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.

Did you get notified of the 3.1 update instantly after downgrading?

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.

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
I got my transformer from amazon.de with DE 3.1 on it. After I logged into my wifi I got an update message. I chose to install and got DE 3.2 ROM.
After some playing around with different custom ROMs I wanted to undo my changes and "re-stockify" my tab. Installation of the original stock DE 3.1 ROM from ASUS' website went fine and I got my tab like it was before.
But now as I try to update to 3.2 manually via settings menu I get the message I already had the latest software version... :-(
Tried the same with ASUS' stock US and WW ROM. Always the same, no update! Frustrating!
Any suggestions??? Please!!!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
There is a 3.2 stock rom thread in the developer section, that might help you.
Thx but this won't solve my problem. ROM seems not to be stock or not verified by ASUS otherwise it would upgrade. Wouldn't it?
I just want a way to COMPLETELY bring my tab back to the state it was when I got it...
Any more ideas guys?
Maybe the versions from ASUS' website simply get their update later than the ones with their shipped firmware installed!?!? *confused*

When going back to stock 3.1 is your recovery back to stock also?
once you get and download the update, your serial number is flagged as having the update already. You won't get it once again. happened to me when i wanted to revert back...

Hello! I restored my Tab 7 plus using ODIN and the P6210XXKL2_OXEKK1_16G firmware found in the development forum thread, but now Kies does not see any firmware version? Is there any way I can fix this, so I can push updates via Kies? Thanks in advance!
Under "About device" it shows Build Number HTJ85B P6210XXKL2 and Kernel version 2.6.36-P6210XXKL2-CL583761 [email protected] #3
Also, I updated to the latest version of KIES, but still nothing.
# days ago updated the firmware and "killed most of my apps.
Somehow the update while connected to my PC, when finished, most of my apps stopped working ( force to close). Had to reinstall them all.
I have the same problem except for im on kk3... Not sure if thats the most recent but it was the only stock firmware i could find with a working download link.
Sent from my GT-P6210 using xda premium
Yeah, this is a serious bummer. Anyone know what the most recent firmware version is?
Anything new on this matter? I'm in this position also now...
Edit found the password to the US retail one.
I believe the "LA3" is the most recent update
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Yes I realize that now. I managed to download the US retail firmware package in the dev section finally. Took me a little while to find the password for it to decrypt it though... But all is good now!
Hi, SGT newbie here...
I believe I may be in the same boat here, I bought a "manufacturer refurbished" GT-P6210 off ebay and later discovered from Samsung Support that they don't do refurbishments.
The device works fine but the main reason I got it was to run it with ICS, and of course the firmware version is not recognised in Kies.
For what it's worth...
Kernel version: 2.6.36-P6210UEKJC-CL567728
Build number: HTJ85B.UEKJC P6210UEKJC
May I ask the assembled masses here what the best way forward here is? My guess would be to learn how to root the device and then put an ICS update on that is released from this very forum?
Cheers!
David
no ICS yet, hang tight should be ny the ned of the month/start of April.. we are all hoping.
yeah, best bet would be get Odin (for windows) or Heimdall ( Linux & Mac )
find latest firmware either in development thread or sammobile.com, follow instructions and flash.
Aha... I tried the Samsung US Support live chat thing, I assumed they wouldn't mind a poor Englishman in London talking to them.
It turns out that you don't need Kies at all, they will push the updates out "OTA" if one is connected to a network via Wifi.
Do you know it took me nearly two minutes to work out that OTAS mean Over The Air ?
They said "in a month or two" for the GT-P6210 though, bummer.
I assume that the ROMs and stuff in these hallowed forums are kind of like what you do when you buy an off-the-shelf PC, ie: you spend the next day stripping all the crap out and then making a nice clean and optimised ghost image for future deployment? Or am I barking not only up the wrong tree but am in the wrong forest too?

Yes ota means over the air.
Yep, most rom developers strip the bloatware from the firmware and put in all kinds of optimization.

Hi Zadeis, Please I would like to get the link for the US Retail Version because this is affecting me as well. I bought my Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0 (Wifi Only) off Amazon in a very good working condition, however I tampered with it and had to re-install it with the P6210XXKL2_OXEKK1_16G version. Now Kies doesn't show my firmware version and I can't perform any update.
I would like to get the link for the US Retails version as well as the password you that mentioned.
I also want to backup my tab before re-installing it. will it backup all my current configurations, apps, settings, files and the like?
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks.

Press the "Auto update"-button couple of times and then the "Update". Works at least for me...

Download the update from ASUS site. Extract once, you'll get another zip file. Place this zip file in your INTERNAL SD. Turn off your tablet. Turn it back on and you'll receive an update notification

Or try use method with script+dlpkgfile. For some users it works.

Sorry for the late reply im doing this to help anyone viewing the thread. This was the solution that worked for me thank you though i feel kinda dumb afterwords. the reason i had the problem is i was used to devices having built in updates. Thanks again.

Hi purchased this device in Dec 2012 for the wife.. Since we had it, she has only used it twice and it has not been used since March of this yr.. Well today I decide to use it my self. First I go and see if there is any kind of firmware/software update.. Well after checking all I get is something like Internet connection error, or service is busy, please try in a few moments.. Now this has been going on all day.. I did a factory reset, even though there was nothing installed since we bought it.. Has anyone run into this type of issue, when you first purchased it? It has Android 4.1.1 installed. Next what rom do you guys like the most? I might try and set one up like I have on our phones. Thanks.
There seems to be a problem wit Asus as I get the same pn both my TF300TG tabs. Also another thread from somebody with Asus M301 with the same problem.

cm10.1 is the most reliable imho, yet you might need to update to 4.2 first since there is a bootloader update and 10.1 seems to need that now.
you can upate by downloading the update from the asus site and flash it either via fastboot or i think as an update.zip through the bootloader.
i run cm10.1 on all my devices. makes migrating settings via titaniumbackup a breeeze so that all are idwntical within minutes.
