[HOW TO] Flash latest OTA update with unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery

Hi All,
After reading many threads onto how to get the latest OTA update on my Tablet, here are my final conclusion to get latest OTA update on your Tablet if you are already rooted\unlocked\running TWRP recovery.. [i have tried almost all other methods and they did not seem to work with me]
Here is what i have before starting:
1) Rooted
2) Unlcoked bootloader
3) TWRP recovery
Before starting this process, please backup your system and recovery via TWRP recovery..
FIrst, in order to get the update you will need to revert back to stock recovery.. there is a thread already on this subject in this forum, however, i did a different approach here....
1) download the OTA update for .26 from ASUS support page
2) extract the .zip file for the build and store it in your tablet [sdcard of external card]
3) reboot the tabled into TWRP recovery...
4) select install and browse for the extract file
5) install and reboot.
[this is a very easy process that does not require any terminal commands and worked like a charm]
at this point, your tablet will have stock ROM and stock recovery installed [ you will also lose root access] all your apps before this will remain installed, so, no worries about that...
After this point, you are ready to install .30 OTA update.. here is what i did..
1) Download the OTA update for .30 from ASUS support page
2) extract the .zip file for the build and store directly into the root folder of you tablet
3) reboot the tablet and start again into Android
4) You will get a notification that an Update is detected
5) select the update and proceed with it.
6) tablet will restart and install the update...
after 10 minutes, you are now running the latest OTA update..
you will need to re-root again and install TWRP if you don't want to use stock recovery...
i hope this helps...

Great write up!
I also updated using TWRP, but I used fewer steps. I started by downloading the .30 update from the ASUS site. Then I unziped it, and placed that file on my internal storage. I booted into TWRP, and flashed the file, powered off, powered on, and it booted. I waited while the camera firmware updated. I re-installed TWRP via fastboot, booted into recovery, and flashed SuperUser.

I am not seeing the .30 firmware on the Asus page, just .26 can anyone provide a mirror?

Found this link on another topic, it has the update:
http://support.asus.com/Download.as...&m=ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T&os=32

Updating to .30 after pbrauer's ICS Stock US 9.4.5.26 with Root
I have rooted, unlocked, TWRP installed and pbrauer's ICS Stock US 9.4.5.26 with Root.
Can I now update to .30 dlpkgfile.zip without a problem since I am on a modified ROM?

[Q] Rooted JB 4.1.1 stuck on .23 firmware

Hi all,
I'm rooted on JB 4.1.1 but since installing the 10.4.4.23 update OTA I'm stuck. I can't get any further updates neither OTA or by loading them on SD card and doing power+volume exercise. Any suggestion?

What happens when you try (the "power+volume exercise" as you put it)?

It starts loading new firmware ok but after while it ends up with broken android picture. Then after restart it recovers to the old version.

I am not sure if you follow the correct step to manually flash firmware on the tf700 using the stock recovery, I will reproduce the steps below just in case you miss it:
1) Download the desired Asus stock firmware (based on your SKU,eg. ww 9.4.5.26 ) *** to downgrade from Jelly Bean you need the 9.4.5.30 firmware***
2) Extract the .zip file somewere on your desktop (the result will be another .zip file,use it for step 3)
3) Rename the extracted archive to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.ZIP" (without the " ") and upload it to a MicroSD card
4) Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet and use this button combination to Power ON and go to recovery --> Start the tablet by pressing Volume Down and POWER togheter for 5 seconds ,a message will inform you that you have 5 seconds to enter the recovery,press Volume UP before the 5 seconds expire.
At this point the device will go in recovery and should start updating your firmware .
Based on my experience, there are two important things to remember:
1. Your MicroSD card MUST BE FORMATTED AS FAT32, otherwise the stock recovery will not see the firmware file, hence the broken Android. I have tried NTFS and exFAT, both don't work. I am very sure about this.
2. You should use your computer to download the firmware and do all the preparation on your computer as well. For some unknown reason, I can never get the stock recovery to see the firmware zip file if I use my tablet to download it. I could just be imagining things, but I tend to stick to what works.

