I tried to root my me302kl by following the first post described in this thread, but it seems I've bricked my tablet
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601837
I have the LTE version, unlocked the bootloader using the apk from Asus, and followed the fastboot method in the first post, and now I'm stuck at the Asus logo on startup. I'm trying to factory reset by using the update download from the Asus website, but when i try
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash update US_ME302C-V4.7.3-0-ota-user.zip
it fails with this:
writing 'update'...
FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist)
Then I tried following perpe's advice but both methods did not work
Download the update zip for your device and sku from ASUS. Unpack it once, there should be a second zip, try to flash it with
fastboot update name-of-your.zip
if this doesn't wotk, then copy the update zip to an external sd card. Your sd card should be formated in far32. Place the card into the tablets sd card. Press Volume UP + Power to boot it into the bootloader, it should flash it automatically, if not look if yor bootloader has a menu entry "sd download..." select it with the volume keys and power.

When booting into recovery mode, I get the dead android robot icon, regardless of whether the .zip file is on the SD card or not. I've also tried making a system.img file out of the system folder from the extracted zip file and flashing that with fastboot flash system system.img and fastboot flash boot boot.img, but that didn't work either.
Any kind soul have advice on how to make use of the official Asus OTA .zip file, or perhaps be able to supply some .img backups for me to make use of?
EDIT
Found out that to get the recovery menu to show up, you have to hold the power button and press volume up. I thought that the menu would show up automatically so I got confused. ADB sideloaded the Asus OTA .zip and everything is back to normal

download the OTA zip from the asus website
unzip once, you should have another zip
power on the tablet while holding volume up to boot into recovery mode
after the android robot shows up, hold volume up and press the power button to get the recovery menu to show
install the zip using adb sideload
using adb sideload will differ depending on what OS you're using. you can google to find out more specific instructions for that because it's a little more work to get it for windows. for OSX if you have homebrew, you can just 'brew install android' and it will install all the android tools for you.
once you have adb installed, in the terminal type 'adb sideload pathname_of_zip.zip' and it will restore your device to factory settings
I had the same problem and your trick saved me from sending it back. I am not sure if i would have send it back as I have yet to brick something since I am playing with android back in the days of Viewsonic gtablet. We are stuck with 4.2.

You have to download adb or android sdk, or google how to install adb. Once you have installed the adb, hold the power button, and either Volume UP or down to put tablet into bootlfash recovery mode. Once you have it in recovery mode, push volume up or down to get into true recovery mode.
There you would see adb sideload.
Download US or WWW files from Asus website, and unzip the file into ADB directory or whatever path. then type adb sideload name of the file.
Please read the 1st post by OP on this thread twice or three times, and it tells you how to get your tablet back from brink.

Got it. Done! the tablet is running again, but I encounter another issue
I have no permission to write internal sd.
I cant touch internal, some apps that require writing don't work (play store, camera, etc) I cant root, unlock or do anything that require w permissions.
Any way to fix that?
Or I have to wait for a CWM and rom image ?

You can download king's root or something which is a window app, and it does give your tablet root. I am not exactly sure about the name, but would let you know once I have access to my laptop.

This is an english only forum as per forum rules. If you want to use another language you have to provide an english translation as well. You can use tools such as Google Translate to help you with that.

Which howto (guide) you were following? I don't recall seeing one which indicates to install a rom through ROM Manager....
First, download the rom again, but this time on the pc.
If you want pure cm7, then download it from cyanogenmod's repo, the latest nightly works flawlessly (I've used it for almost 6 months) or download one of the custom roms from this site.
Don't forget to get the google apps if you wish to have play store
Ok, which recovery you installed?
If it was cwm, then try to boot to it (turn on the phone, holding down the VOL- key until a text appears below the "unlocked" word. Then, release the vol- key and pu**** several times until the words "Android Recovery" are displayed, then press vol+ to confirm and access recovery. In cwm, go to mounts and storage and select "mount /sdcard" if you have an sd card, otherwise select "mount /emmc" instead. Plug the phone to the pc and, from a command line enter the following command:
if you mounted /sdcard:
adb push <full-path-to-rom's-zip> /sdcard/
if you mounted /emmc:
adb push <full-path-to-rom's-zip> /emmc/
Once it is done transferring, unnplug the phone and in cwm go to mounts and storage and select "umount <the option you selected earlier>" and after that, format /cache, /data and /system.
go back to the main menu and select install zip
here you got two options: Internal storage and sdcard, select the one where you pushed the rom's zip and in the next screen select the zip. Confirm and installation will begin.
Reboot and you should be good to go.

