I am not sure which rom you already flashed since that information was not in your post.
If you have the "Wicked 7" rom flashed, then all you need to do is to start the flash again as usual
& then the AROMA installer will display a choice of only changing the options instead of flashing
the entire rom a second or third time.
The Wicked 7 rom is the only Tmobile M919 Jellybean 4.2.2 stock based custom rom which is available
with that special option not having to re-flash the rom just to change the select different options.
It's like having 2 AROMA installers, one for flashing the rom itself & the other for changing the options.
The "Wicked" roms is what I have been using for years now and I have not found any other roms
which are as excellent and full of new and useful features and options.
It is also the most reliable and error free rom I have flashed.
( I have flashed and tried them all and found nothing better)
Good luck!

* Your warranty is void.

bad side effects.
* You alone are responsible for any damages or other issues that may arise

This has undergone basic testing on multiple devices running supported ROMs, but
again, there are no guarantees. Use it at your own risk.
In particular, OTA updates have not been tested on rooted devices.
Introduction
What Is This?
The FonePad 7 has a very secure stock ROM that is not vulnerable to any known exploit. But fortunately for us, Asus introduced their own vulnerability in it, which we can take advantage of. This is a guide that will help you root your FonePad 7 using that vulnerability.
How Does It Work?
Overplayed, Cool-Sounding Version
OTADelusion exploits multiple critical security vulnerabilities in the over-the-air update mechanism employed by the FonePad 7 -
The update delta packages are delivered to the device through an unencrypted medium.
The device can be configured to use any DNS server and it does not verify DNS query responses.
The package verification process relies on an asymmetric key-pair whose private key is compromised.
A man-in-the-middle attack is performed while downloading an OTA update by forcing the device to use a rogue DNS server which directs the device to connect to a rogue web server. This web server serves malicious update packages with forged cryptographic signatures. These update packages are designed to install a permanent backdoor in the device, allowing the user full access to it.
Down-To-Earth Version
Someone at Asus forgot the 'S' in 'HTTPS'
Someone at Asus forgot to replace the test Android signing key with their own
1 + 2 = Pwnage
What Do I Need To Use It?
A FonePad 7 running a supported version of the stock ROM (check the section below for a list of supported versions)
A working Wi-Fi connection (this will NOT work on 2G or 3G)
Supported ROM Versions
Go to Settings -> About tablet and check the "Build number" field
3.2.2 - NOT supported. Upgrade to 3.2.4
3.2.4 - Supported (WW and TW)
5.1.6 - NOT supported. I need volunteers to help me test.
5.2.2 - Supported (WW)
5.2.5 - NOT supported. May be added in the future. Check this thread for updates.

Installation Instructions
Follow these steps -
Read the disclaimer at the top of this post.
Make sure you're connected to a WiFi connection, NOT 2G/3G.
Go to Settings -> About tablet -> System Update and check for updates.
When you see the update prompt, select "NO"
Go to Settings -> Apps -> scroll to the "All" tab -> CMClient
Press the "Force Stop" button
Press the "Clear Data" button
Repeat the above steps with DMClient in the Apps list
Go to Settings -> WiFi -> long press on your network -> Modify Network and follow these steps -
Set IP Settings to "Static"
Note down the values of DNS 1 and DNS 2 somewhere.
Set DNS 1 to <snip>
Make DNS 2 blank
At this point, your Internet connection will stop functioning correctly. This is intended and temporary.
Repeat step 3. If it shows an error, reboot and repeat this step.
Make sure you get an update called "OTADelusion".
Download and install the update.
After reboot, go back to WiFi settings and restore the previous values of DNS 1 and DNS 2.
You now have root. Enjoy! But also be careful - there is currently no way to de-brick this device if you screw up.

Status
Running an update server costs actual money, so I won't be able to keep it running indefinitely. I expect to be able to keep it running through 2014 at least, but there are no guarantees. It can go offline at any time. The address mentioned may also change at times. This post will be updated if that happens. Server taken down because there is now an offline method.
Current Server Status: Offline
Thanks for the hard work man, hope you are able to solve the other versions as well. :good:
Hey, just a thinking. If Asus can update the "update" app, maybe you can too, and then send any updates (and modification) you want, no?
If it's possible, we have a big posibility in here i think

It's certainly possible, but a much cleaner solution would be to get a working recovery. The bootloader is locked, but it looks like it's not encrypted. There may be a way to make it accept a custom recovery.
But we need someone who's willing to take the risk of possible bricking and test the recovery on their device.
I think that it could be a good idea to open one of our devices, to see if there's some JTAG (or thing like that) to have a fully trustable backup option.

