This is the Official UK FOTA with root added and the Recovery/Boot update removed. These will not work on a non UK Device. I plan to add updates from other locations so if you have these official FOTA's available, please pm me.
I haven't changed anything else in the update so future upgrades should in theory work with this rom.
Install this with cwm and enjoy the new features that the FOTA update brings without having to worrying about losing root. This rom will only work if you are running the stock rom that the transformer came with. This will only install on top of the previous firmware update and will fail if you are using any other rom.
Root is not required to install this rom
Thanks to MoDaCo for the custom recovery that makes this rom possible.

These are cumulative updates that can only be installed on top of stock HRI66.WW_epad-8.2.2.6-20110325 using custom recovery.

any way u can get a sys dump for us?
like use root explorer and just copy that sys folder and stuff or ADB?
No need for me to do this, as someone already did.
You can get it from this post here:

Good work on the deodexing btw.
thanks man a full rom will be up tonight o and i found this guy and his pet tree in GalleryNew3D.apk
just so we can have some laughs.
Great work. Can I flash this over the Modaco rom?
i dont think so i think u would need to delete app and framework in the system folder then flash my rom
ill be working on the recovery once i get on to help out on the scripts
im uploading a fixed rom go to my topic and u can post there since we r getting OT here.
Thank you for taking the lead on this. We - the new Transformer user base - are in your debt.
My unit, one of the first in the US release, is on its way to me from PC Richard. I'm hearing that it's likely to update its firmware automatically on switch-on. I'd prefer to use your update with root built in, so my questions are:
1. Is there a way to block the auto-update on a new Transformer - e.g. by not setting up its Wi-Fi till I've installed your rom? Or will it update from a version stored in its flash memory regardless?
2. If it is possible to block the initial update, will installing your rom prevent the official OTA from taking place afterwards? Or is a subsequent clash likely to occur?
3. The MediaFire link isn't currently working for me. That's a first! Do you have another link?
Thank you again for all your work.
if u want my rom was based off this just deodexed and a few things were fixed to use less ram etc. if u flash my rom the OTA wont happen. because it will already think u have the latest running since u would.
when the next OTA comes out when it trys to install it will fail most likely just like all other rooted devices.

The current clockwork is a "soft" recovery - i.e the physical recovery image isn't overwritten.
Therefore, assuming with the new roms you can still use the same clockwork recovery you can backup pre-flash ("factory") flash the new roms. Any issues, boot back into recovery and restore from the Nandroid.

Anyone else getting 403 Forbidden error from MediaFire when you actually go to download FOTA2.zip?
New links added...
Also, I've tried searching for this, but haven't found anything yet. Maybe you can shed some light. In my build.prop, the fingerprint shows US_pad instead of WW_epad, so it doesn't pass the checks in CWM recovery when I try to update using your ZIP files.
I'm guessing the US_epad signifies that it is the US build, and WW_epad is the UK build? My transformer came with build 20110325, and System Update says that there are no updates available.

I figured they would be different, If anyone can get me the US updates from /cache I can mod these and add these to my first post.
Somehow I don't think the US version has updates pushed out yet. I keep hitting Check Update and it always comes back no updates available.

This assumes you:
- Have the latest FROYO OTA installed 3.70.651.1
- Have some experience working with flashing things in recovery
- Have NOT deleted/uninstalled ANYTHING in /system
- Have defrosted any bloat you froze with Bloat Freezer or Ti Backup Pro
- Have S-OFF (Used Unrevoked Forever or a version of Unrevoked3 that includes Forever)
OK now let us get to it.
1. Go ahead and download the OTA like normal on your phone, but DO NOT install it.
2. Using a file manager copy the OTA zip file from /cache to /sdcard
3. Using Rom Manager, flash Amon RA Recovery 2.3 (Down at the bottom)
4. In Rom Manager, click the Reboot into Recovery button.
5. Select apply zip from SD Card and flash the OTA zip file that you put in /sdcard
--10 Minutes later.....you now have the UNROOTED OTA installed just as if you installed it normally--
6. Download the 2.6.0.1 ClockWorkMod Recovery zip from here and place it in the root of your SD card
7. Under settings > applications > disable FastBoot (re-enable this when you are done with the whole process)
8. Power off and reboot holding Volume down. The bootloader will scan and then will and ask you to press Volume up to install. Reboot.
9. Delete the PC36IMG.zip file from your SD card and place the attachment below in the root of the SD card.
10. Power off and reboot holding Volume down and then select recovery to start CWM recovery.
11. Choose apply zip from sd card. Choose select zip on sd card. You will see the SU file on the list, flash it to root your phone. Reboot.
You should now be rooted and can upgrade the recovery now to whatever style and version you want!
Enjoy! Please click the THANKS button if it worked for you!

