This post (#377 on page 38) was originally written under thread "Root Now Available For ASUS MemoPad FHD 10 Model ME302C" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51699593) however OP has not been able to update the original post and this has caused much confusion. Its difficult to read through 40+ pages of posts with new modifications to the originally posted root procedure. I am posting the latest instructions in a new thread.

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)

Beware
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

Edit: I jumped in and used the procedure described in "For those of you who are not rooted "(or the second method of the first 2). It worked. My memopad is now rooted and appears to be operating fine. Thank you to the author of this post.

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:

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?
First of all, I don't want to do anything harmful to my device, so how do I fully unroot my phone? I want to upgrade to lollipop and then root using King Root.

I had to do the same last night. I used Sony PC companion to restore back to factory default after backing up all my data. Once the restore function finished, I allowed the OTA to go through. Once the OTA went through, I completed a factory restore via the bootloader screen (Call me overkill but i like a clean slate to work on). Before adding any apps or even my google account I used Kingroot to root the device with no issues. I do have one problem though, I cant seem to get SuperSU to install after using Kingroot, other than that, root was obtained and i started removing bloat and crap apps. Now... all i need is some help figuring out how to remove Kingroot and KingSu and apply SuperSu.

I think the same thing. I just happen to be at work and dont have adb access on my workstation. Im going to have to play around with this once i get home today.
Here's the process I used to unroot my D6616 and install the new firmware (sorry, no links because I'm a new user):
--- MAKE SURE TO BACK UP YOUR FILES BEFORE YOU START THIS PROCESS ---
1. (Windows 8, 8.1, or 10 only) Disable driver signature enforcement (google it).
2. Download the latest Flashtool from the flashtool (dot) net website. (Magnet link guarantees quickest download). Just like with most root tools, you may need to temporarily disable antivirus. This is due to the fact that "rooting" is accomplished by exploiting a weakness in your phone with a specially crafted virus.
3. Install Flashtool.
4. Run C:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe and install the following drivers (if on Windows 8+, say yes to all prompts asking to install unsigned drivers):
- Flashmode Drivers
- Fastboot Drivers
- Xperia Z3 Device Driver (near bottom of list)
5. Go to the start menu and run "Flashtool" (or Flashtool 64 if you're on a 64-bit system).
6. Click the "XP" button in the toolbar and download the newest D6616 firmware (Xperia Z3 > D6616 > 23.1.C.0.385 / R15C > Download)
7. Connect your phone to the computer with a USB cable. Make sure it's in "Charge only" mode.
8. Click the "Flash" button in the Flashtool toolbar, select "Flashmode", select the D6616 firmware in the list, leave all other settings unchanged, and click "Flash"
9. Flashtool will start the process. It may ask you to unplug, power down, then replug (don't worry about the back button). The process should take about 5-10 minutes. Be patient.
10. DONE!!!

Nice! Thanks for the detailed instructions!

on the latest stock official firm from verizon which could be found anywhere. With the unlocked phones being released in the U.S you can finally root the latest official firmware version G935VVRS2APF2.
Using Argyrus Rooting Guide also credited to dajmanjt for your edit of his guide
referencing to dajmanjt Guide on Rooting get links from his post
- Folder named "SuperSU-v2.76-S7QC" contains the SuperSU and thing needed to root the phone
- ADB Setup EXE called "adb-setup-1.4.3.exe", needed to install ADB and the Drivers
- Special patched Odin that skips the SHA 225 called Odin PrinceComsy.exe (Mainly for AT&T) including an .ini file named "Odin3.ini"
- file named "Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR", this is the engBoot for the phone that will allow rooting
NOTE: Some users have experienced endless boot loop; this seems to be caused by using a package disabler that disabled certain services. If you used one and end up getting an endless boot loop try wiping the cache and factory reset the phone.
1. Install ADB by running adb-setup-1.4.3.exe (select YES to all options, especially system wide ADB)
2. Make sure to put your phone into downloading mode (Power off--- Hold Down arrow + Home + Power button)
3. Open up Odin and click AP and mount Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR, then flash it
4. Once restarted put the phone into USB debugging mode, if it is not already enabled (need Developer options for this)
4b. To get developer mode, go to "About" then tap "build number" about 6 or 7 times
4c. Go back to settings and you should now see developer options, turn on USB debugging
5. Now back on your PC, double click on the file called "root.bat" (it should be in the main folder with ALL the other files, aka no subfolders)
6. Wait for the CMD to finish and then your phone should restart
7. Once your phone has finally restarted you will notice that SuperSU was installed and root should be working, download root checker to find out for yourself.
Tested and working on my S7 Edge running perfectly on G935VVZW2APF2 firmware and rooted with the full functionality of the phone.
Enjoy
Is this thread necessary considering it already appears?

