ASUS+Fonepad+7
ASUS Fonepad 7 (ME372CG) Software Image Version: WW_V7.4.1 (Android 5.0) For WW SKU only
THIS ZIP file can’t be flashed when your phone is bricked. This ZIP file is for system update when your system is still alive.
2. Download ASUS RAW ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2709256
Choose the version match your ZIP ROM
THIS RAW file can be flashed when your device is bricked. (except your boot loader should work)
3. Get a MicroSD card with 8GB or more space.
4. Download this Intel Tethered Temp Recovery

5. Setup your PC with ADB and Fastboot
6. Install Intel Android USB Driver into your windows
7. Download the root manager app with can be flashed into your phone later from

———STEPs-----
——Phase 1 Flash your K00E to WW version or you can use this Phase to unbrick your phone or just for upgrade to latest rom----
—— SKIP this if you have a NON-Chinese or Alive Phone-----
ASUS may tell you that you should flash the ROM with same SKU match your device SKU
but you still have a chance to flash a different SKU ROM and it may work!
I’ve tested WW SKU ROM on my CN SKU Device. it worked.
1.Unzip the ZIP rom from ASUS you will get 2 img files in the rom
droidboot.img for fastboot and boot.img for boot
2. connect the usb cable to the phone. switch off the phone.
3. copy the raw ROM file to the root of the MicroSD Card. and insert into the phone.
4. Power UP the phone with vol up pressed Down to enter fastboot/droidboot mode.
5. issue command from PC
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
6. phone will reboot by your last command
7. Choose "SD Download"
8. Wait 15 - 20 Minutes
9. Now you have a NON-Chinese Phone with Google with latest version ASUS could provide just like a normal android phone.
—— Phase 2 ROOT the Phone with Android 5.0 ----
1. Put your root app (zip file) into your root folder of the SDCard or External SDCard.
2..Reboot the phone with Vol UP pressed. and boot into the fastboot mode.
3. Connect PC and Launch the Tethered Temp Recovery you just downloaded before.
4. Type ACCEPT (UP Case), choose 5 (CWM), them choose T2
5. wait about 10 seconds your CMW Recovery should be launched upside down
6. choose update zip from SDCARD and choose the file you just put in.
7. flash it reboot and enjoy.

Will try this, thanks ?

Failed
T2 . launch using oem backup_factory trigger
Result: Unknown OME command
FAILED !!!!:crying::crying:

So I upgraded my Fonepad to Android 5 and lost my root.
After hours of searching how to get it back and getting nowhere fast I found your guide, you're a genius. I only needed phase 2, but it installed SuperSU exactly as you described. Thank you, it's very much appreciated, so much so that I just joined the forum purely to thank you
All the best
Ty

great guide BUT....
I only needed the second part to root my K00E ver7.4.1 using tethered recovery,,,
but after installing superSU and select reboot, CWM says: root lost? Fix now?
I tried both options ( yes ,No) but NO luck
after reboot I only have superSU installed and no root access
any thoughts?
thanks.

I have this version installed UL-K00E-WW-7.6.0.0-user it's the last WW update from Asus for this phone can I still root it as I've tried Kingo Iroot etc and nothing works I need root to move apps to SD card as I've no room.

Just going to dump all the info I've found about this device into this thread. All the threads pertaining to this thread are in Russian and I can't read Russian, so this might be helpful to any English speaking owners of this tablet.
Special thanks to Telegram user @SSDD_1744 (don't know your XDA/Reddit user, I'm sorry) for basically spoonfeeding me all these instructions!
WARNING: If you need to flash to stock for whatever reason, be sure to download a image file specific to your country. If you don't, you'll hard brick your device that can only be fixed QPST (supposedly).
Rooting:
(Tested on 5.0.2)
Install KingRoot. Let it root your device.
Install Super-SU Me, to get rid of the bloatware that comes with KingRoot.
Installing Xposed:
I used Flashify to flash TWRP. Be sure to flash the right version though (2.8.7.7 v2) or else you won't be able to mount cache.
Then download Xposed (version sdk21 ARM) and flash it.
WARNING: Flash v1 of the modded TWRP and you won't be able install any apps after flashing Xposed.
Unbricking:
Still working on it. Downloaded QPST but have not been able to get QPST 2.7 to read the tablet.

