Memo Pad 7 (ME170CX) to Lollipop?

[Michael Grijak]

Hi everybody! Just picked up an Asus Memo Pad 7 Me170 CX that was brand new in the shrink wrapped box. booted it up and it did all the usual updates to apps and to Android itself and after all was said and done, it ended up at 4.4.2. So far, so good! Looked on the Asus support website and found this: ASUS MeMO Pad 7 (ME170C) Software Image Version: 12.8.1.33 For WW SKU only
Improved Item:
1.OS upgrade to Lollipop.
2.Android 5.0 does not support Battery widget, TTS and Dual App.
3.Add Auto-start manager to manage memory and improve system performance
4.Add ZenUI Help, Backup and Free HD Games
5.Check-in 1GB RAM performance optimization mechanism


My question is then this: Is the upgrade process as simple as downloading the zip file, extracting onto a micro SD card, putting the card into my memo pad with power off, holding down volume up and power simultaneously to bring up the boot menu, selecting SD update, and letting the disc image do it's thing? Is there anything missing before I attempt this? Thanks in advance for the replies! This is my first android device!

Welcome to Android Central! Did you already go to Settings>About Tablet>System Updates and check for updates there? You may want to wait a few days to see if the device finally prompts you for the OTA update.

Yup, already did that, it says that the system is up to date
