can't seem to find any postings regarding the exact process on how to get my 8g internal SD back on my system that is why i ended up posting this. whenever i check it on the ideos, it is now disabled and it says unavailable. i also can't connect to my PC now via usb maybe because i don't have the internal SD. it happened when i try to partition my SD with Easyus Program in the hope that i may be able to install other programs into a more bigger space but then everything failed. I was already able to split it into 2 but i have slept over it and the next morning when i continued, i forgot where i have left last. i have tried to redo the whole thing all over again and started deleting the newly created partition and that was it. out of frustration and another hope that it might factory reset my unit in its original state and bring back my "unavailable SD". since then i can't get it back.
i have tried to browse all over here and also in other sites but there were no exact way how i will be able to get it available for use again. there are some that says i have to install the early android eclair version but there is just no place i can download that piece of os, not even on the huawei site. there are suggestions to use busybox and adb which i must admit that i have completely no knowledge of but willing to try if there will be guide to follow. the only problem on this way is my ideos7 can't communicate with my PC thru USB because of that missing internal SD card.
i hope somebody with a kind heart and knowledge can help me with this thing. i will surely appreciate it so much. this ideos is so dear to me and i just can't help to think the i ended up deleting its internal SD out of my stupidity.
thanks! you all have a nice day and continue enjoying your weekend.
details of my ideos7
it's a European Version, I guess this is the s7-104 with front camera only. It's running with the installed
Android Version: 2.2.2
Baseband: 504030
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-Ideos
Build Number: S7V100R001C98B021
I lost the rooting on the process and since then i can no longer have the way to root it back again because of the usb connection issue.
thanks again and hoping to get a big help from somebody out there.
UP
still hoping for anybody.
still hoping
for anybody who can help
Your problem, I think, has easy answer. You must to make a downgrade to android 2.1. In the huawei page you find the rom. in my case the problem is worse, my internal sd does not appear even as unavailable and i dont know to do.
regards
dead link
that's what i initially thought but all the links leading to this downgrade rom which is the 2.1 eclair, is already dead. i was lucky to find another but i see the fbi logo since it was the megaupload link. i have been looking for it even in the huawei site. everything is out already. i hope somebody out there has the Android 2.1 eclair that i can try. this i read from somewhere may be able to restore back my unavailable internal sd card.
thanks for reading and still hoping to get a copy or link for the android 2.1 eclair.
disregard all
i have found it already and it is back again. thanks a lot!
Same problem
I have the same problem as you. Can you send a link to the 2.1 eclair? I have searched for days...
1, the phone has root, and install better terminal emulator such as HyperTerminal simulation
2, in HyperTerminal, enter( su ）
3, and so become the # sign, type ( dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 ). Other end of the run,maybe wait 5 minutes. Restart the phone.
4, into the "Settings" - "sdcard and storage", u can be formatted with the built-in sdcard
I recently got a ZTE Open via ebay UK.
First thing to do is upgrade to 1.1 to get fastboot functionality, unfortunately only one of the two downloads on ztedevices.com for the zte open seems to download to my computer correctly, and that is 2014012010220351.zip which from what i've read is for taking a 1.1 to 1.1 with fastboot enabled.
The other download 2014012010205829.zip which is the one that I think I need takes hours rather than minutes to download, and once downloaded nothing on my PC thinks it is a valid zip archive.
Questions
Has anyone successfully downloaded and used contents of 2014012010205829.zip ? -