To get started, read this post from start to finish and only then proceed to action!
Introduction
This instruction is written based on my own experience obtaining root on their plates, and then on the Xperia M2, bought plemyashki. For instructions attached versions of applications that were relevant at the time, the new version can download the relevant topics on the forum, there will find all information on how to work with the proposed programs and algorithms for their actions (links to topics added).
For all the action with your phone / tablet you are responsible for yourself!
Download all the necessary tools to obtain Root (of instructions / topics on the forum), obespechte for phone / tablet access to the Internet (Wi-F / mobile data) and let the phone settings / tablet installation from unknown sources.
Needed Downloads
KingRoot_V4.5.0B202.apk (6.76 MB)
Me_5.9.apk-SuperSU (9.07 MB)
V2.49 Beta.apk SuperSU (5.63 MB)

Next in series:
1. Install KingRoot .
Get Ruth's right, in the device may reboot.
2. Set SuperSU-Me, .
Run the grantor, the program deletes KingRoot and Chinese KingUser with replacement SuperSu.
Remove the longer SuperSu-Me the desired program.
3. Obnovyaem SuperSu to the latest version. Then set PRO-key .
Installing Pro-key Optionally !!! Use Cases SuperSu without installing key .
4. Open SuperSu and on-demand update binary SU normal way. After a successful update, confirm the request to restart.
5. To make sure that everything is done correctly, check the correct installation and operation of Ruth (mount the system partition on the record), I used the Root Checker Pro and Root Explorer , respectively.

If you want to open the engineering menu, type " * # * # 4636 # * # * "
To boot into fastboot, restart/turn on the device and hold volume up. It'll pop you into a menu with three options.
To boot into recovery, from the fastboot screen (three options), use the volume buttons and navigate to the second option "factory reset" and hit power to confirm. It'll boot into recovery.
=====================================================================================
Recommended way to flash ROMs:
1) Download TWRP. Use adb to boot (NOT flash) into TWRP. Flash ROM there.
2) use KingRoot to root. Use Flashify to flash the ROM.

I see that Lineage OS is supported on Z380KL. However, I found the wiki spec showing Snapdragon 410, but I found Z380KL in Asia with Snapdragon 615. Before I commit, I'd like to know if anyone knows whether LineageOS is fully compatible with Z380KL with Snapdragon 615 chipsets? Thanks.

Flashing TWRP on 6.0.1 (Sept 1, 2016 patch):
1) grab your drivers (W10: boot into "no driver signature verification mode" to install the drivers needed for fastboot)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cGcoDCvmTxfXWNTG0iOXHw1WScmYBrKS
2) turn on debugging
3) type in "adb devices", verify that your computer sees your tablet (if you don't have ADB/Fastboot, get https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790)
4) type in "adb reboot bootloader"
5) you'll see three options: 1. Enter SD DL mode, 2. Factory Reset, 3. Exit update mode
6) type in "fastboot devices", verify that your computer sees your tablet
7) grab your TWRP file (http://vasy.ru/TWRP/P024/) and type in "fastboot flash recovery [replace w/ location of the TWRP file].img"
8) once it says "finished", click factory reset mode (use volume buttons to navigate, power button to enter)
9) it should reboot into TWRP, slide to allow modifications
10) Boom, TWRP is installed.
OPTIONAL, BUT HELPS TO KEEP TWRP INSTALLED: Flash Magisk.
That way, stock recovery won't overwrite TWRP when you reboot.
IF YOU WANT TO KEEP TWRP BUT DON'T WANT Magisk:
1) After first boot into TWRP, turn off tablet.
2) Then turn on and hold Volume Up + Power. That will boot you into Bootloader Mode.
3) Go into factory reset and it should boot you into TWRP.
Now, it's safe to boot into the OS.
(TL;DR: Boot into TWRP twice before booting into the OS or else stock recovery will overwrite TWRP.)
Flashing LineageOS:
1) DL LOS from https://download.lineageos.org/P024
2) DL GApps from http://opengapps.org/ (choose 7.1)
3) boot into TWRP
4) go into Wipe, slide to wipe
5) go to Install, click on LOS file > add to queue, click on Open GApps file > add to queue, flash
6) wait til it's done, click "reboot"
7) wait a while (took mine 3 or so minutes to boot)
8) enjoy!

probably not. I think it's only compatible with the SD 410.