I think I lost root access,now what do I do?
I tried to install new ROM on my Huawei S7-301u, i used CWMR and delete everything i should and started installation of ROM. Suddenly, od 30-40% installation broke. Of course, everything is deleted, and when I press Power&Volume+ i get message "Enter into fastboot mode. You can press POWER key for more than 10 seconds to reboot device." My PC can not recognize tablet when I connect it with USB cable (only in tray i can eject Android).
Can I fix it and how? Can I start CWRM from SD card? Can I install ROM from my PC? Any solution?
Thanks for help.
You certainly can install from your PC! Do as it says and boot into fastboot, then download the firmware of your device. (I can't post links, but a quick search of "Huawei Mediapad S7 Firmware image" should get you what you need)
You'll also need adb and fastboot (another quick search will get you those too).
At that point you should have a device in Fastboot mode and a computer with fastboot installed.
You'll be able to use commands such as "fastboot flash system system.img" to reflash your phone back to normal, from which you can restart your Custom ROM installation.
Again, I can't post links, but googling "How to flash an android .img" may help you greatly.

It happened to me too. Tried many version of mi flash but it says error once hello packet and once not enough memory.
I was not able to boot up. I once again tried it.
Opened PC booted into edl mode. Flashed the ROM by proper settings by mi flash. It again showed error. Not enough memory. But this time I didn't turn my phone off. I straightly ran unlock bootloader.bat file and then flash twrp. Bat file. It worked and my phone rebooted into twrp. I wiped all data except microsd and flashed cm13 official because j need to boot up atleast. And now using it like charm flashing and installing any ROM of my choice
---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------
This for other problem but may help you.
The solution is here:
download the required files from the given link: [50mb]
https://mega.nz/#!1NhDTQoR!cP7vrchwswOfj3oHQ5saZ2d0JkcmunEn5pqyOcpZDoE
INSTRUCTIONS: [redmi note 3]
1. Get into fastboot mode. Charge the phone first. Hold the power button and the volume down button simultaenously.
2. If you can open your current rom, open developer options by clicking on the build no several times in the about phone menu in settings. and select allow oem unlocking and usb debugging.
3. if not leave it... go on and connect your phone to the PC while in fastboot mode.
BUT, before that: open Command prompt on your PC. (search it on the search box). right click on it and open it in administrator mode.
type in: bcdedit /set testsigning on
hit enter and restart your pc
(this is imp.)
4. open the zip file and extract the contents. open the boot edl mode folder and click the edl.bat file. allow it to run.
5. now screen will turn black, do not disturb it. Now flash the twrp by running flash twrp.bat from the 'flash TWRP' folder.
6. Now go to Unlock folder and run the unlock bootloader.bat file.
your phone will boot into the TWRP recovery mode automatically.
if it opens in chineese you select every tab and find the globe icon.
if the globe icon is found on any of the tab select it and change the language to ENGLISH.
wipe your system from the wipe tab:
Now download the latest CM13 SNAPSHOT BUILD ROM FOR YOUR REDMI:
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/kenzo-snapshot.zip
and GAPPS:
http://opengapps.org/?api=6.0&variant=mini
do select the arm 64 version and mini one.
