I managed to land a root (for the first time) on my Zenpad S earlyer today.
it was the Kingo 1click usb root who landed for me. duno how that happend cuz i was trying to install the one described on the forum here.
anyways lots of **** on my Zenpad so i google factory reset and foun that it does not remove the root. So i did a factory reset to clean up the system. after reset i got some firmware update from asus and on reboot it stuck on Asus loading screen. i foregot to install the SuperSu before i installed to update from asus.
I have tried
Reboot - stuck
Factory reset - stuck
Running the root - over agen - stuck
Clearing the cash - stuck
asus image from official site from micro usb - didnt work
waiting more - dont work
is there any hope for my zenpad s?
Hi,
Yes, I think I had a similiar situation.
You need to download the 1.3Gb zip firmware image from support.asus.com. Put it and why not also updated super su.zip on a 8Gb microsd formated to fat2.
Then download the tools on first the page of
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=61930837
Extract the files to pc. Ensure you have working adb drivers. Reboot zenpad s 8.0 with volume up +power. Connect zenpad to pc and run the launcher.bat from toolkit.
Type ACCEPT, select 5 for cwm and finally T2 method.
Now you should be in temporary cwm. Install the 1.3Gb zip image from sdcard and be patient. It looks like md5 checking forever but finally you will have a restored zenpad.
Before rebooting you might also install supersu but when rebootin do NOT let cwm fix root, just select no.
I think asus is great for providing fw and even source for us. Did not even consider samsung due to their silly knox fuses.
I hope you get back on you pad with this.

Hello,
I have a Allview Speed City tablet, and after i installed root on it, i changed the dpi using an app..
(root thanks to mad_ady, root availible at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40740061#post40740061 )
After this, the tablet is stuck in a boot loop.
I tried to do a factory reset from recovery mode, but this didn't solved the problem.
(the tablet has only 2 buttons, power and home. The recovery can be accessed pressing and holding both buttons until the recovery boot).
I located the file where the dpi is changing, /system/build.prop , and tried to flash another file from Onda 701 ROM (a very similar tablet). I didn't managed to find the original file. Anyway, the flashing didn't succeeded, "instalation aborted" appeared on the screen.
I found on some forum a flashable zip with build.prop from another device, and i replaced the build.prop file with the one from Onda ROM, signed it with a tiny program and still fails.
What options do i have to replace/edit the build.prop file? Before bricking, the ADB was not turned on on the tablet, and i read that i cannot use the SDK (anyway don't know how to use it). I contacted Allview and they don't want to give me the ROM from the tablet. And so, i call anybody that can give me a backed up rom from the tablet, anyone who have the knowledge about AD ROMS and are willing to help me..
Thanks folks!
I installed ADB on my pc and tried to pull the build.system file from /system on tablet, but i get error:closed.. I tried to run this command with tablet in recovery/ apply update from ADB.. Why do i get this error? the device cannot recieve other commands than adb sideload?
Thanks..
this worked for me for full reset

this has been done with the allview speed city
I had a simular problem...
here my solution, hold on and home button at the same time until the screen gets back
wait until you get the boot screen...
use both, 1. erase card and 2. media options...
then to be save I choosed the other option say something like for factory reset.
the I used the apply update from ADB...
the tablet shows the same screen for 5 or 6 minutes
after it booted normaly, but I still had some problems
and I used a needle for a reset...
after that the tablet worked fine
the only thing what I dont understand is why its still root
Thank you for this tutorial, but i solved my problem with warranty. Even so, i erased all cache, factory reset from recovery but still i had no access to system files, and factory reset didn't changed the build.prop (system settings) to defaults.
It's normal. build.prop is part of /system (and the su binary is installed under /system as well), and any changes you make to /system files are permanent until you flash a different firmware.
Hi everyone, I have a problem. I recently got a Huawei y220 and rooted it and enabled USB debugging, tweaked the SystemUI.apk and it all went good, I had no problem rebooting. I also changed my bootscren with BootScreen from the Play Store.
But today, my phone got stucked in bootloop, and i know why, I changed the /system/fonts permissions to 666, and also when I was trying to change the default font (DroidSans.tttf and DroidSansBold.ttf) copied a font file, so in that folder there was some permissions changed and an extra font. I had to to do something so i locked my phone. When I returned a couple of minutes later the phone was like off, so i removed the battery and rebooted it. It got stucked on my bootscreen, and didn't showed me my ADW launcher.
I can't install CWM as there is no file for this model (because it's very new), I can't flash anything as far as I know. Tried downloading the official "upgrade" from Huawei, copied the file, but I can't seem to enter the "Software Upgrade Mode", (VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER KEY), I press those keys for about a minute and nothing happens.
I know my phone isn't fully bricked, for now, so, how can I change those file permissions through my PC or Linux?
I can enter the bootloader screen BTW.
I also tried AromaFM, but i get a signature error.
I've already wiped/factory reset and wiped cache.
Thanks for your time!