Very cool!!
Great info ..hey if I follow these steps and skip the last part will my phone be stock / uprooted and good to go.for a trade in or repair? I've been trying to figure out the best way to unrest when.e3d comes out
I never updated to 3.70. I'm assuming I can do that the same way, root again, download the gingerbread, and root again?
I'm thinking it might just be easier to flash the rooted ROM and radios, but I'm not sure what's best.
if you have amon ra recovery (and a stock rom), you can simply download and click install.
I clicked install, amonra booted up, detected and ran update, click reboot, then the stock recovery will be active and updates the radios, once back in to sense, you can reinstall amonra or clockwork, then SU
worked for me.

Well I wouldn't want to try it unless your prepared to do a full ruu reset if it fails.
the OTA is like a patcher, it deletes unneeded files, adds new files, and updates existing files... if its not completely stock it may (or may not) cause an error which the updater can't handle, and then you may be left with a half upgraded system.
if you nandroid *before* downloading the ota, you should always be able to go back, assuming you have perm soff from unrevoked forever.
it should run whether you have removed files or not. if it tries to delete a file that does not exist the script will just skip it. op i think you have bit of confusion going on though. you were only able to reattain root because you are s-off from unrevoked forever. if you are not s-off and do your method, which is no different then just excepting the ota and letting it do its thing btw, you will loose root until this new ota is cracked. just fwi, there was no "magic" from you flashing manually, the same script is ran and the same files are moved and patches are made regardless.
cant I reinstall the apps and put the apks in their original system folder?

im currently running cm7. if i go back to a rooted stock froyo rom, will this work???
confused. I just don't understand why you wouldn't download the rooted version of the ROM from here on XDA and just flash it like a normal rom. Maybe I'm overtired and missing the point.
To me, its like this. If you're rooted, and want an OTA update, just wait for the devs at XDA to go through it and root it, and make it available for download. Then just download it and flash it. You get the same exact update that way, as if you took the OTA from sprint. Except this way you don't risk losing root, and your good to go.
If you're not rooted and your phone is stock, accept OTA like normal.
I don't understand why all this extra stuff needs to be done, and add more to the confusion. If your rooted, updating to the latest is simple. Download it and flash it in recovery.

Do a full wipe and flash like any other rom you've ever flashed before. You'll then be on the latest and greatest . (you'll probably be going right back to CM)
EDIT: and to the OP, sorry that I don't agree with you. I just find it more confusing that way, and I guess that whatever the point of doing it that way is, is sailing miles above my head.

That link I supplied a couple posts up is a completely 100% stock and rooted version of the OTA update.
This is from the first paragraph of the first post of that thread.
"Stock 4.22.651.2 ROM, rooted and ready for your flashing pleasures. This is a completely stock ROM that has had nothing done to it outside of rooting & deodexing, it's not even zip aligned yet (sorry DrMacinyasha)
As always make sure your wipe your dalvik and create a nandroid before flashing."

thanks for your insight. only thing I am confused on at this point is why there are kernels listed to flash from May just below it? wouldnt the htc stock kernel from the ota be in this rom already? seems like alot of folks are looking for newer kernels to flash after flashing xhaus rom. Any insight would be great. thanks again!

