Help needed to upgrade firmware k012 - Asus Fonepad 7

Dear friends,
I need your expert help, please.
I am trying to resurrect a Fonepad 7 model K012 (SKU WW) so that my wife can use it as a spare tablet.
I have managed to soft-unbrick it and now it runs firmware version
JSS15Q.WW_fonepad_S-10.32.1.31.2-20140721
I am trying to upgrade its firmware to the latest available firmware for this model, which, for what I see in the Asus download page is
Version WW_12.8.1.38
2015/10/19
If I follow the official update procedure of downloading the firmware and saving it in the SD card, the notification pops up correctly about a fimware update file being available. However, when choosing to update the fw through the UL-K012-WW-12.8.1.38-user.zip file the tablet restarts in "Installing system update" but then every time it throws an error around 25% of the blue progress bar, with no further explanation apart from "System update failed, previous configuration restored" after rebooting.
If, instead, I use the cwm recovery to flash the same file UL-K012-WW-12.8.1.38-user.zip from external SD I get this error:
"Can not upgrade from JB , this is a "4.3"
Error in /external_sd/UL-K012-WW-12.8.1.38-user.zip
(Status 7).
The same errors are shown if I use an earlier version of the firmware...
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help.
Kind Regards,
Fabio

[Q] Help installing stock rom

Hi all, long time lurker here.
Just for some background, I used to have a HTC Desire & was successful in installing Cyanogenmod 7.
So to my problem.
I have a HTC One X with Software 1.29.751.12. Initially I rooted my phone to install Titanium Backup so I could remove the bloatware (Yes I deleted rather than Freeze)
I have system update 2.17.751.2 that keeps asking me to install. I can download the update fine, when I try to run it, the phone reboots, the bar gets a quarter of the way then I get the red triangle error & phone reboots again.
After some searching I think this is because I removed the installed apps that came with the phone, therefore I'm attempting to re-install a stock rom.
Initially I downloaded this: RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Optus_AU_1.29.980.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260560_signed.exe however when I ran it the installer errors & advises me to use the correct update.
Going by this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660807
I found out my CID & other info by using fastboot cmd "fastboot oem readCID"
HTC CID HTC__621 = TWM-TW
Version 4.0.3
Sense Version 4.0
Software 1.29.751.12
HTC SDK API 4.12
HTCExtention HTCExtention_403_1_GA_7
Kernal 2.6.39.4-gc9932b1
From this I gather I have to use a specific RUU so I downloaded the following:
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_TWM_TW_1.29.921.7_Radio_1.1204.104.14_release_259286_signed
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_TWM_TW_1.26.921.3_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251851_signed
When I run either of these files I get the same problem as when I was using the optus RUU:
Installer Runs
Verifies Information - Here it shows Image version 1.29.751.12 & I only get the option to Update
Click update to version <version number>
Phone reboots to bootloader (Here phone just displays HTC)
Software shows Sending.......
At this point I get the error 155:Unknown Error - Rom Update cannot update phone.
I do remember seeing somewhere on my phone the word "Chunghwa" I think this is when I received an error on my phone & this word was in the error report, so I tried downloading this RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Chunghwa_1.26.751.3_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251852_signed
However I can't even run this update as I get a windows error:
Error Code: -5001 : 0x80070002
Error Information:
>SetupNew\setup.cpp (142)
PAPP:
PVENDOR:
PGUID:
$
@Windows 7 / Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (7601)
IE Version: 9.0.8112.16421
At this point I kind of gave up with installing a stock RUU & tried installing a Cyanogenmod 10 nightly. I managed to get the clockwork recoverymod installed, I copy the cm nightly rom to my sd card & when I try to run it I get error status 7. I think this may because I'm not doing something with boot.img or clearing files????
Ultimatly I'd like to install a stock RUU as I like using Sense & I want the latest Sense update.
I'd like to think I know what I'm doing when it comes to ROM's but as you know a little information is dangerous! It could be I'm missing a basic step, or the phone has a hardware issue. I'm going to put it down to being a problem with me missing something.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
I would extract the recovery_signed.img and the boot_signed.img from the 751 ruu using winzip. You can do this by loading the ruu, typing %temp% in your search bar and looking for the most recent folder. It will not have a name but it will have a bunch or letters and numbers. Once you have extracted the .img files place them in your fastboot folder.
Close the ruu.
Put your phone into fastboot and connect it by usb. Type the following commands one at a time "fastboot erase cache", fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img" and "fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img"
You should get a ok or something simmilar after every command.
Leave the phone in fastboot and start the ruu.
If that does not work download the 2.17. Ruu and repeat the steps.
Hope it helps

