This is the Stock 8.6.5.13 US update repackaged with:
* Clockworkmod support (It does not include CWM, but doesn't reflash the recovery partition either)
* Rooted (includes SuperUser.apk & su 3.0.0)
* Busybox (1.19.2)
This update worked fine on my TF101. I built it using the same method Roach2010 used to make his previous CWM-repacks so it should be ok. I have only tested this on my own tf101. Let us know when it works for yours too!
This will not work unless you have:
1. clockworkmod
2. STOCK firmware (root is fine)
3. the US or WW firmware
4. firmware 8.6.5.9
If this update will not apply, take note of which assert stopped the process. You probably applied some sort of mod to your transformer.
There was an issue in the initial release. If you downloaded it, delete it and download the new one.

The Update checker will verify all of the same files that the update verifies. It will not stop on the first error. This way, you can see ALL the files which will cause errors and fix them all at once without the tedious reboot / try update / reboot / fix problem / reboot / try update loop.

Seems you didn't edit the update-script to remove that check. Either way let me know how it goes. I made myself an cwm zip that I used to update my TF this afternoon. I didn't bother to add in SU seeing as though the update is just a patch and the TF should already be rooted.
@daoist If your new update.zip doesn't work let me know I'll upload mines and you can post it.
Hi,
I am still pretty new to all of this, I have rooted my TF, right now I have a US ver 8.6.5.9 rooted with CWM and I am getting the notification to update firmware.
Is this the file I need to update my TF and keep root, it looks to me like it is but I am not 100% sure, also I am not sure how to apply the patch.
To apply this do I use CWM? The step[s I think I need to do is
1. copy the file top my SD card,
2. Boot to CWM
3. choose install zip
4. pick the zip downloaded from this thread
5. then watch and make sure works, then reboot
OH, I have the netflix patch (libnvomx) file copied over the original in my TF, should I put the original back before trying ng this?
Is this correct?
thanks for any help and the file!!

You referring to the check that goes through and looks for mods and missing apps? Is it possible someone could upload a version that doesnt run that check? I replaced SustemUI and basically deleted everything I didnt need (and didnt back up individual files, just made a full backup) so it would take me a while to track down all of the APKs.
If I recall someone posted the .9 update without the check for the existing apps.
EDIT: I actually found a backup for my stock apps and copied all of them back over and its still failing. AWS.odex, first one (and its installed).

Yep, that's correct.
One note is because of how the TF handles storage, you want this in your /Removable/microSD. If you put it in /sdcard it's not actually in your sdcard.
When you reboot into CWM make sure to choose to pick a file from your sdcard, rather than just applying update.zip (in case you didn't actually name it update.zip)

The problem with removing the check is that this update is doing patching, rather than replacing files.
If you're just replacing files, you can skip the checks and it will work fine.
If you're patching files, if you skip the check, the patching process will not work (best case scenario). will leave your system in a quasi-updated state (middle case), or destroy the target file (worst case).
Maybe someone who's still on 8.5.6.9 can post their AWS.odex file for you to copy onto your device?
The issue is I have it back on my device, I found it, and the update is still hanging on that.

Hi,
Thanks for the help! It worked like a charm, no problems at all.
I am wondering now, do I need to update my CWM recovery, or do I just leave it how it is?
thanks for the file and help!!!
Now I just have to figure out how to get rid of the notification...
Has anyone noticed the web browser performance? Is it still checkerboard on display? Where it displays the page in chunks... and is this android 3.2.1? or just firmware update?
Worked fine on mine, Thx.