So it's the same exact current method.
So you basically just copied the current method from the older post and applied it to the PF2 firmware. My mind is blown.
Won't be impressed til I can root on MacBook ????????
Thread and info already exists here http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/verizon-root-knox-t3410624 @kenshin6105 Please do not copy/paste someone else's work as per rule 12.

Notes:
Before you get started, you will need access to Developer options. Got to About phone on Settings and click on your Build number till you get a notification stating that you've gained access to this options.
After that, enable both OEM unlocking and USB debugging to unlock the bootloader and gain permission to transfer downloaded files from your PC to your phone via the charging cable.
If your software firmware is 6.0.1-01003, don't update your system to be safe since that I haven't tested installing TWRP on a updated firmware.
Tutorial:
To get started, you will need to download this .img file which contains a flashable TWRP 3.0.2-0 that is unofficially supported for the Alcatel Pop 4 and import it to your device.
https-://uplo.adfi.l.es.io/x.9h.18
In order to flash the TWRP .img image, you will need to gain access to temporary root and in order to do that, you'll need to install KingRoot. To install it, enable Unknown sources if disabled then visit the site below to download and install it.
https-://kingroot.net/
You should see something like this.

Download SuperSU's Latest .ZIP file below (Should be V2.82 as of 21/08/17)
s.upersu.com/download
Its normal if your phone reboots during the process. Just make sure that you quickly unlock your phone and return to KingRoot to continue the process after your device has rebooted.
After you have successfully rooted your phone, you will need to install Flashify in order to flash the TWRP image I provided you with. The link to install Flashify is below.
https-://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
Since that the temporary root that came with KingRoot is very unstable with the Pop 4, be very gentle navigating through the phone for the time being or your device may reboot and you will need to reroot with KingRoot again.
Open the Flashify app, grant root permissions, go to Recovery image then click on choose a file. After that find the downloaded TWRP that I provided you with, click and it and select YUM! (Meaning yes) to flash TWRP. After it has flashed TWRP, it should give you the option to reboot into TWRP.
Once your booted into TWRP, swipe right to gain access to read and write privileges and make sure you check the box above so you don't have to do that again.
Click Wipe, Format Data then enter "yes" without the quotations of course then press the blue button on the bottom right of the on screen keyboard to format the device.
After the device is formatted go back instead of rebooting, press the on screen back button then install and find the SuperSU .ZIP you've downloaded then swipe right to flash. After flashed, clear cache then reboot.
After it has rebooted, set up the device as if it was new then after set up you should see that you've got SuperSU in your app list.
To access TWRP in the future, hold power button and up volume button till TWRP boot screen loads up.
I will upload a test video showing me using my rooted Pop 4 soon.
I have edited the links so they wouldn't be detected by xda since i'm not allowed to post any links as of right now since i'm using a new account.

MOD ACTION:
Thread closed at the request of the OP.
I am on ww 229. when i check for update it tells me your system is up to date. Do I need to do this manually or will it eventually show up. Also how is android 12 on this phone. Any bugs? any performance improvements?
A12 is pretty good.
also you could've just googled how to manually ota update asus phones. they works more less the same:
1. download the update pkg to the phone.
2. move it to the root of the storage (i.e. the first page you open when you tap internal storage in fm.
3. charge your device to at least 60% and up.
4. reboot the phone.
5. after a while it should give a popup saying update found, tap on it and start local ota.
some notes:
if you want to keep magisk then DONT reboot after ota finished. go to magisk manager and select install to inactive slot. then you can reboot.
This only works for updates not downgrade. if you flashed 31.xxxxx (A12) then you cant go back to 18.xxxx (A11), it won't give you the prompt.
