Hello all,
I just received a new OTA this morning, my TF still has honeycomb3.1.
Now I'd like to root it, should I wait for a new procedure or the general procedure for 3.1 is still valid?
Thanks

The device I'm talking about: Transformer ww 8.4.4.11
Bought the device with HC3.1 v. 8.4.4.11 ww
I've rooted the device, without problems.
Wanted to update OTA to 3.2 ww.
Unrooted the device. Checked with rootchecker, so it is unrooted, no superuser, no busybox on it. Now it has again HC 3.1 v. 8.4.4.11. ww
Since that, my ota doesn't work.
Question: Is there anyone who managed to update his device (OTA to 3.2 ww) after a rooting unrooting procedure?
If yes, please, please tell me how.
Thank you.
Well... it seems that no one managed to get the ota...
In this case I'm the only one who received it. Cos I did receive it.
i'm not shure if i understand your last post. Did you get the ota? cause i unroot my device today to 8.4.4.11 (HC 3.1) I can update is manual to 8.6.5.7 but i unroot it specialy to 8.4.4.11 to check if i will get again ota.
So, did you get it and had to wait much time or how i should understand your post ^^
Don't even need to unroot if you upgrade from 3.1 to 3.2 using firmware for asus site.

I mean't OTA. I wanted to try, if i will get OTA updtes after flash a stock rom. In the post you show they talk about flashing update manual. I know about this and how to do it. So i will wait a few days and see if my TF will tell me something about updates.

I have. Assuming you have unrooted properly all you need to do now is re-flash an official update from the Asus site. If that doesn't work you haven't unrooted properly and you'll need to NVflash back to stock and re-flash another Asus download. Should be solved after this and allow fota updates to be downloaded normally and installed.
i have unrooted my TF like in this thread yesterday.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154947&highlight=unroot
i took the original asus firmware 8.4.4.11. I could take the new one 8.6.5.7 but i specially took the older one to see if there will be an ota update. i have no message till now that there is an update for my device.
Does anybody know how long it could take? now there are 30h gone since unroot and flash an original asus FW. If i try manualy to search for an update my TF says there isn't one for my device now.
is there a difference if i take a WW Firmware or a DE? Don't know if there will be problems with the OTA updates if i take the WW Firmware. I'm from Germany, so i took the DE Firmaware.
EDIT: I forgot to say. I have the stock recovery and no Superuser app. And the flashing was without any problems.
Solved
I get the OTA update today. The only thing you have to do after unroot properly and flashing a stock rom is to wait some days.
once upon a time i rooted my transformer and was running custom roms. Then, at some point, i unrooted and awaited the excitement of the ics update.
I've not had it and have noticed that my device is actually sitting on 8.6.6.19 which means i am seriously old news. I have attempted to download the 21 update from asus and have followed the instructions to put the asus folder in the root of the sd card but the device does not notify me of any update.
is it possible that my device is ignoring any notification of updates? is it possible that something has gone wrong in the unrooting department?
I just received an OTA update on AT&T G2 to version D80020y. Thing is earlier I had a root but some how the update went through with the installation without a hassle. I can't remember where I downloaded the root from. Could you guys suggest a good rooting process which will allow me to install OTA updates in the future also.
Thanks in advance.

Do you still have root? Any thing different you noticed after the OTA?

Having root and allowing OTA updates is a recipe for disaster. You're better off waiting for someone to post an update here in the forums that works with root or be certain that the update doesn't break root.

This thing doesn't get updated on the forums, that's the problem. I've asked for the 20u stock system folder from someone rooted on that version and no one has responded. The last version we have here is 20k stock rooted. I'm still waiting. Now I'd like to get my hands on an unmodified stock 20y I'll have to wait forever to NOT get.
Hey Guys -
I've looked all through the forums for an answer, but couldn't find a concrete one nor one I was 100% would work for my specific device so decided to post the 3 questions I have...
I've got a Shield Tablet (Wi-Fi USA) which I bought pretty much on day one. Once Lollipop came out, I upgraded to it and in turn re-rooted it afterwards. About a week ago, i got the notification for the 5.0.1 OTA upgrade. I tried applying it by downloading the update then restarting when prompted, but when it came back up it was still at 5.0.0. I'm positive this is due to it being rooted and would still want (need) for it to be after the 5.0.1 upgrade so...
1. What's the best / safest way to apply 5.0.1 (from 5.0.0) to my tablet currently?
2. Will OTA not work if rooted which is why there are so many zip file links in the forums? If not, which update file do I need for USA WiFi only?
3. Once upgraded, what's the best / safest method for re-rooting again? I saw a few posts for how the bootloader needed to be unlocked. Don't know if that's still the latest info. Long way from Towel, huh?
I'm not asking anyone to spell it all out for me, but if you know what to do if you could send me links or whatever to the correct steps / files, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks guys!
Hi all,
I"m living in Germany, but I bought my HAM7 in January in Dubai.
Today I received an OTA which is MT7-TL10_channel_MT7-TL10V100R001C00B128.
I"m wondering if someone already did that update and whether it's 5.1.
Thanks!
Hi, no this is a previous update.
5.1 is 300B
Probably, since 5.1 is an update and not a full OTA, it will come when you have an intermediate updated version of android. So go on, update to this suggested rom and wait for a following one.
guys
I make it root with kingoroot app and has told me its root your device . reboot it and no root on my device and try to install root checker on play Google and also told me no root
OSN play told me there is root on my Device ...

Thanks for your answer, you"re confirming what I found out as well. This update is 4.4.2.
Currently I can't really see any improvements, maybe they are hidden under the hood.
not sure if I got your question correctly. I rooted my device a week after I bought it in January, following the guidance I found in a different place on a German website. However, the process was a bit more complex compared to other devices I've rooted in the past. Especially the way of getting the id-numbers on a Chinese website was somehow challenging. Anyway, immediately after successfully rooting the mate7, I replaced the CWM recovery with stock recovery and from there I did receive the OTA"s which I seamlessly could install.
If your question is more general on rooting the HAM7 you should consult to the other more specific threads here on XDA
