Hi all,
I wonder if there is a repository of old firwmare to do a downgrade. In fact, from the ASUS website, just the latest firmware is available.
In particular, I'm searching for firmware Version V8.2.3.9(WW).
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
P.

If you use IRC go to the #asus-transformer channel and ask there. At least a few days ago multiple people had old firmware.
Good Luck
i think i have the zip for the .9 at home but its the US SKU
Somehow my copy got corrupted so I too am looking for the 8.2.3.9 WW version if anyone could share it please.
Edit: Found them here if anyone else needs them:

Hi Guys. I need help rooting my Transformer TF101. The Serial Number is B90. I just bought it 2 days ago and I upgraded to the official ICS (4.0.3) from Asus. I've been reading you can't root with this firmware, but I've also viewed threads with firmware version numbers like "8.6.5.19" and I have no idea where to find that or what it means.
I'm very confused haha. Please help me?
Thank You.
Try ViperMod (option 1)
I suggest this thread

Thank You, I will read that. But what I still don't understand is the "8.6.5.19" thing. On my "About Tablet" page, there is nothing that says "Firmware Version."
It stands at build number
That is right above mobile dock type and below kernel version. All transformers has one !

OH! Well Thank You! Mine is "9.2.1.17." Is it bad that it's a higher number?
It stand for the firmware build from asus. So it isn't bad now that custom kernels beeing made. The stock one probably makes your transformer reboot they think.
Mine rebooted twice now , both times it was when it was charging so i charge mine with power off nowadays
So will I be able to root it with ViperMOD with the firmware I have? Or will it mess it up and brick it or something?
[I CAN NOT BE RESPONSABLE FOR USING VIPERMOD ON YOUR DEVICE]
No it will not mess up thing if you use vipermod and choose option one. Keep in mind thats what ive seen people say and do with there devices thats why i posted the warning in caps.
Myself has an b70 in the time ive rooted it with razorclaw !
I'm still very confused on how to approach rooting this. I know I can't use Razorclaw because of my FW version. But I'm still confused on whether or not it's safe to use ViperMOD with my FW version. =/
You should take your time with it and good reading of the info is important. Because most mistakes we made not reading well.

Thanks man, I'm officially rooted .
I have a question, which mayb already has been asked & answered, but i just can't find it..
I'm on an Asus TF300T, and i need a recoveryblob 9.4.3.17 - the WW version (since i'm in NL), but its just nowhere to be found..
Somebody knows if this blob available somewhere ??
(or someone who got this on disk, or can extract it from a TF300T that isn't updated)
Any help is appreciated! Thx
--
Woops, this post ended up in the general section, and should go in Q&A! Sorry for that!!
Did your device ship with the .17 update or did it come with .26?
It came with .17, but stupid me upgraded as soon it asked for it...
So, i think some should be able to extract the BLOB memoryblock from an original (non-upgraded) WW device..
Fellow dutchie here, is there anything I can do with an updated rooted tablet running .26? (aside from trading my tablet, lol).

Well, unless you made a backup of .17 before the upgrade to .26, i don't think you can help
Don't screw up your install, you can't reflash it to root at the moment
(Except for .17 US)
Sorry man, no backup
Good luck anyhow.
Looks like this is the dutch forum.
I updated to .26 as well just as you.
Not knowing I would probably be better of staying at .17 and then get it rooted.
Oh well, it's just a matter a of time I guess.
I don't suppose anyone still has the .17 blob file that can upload/share it? Been searching for days without any luck.
Hi guys,
I'm fairly new with all the rooting stuff, as I never had any reason to do so. However, since some games (where's my water for example) save their save data in the /data/ folder, I need root.
I was actually about to downgrade my tablet using these steps, but since I apparently run a WW build according to my settings app, I understand I have to wait? Or is there only a specific reason not to use a US version (i.e. localization issues)?
However, a friend is maybe going to buy a TF300 and is probably going to root it, so if he buys it I will check the firmware version and see if I can extract it. Its the least I can do after all the years xda helped me with my smartphones.
Me too Dutch
no .17 ww file found. please upload one!!
i am on .17 us rooted but can not receive the OTA .26 update.
ww 9.4.3.17 blob file needed
I've got my 300t about 1,5 week ago and was so stupid to upgrade to .26.
I need .17 ww version also.
Please upload!
Thanks
Marco
We need someone with an unrooted .17 bought in Europe, except DE..
The process of extracting the firmware is fairly simple...

