[Q] Can't receive update to 8.4.4.11

I rooted my transformer using the pure root method in the development transformer forums for devices that already received 3.1. People have said that they receive their update and unroots their device, but I haven't even received the FOTA. I only rooted my device; without clockwork or a custom rom. I did delete some pre installed programs (bloatware) with titanium backup but I re installed them. Not sure if the damage has been done but I want someone to confirm if that can be the issue and how do I go about to properly reinstall the bloatware.

I know .11 will not install on a rooted device. I even unrooted several different ways installing the normal software from the asus site and never could get ota working... I am wondering if any others have got updates working after unrooting... (ended up exchanging at Best Buy for a new one....

I am having the exact same problem and a lot of people will. Once you root and try to unroot it appears you cannot receive anymore OTA or make them work for that matter. I have found how to get the notification telling me that the .11 update is available for me. (Place the update file in sdcard/asus/update/) and then rename it US_epad-user-8.4.4.11.zip and rebooting. After this you can choose to make the update but it will not work. It will just go to the stock recovery with the android and the exclamation after a one second loading appearing that it will work. After you turn it off and back on it will tell you (System Update Failed Error (12) )Still trying to figure out why it is not accepting the update.

You can get the update in the "Just got an OTA update" thread.

Thank you for that valuable information. It worked like a charm. Now I just need the original update for the dock.

I guess I'll have to manually install. Let's see how it turns out...

for just patiently wait for FOTA or rooted repack... The improvements are not HUGE.

Didn't even work. I guess my device is not recognizing the file or something. I guess I'll have to wait or probably get use to installing roms

Did you tried the explanation give in the thread that the guy on top of my post suggested? It helped me out.

Meh I am givin up for today. Flashed back to stock recovery, plopped the update package on a card in the format of EP101_SDUPDATE.zip, reboot to stock recovery, just kept getting the exlamation point. Can't flash the thing any other way either.
Guess I'll wait for a rooted 3.2 to come out.

You are not suppose to rename the file. Extract the contents of the ZIP file to the ROOT DIRECTORY of the MicroSD card.
Works everytime for me....while the renaming of the file never worked for me.

It's weird because, I downloaded the txt, and rename it, placed it on the root of the so card and the update passed flawlessly.

"Then press volume up when you see the text on the top left of the screen"
I did it just how the instructions stated but I never saw the text on the top left of my screen. It just boots up normally with stock boot animations. The update notification is not present either. I guess I'll try and see if not renaming it might help. Even though I don't think leaving the file extension to just "file" will help. I'll try...

hmm...Probably because you extracted the .zip to the SD card. It just stated to move the .zip to the sd card. Maybe extracting might work.

None of the methods worked. Guess I'll be installing roms. I guess when I deleted some of the preinstalled apps, my device became disqualified for any sort of updates.

I don't understand most of you. You buy this stuff as early adopters, complain about the price, then ***** about how it "doesn't work", then hack/break it and then complain i doesn't update properly or whatever. Then come on here and piss all over the vendor.
Really?

haha. Who's *****ing? My transformer still works great. Just wanted to diagnose why I wasn't getting an update so I can be more informed about it and see if I should just stick to installing roms or unroot.

Right. That says exactly what I just said, and did. Anyway.. I eventually got it to work. I had to go compeletly back to stock as apparently deleting stuff from the stock rom altered it enough that the update didn't see it as the same rom.
Tried to root after and got froze up at the boot screen like everyone else. Been playing with this too long. Understanding that we risk messing up our devices by rooting and such.. other issues that are in complete control of Asus such as build quality... IE light bleed, bezel issues, freezing, touch screen not sensing touch are making me rethink this product. Sigh. Sucks too because the idea is awesome. Just wish the build quality was there.

Help Me Figure Out Why The Update Failed

Ok, so got the WW update this morning.
It downloaded OK, Integrity OK, then failed the install with a Red Triangle over the Android.
I'm stock, not unlocked, with all system apps in place, rooted. Why would it have failed?
How do I get the update?