I was a little curious about why those kernels were linked there too. I honestly haven't really kept up with thread, because I don't have an interest in flashing the update to begin with. I noticed those kernels are from May 4th, so it doesn't seem like they'd be the most current one. Without reading that thread, I first would've presumed that the kernel that comes with the rom would be the one to use. So, you've read through the thread and you're seeing that people are having trouble with the kernel that the rom comes with?? I'll take a gander over in the thread in a few minutes and see what I make out of it.
Well I f'd up and installed the latest update straight from sprint, instead of waiting for the rooted version to come out. I guess I thought I would find something exciting, but now I would realize it was kind of worthless and want to go back to a different rom like miui or vaelpak. I am s-off with unrevoked. Is there some combination of the steps listed I can use to back out of this?
Let me take a guess...did this update my radios and hboot to a version that would be incompatible with these roms?
All - There is absolutely nothing wrong with my TF101 but I am getting annoyed at the Asus Update notices and wanted to know if there was a way to go back to a stock kernel and then un-root for the update before re-rooting and switching back to a custom kernel. All without loosing my data/config/etc.
I have seen how to un-root but not restore a stock kernel.
I assume it is possible and I am simply trying to walk a thin line that no one else cares to do!
Thanks if you can help and if my search skills failed me I apologize.
use titanium backup, freeze the app DMClient, no more update
Thanks - that is one solution to try.
That stopped the update notice - but as I fall farther and farther behind on versions (8.6.5.6) the OC and CWM are not really worth it, or more specifically I do not want to have to rebuild my install after a full flash/wipe.
Amy idea's?
Thanks
So what configuration do you want to have in the end? Latest firmware, rooted, with a custom kernel? and no more update notifications?
I suppose there are a few ways to go about this:
1) download the stock 8.6.5.13 firmware from the asus website and use that to upgrade. It will also flash the stock kernel. You can wait for the OTA and afterwards, re-root and apply a custom kernel. You might have to flash the stock recovery to get the update to flash or you can use adb and CWM to get it to flash.
2) my favorite- download the 8.6.5.13 firmware and the OTA and repackage them into a rooted rom. It's like a new rom and a puzzle all in one. You can even add a custom kernel to get everything in one shot.
Both of these should keep your data partition intact.
The fine line is more like a limbo - you have to either choose to revert to stock every time you want to upgrade and hope that the update doesn't fail. Or, you can take advantage of root privileges so that you can load custom roms, even if they are just rooted versions of the stock firmware.

Sounds like a plan - tips or source for the too dumb to fail instructions?
Thanks!
Download the 8.6.5.13 firmware from ASUS. Choose android/firmware and download the country specific firmware for 8.6.5.13 (or latest firmware)
Unzip it and it will be an ASUS folder with some goodies inside. Copy the whole folder onto your externel sdcard. Insert the sdcard into your TF and it should recognize the update. Apply it and you'll have stock 8.6.5.13. Check for updates and apply it. Re-root and update you kernel and you should be good to go.

Im just wondering; will this method work with a custom rom? I currently have a Modaco custom ROM, but this is based on .9 firmware.
Im happy to resort to the method above if it will let me progress to the latest firmware (which i can then re-root afterwards) but keep my data intact.
Thanks for your advice.
I don't know if the custom rom will recognize the firmware. If it does, it should work.
As far as rolling your own, I'm not sure there are any step by step instructions from start to finish. You'll need to know how to:
1) root a rom (adding su and Superuser.apk)
2) package a flashable zip file (including updating the updater-script)
3) manipulate a rom to add/remove things like kernels, system firmware, etc.
4) pack/unpack boot and other android! magic files
5) pack/unpack blob files
6) (optional) deodex a rom

I just rooted my TF101 using ViperMod but now I'm not sure whether I should install CWM recovery or not if I want to install further OTAs. I have read some threads but couldn't come up with a clear answer. I read somewhere that only stock recovery can receive OTA updates but also read that CWM can receive them too. If I can't install CWM then what ROMs can I install with stock recovery? What's the best way to go if I want to be ready for the ICS? Thanks!!

Technically you'll still receive the OTA update you just can't apply it if you have CWM or a custom ROM installed.
You can't install custom ROM without CWM (if you have an older SBK tablet you can use NVFlash with a compatible ROM).
So I shouldn't install cwm until the ICS drops right?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
If you want to update to ICS via OTA don't instal CWM.
As you have been told, you will get the OTA message but the update will fail.
So you have two choices (or three):
* Keep stock recovery and update to ICS when the OTA update is available
* Install CWM and update to ICS as soon as a DEV publishes an ICS ROM
* Install CWM and remove it as soon as you know the OTA is due (pretty lame, but you could do it).
Regards.

I have a question about removing CWR. Actually 2.
1. Can't we just uninstall and wipe data with Titanium since it was installed as an .apk- from Gnufabio? (pretty sure this won't work but thought I would throw it out there anyways). Where is the recovery located on a tablet (what folders) Same as in phones?
2. Can we just flash the stock recovery by itself and not reset back to .13 or younger? If I am running stock ROM, it seems that I should be able to just reflash the stock recovery and replace it w/o changing the ROM or factory reset.
I have no problem doing it the long way but if it doesn't need to be done and we can replace the CWR with stock and not tamper with the ROM, it seems logical.
Clearly I just got the tab recently and have been reading and reading but they seem so much different than the way phones work. I am very comfortable flashing ROMs/Kernels/Mods on phones, but just a little intimidated with the tablet (for now).