Would it be possible to remove the check and the patch? I am looking at the updater script, what I would love is to just remove its check and attempt at patching the bloatware.
For Example, the Check:
assert(apply_patch_check("/system/app/Finsky.apk", "19a70336522820f20a9e1d9f065ae56a714aa7cf", "690dc80af4303cb2df1991de9d52c269211e1dcf"));
set_progress(0.116486);
assert(apply_patch_check("/system/app/Finsky.odex", "fda5fbff54fc6c35b9210afd4a3b76b6a8862d83", "59412510a7d0a789b1e732dbffdc9feb3245e964"));
set_progress(0.119390);
And the Update:
apply_patch("/system/app/Finsky.apk", "-",
19a70336522820f20a9e1d9f065ae56a714aa7cf, 1070527,
690dc80af4303cb2df1991de9d52c269211e1dcf, package_extract_file("patch/system/app/Finsky.apk.p"));
set_progress(0.135043);
apply_patch("/system/app/Finsky.odex", "-",
fda5fbff54fc6c35b9210afd4a3b76b6a8862d83, 655760,
59412510a7d0a789b1e732dbffdc9feb3245e964, package_extract_file("patch/system/app/Finsky.odex.p"));
set_progress(0.138224);
If I didnt want it to update finksy (bad example but just one I grabbed) could I just delete everything above from the script? In the case of something like Zinio I dont even want the update since I nixed the underlying app.
I actually tried something like that but it failed immediately, no error. Im wondering if I havent zipped it up right.
Yeah, if you search through the update script for the name of the file that's erroring out, there's 2 places. First the assert, then the patch. Get rid of both and you're fine.
I'd google what those files are before you remove them from the script, just to be safe.
Just for example, Finsky is part of Market
Im wondering if there is something I am doing wrong or if there is a trick to zipping it back up. I tried removing those lines (for AWS, not Finsky ) and the update failed without an error (just aborted).
Im wondering, should I be leaving that set progress, zipping using a particular method?
The biggest problem I had was making sure the files were saved with unix line-endings. If you edited it in notepad or something like that it may have defaulted to windows line-endings.

- Get Razorclaw and install it, no root needed.
- Get the recovery installer and do the same.
- Check your version info. You'll see a pair of letter which are like the "WW", "UK", "US" pairs in the various update files. It appears, at least when I was trying to do this, that you cannot use unmatched pairs (I don't know about the "WW" one, since I started with US and (accidentally) went to .13 US version).
- Follow the instructions regarding downloading the .13 update (WW version and/or whatever letter pair your tablet uses, in case the WW doesn't work). Unzip, slap on external SD, power off, power on with down volume, volume up to go to recovery, bang. Done.
- Do the same thing with the megaupload file (.19). The second option did fix the problem I had, which was trying to update to a WW.19 firmware from a US.13 - DO THE DOUBLE FILE/RENAME TRICK. It works perfectly.
- Run razorclaw, run recovery installer, and gloat.
Seriously, now knowing how the paired-letters-not-compatible-with-other-letters thing works, the whole process would take maybe 10-15 minutes tops. Thanks for the post!
update. Success does seem to vary and some people have managed to make this work with a different SD and other variations. If my method or Trip's doesn't work for you have a look at some of the tweaks that other guys have used. If you did something different and it works let us know. Thanks.
I have a UK transformer and I lost root after the OTA 8.6.5.21 update. Yes, should have checked before applying.
Wasn't able to root with NVFlash so I downloaded http://www.multiupload.com/X65RBVD2MB the 8.6.6.19 file that was posted by Lizard here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393953&page=3
I unzipped it until I had the WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip file. I placed this on the root directory of the external SD card and when I rebooted it gave me the option to install.
This installed OK so I just re-ran Razorclaw and sorted. I have superuser back.
Warnings and all. This would seem to be the US update but is working fine on my UK B70 (presumably SBK2 pad). I've installed CWM and backed up too. No promises that this won't destroy your pad/steal your gal or boy/shoot your dog.

