I just checked the Android version of my EEE Transformer and it's 3.0.1. Is this the latest version? If not, is there a way to 'force' an update or do I have to wait for it to be rolled out?

Not the latest.
3.1 is the one some people have upgraded to. The official release is due sometime next week
How did they update if it hasn't been released yet? Thanks!
It was leaked. Check out the "here's honeycomb 3.1" thread or pretty much any thread with "3.1" in the title. Can't help but wonder how youbmissed those threads though
I don't need a signature.

Hey guys,
My Transformer is set to arrive shortly, and I've noticed that even the Asus reps have recommended not installing the OTA update. However, I have also read that you can only turn the update down three times before the system forces it. So what's the best solution for those of us who haven't taken the device out of the box yet?
(Also, I understand methods have been discussed in other threads, but I couldn't find them via search. I also didn't want to "hijack" the Bricked Transformer thread. Perhaps this could be a central thread for advice for folks just getting their Transformers now.)

I was wondering the same thing about the updates and potential for bricking. My transformer is arriving today. Where did you read that the AUS reps said not to install the updates?

A guy called "Rich" (here) and a developer called "Eric Liu" (here). Both purport to be from Asus and I see no reason to believe they're lying.
I'm hearing reports that the update might have been pulled. Can anyone with an older stock device confirm that?
Thanks!

If no one else beats me to it, I'd be glad to share my experience out of the box tonight. However, even if they pulled the latest update, I imagine there's a chance it might want to update to the previous (safe) one. So two questions: #1 - Can I tell what version of OTA the device wants to install prior to installing it? #2 - If it wants to install the latest OTA, how can I prevent it from doing so? (Without installing a non-stock ROM.)
Just got this OTA 8.2.3.13 and I was wondering what improvements came with it?

There is already a thread dedicated to firmware updates:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041502
It bricked my dock. It seems to be frozen and I don't know what to do.
This is in the wrong section, try posting in General.
Hi!
I'm interested in that question, because maybe it will be the same for the 3.1 Euro Update. Then it would be possible to use the tun.ko, provided for the 3.1 US.

No. US devices get updates from Google, everyone else gets updates from Moto (if you're on official software). So they're by definition going to be different.
I just spoke with Acer concerning the US release of Jelly Bean for the US A700.
The Acer representative stated that "the Jelly Bean update is still being tested". He went on to say that when it will be available as an OTA update when it officially releases (duh). No time frame for release was given...

In other words...."Dude... I don't know diddly..... why you calling me asking this?" "Of course we are going to give you some stupid excuse. What did you want us to say?"
Welcome to Acer....
Heck, they still haven't put out, Ahem...... JB KERNEL SOURCE for the 701! And...... They know it is against GPL. Hear that ACER? Non GPL compliant.
JB isn't being tested. It's ready and has been. They just have a schedule (to wait for issues from other OTA's). Just be patient.

I thought under GPL they had like 180 days to post source? I know there are a few vendors that push it to the end.

My guess is that they've pushed the JB update to a small group of guinea pigs... I mean users... to find major issues before a wider release.
Update is likely still in "Beta" form and not ready for general release.

Generally, they should push it upon release.
In the case of 501 HC, they pushed it about 9 months afterwards. Fortunately, there wasn't a lot of differences in the kernel source, so devs could make modified kernels.
A lot of this, has to do with "branded" 501 models. Although it has nothing to do with the kernel source.
I will say, Acer did a lot by allowing unlocked bootloader. Kudo's Acer. However, they put a super-brick bug in the kernel/bootloader source. Which means, when you flash a certain amount of times, your tab may brick itself.
So far, we have found a couple of things. But I am sure there are more. Guess Acer likes to have more repairs. Costing them money.
But the bugs will be found. They always are.

I've triggered the update twice today by upgrading my software from 1.029 to 1.057... If your not on 1.057 then chances are your not getting it for now.
Last few posts here for reference.

Thanks for the info. My firmware is even lower than the ones you mentioned above - I'm still on 1.017.
I wonder why the tab isn't updating to a newer version?
1.057 Necessary for JB in United States

At 1.017, you appear to be on the original ICS release of Android for the A700- that's old! Is that by choice? If not, there's definitely something weird about this.
I was the one who got frustrated with no update from 1.029, and messed around with trying to update to 1.057 and found that it worked. I passed that along to bidniss in the other thread on this forum, and via Itchee, et. al. word appears to be getting out now.
I started out rooted with CWM 6.0.1.4 on Build # 1.057, knowing that you can't get an OTA update in that state. So I unrooted and re-locked bootloader by flashing stock 1.029 (because stock 1.057 wouldn't work to unroot). It seemed kind of screwy to me that when I checked for an update from 1.029 it told me I was "up to date". Even if JB was NOT yet available I should have been prompted to update to 1.057, I would have thought. That's why I decided to install the stock 1.057 on my own. Lo and behold, the minute I did it I was prompted for the JB update!
It seems if you fall behind in updates, Acer is not too friendly about helping you get caught up?
I've only had my A700 for a little over 1 week, and I've not been offered any OTA update. I've been checking manually 20 - 50 times a day and I keep getting the "your device is up to date" message...
I have a gbox q2 that hasn't worked in months correctly. There is a new firmware update out that might fix several of my problems, but I can't fine the update anyplace. The Matricom site is of no use and the forum that has the update has been down for days now. My question is does anyone know where I can find the update? One other thing is can the q2 be updated from 5.1.1 to 6.0 os. Thanks for any help and sorry if I have posted in the wrong place.
no update

Dude, there is no such update to android 6.0...
The latest firmware can be found here url deleted*
Although with Matricoms previous for completely cocking up firmware updates, coupled with the fact that their forum is down for weeks, I wouldn't be too surprised if it was no help at all.
*Seems I'm not allowed to post you a link
Look on the Matricom wiki
I have several gboxes, just good memories I guess..
