I'm NOT responsible if you bork your tablet because you can't follow simple instructions!
FAQ:
1) You will have to relock your bootloader after you restore. Tablet in fastboot and connected to pc open up command prompt in the folder where these files reside and type: "fastboot oem lock".
2) You will be unrooted after this procedure
3) Your bootloader must be unlocked before using this utility.
If you can't handle these simple instructions, pickup one of these.

bootloader will not be locked when using this process. but it is easy to lock the bootloader
in fastboot, type this in the command prompt:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Is this a windows only command or can I run this on a Mac? I have ADB and Fastboot running on the mac which is how I installed TWRP and rooted.
Thanks

Then technically you can't say the device is restored to "when it was first turn on". I think fresh devices all have the bootloader locked.
You guys are worrying way too much about the bootloader. Its a nexus. It takes one simple command in fastboot to unlock it. Again, it's a nexus. Its meant to be easy to unlock so developers can mess with it.
This isn't some HTC or Samsung on Verizon.
Bootloader is not an issue.

Hi,
is ist possible to root the new android asus memo pad 10 fhd with intel z2560 soc (x86) and android 4.2.2?
There are no recovery images avaliable yet.Even source code.
But id like to get root for it.
Does somone know how ?
So please report it!
There are so many german people how like to root it.
Please help
Big thanks
Bye
I searched for several hours and tried numerous different rootkits, but none of them worked.
There seems to be someone providing a method for Memo Pad 7 HD, but I didn't want to try it out of fear that it would semi-brick my device (particularly the bootloader).
I love the device though. Only problem is that the screen is too reflective.
My friend,
have a look at my post inside german forum!
I rooted the memo pad successfully
http://www.android-hilfe.de/asus-me...5825-howto-root-fuer-das-memo-pad-10-fhd.html
In some days i will translate it to english
Nice flash.
Hi there. I'd like to ask how is the translation going? I tried to read the whole procedure in German with Google translator, and couldn't get anything clear enough to try to do it...
Oh, and no pressure meant!
Thank you very much in advance!!
1.Download the two links in the post (system.img.gz and superuser.apk)
Put system.img.gz and superuser.apk in the same folder as adb.exe.
2. Put the tablet into bootloader mode (Power+Vol Up)
3. Run these commands in command prompt with administrator priviledges:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system system.img.gz
5. Reboot and again run in command prompt
adb install Superuser.apk

Hi, my friend
Anyone can provide more detail of the root process?
Many thanks!!!!!
Thank you very much, Matt, for the info. I think I'd better wait a little bit longer to gain root access, not really needing root right now..
Alright, I have to confess I am not sure I could get it rooted with that method, still a newbie! xD. I will wait for a easier one-click root.
Thank you very much though!

I just rooted using the commands above, only difference is i used the latest system_4_6_2_root.img file since i've upgraded my pad to 4.6.2.
Im root again!! Thanks guys
O. T. Theoretically this device can even run windows 8, can't it?
Back in thread. I think it's even easier than what described above:
1) Make sure that your device is updated with the last firmware 4.6.2, check the OTA updates on your tablet.
2) If you don't have it already installed, download and install fastboot here.
3) Download and install Intel USB drivers from here.
4) Download the rooted system image from here and move in the directory where you have fastboot installed (see point 2).
5) Reboot you tablet in download mode by pressing Power + vol up.
6) Launch a command window and type fastboot flash system system_4_6_2_root.img.gz
Voila, your device is rooted, you just need to download from the market the SuperSU app.
I didn't lose any setting / application.

I don't know if it is that easy. I think the bootloader should somehow support the Windows boot, even if we had the Windows 8 installation media.
These just came out in the US and mine should be here tomorrow. Excited to get her rooted! Hope we get a thread/some development!
Got my memo pad fhd 10! I personally think it's pretty amazing. Stock launcher is lacking but with nova is a LOT better. Still need to root as I would like to freeze some of the junk. It's very snappy and the screen looks great. Extremely happy with the purchase but would love to see some devs jump on it.
Also, just did some browser hopping. Boat browser is complete butter on this. Glassy smooth and quick, much better than chrome.

Hi,
i will create a new one.
Because 4.7 is just release
bye
If I use Pro SuperSu I update without losing root?
My mistake, it works
I finally understood that 4.6.2 refers to the build number and not to the Android version.
Therefore I could go through all of the process and the device is rooted now.
thanks a lot, your process is very easy

On asus site they say that the firmware u download from there cant be used to downgrade... really hope thats wrong since the latest firmware on their site is 4.6.2 and i've got 4.7.0 which i got through OTA
i have a nexus 5, i still haven't received the update to 4.4.1 never mind 4.4.2 that everyone is getting, even guys on n7 2012? :S
anyone know why this is???