download from your pc and copy it to micro sd card. enter this card into you phone and go to mount in twrp.
mount the micro sd card storage.
select the zip file on the micro sd card from the install tab on twrp and flash it.
now go back and flash open gapps zip file.
now REBOOT to system. everything will work fine....
Yes even I got the same error when flashing fastboot ROM.. tried with older version of miflash... success... then use the batch files provided in the above post... everything will be fine..
One problem though fingerprint isn't working after flashing RR or any other custom ROM..
Good evening XDA Developers Forum,
I am trying to figure out how to install LineageOS 14.1 on a Huawei Honor 5X without getting into too much hassle. (If you are not interested in my chit-chat, I recommend reading only the bold text.)
Why do I need help? I tried to install LineageOS 14.1 right after buying a fresh new Honor 5X following the instructions at the LineageOS-Wiki*, but things didn't went as expected. After 5 days of macgyvering the (suspectedly) bricked phone I managed to get it running again, but not yet with LinageOS. So I wanted to share my experiences to help others having similar problems and I want to avoid too much stress with the next steps. (* I wanted to link to the Wiki, but due to being a new user, I am not allowed to. You may follow the kiwi-Install-Instructions in the LineageOS-Wiki.)
Kind of disclaimer: I've modified my mobile devices a few times in the past years. I rooted and installed CyanogenMod 12.1 and later an XDA-Dev-built Android 7.1.2 on a Nexus 7 3G 2012. I rooted and installed CyanogenMod 12.1 and later 13.0 on a Nexus 5. I stumbled over some problems, but after some trial and error everything worked. Therefore I thought I was a bit experienced and could easily do that stuff with a phone that is listed as "supported"... I didn't ignore mandatory steps of the LineageOS Wiki. I did RTFM and read this forum. I often found questions being close to my problems, but sometimes I didn't understand the answer or often the answers didn't work for me. I hated to see how this forum tried to help new users that didn't reply on questions and how some new users neither followed the instructions nor posted their solution. I promise not to let the thread die before I summarize a solution. As soon as I'm allowed to, I'll link all the files I used to their source, I kept track of them all.
You may skip the history passage if you're not interested in the pre-story or if you don't want to profit of my trial and error experience. So here comes what I did until today:
Update Google USB drivers, already have adb and fastboot installed
Buy a new Huawei Honor 5X
Check its attributes: It's a KIW-L21 with a Huawei version of Android installed, version 5.1.1 and EMUI 3.1. This device is called "kiwi".
Successfully receive unlock code via Huawei
Root the phone via fastboot, until the fastboot & rescue mode screen says "OEM Unlocked, FRP Unlocked"
Flash TWRP 3.1.1.0 (kiwi) to recovery
Push lineage-14.1-20170809-nightly-kiwi-signed.zip to /sdcard on the phone
Wipe cache, system and data
Start install of the above LineageOS .zip file in TWRP
Installation getting aborted with "assert failed: kiwi.verify_trustzone(...) ==1" and ending with an "Error 7"
Learn from the forums that I should have installed "stock MM" first. "MM" seems to be Marshmallow, also known as Android 6.0
Search for images of "stock MM", end with a complete mess of gigabytes of dozens of images, differing by region (Arab/Europe/Americas/etc.), build numbers, firmware stuff, model numbers... oh crap, I don't understand a word
