From leaked 3.1 US to 3.0 WW?? Possible?

Hi guys. Well lol.. noobs just shouldnt play. =)
I was on WW 8.2.3.13 and updated to US 3.1. Now im having some problems with it. Been freezing and stuff.
So.. is it possible in anyway to go back to ww version so i can get th OTA version when it comes?
Found a link with the WW firmware. Tried to use it and boot with volume down but it wont work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090291

what i had to do was download the 8239 update from asus put it in microsd/asus/update then i hade to rename the file to ww_epad-user-8.4.4.5.zip. you should see update avaliable in the bottom right hand corner of the taskbar then select update. Then ur tf should do the rest itself.

Worked great! thanx =)

I tried this, it isnt offering me an update, no exclamation mark either

Did you put the file in microsd/asus/update (the removable sd card not internal)

yes I have put it there. Wont it need to be called us to fool it I can put it over the top? I need to return to WW stock rom. Will this unroot it and remove CWM too?

I am on PRIMORDIAL v3.1 btw

Hi guys!
Ok, place the zip file on microsd card. Then turn the transformer off.
Hold power and volume down until it boots up and you see the small text.
Now hurry and press volume upp right away. That seem to force it to start the firmware. I used the ww epad 8.2.3.13.
I dont know if its ok when your rooted tho..

Does anyone have the blob from the leaked 3.1, as the file has been pulled off the forums
thanks

Hello,
It doesn't work for me, is there any other thing to do ?
What i've done :
1) Make a folder called ASUS/Update from the root of your microSD card
2) Drop the .zip in there, rename to 'US_epad-user-8.4.4.5.zip'
3) If you're doing this on the Transformer itself, eject and remount the SD card. If on your PC, just plug the card in.
4) Click the update notification, it'll start the updater on it's own.
Got the notification, started it but got the warning when reboot itself in recovery, no update.

To quote meself. Try the above. I used 8.2.3.13 tho.

Do I have to rename it or anything else ?

Hi, i didnt do that. Just booted with power and volume down. Then as soon as the small text appear on left side i pressed volume up. That way it flashes it right away.

Ok, someone on a french forum find the solution that worked for me !
Download the last WW update on the Asus Website
Open the .zip file, in the ASUS/Update folder there will be another .zip file
Rename it EP101_SDUPDATE.zip and put it to the root of your external microSDcard
Boot in recovery (volume down and power) and then press volume up when it's asked in the upper left corner.
Let the update apply.
Once it boot, power off your tab, boot again in recovery, wait to have the wipe menu, confirme to wipe your device, let it wipe and reboot and that's ok !

Sounds like you were using the wrong .zip file to begin with. There were a few going around. One was a zip with a zip in it, which you need to do what you did, another simply was that inner zip file. If you named the inner zip to US_epad-user-8.4.4.5.zip and followed the directions as posted previously it probably would've worked as well. Just looks like you had one copy of the zip and the instructions for the other

Was on TW_epad_user_8239 and updated to the leak 3.1 with US firmware.
managed to downgrade (all the way back to TW_epad_user_82313) and TF auto prompt me upgrade to TW_epad_user_8239 (with numerous reset)
However, there are many android.process* crashes...
*acore
*media
*gmail...
Still no OTA for 3.1 update

You have to wipe

[Q] Clockwork recovery mod help!

Hi I was wondering if anyone here could help with cwm for my s-off desire s.I know there is a tutorial of sorts in the dev section but the info is fragmented and I cant seem to make it work.
Firstly I use the gingerbreak apk,which gives a message like "not sure what happened either the exploit didnt work or the reboot didnt,please reboot and see if you have superuser.So I reboot and see the superuser app which has gingerbreak listed in it (with green in use apn type dot).This means I have root?
So then I downloaded the PG88IMG file from lbcs cwm thread.In this thread it says to rename this file to PG88IMG.zip I have done this and put it on the sd card using the disk drive mode usb.Havent touched it just put the zip in sd folder below the other folders 4 of (android,android secure,tmp,adobe,lost dir).After this I turn fastboot off.Have already formatted sd.Then turn phone off and enter bootloader/recovery mode.Pressing the power button makes four lines pop up saying things like pg88img.zip not present or correct etc.This is in hboot and fastboot enabled.Can anyone see where I am going wrong?I have tried the pg88img packed unpacked as a folder and even the disc image within while following all the steps I can see.My phone is definetely s-off and I cant see the problem.Anyone?

I have clockwork mod installed successfully on my s off desire s.Will maybe write my experiences down so as peoples like me who dont speak fluent linus adb etc can understand.