That was formatted with NTFS.Tried another microSD in FAT32, just copied the WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip file and VOILA', all worked flawlessy (method 1).
Step by step
1) Download http://www.multiupload.com/X65RBVD2MB
2) Unzip so you have just have WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip. Keep this zipped and copy to root of external micro SD.
3) Reboot with card in place, don't enter recovery.
4) When it booted back into the OS I had a triangle in the notification bar. I clicked this and it offered to install the update.
5) After tab updated as usual I just re-ran Razorclaw and I had root back.
Update. trippmcnealy had success with a tweak to this. If it doesn't work you might want to follow his method.
1) Download http://www.multiupload.com/X65RBVD2MB
2) Unzip so you have just have "WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip". Keep this zipped and copy to root of external SD.
3) Put another copy of the same file on your external SD card and name it "EP101_SDUPDATE.zip"
4) Put both files "EP101_SDUPDATE.zip" and "WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip" on the root of your internal SD card.
5) Power down your TF
6) Power up into recovery - by pressing the power button and volume down button. Then press volume up when instructed by the screen.
7) You should now see the Android guy with some gears turning. This is good, actually this is GREAT! This will go on for a minute or so and then the device will reboot on its own. It will then go to the boot screen and you should see a bar showing you the progress of the update.
8) Once it has completed, install RazorClaw and root your device.
Tips from Baseballfanz
For those not able to get it working, a few things to check.
1-Make sure you actually extract the WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip within the zip. Inside the file you download is an Asus folder, inside that is an Update folder, inside that is the WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip file you'll be working with.
2-When renaming, if your PC is set to "hide known extension", you'll not see the .zip so if you type in .zip you'll get filename.zip.zip The file manager on the TF should show you the extension
3-Make sure it's on the root of the sd card and not within any folder.
4-Check spelling of files
WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip EP101_SDUPATED.zip
5-Micro sd card is in FAT32 format. Try a different card or format again (after saving your stuffs)
6-File manager on the TF sdcard is internal and Removable/MicroSD is the external sd card.
Suggestions
It would be useful for people to report info with posts about success or not. What SBK, serial number (B70 etc) and current firmware are you on? I'm no dev but hopefully we can make things easier for others.

Ah, this seems interesting! I also have a uk transformer and will give it a go.
So you don't need anything else but stock? I will try this now, and does it wipe your data? Used asus backup just in case.
Cool
Hi,
thanks for the info. As far as I know the WW-version is not US only, but should match the version you have (you can check that in the settings/about tablet).
As far as I know WW stands for WorldWide and actually means US and (most of) Europe. There are special versions for Taiwan, Germany and Canada though...
I will try this later with my transformer (bought in switzerland) - i should work!
Regards, Thomas
Yeah I was thinking that. It comes with all the country files anyway.
I tried this a couple of days ago and it didn't work, turns out I unzipped the wrong file.
Unzip the .19 update to the root of your sdcard and reboot the transformer if it doesn't detect the update.
Now I haz root.

So external or internal? And just reboot or recovery? Vol down+power then vol up? Thanks, sorry for the questions!
Hi there,
I unzipped to external and rebooted with the card in place. I didn't use recovery. The OS detected the update and offered to install. Just proceeded from there.
I mentioned the US update as the file is 8.6.6.19 not 8.6.5.19
Good luck.
I'm still getting the dreaded triangle when trying this fix, any suggestions?
Hi Samuel
Can you talk us through what you did and your setup? I'm no expert but hopefully we can find out what's awry.
Nice 1 m8. Do yo think this will work with B40 model? Where in leeds are you from? I in pudsey.
Should this work with the TF101G (B90 / DE / 8.6.6.10) too?

The honeycomb upgrading 'droid is so cool! I think its working fine!
If anyone could make a Uk one, that would be great. I am thinking the reason why this is working is because of the increase in firmware numbers, from x.x.5 to x.x.6.
Hi Seg2012
Only tried on mine until others can update to say it worked. You should be able to root with NVFlash though.

My Asus tf is HTK7.WW.EPAD-8.6.521-20111216 any help would most appreciated.

