Hello, friends!
It's been a really long time after my Q900 and X3D-SE...
For those who are having trouble with Asus Fonepad 7 2014 FE170CG in terms of softbrick, kindly take some time to read this thread.
I am currently on Latest Kitkat with version: 11.2.3.33
1.) In terms of Rooting(Offcourse YES, this tab is rootable) i rooted this device with Rootzenphone.apk(attached below). Kindly follow the tutorial here to root the device. When it doesn't get rooted in first time, repeat it. I got it rooted at 1st time itself. After rooting, i removed all the apps i don't need!
2.) To update your Fonepad, download the appropriate zip firmware(zip rom) from the Asus site. Download the matching SKU's only. For eg: WW-WW, CN-CN, JP-JP etc... And i really don't know about installing CN firmware over WW variants. After downloading, rename your file accordingly. Eg: UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.33-user.zip to k012_sdupdate.zip and put the file in the root of external SD card. Time to backup all your critical data! Finally switch off your tab. Now press Vol up + Power buttons until you see the Asus logo. If you are in Jelly Bean, the options are slightly different where you have to choose SD update. Your tab will now reboot to recovery, installs the update and reboots back to the installed firmware. On the other hand, if you are in KitKat, the options like SD download and SD update won't be available because they are removed from the newer Fastboot images. The SD update and SD download are now replaced by recovery option which is the one you need to select. After that device will reboot and install the updates.
3.) To downgrade the firmware to JellyBean, download the appropriate version of the firmware file(I used UpdateLauncher_K012_WW_10_32_1_33_1.zip) and follow the steps as above. Your device will be downgraded. In this version the options on the Droidboot menu will be different from the KitKat version. Just choose SD update to install any other updates.
4.) This is the main part for which i am creating this thread!
THE SOFT BRICK
I was pulling off my hairs for about a day trying to figure out the problem.
Reason for my softbrick: I got a feeling that my device was slightly going slow and the amount of available free RAM was only 200MB. SO, i was considering to Downgrade the firmware from Kitkat to Jellybean. I downloaded the Jellybean firmware UpdateLauncher_K012_WW_10_32_1_33_1.zip from the Asus site and installed it using the method above! Everything went fine and device booted to JellyBean with the familiar interface. Everything was fine but i noticed that the device was slightly heating up and was missing many features like dual apps etc... Hence i decided to go back to KitKat which is were all the problems began! I downloaded the latest firmware UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.33-user.zip. Installation begun as usual but at the end, installation was terminated with a message error. I was shocked! When i rebooted the device i got a USB icon with a red progress bar in a second and went away! The device neither booted nor charged! I repeatedly tried this procedure but failed continuously. I booted to the Droid Boot and saw the firmware version was fine and can't figure what the problem was! But i noticed that the same JellyBean firmware installed again without any glitches and booted fine. When i tried the Kitkat firmware, it failed again and device didnt't boot. This is tricky part! So, i downloaded the first kitkat firmware UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.18.2-user.zip after the JellyBean and tried to install it. To my suprise, the installation went fine and device booted up with that KitKat firmware. Now i put the latest Kitkat firmware UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.33-user.zip to the external SD card and tried to install it and it successfully installed :victory: :victory: Now i am back on the latest firmware
My recommendation : If you do anything, make sure to backup data and have knowledge on what you are doing. Thanks for reading this thread. Please press thanks if i helped you!
Lollipop update has been released some time ago. Please remember to unroot before you update or else you'll get soft bricked.
downgrade and ota update
In lillipop i got major laggs and baterry drained more than 50% over night in standby mode.
So I downgrade to latest kitkat WW_V11.2.3.33 from asus site, using fastboot and intel temporary cwm recovery.
It works great but now ifwi is 64.33 from lollipop, not 64.25 from kitkat.
It seems there is an OTA update WW_V11.2.3.34 but I dont get notification for download.
Is there any way to downgrade ifwi version?
Or do I have to ask here someone for capture the WW_V11.2.3.34 OTA update from /cache and upload here?
Or is there any fix for lillipop horrible lag (2-3 secs after presing or swiping) and masive battery drain? I tried factory reset lollipop and even reinstall with fastboot erase system and intel thetered temp cwm install UL-K012-WW-12.8.1.26-user.zip

Hello! Ifwi is easy! Take the KitKat Firmware and unzip it complitely, so that you have acces to the files of the rom.zip (Firmware)! In the Firmware (1st-Site) is a ifwi.zip! Unzip this ifwi.zip, and take the dnx_fwr.bin (VLC) and the ifwi.bin (VLC) file, and copy it to your adb/fastboot binarys! Then go to fastboot-mode and First: fastboot flash dnx dnx_fwr.bin, when its done, Second: fastboot flash ifwi ifwi.bin, when its done, reboot bootloader, and check ifwi-version! Should be the version you have flashed!
But do it in your own! Im not responsebile for failure or brick!