1- The RecoveryInstaller app only help to flash the recovery image so no you can just delete it.
2- You can flash a stock recovery image via CWM. You can get a repacked version here.

I figured that would be the case with the executable part of the apk.
I read that thread but wasn't sure if only the stock recovery by itself could be flashed w/o the prepacked ROM.
This is a full rom for stock(ish) 9.2.1.17 and includes the following:
9.2.1.17 US bootloader and kernel/boot.img
modded recovery based on Roach's 3.2.0.1
Superuser
su binary
busybox
adb enabled, ro.secure=0 (if you previously disabled adb, it will remain disabled, unless you wipe data)
The updater script will also clear cache and dalvik cache.
Plus, if you flash now, it will also fix the cwm recovery bootloops by writing zeros to the first 80 bytes of /misc (/dev/block/mmcblk0p3)
I was lazy and the progress bar in recovery does not udpate- it is a full rom so it does take a while to flash.
This is pretty close to a rooted stock experience. It isn't for everyone, but I think some will find it useful. I thought this would help out people who get in in a pickle by flashing various roms and ending up with unbootable systems, or people who tried a few other roms and want to return to a more stock experience. I think a custom recovery is safer with a rooted rom so that flashing via recovery is still available. This should still receive OTA updates, but they will probably fail to flash because the build.prop file is different (ro.secure=0 and adb). This rom will flash in situations where doaist's CWM friendly updates will not. As a matter of fact, this rom will probably flash on any version of cwm/custom recovery that can read it.
The recovery is modded- it is based on Roach's 3.2.0.1 and only sees the external sd card. I used Roach's ramdisk, but used the the inits, fstab, and ueventd files from the stock recovery. This recovery will seem identical, but you can look at the default.prop to see the difference. In future versions, I might change the version number in case there is any confusion.
NOTE and WARNINGS:
This is for the TF101 US only. The fingerprint checks are removed from the updater-script so it is up to you to know what you are flashing. (Don't flash this on your phone! and if you do, don't say a word and act like your phone is still working.)
This will overwrite your recovery. You can flash it back to something else after a reboot.
This will overwrite your bootloader/EBT. This might have unintended consequences so flash at your own risk. The stock OTA updates the bootloader, so this is why I included it here.
Flash at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damages or consequences.

Flashed over Revolver 3.11, it automatically optimized the apps on first boot, so far so good.
The weather widget won't update my location, but I've had trouble with that on a lot of the stock firmwares. Could also be from the flash over revolver.

If anyone is having problems downloading, I uploaded to Box:
I've shared a folder with you through Box.
To access this folder, visit the following link: https://www.box.com/shared/a479f50d578d27a355f9
Due to my account limitations, I had to upload it as a multi-part zip (6 50mb sections, and a tiny trailing 7th section)
Hope that helps!

OK, WW version is uploaded. Sorry for the confusion.
Quick question...do we nvFlash this or rename it/reboot as if it were a legitimate stock rom?

This flashes through clockworkmod or any other custom recovery. I think there is a recovery installer.apk in the dev section, or there are nvflash versions of some of the custom recoveries.

Happens with both the US & WW versions. I watched the download stop at approx 190MB. Don't know what's causing it. I guess I'm the only one.
I';ll check the server hold on
Mmm cant see anything strange, the ww file and us file have both be downloaded succesfully allready but i'll keep watch. The server should support download managers btw.

This is a full rom for stock(ish) 9.2.1.17 and includes the following:
NOTE and WARNINGS:
This is for the TF101 US only. The fingerprint checks are removed from the updater-script so it is up to you to know what you are flashing. (Don't flash this on your phone! and if you do, don't say a word and act like your phone is still working.)
This will overwrite your recovery. You can flash it back to something else after a reboot.
This will overwrite your bootloader/EBT. This might have unintended consequences so flash at your own risk. The stock OTA updates the bootloader, so this is why I included it here.
=====================
The WW version make the same, overwrite the bootloader and recovery?
Thanks

Yes, they both update the bootloader and recovery. The recovery is based on Roach's 3.2.0.1. You can flash a different recovery after a reboot if you want to change it.
The stock recovery is too limiting with a rooted rom- it's practically useless actually since it won't always restore if changes have been made.
Updating bootloader really means what in practical terms? I am intending to flash this but this bootloader stuff makes me wonder...

