If you used the update from the ASUS website then root keeper wouldn't help that version will wipe out root regardless. The only way you can get root back that I know of is to downgrade to ICS using info in the link below then you should be able update using OTA.

if I do this will Vodoo work?
Alternative Firmware update Method
1. Decompress downloaded .zip file (it will be another .zip)
2. Rename it to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip
3. Format FAT32 the MicroSD card that you will be using for the update process
4. Copy the file to (the root directory of) your MicroSD
5. Insert it into the tablet
6. Shutdown (power off) the tablet
7. Power it on by pressing and holding VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons simultaneously
8. When you see white text in the top left corner of the screen, release the buttons ^^ and press VOLUME UP button until you see Android logo and process bar
9. Wait patiently for 10 minutes or so
10. Enjoy!

NO, if you want to keep root, you have to use incremental update file, your method is using full package file and it will wipe everything in your device including your root and OTA root backup.

You can use this instruction to perform incremental update to save root when upgrade to JB.
1. Download dlpkgfile.bin (US version)
http://www.mediafire.com/?2ctnjai5b68c7im
2. Rename dlpkgfile.bin to dlpkgfile (no extension) then copy the dlpkgfile to /cache then set permissions to rw-r-r.
3. Download command file:
http://www.mediafire.com/?yq1bt16mnm7tc8d
4. Unzip and copy the "command" file to /cache/recovery, then set the file's permissions to rw-r-r.
5. Temp-unroot if you want to keep your root with OTA Root Keeper.
If you prefer SuperSU app(recommended) instead of default superuser app, you can download Supersu, installed it and launch the app.
Also download "root checker" to verify if you indeed have root.
6. Power off.
7. Reboot holding power on and volume down, when you see white text message on the screen release both buttons
8. Press volume up to confirm recovery mode.
9. Update will install and upgrade your device.
10. Once done, use OTA root keeper to restore root.

Hey whiz kids,
I upgraded to a new NIghtly cm-10.1 for my tf300t through the custom roms app. Problem is I didn't have a upgraded bootloader, it could be as old as honeycomb I don't know. Whats happening now is a the first Asus screen loads up and its just frozen there permanently until the device dies. I can get into RCK and Fastboot. Apparently I don't have a backup either. What are my options?

Whoops, sneezed and clicked the Thanks button. Oh well... you have my thanks.
Load a stock ROM on you microSD (available on ASUS' support website), and flash it from recovery. This should update your bootloader in addition to flashing a bootable ROM. Then, reflash CM's nightly.
It might be better to ask in the 300T section in case there's any slight idiosyncrasy's that differ from the TF700T.
Marty is right though you should be able to flash back to ICS and start over with an unlocked bootloader.
Appreciate the comments back..thanks. I tried the suggested idea, however, the microsd card inserted on the side of the tablet doesnt have an option in recovery to open up and view the files. The only option I have is to look through the internal usb storage drive, since I cant connect the tab to my computer in an way I tried so far, I cant get an old rom into the internal drive.?? Its just frozen on the asus bootloader screen and wont even turn off lol.

Hold down the power button long enough will enventually turn off the device. Make sure it off first then boot into recovery and see if you can access your sdcard. If not working hookup usb cable between pc and your device, boot into recovery (home page), then open adb on your pc and make sure the rom file is in the same directory of your adb command, on your pc run this command to copy file to your internal memory:
adb push c:\folder_where_adb_and rom_zipfile\rom.zip /sdcard
OK..I sent the file using adb push it took like 90secs and it confirmed the asus jellybean firmware (10.4.2.16) file at 100mb. Only problem is is that its not showing up in the sdcard. There are just a bunch of folders with no new .zip files.?? I dont understand why the file wouldn't show up after it says it sent it.
Which custom recovery are you using? Sounds like you need to re-do it from a PC when in fastboot mode ( choose USB icon in boot loader ). Make sure you use the latest TWRP or CWM as they both read the card fine.