Extract different "stock recoverys" from multiple firmware packages, try to combine them with all kinds of firmwares
Flash stock recovery "recovery_l21_b130.img" to recovery, put SD card with /dload/UPDATE.APP (KIW-L21C432B130CUSTC432D005.dload.modaco.zip) into phone, reboot with Volume-up + power button, start factory reset, end with "data and cache format failed"
Flash stock recovery "recovery_l21_b130.img" to recovery, put SD card with /dload/UPDATE.APP (08_Huawei_KIW-L21_Firmware_C432B130CUSTC432D005_Android 5.1_EMUI 3.1_Finland.zip) into phone, reboot with Volume-up + power button, start factory reset, end with "data and cache format failed"
Flash stock recovery "RECOVERY.img" (from Extracted_L21_B130.zip) to recovery, put SD card with /dload/UPDATE.APP (08_Huawei_KIW-L21_Firmware_C432B130CUSTC432D005_Android 5.1_EMUI 3.1_Finland.zip) into phone, reboot with Volume-up + power button, start factory reset, end with "data and cache format failed"
All of the issues resulted in a boot loop
Wife getting mad because I bricked her new phone and wasted nights for it
Finally find this nice file depot of the Honor 5X in this forum but do not understand all the different headers or the structure of the list
Find out that the used firmware versions may have been too old (although I thought I should have used "stock" and therefore the oldest ones)
Try my luck with flashing L21_B130\RECOVERY.img (from Extracted_L21_B130.zip) to recovery, used "KIW-L21 C432B350 - D003" from the file depot to copy its UPDATE.APP to /dload/ at the external SD card, held both volume buttons and the power button until reboot
The Honor reboots into an autorecovery mode, installing the file from UPDATE.APP automatically and for the first time not cancelling the process
Great success!
I feel myself like I "unbricked" the phone
I am now holding a running Huawei-crippled Android 6.0.1 in my hands
My current situation is a running Huawei Honor 5X with a Huawei-branded Android 6.0.1, EMUI 4.0, build KIW-L21C432B350, custom version CUSTC432D003, fastboot & rescue mode screen saying "PHONE Unlocked". Unfortunately – you may have noticed – that is not LineageOS 14.1, which I actually wanted to install. How do I do that? Should I just follow the wiki instructions? Do I now have a "stock MM installed"? Doesn't it become uninstalled when I wipe system in TWRP before I install LineageOS?
When I try to read information of the phone via "fastboot getvar all", I just get an empty value after "all:". Why is that?
Rather than struggling over anything else when I try to follow the LineageOS wiki install guide again: What should I do or check first? I do not want to get a "kiwi.verify_trustzone" error again. How do I avoid that?
Thanks for your patience in advance!
You're on B350 and it's a good firmware to go (my phone was using it before 'conversion'). Flash twrp via fastboot, clear system/data/caches (backup your and app data first! if you want) and just flash Lineage + gapps (at once, no reboot between). You should be fine.
You are good to go
I have the problem that i cant get MM on it. I am still on b160.
I copied the dload folder for b330 on it and went to updater, menu, local update, update.app and press install
My phone reboots into twrp and nothing happens. I also cant boot into stock recovery. When i press vol up, vol down and power, my phone restarts over and over again. When i release the Buttons it just boots into android.
How do i get b300+ on it?