Hi!! I have the same problem and my nexus 5 is stock!! It says waiting to download 54Mb via wifi, and i am using wifi but it doea not start the download!!
How to apply the 4.4.2 OTA update for your Nexus 5 on Windows
SEEMS COMPLICATED. IS VERY SIMPLE AND EASY.
Download platform tools (ADB & fastboot) if you don't have it already. Extract it to a folder of your choice.
Download this file if you are on 4.4. Download this file if you are on 4.4.1. Put either file into the same folder as the platform tools. For simplicity, rename the file to "update.zip".
Plug your phone into your PC.
Enable USB debugging in developer options (tap build number several times if you are not already a developer)
Open the folder with your files. Hold shift and right click. Click on "Open command window here".
In Command Window type - Do not close the command window after this.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
When in recovery, press volume UP to display menus.
Select "apply update from ADB" using vol DOWN and press power to select.
In Command Window type:
Code:
adb sideload update.zip
Wait.

it's on a roll out shedule. it can take 2 weeks. you can side load it with adb though the 4.4.1 reocovery mode doesn't seem to comunicate with adb for me anymore... it could be that i'm using 64bit linux so others might not have the same build of adb in their sdk....

Now, all I can load is TWRP. No ROM to be found - obviously. Computer won't recognize the phone to load a ROM that way. Would be VERY appreciative of any help. TY!S
you can use the 'adb push' command in recovery to transfer a rom zip to the phone via your computer

Install adb drivers on your computer then go to TWRP recovery with your phone connected to your computer. Type 'adb devices', to check if your phone is detected, it should display your phone's serial number. Then you can 'adb push file' to transfer the cm/gapps zips from your computer to phone's internal sdcard.
So you have no idea how to use ADB? You're in for a real long night. -__-

RoyJ,
Appreciate the help. TY, all's good.
Happened to me a few times tinkering with the gnex, n4...boneheadedly wiped the internal storage. Easiest fix in my opinion is to just flash factory stock and start back from stretch. If not like they said you're in for a long night trying to get your phone to sync up to push the files via adb if you aren't familiar with the stuff.
Do wish you the best. Been there.
I have not been in that situation but couldn't you use a OTG cable (a Y type one which accepts power as well) and a SD card or stick and then mount it within TWRP to access a ROM to flash...?
EDIT: Also consider the Nexus Toolkit - very useful.
I really think that the faster way is to flash stock firmware back (if you have no experience with ADB commands).
Don't be so scared of adb. Its hard if you don't know Linux but adb is really really copy and paste for first time use. (That's how I learned anyways) You learn it once and it stays current and useful.

I unfortunately cannot pass the 'unwanted things' in How to test adb and fastboot work, since I cannot install the driver.
It shows like AOSP on HammerHead and I cannot install a single driver.
Thanks!

Well the good thing is that I unbricked it, by following How to Unbrick or Unroot the Nexus 5 (incl. Tamper Flag Reset) on YouTube by C4ETech, the bad thing is that I have to install everything again, but okay my fault
Anyways guys thanks for help !
If you can see the Google logo when you turn on your device and can go into recovery, it's not bricked. Bricked means it will not turn on at all. It's essentially just a "brick" with no possible way to recover.

Completely agree. And by this rule, there is not really such a thing as a software brick either.
That said, I do sometimes use the term "Radio Brick" when a Rdio flash has gone wrong and it cannot be fixed without being sent to the Vendor. Can't think of a better term.

By that term, anything nonrecoverable can be considered a brick which is still more accurate than a device being bricked or software bricking a device yet it can still be turned on and/or charged.
Anyway, I say all that to say to the OP and all who think they are bricked, all is not lost if your device functions at all.
Anyone have a link or instructions on how to root, unlock the Bootloader, and install custom recovery on the Metro varient running stock 6.0? Been searching around and can only find 5.1 and down instructions. Cant afford to brick.
from what i am reading, you should be able to use the same method that they used to root the tmobile 6.0 update found here http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-root-t-mobile-6-0-update.1008880/
i havent tried it myself yet, so if you have the courage please report back and let us know how it goes
edit i couldnt wait anymore...i kdz'd back to stock and im trying to force the ota to come through...will post back with results when i get it and attempt to root
Thank you for this link. This worked beautifully. i was able to get into TWRP and do a full backup and install Super SU. Yes, I'm using MS631 with Android 6.0 and now I can say I'm successfully rooted. This made my day being able to root the Stylo after the upgrade.
Encase you're unsure on how to gain access to a command line through Windows hold down shift key and right click the file. Should see the option to open command line and from then on follow the steps.

If you manually change your time to 11pm local time and then reboot your phone you should see the upgrade message in the system update section

I thought you had to fastboot oem unlock the bootloader before rooting?

It doesn't automatically reboot for me. So I don't think it matters as long as you unlock before rebooting.

That's right. That's what happened to me. The only ways to fix the problem is either by flashing a KDZ (with a computer), or send it to LG for repairs. Better safe than sorry.

nope. It happens to me too. I think you have to have Android SDK Tools installed on your PC alongside ADB for it to work, sadly

I did, it turns out, I had to install the appropriate drivers fro the Stylo MTP, then I had to install the appropriate ADB Drivers by updating to LGE Mobile ADB Drivers, then after that, I had to do "adb reboot-bootloader" and that booted it straight into the fastboot interface, but to no avail, I couldn't get fastboot to recognise the device, so I went into device manager, and I saw "(something)com bootloader interface", I expanded that, and saw Android Bootloader interface. So I updated the software, hit load from PC, and hit Android Bootloader Interface Version 9.0.0.0 instead of 11, and fastboot saw my phone
message me further if you need any help, if you want me to Teamspeak you so I can show you directly, I'll be glad to help you