It hasn't been tested yet. I would suggest you don't, at least until somebody else confirms that it works.
I do suspect that there is some code in the OTA package that triggers a ROM verification in the bootloader, but I'm not sure.
Either way, if somebody's willing to take the risk, let me know. I can make a modified update package that should reduce the risk of bricking.
Hi, Dr. Psycho
Thank you for your quick reply.
I am using 5.2.2 firmware, so need to waiting for next rooting opportunity..
BTW, after rooting, if can't download upgrading package automatically, is there any way to flash the package manually (if i can download it from somewhere)?

The only way is to do what I'm doing with this guide. You'll need to run a fake DNS server and a web server and fool the tablet into downloading your package. If you're on the latest version of the stock ROM, you'll need to either patch the DMClient app or install a self-signed CA certificate (not through Settings, you'll need to copy it to /system).
This thread has a lot of information for those interested, especially in the last ten or so pages: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514714
EDIT: Just realized you might talking about official updates. Those will be downloadable and installable, but we don't know if it'll work. It might brick your device.
What I wrote above was for custom mods.
This will all become much easier if we get a working recovery.
Yes, I mean official ROM upgrading after rooting. Sorry for the confusing.
I am waiting for Android 4.4, I don't know when Asus can release it for ME372CG. I don't want rooting affect ROM upgrading in the future.
Your answer is quite clear, thanks!

Hello all!!!
Dr. Psycho, I confirm your solution is working!!!!.... Thank you very much... I bought the device today, based on your solution to root the phone... Thank you again...
Theodore
Thanks! working great here
I noticed that some JP (as opposed to WW and TW) FonePad 7 users are trying to use my server to root. The JP version isn't supported yet (I didn't even know it existed). I can add it if someone with the JP version could help me get some values from their device. It'll only take a couple of minutes. Send me a private message if you're interested.
To check if you're using the JP version, go to Settings -> About tablet and check the "Build number" field. It should say "JP" somewhere in the middle.
Botto00 rooted the original Fonepad and made it Flash capable. There are several Flash browsers (Photon, Flashfox, Puffin), but because the Flash stream is redirected it's not a good viewing experience. I was wondering If you had any plans to incorporate Flash in your rooting method? I've already taken advantage of your root and maybe it's too late anyhow.

If I did come up with patches or ROMs, already having root would't be a problem at all. It shouldn't be too hard to make an app that instructs the bootloader to flash a package like DMClient does. Even if it turns out to be difficult, with root access, I can easily hijack the update-checking mechanism with a self-signed CA certificate and a web server, similar to how we're achieving root right now.
I did in fact have plans to make a recovery or at least an app that would act like a minimalistic recovery and let you flash recovery packages. The problem is, I'd need either a test device or a daring volunteer. And time too - I don't have much of that right now.

I quite understand time limitations working on stuff like this - I think everyone appreciates the time and effort you've spent on rooting Fonepad 7.
I followed the procedure in the link. Unfortunately, it doesn't work... maybe that fix is for machines that still support Flash.
Would I dare to volunteer? Hmm... now that I've got root I don't think I would risk it.

