I just recently managed to wipe my TF when I was rooting it, and had to go back to the stock firmware from the ASUS site.
The ASUS site only has the HC3.1 firmware on there and it's dated 7/25/2011. However, I know that when I got my Transformer 2 days ago, that it updated by it's self to HC3.2 the second it got an internet connection.
Now, when I got to look for an update in the "About Tablet" tab in settings, it says there are no updates available, even though my tablet is only on 3.1.
Did they pull the latest update?
3.2 has not been posted on Asus's site yet. It is only available via Over The Air...
And, after rooting mine (3.1) and restoring to stock I also do not get the 3.2 availability message.
I think that I will have to wait for Asus to post it.
Ah okay, that explains the website.
However, is there a reason my Transformer wouldn't be picking up on the update even though I'm on the official stock ROM?
from what i have observed, once you update, you will no longer get the update back by ota.
it must be a type of monitoring they have with the serial; number maybe.
when i received my tab(2 weeks back), i updated to .11 too and rooted. however upon unrooting and going back to the 8.4.4.5 version, i never got back the .11 ota. Yesterday i got the 3.2 ota directly. this what made me to come to the conclusion stated above.
That makes perfect sense, thanks.
I suppose I was going to root for Netflix anyway!

I noticed the same thing on mine. I updated, tried to root, bricked it, nvflashed back, and I haven't gotten the OTA again since. Thankfully there are other ways to upgrade.

Hi everyone!
2 days ago the 3.2 update dutifully popped up on my device. Clapping my hands like a chuffed schoolgirl, I started the update. All seemed to go swimmingly, but on completion and after a reboot I was told the update had failed, and my system had been reverted back to previous state.
Several factory wipes and recovery mode wipes later, and reinstallation to 8.4.4.5 and 8.4.4.11 a few times and I now no longer get ANY updates. I am on 8.4.4.11-WW edition currently which appears to be fine, but not updating. I even tried rooting then undoing the root and starting again - again no luck.
Anyone got any ideas? Other than waiting for Asus to put the new firmware file on their ftp server? Help please or suggestions. Thanks.
+1,
All is the same for me.
Same problem, send technical inquiry to asus, this is the reply:
Dear Valued Customer,
The update should automatically download. If it does not auto down load after a week you can manually install.
From your TF101 you can also try going to Apps/Settings/About Tablet/Check Update, make sure to turn on WiFi and the device can access the internet.
If you continue to experience issues in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best Regards,
Vivian

From my experience, once you download the update, it seems you are automatically flagged as having got the update. Reverting to a previous built or in your case, even if the update didnt apply, you wont get the ota again.

Exactly the same experience. Support is useless. Guess we have to wait until asus puts 3.2 on their support site.
I have the same problem my devise has i popup that appers twice a day saying...update failed. try again later.... but clicking on the update button in settings does nothing. Guess we will have to wait for the homepage release.

Me too, it seems (1 tablet with 1 version) is flagged :
I've got one OTA with 8.4.4.5 (failed), and another with 8.4.4.11 (destructed myself).
Now I'm waiting OTA..... nothing.

I am rooted using the Universal Xoom Root method. I am still running stock, only with SU and apps which require SU. Why can I not accept an OTA update? It seems like the worse that could happen is it overwrite the SU.apk and I need to re-root.
Thanks in advance.
I was wondering about this as well. I am rooted and am running Rogue kernel. I guess I'll just update and see what happens. Worse comes to worse, I will have to re-root.
Seems like the Xoom forums are quiet...did a lot of people abandon the device for the Galaxy Tab 10.1...When previous OTAs happened, the forums were chock full of chatter about to or not to accept the update.
Yeah, I just tried an OTA update and it wouldn't work. Got the Droid with exclamation point. Up + power put me back where I was.

same here. No dice on the update, just stuck at the install screen. On a positive note, the update notifications are gone. Damn those were annoying.
If you root, even without any additional custom ROM/kernel mods, you may receive notification of an OTA update but you should not accept it and try to install it. It will probably put you into a bootloop or worse.
If you wish to root, don't worry. Our wonderful developers are hard at work right now, configuring an update for the device...we'll more then likely get it before the official release comes out OTA.
Anyway, you can always revert back to stock if you really want the OTA update, but stock is boring.
place your unrooted backup on, take update and reroot.
if you don't have one, their are some around.
I keep a backup that isn't rooted with all my apps installed, then when update comes, it is real quick to restore, update and reroot ....

Yeah, diddo here with it not bothering me about OTA updates anymore after trying. It didn't put me in a boot loop, just the pretty droid screaming (exclamation point)
I have a backup from before I rooted, but what the heck, it didn't hurt anything, and I was just playing around.
Thanks for everyone's input.
Spoke too soon. The update is back to nagging me again. Errrrrrrr
Why can't they just push out ICS for the Xoom. Hell, they showed ICS on the Verizon Xoom at LeWeb this week.

Yeah, diddo. Mine started again about three days after I tried to install. I too am looking forward to ICS.

I just today checked via software update and my P6210 model had a firmware update so I installed it. I have yet to see any changes though.
I unrealisticly was hoping it was ICS, but hopefully it is at least a peroration for ICS.
yes, there is an update, something around 19 mb, device failed to update (tried twice)
any possible reason (may be root)?
it also failed when I tried it at first. Then I followed the instructions and connected it to my computer to have Kies manage the firmware update. Its currently updating and seems to be going fine. I'll report back if it fails.
EDIT: worked like a charm. wonder why it can't do it without kies.
Firmware update took away root, replaced my kernel. garys root still works though, so whatevs.
Ics should be coming soon this year.
Just got my new TF300 today. Did a system update and mine is still at 4.0.3 and says its up to date. Did not everyone get the update? Is it just for a few states...I've forced a check a couple of times and nothing. This is OTA..
EDIT: Never mind just as I finished this post I get a beep on the TF300 saying a new firmware is available for download figures...
I have been anxiously waiting for asus to post the jb firmware (us tf300t). I found it today, but now realize if i flash it manually i lose my root, backed up with voodoo and superSU or not. I then was reading about this dlpkgfile thing. Am i understanding this correctly?
It is the file that gets downloaded from asus when you check for an OTA, or when an OTA is pushed to your device
It then reboots, and uses the file to update the device.
It does not make u lose root?
So theoretically, I should be able to put it in /cache/directory and then`reboot my tab and it should start updating right? I know i need to make sure i get US version, backup root, etc. But will this work how I am thinking it will?
Oh and, I am not sure why my ota failed in the first place, i think i might have uninstalled a system app by accident without thinking. I am just plain rooted stock, NOT unlocked. I had also run the firmware for ics from asus website yesterday to get all the stock stuff back on my tab, then rerooted, and am waiting for JB update now