Same problem here. Unzipped the file from the asus website. After unzipping is still contains one zip file. Stored this zip file in root of tablet (and later tried with root of SD card). Rebooted tablet, but no notification of new update.
edit: contacted Asus support. They suggested me to do a factory reset and try again. Seems a bit harsh to me, because then I'll lose all my data.

what did you do to get this to work? My update keeps failing
here are the steps (I have a US version tablet; for other country, you may just substitute US to WW / JP / TW accordingly.)
1. download the file from ASUS website, so i got "TF300T_US_epaduser_10_6_1_8_SDupdate.zip"
2. Unzip the download file, then I got "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip"
3. Rename the "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip" to "US_epad-user-10.6.1.8.zip", and save it to the root of micro SD
4. insert the micro SD to your tablet, you should see the icon pop up on the right corner down the bottom saying update file detected.
Asus has a guide for TF201, but the process is the same

I tried the process, but the tablet simply ignored the update. I am currently on 10.6.1.8, but support said reapplying this update would clear the HDMI audio out issue. Below is the conversation with Asus.
om loganI recently upgraded my tablet to the latest OTA and now do not have HDMI audio out. I have tried a factory reset, but nothing works. Can I revert back to the previous release?
Jheanell J.I am sorry to hear that you’re having this issue. I will be more than happy to assist you.
Sure, we can try a hard reset of your tablet
This would be done through a digfferent method
tom loganI have already done a hard reset and it did not solve anything. How do I make the HDMI audio out work>?
Jheanell J.Was it the option in the settings that you used for the reset?
tom loganI tried both from the option settings and through using the volume controls to get into a different menu.
Jheanell J.Thank for for the clarification, wanted ensure we covered all the steps
tom loganIs there a way to roll back this upgrade to the previous level in which everything worked?
Jheanell J.A roll back would be done through the reset
Your tablet would return to the state it was when just bought
tom loganA reset simply takes it to the factory specifications of the current level of the OS from the OTA update. Otherwise, after a reset I would be at ICS which I am not.
Jheanell J.What is your current build number?
tom logan10.6.1.8.20130225
Jheanell J.Thank you
Your OTA update is 4.2.2?
tom logan24.2.1
4.2.1
Jheanell J.Are you using the tablet now or another pc
I want to give you the latest firmware compatible with 4.2.1
tom loganI am on a pc
What is the process to update the firmware other than OTA? My tablet is still locked.
Jheanell J.Do you have an sd card in ntfs format?
tom loganyes

tom loganOnce I save it to the sd card what is the process?
Jheanell J.Ensure the file is extracted , once you insert the card in the tablet the tablet will pick up that a firmware update is available and will execute after you tap on it
tom loganWill this erase any data?
Jheanell J.No this will not erase any of your data

Been searching all over and this thread is the closest i can find. I too want to update to 4.2.2 as I am on 4.2.1. Can anyone link me to the file i need? I dont see it on the asus site other than firmware. Im still locked, non rooted and have long given up hope of unlocking. But i should at least be able to update without calling them for help. I have done it once before but cant find the thread here that posted the link.
Thanks.
I have an issue with wifi and bluetooth not working, so am trying to reinstall the last update.
Current build number is JOP40D.WW_epad-10.6.1.21.1-20130711
I have downloaded the latest WW Firmware from Asus
Formatted Micro SD to Fat 32
Extracted firmware to micro SD root (still a zip file, called WWW_epad-user-10.6.1.21.1.zip)
Switch off TF300T
Insert Micro SD
Switch on+volume down
Select RCK (it's the first option so is already selected)
Volume Up
-screen shows "Installing system update"
-screen switches to "Error!"
So am I missing something or can someone help?
Hello peoples.
I just found this out from T-Mobile Website.
Android version 4.4.2
Build number C2GUMG1
Your phone can update to build number C2CUMC3:
Starting November 4, 2015, you may be prompted to update automatically (OTA).
That was only a few days ago. Someone has to have a phone that's not updated yet.

