I heard that the 3.1 update is out for the transformer but I am not seeing it as an available update.... do I have to manually do this or should the tablet see it as an update and automatically update?

They're pushing it out in waves, so far it seems like it's mainly been Asia. You can, however, find and download the update yourself from the internet and initiate the update yourself if you care that much/search a little around the internet. I'll try to find the link that I used

This is probably the wrong forum for this post though. This would probably be better posted in Transformer General or Transformer Development
I received the transformer yesterday afternoon and I got the update this morning when I awoke. You should receive it this morning if you have not already

I purchased a Transformer yesterday which will be my second one. I returned the first one. Wondering why I have not received the 3.1 update on new device. The first one updated over night. Anyone have any idea what the time frame is for the 3.1 update? I have a full battery and great wifi signal. I have checked in about phone for updates many many times. I have done a search and nothing seemed to come up regarding this. Any and all help is appreciated.
I received mine today... connected to my wifi... 5min later it updated.

I don't get it... Why can't people just download from Asus and update it manually.
There a lots threads about this.

I must admit and also agree i cannot understand why people cant just download the update from the asus website.
I think it is an issue though maybe with the lack of a decent manual,if it was mentioned when you opened the box up that firmware can be manually updated from the site we wouldnt hae to view the same posts all day.
Also it may mean we have a lot of new users which means they are selling the transformer like hot cakes.

Because the serial number on my TF is invalid. When I checked in to register the device it kept coming back "invalid serial number" I contacted Asus and was told to take the device back for exchange or refund as they have an internal investigation as to why units were being produced but not entered into data base and they have no time frame for resolution. Seems it is spread throughout the globe, look in this forum and you will see it is an issue for numerous devices. No valid serial number means NO warranty down the line. So what good would it do to manually update when you have no warranty??? Also why should an individual settle for a $400.00 device not functioning as it should out of the box??Yes not having a valid serial number and no warranty and no update are unacceptable. Please excuse me for asking a question on this forum. I got a refund as they had no Transformers on hand for exchange. I now have decided not to purchase until they get this serial number issue sorted out,(if they ever do)or perhaps looking into the Toshiba Thrive.
You should return it if you have a invalid serial number, your going to have warrenty issues if you ever need to send it back for repair

Yes Exactly what I did. I checked the display ASus in Office Depot where I purchased the device and it has not been updated either and has full wifi signal and plugged into power supply and I did a manual check and it came back no update available.. I wonder if it has the invalid serial number issue as well. I would really like to know how wide spread this "invalid serial number" is.
well i had to manually update mine. because it never got the update. but when i registered it, it registered fine.

Iconia users (me) suffer from delayed updates and then they're pushed 1 or 2 days (by states or regions) then pulled away, so, some are stock, some updated and some have 3.1... wich I think is worse.

actually yes you can just download it and flash it. thats what i did.
I bought mine today and recieved it OTA within 15 minutes of hooking into my WiFi.
I've done some looking on here and a bunch of other forums but I've not found anything. If I've overlooked something please let me know. I recently got the notice for the 8.4.4.11 firmware update for the TF and, for a number of reasons it failed. Now I can't get my TF to see that an update is available. I've manually checked numerous times and rebooted countless times to no avail. I've scoured the net looking for the US 8.4.4.11 package to download to install manually but I've not been able to find anything. The only thing listed on the Asus website is 8.4.4.5. Can someone out there provide a link to the US update? Thanks.
Look in the "Just got an OTA update" thread and you'll find the update.

This looks to be what I was looking for. I apologize that I missed it in the first place. I appreciate the help. Cheers!
Interesting incident today. TF off and docked,but not closed measuring battery drain. calendar tiggered alert and TF woke up,but did not recognize dock and dock unresponsive.
Like the title says. I still haven't gotten an OTA update yet, and trying the few 3.2 updates people have linked to haven't worked for me.
A bit annoyed actually, that the store I bought it from, in London, sold me a US one, but there we go.
Anyway, just wondered if anyone in a similar situation had found a way to get it.
Similar thing. I bought at curry´s in london a B60 unit and dock. US version.
I´m in Brazil now, and have checked daily for the update and no luck what so ever.... I tried the recovery mode trick with those 60MB files of the update but all I got was a green android budy with a ! symbol on its chest...
It´s really taking a long time for it to be avaliable at the asus ftp.
Anyone has found a way to update in a situation like this?
My US version got the update in the UK within hours of the release last week.
I bought a B60 from amazon.co.uk and had it delivered to me here in Malta. I got the 3.2 update on 2nd August.
My Dad in the UK has a US version which I bought for him, and he got the OTA right about the same time as I did, ages ago.

OP, have you tried this yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133014
Looks like it should resolve your issue.
Thanks.
Thanks for that last link, I'll give it a try. I can't seem to get my transformer into APX mode - hoding power and volume up (after turning off) doesn't do anything. I've got the file downloaded though and I'll look for an answer to the APX problem and give it a try.
Thanks
Ok
Tried that, didn't work. Got back to 8.4.4.5, but it wouldn't update any further. I'll leave it for a few hours, see if it comes through by itself, but clicking the update button does nothing
Appreciate the help though, cheers.
I have a B7O that got updated only a few days ago.
Other european posters say that they might have been fixing some bugs before sending it out.
Then I think they stagger the updates.

Mine came the following morning (US Transformer in UK)
It changed my life.... or maybe not so much!
I have 2 B50s here and both got the notification for the update. We updated 1 to 3.2 about 3 days ago when they arrived.

today I purchased a transformer from micro center, serial b70kas203, build us_epad-8.4.4.11-20110711. I haven't been home yet to try rooting, but sounds like it most likely has sbk_v2. I would like to be able to root when available, but what I am wondering is if its ok to do any ota updates? Or will doing ota updates further prevent me from rooting?
It really depends on what Asus decides they want to do security-wise. I know with the Evo a lot of people took certain OTAs and ended up making their phone un-rootable. In my experience, it's best to let the OTA ride for a couple of days and check back here or other dev hotspots to see if anybody is having trouble with them. You can always wait a little while for an update, and it's safer to have somebody else who isn't as wise do the testing.
well how about asking this way, can I safely update mine which has 3.1 to most recent ota? I too have an evo and know about those crippling updates, and i'm wondering if its safe for me to hook my transformer up to wifi and accept updates to 3.2.

I think the latest updates to tf101 has no impact on whether you can root or not later on. If your tf has sbk1 then you can root, but if it has sbk2, then no go at the moment. So fire away, let the fota do its thing, then try to root afterwards when the updates are finished.
Thank you

Anyone knows anything about when ASUS is planning to release an update for tf300 with 3G module? More than a week has passed since tf300 update, this suspense is kinda boring and unfun for me
Hey man, you and me in the same boat here....not so cool waiting for better days
I suppose they are working on it, must be a good thing as they probably seen what need to be fixed in the wifi release since release and working on the rom to make it better....probably, not sure.
I am just hoping soon!!!!
No response from Asus
Well, we're on the niche market that's why we will always be the last one to receive it(they will always give priority to the wifi-only version).

Hi,
Its finally here last night, could someone please shed some light on doing the manual update as I have an unlocked bootloader?
you can download the update at the asus website, just need help installing it....is it same as the tf300 and need to install the 4.0.3 first and then do all that stuff before I can flash the 4.1?
Thank you...sorry for posting in a few places....just want it on the tab now
EDIT: I am now on JB, thank you
