try re downloading it or make sure that you are rooted

Titanium Backup says i have root. Loaded again but same error. I have Android 3.0.1 on the Tablet could be this the reason?

Yeah, update to the latest firmware. It should work after that.
Try OTA Root Keeper (it might save your root so you don't have to root again).
IF not just update, run ViperMod again and install RecoveryInstaller

I can not flash the update. I put the Update on the SD, the system dedects also the update but after the restart the update breaks and the system restart again.
I desperate slowly

Did you extract the file you download to get to the zip file inside? You also have to rename that extracted file. I cant recall exactly what it need to be rename to but I'll check soon as i get near a PC

"EP101_SDUPDATE.zip" i think this is what you have to rename the file
edit: 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.x.x.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.x.x.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.x.x.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.
THESE ARE TIPS FROM BASEBALLFANZ POST SOMEWHERE ELSE ONLY I X'ED OUT THE FIRMWARE NUMBER TO DENOTE THE NEWEST FIRMWARE.... HOPE YOU DNT MIND

Thank you very mutch for your help. I have the last update installed 8.6.6.23 but i can this not rooted. ViperMod no longer works.

YYYEEEEAAAAHH
I have root with nachoroot. CWM is already on it. Many thanks again!

That's good to hear.

Getting files onto the root of the drive

I'm trying to install cyanogenmod on my G Tablet, but I can't figure out how to get files onto the root of the drive, specifically the update.zip and recovery folder.
I've successfully rooted it using z4root, thinking that would give me root access to the files - but not so...
So, I'm at an impasse. I can't move files from the sdcard folder, nor the sdcard2 folder into the root folder.
How can I get the needed files there?
Thanks!
they need to be in sdcard not root. at least it is where mine go
edit not sure with cyanogen. you may need a different file manager to place them in the root directory
try using ghost commander, it lets me move files around. otherwise plug it into a pc and move the files that way?

Ghost Commander is giving me the error, "File not accessible" when trying to copy it from sdcard to / (I assume this is the same as the linux filesystem?)
Edit: I've gotten it to give me root access, I'm just having trouble getting files to transfer now. It tells me that things transfer, but I'm not seeing them in the file system. I'll keep messing with it though.

You only need to put the update zip file on the main directory ( /sdcard ) not the root directory which is just ( / )
Then flash the update zip via recovery mode.
Be sure to wipe data and cache first if you are flashing over another rom, which it sounds like you are.

I just figured that out And this is my very first flash, so I'm entirely inexperienced with this.
I've just done the update.zip portion, now I'm moving onto the next step as detailed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
I was originally just going to flash with ROM Manager, but it force closes when I open it now, so I'll just follow this guide.

Possibly bricked B70 tyring to update!? HELP!

Hello, been around here just haven't posted yet. Anyways, I have a S/N: B70KAS420184 pad, on the .19 firmware, no rom, successfully rooted with razorclaw and clockwork running fine. I messed up flashing the ICS file and now I cant get anywhere. Entering recovery shows a status bar then instantly to the triangle with droid guy with exclamation point. It also will not get past the main eee pad screen and just hangs there. I tried nflash and when I run the download.bat (windows) the command prompt comes up, reads a few lines real fast then closes and the nvidia usb boot recovery disappears from the device manager list. Any help would be great please I've searched for everything. Tried this on two different computers, same result. Both running windows 7. Thanks, Josh.
Exact same problem here too. Tried putting stock firmware on SD card then hopefully it would install itself but to no avail.
Suggestions?

As far as I understand it with other devices, you can't flash a factory update.zip if you have custom recoveries (or at least shouldn't, because it would brick the device).
Is there any way to flash a recovery like others can do with nvflash?

If your B70 is one of the earlier batches with sbk1, you can use NVflash.
Mine is B70KAS1796**. NVflash works.

