Downgrading ASUS MeMO Pad 7 K01A - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi XDA,
I've had a MeMO Pad 7 (K01A, also known as the ME70C) for a few months now.
I upgraded to Android L 2 months ago, and now I regret it becuase it's extremely slow compared to KitKat. (And I miss the old notifications style ) Another thing is that when I updated to L, the bootloader was updated as well.. Is there any way I can downgrade to KitKat, or am I stuck with a slow device?
Thanks!

BTW I have tried flashing the factory image through fastboot, but it says 'Error'! When it progresses halfway through the process. It's probably because of the new bootloader, and I'm not sure what to do at this point..

Hello dude i have the same sh*t problem, my tablet was very slow with this lolipop so i figure out to downgrade.
1. download from asus website dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/ME70C/WW_ME70C_V10_32_1_33_3.zip?_ga=1.149951606.1910986856.1431800663
2. the unpack until you see this file UL-K01A-WW-10.32.1.33.3-user.zip
3. copy this file to sdcard and rename it to K01A_sdupdate.zip
4. go in to recovery . i do this hold vol+ and power for 10 sec then release it with vol- choose recovery and with power confirm and you should see update progressbar, after this you will be on version 4.3
good luck for me its work i was on 5.0 now im on 4.3 and speed is good

Do you missed extra step? I cannot choose recovery. only normal boot
update: Seem like my button need to press a little hard LOL
Downgrade is successful. Thanks a lot.. 2 years stuck with this sluggish lag Lollipop now back to kitkat. I tried to search how to downgrade 2 years ago but never found until I decide to back restore to back to stock firmware and reroot this tab back yesterday. So I search how to root this tab back as I forgot the step (last root 2 year ago) and I found this tread. Try my luck and walla... It successful. Thanks @anonimovbg

Great thanks!
1.Simple instruction
2.Fastest downgrading ever done
3.Works great! I'm second owner because of update first owner - he bought new tablet. hahaha

thanks it worked. first tried from internal storage but error. then copied to microSd card and procedure worked. back to android 4.3 now.

Good news guys can install the original rom dowgrade and was caught in the android logo but I remembered that I spend the same with my desire to change the radio once and apply the solution with the tablet and it started just have to soft-reset from the recovery
poneer screen lock up, pressed the button matener volume, which is the right power press and vibrate loose when power button and move the screen lock will come out a few letters of the recovery and data delete data cache and restart one A100 factory and voila I hope will serve whoever go back and wait for the official update

I flashed the HC update.zip, and it seemed to install okay. On the reboot however, it is stuck on the "android" screen. How long do I wait? or should I power down now and try the hard reset?

For me, after moving the locker down in 4. the bootloader enters Fastboot mode, not hard-reset.
And my tablet is still stuck on Android animation.
Any other ideas?
I am having the same problem. Instead of hard reset it just gets stuck in boot on the android screen...
ETA on the bright side, I am ablew to go back to ICS... guess no going back to HC for me. Hope the OTA works when it comes out.
I'm curious about the pa ca too.
I just bought a tab from Bestbuy last friday and that was at 2.008.04 (no pa ca)
However, that had camera problems, so i returned it and got another one. This one came with a really low SW rev.
I updated a couple times and now im 2.008.03 pa ca, and System update says i have the latest version, however i know for sure there is a .04 out there...
odd
Well I finally got mine back down to HC, turned out I was doing the reset wrong. For better instructions on exactly what to do with the hard reset, see this thread:

[GUIDE] [Huawei Ascend G300] Unlock bootloader and gain root access.

Welcome all Huawei Acend G300 users, this is a full guide prepared by me which will help you unlock your bootloader and not only that but it will help you gain root access for system modifications and root required applications.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Keep in mind, this method is not confirmed working if you're running android 2.3.x [ Gingerbread ]. So do not use this if you're running it. Also dual sim ones aren't supported from what I see it tempers with the phone, I haven't tested it but many have reported it doesn't work on dual sims.
Lets get started shall we? Firstly I have gathered up some useful resources that will help you get started. Make sure you read this guide first, from top to bottom. Then continue. As you must have a clear understanding on what you are going to attempt. If you have any queries don't hesitate to ask on the thread itself.
Click to expand...

