Updating fixes stuff, but may be harder to root.... should I update or wait until it's rooted and update via roms? Ahhhh!
I believe that a root method has already been found for the newest update.

I thought root was not possible on US version atm. But you mean there are already a root for the newest update on US? Guess I need to look through the Dev section more indepthly.
it's in the original root thread.
Oh sick, thanks! I thought that was only for UK version, silly me.

Go to settings - about tablet at the bottom - all info is there. If your android version is anything other than 4.1.1 then that would be why you're getting tagged for the update.

Thanks my current version is 4.0.3...should I update or stay with ics? That thread about the jelly bean issues that many people are having with this tablet have me hesitant to update combined with the fact that once u go JB there is no way to get back to ICS..what do you guys suggest?

Are you wanting to root your tablet? If so, stay on ICS.
I would hold out.

Personally I would stick with ICS for now. I updated my girlfriends tablet to JB and now the backspace on her dock works intermittently.

If you're up for unlocking the thing, then you can try one of the JB ROMs with the option to return to ICS (even stock ICS) later. I've been running JB since July on AOKP or BAKED BlackBean and love it. Both of those boot with the ICS bootloader so you're able to swap back and forth.
I am also in the same boat I'm on 4.0.3 and just got the update notification. I had updated as soon as I got my tablet but I guess that turn out to be the minor update. Now knowing that I am still on ICS. I was curious to know where I can get information about Rooting my tablet. Also if I am on ICS do I need to unlock the bootloaders?

Look in the Dev section for the debugfs method. This method does not require unlocking. This method only works on ICS.

Yea I think I'm going to stick with ics for the time being, is there anyway to stop the firmware update message from popping out or disable it entirely as I would certainly hate to press the install button by mistake when I'm drunk or something lol

Since Jellybean update is just around the corner, can anyone suggest initial steps to be done prior to the said update?
Thanks a lot...
Don't: root, unlock, flash or **** with your TF700 in any way if you're currently on stock and want the update OTA.
Do: wait patiently and regularly check this forum and/or check for firmware update on your TF700.
Rooting may not prevent the update, I took .30 over .26 while rooted and it applied perfectly fine.

Being Rooted is fine. I don't understand why this is still going around about being rooted prevents ota. You can still receive ota updates when rooted. You will actually lose root when you do take the update. Unless you protect your root with voodoo ota rootkeeper.

That is what I thought, but this is my first tablet and my first ASUS, so I didn't want to state definitively that it would not affect the update.
I've had 2 Motorola Android-based smartphones, so I'm familiar with Android in general, but different OEMs do things differently, obviously.

Nope. You can of course download the update from ASUS' website and flash it yourself, but they won't do it for you no more. : )
1. If you are 100% stock - NO problem with OTA.
2.. If you are just rooted - you can download OTA root keeper from the market and perform a temp unroot your device to get ready(if you want to keep root after the update). OTA should work fine. After the update some people may have to REroot.
3. If you have unlocked bootloader with root or without root, you will NOT able to do OTA update. Once you unlocked your bootloader, OTA no longer works and NO you can't RElocked your bootloader to take OTA. You will have to manually perform the update. There will be plenty of instruction how to do once JB is out.
Hope it's clear for everyone.
4. If you have custom rom, definitely NO OTA update and you don't want OTA update anyway. Just wait for a new official JB custom rom or update manually.
Is it really necessary to enable disabled applications beforehand or it's just another Android myth??

I would err on the side of caution and enable all. Then do a cold boot. Only then, do you do the update. After the update, disable the apps. Then cold boot again. :good:

So if I'm running the Zues custom rom now, once the official jellybean hits I can download manually from ASUS website and flash in TWRP?
Yes you can flash official firmwares with TWRP, though it has been stated there may be some issues with TWRP until they get it recompiled using the new kernel source.
how-to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755576
yeah flashing the update with twrp is ok (i think) but then just stick with stock recovery until twrp is updated. No idea if cwm is the same way... guess we should read up in the tf300 forum.
Uninstall ezoverclock. Don't think it works on the infinity anyway, but i had it installed since i used it on the prime. The 300 forum indicated that it will cause bootloops.

Don't: Update right away.
Do: Wait for a few days, people will post the good and the bad of this update and you can decide whether to update or not.
Hello there! I had seen this guide here on XDA and was wondering if it were possible to restore to stock even if I had updated to .30 and then flashed this. Would it be easier to simply place the update file on the root and use the manual install method since this is basically stock with slight mods? I am using TWRP btw, and I wanted to know if this would work. With the JB update coming in a few days I really would like to prepare. And this seems to be the best way (via OTA) no? Thanks!
Your already unlocked. You won't be able to receive ota firmware updates. Best thing to do is wait for the devs to bring it to the unlocked community. They are pretty speedy about it you won't be waiting long.

I'll add to that...they are ready to pounce on the tf700-specific files and what we'll get out of it will far surpass the OTA. At least this has been my experience so far.

Thank you very much. I guess my basic question was would this method still work even after flashing .30 then changing to the ROM I posted about above. But what you're saying is it's not worth it?
Well we've already heard the great new TF700's gonna be getting JB within 72hrs. Now here comes this maybe stupid question since Im a noob , will we be able to keep our root by using like Voodoo OTA rootkeeper after such a major update, or we have to wait for a new root tool?
How are we supposed to know before its released?
Wait until someone confirms OTA Doorkeeper works. I'm going to give it a try when I get the update. No one can really tell unless the app doesn't support JB

Since TF300 has already got it's JB update, does anyone know if rootkeeper works on that one after the update?

We heard some news that TF300 after upgraded to JB able to keep root, so we believe we should able to...but for our TF700, only time will tell!
Or if you have an unlocked bootloader you could simply keep using what you have and wait for a day or two(i know its hard) and the awesome devs of this community will have a rooted rom out based on the new JB Update. The roms out now based off of ICS and the TF300 JB are already great. It wont take long to get the little bugs squashed with official source. just my humble opinion.
In order to keep root with the TF300T JB OTA you had to use SuperSU and Voodoo together. Others staying with Superuser and Voodoo lost root. Make sure you check the keep root function in SuperSU's settings though before starting the update. Also worked with the 4.1.1 update last night.

how exactly they both work together? since I haven't used SuperSU before so any detail would be helpful.
Is that I just toggle ON SuperSU's OTA survival mode before the OTA, and restore the root by using Voodoo after the OTA?

seriously we won't know anything until it is released.
if you want root don't accept any update until you hear from the devs that it is safe.