I thought the way you update / restore the stock firmware was by the update.app method? The update should be in an archive and once you unpack it should be a folder named : dload with the update.app in it. That whole folder should go on the root of the SD card so it should read /sdcard/dload. Unless it is a different y220...
Otherwise, you're kinda screwed because unless you have adb access when it is bootlooping (rare), there won't be much to do. You won't have adb in recovery either since it is still stock.
I guess it is the normal y220. The problem is that I can't get into the Software Upgrade Mode. Also, my other choice was AromaFM but i don't know how to stop it to verify the signature verification. If i could do that, i could have root acces to the files. Or maybe could install a POSSIBLE backup that i found online...
Well, when i am in recovery the device is detected on windows, but ot mounted...
Thank you
My point was, according to the info that I found, you don't update that one via the Software Update mode, you do it via the method I was talking about with the update.app in the dload folder on the SD card.

My tablet frozen on boot screen (help!)
Hello everyone, I'm new here. I hope this is the correct place to write this problem and you can help me with it.
I bought one year ago a Wolder miTab MINT with Android 4.2. This tablet hasn't got the Play Store, then I decided to root the tablet and install the apk. The problem is that now the Play Store is using to much ram or cache (I don't remember) and because of that the tablet can't goes any further than the boot screen.
The solution will be to reset the tablet like was before but I tried everything without good results. For example:
1.- Use the recovery mode and use wipe data/factory reset. Don't work.
2.- I downloaded the Phoenix Suite and the firmware of this tablet. The software doesn't detect the tablet in normal mode or recovery mode.
3.- I installed the ADB generic drivers. My computer detect the tablet like Galaxy adb tablet or something like that but the Phoenix Suite still the same, it doesn't detect the tablet.
4.- My last option was to try to install the firmware (.img file) with adb sideload. The computer send the file but the tablet shows an error in the verification and it doesn't begin to install it.
Please, any help to reset this tablet to factory settings?? Thanks a lot!!
Fix it
Have you had any solution for this problem?
I decided to root my ME302C tablet to remove some bloatware using an app that required a rooted device. I had the latest firmware so I couldn't use any of the rooting guides online, but I tried Kingo Root, an automatic rooting PC program (all I had to do was enabled USB Debugging), and it worked, at least for one session (after a reboot, it appears to stop working).
After I removed the bloatware, I reset the tablet to its factory state without using the remove root option in Kingo SuperUser (not SuperSU) (I did not know that the option existed). I'm not sure if it would have made a difference if I had used that option, but after resetting, Android booted properly, but I had no lock screen, broken default browser, unresponsive on-screen home button, no notification area, and I lost some options that appeared when powering off (airplane mode and mute). I occasionally get "unfortunately *app* has stopped" errors, but it doesn't appear to affect anything. The tablet works fine otherwise.
I would really appreciate it if someone could direct me on how to restore the default firmware entirely. If I factory-reset, it just removes the apps and resets the settings without affecting the system (clears cache and user partitions), and this website confirms that: search for Isn't Factory Reset exactly the same as wiping /data and /cache? stackexchange. I can't link to it directly. Sorry.
I found a post about an unrelated problem while typing the title where somebody attempted to root using an unofficial firmware update and totally bricked their FHD 10. They ran these commands:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash update "updatename".zip
Suppose that instead of using the unofficial, rooted update.zip he used, I used an official one from this page (it contains links to updates for my tablet's firmware): search for me302c asus. I can't link to it directly. Sorry.
Would that work? I am assuming that a firmware update is a copy of the entire firmware.
If I could use an update, could you please let me know how to flash it exactly? I can boot into recovery mode, Droidboot Provision OS. It has an option to update the firmware, I believe, called "SD DOWNLOAD". If I place an update.zip file named ASUS_BUNDLE.zip on an external SD card and use the option, it'll look like it's updating (there are a few screens, I think they say "clearing cache" and something else, but nothing mentioned of the system partition) - however, it just acts as if it is a factory reset, taking me back to that state where things are borken.
SD Download doesn't look like it is doing something for every random ZIP you put on the SD card, because if I use a ZIP file that has, say, a picture of my cat enclosed, it will not do anything. I think that it does do something with the ASUS_BUNDLE.ZIP, but just not anything that solves my problem.
In Droidboot, if I plug a USB cable into the tablet and the other end into my PC, an icon will appear saying "USB connected". If I enable USB debugging in Android and connect the tablet to my PC in the Droidboot Provision OS recovery mode, should I run the commands then?
I realize that this is a mouthful and thank you for taking the time to read my post.
Did you solve this in the end?
Yes.

I used the method that I posted to fix the tablet.
Someday i rooted my "ASUS MemoPad 7 (Not HD7) [Codename is: K017]" and i downloaded "Rom Manager" and i flashed "CWM Recovery for Motorola Droid" to my tablet.
Tried rebooting but in the rebooting text tablet freezed, i force shutted down tablet and, i powered on tablet. But tablet won't booted and i think: [Wow! Lets reflash system files].
I go to the PC and i investigated all internet but i can't find the solution. Now it cant boot it stuck in "BootAnimation" [System installed and tablet detects system kernel and other critical partitions.]
New supplemental: If try "Wipe Data" with DroidBoot tablet says: "ERROR!". [But i can wipe data with fastboot.]
New supplemental 2: It says "Serial Number:111111111111111111"
I tried:
Reflashing system kernel and other things [I provided firmware zip from ASUS website.]
Flashing temporary generic x86 recovery for any solutions [Vampirefo Venus Tethered Recovery]