Shamelessly ripped from Pretoriano80's excellent summary thread from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833212
I copied it here because I wanted to point out the rename step that's needed if you're on stock recovery somehow. I too am curious as to what recovery is active on your system...
*** Factory Restore after a softbrick/Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore ***
When You Need This?
* if you get stuck on Asus boot screen (the one with the spinning wheel)
* If you don't like JB and you want ICS back
* if you want to get back to a clean stock firmware
Note: You need to have a working recovery (stock or custom) in order to use this method.
========= Recover /Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore with stock recovery =========
1) Download the latest firmware from Asus site (based os your SKU,eg. ww 9.4.5.26 * to downgrade from Jelly Bean you need the 9.4.5.30 firmware)
2) Extract the .zip file somewere on your desktop (the result will be another .zip file,use it for step 3)
3) Rename the extracted archive to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.ZIP" (without the " ") and upload it to a MicroSD card
4) Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet and use this button combination to Power ON and go to recovery --> Start the tablet by pressing Volume Down and POWER togheter for 5 seconds ,a message will inform you that you have 5 seconds to enter the recovery,press Volume UP before the 5 seconds expire.
At this point the device will go in recovery and should start updating your firmware .
Note: Keep in mind that Windows doesn't show the known file extensions so most users don't have to put the .ZIP extension in the filename.
========= Recover /Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore with custom recovery =========
1) Download the latest firmware from Asus site (based os your SKU,eg. ww 9.4.5.26 * to downgrade from Jelly Bean you need the 9.4.5.30 firmware)
2) Extract the .zip file somewere on your desktop
3)Rename the file to something like "recover.zip" uploade it to the root of your MicroSD card
4) Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet and use this button combination to Power ON and go to recovery --> Start the tablet by pressing Volume Down and POWER togheter for 5 seconds ,a message will inform you that you have 5 seconds to enter the recovery,press Volume UP before the 5 seconds expire
5) From the recovery menu press Install and select the "recover.zip" file ...wait until the install process ends and then restart your device.
Note: Keep in mind that Windows doesn't show the known file extensions so most users don't have to put the .zip extension in the filename.
AFTER ROOTING & OTA UPDATES
DOWNLOAD [ROOT CHECKER]
To make sure you have root access
Most of the time rooting your phone simply adds a couple files without changing any others, and an OTA will flash over just fine.
OTA updates first check to see that the partitions are holding the boot image and the recovery image are unmodified,
if you haven't frozen, replaced or removed a file inside the system that its looking for, then you should be able to accept the update.
DOWNLOAD [OTA RootKeeper]
To save superuser access
Any time you run a system update, you run the risk of loosing root. But you can save your superuser access with OTA Rootkeeper.
One's we get a custom Rom up and running for this device, I recommend using it (no custom ROM's for the Spectrum 2 as of yet).
With a custom Rom, you will get more updates and development then you would with the stock OTA update.
HOW TO USE LG UPDATE TOOL:
1. Backup your phone >How To Guide
2. Download and install the LG Update Tool
3. Launch the Update Tools application
4. Install USB Drivers
5. Make sure that the "PC Software" mode" enabled (Settings/Memory Management/USB storage)
6. Charge your phone battery to full
7. Plug in your phone via usb cable
8. Press "Launch software update", the update process might take as much as 30 minutes.
9. Reboot and enjoy.

This guide and below links are for USA build only (Goto Settings -> About Phone -> Build Number). WW build needs WW 5016 update and WW 5017 root update files but, indeed, uses the same procedures. DO NOT interchange USA for WW files otherwise you will BRICK. Links for WW 5017 root can be found on previous forum posts. ASUS hosts the WW 5016 update on its support page http://www.service.asus.com/#!downloads/c1wax
AS ALWAYS, BACKUP YOUR DATA! Titanium backup is a good option. Make sure backup files are copied to your PC or external storage
MAKE SURE THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED!
Tools Needed:
USA Asus 5016 update - http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/ME302C/US_ME302C-V5_0_16-0-ota-user.zip
USA 5017 root update - https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-6nm7Jks0W5eWxSM0JoZ2FPVGc
For those of you who are already root and would like to update to 5016 it is recommended to download the latest 5016 update (~700mb) directly from Asus website. Please do not do an OTA update as this may fail since you are already root. Make sure that SuperSU survival mode is OFF. Place US_ME302C-V5.0.16-0-ota-user.zip in the internal Storage via Windows Explorer. Make sure it has the exact file name US_ME302C-V5.0.16-0-ota-user.zip. Disconnect USB and then it will detect the update (a yellow triangle). Apply the update and it will reboot the tablet. Then copy 5017 root update US_ME302C-V5.0.17-0-ota-user.zip in the internal Storage via Windows Explorer. Disconnect USB and then it will detect the update (a yellow triangle). Apply the update and it will reboot the tablet. You will then be root. Make sure you install SuperSU by Chainfire from Play Store. For BusyBox use BusyBox X by Robert Nediyakalaparambil as it is x86 compatible.
For those of you who are not rooted the easiest method is to accept the OTA update to 5016. (Alternatively, place US_ME302C-V5.0.16-0-ota-user.zip in the internal Storage via Windows Explorer. Make sure it has the exact file name US_ME302C-V5.0.16-0-ota-user.zip. Disconnect USB and then it will detect the update (a yellow triangle). Apply the update and it will reboot the tablet). Then copy 5017 root update US_ME302C-V5.0.17-0-ota-user.zip in the internal Storage via Windows Explorer. Disconnect USB and then it will detect the update (a yellow triangle). Apply the update and it will reboot the tablet. You will then be root. Make sure you install SuperSU by Chainfire from Play Store. For BusyBox use BusyBox X by Robert Nediyakalaparambil as it is x86 compatible.