You can't flash stock images with twrp. You'll have to revert recovery back to stock one (extract image from b160) and then try to update.
ok that was a little bit to fast. do i need to download stock recovery and flash it via adb? because i got TWRP on it this way.

Please do not steal my thread topic. I am trying to complete a tutorial.
you literally had the same problem I have. You had TWRP on it and tried to get stock recovery back to install MM. wouldn't it be part of a tut to explain how you did that? And since you know the answer, cant you tell me?
It worked! I finally got LineageOS working. Thanks to ShadySquirrel and PalakMi for your verification of my installation!
So here is my ultimate tutorial how to install LineageOS 14.1 (= Android 7.1.2) on a brand new Huawei Honor 5X KIW-L21 that comes originally with a Huawei branded Android 5.1.1:
Step 0: Preparation
You have up to date Google USB drivers installed
adb and fastboot are working
You know how to check checksums
You checked your device: It's a KIW-L21 with a Huawei version of Android installed, version 5.1.1 and EMUI 3.1. Your device is called "kiwi".
With your detailed device information, you ordered an unlocking password from Huawei (except your phone is already rooted)
Step 1: Install Stock MM (= Marshmallow = Android 6.0)
Root the phone via fastboot until the fastboot & rescue mode screen says "OEM Unlocked, FRP Unlocked"
You can reach the fastboot & rescue mode screen by plugging your phone via USB to a PC and keep volume-down + power buttons pushed until you see the Honor logo
Download the following images and its checksums and check them to avoid corrupted files:
- Stock recovery image from Extracted_L21_B130.zip: L21_B130\RECOVERY.img
- Stock MM from this nice file depot of the Honor 5X in this forum: KIW-L21 C432B350 - D003
Flash the stock recovery to the phone with fastboot when you are at the fastboot & rescue mode screen: "fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img"
Copy the UPDATE.APP of the above file to /dload/ at an external SD card and put it into the phone
Hold both volume buttons and the power button until reboot
The Honor reboots into an autorecovery mode, installing the file from UPDATE.APP automatically
Wait until it's ready and be happy about your Honor 5X with Stock MM
Check if you are at this status: Huawei Honor 5X with a Huawei-branded Android 6.0.1, EMUI 4.0, build KIW-L21C432B350, custom version CUSTC432D003, fastboot & rescue mode screen saying "PHONE Unlocked"
Step 2: Install LineageOS
Download the following images and its checksums and check them to avoid corrupted files:
- TWRP 3.1.1.0 recovery image for the Honor 5X (kiwi): twrp-3.1.1-0-kiwi.img
- LinageOS 14.1 nightly build for kiwi devices: lineage-14.1-20170816-nightly-kiwi-signed.zip
- Open GApps package for ARM64 / Android 7.1 (in my case I choose "pico" to have the calendar and Google Play): open_gapps-arm64-7.1-pico-20170819.zip
Place the files where you can reach them from your adb/fastboot-console
Connect phone via USB to PC
Keep volume-down + power buttons pressed until phone restarts and shows Honor logo, release buttons; "Fastboot & Rescue Mode" screen should appear
On PC, check with "fastboot devices" if phone is connected and ready to go (should list an ID and the state "fastboot")
Flash recovery with "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-kiwi.img"; should report sending and writing with two "OKAY" messages and a "finished"
Try to start recovery mode by keeping volume-up + power buttons pressed until Honor logo appears, release buttons and wait ~ 20 seconds
In my case, this started the Huawei eRecovery – you don't want that (and it's not part of the LineageOS wiki)
Navigate with the volume buttons to "Reboot" and press the power button; phone should boot normally
Once your old Android is up again, activate USB-debugging
Check if adb is connected to your PC with "adb devices"; you must allow access to the device on your phone when prompted, the device should appear with the serial number and the state "device"
Restart into the recovery mode you really want with "adb reboot recovery" and wait until TWRP boots; allow writing on its first start
Check if adb is connected to your PC with "adb devices"; the device should appear with the serial number and the state "recovery"
Push LineageOS image and Google apps to phone with "adb push lineage-14.1-20170816-nightly-kiwi-signed.zip /sdcard/" and "adb push open_gapps-arm64-7.1-pico-20170819.zip /sdcard/"; both should report transferred size and time
Do not forget to push the md5 checksums if you are paranoid like me
Backup everything to an external SD card from the Backup menu in TWRP (needed 4021 MB of space and took ¼ hour in my case)
Seriously, backup! Even though you haven't done anything with the phone yet. You have a running firmware, that's worth a lot
In TWRP, select "Wipe" and then "Advanced Wipe"
Check "Cache", "Data" and "System" and swipe to wipe
Go "Back" to return to main menu, then select "Install"
As you have backed up to an external SD card, "Select Storage" to "Internal Storage"
Navigate to "/sdcard", select lineage-14.1-20170816-nightly-kiwi-signed.zip and swipe to confirm flash; should not take more than a minute
When it's done, do not reboot but navigate back to "Install" and install Google apps by selecting open_gapps-arm64-7.1-pico-20170819.zip and swiping to flash
Once installation has finished, return to the main menu, select "Reboot", and then "System"; the Honor logo will appear shortly
LineageOS 14.1 is now being initialized
Disconnect phone from PC
Profit!
I'll provide links to the images as soon as this forum allows me to.

you literally had the same problem I have. You had TWRP on it and tried to get stock recovery back to install MM. wouldn't it be part of a tut to explain how you did that? And since you know the answer, cant you tell me?

