Hello all,
I am new of this forum but I read yet a lot of threads for multiples problems in the past.
Sorry for my english, I am french.
I create a thread because I try to help a little girl which has its Asus MeMO Pad 8 ME181CX bricked.
It can boot anymore.
SInce 2 days, I read a lot of resources on internet (google) and tried a lot of methods without success.
I tried the factory reset => Not works
I got the "UL-K011-WW-3_1_23_172.zip" file from ASUS => the file correspond to the "WW" tablet version
I tried adb commands (adb sideload) method => Not works
I tried fastboot flash => Not works
I tried flash a new recovery system (TWRP) => Not works, the tablet was not rooted so the bootloader prevents to flash the recovery mode.
My principal problem is that there is not the "system.img" file inside the official zip archive.
There is only "boot.img" and "fastboot.img".
I can flash them but it is not enough...I must flash the "system".
I have only the "system" folder so I searched a way to generate a "system.img" file from this folder.
Very not easy to do such a thing.
I booted on a Linux (Ubuntu) partition and I generated an ISO file from system folder, then with "dd" command I generate the "system.img".
All these things take a long time to do because of the size of datas to manipulate (between 500 MB and 1.5 GB).
Even with a "system.img" file, I cannot flash it on the tablet.
I tried first this :
C:\adttools>fastboot flash system system.img

I found a program "SparseConverter_1.0.1" to try to chunk the "system.img" but it does not work because "system.img" has a size which is not a multiple of the block 4096.
And now, I cannot find another solution.
The ideal situation would be to find an authentic "system.img" file but it seems that ASUS does not want to give it for "WW" version.
Is someone has a idea to succeed to have this damned "system.img" file ?
Thanks a lot for any help I could receive on this problem.
I cannot imagine to say to this child that her tablet must go to the garbage.

If you have root you can figure out your devpath to the system partition and use dd commands to make a system.img.
Example:
/dev/block/platform(or bootdevice)/(chipset)/by-name/system
You have to figure out the path to the by-name folder and also take note of how it is labeled. It could be system, System, or SYSTEM.
then to execute
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-pxav3.2/by-name/SYSTEM of=/sdcard/system.img
This is the exact command for my TAB3. Your dd if path will be slightly different.
This can also be done in linux with a folder, I think this is what you need to do.
dd if=/path/to/system/folder of=/path/to/output/system.img
If I had an access to the file system of the tablet, I could directly copy the content of the system folder.
But I do not have such an access.
I have only 2 possibilities :
- fastboot (volume UP + power button)
- adb sideload (via recovery mode) => I cannot use other command adb such as adb pull or adb push
And adb, I cannot do charge the official zip because the system says that there is a signature problem (it stoppes each time between 95-99%)
So the only way I see is to obtain the "system.img" file.
I have only system folder for the official zip file.
But I have other problems when I try to create myself the necessary "system.img".
I tried another method putting an "update.zip" file on a external sdcard..but this method does not seem to have any chance to work.
So I searched for the "system.img" file.
I see that a lot of person ask it on internet but nobody seems to have it.
For information, I have just tested to download the "TW" version (Taiwan I suppose).
As the "WW" version (World Wide, I suppose), there is not "system.img" file inside the zip archive file named "UL-K011-TW-3.1.23.191-user.zip".
Not easy to find some information to solve my problem.
I found a link which helped me a little to generate a "system.img" file :
https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/124344/trying-to-flash-a-system-img-i-took-with-dd-failing
I share the information to help other persons in the same situation than me.
The command is :
make_ext4fs -l 1792M -s system.img ./system
With that command, I could flash the system with these commands :
fastboot -S 512M flash system system.img
fastboot -S 512M flash fastboot fastboot.img
fastboot -S 512M flash boot boot.img
=> fastboot.img AND boot.img are given by ASUS in the ZIP archive file
But even if the flash are OK, that did not make the ASUS MeMO PAD 8 work when I reboot the tablet.
I think that there is another problem from the "system.img" file...but I don't know what.
Any idea someone ?
Hey Guys,
i'm having a big Problem. I hard bricked a OP x.
I think there is a problem with the partitions.
I can flash recoverys. I can't flash or wipe anything in TWRP because "Failed to mount '/system' (invalid argument)".
And flashing stock OOS via fastboot is not working too.