As I didn't use ginger break myself I can't comment on it's use
the green dot in superuser means you if you have achieved root
you can always then download rom manager application from the market this will give you the option to flash an slightly older version of CWM which works fine

I appreciate your time to provide me

this is a diff patch form 1.33 to 1.52. The easy way is :
- make a nandroid backup
- apply original 1.33 firmware
- reboot to recovery (so the original and not the custom) then choose to apply the OTA zip
- install custom recovery
- root the chacha
- restore only data from your nandroid backup

bah, of course... why didn't I even think of it... Tried every possible combination except the one above... feeling like a noob ^_^ Thanks man.
Quick info.
Android version: 2.3.5
HTC Sense: 2.1
Software version: 1.52.401.1

I have a default S-ON European device, but original recovery is not reading the update.zip straight into recovery I get:
E: can't find /cache/recovery/command
Pressing power on apply update I get:
-- Invalid operation
Success in Reboot ........
Connecting via Wifi or Edge and checking for updates is not getting anything either, even though the phone is on 1.33.401.1 and completely stock
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

After the "can't find" error message hold volume up and press power. From then select update zip from sd.
Btw, market 3.0 included in this version. Looking better and better

Thanks a lot for your reply, however, I am still stuck.
OK more details here (THE DEVICE IS STOCK and S-ON):
- Pressed vol- while power up
- got the searching for PH06IMG.zip and then a menu
- I chose recovery
- I see green sync arrows
- Then I see red exclamation with phone
- Pressed vol+ and power
- get E: can't find, and a menu in upper area of screen
- if I hold vol+ and click power I get back to red exclamation screen
- if I select Apply update from sdcard, I get Invalid operation and reboot

So from this menu you select apply update and you get invalid operation? Hmmm, weird...
What sw version are you running right now? You do have 1.33 right?

Yes I have 1.33.401.1, I use a Mac and Linux so when I updated from 1.18 to 1.33 I had to get the rom.zip from the RUU and placed it on the sdcard as PH06IMG.zip it was the same SD Card but will still try a smaller SD Card to avoid SDHC issues tonight at home.
I am not sure if an RUU for 1.52.401.1 will be available or if HTC will allow the phone to find the update any time soon because the files have a date stamp of 7th October 2011 or this maybe a leak actually. Just wondering about internal space and unlocked bootloader as of now, because use data2sd will require root which I don't have and can barely install anything on this phone even though I like the form factor more than my DesireZ (keyboard is a must for me).

Try to make on your SD card a directory named as "download" and put the file there. There is a chance that after the next upgrade search you will be prompted to install it from SD.

thanks for the tip, though no cigar, I guess it needs to get information from the server that it should download / use previous download for verification.

Applied the 1.33 fw, but after I reboot into recovery, I see just the green sync symbol, followed by the red exclamation one. Nothing happens. The OTA file is on the sdcard. Any ideas?

hold volume up and press power, you will get a menu, chose update from sdcard, maybe it works for you. Filename should be update.zip

I really dislike (hate) market v3. It runs laggy, downloads a whole bunch of huge images (already takes 8MB of space) and some pages will timeout (from download page to accept&download).

I have rooted 1.33 firmware on my chacha, do I still need to apply a original one to update this OTA?
Thanks
btw, what's the difference between 1.52 and 1.33?

If you have CWM then install original 1.33. If not, you can continue, as said above.
Differences:
- New android version, 2.3.5
- New market version (official), 3.x.x (1.5 or something)
- New ?!? (To be completed)
- New ?!? (same as above)

[Q] Difficulting Rooting

So I just got my TF101 and I am also relatively new to Android. I am on version 3.2.1, Kernel 2.6.36.3 ([email protected] #1), Build number HTK75.US_epad-8.6.5.13, and my Serial number starts with B80KA.
Since I am on 8.6.5.13, I can't use Razorclaw, which is unfortunate.
I have tried using the Transformer Root Toolkit v7.1, but I can not get it to recognize the device when it is in APX mode so I am stuck there.
I also looked at this thread and followed those steps to no avail. Should I grab the OTA update and try those steps again? Or is there an easier way?
Thanks!
Edit: Fixed Serial.

First of wrong serial number.
Use the serial number on the bottom of your tablet or the back of your box.
Any how try this

The link you posted is almost identical to the one I did. So that suggests that I should just grab the OTA update and then root it?

if you grab the OTA you'll get 8.6.5.21 which definitely is NOT rootable with Razorclaw.
seems like the two methods is almost similar but slight different, i would at least try both to see which one work if any.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

You should search for OTA .19, I think it was posted around here somewhere or maybe via google, so you can update to .19 and use Razorclaw's tool.

Well I have 8.6.6.19 (in the form of UpdateLauncher_WW_epaduser8_6_6_19.zip), so does it matter that it is the one for the TF101G and not the TF101?
Also, what exactly do I do with that zip file to install the update? I tried booting into recovery but that didn't do much.

4) Enter in recovery mode. Power On + Vol Down, then Vol Up
I think that i make the things right....

