[Q] How can I force an OTA update? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got a replacement device and accidentally cancelled the update. Now when I check it says im up to date

Did you already try settings, about tablet, system update?

you can force it by heading over to the dev section, rooting your transformer and flashing prime v1.1 so you don't brick your device.
Asus pulled the update due to devices getting bricked.

DONT update.
Some are getting bricked and there is a forum post waiting for further recommendations.

Im on hols at the moment, away from my PC but will definitely root when in back home.
Just needed to get rid of some of the lag there's at least one FOTA available for this device.

This. I'm not sure if there has been any confirmation, but i'm pretty sure myself and a couple of others finally got them to pull the update.

You're all great warning me off updating
But is there an actual answer to my question?

The answer is exactly what A Naked Emo said, but the firmware has been pulled from the update server, so until they put out a fix you will have to wait, and technically you have the latest version available at this time.

A few hours after I connected to WiFi for the first time My transformer told me there was an update ready to install. I accidentally cancelled the notification. In stuck with the laggy Spanish text version
I guess ill have to be patient. Although its a long weekend with it in this state

Update?

Decided to check for updates and there finally appeared to be one so I started the download & it took about 10mins or less then it asked to install so I hit ok then it said it would restart the phone. I was excitedfor about 10 seconds until I noticed everything was still the same and it said no update was applied at this time... Was this an official update n if so is there a way to apply it without having to wait on the 24hr update timer?

Sorry to say but I don't know much users here who use the stock 2.1 Eclair unless they are returning their phones. As much as I know, everyone here hates how Samsung and AT&T leave their customers out in the cold for updates and any information on upcoming updates. Maybe someone else here will give you an answer hopefully.

Go to your Settings/applications/all and clear cache for I believe is the dm app....them reboot and you should be able to check again.
Sorry I can't tell you exactly but I'm not running stock.

got it thanks. its re-downloading now. i figure its updating to the old Build Number ECLAIR.UCJH7 because since i reset a few days back, getting rid of a rom I noticed it just says Build Number: ECLAIR
and my baseband version is I897UCJF6. used to be ucjh7
You must have been excited, seeing how you posted to XDA that there's an update before you knew what was what...

Date at the top of that is 11/02/2011.
On a side note, the middle section where it says, "If you have downloaded & upgraded previously with Kies Mini, an automatic update to build 11011_4 may occur." I just started Mini Kies and it updated to 11014_6 so maybe there is something to it.
For some reason, link is not showing any information. Any idea?

Someone at Samsung realized people were getting excited again, and the update isn't coming out anytime soon. Just a guess though.

Man...
Still failed install after the download over the air. so i did it through kies mini and it was .ucjh7
I wouldnt have gotten so excited if i paid attention to my notes that i had ucjh7 pre-flash and just "eclair" post factory default reset. Yet somehow still had a glimmer of hope that 2.2 would update after ucjh7, assuming one has to be installed b4 the other/in order. Sort of annoying the link was taken down about the Q/A on 2.2 being available. I just clicked the circle to vote "very dissatisfied" hah
Im still planning to trade mine in for the atrix if its in store by 3/9.. If not, I havent quite decided what other path I will take...

UK 3.1 update help

ive searched loads of threads for this answer but evrything is all over the place and a bit confusing so im just looking for a simple solution, can i get the uk update at all, i updated to the us leak and would like to have the uk update now since its available but dont know how to get it, i am unrooted
thanks in advance
I think you might have to wait until its released on the uk asus page to manually flash it, I could be wrong though!
ah thats cool then mate, i will wait until i can grab it, thanks for your help
or you can
- get the uk V8.2.3.13 rom from asus support
- extract the zip, rename the extracted zip file to EP101_SDUPDATE.ZIP to root of external sd card
- then power off
- vol down+power on
- vol up to start flashing the uk V8.2.3.13 rom
now you back in blighty the notification should be available to update to 3.1 honeycomb. that's how i did it.
This maybe the only option avaialbe, because I think that official method as described on asus support will only allow update with same geography. (empahsis on 'I think')
good luck!
Nice one mate will give that a try

tried that but its just coming up the android man holding an exlamation mark
sorry, I not at home now, so don't have the names of the files from asus support site to compare for you.
I think I remember the official extracted file was had a '.zip.zip' ending. make sure to it's just .zip - use a file manager on the tablet
This is the same procedure as I used to get onto the leaked us rom onto my uk tab. Expecting we are now dowgrading to official UK 3.0 from asus support
the original and possibly clearer instruction are here: http://forum.androidcentral.com/asus-eeepad-transformer/88744-transformer-3-1-update-here.html
Its the same way I got the leaked one on too but can't seem to get it to work on for this

checkout this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102209
where others had luck downgrading. Also Specifically post #16, the guy mentions possibly there are zips within zips... which may help you.
thanks mate, tried all that but its still giving me the same android guy with exclamation mark, will just have to keep the us opne for the time being i think
just checking, is the ww version uk or is there a uk version, i cant see a uk one so i got the ww, migth be me been a complete idiot lol
got it working, i was being stupid and renaming it to EP101_SDUPDATE.ZIP instead of just renaming the zipto EP101_SDUPDATE.
thanks for all your help, this forum rocks !
Lolz, glad u got sorted!