Same issue
Had the same issue.
now sitting here and couldn't detect my update.

For me download stopped at 99%,now it will either not find update or say failed to download. Something must be wrong here.

I'm thinking I probably deleted a system app at some point and I don't remember. If I download the. 30 firmware, and then push it via fastboot, will this work to restore the stock apps?

Try to search for the update log file.
Some report it can be found here: /mnt/sdcard/.INKA_CACHE
Some found it in here: //cache
Or try to search for dlpkgfile file.
The log should advise why it actually failed (if there is a missing system app, it should be in the log)

From the other thread seems like lots of failures. Maybe I didn't delete system apps and Asus screwed up. Will check the log though.

Try removing your memory cards and then rebooting , worked for me . My SD card was from my Toshiba AT100 and I never bothered formatting it before using it in the transformer .
Once rebooted it said no update found , hit search again and "bingo" .
Hope this helps

Have you tried to clean the DMClient app cache? Some say this might help the update to pop up again.

Well, I did a cold boot, then stopped and cleared data/cache for both DMClient and CMClient. No results so far, still no update available. Meh, I'll probably wait to see it on the Asus website.

[Q] Unlocking the bootloader on a new TF300T

Has anyone been able to unlock the bootloader on a new TF300T (serial no. starting with C9...) that shipped with JB already installed? I'm getting the "An unknown error occurs" message and wondering if it is the same for all the new TF300Ts.

Yes. I tried the Asus Unlock Utility V7 from the Asus Support website, but it gets an error and does not unlock. I think a lot of people are having similar problems, but I'm not sure. I'm wondering if it is related to the newer "C9..." range of serial numbers.

Mine starts with C9 and it worked for me.

Same problem here. Serial with C9 and I get the "Unknown error occurs..." thing. I've been trying every couple hours since I got it Monday (tried it on 10.4.2.9, 10.4.2.17, and now 10.4.2.18 that came out today) and same error every time. I've even wiped it a couple of different times to no avail.

It does not work on my tablet JB per loaded.
Just purchased from Best Buy, this is really a nice device.
Just ned to get it unlocked and rooted.

So I called ASUS tech support about my bootloader unlock issue. Man, they are horrible. Totally unknowledgable and of no help. One guy thinks the apk is a driver and the tablet is a notebook. So I tried another tech support guy and he just puts me on hold for 20 mins to try to look for the apk on their website only to come back and tell me he can't find it.

Could you elaborate?
1) Where do you put the file? Internal SD? External SD? Exact Path?
2) How do you install? Boot into recovery and install?

It doesn't matter where you put it. APK files are (kinda) the android equivalent of a .exe on Windows. To install it, transfer it to your tablet somewhere you can find it, then open file manager, navigate to the apk file and open it. It should bring up the install dialog, (assuming you have unknown sources enabled) and install the app. Once installed open the app from the launcher or the drawer, go through the agreements and click the unlock button. It should work from there (it errors out at this point for me, but if it's going to work this is where the actual "Unlocking" will happen.)

At least you got people actually willing to help. When I called, The guy put me on hold for 3 min (after verifying EVERY single piece of information I filled out on the online form) then came back and told me the process voids my warranty (which I knew already) and said that this was primarily a "Warranty/support company" (his words not mine) and that they can't assist me in voiding my warranty. He was acting nice about it, but he acted as if the sole reason I was trying to do this was to void my warranty.

Thanks for grabbing that question Reffu.
I transferred it to my external SD and installed. The file is straight up apk so you don't need to be in recovery to install it. I just navigated to the SD with file manager, tapped on the apk and installed it.
You can transfer it to the internal too. It really doesn't matter where it's at. (Internal or external)
Edit:
I was connected to wifi when I unlocked my bootloader. Are you guys connected to wifi when you are trying to unlock? Don't know if it matters or not. Just saying.