CLVp_CSAX_FWR_DnX_20.3E.bin
CLVp_CSAX_OS_DnX_20.3E.bin
IFWI_v64.25_CSAX_PROD.bin
signed_CLVP_CSAX_SoftFuseFile.bin
Dont I have to flash them all? or just the ...FWR_DnX.bin and IFWI_v64.24....bin?
My dear friends, please concentrate on getting Clockworkmod and Cyanogenmod... I am trying real hard here. I contacted all the devs i could, none willing to help me! No device & vendor tree, Locked bootloader, No custom recovery, No stable ROM...... Really feeling so down
OK! You have Four ifwi-Files, Yes then Flash them All!
Expecting some help over here!!! Support me for creating device and vendor trees........

Hello, i tried to downgrade IFWI version by following your method... Everything flashed successfully but the version number stays the same! For eg. if i flash version 64.25, it still stays the 64.33 version of Lollipop firmware only!!! Do you know why???

Hello! Have you more than this two files in your ifwi.zip? In many cases there are more files in ifwi.zip! Unzip the ifwi.zip and flash all files what is in there! Token.files=fastboot flash token filename, dnx.files=fastboot flash dnx filename, and ifwi.files=fastboot flash ifwi filename! But i suggest you, when you not need this ifwi/dnx for anything, then you should stay on the newer ifwi?! ifwi is BIOS for Intel Phones! So you have KitKat with the newer BIOS-update from Lollipop! Its like a BIOS-update for PC!
Ever since i flashed that Lollipop 64.33 IFWI, i didn't get access to the 11.2.3.34 update at all! So, do you think this IFWI version is problem or Asus pulled that firmware from its servers???
@irfanjunaid , Hello sir.
I just got Asus model: k012 Stuck on logo.
Now i am downloading all the firmwares u mentioned in the OP, but one question .. Did u flash them via stock recovery or u flashed the temporary cwm recovery available .

Always flash Stock ROM via stock recovery.... I did via stock recovery... But don't forget, rename the downloaded zip file to k012_sdupdate.zip and put it into a clean formatted SD card. Now press volume up + Power button until you see Asus logo. Now choose Recovery. Now your tab boots to recovery, installs firmware and reboots itself.... Note: No downgrade possible, cannot change SKU(WW-CN etc.....)
I get stuck at the Asus Logo after intel splash.... with a spinning wheel that keeps on going and going and going.... I have download the files you mentioned above, put them on SD card but cannot boot into droidboot, it goes back to main screen. When I select Recovery, it runs about 5 seconds and gives error and then restarts. What seems to be the problem here?
Thanks!

What version of firmware are you in now? Is it rooted? Did you try a factory reset? After factory reset allow tab to take some time to boot up... After that go developer settings -> turn ON usb debugging... Now in PC, run adb via commandline and run adb reboot bootloader... Now see if it goes to droidboot...
This is what I find in bootloader mode. Why can't it go in to droidboot?
IFWI Version: 64.25
SERIAL: E60KBC383526
DROIDBOOT VERSION: TW_FONEPAD-11.2.3.18.2-20141022
PRODUCT: K012
Following Firmwares:
UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.18.2-user.zip
UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.33-user.zip
I tried the old version but to no avail. Also the latest!
Thanks!

This is the droidboot.... You can now connect your tab to PC and issue fastboot commands to it.... For example: Fastboot erase cache
But for heaven's sake please don't install lollipop update.....
Now try this: Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot erase userdata
Now choose reboot....
See if it boots up....
I have installed the TWRP and just wanted to update to Android 6. The problem is, that once the download finishes and the phone reboots, it puts me in the TWRP instead of installing the update. How do I proceed to update my phone to Android 6?
You want to install OTA on TWRP? Not gonna work, find your software number(4.xx.xx.xx) in Settings/about. Then flash stock recovery(numbers must match with software number) and try to apply OTA. You might need clean stock(non-rooted) rom.
I checked my version and it says 4.16.401.13, so I downloaded the stock+recovery+4.16.401.13_M8 and flashed it via adb using "fastboot flash recovery img". When I wanted to install the OTA I got into the recovery and got this: http://imgur.com/FpVk5Sg
Afaik I have the official ROM and just got root access for a few apps back in the days

unexpected contents(i think thats some root binaries etc)...
Anyways, check this thread and download stock twrp nand for your 4.16.401.13 firmware from here, follow the steps carefully, it's easy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
Thank you! Am I seeing that right, that all of my apps and co will be gone afterwards?
Yep, but you can always backup apps(+data of apps) with titanium backup pro and restore later.