lol i wish i never, now i keep getting a force close error
I did the same thing - downgraded as described above from the leaked US 3.1 rom to the 3.01 WW rom from the Asus website. After that I did a factory reset to get it clean. No force closes aftdr that.
I now am back on 3.01 WW build but when I check for a system update I am told there is not one available. Do Asus stagger the updates? I have seen other posts saying they can't see an update.

no. I downgraded on monday, in anticipation of getting the update on tues/weds. I only acutally upgraded this morning when i clocked the 'tracker' thread that some uk peeps were getting theirs via manual check.
are you really back to 3.0?... check interweb settings is alright?... remove any roms on int/ext sd cards?.... did the manual check?... not sure what else to try really....
I justice twenty back to the us one will just leave it at that for now

I got a replacement TF today as the screen on the last one refused to turn on after leaving it off for a while. Completely dead even though the alarm kept going off at 5am(annoying).
Anywho I got the replacement and I have had no notifications about an update. I have just manually updated it to the .13 one and still nothing OTA.
I'm in the UK too. Hope they upload it to their severs soon so I can just do it by sd card again.

jellybean update failed...now what

I looked for and found a similar thread but it became too garbled. I downloaded and attempted to install the jb update. The update failed and i can't get another try. When i do the manual update Im told no updates are available. The only thing i remember changing was the build.prop tweaks. Naturally i made a backup of the file first. I've restored the original version of build.prop however, i still cant get the OTA update.
Can someone help me out.

We may be screwed. Aparntly Asus blocks OTA updates after a failed attempt. I have been trying all day with no luck.
Going to call Asus tomorrow and see if they can help me out some.

I spoke with Asus support and the asked that I be patient and if it doesnt come again via ota, i will have to manually install it from their website. What I find intesting is that the support person said that it's NOT asus releasing JB, it's Google/Android. This was the second time I had heard that comment.

Anyone else got Firmware Update 10.4.4.23?

Busy with nothing I simply pressed the button to check firmware update for my TF700T. Then a notif came up telling me to install an update. After a temporary unroot I did what it said, and now I'm running Firmware 10.4.4.23-20121127, mine is WW. Root restored without any issue after rebooting.
Can't really see any changes (yet), probably have to dig deeper.

I've just installed mine but have not seen any difference. Maybe preparing the way for 4.2?
Could anyone upload the dlpkgfile for ww??

I did an Antutu benchmark, before update I was getting about 13300 or so, now I am getting 14400. I also think they have unlocked 1700 mghz for all cores except power saving obviously.
Got the update too, nothing too obvious seems to have changed.....
And I forgot to backup the dlpkgfile, sorry @geri.st

Just noticed the 1700 mhtz being available again. Otherwise I dont see any noticeable difference either. There's still lag and choppiness as .20

Yes lag and choppiness in stock browser still very much present.
Do we really need another thread for this
For me this is the greatest update so far. Tablet is much faster and did not find any bugs yet. Prevented me from unlocking for some more time.

You haven't seen the performance of Cleanrom and Clemsyn kernel yet. I ran the .23 version and it's no where near the performance of the Cleanrom/clemsyn combo. I went back to stock just to see the .23 perfornace, but after one day, I'm back on Cleanrom/Clemsyn kernel.

From what I've read I truly believe in you. The problem is that I didn't use NVFlash when possible (had already updated the bootloader) and I don't want to risk unlocking and flashing ROM's for now. The tablet is not sold in my country and if I brick it I wouldn't be able to repair nor to buy a new one.
I am not a newbie on flashing ROM's in general because I still own a HD2 but I do know there are risks on the process.
Thus, I will probably wait for the 4.2 update to decide between unlocking it or not.

I hear you, you do have a point!
I agree that this update really improved the speed of my tab. Might not be clean rom fast, but it's still warrantied fast
It's a bit faster now. At this rate we'll be fully happy with the speed around April. For me it does what I want it to just fine So what if I have to wait 1 second instead of 0.5 second for an app to open? And the very, very rare (no, I don't get them a lot. once a day, at most.) ANR messages are a whole lot less irritating than the constant "Are you sure" UAC rubbish I deal with daily on W7. (technologically impaired clients. Ugh.)

I, too, am not risking unlocking. While it is for sale here quite regularly and the EU covers warranty concerns, I bought it from a store that's not known for its great customer service (Media Markt, for you dutchies&germans.) and I didn't get a chance to use NVFlash. (By the time I heard about the idea, the first update had already auto installed. ) I'm also generally rather unlucky when it comes to electronics, stuff tends to break. And I need the tablet for work, so I can't afford to have it send out for repair for weeks if I mess up.
@ShadowLea
I have exactly the same problem as you, but Media Markt isn't good for repair?
Must I unfreeze all system apps before the update?

Yes, you must unfreez all system. Any modification to properties (build.props) file also needs to roll back. The device must be in the "stock" condition or update will failed.