Hey I finally got it to boot into recovery...and it worked! And I'm rooted! Woohoo, thanks everyone.
Now my last question is hopefully more simple. What do I do since my TF downloaded the OTA update? Is there a way to permanently postpone the update install? Will it go away if I install a custom ROM?

If you install a custom ROM it will go away. Alternatively you can install the latest stock ROM with root by installing this "custom" stock+root ROM. The system will be left exactly like you had somehow rooted the latest stock ROM.

You could flash a rooted stock rom or you can go into
Settings>Applications>Manage application>All>DMClient>Clear data.
Could also use Titanium Backup to freeze DMClient

[Q] Flashing a ROM without being able to boot phone.

So,
I'm a dumbass and accidentally flashed an "update package" rather than a full ROM. I can not get past the "HTC ONE" white screen now..I have full access to recovery and bootloader, but can't boot the phone to mount as "Disk Drive" so I have no way to put the .zip file I need on the SD Card. Is there a way to put the correct .zip...even a stock ROM onto the SD Card without the phone being able to boot? I looked around and couldn't find anything.
Thank you so much.
-Brian

Boot the phone into recovery, go to mounts and storage, mount system. In adb push the file to /sdcard/

Hi, I'm working on exactly the same thing. I am only about 20 hours in and have learned quite a bit, but not having an SD card you can slip into a PC card slot is a major challenge. I have managed to get recovery back on the phone, and am successfully connected via fastboot. I can't figure out the ADB shell...I've installed SDK manager and have tried to enter the ADB shell, but cannot. Keep getting error messages. WHen I attempt to flash a rom via fastboot, the process starts, but then quits with the error that my media does not include android-info.txt or android-product.txt. I have tried every tmo ROM available, and the Nandroid back up. It is a paper weight? Thanks to anyone who can shed some light!

That's not how to flash roms, perhaps that's why. If you don't understand adb you really should not be rooting or unlocking anything until you have a better understanding of the tools you have available. Otherwise you end up in here asking if your phone is bricked when really you just have no idea what you're doing in the first place. Flash recovery in fastboot, then flash the rom from recovery.

Yea I figured it out..I had a recovery working though.
With regards to rsvjoon,
As stoneyjonez said...you need to flash a recovery (Say CWM Touch) using fastboot...something along the lines of "fastboot flash recovery recoveryimagefilehere.img" and then reboot into recovery...etc etc.
I followed this this step-by-step process exactly and got it to work, I recommend the same.
Cheers

hello...i as well need a step by step about pushing the rom to /sdcard/ in adb....if you could pm me that i would be thankful!

Thanks...and you're right. But I have successfully flashed CWM recovery...I just can't get anything on the phone to flash. Fastboot starts the process but ultimately I get an error with each rom I try that it can't continue because I'm issing those two text files. So anyway, your point is well taken. In the past, once I had recovery, I'd just slip the micro SD card into my computer and pop a rom on it. totally different deal without that capability.

Thanks brwetz. That is exactly the process I followed when I originally rooted my phone...and everything was swell. I fongooled things when I flashed a custom rom (which also worked just fine) and then decided to restore my Nandroid. for whatever reason, that process left me in recovery with nothing on the SD card to flash back.
Thanks again for the response.

-Plug your phone into your computer using USB cable
-Make sure it says "Unmount /sdcard/" and "Unmount /system/". If they do not say that, just press them (they are toggles)
-Make sure the ROM.zip file is in the same directory as your AndroidSDK/adb (for example, mine is C:\AndroidASK\)
-Go into command prompt and type "cd c:\whereveryouradbislocated"
-Once you are in your AndroidSDK (adb) directory, type "adb push romname.zip /sdcard/romname.zip
-Unplug phone from computer, close command prompt
-Go back in Recovery to main menu and do a factory reset/wipe cache partition/wipe dalvik cache (I can explain those more if needbe)
-Again go back to Recovery Main Menu -> Install Zip from SD Card -> Choose file from SD Card -> Select the romname.zip file you just pushed from your computer and install that .zip
-Reboot phone, be patient as it will take a minute to completely boot up.

If you need further instructions, please PM me.
All of this information deserves much thanks to strker45 and doktartaru for their endless help getting me through the process.
EDIT:
Should I make a walkthrough thread about this just incase anyone else has this problem?

I am back in business! I was able to flash the CWM Rom 9.0.0 and then ultimately restored the stock Nandroid made available here. It's a beautiful thing. I bought you some beers! Thank you very much.

Anybody know how to flash the rom through fastboot instead of recovery by pushing the boot.img and system.img from the ruu? sd card isnt mounting in recovery for whatever reason so I don't have access to the .zip files on my sd card. more details in my post from brwetz's thread here.
Thanks in advance for any help.