You haven't posted enough information. Posting that you have the "same problem" isn't helpful, and usually leaves us lacking the specific information needed to help you at all.
Do fastboot getvar all, and post the output (delete IMEI and serial number).
Also, is Bootloader is unlocked?
Is the phone currently on stock ROM? Rooted?
What version TWRP?
Went through the whole process to get an unlocked phone working on verizon - unlock bootloader, TWRP, s-off, etc.
Went back and flashed stock 1.21 recovery since that's what my phone was on, did a factory reset after getting this error the first time.
Still getting the error -
Code:
Can't update software. There was an unexpected error and the file system may be corrupted. Please contact HTC support for further assistance.
Before flashing the stock recovery I did try to restore the recovery/system image from TWRP's system backup, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Try flashing this zip in download mode (fastboot flash zip pathtozip.zip)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8OH6sFjVE1ld1ptNTFEaEc3Rms/view?usp=docslist_api
Reboot and try ota again.
This will flash the unlocked radio though, so you'll need to reperform the steps from the Verizon thread after you do this. please report back if it works.

Worked great. Thanks!
For anyone else following this thread, if you're flashing the zip and see this:
Code:
remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately
Just flash again right away and it'll work fine.

Hey there, Ive come across your post after experiencing the same problem on a HTC10 international version. Can I ask if the file that you've provided work on the international version? Also do I have to restore my twrp backup as well? Thanks a lot!
Hi there, same problem: "Can't update software. There was an unexpected error and the file system may be corrupted. Please contact HTC support for further assistance."
Htc 10 unlocked, v. 1.90.401.5
I followed post #2 without success.
Some idea please?
Help, please! ?
I gave up with the same problem and switched to a custom rom - Leedroid.
Thank you Simplici. So no chance with official stock to solve this problem?

There is. You could flash an appropriate RUU if available. Although it'll wipe all you're data, it should restore the phone to a status, making an OTA update possible again. Those errors could be caused by a once r/w mounted system partition, or a tripped dm-verity flag. You'll find more on this issues and help of how to properly restore over at the Guides section of this forum.
Edit: here's the link regarding the corrupt system partition error: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...o-ota-receive-corrupt-message-t3378187/page43

can some one reload the file again? there's no file in google drive
Hello,
While trying to root my J200GU I accidently wiped the OS. Now I am left with the TWRP recovery mode and access to Download mode.
I have been trying to flash a stock firmware to my phone using different methods without success:
1- Used Odin tool but it fails when it begins to write the rom
2- ADB sideload - Gives me an error saying the rom is missing the META INF
3- TWRP Install - I tried different zipped roms and all of them give me error saying cannot detect MD5, although the file is there inside.
I am very confused I dont know what is wrong. I am not sure if the roms I use are good but since I already tried multiples I might be doing somethin else wrong.
Can anyone help me out. Does anyone has a stock rom that actually works? or a method?
Thanks.

download the official samsung firmware at sammobile then flash it through odin.
Hi,
I have a Samsung A32 SM-A325F and the bootloader is not unlocked.
The device was running Android 12 and i decided to update to Android 13 via OTA update; so i downloaded the OTA update and clicked 'install', then the device rebooted trying to apply that update but something went wrong and now the device is in bootloop, recovery and download mode are both accessible.
I already tried to download various firmwares (Android 12 and 13).
I tried to flash these firmwares both ways through SD Card and Odin (As Admin) and all flashed successfully but nothing changed, still in bootloop.
It's important for me to don't erase DATA (I flashed the firmwares with HOME_CSS and not the stock CSS, so DATA wouldn't be formatted)!
If someone knows how to fix this i would appreciate a comment,
Thanks.

there's no way to solve it without wiping /data or taking to samsung
i think the only way you could solve it is by NAND Erasing and repartitioning the phone using a .pit file, but afaik that uses odim...

I double that. Only complete re-flashing. Here are the instructions. And here you can download the full stock firmware.
Ok,
Thank you.

After downgrading android or any firmware is mandatory a format of the /data filesystem, otherwise, bootloop will happen. Maybe try setting up adb and pulling your files via the recovery mode.

Flash your device using SP flash tool.
Please make a scatter firmware first using the odin files and then flash the phone in BROM mode.