Thanks for the tutorial, I had already dared to flash twrp recovery before you wrote this tutorial...
I believe my bootloader is still locked. And I could not reproduce/ write exactly what I did. But, in my case, just for information, when I want to go back into twrp, I can boot into bootloader (power volume up) and then option 2 reset the device gives me the twrp... I am not sure if that is how you get it, but for me, I still had twrp.
I think i will install magisk after reading your post.

I don't think unlocking the BL is necessary for flashing LOS. But yes, that's how I get into TWRP as well.
Hello I'm new in the forum and I write from Italy, yesterday unfortunately I had the brilliant idea to downgrade my Asus z380kl through ADB, Fastboot and TWRP from pc so far so good, I go to flash the new rom and gives me error, I try to restore the backup here too error result? Tablet locked the only way to make it recognize to the PC is with ASUS FLASH TOOL ROM problem in format.raw unobtainable not even on the Russian site. Any good soul has the possibility to let me download it? Thanks, Sorry English but it is a translation of the very useful Google translate.

Can you still access fastboot, then at least you can flash twrp as described before in this thread and install from twrp lineageos p024 (lineage-14.1-20180105-nightly-P024-signed.zip) and Open gapps to get google playstore etc , select Arm, (not 64) then version 7.1, then Pico would work.
If you have twrp, you at least can still use your asus... I have found no way to flash original stock... stock must not be flashed from twrp.
Since you mention twrp already used, you can try: turn your device off, then press volume up then the bootloader menu comes, select 2: reset to enter twrp(where it says reset. if you had flashed twrp, that is how you can get into twrp) from there, install lineage os and gapps from micro sd card
My rom is MMB29M.WW_P024-V5.9.4-20170613

I assume this is on stock rom ? What version of magisk would work? I found I can be back at stock with my twrp backup so ..
But magisk 15.3 zip failed to install on stock-

Would you know what magisk works on lineageos?

Yes it was. I flashed 15.2 on both stock and LOS. I've heard of some issues with 15.x so you can try .2 or 14.x.

Hello I'm new in the forum and I write from Italy, yesterday unfortunately I had the brilliant idea to downgrade my Asus z380kl through ADB, Fastboot and TWRP from pc so far so good, I go to flash the new rom and gives me error, I try to restore the backup here too error result? Tablet locked the only way to make it recognize to the PC is with ASUS FLASH TOOL ROM problem in format.raw unobtainable not even on the Russian site. Any good soul has the possibility to let me download it? Thanks, Sorry English but it is a translation of the very useful Google translate.

What error was given? What do you see when you connect it to a computer? What does "tablet locked" mean? Would help if you gave some pictures too.
I'm currently in the process of getting the RAW files/service ROMs for AFT but I don't have an ETA on when I'll be able to get that.
No on the tablet I have not installed TWRP and no other recovery.When I go into the original recovery of the tablet there is always the screen with the lock closed at the bottom right and there is no way to show it to the PC even with adb sideload, l 'only program that recognizes me the tablet is Asus flash tool, however, as I have already written the damn ROM in RAW format is untraceable.

[HELP] Can't flash Stock 7.0Nougat via Stock Recovery...

I got a ZF3 Deluxe from Italy, is TIM branded, and stuck on MM 6.0, no updated released for this brand, so a friend of mine told me there is of course android 7 for ZF3Deluxe, so i wanted to manually upgrade system to 7.0 Nougat, i downloaded the Stock ROM from asus (2.15ghz cpu, i've checked of course) but when i try to flash it from the Stock Recovery i get this error (see the attachment) i also attach the software informations, (looking at the error i receive it may see the archive is corrupted, but i've tried to download it from Asus many and many times)
You have a carrier rom on your phone and the international version fails the upgrade check.
If you could get your bootloader unlocked that would be a way around it but you need to upgrade to a certain rom version to do that and the carrier hasn't supplied that rom...
You're essentially screwed until the carrier either releases the bootloader unlockable rom or upgrades the rom to nougat...

You should try to flash stock recovery of WW in fastboot.
And then flash 6.0 WW rom by WW recovery.
Even though ,I didn't sure that if it will work(because I don't have Z016S),but you can try it.