Unfortunatley Dreambox i have tried that but all i get is the triangle of doom. I think my recovery may be broken, and u have the later model tf101 (i think) so nvflash doesnt work for me. I install drivers for it then open download and it just flicks to a screen real quick then closes. Is that what is supposed to happen if you have the later model tf101?
thanks again.
Hmmm could be a problem with recovery but... could be a problem with the zip file.
As i am on a late model b70 as well i have been stuck a few times like that as well.
just to double check because these are the things that got me when i was stuck
did you unzip the downloaded file and copy the /asus/update/updatelauncher.... to the sd card
did you rename the file (update launcher) to EP101_SDUPDATE (this is case sensitive) and put it in the root of the SD card
Reboot to recovery volume and power down then when you see text in the top left corner press volume up?
anyone of these steps missed would cause the android with the triangle
Edit: If it boots to eee pad logo you should be able to save it. The only things that would give you the triangle would be the above and possibly wrong region code
Dude it worked, thanks heaps for that. Turns out i didnt unzip the file from the Asus website. I just assumed that was the ROM *facepalm*
Good job mate, i was nearly going to turf the tf101 and use that as an excuse to get the prime lol
No problem. Sorry about saving it tho...... Guess yer prime is gonna have to wait.
Im not seeing the update launcher file in the update folder. My update fold just has a zip file (US_epad-user8.6.5.21.zip) When I unzipped that, there are a few files and the google folder, within that folder, the only thing I have with udpate is update_binary and updater_script? Where is the updatelauncher file? Thanks

Yep that is the one. Sorry wrong file name. Copy the asus/update folder So copy (US_epad-user8.6.5.21.zip) that to the root directory and rename it to EP101_SDUPDATE reboot into recovery and you should be in back in honeycomb.
So on the microsd you should have
Asus/update/ US_epad-user8.6.5.21.zip
EP101_SDUPDATE.zip
Plus all your other files

I did this and when I boot into recovery (vol - & power them vol +) it shows the status bar like its going to install something for about 1 second then instantly to the triangle.
Did you make sure you unzipped the downloaded file.
Copied the ww.epad-user8.6.5.21 to root and renamed to EP101_SDUPDATE
These things can block you from proper recovery

Edit: should say US instead of ww
I downloaded the zip file. Unzipped the file and I now have an ASUS folder within that is an update folder with the zip file I mentioned before. I copied the whole asus folder to the main root of a clean formated sd card. I copied the zip in the update folder and moved it to the main root of the card where the asus folder is. I renamed and ran recovery, same triangle...I am trying another sd card right now.
EDIT: With clean and new sd card it is now showing the status bar. Not sure how long this takes but good sign that it didn't go straight to the triangle! If this works I owe you a beer! Thanks so much
No problem
Have fun
Edit: It could take a while and it might stall but just be patient it should go through.

Works for the B60 too. Thanks for this! I knew as soon as I reflashed .21 from .19 that I had killed my recovery. I tried EVERYTHING I could think of to get it back and just didn't work. Glad I found this because I hadn't even thought about putting the EP101_SDUPDATE on the SD card.
Cheers!

Help please! Phone wont boot. Need adb expert.

