Hi,
I dont know how to use blob files as in how to extract them and stuff like that. But is it possible for someone to make an nvflash version of WW_epad-user-8.6.5.21 (from the asus site).
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I'm very unsure where to put this thread as my device has no forum of its own. I have a ViewSonic ViewPad 7 tablet, but I guess this is not even a device specific question, which is why I ended up posting it here.
I have an image of the stock ROM on my tablet (system.img + boot.img), but I'm unable to extract or flash the system.img directly, which is why I need your help. I've been reading some topics regarding this and tried out different methods, but either I am doing something wrong or the image is not complete. It was created using the cat command in the shell.
If any of you should be able to extract the system.img from this zip file I would be forever grateful, as I really need to get my stock ROM back so that I'm able to have Danish locale as well as text messages.
Thank you very much in advance!

How can I extract the Asus keyboards of out the Chinese version of the firmware and install them into the US version of the firmware?
I have both firmwares. I know how to copy system files through root explorer, and could figure out how to do it through adb. I just don't know which file has the Asus keyboards in it. I looked through the system APKs, but didn't find one that looked like it had it.
Hello Daoist, not sure if u got my messages, so here goes. Im on a rooted stock US transformer os version 8.6.5.9 i tried using your method to update to 8.6.5.13 and i used the check if all apks are there .zip you included in that tutorial. The test zip showed me that for some reason im missing kindle-oem.odex kindle-oem.apk maps.odex and maps.apk. So now im at a loss on what can be done, i would love to get my transformer up to speed, 8.6.5.19 I believe is your latest tutorial update. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If you want to update, you have a few choices:
1) find the source and restore the missing/modded files. You can download the manaul updates from the ASUS website (but you need to know how to unblob the files), or there might be a full rom floating around somewhere on xda or the internet.
2) modify the ota so that it skips the kindle and maps files. This would involve editing the updater-script and removing 8 lines- 2 lines for each file. Then rezip everything, (sign it), and flash it.
You could also roll your own custom rom...
Thank you gee one I would have to go with option 1 as i have no idea about either coding or editing a script. So far no luck with the source I might end up d/ling the update from asus website, just need to learn how to unblob it.

Ok so i dug through couple of .zips even found the files and got them back in system/app but update is still not recognizing them. Any way anyone could post kindle-OEM.odex maps.apk and maps.odex from v8.6.5.9 US? If sharing apks and files like that is not allowed then i am truly sorry i even mentioned it.

Hello, I'm very new to this forum so plz forgive me if I post this in the wrong place.
I recently bought a asus tf300 and flash the cmw recovery img. Since I'm unlock the bootloader, I no longer get update from ASUS website. My question is how am I manually update the blob file that I download from ASUS support website.
I have look alot threads about this issue, and I find out there are mainly three methods that can update the blob.
1. Using Asus Manual upload:
According to Asus website, they said just put the zip file in the micro sd card and the system will pop up an notification that will help u upload.
2. Using CMW to upload:
upload the blob with CMW recovery. There are some thread that tells me it will brick the device. But some people said it is ok to use CMW to upload the blob, therefore I'm a little bit confused about this method.
3. Wolf's way:

The following is my questions:
1. what is the difference between these three method?
2. if the CMW is okay can someone tells me the right way to upload the blob. Such as using the original build.prop something like that?
3. is it ok to use the wolf's way to update the blob?
Sorry for so many questions and my poor English.
I'd use the ADB / Terminal emulator method (Wolf's way mostly)
Place on transformer, then flash the 'blob' file through the staging partition.
You'll need to reinstall CWM and reroot everytime you do this, unless you manually extract the SOS partition out of the blob file ASUS gives you with blobtools then repack it.
Before anyone retorts, yes i have been through the forums and googled it. Nothing has worked yet
Ok, so i got this tablet called the skypad alpha2. There is an update for ics for it but it is a. Img file that has to be installed through their program calledlivesuite. Since it is a. Img file i am assuming it is a full system image because when it is installed it completely wipes everything.
Anyway, i have tried converting it, extracting it with unyaffs and all that.
Is there an alternative to unyaffs for windows?

Actually that could be useful. No idea on how to do it, but good luck!
Yeah.... that was helpful. Please try and refrain from useless answers. Thank you