1) Install AdsFree from http://adfree.bigtincan.com
2) Review the German forum (link at top) for apps that can be safely frozen or uninstalled via Titanium Backup
Please note avoid OTA updates after root is obtained otherwise you will loose root or maybe worse. Keep up to date with developments on this thread for rooting methods when and if Asus release new updates. @perpe recommends all future updates be installed via the internal storage method.

Step by Step Guide for root via Fastboot Method for US version 4.7.3 or below: (read above instructions first as it is much easier to update and root using alternative methods)
Please note that tablet with versions higher than 4.7.3 no longer have the ability to use the fastboot method as this has been disabled by Asus in the latest versions. Some members have suggested downgrading fastboot to 4.7.3 if you have a later version. However this is not recommended and could result in problems. Fastboot downgrade should only be a last resort and limited to advanced users:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
(fastboot.img can be found inside the 4.7.3 release on the ASUS website. You can extract fastboot.img from the ~700mb update using 7 zip. Or download USA build here: http://support.mediafire.com/download/dk487lcxqfsgau6/fastboot473.zip )

One little note:
fastboot flash update <name-of-the.zip> only works with the 4.2.2 fastboot. On 4.3 it only works with small zips, like the fake update.zip for root.
The easiest way to update is to place the update zip on to the internal storage and select the triangle from the notification bar to start the update process. (it's the same way like with the root zip)

Hey Guys, after I applied these "updates" and checked root (positive) I installed the Xposedframework , when I rebooted my Memo , it does not get much further then the ASUS logo and never-ending busy circle. I will attempt a factory reset, and let you all know.
Just posting this message to make sure you have your backup done as mentioned in the first post. It could be painful otherwise!
Hi
can u help me root asus zenfone 5 ?
or tell me how to make a update ota zip flashable to flashed on stock recovery..
thx for reply me...
Hi all. Thanks for the great post. This forum helps a lot who would other wise be lost.
I am a bit confused about the methods posted in the opening post. The first method explains DL the files and install from internal storage which seems simple enough. But then I scrolled down to see the second method via fastboot.
I would prefer to use the first method as it appears simple as I have said. But unsure which I should use.
Also how can I backup without root access?
Thanks for your help

Try plugging it into a computer or rebooting.
Would installing the latest version of the firmware get rid of the root access? V5.0.19 is the latest, from the end of May. http://usterki.hobby-elektronika.eu/biazet.html

Yes and you risk to get big trouble if SuperSU survival mode is active. For save updating you have to remove root first.

I just wanted to say:
I got the Memo Pad FHD 10: It lagged in slowness a bit in a few well known apps. Also when browsing the internet. Also the kicker for knowing I had to 'Root' was certain apps use the 'System font' for Chinese-Pinyin display. Asus-Memo Factory-font does not display accented characters well. But the standard setting do not allow adjustment to the System-font.
Your Easy instructions under: 'For those who are not rooted'... Were simple. I downloaded the two files... 5.0.16 (Although: Note I needed to rename, the 5.016, to exactly match what you said. The filename was slightly different.)
I was a little scared, even though I had already upgraded the firmware of my Tablet to 51.31, but another poster had that number as well, so I decided to boldly press-on.
Then I put the 5.017 and boom... and installed the SuperSU file as instructed... and a way I went! Thanx! Thankx! :good: I put on HiFonts and found a font that was suitable for the system. The pad is also now so much snappier!!! I hope that doesn't mean the battery is now going to drain at an alarming rate. I haven't tested that yet. :
GPS Working 5017