Hey all. I did something silly and deleted a file in system/bin folder while troubleshooting a problem. I made a backup of the file before deleting it in sdcard/download but my phone wont boot so I can copy the backup file back to system/bin. I am able to get my phone into download mode and I believe I could copy the file via adb. However I do not know how to get adb to recognize the phone in download mode. I type...
adb devices
and it states "List of devices attached" and there is nothing under the list but when I plug my phone via USB it shows "SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" in device manager so I know my pc is recognizing it. I have used adb before with batch files like 1click root and things like that so I know its just me not knowing the right commands to get my device recognized.
Any and all help is appreciated! I just need to copy 1 file from sdcard/download to system/bin and I would assume it would boot back up with no problem!
Thanks!
do u have cwm installed?
I just installed CWM v5.5.0.4 via download mode using this method. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/skyrocket-root-clockworkmod-cwm-recovery/
So now that I am in CWM I am trying to mount things like /system and it shows an error mounting /sdcard and I get that error messaging for mounting all except mount usb storage which works great. I was however able to get the file off my phone but now how do I get the file back to system/bin?
Yes.. you can (and really should) flash CWM from download mode via your PC/laptop. A few weeks ago I did something very similar and soft-bricked my SR by renaming an in-use file (framework-res.apk)... I also only had 3e, so couldn't just restore a nandroid or flash a rom zip. Go to the Dev section and find the thread by Copperhed ("Root the ATT SGH-I727 Skyrocket..."). read through the OP and follow instruction exactly. You will be Odin3 flashing just the CWM recovery partition... this will NOT trip your flash counter. If you are already rooted, you should retain root... if not, you can root via his OP. After you have CWM recovery, there's a way you can mount the sdcard so you can transfer files between your PC and SR... then, you can put the sbin file back and see if it reboots fine... if not, with CWM installed, you can flash (via zip.. not Odin) any rom/kernel/modem zip package you want.
Even though I installed CWM from a different source I thanked you anyways DoctorQMM! Now that I have CWM installed how to I transfer the file from my pc to the system/bin directory? I have been able to mount usb storage and it show up as a drive on my pc but when I mount /system nothing shows up. What am I missing?
Thanks for all your help! I am almost there! ^_^
hey, I recommended it first . Seriously though, download a kernel from the dev section, any kernel. Open it up in winrar, winzip, etc... and delete everything except the system folder. Now take the bin file u copied to ur computer and put it in a folder called bin. Put this bin in the kernel zip inside the system folder. Now delete everything else in the system folder. Put this file on a microsd, slip it in ur phone and flash it through cwm. this will put the bin back, and allow u to reboot phone
JDub... PM cdshepherd.... he's the one who shared with me you can use the mounts and storage option in cwm (then click "mount USB storage")... then you can copy files between your sd and computer without having to do what I did (which was pull external sd out of SR, mount in micro adapter, plugged into laptop and loaded files on the sd... then put sd back in phone.. booted into CWM and flashed the rom zip I put on there). Yes.. you are close! If you can't get that one file back to sbin on root, you could try to flash a stock rom/kernel zip (KK1 or LA3)... you only need to put that rom/kernel zip on your sd or external sd so CWM will see it.
icenight89 your right you provided the inspiration so I thanked you as well and appreciate the explanation. I will perform it now and see where I get. Let me understand this correctly in steps..
1. Download a kernel, any kernel.
2. Open it up, delete everything except the system folder.
3. Create a folder named bin and put the backed up file in the bin folder.
4. Delete everything else within the system folder except the bin file and bin folder. So it should be /system/bin/xxx.file
5. Put this on a microsd card and flash it through cwm. I assume I do this by selecting "install zip from sdcard?"
Thanks for the continual help! ^_^
I am having trouble with the kernel part. I downloaded a i727 kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340114&page=2. Opened it up and it has boot.img in it. Am I missing something?
Alright. I downloaded the kernel from here http://www.mediafire.com/?85g701ate11zdc9. The kernel contained a folder named system and deleted everything else. I then added the folder bin and added the backed up file I deleted to the system/bin/ directory. I then mounted usb storage via CWM and put the new .zip in there. I then selected "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from internal sd card" located the zip file and selected "yes." I then get the following read outs...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
--Installing: /emmc/sgh-1727-skyrocket-att-original-kernel_2.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...

So it looks like it is not installing. Am I doing something wrong?
wrong kernel, download this one:
http://faux.androidro.ms/sky-kernel-010b1.zip
delete everything from in there except system folder, including boot.img, and follow instructions again, should work

download a rom from Dev section. Doesn't matter which one. Try silvers rom you'll like it. Mount USB storage in cwm. Copy rom to sd. Eject SD from computer. Go back to main menu in cwm. Wipe data/factory reset. Wipe cache partition. Wipe dalvik cache(under advanced in cwm) format system under mounts and storage. Back to main menu in cwm. Install zip from sdcard. Choose zip(rom) you just placed on your SD. Flash it. Reboot device. Enjoy. And make a nandroid after it boots for the first time.

Did you make a cwm backup of rom you were using prior to this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
No, I did not make a nandroid backup. I had to install CWM from download mode and then I was able to get into CWM all without booting.
I appreciate your time in writing a solution however I am not interested in wiping everything and starting from scratch which is what your proposing. I simply deleted a file in system/bin named mediaserver so system/bin/mediaserver. When I rebooted the phone would not boot. I made a backup of the mediaserver before deleting it and placed it in the sdcard/download folder. All I need to do is copy the mediaserver file back to system/bin/ directory and phone should boot backup as if nothing ever happened. That's is how I understand it. Its just missing a file and I know what the file is and I have the file I just need to figure out how to copy it back over to where it belongs.
I do know how to install stock and other roms but after spending numerous hours on my first phone, SGS Captivate, to experience others roms like Darky's Rom the end result was that it was not worth me having to keep up with all the releases and bug fixes, loading in working kernels to make things work correctly and the like. I would rather just stick with stock. Its just a personal preference.
If anyone knows how to copy a file from my pc or from internal sdcard to my Skyrocket using Download mode or ClockWorkMod using any means but without wiping my data please let me know. Eventually if I do not get a solution I will be forced to revert back to the stock rom but I would rather leave that as a last resort.
I look forward to any other suggestions!
Thank you!
Without the ability to push/pull with adb your running out of solutions. I do hope that you get your skyrocket up and running no matter what method you use. And I do hope that someone with the ability comes along to help you. My way is prob the easy way out. If it were me ide cut my losses. Start from scratch, and try to figure out where my prob starts. Good news is there is a great community with plenty of help. Good luck mate.