So far all fine.
Sound finally on the normal volume.
Reboots not seen yet. (too early to tell)
Only problem i had was busy box and super user but fixed it in the end.
WW version.
Cheers!

About recovery I understand is ease to flash a newest.
And about bootloader, what change? I can continue to flash custom roms and new kernels?
Obrigado
No one can please post an NVFlashable rom of the WW version??
I only need the system and the boot part, as using a dual boot system i can only update via nvflash
PLEASEEEEE!!

The bootloader gets updated with the OTA so I left it in to stay with the rooted stock experience. The bootloader I included is the one asus includes with their update. I'm not sure if other roms will be expecting older bootloaders. I think most nvflash versions use the oldest bootloader still, and I don't know if this will cause any issues. I don't foresee issues with other roms and kernels, although I did notice I had to wipe data completely to get some of the aosp roms to boot.
As I said, this is directed to someone who wants root and a more stock rom. You can edit system to debloat (and reinstall if you take too much out )

I decided to return to stock today so i could check out the newest ota which was not implemented in my fav rom yet. I soon realized its a pain in the ass to get there. Flash rom, update, update, etc, etc. And even worse is tracking down all the threads required for it.
Though I've narrowed it down to three or four, I thought i'd make a thread to put it all in one spot.
First off thanks to the members/devs that make these updates and roms for us. I dev on the HTC eVO 4g and know how time consuming and tedious it can be.
I am renaming and reuploading all the files required to ensure links stay current and are easy to follow. I will however be linking to all original threads where i got the files as well as giving props to the members who provided them.
I have a US version TF101 and will only be testing on that device. I dont know what works on tf101G, WW, TW models etc
I will update this thread as new rooted ota's come out.

FAQ
-Will this root my transformer = no

-Can i flash this on top of a custom rom = NO
-Will this replace the custom recovery with the stock recovery? = NO, this will not touch your current recovery
-OMG, I lost root after this = NO you didnt or you did something wrong.
Can you explain why step 2 and 3 are needed?
You couldn't go from 1 to 4 if you want 9.2.1.21?

its my understanding that you have to have the last prior ota installed to be able to install the next. The last update may not include everything from the others.
Will this replace the custom recovery with the stock recovery?

I knew i'd forget one of the typicals in the FAQ..
Answer is no, this will not change/touch your current recovery
I wanted to return to stock Rom too, but I have seen your topic too late....
I first saved my root with rootsavekeeper
I have wiped cache and dalvik, and then install the rom
Now, I have a bootloop with the Asus logo, and if I try boot in recovery, I have the red robot
If u have a solution, I take it
Sorry for my english

What ROM did you flash? If you flashed the official ROM from Asus you unrooted the TF.
Looks like you have stock recovery now.
Yes I have
My biggest problem is to get out on this sh*t Now

What model do you have? B50, B60, B70?
If you have a B50 or B60, try this
Once you get back to stock honeycomb, you'll have to root it again.
@baseballfanz : Guy, you have saved my tablet .. I had almost throwed it in the garbage
@ldc2335 : I have bought it in France, and no idea about the version, sorry .. (I don't have the dock)
Well, now, I willl see if it is stable or not :
- if it is, I need to find the way to root it (but I have read it's not possible with the last Rom, right ?)
- if not ... I will try to return to Honeycomb and sell this piece of sh*t, and I will buy the Galaxy S3 or will wait for the Note 2
Thx again !!!!
I use NVflash way and from modded(rooted/CWM/Overclock) 9.2.1.17 directly flash back to stock clean 9.2.1.17 and it's very quick... and root it agan via Vipermod and flash 9.2.1.21 update zip.. Takes about lest than 30mins..
Thats one way to do it. I just dont wanna re-root etc.
Flash, reboot, flash, reboot, flash, reboot..done Definitly 30 mins or less.

If you can return to honeycomb, then just reroot and then flash any rom you want. Whats the issue?
Simple, clear, straightforward directions - very nice. The file naming is clever also, no "now which file do I flash next?..."

I hve succesfully flashed the .11 version, but when I try to update to the next version, it restarts, and starts loading the installation as it is supposed to, ut then it says "installation aported"
I am using Rootkeeper and CWM, and have temp. unrooted, I am using a B70 WW.
Anyone have a solution?

Same here, its an assert issue, I remember dealing with it when flashing my epic touch and I believe that had to do with the version of CWM that it was being flashed from
can anyone confirm?
EDIT: B40 using roach v5.5.0.4 r2 CWM