USB OTG
Hi, i know this is not the right tread to ask but since there is not forum about our tablet i'll ask here. I have a fonemap 7 ME372GC the 4 GB version (witch by the way doesn't appear on Asus page) and i'm not able to use usb OTG. Is this not possible on our tablets or does mine have something wrong? I have 5.22 rom version andoid 4.3. I use an OTG cable witch is working on my HTC One
Thank you for your help
Let's root it again
Hi Dr. Psycho,
I just got a Asus fonepad 7 model: k00E (ME372CG) and I will put some more data about this device:
- Firmware version: 54.2F
- Android version: 4.2.2
- Baseband version: 1338G_1.12.0_0913
- Kernel version : 3.4.34-00006-gc3b491f
[email protected] #1
Fri Sep 13 21:24:31 CST 2013
- Build number: JDQ39.WW_epad-V3.2.1-20120913
000053_201307241030
It seems as this is the older version of the build then 3.2.4 but it is well WW.
Should I upgrade to version 3.2.4 (and can you explain me how to do this but still to avoid ASUS upgrading to even newest version) or may I try to update this "OTADelusion" update directly with this "old" build number following the instructions ?
And is there any risk of bricking my device with rooting following this method as you stated that there is no way to de-brick Asus fonepad 7 yet ?
Or is there any other (older and safer) way to root this older build version except this "OTADelusion" ?
Thanks in advance !
Cheers !
ColorOS 2.0 for G Pro by WS008
Based on CM10.1 (4.2.2) and ColorOS Patchrom
Please take note that although this ROM is based on CM10.1, it is not merely a modification to the CyanogenMod. It uses a similar method to MIUI in building the ROM. You will get a ColorOS experience instead of a CM one by flashing it.
About ColorOS
ColorOS is a firmware based on Android with intensive modifications. It was created by Oppo and originally ran only on Oppo devices such as the Oppo Find 7. In 2014, Oppo started its Patchrom Open Source Project and allowed the ROM to be ported to other Android devices.
The ROM is ported by the Chinese developer WS008. The development of the ROM has stopped (for a long time...)
Features
ColorOS features
Added SmartMax to the kernel.
Zipaligned.
Rooted, SuperSU.
Smooth as CM10.1.
Improved battery life.
Double tap to wake.
Slide to wake.
Included Aroma Installer. You may choose which variant you have and whether you want GApps when flashing.
Screenshots
How to install
Install custom recovery (PhilZ Touch recovery recommended) (There are issues with TWRP.)
Wipe Data/Cache/System (Important)
Flash zip -> Select Your variant -> Select GApps
Downloads
From ColorOS official server.
Known Issues
NFC not working.
FAQs
1. Why 4.2.2?
The ColorOS Patchrom currently only supports Android 4.2.2. The update can only made by Oppo. We will try to update to KitKat as quickly as we can once Oppo releases the KitKat update to the Patchrom.
2. Why Chinese?
The ROM is in Chinese by default (Sorry, we cannot change it unless Oppo does something.) You may switch to English in Settings (设置).
If you like this ROM, please click the "Thanks" button. We will also appreciate a lot if you connect to the Internet at least once after flashing for statistical purposes.

Thank you very much @JTJTJ.
Eventhough you are not the developer, but your action helps us very much as we do not have that great assortment of roms.

Sorry, but i've tried to install it several times on F220K, the installation process completes well and then it does'nt boot, then i tried F240k variant and it installed and booted well, but it had some graphics glitches on F220k, any help would be appriciated,
It doesn't boot on my phone
Flashed the E988 variant
ROM installed fine but everything is in Chinese. Color OS looks beautiful. I wish they added more steps in English for initial set up. This thread will be hard to maintain in English unless we are able to install in English.

I have just installed the rom. It works pretty well. NFC seems to work (didn't try with another phone though).
You can flash it with CWM in Freegee.
There is a tutorial to get english on Youtube:
Thanks to let us try ColorOs
UPDATE: It's not too bad, I'm not 100% sure what the OTA does but I'm on the 06/16 build. I'll try and see if I can get the double-tap wake to work in a bit. Just seeing if I can change the Chinese keyboard to an English one since installing Google Keyboard from the Playstore FC's. Overall: not bad at all.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, the speaker sounds noticeably better on here. I'm not sure what's different but the quality is great.
May I know how to disable NFC function? I click disable but it still keeping enable. Is it a bug?
So, I tried this before, and I loved the features. I couldnt however get wifi and stuff to work. I want to try it again, but the zip wont download correctly :/ It is "invalid"
EDIT: If anyone has the same problem, download and use DAp. It downloaded it without making it invalid, lol.

Anyone else have problems with getting stuck a LG logo upon first booting after install? I found that it can be fixed by copying 'wcd9310_mbhc.bin' and 'wcd9310_anc.bin' into '/system/etc/firmware/wcd9310/' (files available from here). I packed them into the ZIP, reinstalled, and am now having a colorful os.
The non-existence of those files causes this error upon install, though it wasn't reported by the installer--it claimed success!:
Code:
symlink: failed to symlink /system/etc/firmware/wcd9310/wcd9310_mbhc.bin to /data/misc/audio/mbhc.bin: No such file or directory
symlink: failed to symlink /system/etc/firmware/wcd9310/wcd9310_anc.bin to /data/misc/audio/wcd9310_anc.bin: No such file or directory
Which, I think, caused a nasty loop of '[CAM/E][ERR] ce1702_i2c_rxdata failed!' errors upon first boot, keeping me from advancing past that mocking LG logo.