For me the downloads are dodgy in the sense that sometimes they download within minutes and sometimes they begin downloading with an estimated time of minutes and then indefinitely increase in time. The only fix I've found is trying to download the files again at a later time. I hope this helps, if not, ask someone with knowledge of uploading files to the internet to help you out by downloading and uploading it to somewhere for you
Hi everyone,
I've already asked my question on dedicate Android TV/Sony forum but my question concerned also Android TV system in general so I take chance..
I have KD-43X8305C (EU_FR model) and my stock firmware version is 2287.
I tried to update my device on line but I have message with a 2123 error (Server unvalaible).
then I tried downloading the last firmware PKG (3.317) from sony website and forced it via USB (with different stick).
it says "updating", tried copied file on TV but the tv restart just after and restart many time (with bootlogo... Android update) but the version still the same.
Is it possible to find a log file in android TV wich can explain that issue, I'm not specialist with Linux/Android TV but I think that the system could not find any free memory space to save the pkg file or don't have permission to save in the correct file. .
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Hi - please bear with me as i am not the greatest techie on earth.
I wan't to update my p-9 lite to nougat eventually- since i appear to be last in line for the official.
Why ? because i have diabete type 1 and use an app to communicate with my NFC based clucose monitoring system. In nougat i can turn off the sound which is higly annoying and very shrill.
I have a L31c432B104
So - seeing that i have googled my self blue and black it seem that i cant go directly.
So on here i found a thread saying that going to 151 would be safe- and so i hoped that from there i could work my way "upwards"
I got firmware finder from team mt - and the fun begins.
Got it on the pc- downloaded. created folder on sd card, transferred and so on- and it would not accept the update on startup.
So deleted and started over - this time via the phone and app
Found the file via the app, downloaded and restarted my phone with vol+, vol- and the on button.
It got to 5 %, stayed there for a while and then went on to my "desktop" i thougth i was fine to go. NO:::::: still on 104 according to phone.
The files are there somwhere, as i can se i have gained 1,7 GB in the internal storage.
How to proceed from here ? can't seem to find any guides to the program that makes any sense.
Anyone able to help ? getting quite annoyed and have so far spent quite some time getting nowhere but frustrated.
and my mom who doesn't care or need it got it 3 weeks ago on her somwhat never p9-lite UGH
Hello everyone,
I'm trying to start this thread, in order to ask for your kind help in turning the Chinese Rom of the Asus Zenpad 10 3s [P027] to any other Rom that provides Google services/apps, as you may know all Google services and apps are banned in China, so the original Rom the Pad comes with, doesn't provide any of the previous. I've been following other threads, and so far haven't found anything very useful on this topic.
There are currently no available updates to Android 7.0 yet. Thus, it is a bit hard to use the tools people have managed to root the device have provided.
Android Version:
6.0
Android Security Patch Level:
August 1, 2017
Kernel Version:
3.18.19
[email protected] #1
Sun Sep 10 03:50:49 CST 2017
Build Number:
MRA58L.CN_Zenpad-13.0610.1708.30-20170909
I'd really appreciate if anyone could provide any directions or point out anything that could be done, thank you very much! :fingers-crossed:
Same problem here. Any updates on this?

Nothing yet man, without android 7 is hard to try anything they have so far. I hope they update soon!
I doubt there is enough demand to get an fix for this issue on XDA, especially since the manufacturer has this tablet locked down really tight. I think our best hope is that someone who is bilingual might be able to find a solution on the Chinese internet and post it here.

I've been asking in some Chinese Forums also, but the problem is that Chinese people don't really use Google services/apps. So as you said, we're a bit stuck here.
Should we email them or something, I mean Asus?
Maybe if we sent it to Taiwan, and get the Taiwanese Rom, somehow?
I sent an e-mail to ASUS a while ago and got this:
Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for contacting ASUS Service Care.
My name is Ashley and it's my pleasure to help you with your problem.
To approach your questions……
Because of the regional policy limited, asus can’t build Google GMS Service Pack in product that be sold in Chinese mainland.
So there is no Google Play app in your pad. And the Google Play could not be used on the pad.
You can download apps through browser.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
If you have any further questions, comments, or concerns please do not hesitate to let us know. We will be more than happy to assist you.

This is what I got
I'm in the middle of this, I'll let you know what they reply.
I think it'll be a bit useless, but let's see what they say.
Update: Ended up in the same answer they gave you @yngwieromeo
We have read a lot of forums and so far we can't find one that has been able to do the firmware change to TW, JP or any other that could use the google play.
We don't mind loosing the guarantee, since the Pads so far are pretty much useless to us. Could you please refer us to a site where is well explained how to do the change of firmware, we would really appreciate it.
Or is there any Asus Office or Maintenance Center, we could visit outside of China (HK, TW, SG, UK, etc.) that could help us with this matter?
Thank you very much for your help again, and hope to hear from you soon!

If you want to change the Firmware to WW/TW.
You can try to find the way to change the Firmware of the pad from internet. But if you change the Firmware Version, you will lose the warranty of the pad.

[Product Information]
Product Type : ZenPad
Product Model : ASUS ZenPad 3S 10(Z500M)
Operation System / Firmware or BIOS version : Android 6.0
Kernel ver: 3.18.19
MRA58L.CN_Zenpad-13.0610.1708.30_2
[Problem Description]
I purchased two ZenPad 10 3s [P027] in China. They come originally without any Google services and apps, which make it very difficult for me to work in my company because all of our services are Google based. Also, the Android version is outdated compared to other roms you have available in other countries, and our company is moving to another country soon.
I would like to know if I can travel to Hong Kong or Taiwan and you can change the Chinese version to another country's version which support Google services.
I would really appreciate it, since we cannot use the tablets as we intended. Thank you for your support!