I have contacted Asus as well. I sent mine in, already unlocked, because of a system board issue. It was an issue which came from the factory, but regardless, I unlocked it and voided the warranty, so I paid to have the board replaced and just got the unit back. Now I can't unlock either.
When I talked to a 'supervisor' I was told they would not help me with my issue because they do not support unlocking the device and will not tell you how to do it. I told him I KNOW HOW (dumbass), it's not working. Regardless, they wouldn't help at all. So now I have a repaired tablet which WENT OUT unlocked and came back without the ability to unlock. THANKS ASUS!!!
In all seriousness, Asus is renowned for having quality overclocking motherboards, vid cards, etc. to gain performance, yet they won't provide a tablet in the same manner, this is ridiculous.

Can this tablet be rooted without unlocking the bootloader? If so, is there a rom that use the stock kernel?
Just picked this tablet up and the version of JB install will not work with the Unlock apk.

As far as I'm aware, there is no root for Jelly Bean that doesn't require an unlocked bootloader, I've been looking and haven't found one yet .
Also, FYI even if you were rooted, you couldn't install a custom rom without an unlocked bootloader. Rooted means you have the ability to access system files and settings. Most (all?) custom roms are rooted, but at least on this tablet, you can't install a custom rom without an unlocked bootloader, even for those who managed to get root before Jelly Bean.

Ditto here too, spent half the day trying to figure this out. I noticed some DNS errors coming from the phone while doing the update. Maybe they have figured out a way to block the 0.7.2. update for just us? Anyone know of a way to load just the 6 meg update to the phone manually and force the update?
Some behaviors I've noticed:
1. erase data 4G only get error mentioned above: "Please try again later"
2. turn on wifi (and 4G off) get no message but no update.
3. turn off wifi and "download suspended" appears (and never changes)
4. reboot to 4G only, get "An unexpected error has occured. Please try again later."
Stuck.
UPDATE:
My router shows a request to ws-cloud434-blur.svcmot.com from my phone. If I change my DNS to OpenDNS (hijackers) and try to update I see references to the "website not found" garbage that OpenDNS injects. Unfortunately I dismantled my squid setup so I can't see the exact url that is being attempted only the DNS error when OpenDNS injects it. I'm tempted to bring squid up just so I can figure out what is actually being requested on the update server.

Yea I can update to the latest via the computer, but then I cannot restore root so guess I will be waiting. I piicked a great time to do this ha ha.

Both are POSTS and both return "file not found" when I try them from the browser.

Using the Motorola Device Manager. There is an option to update device. But it goes straight from the original ICS to Latest JB. Was not able to get root back afterwards. Voodoo did not even give the option. Tried the RestoreRoot script as well without success.

But... I think it did. I just updated two devices using the Device Update tool. This is from memory but...
1) Connect, right click your taskbar and click check for updates.
2) It will say there is a 6MB download available to go to 0.7.2, accept it.
3) Updater downloads it, reboots your phone, applies it, etc.
4) Once fully booted, it prompts again, there's a new update available.
[do your rooting here]
5) Accept this update. It will download now a much larger file (200+ MB if i recall) to get you to the latest version
6) It reboots, applies the update, reboots, etc.
Unfortunately, I was too eager to get on the latest and greatest ROM before dropping by, so I did it from a vanilla new-phone upgrade. I did not root the device.

Firmware Upgrade?

Hello, I am just wondering if any of you guys received a firmware upgrade recently.
I upgraded to this firmware which I believe was built early this month and it seems like it can't be rooted and my Google play keeps on crashing.
I did some searches and there seems to be no results regarding tf700 and this build. Anyone?

Looks like they are doing a new release for the TF700 which is not unexpected seeing as they just did one for the TF300 and ME301 as well. The same problem exists on those two devices. Asus have closed the root loophole motochopper has been using. As of now there is no known root method other than unlocking.