I think it'll be fine if you have a version 3.1.1-0 but beyond that will result in a installation failure. The ROM supposedly only can be run with TWRP version being 3.1.1-0 or lower. If it was to be higher than 3.1.1-0 it might cause a problem.
But if you failed to install it at ver 3.1.1-0, then I suggest that you go for the lower version as I stated in my caution warning.

Questions & Concerns
So I have been flashing & testing some different custom roms on my SGH-I747 with TWRP. No problems using 3.2.3-0. I didn't know if you post here
just simply came out before 3.2.3-0? Are you saying anything less than 3.1.0-0 would be a problem? That newer TWRP like I am using would be ok?
Or is there some odd reason the newer TWRP 3.2.3-0 would wreck my phone if I tried to install this Remix Rom with it???
Update:
Its been a week or so and not getting any response I decided to not risk it. I found another option. But first where i'm coming from. Not happy with AT&T 4.4.2. I was running Cyanogenmod 13 which is 6.0.1....... But that Custom ROM is buggy with the LTE not automatically connecting. Having to toggle Airplane mode just to connect is unacceptable behavior. Plus not to mention the worry that If I upgrade to a higher level of Android like 7.1 --- I may not be able to downgrade back to 6 later if necessary.
So to get to the point I came across SlimOS 6.0.1 AND WOW! I have to say I'm very satisfied with the results.. It runs well on the S3. I made some changes though... Mainly I did not like its Slim Launcher nor am I a fan of Google's Launcher So I changed to Trebuchet Launcher 6.0.1.6 found on APKMirror.. Also had to turn off SlimRecents in the Settings/Interface section. Doing This plus a New Battery, a Nice Case & Screen Protector Has breathed New Life into a Handmedown free Samsung Galaxy S3 SHG-I747.
I Highly Recommend anyone trying to fix up a Galaxy S3 to Try the above mentioned setup Its Definitely a Workable Solution. Without any connection issues & seems to improve my Signal Strength!
Unfortunately, the reference to SlimOS 6.0.1 does not work. deleted.

Dear joseph15two. How can you enter the engineering menu on this device? I tried all the ways - I can not go. Can you find a solution to this problem? Respectfully ...
HUH?
So I Dont understand what reference to SlimOS 6.0.1 you are referring too... Deleting??? I am running Slim0S 6.0.1 on a Galaxy SIII ATT version phone right now and it works perfectly well. Exactly as I described in my post. Which doesn't appear to be deleted. And Much better than any other Custom Rom I've tried? So what exactly "reference to SlimOS 6.0.1 doesn't work" are you talking about?

I wrote that there is no possibility to download from the site - slimr.....s.org...device...d2att, because there is no link to download. and not that this build doesn't work on the phone. This is probably the cost of translation.
O'IC
Wow I had not been back to their site in a few months. Oddly since then, they have updated to show a ver 7 rom for the I747 also, but your right there seems to be no link to click on now to download them. Don't know why they would produce a build 7 recently and add it to their site list but break the links to download either of them... That is the page I downloaded it from originally. I may try to contact them & let them know, it could be an oversite.
I still have the SlimOS 6 rom if needed. But I don't see a way to upload it on xda…
Edit: The files I used to setup my phone including that rom are here till June 15th.

Thank you so much for the link to SlimOS 6. Download at once. And interestingly SlimOS 7 will it be possible to download? But this is after, I still have a problem with the phone battery. In my opinion the battery is dead. The phone does not even boot. Sometimes you can download the recovery and at a charge of 100% perform the download into the system. But in 99% of cases, the phone turns off and shows the battery with a circle inside on a black screen and only works vibro once and that's it. And further along the cycle. Nowhere did I find information about the charge controller - it is in the phone, or in the battery. I would be very grateful for the answer. Respectfully ....
Battery
Well in my experience its likely the battery. Problem is getting a genuine battery. as most are knockoff counterfeit labeled SAMSUNG. Don't be fooled by them they are not. There's a company in Canada I think, that claims to sell Real Genuine batteries for the SIII. I cant remember the name of the Co. though. But a little googling about fake vs genuine Samsung battery for SIII and you will find what I did. I now have a working battery/phone!
Update::
I Have been in contact w/ Jean-Pierre Rasquin with SlimOS.. He has found a developer(Android Andi) that has as recently as March 2019 been keeping v6.0 Updated! Security & Such... They are in the process of getting me the Mar19 edition of SlimOS 6 for D2ATT....
Jean has also stated there was never a version 7 in the works for SIII AT&T Model.

