Ok, ive got a slightly different issue.
I just got my Tranmsformer a couple days ago, and when I first powered it on it did an OTA update to I believe .13. I ended up downgrading using this youtube vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzpj9leRawg and am now showing build number: HRI66.WW_epad-8.2.2.6.1-20110325
I tried updating to 8.2.3.9 using this tutorial ( http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Eee...her_SOP_WW.pdf ) but when I put the sd card into the slot, I never get the alert for system update file detected....
So I guess my question is two fold...
A. Is there simple one-file root option for 8.2.2.6 like there is for 8.2.3.9?
B. If not, how in the heck do I get from 8.2.2.6 to 8.2.3.9!? LOL
Thanks!

Hey guys,
I have a problem, which i couldn't solve using the search. Sorry if i was too stupid to search at all
The thing is this:
I have a Nexus S I9020T which i bought as "broken"
It is stuck at the Google logo with the open lock. I thought i could save that device easily but i can't get that thing to work again.
At first: I still have my first android phone here: a Milestone. I had it for a year now and i would say that i flashed pretty much everything to that device. So i know a thing or two about android and flashing. But i have never had a nexus s in my hands before.
So i did this:
I Opened the Bootloader -> success
I flashed a few different CWM recovery -> also no problem here
I flashed a SU_2.3.6.1 which was already on the sdcard and it flashed without an error
I tried to delete all the files of the previous uswer -> at first I could delete all but as soon as i unmount and mount the usb storage, everything is back to the way it was. Means I can't delete or write anything onto the sdcard
Sometimes i have luck and i can write a .zip file to the card but as soon as I try to flash the ROM CWM says : e:can't open /sdcard/***.zip (bad)
so i know, that sometimes the zip files is just... bad. So i downloaded at least 10 different roms. Always the same problem.
I can'T format the SDcard, at every new mount, everything is back to how it was when i got the phone.
I tried to flash with Odin. But the only thing that changed was that i lost the recovery. So i flashed it new and here i am still stuck with that thing
Odin gets stuck while flashing with som PK[][][] thing -> screenshot. Doesn't seem to get further.. so flashin failed... any ideas?
So my question is:
Is there a problem with the SD card?
Is there just a problem with drivers?
Can My Phone be repaired?
Please you guys help me with your knowledge.
I am living in germany and the nexus is bought in the USW at bestbuy in december 2010. Does someone know how the warranty thing is handled for such a scenario?
Thanks a lot guys for even reading my problem.
I would like to know how I'm supposed to deal with this new recent update that pretty much disables my phone every single night from when the pushes started (2-3 days ago?). My phone is currently unusable...
Also, I've searched and searched and I can't seem to find any method to permanently disabling all automatic updates on my rooted HTC Thunderbolt, is this possible? I've tried freezing all bloatware, it still pushes updates on my phone, only it's much more aggressive now. The update gets pushed on my phone at least once a day at night without warning.
Just fyi I am a complete noob and it took me probably something like 5 data wipes and several days of searching, trial & error to get my phone rooted.
-_-
Please halp :/
A fix that I found...
Every day last week I had to factory reset my phone after the update bricked it. I rooted my phone after installing an app and I couldn't find its icon with the four pages of crapware icons Verizon forced down my throat. F' them, and the $30 a month they want now to use my phone as a hotspot or to tether. (Rant off)...I found this fix...
The post I found sayz to use Root Explorer but I used the freely available ES File Explorer. After installing click Menu, Settings. Check off Root Explorer and Mount File System As Writable. Change Home Directory to /.
Browse to /system/etc/security/ and look for the file otacerts.zip and rename it to otacerts.zip.bak. (Long press on file, menu pops up) I did this two days ago and no more updates bricking my phone.
Otacert zip rename
Ok I have the HTC THUNDERBOLT I have an older firmware I needed to be on in order to ROOT my phone anyways I noticed my phone was trying to do an update to latest firmware I immidietly removed battery to prevent update. Why? because I guess I was on old firmware wich save me time I didnt have to downgrade. Ok so I root phone successfuly and I notice update again trying to happen. so I do the same I defer it maximum 5 days. Im assuming renaming to OTACERT.ZIP should prevent this CORRECT? Thats what i just did just not. Im looking for a ROM that has the latest firmware newest radio bloatware removed prerooted update disabled and STOCK! I know most roms have this disabled so ill look later into flashing roms but I really like stock although I havent played around with roms ever I might like one better.
If anyone out their knows. If I flash new rom does radio come with it too? Im concerned because if I dont have the latest one i wont really get 4g. If it does change it im sure I can just reload the radio right?
If the phone would have completed update would I have a bricked phone?
Or just unrooted?
If it where to brick what would be some solutions.
I have just received my second transformer a B70 with a dock straight out of best buy and it has 3.1 installed
My older B60 also came pre installed with 3.1 but as soon as I turned that on it told me there was a fw upgrade available and i've received 2 more since and am now running 3.2
is there some trick to this ? both are US versions btw
Can nobody answer this guys ?
I ran into a similar situation. Go to Asus` website and download the firmware update manually. Extract it, place it on the top level of your micro sd card. Reboot. The update should trigger when booting up.