So it seems I need version 1.29.751.12 exactly. Search last night & couldn't find it anywhere.
Could someone help me find the Chunghwa 1.29.751.12 RUU please?
It would seem that the 1.29.751.12 update isn't for download anywhere.
I guess this leaves me with two options. Attempt to get Cyanogen Mod install (Or other, its just I've used this one before)
Or, would it be possible to find out what are the stock apps installed on this RUU? I know that Chunghwa is Taiwanese for China & I did remove the apps with Chinese names.
If someone has this ROM & could provide links for the stock apps for me to download that would be awesome.
Or, if there is anyone that has a solution to install any stock ROM on my HTC One X it would be appreciated.
Using google play & searching through My Apps I've so far found that the following apps were installed when I had my phone:
Hami Apps 軟體商店
TL334WG
Hami Book
SPRING HOUSE ENTERTAINMENT INC.
HamiMusic
SPRING HOUSE ENTERTAINMENT INC.
ebuddy XMS
KKBOX Player Widget
HamiMusic
中華至尊股票機
三竹資訊
Just tried the OTA update to 2.17.751.2 & it still failed though, maybe I'm missing one?
found more apps that were installed as stock on 1.29.751.12
bubue Books Reader
bubue.com
IM+
Shape
Path
Path, Inc.
Update still failed... Searching for more solutions
I'm now using Cyanogenmod 10.
I would still like to go back to a stock RUU at some point so if anyone can help please let me know.
Well, my friend i am kind of stuck in the same situation i suppose.
i foolishly took no backup and installed a custom rom 1st of all... My 1st and biggest mistake.
Anyway, i am unable to install any of the sense based roms on my HTC ONE X, and after googling and reading through xda i found out that i have to have a exact version of stock rom and if i want custom sense based rom, it should also be baked/based upon stock ROM. which left me with no options, i install cm10 which i hate by the way. it sucks! has too many bug for me to use... i ended up flashing my HOX with MIUI Jellybean Version, which seems to be working good with me but has a few bugs here and there. still so much better than the CM10.
And eventually i want the HTC Sense back! custom or stock, whatever it can be....
so if im missing something here... can anyone help me out if RUU for HTC ONE X version 2.17.709.7 available anywhere ?
if there is pls share it with us!
Thanks!
I have finally found the 1.29.751.12 RUU for HTC__621
I've successfully installed it on my phone & I'm now back on stock, also the OTA updates are installing fine.
I've put this on my drop-box account for now, will try & get a more permanent link soon.

(Just a quick note, as of this post, its still uploading & as its 600Mb try again in a few hours)

Hi, I have also same CID number HTC__621. I just want to ask how did you return your m8 to stock? What tools did you used, is External Sd card needed? I really need to return my m8 to stock so that I can update my phone to OTA. How is it done?
Because I got a problem, when i was in the process of software update thru ota it got interrupted, as a result I lost access to my main camera. So I'm thinking that returning my m8 to stock and update my m8 to the latest OTA would solve my problem.
Thank you!
First thing to note is I had a HTC One X.
The process is simple, download the file on a Windows computer, connect the phone via usb run the exe.

[Q] ReApply Lollipop ROM on Unlocked S On M8

Hi,
I did a mistake by not S off my mobile prior to upgrade. However, I under stood from the response (http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one/help/sunshine-su-access-denied-t2845121/) that I'll have to wait till sunshine 3.0 come out.
Meanwhile, I've a long history of ROM/OS issues with this device. Now it got OTA update from 4.4.4 to Lollipop
Unfortunately, there seems to be missing files from my last system erasing
For example, the Exchange ActiveSync keep deciding on random basis not to sync, asking for the password (which is not changed) then it resolve the issue by itself. Another example is the camera, where I cannot enable video recording from inside the camera, I seem to be able to make from within messenger apps!!! :S
So, my question would be how can I reapply the Lollipop ROM again?
I've downloaded both, the exe file from HTC support site, and the zip file from RUU famos article on this forum.
The exe version says it will reboot to recovery but it never finish (stops on black screen with HTC gray logo)
The zip file installation through recovery failed, and through renaming it to 0P6BIMG.zip and put it on the SD root failed as well.
Any ideas?
Need to add, I've downloaded the file "RUU_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_4.16.1540.8_Radio_1.24.21331147A1.09G_20.68.4196.01_F_release_411207_signed_2.exe"
Now, when running this tool, it says the update will be:
From Image version: 4.16.401.10
To Image version: 4.16.1540.8
I'm not sure, but is this file for another model?
Read carefully here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
Read it well and it has all the answers to get back to stock backup and update again.
If you are s-on you can't flash any other ruu than the one that matches your phone.

[Q] Need some help to update

Hello,
if someone can help me a bit to upgrade my Zenfone 2 (Z008)

I restart on recovery mode, get the error robot and restart recovery mode again
I chose "apply update from ADB" . I see my device when I type : adb devices but when I do : sideload myfile.zip I have a problem 'error: protocol fault'
EDIT: Finnaly its worked for the sideload but now i got an error with /system/app/asusbrower/asusbrower.ap .. during the verification -.-"
maybe because i have deleted some useless system apps :/ ?
what should i do? thanks

Gx8 update RIO-L03567B160CUSTC567D002

A small update 136mb or so for the L03 devices, is there someone who can convert this update to a twrp friendly zip flash update? Would appreciate any help, thanks.
Do you still have this OTA file somewhere? If so can you setup a link to download it?
I think I have figured this one out

