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

Hey Furzbirre,
I tried everything here - no luck. Could you please tell me what you exactly did?
I have a 8.6.6.23 / BA0 / TF101G (seems pretty the same version you have).
Thank you very much, Thomas
PS: What I tried already:
- downgrade with 8.6.6.19 version floating around on multiupload
- unzipped the epad...zip from the download
- put it on microsd, internal sd, renamed it to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip
- rebooted with vol-down/power, then vol-up: android update started
- yellow sign: no update possible - still 8.6.6.23
-> what have you done diffrently?

I try downgrade my TF101G serial BAO... and dont work. In recovery mode appears a yellow triangle when try load a EP101_SDUPDATE.zip

Nachoroot
Use Nachoroot, it works, no downgrade necessary
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427838

Hello,
I have the same TF101g than tsch with 8.6.6.23 ROM.
I used NachoRoot and I have successfully rooted my TF101G.
But now I don't know how to install ClockWork Mode ?

See the link in my signature for assistance with CWM.

in some thread i found this method: after you unzip file, you make name one copy of this file ""EP101_SDUPDATE"" then you make another copy of this same file and name ""WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19"" so on the end you have 2 same files with diferent names, now you copy this 2 files to micro sd card
and another copy 2 files to tablet sdcard, root folder
after going to recovery mode is installing with no problem, just done 2 days ago
and dont forget to remove this files after instalation and reboot
i hope is gonna work for you ether

Yeah, just don't bother putting them on the internal memory, it doesn't search the root of that drive, it checks the system/cache (I think) folder for official Asus updates, stick with keeping it on external memory, especially if unrooting because if you place these files on your internal and return it if someone else roots the device and finds these files it is a smoking gun that it has been rooted in the past. Just in case...keep it on your external (and that might have been my post you read that in, I have found that the EP101_SDUPDATE file is not even necessary )

Possible fix for lost root with 8.6.5.21

2nd update today! 4th Jan
Thanks to GLS9 and Baseballfanz for the info. It seems we have a universal root. 'Nachoroot'.
Check it out here if you were left stuck with the other methods. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427838

- Get Razorclaw and install it, no root needed.
- Get the recovery installer and do the same.
- Check your version info. You'll see a pair of letter which are like the "WW", "UK", "US" pairs in the various update files. It appears, at least when I was trying to do this, that you cannot use unmatched pairs (I don't know about the "WW" one, since I started with US and (accidentally) went to .13 US version).
- Follow the instructions regarding downloading the .13 update (WW version and/or whatever letter pair your tablet uses, in case the WW doesn't work). Unzip, slap on external SD, power off, power on with down volume, volume up to go to recovery, bang. Done.
- Do the same thing with the megaupload file (.19). The second option did fix the problem I had, which was trying to update to a WW.19 firmware from a US.13 - DO THE DOUBLE FILE/RENAME TRICK. It works perfectly.
- Run razorclaw, run recovery installer, and gloat.
Seriously, now knowing how the paired-letters-not-compatible-with-other-letters thing works, the whole process would take maybe 10-15 minutes tops. Thanks for the post!
update. Success does seem to vary and some people have managed to make this work with a different SD and other variations. If my method or Trip's doesn't work for you have a look at some of the tweaks that other guys have used. If you did something different and it works let us know. Thanks.
I have a UK transformer and I lost root after the OTA 8.6.5.21 update. Yes, should have checked before applying.
Wasn't able to root with NVFlash so I downloaded http://www.multiupload.com/X65RBVD2MB the 8.6.6.19 file that was posted by Lizard here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393953&page=3
I unzipped it until I had the WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip file. I placed this on the root directory of the external SD card and when I rebooted it gave me the option to install.
This installed OK so I just re-ran Razorclaw and sorted. I have superuser back.
Warnings and all. This would seem to be the US update but is working fine on my UK B70 (presumably SBK2 pad). I've installed CWM and backed up too. No promises that this won't destroy your pad/steal your gal or boy/shoot your dog.
Card formatting?

That was formatted with NTFS.Tried another microSD in FAT32, just copied the WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip file and VOILA', all worked flawlessy (method 1).
Step by step
1) Download http://www.multiupload.com/X65RBVD2MB
2) Unzip so you have just have WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip. Keep this zipped and copy to root of external micro SD.
3) Reboot with card in place, don't enter recovery.
4) When it booted back into the OS I had a triangle in the notification bar. I clicked this and it offered to install the update.
5) After tab updated as usual I just re-ran Razorclaw and I had root back.
Update. trippmcnealy had success with a tweak to this. If it doesn't work you might want to follow his method.
1) Download http://www.multiupload.com/X65RBVD2MB
2) Unzip so you have just have "WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip". Keep this zipped and copy to root of external SD.
3) Put another copy of the same file on your external SD card and name it "EP101_SDUPDATE.zip"
4) Put both files "EP101_SDUPDATE.zip" and "WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip" on the root of your internal SD card.
5) Power down your TF
6) Power up into recovery - by pressing the power button and volume down button. Then press volume up when instructed by the screen.
7) You should now see the Android guy with some gears turning. This is good, actually this is GREAT! This will go on for a minute or so and then the device will reboot on its own. It will then go to the boot screen and you should see a bar showing you the progress of the update.
8) Once it has completed, install RazorClaw and root your device.
Tips from Baseballfanz
For those not able to get it working, a few things to check.
1-Make sure you actually extract the WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip within the zip. Inside the file you download is an Asus folder, inside that is an Update folder, inside that is the WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip file you'll be working with.
2-When renaming, if your PC is set to "hide known extension", you'll not see the .zip so if you type in .zip you'll get filename.zip.zip The file manager on the TF should show you the extension
3-Make sure it's on the root of the sd card and not within any folder.
4-Check spelling of files
WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip EP101_SDUPATED.zip
5-Micro sd card is in FAT32 format. Try a different card or format again (after saving your stuffs)
6-File manager on the TF sdcard is internal and Removable/MicroSD is the external sd card.
Suggestions
It would be useful for people to report info with posts about success or not. What SBK, serial number (B70 etc) and current firmware are you on? I'm no dev but hopefully we can make things easier for others.