There was a recent post in another thread about a bootloader unlock utility on the Asus site. Perhaps that can give you the jump start you need to get a U.S. based ROM. I'm no expert. Just putting it out there.

There is only a toast “The device model is not supported.”
Maybe ASUS just forgot about the Chinese version.

Tethered boot to twrp and just flashing the image won't work?

I have tried to Boot in Recovery mode and tried to install the original WW version from SD card and with ADB sideload, but it failed. Very easy thing to try but just starting to test stuff and see where can I get to progressively (until I brick it haha).
For your reference the Error messages displayed on both cases were as follows:
--- Install /sdcard/UL-P027-WW14.0210.1806.33-user.zip ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
This package is for "WW_P027" devices; this is a "CN_P027".
E: Error in /sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
UPDATE: I've tried the following with no success posted by @toineh :
1. Install "Magisk Manager" on your device
Downloaded the Magisk Manager Apk from their official site and installed on the Zenpad
https://******************/
2. Be sure the "boot.img" is available to select
I downloaded the original Asus firmware from their website https://www.asus.com/us/Tablets/ASUS...HelpDesk_BIOS/ "Version CN_V13.0610.1708.30" then extracted the zip into my PC and copied the extracted folder into the Zenpad's SD card (don't copy it into the internal storage, you need to have a SD card) Check that you can access the "boot.img" file inside the folder you just copied into the SD card
3. Select "install" in "Magisk Manager" and "Patch Boot Image File"
Clicked install in Magisk Manager, then it asks if you want a zip or patch a boot image file, chose "Patch a Boot Image file" it asks for permissions to access your files and I allowed it, then send me a message saying that I have to disable overlay which kept me doing unnecessary things for a while, how I got passed it was to just go to the apps permission tab and allow it manually to access my files and folders. Then selected the "boot.img" file on my SD card and got this message, saying the patched boot imagine is on the "Download" folder on my Zenpad's internal storage
Results displayed:
Code:
-copying image to cache
-Device platform: arm64-v8a
-Downloading zip
... 100%
-Extracting files
-Boot image is signed with AVB 1.0
-Signing boot image with test keys
**********************************
Patched image is placed in
/storage/emulated/0/Download/patched_boot.img
**********************************
Done!
4. Search in file manager /sdcard/MagiskManager/ for "patched_boot.img"
In my case the "patched_boot.img" file was on /storage/emulated/0/Download/patched_boot.img
The file was 10,070 KB
5. Copy the patched image to your PC. keep the storage location in mind
I copied the "patched_boot.img" file from my Zenpad into the same directory where I run adb from c:\adb on my PC
6. Connect your P027 to your PC using USB
Had already installed the drivers and ADB to my PC, plugged the tab with the original Asus USB -C cable and set it into file transfer mode.
7. Open terminal and type "adb reboot bootloader"
First run command "adb devices" to check that it detects my Zenpad
Code:
C:\adb>adb devices
List of devices attached
H9NPCV******** device
Then typed "adb reboot bootloader"
Code:
C:\adb>adb reboot bootloader
C:\adb>
The Zenpad enters fastboot mode, you can run "fastboot devices" to check that it detects it
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot devices
H9NPCV******* fastboot
8. when done, you type "fastboot boot patched_boot.img"
This gives me the following:
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot boot patched_boot.img
Downloading 'boot.img' OKAY [ 0.486s]
booting FAILED (remote: 'oem unlock is false')
Finished. Total time: 0.512s
The Zenpad showed:
Code:
USB Transferring......
USB transmission OK Time: 423ms Vel: 24376KB/s
After reading other threads, I guess what I'm missing is the oem unlock tool from @diplomatic
Anyone has any thoughts on this? would appreciate any help!
Cheers!
Thank you for keeping up with the work rodrigo
Any more information come out, yet?
Possible method to flash WW
I have a method that will probably work to convert this tablet to a WW version ROM. I don't have this tablet to try it out on, but I can guide someone through the process. Someone (@rodrigoeblanco?) please contact me by PM if you'd like to explore it with me. Note that there is a small risk involved and you should be somewhat familiar with Linux shell commands. If this works out, I will make a proper guide for everyone...