I forgot to say, after this procedure, just flash the stock WW recovery via Fastboot, then download from asus the lastest 7.0 firmware SKU WW, all perfect. tested by me.
Ok I already have system.new.img, I copied it to the root folder of the SD. Device restart in Fastboot mode (power + vol.up key). Exit screen with message Fastboot mode and does nothing.
Install in the computer the pyton 3.6, I suppose that it serves for the process of generating system.new.img.
I do not know how to do the first step "Install: ADB & Minimal Fastboot.".
Thank you and forgive my translator

Tow solution you can try
1.install the rom of 4.12.40.1698 again(some of tile,such as xbl,devcfg,devcfgbak..... may be still TIM versio.install it in recovery may turn it into WW version)
2.If fail, try flash these files in fastboot.(I will upload these files for you to flash,also you can draw by yourself)
Ok already worked, the solution is to unlock as you put in # 11.
Thank you

Ignore the Anti-Rollback system for Redmi Note 5

Ignore the Anti-Rollback system for Redmi Note 5
All actions you take at your own risk and risk. The project management is not responsible for the consequences of its actions.
From the MIUI 10 developers have introduced for Xiaomi redmi Note 5 special system of "anti-rollback» (Anti-rollback), which blocks the possibility of installing the previous version of MIUI, in addition, can affect the installation of custom firmware When you try to roll back or install the custom firmware, you can get a "brick", so if you are the owner of the device, be careful to follow the steps below:
preparation:
Download the current firmware MIUI 10 Fastboot for redmi Note 5 from the official site: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html (? redmi Note 5 Latest global developer Fastboot version download file)
Download the My Flash program: http://portal.mi-room.ru/files/mi-flash/ and unzip it in C: /
Download the file for the installation of TWRP Recovery: adb.zip: http://files.mi-room.ru/files/pc/antirb/adb.zip
Download the latest MIUI MIRUM firmware from our site
On the C: / computer drive create a "Whyred" folder and extract the downloaded firmware «whyred_global_images_X.XX», as well as a file for adb.zip rekaveri installation
Installation:
We transfer the phone to Fastboot mode: to do so, turn it off and hold down the volume key and the power key until the corresponding mode appears.
Connect the phone to the computer
Start the My Flash program, click on select and select the folder with the unpacked firmware "whyred_global_images_X.XX".
In the lower right corner, select Clear all; otherwise, the boot loader will be blocked again.
Press update, the list should show the device
Press flash to start the firmware and wait for it to complete
After the firmware, the phone will start in the system.
Once the system has been fully started, turn off the phone again and press and hold the volume down button and the power button to enter the quick start mode. (the phone must be connected to the computer)
In the folder C: / whyred / adb / start the file start.bat
The installation process of the stub (dummy.img - to bypass the anti-rollback system) and the recovery TWRP (recovery.img) will start
After that, the phone will reboot in TWRP Recovery
We make a total destroy them partition data, the vendor, the system. We also recommend that you run the data format. (If an error occurs during deletion or formatting, simply restart TWRP Recovery and try again).
We remove the firmware previously downloaded from MIUI MiRum to the phone memory through MTP and install it through TWRP Recovery.
Fact! You can install more firmware securely through TWRP Recovery, as usual, the main thing is that the version is not inferior to the installed version.

[GUIDE][ZD551KL] Zenfone Selfie bootloop, brick, firmware upgrade errors fix etc.