It seems like we are the only 3 people who seems to be working on this phone and this update.
So I have 2 developments:
First, I pulled the stock 136.3 mb "update.zip" file of this update and have uploaded to the following:
https://mega.nz/#!rppjnLSY!djq4xpEiiH-lLircX9DZDlIkWu0_OMSG0SYTyKaelMY
Second, I manage to successfully update to this version through trial and error by doing the following:
0. I flashed stock recovery back into my phone through Flashify and update. This didn't work.
1. I then tried updating by "unrooting" SuperSu after above step. This didn't work.
2. I followed up the above step #1 by "relocking" my bootloader through ADB. Relocking was a success but update failed. It downloads and then as it installs/reboots, once it reaches ~26%, it will say installation failed.
3. Finally, I performed a "Local Update" in the EMUI menu by dirty flashing stock RIO-L03_C567B141CUSTC567D002_Android 5.1_EMUI 3.1_United States over the version that is already on my phone by the "dload - update.app" method through my external SD card. (create folder "dload" in ext SD card and place "update.app" in the folder).
4. After completing step #3, I went back to "Settings - Updater" and tapped "Check for updates", followed the prompts and the phone successfully updated. Verified again that there are no further updates.
The phone now reads:
Build number RIO-L03C567B160
Android security patch level: April 1, 2016
Android version: 5.1
Baseband version: 20234
Custom Version: CUSTC567D002
I have T-Mobile and no issue with reception. I am going back to unlocking bootloader, root, and debloat the junkwares
I know there is a MM version (HUAWEI_G8_Firmware_RIO-L03_Android 6.0.1_EMUI 4.0_C469B330_Latin America_Channel-Others_Dual SIM). I am NOT going to flash this at this time. Also I don't like EMUI 4. I have Honor 5x also and after MM update, EMUI 4 removed the "Local update" option which takes away the ability to "sideload" updates via the "dload - update.app" method.

a solution for this is:
dial *#*#2846579#*#* with the phone app and you will get a service menu
(first picture) where you can select software upgrade and than
(second picture) load an update vom the dload-folder from your sd-card
THANK YOU!!!

On G8 I have also the option to go to settings -> update program -> hit the menu key (middle of bottom) -> Local update and now I can select from the updates that where found.
In my case even force update fails. My mobile tells RIO-L01C150B130CUSTAUTC150D004 (T-Mobile Austria) and it want's to OTA update right away to B331 of that version.
In many places I read that it is necessary to update in smaller junks (eg. B130-->B160 first or maybe even B130->B140->B160). Maybe noone told Huawei.
Not only OTA is failing. All dload attempts are failing, too. Even if bootloader is re-locked.
Btw. I can provide G8 OTA update file for RIO-L01C150B331CUSTAUTC150D004 (Marshmallow T-Mobile Austria) if someone needs. I could not manage to create some images out of it, yet. I didn't try hard, though .
On my phone cust- and modem partitions are not accessible with fastboot. I assume they are mounted as read only to prevent removal of branding (I unlocked the bootloader before I tried).
I'll have a look if I can access the cust / modem partitions with TWRP today. I would like to go from C150 to C432.
There are some things that I don't understand yet.
1) I can wipe all partitions with TWRP that ist finds (including cust partition). I'm not sure if it has any effect. I can select remove data in TWRP. In any case it seems cust and modem partition content stays completely untouched. -> I have not found a way to make a complete wipe aka a super clean install.
2) I flash boot.img, recovery.img and system.img from B160 but the mobile keeps telling it has B130. Beside that, the phone runs fine.

Shouldn't be, at least not from that, not completely.
Was this the first condition, or an added problem?
I think best thing to try is the service ROM.
This one is BND-L21C432..
Service rom BND-L21C432
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11050483647474828964
1. Unzip download
2. copy the dload folder to root of sdcard
3. power on phone holding all three buttons
4. After phone finishes and reboots, unlock frp and bootloader, if needed
5. Use Huru or HWOTA to flash correct firmware for your model/ region.. If this is not the correct version for your honor 7x
Now with dc phoenix i have restore the fastboot and the erecovery, i can flash all i want but nothing happens, just boot loop at "your phone is not trusted" screen.
I was on catuva's rom before brick and now i have the catuva splashboot screen even after full firmware retore by dc phoenix.
When i try to flash in twrp i see lot of errors related to partition table (invalid argument cust, odm, sytsem etc) it seems the partition table have a problem..
The DLOAD can restore this ?
When i try to restore via dload it stuck at 5% and it says "software install failed!" ..
Someone Help me ?..

Says in the install guide for it, you must be running at newest security patch in order to install elemental.
Please focus on one thing. Getting phone to boot full stock first before trying other rom. You are going to hard brck your phon if you keep doing flashes when the stock fails to install

I am not understanding how you say you follow my guide, then post the error.
This error shows you are trying to install ota update with TWRP.
My guide sets you to install ota update file with a modified stock recovery (no-check).
If you are having trouble because of bad translation, please do not assume what you need to do and wait for proper help and translation