Hi,
But I don't want to downgrade. I want to keep my root and continue with the stock upgrades. As mentioned my last upgrade was the 10.4.4.23 and since that i couldn't upgrade.
Just one more info, I have cleared some of the ASUS bloatware as one of the first thing when on JB and rooted.

The OTA updates work only if all updated files are present and unmodified. If you deleted some files, you either need to restore them to the original version, or install a full ASUS firmware and re-root using Motochopper.

But how do I install full ASUS fw or which one? In regards of Motochopper does it root JB?

The instructions I gave you earlier are meant for a full reflash of any ASUS firmware, not just to downgrade. You can download any firmware and follow the steps to reflash. The reason .30 firmware was mentioned is because those instructions were written when Motochopper wasn't available, and downgrading back to ICS was the only way to root the tablet without unlocking. Luckily, with Motochopper you can now root JB without the hassle of downgrading and updating back to JB.
In brief, if you don't want ASUS Service Center's help to fix your OTA problem, just flash a full firmware as mentioned above (which will obviously remove your current root access) and then use Motochopper to obtain root again.

But that's my problem. I have tried to install the 10.4.4.25 fw and I'm getting the broken android all the time. As in previous post I have cleared some bloatware and that can be the problem. So how to reinstall stock? I understand the Motochopper now.

I had the same issue. Here's how I successfully installed the update.
I made sure no system apps were disabled or uninstalled.
Removed my SD card.
Connected the TF700 to my PC and put the Update.zip file in the root directory.
Disconnected from the PC and rebooted.
That worked for me.
PS. I did lose root but motochopper got it back.

What version of stock fw did u put as the update.zip?

That's your problem, I would guess. You removed system apps or bloatware that were part of the rom.
Hopefully you had it backed up! Restore everything you removed, then try the update again.
If you do not have a backup the stock update will fail.

5.1.1 update sm-p907a zip's available?

Hey everyone I'm attempting to get a flashable zip (for use with flashfire) so I can root this bad boy and keep the update. If there's none available I'm gonna just stay kitkat. So, any word on this?

This post is not original from me , I don't remember where it's and cannot find it.
If you are still on firmware P907AUCU1AND7 from AT&T SM-P907, you will need to upgrade to P907AUCU1ANK2 before P907AUCU1BOH3.
-Putting the updates on your SD Card,
-Boot into recovery ( Power+ Volume UP )
-Apply update from external storage and select the update zip.
This is P907AUCU1ANK2 KitKat OTA update.
https://mega.nz/#!INw0lbDC!2uvFS6gBx...be7-lPOJHGDr68
This is P907AUCU1BOH3 5.1.1 Lollipop OTA update.
https://mega.nz/#!JYYmASyR!wKCXQr-2i...GdTjfVBBqCoKIc
Important: back up your data as each update it will reset your tablet. My tablet is not rooted, so I don't know your tablet keeps rooted after the update firmware.
The second update might take 5 to 10 minutes to start, so be patient when it unzip the file.

How to download the updates?
Hi, I clicked on the links provided but it says wrong decryption key.
I have the sm-907a (android 4.2.2) model but live in the England, so I am not with ATT.
Do not want ro root just upgrade to 5.1.1.
Are you able to help? ( clicking on the check for updates on the tablet comes back as using the latest version...)
Thanks

I can't use these files either. I just want to get to 5.1.1 also, would really help a lot of other programs run.

Can I just update this with oDin or is there a special trick? I don't have an active AT&T SIM.

You should read previous post, update via Recovery Mode by SD card

I downloaded the files. I am getting errors. I am sitting at 4.4.2 . Is there another image?

Unzip?
This may be a pretty stupid question, but do I just put the downloaded zipped file on an sd card or do I have to extract everything from the zipped file and put all of those on the sd card?

