I'm currently running stock WW 3.1 and wanting to unroot as i don't see the need anymore. My question is I have the latest update downloaded can I flash with that or do I need to unroot to same version then let OTA update?
Current Device Info:
* B60 serial
* HMJ37.WW_epad-8.4.4.11-20110711
Well with this rootkit you can do everything:http://www.multiupload.com/XN2HBYPUNZ
it's a rootkit for WW versions, which you can unroot, root your device.

My transformer is not updating over the air. My friend rooted my device and put on CWM but now I am trying to restore it to official firmware. I followed a guide and unrooted my device and installed the official recovery. My build number now is HRI66.US_epad-8.2.3.13-20110511 and firmware is only 3.0.1. When I select system update it tells me there are no updates available for my device. So I am going to manually updated it by downloading the firmware from the ASUS website. I was wondering though if in Canada do we use the US firmware or the WW firmware? Which one do I download?

not sure what to tell ya bud i didn't root and my tf101 is running 3.2.1 asus is pretty good about doing ww updates but you might have to call up asus to confirm which update to download and btw i am in canada as well and the updates were all ota
I too am in Canada and was wondering if the TF101's originally came with US or WW firmwares?
I want to flash back to stock before upgrade to ICS.

Hello, I have p5110, and I rooted my tablet, but after unrooted my tablet using this instructions : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747215
when I will receive an update via OTA, can I accept that, or my device may brick? Another question, if I use triangle remover with root, and then unrooted, can also I update via OTA?
In other words, how can return completely to stock state, including flashing counter?

Ive decided too take one of tf300s home from work to help feed my root hunger (also running cm10.1 on htc evo 4g lte)
This tablet is currently running 4.0.3
Assuming i will be walking the custom ROM road, should I leave tablet at 4.0.3 or upgrade to JB? I won't have my p c to perform fastboot until next week, this is why i ask.
Thanks in advance :beer:

I would suggest moving up to JB. I've been using CM 10.1 (which is running 4.2.1) on my TF300T and it's been great. The UI and options are better on JB than on ICS, even though ICS was a pretty great step up.

I also just got my tablet now and I'm holding the firmware update while reading, what do you advice? push to OTA or unlock,root,then custom rom? I thought I saw few others having problem with JB is that OTA JB? That's why I'm not pushing any OTA updates for now.
Thanks in advance!

1st solution (That I've made)
Don't update to JB now.
Rooted and unlock in ICS
Backup your root with OTA Rootkeeper
and after JB update by OTA and restore your root with OTA ROOTKEEPER.
2nd Solution:
Or unlock and root your TF and use the NVFLASH tool (with pre-JB bootloader)
3rd solution:
Go on OTA JB Update
Unlock your TF
and use this guide : [ROOT/ROM] Root Stock/Deodex Firmware 10.4.2.20 (US/WW) | Insecure kernel ! when you are on the version of firmware
Go to my index and you will find all the links that you need

Thanks for your help here's what I did:
-Unlocked using APK
-did NVFLASH tool
-flash CWM
-root
-install OTA Rootkeeper
Now I want to install hydro and I know I have to be in JB boot loader the only question for me now to be able to proceed is:
-Install the pending OTA JB update (I dont know if this will proceed installing since it was downloaded while Im stock, I'm afraid it will brick my device since Im now unlocked,nvflash,rooted)
OR
-Just DL latest from ASUS (ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T Firmware: V10.4.2.20 Only for US SKU (Android 4.1)) Can I just install the latest or I need to install pre requisite update first?
THEN
-Install compatible recovery for JB
-Install custom rom

It's really easy now that you're unlocked, rooted and used NVFlash.
I suppose you're still in ICS.
Backup somewhere all of your files (stock rom, nvflash file etc...) use Titanium backup for save & restore your apps later
You can use both process for update your TF
The OTA update, and every time, you are going to have to restore your root.
I have the us version tf300t 16gb model. I am on .18 firmware. My tablet is unlocked bootloader and rooted. I believe the latest update is .20. How would I go about flashing this and retaining root? and where can I download the update should I just do a ota?
First time boot of my new TF300T brought a prompt to update the firmware. Is 10.4.2.20 what you are inquiring about because that's what I have after the OTA?

Install a recovery as TWRP via fastboot and backup your current rom
Download Apk OTA Rootkeeper from Play Store (Free app)
Backup your root
Use the OTA for update
And restore your root by the OTA Rootkeeper.
In case if it doesn't work, you have a safety way by this guide : Root Asus Firmware 10.4.2.20 , insecure kernel ... US/WW
my device is currently rooted and i just recieved an update from samsung. i am using a super kernel v1.4 and i would like to update to the lastest version which requires this update from samsung. can i update my device ota or must i download the firmware from sammobile and reflash everything then install everything else again. if i am able to update the phonr ota can i also just flash the new kernel to replace the old one? i want a clean install.
OTA won't work on a custom device (Rooted / Kernel / Recovery), I'm surprised you even got the notification for an update tbh
You'll have to update manually when the firmware arrives as a flashable ROM