What waste of their time...instead of fixing things like the lag, on screen keyboard output and browser compatability they get all paranoid about someone fixing it for them...

So, does anyone have a changelog for this or know if it's possible to keep root with Voodoo OTA and this update?
On the other hand, I may be sending my tablet to ASUS for repairs. If they update to this firmware, does factory reset revert to an older version I can root without unlocking?
Thanks!

Guess what, no mo moto for this dude and now there won't be any more Asus either, pretty soon I won't be buying anything but I'll have a lot of money!

I recently got mine back from RMA for a digitizer repair and they didn't touch the OS or f/w install. And no problems with the repair - went very well overall.

Sigh...So much for Motochopper.

Looks like they are doing a new release for the TF700 which is not unexpected seeing as they just did one for the TF300 and ME301 as well. The same problem exists on those two devices. Asus have closed the root loophole motochopper has been using. As of now there is no known root method other than unlocking.

Thanks for the post, sdbags. :good: I've been struggling with Motochopper ever since I got the OTA a day ago. I thought I was doing something wrong, and have been ripping out my hair. You have saved an old man's sanity.
And I was soooo happy to see that I had gotten and OTA and my build was now 10.6.1.14.10, up from 10.6.1.14.8. Ah well.. just have to wait for another motochopper. Anyway, thanks again. :highfive:

There was one user reporting to have kept root with OTA root keeper. You could downgrade to .8, .10 does not seem to have any real advantage anyway...

I have taken the update and used OTA rootkeeper. Worked fine for me, root explorer, busybox and other root apps all working.

Good to hear! My only question is will they do it under warranty as it expired on the very day the digitizer started acting up

daemonios said:
So, does anyone have a changelog for this or know if it's possible to keep root with Voodoo OTA and this update?
On the other hand, I may be sending my tablet to ASUS for repairs. If they update to this firmware, does factory reset revert to an older version I can root without unlocking?
Thanks!

Hi daemonios
This is the dlpkgfile WW version ?
I apply the upgrade but Voddo OTA don't want to restore my root
So i will try to downgrade to .8 and i need the dlpkgfile if OTA isn't available again ...
thanks

For my digitizer recalibration repair they downgraded it to 4.1, and it won't upgrade now (just doesn't find any updates, on stock).

I have read from quite a few users who were able to keep root with Voodoo. Don't know what went wrong for you?? Did you temp unroot before updating?

Dont't know what exactly
Apply OTa fine, go to Vodoo to restore Root
/system supports root protection and Protectected su copy available checked
click Restore root get messages ok but no more check and device not rooted
I don't temp un-root because i never do it for previous OTA..
Downgrade in .8 OK
Root motochoppper OK
Restore App and config with TB OK
Now i just have to OTA again and cross fingers ..

In cases like this temp unroot usually helps.

Bad update
Hi to all,
I´ve just update my TF700T to the latest firmware JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801 but all goes wrong.
First, every app I´ve installed has been stopped, no one works. Every time that i want to launch an app, appears the message "sorry, the XXXX app has stopped...", the same with a lot of processes: "sorry, the process XXXX has stopped"
Second, I try to fixit rebooting the pad, but evrery time I reboot it, or shut off and then power on it, is the same: "android is updating/upgrading: optimizing nn applications of mm"
What should I do, i´m desperate my TF700T is unusable.
I´m root, not unlocked. I activate the survival mode in the SuperSu app to try to mantain the root.
Thank you very much in advanced.
update:
I made a cold reset, wipe data and nothing works. Now I can´t enter on the system, because when I need to configure my google account, i receive a message the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.
I also try made a RCK, but i got the android with the red triangle with the exclamation inside.

I got this error when mine upgrade to 10.6.1.14.10, too...
I managed to fix this by following "Alternative Firmware update Method" in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28374043&postcount=1
You may download 10.6.1.14.8 from Asus web site, downgrade the device, root it if you want to, and then apply OTA upgrade again.