Ah, this seems interesting! I also have a uk transformer and will give it a go.
So you don't need anything else but stock? I will try this now, and does it wipe your data? Used asus backup just in case.

Cool
Hi,
thanks for the info. As far as I know the WW-version is not US only, but should match the version you have (you can check that in the settings/about tablet).
As far as I know WW stands for WorldWide and actually means US and (most of) Europe. There are special versions for Taiwan, Germany and Canada though...
I will try this later with my transformer (bought in switzerland) - i should work!
Regards, Thomas

Yeah I was thinking that. It comes with all the country files anyway.

I tried this a couple of days ago and it didn't work, turns out I unzipped the wrong file.
Unzip the .19 update to the root of your sdcard and reboot the transformer if it doesn't detect the update.
Now I haz root.

So external or internal? And just reboot or recovery? Vol down+power then vol up? Thanks, sorry for the questions!

Hi there,
I unzipped to external and rebooted with the card in place. I didn't use recovery. The OS detected the update and offered to install. Just proceeded from there.
I mentioned the US update as the file is 8.6.6.19 not 8.6.5.19
Good luck.

I'm still getting the dreaded triangle when trying this fix, any suggestions?

Hi Samuel
Can you talk us through what you did and your setup? I'm no expert but hopefully we can find out what's awry.

Nice 1 m8. Do yo think this will work with B40 model? Where in leeds are you from? I in pudsey.

Should this work with the TF101G (B90 / DE / 8.6.6.10) too?

But is it ok/safe? Guessing it is. Just popped up saying there is an update for me as well, going to give it a go now.
The honeycomb upgrading 'droid is so cool! I think its working fine!
If anyone could make a Uk one, that would be great. I am thinking the reason why this is working is because of the increase in firmware numbers, from x.x.5 to x.x.6.

Hi Seg2012
Only tried on mine until others can update to say it worked. You should be able to root with NVFlash though.
I'm from Morley but live nearer to Dewsbury now. Small world!

Going to flash this to my B90 US tablet, will report back-

This is great, worked perfectly! Now onto a custom rom! Revolver I think!

First off I downloaded the WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip file. I placed this on the root directory of the micro SD card. Secondly I reboot my new baby using the power button and the down rocker of the volume button.I then pressed the up rocker to get into the recovery mode, now I only then get the green android with the yellow triangle with exclamation. My Asus tf is HTK7.WW.EPAD-8.6.521-20111216 any help would most appreciated.

I didn't use recovery. Just rebooted and the tab detected it. I clicked the triangle in the bar, it offered to update and went from there.

I have tried to root my TF doing it the way trippmcnealy say and to no success. I would get the android with gears turning then it would turn into an exclamation point and after a bit boot normally.
Anyone has the same issue? If not and you successfully rooted, feed back would be great. Oh when I got it, I updated without thinking.

You can't root a b90 on .21, you have to downgrade to .19 and root with razor claw.

Double check your file to make sure it's not filename.zip.zip if your PC is set to hide known extension and you rename it to filename.zip you're gonna get the extra .zip behind it.
Also it seems like the 2nd method by trippmcnealy getting better results for peoples

Did that too. I caught the .zip.zip and changed it. Still nada. Will try again. Another thing, from the external sd card, you take the file and copy and paste to filemanager and not in a folder correct? Cause I wasn't putting it in a folder and just added to the filemanager.

Yes it has to be on the root of the sd card, don't put it in any folder.
It will scan the sd card but not scan inside any folder.
Seems like you need two files on the external sd card and two files on the internal sd card as per trippmcnealy's method

So I leave the USB hooked up also as it's recovering? Will try now but with the US .13 first then update to WW .19.

No you don't need the USB connected.
Also after you downloaded the file you did unzip to get
WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip out of the zip file correct?

Pasted onto root of internal..........powered down......volume down/power then up when prompted...nothing.

You can try this to see, someone said they changed the WW to US and it worked for them. Outside of that I'm not sure what else you can do.

Thats exactly what I was getting ready to do....let you know how it goes.

Quick update, nothing, I did notice that when I do a recovery it says something about recovering kernel and not update?

wait a min...........well, this is what it tells me.
System Update
The update package is not compatible with your current software, please check your software version and version number in Settings and try the correct update package.
System is restored to previous configuration.

After you download the file, did you extract the file within or are you using the file as is?

I transfer both files without extracting anything. Going to try and do the US.13.

Well that didn't work, looks like I will have to wait for a fix, thanks for you time and help!

Is this the password for the Android OS, or is it an encryption password?
If it is an encryption password before the Android login, you will need to do a format data (wipe the entire /data/ partition including /data/media/ a.k.a. /sdcard/). If your internal memory was encrypted then it would make sense why CWM cannot mount the /sdcard/.
Can you install zips from the microSD with your recovery? If so you could try flashing another recovery zip file and see if that works. You could also try to use adb to install another recovery when you are in CWM.