You are right, sorry, I was being too harsh. I'd like to post the link to the recovery image I've had success with, but I am not allowed to do so. Maybe you'll find it when you look for it and follow the instructions of my last post (Step 1). Does it work?
Et tu said:
It worked! I finally got LineageOS working. Thanks to ShadySquirrel and PalakMi for your verification of my installation!
So here is my ultimate tutorial how to install LineageOS 14.1 (= Android 7.1.2) on a brand new Huawei Honor 5X KIW-L21 that comes originally with a Huawei branded Android 5.1.1:
Step 0: Preparation
You have up to date Google USB drivers installed
adb and fastboot are working
You know how to check checksums
You checked your device: It's a KIW-L21 with a Huawei version of Android installed, version 5.1.1 and EMUI 3.1. Your device is called "kiwi".
With your detailed device information, you ordered an unlocking password from Huawei (except your phone is already rooted)
Step 1: Install Stock MM (= Marshmallow = Android 6.0)
Root the phone via fastboot until the fastboot & rescue mode screen says "OEM Unlocked, FRP Unlocked"
You can reach the fastboot & rescue mode screen by plugging your phone via USB to a PC and keep volume-down + power buttons pushed until you see the Honor logo
Download the following images and its checksums and check them to avoid corrupted files:
- Stock recovery image from Extracted_L21_B130.zip: L21_B130\RECOVERY.img
- Stock MM from this nice file depot of the Honor 5X in this forum: KIW-L21 C432B350 - D003
Flash the stock recovery to the phone with fastboot when you are at the fastboot & rescue mode screen: "fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img"
Copy the UPDATE.APP of the above file to /dload/ at an external SD card and put it into the phone
Hold both volume buttons and the power button until reboot
The Honor reboots into an autorecovery mode, installing the file from UPDATE.APP automatically
Wait until it's ready and be happy about your Honor 5X with Stock MM
Check if you are at this status: Huawei Honor 5X with a Huawei-branded Android 6.0.1, EMUI 4.0, build KIW-L21C432B350, custom version CUSTC432D003, fastboot & rescue mode screen saying "PHONE Unlocked"
Step 2: Install LineageOS
Download the following images and its checksums and check them to avoid corrupted files:
- TWRP 3.1.1.0 recovery image for the Honor 5X (kiwi): twrp-3.1.1-0-kiwi.img
- LinageOS 14.1 nightly build for kiwi devices: lineage-14.1-20170816-nightly-kiwi-signed.zip
- Open GApps package for ARM64 / Android 7.1 (in my case I choose "pico" to have the calendar and Google Play): open_gapps-arm64-7.1-pico-20170819.zip
Place the files where you can reach them from your adb/fastboot-console
Connect phone via USB to PC
Keep volume-down + power buttons pressed until phone restarts and shows Honor logo, release buttons; "Fastboot & Rescue Mode" screen should appear
On PC, check with "fastboot devices" if phone is connected and ready to go (should list an ID and the state "fastboot")
Flash recovery with "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-kiwi.img"; should report sending and writing with two "OKAY" messages and a "finished"
Try to start recovery mode by keeping volume-up + power buttons pressed until Honor logo appears, release buttons and wait ~ 20 seconds
In my case, this started the Huawei eRecovery – you don't want that (and it's not part of the LineageOS wiki)
Navigate with the volume buttons to "Reboot" and press the power button; phone should boot normally
Once your old Android is up again, activate USB-debugging
Check if adb is connected to your PC with "adb devices"; you must allow access to the device on your phone when prompted, the device should appear with the serial number and the state "device"
Restart into the recovery mode you really want with "adb reboot recovery" and wait until TWRP boots; allow writing on its first start
Check if adb is connected to your PC with "adb devices"; the device should appear with the serial number and the state "recovery"
Push LineageOS image and Google apps to phone with "adb push lineage-14.1-20170816-nightly-kiwi-signed.zip /sdcard/" and "adb push open_gapps-arm64-7.1-pico-20170819.zip /sdcard/"; both should report transferred size and time
Do not forget to push the md5 checksums if you are paranoid like me

Hi I want the same kind of tutorial for KIW-L22 also. I tried almost every methods to flash any custom ROM. But all ended up as a failure. WhatI did was, I was in KIW-L22C675B360 version of EMUI. I unlocked the bootloader the official way, flashed twrp as proposed by TWRP site (fastboot flash recovery my-twrp.img). I booted into recovery successfully. I BackedUp all my partitions (Thank god that I did this). Then I wiped my Data, Dalvik-Cache, Cache, System, Android Secure. Then I flashed the latest Lineage OS (lineage-14.1-20170816-nightly-kiwi-signed.zip) and flashed the latest Open Gapps nano. Then I rebooted. There was no problem with the installation. Then the boot animation started loading and I was waiting to see LineageOS. :crying: :crying: But all of a sudden, the boot animation freezes and the phone starts rebooting. This was happening all the time no matter how many times the phone rebooted. I thought it might be a ROM problem and i went back to twrp by holding power up when the phone rebooted. Wipes all as before and flashed certain other ROMs like AospExtended, MIUI 8 (PatchRom), etc but neither of them booted. I don't know what to do after that and I restored my old TWRP backup and now I'm on stock EMUI KIW-L22C675B360. I would be thankful if I get a solution to solve this problem. Waiting eagerly for answers.

The problem is with the B360, you should have been on an update before b360