Hello!
And you can contact this Jean-Pierre Rasquin and ask how you can go to the engineering menu. It is necessary to include 3 bands on LTE. I would really appreciate it.
Well I've asked some Questions as of recent ~in the last couple weeks and haven't got a response so I doubt I will get one. Googling your 3 band thing I take it you are in Europe?
DLing now to try out. thank you for your time and this build @joseph15two

Believe me, you won't want to. The update has been pulled. It still has so many bugs. Biggest problem for me, I was curious that it, and updated, A12 currently has no local update option. Means roll back is not possible, only with the MSM tool. Then it starts all over with rooting again.

you can download and install this system update apk from oneplus and it gives you the options to rollback. But be aware rolling back will wipe your device.

You can you the apk on ColorOS to rollback also.

Which bugs are you facing?
Yup, and i've been using it for a month now.
I updated to A12 in Dec when the first OTA was pushed. I had too many issues even after the first 2 patches, downgraded back to OOS11 and never been happier.
I'm waiting for 10pro to launch so I can update to OOS12 then

I played around so much, that I don´t remember everything now. Some apps didn´t work. I think, but I´m not sure, I had problems with Viper4Android. Or it was Youtube vanced. Sorry, I really forgot.
Certain setting options had been missing for me or were no longer where you would have expected them to be. I also missed the local upgrade, but that problem has been solved in the meantime (I was not well informed). I was also not happy with the UI, but that is not a bug but a matter of taste.
In sum, not so dramatic, but my evaluation has coincided with those of other forum members. Does not mean that I am right. I'm happy to be corrected.
How is the general satisfaction with A12 here?
A few months back when they started pushing Android 12 I was eager to try it and so I used "Oxygen Updater" from the play store to download a full stable version of android 12 but i accidentally downloaded the Indian version. I had so many bugs on it, but then I used the same app (oxygen updater) to switch to the EU version and my phone worked perfectly with no bugs or anything. I have now switched to Pixel Experience rom and wifi is not working so I may go back to Oxygen 12. But yeah if you have bugs on Oxygen 12 then use Oxygen Updater and download a new version to flash and your bugs may vanish.
Enjoy
I was curious about A12 and gave it a second try after cleaning up everything.
Does Viper4Android work? Just trying with a fix but not sure if it will work.
The next thing is that file manger doesn´t appear in Magisk, when u want to install a module from internal storage.
At least Youtube Vanced is working now.
BTW, post above is ColorOS 12

Another question: how to us the "OnePlus 9/9Pro Rollback APK". It´s a zip file. Unpacking shows now apk file. Flashing through kernel manager of course not possible. Sorry, don´t find a way to install.
Second try of A12 was not satisfying. When I use the MSM Tool I´ve to re-root again....
Edit: renamed the file to apk at the end. Did it once without success, don´t know why. Now it works
Hope you figured it out. If you haven't.
- download appropriate downgrade package and move it to the root folder of your phone.
- download and install https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/OPLocalUpdate_For_Android12.apk
on your devices... this allows you to access local upgrade... if your phone doesn't install a shortcut you can keep reinstalling it every time you need it
- open OPLocalUpdate_For_Android_12.apk click gear in top left corner and install the downgrade package you put in the root directory
You can also use the local update to install other OxygenOS12/ColorOS12 packages. I just went from C.36(Global) -> C.38(EU) -> C.46(ColorOS12) then rolled back because MMS is broken at C.44 all variants of both OSs and above... at least for me.

Thanks, my problem was that I didn´t know that I have to rename the files. Many thanks!
Personally, I'm pretty satisfied with the C44 update for OxygenOS 12, stable and smooth, as intended. But yes, the first updates were messy.
For having given a try to ColorOS 12 too, OxygenOS 12 gave me a better experience on the OnePlus 9 Pro: less throttling in games and less bloated.
If we get a ColorsOS C44 EU (which should be far more debloated than its Chinese counterpart) that isn't making games throttle, then I'll surely jump into the wagon, but for now, OxygenOS 12 remains the better option if you want an Android 12 official experience for your phone.