Is anyone else having an issue with the GPS on the device on 5016 rooted with the 5017 using the 'intrepid' link above. A favorite app we use: 'Copilot', does not get past "determining position". I'm speaking of when the device does not have an internet connection.
The app I speak about is designed to work without only the GPS available. But since I'm on an odd build, instead of checking with the problems on those ends. I figured, I worry first about the build itself.
I know this may be quite an old thread, but I've stupidly updated my fathers tablet to 5.0.21, and in the process lost root. Is there any trouble with following this method to get back to 5.0.17 and rooting the tablet? After updating I saw no difference, and thus no need to lose root access.
http://www.gory.pun.pl/viewforum.php?id=5
Is there an alternative to getting root? I've tried towel root and framaroot but neither of these worked.
To this day this tablet has treated me well...Is there any kitkat roms floating around the web for this tablet?

What works depends on what you were doing before this issue appeared.
If you can read German, you can check:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/a...k-asus-memo-pad-fhd-10-ab-android-4-3.528918/
I'd recommend trying the RAW update.
Ok now I have the same problem with everyone having this tablet. Many of the apps have been upgraded in the world, but no longer support Android 4.3 anymore. We need at least 5.0 to work. And I can find no custom-roms. At first search I thought one was available, but then found it was not for the ME302C. The 'C' version is the intel chip. We need a wizard to create a rom.

How did you get the bootloader unlocked to be able to install a custom recovery and then a ROM to begin with? I chatted with Asus support just now and they said that for the ME302C they never made an unlock tool which I don't believe. I have an ME301T and they made the tool for it and I was able to unlock the bootloader, root and custom ROM. I was going to root my friend's ME302C but without being able to unlock the bootloader to install a custom ROM I don't see the point. Thanks in advance!
Asus ME302KL will this be the same process?

Flashing Back From KitKat
I have seen people who want to know how to roll back to 5.2.5 because they are facing some issues in current build. ASUS might release a much stable build but for now you may have to roll back in order to resolve these issues. So follow this tutorial in order to roll back to 5.2.5
For this you will need
1. 5.2.2 Stock Raw Image which can be found here
2. Partial Update from 5.2.2 to 5.2.5 which can be found here
So lets start
1. Download and copy ME372CG_all_WW_user_V5.2.2.raw file to your external SD card
2. Turn Off your FonePad 7 and start Droid Boot (press and hold Volume up button and Power Button)
3. Select SD Download
4. Now your FonePad 7 will reboot and start flashing Build 5.2.2
5. After that when you are done refer to @MEHRDAD595 Rooting Thread here
6. After Rooting Download Partial Update file and rename it to dlpkgfile (make sure there is no extension)
7. Using Root Browser copy this file to /cache and make a new file in /cache/recovery named "command" (no quotes) edit it using text editor and enter following
Code:
--update_package=/cache/dlpkgfile
8. After that connect your FonePad 7 to your computer in USB Debugging Mode.
9. Using open.cmd (yes the one you used while rooting) enter following command
Code:
adb reboot recovery
10. Now your FonePad 7 will reboot and start updating. Once this is complete you will get Build 5.2.5.
Enjoy
*Note: There is no other way to roll back without root (There is might be a way but I need tester)

As of this morning, my ME372CG gives the "Server is busy" response. So, my guess is .. update server is being spammed with update requests.
As I'm still rocking Android 4.3 ... could you give me a brief summary as to how to intercept the update and save the file instead of updating immediately?
Of course with the sole intention of posting the update-file here on XDA.

I have updated ota update link right in first post check out
Massive thanks ..
To Arun & Mehrdad595 .. been following several threads for months in the hopes of KitKat updates (or root) for my ME372CG.
If it wasn't for you 2 I almost gave up and was ready to look for another device. Sadly, Asus has never been terribly clear as to what devices they plan on updating. Which is a shame.
Me, as a Dutch user, I finally got my message saying there's an update. So Holland's in the clear. Giving it a go as we speak.
EDIT/ UPDATE
I updated my Dutch Fonepad 7 to Android 4.4.2 Kitkat.
It seems it is working wonders .. except for Ziggo TV. It's a Dutch app for viewing online TV made for Ziggo and is only usable when Ziggo is your cable TV & ISP company. Ziggo TV does NOT seem to be working. Tried the lot, re-install, re-boot, different usernames .. looking into it as we speak, it just seems fair to give a shoutout to Dutch people who are up for KitKat. Update at your own risk.