I have performed these exact steps and have successfully unlocked my bootloader and rooted the phone. So if you're worried. Don't be. After attempting this I haven't noticed any issues either.
Okay, first of all you will need to download Unlockbootloader ---> View attachment unlockbootloader.zip
Once you have downloaded the said .zip extract the .exe file inside the .zip to your desktop.
Continue by turning on USB debugging on your G300. if its already switched on then skip the part below..
Go into Settings>Developer Options and tick the USB Debugging option.
Once its switched on, plug your phone to the computer using a USB cable.
So far you've downloaded Unlockbootloader, have switched USB debugging on, and your phone is connected to your PC.
Now run the .exe file you have just extracted. Click "Root" and let it do everything, it will prompt up with a few warnings saying don't use your keyboard because CMD is running.
Once the setup finishes, your phone should be rooted.
Head into the app drawer, and if you see "SuperUser" you're now officially rooted.
Reboot your phone to finalize the rooting and exploits.
Ok, now for the bootloader.
Once your phone is on, and connected again to the PC with debugging mode on, run the .exe file again and this time click "Unlock BootLoader".
Wait for it to do its job, once done reboot again and you now have a Stock Rooted and Bootloader unlocked ICS phone.

Hi, assuming you have installed the g300 adb drivers, once the device is hanging on the boot logo and you connect the usb cable. You need to wait for windows to fully the load the adb driver before you use the unlockbootloader.exe program.

What you have to do is,turn on debug, then power off device fully by pulling off battery then putting it back in, now you must power on by golding the volume down button and power button at the same time, this should get it to be stuck on the huawei logo screen, now plug in your USB cable and wait for you PC to detect the phone and it should automatically install the devices driver's, one its done the now open the folder and run .BAT files, If you are experiencing problems here's a link for another guide : View
Hi,
After the "Unlock BootLoader", my phone doesn't boot. When the logo appears it stars to reboot again and never goes beyond that.
Any ideas ? Have I killed it ?

Turn ur phone completely off. By pulling out battery then apply the battery again.
Now hold volume down and power button and it should be in boot loader mode. If ur logo is stuck well this is in boot loader if not and it continues well.. idk

Hello krishneelg3,
I have tried a method on http://huaweig300.com but I'm stuck with the problem.
Installing USB drivers/Root/Backup IMEI went OK. Then by mistake I skipped the Step on page 5. Check Baseband and kept continued by Bootloader & ClockworkMod all went OK until the step 10. On page 6. After executing BootloaderG300.exe the phone rebooting cyclically, My operator screen appear for a approximately one second and the phone restarts again. How to resolve the problem and is there any hope to return to official ROM?
Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it.

What was ur baseband and were u running gingerbread?
If u r on official ics then this guide is for u, if not notify me.
PS : If you are running Gb I refer you to look into this guide, as long as your phone can boot into bootloader your fine, and I'm sure it will boot into Bloader mode : http://www.modaco.com/topic/353386-how-to-root-your-huawei-ascend-g300-for-windows-mac-and-linux/
Thanks krishneelg3,
my baseband is 109808, and I'm running GB.
The problem is that I don't know if I'm in a Bootloader mode when I see a pink screen?
When I press VOLUME DOWN + POWER it starts same as when I press POWER, first logoo (in my case picture of my operator) it lasts for about few seconds, then phone reboots and start doing it cyclically.
The other thing is that, when I press VOLUME DOWN + VOLUME UP + POWER, it then turns into a pink screen.
In that state (pink screen), when I plug in my phone to my PC, PC recognize my phone without reading sd card or internall memory.
So what should I do?
Thanks man, really appreciate it!
Guys,
I solved the problem.
I've just followed the instructions in step 5. on the site http://huaweig300.com and put a new update.app (1 KB) and copy it to the dload. After that I've used main dload (ICS folder, aprox abot 600 MB) and everything updated and installed successfully.
Thanks.
p.s. if anyone has or had the same problem, do not hesitate to ask.
hi all
sorry to hijack the thread
I have just got my son an ascend 300 which is locked to vodafone
its on android 2.3.6
the build number is
u881v100r001c02b892
i have a download of HDU88151079V100R001C00B934 which is the ICS but i dont think that will work for my build
ideally i want ICS but dont mind too much waiting.
but i do want to be able to get of all the bloatware.
I guess i need to root to do this.
the link to the modaco site is down and it seems this is for those lucky enough to be on ICS
would i be better off upgrading to ICS then following the method above or would i be better finding a method to root under gb (If so where)
many thanks

OK get the official pics update b927* must be that build.
After its done downloading, extract its contents to your memorycard of the phone.
Make sure the update.app is in the root of SD card .
Then power off phone, remove battery re apply battery and hold the three buttons "volume up, volume down and the power button" until a screen pops up it will then install the stock ics once its done it'll reboot twice.
If only one it doesnt matter.
Setup the phone. Now to install b934 or newer versions use cwm for dazzozos repacks or the update force method. But I advice u to look for help on modaco. Thanks.
Modaco name : krishang3

