[Q] System firmware update problem.

Hi Guys,
Running the latest stock firmware here, but when I click on the system firmware update option, check update is greyed out and I'm told "There is a system firmware update for your device. Please check notifications."
Well there is no notification and I am running the latest firmware..... Is this a bug? Anyone else have this?

Hmm I assume by the lack of replies it's just me. I've tried plugging into my dock to see if that was the issue, but alas the same problem persists.

The notification is a little triangle in the status bar. It's not the most obvious icon.
Lastly, if you can download the update, you can rename it to update.zip and maybe flash it through recovery.

Ive gotten the notification recently but im on a rooted tf. when i click it, it just dissapears and nothing downloads or anything. Seems like a bug because im also on the latest firmware, even if it is the Prime rom. Plus only 2 or 3 ppl have reported it.

There is no notification, I have the latest firmware already installed.

Sorry, my reading comprehension was below par. I understand the issue now. Try going into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All. Find DMClient and hit the clear data button.

That's the file responsible for firmware update. If u are rooted, u can use titanium backup to freeze the file to stop the system from checking for and notifying of updates

Ta mate, I understand now.

Thanks for this --- had to Google to find this thread because a lot of people don't seem to mention it, so it must be a problem that isn't very widely spread.
I was wondering why I hadn't gotten an update since September! Finally, abnormal battery drain solved! Wooo
Clearing the data for the DMClient when the system says an update is available but has no actual notification to hit, should be added to the troubleshooting thread as a fix.

Many thanks for this tip !!!

I have the same problem but your advice doesn't work ;/

Are you using any custom rom?..
connect the tablet to the computer and see how much free space the computer see..
try to download an app from the web and install by file manager hd or another similar app..

No custom rom.
I have the stock rom, but I dont want to.
I wiped the user data so now the market works, but I cant use root...
Superuser wont install binary...
The TF wont stay in APX mode either...
Any ideas?

No way to reinstall root user? Please help!

Any error messages?

The only error I get at the moment is when I try to update the SuperUser binary. On check it says Binary=legacy.
It says: Update failed. Try again? (in Swedish ).
The recovery wont even install. Plz, a little help is wanted...

Anything?
Razorclaw v1.0.1 says "This device already has a correct SU binary..."
Cmon, someone knows something? Hehe, anyway thanks...

Use Su Update fixer apk for helping to fix problem with SU apk.
And if you've got barcode scanner apk (or another) use it for update SU

Well thanks, but did not help. The updater says "Fix failed. Try downloading and flash an update.zip...".
Problem is then, I have no Idea how to do that, besides, I cant use a single app in root, it doesn't find "root"...
Root checker basic doesnt. The only app that finds it is razorclaw... Im a bit confused...
More ideas?

This is the last version SU 3.0.6 for HC - Try it.
Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip - 608 KB

Thanks. How do i use that ?
Best regards

Well as mentioned my reovery doesnt work. My root doesnt work. Thats what i need help with!
Anyone, please

Go here

Starting with post #113 by kmdm
There's instructions on how to get su binary working manually.

If you do this it should work...
First do a hard reset on the TF.
There is to ways 1 pressing Vol - and Start button
Or Setting - Privacy - restore data
And then is so easy you just follow this thread and do what they say....
---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19512811#post19512811
If you dont want a custom room back up your TF and then reaload it. The market problem will disapear...

Several problems.
1. Wiping data and installing razorclaw again does NOT help. The binary problem still remains.
2. Nothing what so ever happens when pushing "Flash recovery" with the app RecoveryInstaller.apk.
3. No recovery app when Vol- and Power is pushed down. Only ASUS Wipe data and cold booting options.
How do I flash the binary manually?
Please, Im sick of this unrooted TF
Thans anyway

Do you have ADB set up on your PC?
If no go here

ADB up and working. How do I proceed?
When installing razorclaw, it still says legacy binary and root is not functioning...?
It seems my TF is NOT rooted even if razorclaw thinks so. Cant get out of here...

hmmm updated!!!!
Did u update like i told you? first update your TF to latest Asus update... Until you dont update you will get errors!!!!

Well, I tried to do as you said. But it didnt help. What is the latest update? I have 8.6.5.19, is there a later one?
Thanks.

[Q] How to Install Downloaded Update

A week ago I was notified that there is an update for the HOX firmware (I think version 1.85). I downloaded the package (~65MB). When the package finished downloading it did not install.
How do I install the downloaded file? I guess I have to do it manually somehow.
I tried to unzip the compressed file I found using Astro and restarting the device, but nothing happened.
Any tips?
Thanks

Same thing here. Even tried going into recovery and tell it to install the update...just reboots, no install. I called tech support and they told me to download the Zune software to manually install it via PC/USB?? I don't have one handy si haven't tried that yet but sounds crazy to me.

delete zip. problem solved.
read through the first couple of pages you'll find all you need to know.
fuhgetabout the stupid ota from da man.
root ! UNlOck ! DESTROY!
use the ruu just delete that stipd zip
go to your app drawer and click on every single anything that says att.
hit "disable". you wont be able to do the att2go or something.
lol.
no more ota.
I would first and foremost root your phone.
review the first few pages you will find all you need to know about "the update"...
hope that helps

why?
why do i need to root my phone in order to install an official software?

Did you root ur device before the update

No
i have a legit unrooted, unplayed with device.
i just want to install the update the official way

A better question would be "Why are you on xda if you don't want to root your phone?"
Not trying to be a **** but this is a developers forum. If you are looking for basic android support, there are other forums better suited to your needs. That said, I highly recommend you root and ROM and all that good stuff. Best way to get the most out of your HOX.

i can accept that answer

Once the file downloaded did you accidentally hit postpone? Have you tried deleting it and checking for updates again?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

yes I did.
it seems that the "check for update" button in the settings/at&t software update is stuck and doesn't respond.

Move your clock ahead 2 days, reboot and try again.

thanks alot!
do you know what this update fixes by any chance?
i heard something about a wifi fix...

You don't need to re-install stock. You probably don't have the binary installed properly and that's why it's giving you trouble.
Simply flash either SuperSU and SuperUser and that should be fine.

I wouldn't know, it would be better for you to ask in the Strawberry thread.
A lot of problems can be fixed simply by reflashing either the rom or the kernel. You could try reflashing Strawberry without wiping anything and also after that fixing permissions. Good luck.

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...
Duhhh....

S'alright, unlock and flash my CROMi-X 5 which is based on their later 10.6.1.27.1 release anyway

@sbdags
When I get mine back, if it's fixed, I intend to do just that might be the only good way to get any use of my 700!

you won't be let down by cromi 5 beta
I'm amazed by this rom

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!

I have sent mine in for digitizer repairs...so I'm sitting here worried about the same thing...I hope they don't flash my stuff..as of this moment, I don't think there is a way back.
Motorola did this to me with a Photon 4G phone right before they said they wouldn't be updating the OS beyond 2.3 they OTA'd my phone so I can't put a ROM on it. 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.

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...

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 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.
