Update Android on Asus MemoPad 8 K011 tablet device - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I own an Asus MemoPad 8 K011 (intel) tablet. The device runs Android 4.4.2 and won't be updated further.
I'd like to root the device and update at least to Android 5, if feasible, at the very least to fix the Bluetooth issues plaguing v. 4.
I've never managed to find a working root utility for this device, neither have I found appropriate custom roms. Although relatively savvy in the PC world, I'm not that knowledgeable with Android - hence asking for your help.
Thank you!

Respectful bump as Asus have now published the kernel for this device.

[Q][Intel Z2580] Ramos i8 & Ramos i9 - Custom Roms

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone with a Ramos i8/i9 has experimented with other custom roms and/or are aware of any stable roms that worked well with this Intel driven device ?
Thank you !
I have bought the Ramos i8 tablet (Have not received it yet though) and I am interested in testing custom roms as well. It has similar hardware with the Ramos i9 for which there are some custom roms around already (I think) so I suppose it could be ported from there (?)
There is an androidx86 project that has already released a 4.4 KitKat android for x86 devices (netbooks etc.) Could something like that be used in Ramos i8, i9 or similar Intel processor devices somehow? I suppose the install process is the hardest part...
Here is the link to the project:
http://www.android-x86.org/releases/releasenote-4-4-rc1
FYI I already asked in their group and there is a problem with the drivers of the PowerVR GPU. They are proprietary so it is not supported by androidx86.
Since there is no forum subsection for the i9 I could not post but I have some custom stuff running on my i9. I was asking the Slatedroid community if they wanted a release (which I could work on polishing) however not if only a few people will use it and help it keep going.

Hi Seven I'm quite keen on experimenting and would love to give ur concoction a try and I'm sure panpapad would too...
and what better place to share it than on XDA as it might draw other devs to help contributed.
Thanks heaps if you do share it on here...! :victory:
im very interested
Hey seven2099. I'm very interested in a custom rom. Was trying to post on the slatedroid forum but have to wait for the damn approval before I can post. So soon ill be n there with you. I was also wondering if anyone as found a custom recovery which works on the i9.
Hey guys! Sure I'd like to experiment with custom roms but I got the Ramos i8 not i9 tablet. It has very similar specs but still its a different tablet. So if anyone wants to work on i8 I can test .
Ramos i9 post-root issue
Hi guys,
Total newbie here.
Can anyone provide assistance on a root gone wrong?
Long story short: bought Ramos i9, rooted it in order to remove all the Chinese apps, and now no sound is coming through the speakers (only headphones).
Have tried rebooting, factory reset, and a second root. No luck.
Adb I used is adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321. I tried Nexus 4 drivers after the second root, still nothing.
Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated!
Cheers,

Ramos i9 firmware-Update goes wrong
Hi, I have a problem with my Ramos i9.
I have loaded and run the latest firmware from the ramos.com.cn website. After I start the Update-Process the screen goes black and the device will not boot again. I think I install the wrong firmware for a Ramos i9 with GPS. Can somebody help me to reinstall the firmware by using a Windows-PC. Thanks!
Firmware Ramos i9
Hi seven2099;
Can you help me? I have a problem with my Ramos i9.
I have loaded and run the latest firmware from the ramos.com.cn website. After I start the Update-Process the screen goes black and the device will not boot again. I think I install the wrong firmware for a Ramos i9 with GPS.

Hi Seven2099,
This tab is rebranded and sold as digiflip xt901 in India. Please share some of your ideas on firmware mods for this.
Thanks

Hi everybody I have Ramos i8 branded as polypad i8 in Turkey.
I research whether there is another ramos i8 that is branded diffrently in an another country.
I have found one in india.
called Digiflip Pro XT 801 Tablet and with sim card Digiflip Pro XT811 Tablet.
XT 801 and XT 811 are the same configuration except 3G.
There are some who achieved to update XT811 to kitkat(4.4) but what about XT801(i8) ?
Here is link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/kitkat-firmware-update-procedure-t2984011?nocache=1
Is it worth to try? What do you think.
Edit:
Not working becuse has different Rom.
Not try.
---
No you cant......the firmware of xt801 is different from xt811......this may brick your device

XT801 AND XT811 ARE BELOW:

The Dell Venue 3830 tablet (8 and 7 inch-3730) is to my knowledge the only z2580 based android tablet that has an official kitkat release.
Since there are so many different z2580 devices out there without updates newer than 4.2.2 it would be a great project for many people (including me) to see if that Dell rom can be ported and optimized for other z2580 devices.
My major issue is ram on my 1GB z2580 tablet (only ~200mb free after clean reboot). A kitkat update would in many ways solve that issue and make the tablet a solid useable device. (No my kernel does not support swap.) The cpu is quite fast and a shame to waste.
Edit: Asus Zenfone 5 and 6 are both Intel z2580 devices with official kitkat updates, (and cyanogenmod seems to be supported, surprisingly). Their roms could be useful for the z2580 community. Possibly moreso than the Dell Venue since reports show the kitkat firmware to have some stability issues for some people.