Well, i can't remember the localization issues i found, but i know i found them..
More important, it doesn't seem to get any updates, so you stay on .17 when you're in europe..

You won't receive WW OTA updates when you are on a US firmware...

Hello,
I bought a TF700 and I need the firmware 9.4.5.30 WW to downgrade then root.
I've been on the Asus Website but the old firmwares just disapeared... No comment... I tried to find it on many website but I still can't download it.
Does anyone has this firmware please ? He really would help me.
Thanks.
All the different firmwares are linked in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946456
Thanks a lot, you just saved my day !
Thanks
Just had to say thanks to you both for this thread...for asking the question .... and for the answer....I was googling and looking all over for these older firmwares since they've been off of ASUS's website. Thanks again!!!
Thanks!!
Hello everyone, just to start, i'm sorry if this has been asked too many times, but i've been wandering all over the forum and cant find what i need.
(i'm kinda lost using forums)
I have a brand new TF300TL wich is sim locked for certain company, but on my country, this company does not exists. So i need to unlock this pad in order to use it with my provider.
I'¡ve been reading some things and i found here wich seem to be instructions to root the device.
As there is no step by step instructions, i'm quite lost.
I understand that in order to root my pad i need to have it connected to my computer right?... But... ¿How do i connect it? I only have the pad, no docking and this pad has no port, only the docking port, not an USB.
¿Is there another way to root this device without connecting it to a desktop computer?
¿Is there another way to sim unlock this device without rooting or connecting to a desktop computer?
The pad is running ICS (4.0.3)
Thanks for your time and patience.
You use the charging cable. Connect the USB of the charging cable to your computer and place the charging cable in your tablet as you normally would

OK!, thanks didn't notice that...
Now, how do i know that the device is ready to root? I downloaded the unlock device apk, it did some work, it rebooted and then it said device is now unlocked.
Is that the unlock i have to do before rooting?
Anything else needed?
Sorry to keep bothering, but i still cant find a step by step and dont want to mess it up.

The above should help if you're on JB. I think you need to install a custom recovery next (TWRP might be better) but I haven't rooted or unlocked my device yet so I'm not completely sure of the process

Go to the transformer general section top of page. Use krapple2548 method. Very easy took about 15 min.
Ok, new issue.
Went to ASUS website and found firmware, but it says only for WW or TW SKU.
In build number, i have none TW or WW, mine says US
¿What now? ¿Which to choose?
¿Noone?

Can you give more details about your device? When you go to "settings" what Android version does it say?
TW SKU = firmware for Taiwan, I believe. WW is worldwide. US is obviously US.
The link to the firmware download page is here. Keep in mind if you upgrade to Android 4.1 (jelly bean) it will lock the bootloader and you will NOT be able to re-unlock it, root it, or customize it further. If you want to be able to revert back to an ICS bootloader you'll need to create NVFlash files.
I hope this helps. I'm not an expert so take everything I say with a grain of salt

That link is dead, no OS chosing option enabled.
EDIT OK, now the link is not dead, anyway, as i said before, there is no SKU for my tablet wich is US while the page has only WW and TW.

Rooting - if you are on ICS, yes you can root without unlocking. If on jb, no.
Recovery - you must unlock no matter what you're running.

Have you already tried the debugfs method for rooting? Search for that in the Dev section. I don't have a tl so cannot confirm. I see what you're saying about the Asus site. If you want to be adventurous try installing the ww. Strange they put out a us build with no matching firmware. I have heard of others installing different SKU builds without unlocking but again can't confirm with this model.

Even though "Miss congeniality" already left the building:
Yes the debugfs rooting works.
Yes there is a JB 4.1 US ROM up now.
The original poster didn't really grasp the difference between bootloader unlocking, rooting, and SIM unlocking.