If you have the needed files, just place them in the SD card directory. Boot into recovery and select y apply update from SD card. The latest update will put you at P907AUCU1BOH5. Just be sure to update each update file in order and for safe keeping boot into the sistem in between to see if it took properly. As for rooting, to this date I have not found any way to gain root access to flash some other OS like Bliss 14.3, which would be fantastic on this device. Even the Bliss os 15 aplha with Android 12 would work amazingly. I run 14.3 on an old HP Stream 11 Laptop (ah-117wm).

M5 8.4" SHT-AL09 C432 firmware 8.0.0.163

I've been running on version 163 since last Friday (SHT-AL09). No differences between versions 151 and 163 that I have noticed other than the security update. Battery life, screen response, etc. are all about the same. My tablet is running smooth with no issues other than the well documented issues known with Huawei phones/tablets (e.g. Bluetooth and WiFi)

@Butch1326: Did you get the firmware OTA? I downloaded this firmware again and made a try to update manyally but it give me a error, tried once and give it a rest, I read the change log and thought I don't bother to even try update manually because this firmware don't include the Gpu turbo update, so I try to be patient ?and wait for the OTA update.
Edit:By the way you wrote that you have SHA-AL09 device?? Do you meen SHT-AL09?

Sorry about the typo. I meant to type SHT-AL09 as the model name of my tablet.
To install the firmware upgrade as an update (no data wipe) I followed the Tutorial 2 procedure documented from the site below. It worked like a charm.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-manual-updgrade-to-update-oreo-t3758286
I downloaded the Full version of the SHT-AL09C432B163 (8.0.0.163) firmware since it was the only variant available at the time from the Huawei firmware download site. If you decide to use the OTA version instead which is now available for download please note the public ZIP file name is different in the OTA ZIP file download than the ZIP file name found in the Full version of the update.
The only change I made was to update the filename for one of the firmware ZIP files from update_SHT-AL09_hw_eu.zip to update_full_hw.zip.
I downloaded and extracted the RAR file mentioned in the procedure and included the three (3) firmware update ZIP files in the oreoupdate folder as instructed, copied the oreoupdate folder and its contents to the tablet, renamed the update_SHT-AL09_hw_eu.zip to update_full_hw.zip, and let the TWRP install do the rest. This procedure will install the stock recovery. You will need to rerun the magisk root and TWRP procedures.
For Magisk I used this patched_ramdisk procedure found below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m5/how-to/root-root-guide-huawei-mediapad-m5-t3786157
and this procedure to install TWRP

Thanks to this, i finally was able to install a official firmware (8.0.0.161) on my CMR-AL09C432.
I flashed a Chinese Firmware like a month ago (yes, me stupid...) and could recover from it by buying a Bootloader unlock and flashing 8.0.0.151.
It worked again but it felt buggy and clunky. Also i didnt got this OTA (161). Now i used you methode and got a full clean and fresh installed 161.
Thanks a lot!

New firmware 8.0.0.172 on HFF for SHT-AL09, no Gpu turbo yet, only Google security patch

I upgraded the firmware on my M5 SHT-AL09 from 163 to 172 using the same procedure as I previously outlined in post #4. I found out that this procedure only works with the full version of the firmware. I first tried running the OTA version. It failed at about 15% of the way through the install.
The only issue I am still investigating is the Magisk SafetyNet check. Granting apps root privilege is fine but the SafefyNet check is failing. I tried both versions 16.0 and 16.7. Other than that everything seems fine so far. I will post when I have any updates.

Question Give me Rog 5s best flashable firmware without any bug Android 11

Hello,
My name is sunny saini I want to do downgrade my Rog 5s from A12 to A11 that's I need the Rog 5s downgrade firmware I downloaded from the asus official site but it's have only 3 files i need flash_raw_and_wipe_data.exe firmware... anyone help me please give me the link

you need to download the official firmware downgrade android on the asus website, put the file in the root of the memory where there are android folders and the like. reboot the phone and wait until the firmware file is found and click on the update confirmation. You can also rename the firmware file with your hands, but so that the desired firmware is made higher by the number that is currently installed and repeat the process with rebooting the phone.