Thanks for that by b927* you are referring to a different version of HDU88151079V100R001C00B934 ?
where would i be able to get this from?
so this would give me the stock ics
what is the advantage of then installing HDU88151079V100R001C00B934 ?
Thanks

Your on gingerbread so your baseband Is 109808 and if u flash any b934+ stock using the combinations say goodbye to your phone. I did that to my brothers and it bricked.
So to get to ice you must install b927 version of ics then your baseband will change to the new one *2030* now you can flash any b934+ stocks because you now have the new baseband.
Go to modaco and enter the G300 forums and look at the first dew pages all the info and guides you need. Procedure is simple.

Revert Tab S 8.4 to stock kitkat

I just got a Tab S 8.4 used on ebay.
I like the tab but lots of apps I use are not lollipop compatible even when side loaded.
I want to revert this Tab S 8.4 from lollipop to the stock samsung kitkat. (32gb Titanium, USA,. wifi only version)
I just found this link with instructions:
http://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (WiFi)/5432/XAR/T700XXU1ANL2/T700XAR1ANL2/
Can I just download that and follow the instructions to get back to kitkat without any issue or tripping knox?
thanks.
Use this link: https://mega.nz/#!AYsCFaiY!aOJs57p3EV0HYzDYUxkE0QTgfW2ztCTzUYhtBKhhTZM
That is my own personal upload to Mega. It will probably be a faster download and I know it's safe.
Steps:
1. Place tablet in download mode (Turn tablet off, press and hold POWER, HOME, and VOLUME DOWN until you come to a warning screen. Click VOLUME UP to continue to download mode.)
2. Download zip file
3. Extract the file
4. Open Odin
5. Select AP
6. Select the file you just extracted
7. Click start
I've used these steps without issue. As far as KNOX is concerned, it is my understanding that flashing a custom ROM is what trips it and not stock firmware. I could be wrong on the KNOX issues.
thanks! it is a slow download.... yours is much quicker.
Any particular version of Odin to download? (3.10.6 work? or Samsung Odin 3.09?)
so installing this OVER the lollipop stock firmware I have...very little chance of bricking following the instructions if all goes well right?
I'm not new to flashing just want to make sure as I have heard someone say a samsung rep said you can't downgrade
Thanks very much!
I'm surprised at what you say, I haven't had a single issue with any app being incompatible with lollipop.
These must be pretty outdated apps.
3 of note:
simply note: you can't access it's menu system. (yes it is old, but it works the way I like just fine in kitkat)
xfinity tv go: no audio, freezes, crashes
Both Go Launcher HD & EX do weird things...unuseable.
The latest versions can't be setup the way I prefer and had on previous tablet or phone running kitkat.
all 3 run perfect in kitkat
Now granted all but the xfinity are old, but they work/config the way I want them to be.
I'd rather just have it the way I want then compromise if it all possible.

Version 3.10.6 is the version I use so you should be fine there. I have the same model as you, but mine is 16GB instead of 32. I seriously doubt that would make any difference. Yes, flashing over Lollipop is what I did. Ran into no issues whatsoever!
ok I did that and now it just boots to the samsung logo then holds there.
Tried turning off, won't do it.
held down vol power and home and it goes back into download mode.
I tried to flash again it does it successfully and reboots (just like first time) and it just freezes at samsung boot logo.
before that comes up it does show the green droid for a moment.
any ideas?

Boot into recovery mode and restore factory defaults. That should get you through the Samsung logo. Turn device off, hold POWER + VOLUME UP + HOME, select factory reset
ok i'm in setup now (like a new device)
thanks!
damn that made me sweat for a minute.

Yea, I was freaking out when I first did that. I figured at that point it wouldn't hurt to give everything else a try. Enjoy your KitKat! I noticed that the colors seems to be more vivid with KitKat than Lollipop as well. That's one reason I went back.
Hi...can i have the link again?
TQ.