Great, thanks for the advice, the update didn't trigger at boot but when I got into the OS it notified me that I had an update file ready to install and from there I could enter the FW update
That's how it happened to me, it was RIGHT after it booted up. Symantecs, while booting, right after booting... either way.
Hey guys!
First time posting on this site but I'm hoping you guys can help!
I have a Note 3 N900AUCUEOC2 5.0 Lollipop version.
My ultimate goal is to root my Note 3. Since in the past I have rooted my old phones and love it. But with the Note 3, specially the N900a 5.0 lollipop version, it seems hardest to get accurate root instructions for.
After days of searching over many forums, I came to the conclusion that I need to flash my version (using Odin) Lollipop 5.0 OC2 back to Kitkat 4.4 NC2 and then from there I can use Towel Root to root my device and then upgrade to 5.0 again. So I thought..?
First of all, I backed up all my contacts and apps and everything using Easy Back Up. To my ext SD card an then I removed my ext SD card for safe keeping. Then I downloaded the required (working) Odin N900AUCUCNC2 files. Which was 4 separate files. I then put my phone into Odin Mode and connected to PC and ran Odin with the files selected. Everything went smooth, passed and my phone rebooted.. of course I was expecting a full factory reset with the new version. But when I check the version it says I'm still on 5.0??? And I even tried to fire up Towel Root and it won't even let me go to the site anymore and gives me a 404 error messege. All other sites seem to work tho.
Also to confuse things more, I turned off my phone and put my SD card back in to retrieve my back up and everything else on it. But... there's nothing there! It's complete wiped clean! Which doesn't make sense since I didn't have it inside my phone during the flashing progress.
So now I basically flashed my phone for nothing and lost all my data in the process.
I thought I was more computer savy than this but I guess this one stumped me and I could really use your guys help.
Where did I go wrong and how can I fix it?
does anybody know whats goin on with this issue?...crb9 update keeps getting interruptedand the phone reboots
Mine does the same with brb1, now when I try to update it says I'm up to date
hmm..im also on brb1...wonderr if thats the issue?
I was getting stuck at 24% as well. I did this and it worked for me coming from december 2017 update. I downloaded tje update over wifi. I then turned off wifi and had data going. I plugged the phone into charger and went to settings > software update and the option to continue appeared and I was able to update it no problems. Hope this helps
My father's S8+ is doing the same thing here, gets to 24% and fails. I tried the above method of disabling wifi and charging during install, but that didn't work.
I was about to get a logcat to upload but now it's saying it's up to date when I check for updates. I'm also on version BRB1
i went back to L1...but i dont think thats the issue...mines worked after a similar method...i restarted the phone after it was finished downloading...and it went pass 25%...i was about to give up to...i was like..screw this..completed...feels good...so i guess everyone has their own trick...maybe 1 might work

I had the same issue but worked around it. Here is what I did.
1. Download BQL1 to SD Card and BRB1 to SD Card
2 Odined back to BQK5
3. When it goes to install this it will error out and install bql1. from SD Card
4. Installed BRB1 from SD Card
5. Did OTA update to Oreo.
It is kinda of a pain but it did work for me.
Good Luck

Whe you say you downloaded, where did you get your downloaded versions? I am not rooted, does this matter?

Sorry for the confusion.. I downloaded the BQK1 from a link found on this post. This download contained the files to use with Odin.
I believe that I got the other files from the Samsung Website.
I don't believe that rooting would be a problem but I am not rooted so I can't answer that with 100% certainty.

No confusion. Just wanted clarification. I'm not rooted, neither are you. I'll find the pay your referring to and try myself.
I flashed my phone with G955USQS2BQL1 and it updated just fine. It even did the March security update after the Oreo update.