I had to fix a couple of bricked selfie phones (z00ud and z00udb but i assume this works on any selfie zd551kl model), that were probably bricked by autoflashing wrong firmware, so after spending a few days going thru many different tutorials, this is my tested method on how to fix them (or if you wanna get a cheap phone from taobao and turn it into a decent one), obviously it wasn't extensively tested, so take it as is . Some steps MIGHT be unnecessary but i didn't want to skip them as i was just glad i found a way how to get the phones to completely stable, latest firmware from useless paperweight.
A. if fone doesnt accept any firmware,or bricked,bootlooped etc. flash basic CN firmware, regardless is recovery WW or CN
- Instructions:
1. go to phone recovery (PWR button + VolDwn, release PWR on logo)
2. on phone select adb bootloader, it switches to fastboot mode (or hold PWR button + VolUp, release PWR on logo)
3. on PC unzip archive and start the autoflash .bat file
4. start the phone
files: archive (Asus Zenfone Selfie Z00UDB ZD551KL 3+16 here )
B. upgrade CN/WW firmare to latest version
- Instructions:
1. on PC install adb drivers
2. go to phone recovery (PWR button + VolDwn, release PWR on logo)
3. on phone select adb sideload
4. on PC, copy firmwares into adb folder
5. on PC go to adb folder and start cmd in that folder (shift+Rclk)
6. type adb devices to check connection, then adb sideload firmwarename.zip
7. start the phone
8. repeat all steps until latest CN/WW firmware is installed
files: adb drivers adb-setup-1.4.3 here , firmwares here(UL-Z00T-CN-1.13.40.661-user,UL-Z00T-CN-1.14.40.695-user,UL-Z00T-CN-1.15.40.1548-user)
C.swap CN firmware for WW, upgrade to Android 6
- Instructions: (also someone elses crappy YT video instructions here )
1. on PC install vc x86 and x64 redist packages for 2010,2012,2013 to prevent .ddl missing errors when running flashtool
1. on PC install asus flash tool
3. on fone turn on usb debugging in developer settings (click on about>sw info>build number)
4. turn off fone then start it in fastboot mode (hold PWR button + VolUp, release PWR on logo)
5. connect the fone to PC, start the autoflash .bat file from the firmware folder (CSC_ZD550KL_1_2_0_70_fac_eng_20150905_secure)
6. disconnect usb, wait for fone to reboot, then disconnect the battery on boot logo (remove back cover in advance)
7. return the battery, and start the fone again in fastboot mode, check for extra info on screen
8. on PC start the flashtool, connect the fone in fastboot mode, check if connected, select the model (ZD551KL), select wipe data
9. on PC, browse to firmware (WW_ZD551KL_1.15.40.1582-bsp-user-20160510203701-secured-release) in flashtool, click start, chose Yes for both options (wipe and image promt), wait until flashing is over
10. disconnect and start the fone
11. connect the fone to PC, copy the firmware (UL-Z00T-WW-21.40.0.1692-user) to internal memory or SD card and wait for the fone to recognize the package and auto-update to Android 6
12. connect the fone to PC, copy any newer firmware to internal memory or SD card (no need to copy next iteration or 2156 build, you can go to for ex. 2214 build right away) wait for the fone to recognize the package and auto-update to newer build of Android 6
files: vc redist packages here , firmwares (WW_ZD551KL_1.15.40.1582-bsp-user-20160510203701-secured-release here,CSC_ZD550KL_1_2_0_70_fac_eng_20150905_secure here), Android 6 firmwares here

Depending on your issues, you should pick the step you need, in case nothing works on your phone start with step A, otherwise start with the step that is appropriate for your problem.

Convert Docomo dtab d-02h into Global version 802L

I do not own any of the original work. I just tried it, it worked and Reposted in XDA as there was no such guide here. I know it is an old device but there are still some legends and those people can take advantage of this guide.
It only takes time to do it properly, so you can download necessary files and so on.
Start TWRP
Connect to PC by USB debugging and execute adb reboot recovery command, or press and hold the volume button and power button at the same time (about 8 seconds) from the power off state to start.
Select Wipe ⇒ Format Data from the menu and select yes. . .
* If you do not delete the data once, the upgrade package distributed for Mediapad M2 to be introduced may cause an installation error.
File download
The DL and folder name of the required files are " M2 ". (Zip and harden)
Decompress after DL and move the files inside to "platform-tools".
BOOT.img
CUST.img
SYSTEM.img
RECOVERY.img
There are four files mentioned above.
Install M2-android5.1.X. . .
* If you do not do this, you will not be able to upgrade to a later version.
* Please keep your PC and tablet ADB after this.
adb devices
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash cust CUST.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
Finally, make the recovery the original M2 one
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot reboot
After reboot, it will be changed to Huawei M2-android5.1.X including recovery.
Download "M2-802LC229B207CUSTC229D006" from " [ROM] [STOCK] [Android 6.0] [M2-802L] B207-Android 6.0 Marshmallow with EMUI 4.0 " of Android 6.0 Marshmallow with EMUI 4.0
XDA . Move the downloaded file to the platform-tools folder without decompressing it and execute the following command. * Please create a "dload" folder in the tablet in advance, otherwise an installation error will occur when the command is executed.
adb push update.zip /sdcard/dload
After transfer, open Settings ⇒ System Update and select “Update Locally” from the menu. After selecting update.zip, tap Install to start the update.
With the above, it is changed to Huawei M2-android6.0.X / EMUI 4.0.X. . . Remember to reboot after installation! ! !