Cf auto root help?? Samsung galaxy s6 edge+

This is probably dumb to even post but tried rooting my phone with cf-auto-root SM 928 T running 5.1 1 downloaded the correct on is the correct version for cf-auto-root notice it wouldn't identify my phone on the Odin screen.. Anyway after numerous attempts I was bummed because it kept bootlooping :/ now I'm stuck with a beautiful shiny paperweight. It won't do anything! I don't care if you hold the volume up volume down power button menu button same time I have tried everything I found on here and Android authority. There's not a single light that shines on this beauty that shows me that it was working ever!! I have the phone backed up on my computer with Smart Switch but.. don't know. Anyway, hope everyone has a good New Years

This is probably dumb to even post but tried rooting my phone with cf-auto-root SM 928 T running 5.1 1 downloaded the correct on is the correct version for cf-auto-root notice it wouldn't identify my phone on the Odin screen.. Anyway after numerous attempts I was bummed because it kept bootlooping :/ now I'm stuck with a beautiful shiny paperweight. It won't do anything! I don't care if you hold the volume up volume down power button menu button same time I have tried everything I found on here and Android authority. There's not a single light that shines on this beauty that shows me that it was working ever!! I have the phone backed up on my computer with Smart Switch but.. don't know. Anyway, hope everyone has a good New Years

Here is the step by step instructions on how to get your phone working properly again.
This link also has download links for everything you need to flash:

By the way there is NO cf-autoroot which is compatible with our phones. You need to flash a rooting kernel
which can be found here:

Before you can use the rooting kernel you need to follow the instructions here:

Good luck,
Have a Happy New Years.
Thanks Mr junkie actually plugged it into the car charger and got a spark out of it put it in safe mode it started charging turn it off turn it back on and now I have a rooted device! Very happy with this how I can send back the note 5 I've been holding out from T Mobile on my jump program for 2 months lol sure came in handy today have a great New Years.
Check root checker said it was rooted then immediately went into boot loop oMG been working on it for the last 11 hours with a computer that just does not want to load the files you have told the community to download when in trouble. Anyway factory reset my computer Lenovo yoga pro 3 going to give another go at it can't really have such a beautiful phone only used as a paperweight :/ my galaxy 4 s5 and Nexus 6 rooted with a breeze still not giving up though obviously. I'll keep you posted thanks for all your help though I know I'm going in the right direction with your help.
CF Auto root is the Bomb! 928t variant good to go!!

Back to my Note 2...

I have been away from my Note two for over 2 years since I had my beloved Note 4. Well the 4 kicked the bucket the other day so I had to fire my Note two back up.
What is the newest greatest rom I can put on this. I am still running stock Kit Kat 4.4.2 .
I would like the best newest rom for the the Note two with root and tether. Also a good kernel with battery life.
One problem I am having is every time I Odin TWRP it says complete but I can not get it to come up (volume up,power and home) and it also takes my cell coverage away. I get a red x where the signal bars are. Any help please with some step by step directions
Thanks

take a look at the Note 2 Android Development thread, there are plenty of roms from Stock KitKat based to nogut 7.1.1 aosp.
also when you flash TWRP via Odin make sure that "auto reboot" is unchecked in Odin, and let it flash till it finishes and wait for a while then disconnect the phone and remove the battery and insert it again then try reboot into recovery.
I have never had a problem flashing twrp 3.0 but every time i do on this note 2 it never works. The volume up, power and home and it just stays at the Samsung logo forever. When i restart it, it goes to the normal home screen but i get a red x where my signal bars are and i have no cell signal.
If i use kies to get back to my regular rom i have signal no but still no twrp.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
All i want is the newest greatest rom for note 2 with tether.

Ok, i have another option, download latest KingRoot.apk and install it in your phone, and then root it using that app, after it finishes it should say that your phone was successfully rooted, now download latest TWRP 3 but in image format (.img) not (.tar), and install Flashify app from play store, now open flashify and in flash section choose "Recovery Image" and then "choose a file" and locate the TWRP you downloaded and flash it, now it should say success and ask you if you want to reboot into recovery, press "OK" or "yes" or "let's go".. don't actually remember, but you will get it.
Thanks for helping .
I did everything you said and I am now rooted but when I go to that fly site and try to download any of the twrp it says ...
"something went wrong downloading please try again later" I have done this multiple times and keeps saying the same.
I have never had so many problems putting twrp on my phone.
Thanks again

Oh, i get it now, you are using Sprint note 2 device.
the model number is SPH-L900, i thought you have international version like the N7100 or the N7105.
anyway here you are the TWRP 3.0.2.0 image for the SPH-L900.
sorry, it's a zip file, extract it and you will get the recovery image, I couldn't upload the image directly because i get "error grabbing file.." it's a bug in the XDA Labs i guess.
You are awesome , got it to work . Thanks
Now I have to figure out what to flash.