Good news.
When i ask ramos firm, they said that they will issue new rom as soon as intel issue a rom apropriote for x86.
They blamed intel for not issuing new rom app to x86.
For more ram you should use greenify. It makes the ram free up to 460 mb.
And not to mention nova launcher with dcikonz theme.

Which ROM for hdx7

Hi there!
i am new to the kindle tablets and on looking into this branch of xda
i am confused as i dont know which ROM i can use.
to make it short: i want a stock Android on my hdx7.
thanks und cheers
el loco
As far as i know there os only one Rom available here, called hdx nexus. Should be stock Android. I actually cant flash it for testing, because i have a wrong software version installed. If someone knows how to downgrade from 13.3.2.5 to 13.3.2.4 please post a link/tutorial or something like that.
I'm in the same situation as Arthuro88. My HDX 7 is running Fire OS 4.5.1 and I can't use the root technique I found (or towelroot). Has anyone found a way to root this version yet?
I got one of the last, apparently old, HDX's in the store. Luckily for me it had the older firmware on it and I knew better than to register it with Amazon right out of the box. I rooted the device, installed Safestrap, and then realized that Nexus 2.0.1 required a new rev of the firmware. So I upgraded *manually* to the mid-release firmware (the newest older version that was still rootable), hit it with Towel to root it, and flashed it to Nexus 2.0.1. All in all it is a VERY nice ROM. It works extremely well, and has only crashed on me once. My problem with it is that it doesn't support the 4G/LTE radio in my version of the HDX. To be clear: the WiFi works fine, but not the cellular carrier signal I'm getting charged for monthly.
So again- go with Nexus 2.0.1.
As for me, my original plan was to get Kali Linux running on my HDX. I'm shelving that for now and trying to port Firefox OS (Mozilla's Linux-based OS for phones and tablets) to the HDX. None of the "Big Brother" crap from Amazon (FireOS) or Google (Android). Plus it's completely open for development and all apps are basically Javascript_HTML5/CSS since it's web-oriented in its philosophy. I'd post a link but I'm still under my 10 post count. If anyone is interested in helping with the porting project I have a thread already started on this forum.

Zenfone 5 and android 4.3 clarifications and recommendations.

A greeting to all. I recently joined your forum that is exceptional, prims I apologize for my English, but I use an online translator.
I bought some time ago an ASUS ZENFONE 5 from China (I think), the phone comes with root permissions. Checking was composed with ANDROID, asus only buold 4.3-t00f_ww_user_ 9.17.40.16 _20190811_0963, Keys010175_201901130121 release, CUCC A500.
Putting a hack I locked the phone. Doing all the factory reset etc, your cell phone will not turn on, reading many guides and tips on your forum I managed to Flash a new firmware.
now I find myself with: build number: ASUS_T00F_WW_user_ 1.17.40.16, _20140811_0963 release-Keys, 3.4.43 Kernel 010175_20141130121-188813-g9793bb6, android ASUS model T00F 4.3, product: ww_A500CG
Now I would like to ask if I wanted to update the android version which currently is working perfectly on zenfone 5? Then what is the difference between the various ASUS_T00F_WW_user_ and subsequent 1.17.40.16:?
Thanks in advance to all who will answer me

Installing Marshmallow/CM13 ROM from a newbie

Hi there.
Have an Asus ZenPad S 8.0 for 6 months now and it has been stuck to Android 5.0 ever since. Asus UK have been dodging my tweets and emails inquiring about Lollipop or a Marshmallow update and i'm basically fed up now.
I happen to have a Mac and limited to no experience when it comes to ROM's and zero experience to rooting a device.
I'd like to ask for help on how to easily install Marshmallow or CM13 on my tablet so i can benefit from the newest OS Android has to offer and not waiting for Asus for forever.
Many thanks.