We need that update desperately
We can use it to fix Boot looped phones due to corrupting the ROM.
We can use it to potentially build a modified stock rom that will flash.
I know from the recovery.log in the Cache folder that the update zip will be downloaded to ".download" folder. Do notice the " ." it means its a hidden folder. You can view in linux pressing. ctrl - H.
Root Browser or es-file explorer might be able to see the hidden folder.
download the update but pull the battery so it dont install.
Copy that sucker.
Im pretty sure it deletes the update after it installs.
Also maybe safer I have seen people use ADB and start logcat to get the actual download url.
Please someone do this. If i can get my phone back up im working on building a rom.
Here is a thread on how to get the ota update for nexus. I think we can do the same.

Did you ever get the OTA?
Hey Guys,
Im running my Honor 8 EMUI 4.1 FRD-L09C432B120. The device is rooted. Now I get that permanent notification to update on FRD-L09C432B131. I would like to update, but dont know how. After that I would like to update on Android 7 and EMUI 5.0 and root my device again or even not. Dont know yet.
The problem is, that I couldnt find a step by step manual or tutorial how to get the things done. I dont want to crash my device or lost any data, settings or customizations. I hope someone can help me or send me a link. Thank you so far.

Hi
It is not hard to do the update, and if you follow step by step it will nothing happen and nothing will crash
But since you want to update to Android Nougat 7 and want to have the EMUI 5 you can do it in two different way
First way and maybe very noob friendy and maybe the way to do it if you dont care about the latest possible Nougat 7
That would be in this way
Do it over the phone settings
Just do the given update to MM B131
And it will do the update to B131 and dont need to worry anything
After that one it should give you also an update over the phone settings to B360 wich is nougat android 7
BUT maybe it will give you just a newer version like B380 depanding on the region
For me it updated to B360
This way all you need to do is just check for updates in the phone settings and click on update the phone
After you do the update to Nougat android 7 and EMUI 5 it is recommended to do after that an factory reset
The factory reset you do also from the phone settings and it will wipe all of your data
So do a back up on your PC or on the SD card of your files
The apps you will have to reinstall from play store..
The second way I would recommend to you only if you care to have the very latest nougat wich is B381
If you want the latest like the B381 than you can save your self the trouble to update over the phone settings
Just do this
Download from this post there is an link given to mega uploads
Go to this post and download the latest B381
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72183284&postcount=46
When you have downloaded the latest firmware couse you want the very latest
Then extract the ZIP you have downloaded
You will get two ZIP files inside of the big one
Then create on the microSD card one folder with the name dload
Then do some more unzipping
First unzip the update.zip file and put it in the created dload folder on the SD card
You will have to put 3 files in that folder...
Look at the picture in the attachment how the files look like..
After you have moved the 3 files from update.zip to sd card
Dial this in you phone dialer
*#*#2846579#*#*
It will open one new window and than select firmware upgrade
Then select from sd card
It will ask you if you are sure than select yes and it will take few minutes like 6-7 minutes
And it will flash the first 3 files that you copied to the sd card..
The phone will restart from it self
Then delete all the files you have firstly moved to dload folder
Now when it is empty unzip the other full ota ZIP file
It will also give you 3 files like the first time
Like the first time move them to sd card to dload folder
Then again do the dial with the same process again
Select firmware upgrade
Then from SD card
Then select yes I am sure to install from the sd card
Now it will take less time to do the install
After you do this two installs you should do a factory reset
It usally help to fix some bugs wich can or dont have to be after a firmware update
But usally it is recommended to do it..
That would be that..
Just look the picture what files to have in the dload folder not to get confused
If this helps hit Thanks
If you unsure of something ask again
Will help again
thank you for that extensive answer.

But what about the unlocked bootloader, xposed, etc.? Can I just click update with a rooted device?
No. It won't work.
You'll have to flash the stock recovery.
And magisk and such won't work after.
The easiest way is to reflash stock recovery, do all the updates over OTA, and then re-root.