Since my zip suggestion didn't work, try flashing a different kernel, romracer stockish 0.3 is a good choice, from cwm

Based on your first post, I don't think your pc is FULLY installed your device. Download mode requires additional drivers.........adb devices should return a serial number.
I have not tried adb on my skyrocket...I will do that for your sake and reply with my experience..

are you talking about .26?
on which version were you before update, .21 or .22?
are you on US, JN, CN, WW?
No, I just checked the Asus Service site and 9.4.5.22 is still the only update available. 9.4.5.26 is not showing up on their service site.
Was able to download it. Try this link:

I downloaded the US file successfully from that link, thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot! Downloaded the file and will now proceed with the installation
By the way, if you forget to use rootkeeper before the update like I did, debugfs method still works on .26 to re-root the tablet.
How is the manual update Done?

Just unzip the file you downloaded from ASUS and put the file into the root folder of the Infinity. After rebooting, it will say that it found an update. Just click on it and you are good to go
This might be a stupid question, but should u update to the .22 version, then .26, or can we just bypass and update to .26?
You can bypass and go directly to .26 from 21, that's what I did

Hold on now... folder structure?
The ZIP you're supposed to unzip only contains another ZIP, so what you should put on the internal drive or on a microSD is a single ZIP file.

I'm in the same boat as you. I received my exchange TF700 yesterday and assumed ASUS was rolling out an automatic update to this firmware that ends in .26 that I keep seeing so many threads about.
No automatic updates, checking for updates says "there are no update available for your device currently."
I thought this was a major update, to fix I/O flaws from the readings. Are not all TF700s not affected by this I/O flaw I wonder?
I'm sure there's more like me who will be in this boat as more Prime owners swap out their device for Infinitys through Best Buy.

That did it. I was unzipped both. After I left the second zip file alone and placed it in the SD it worked. Thanks very much!!!
Pretty easy to manually update via SD card. I updated to .26 last night. Just make sure your card is formatted as FAT32. My exFAT card failed. I've had fewer hangs.

can you manually update without a micro sd card? like where can you put the zip file so it can recognize the file?
also what's FOTA? is it Fast OTA?

The zip file you need is inside the zip file you download ...... download the zip file from the webpage into your download directory. Tap it and unzip it. Now you'll have two zip files with different names (It will probably unzip the file into it's own directory inside the download directory...the name of which will be the same as the name of the original zip file) .....move the new zip file into the /sdcard/ directory ....which is the main (root?) directory of your infinity. Shut down, restart ..... on restart, in the lower right, you should see a small triangle icon with a "!" inside of it. Tap that and it should tell you it's found a firmware update file, then ask if you want to update .....so then update, and you should be done after another reboot (automatic).

Stock Recovery Menu TF700T

I managed to get to the stock recovery back from cwm.....thanx to @eoh7678
But now I want to get access to the recovery "menu". I get into the recovery and end up at the android logo with a " ! "
I tried some key combinations but didn't help.
Please help me, thanks
The stock recovery does not have a menu. The only thing it can do is flash a stock firmware file loaded to the root of your internal storage (or external after renaming it). So what you are seeing is perfectly normal.
What are you trying to accomplish and how?

Actually I want to update it from stock 4.2.1 to 4.2.2. I have downloaded the update file from asus website but I don't know how to update it now. Can you please explain me properly? I have copied the update file in /cache. I made a file named command in /cache/recovery
and in that file I inserted "--update_package=/cache/<the update filename> .zip " and saved the file and then booted into recovery.
Nothing happened, the device did not update.
And then I again booted into the OS and found that the "command" file no longer existed! I have tried this 3 times.

The file you downloaded is called something like bla_bla_UPDATELAUNCHER.zip.
Extraxt that zip once and you end up with another zip: bla_bla_user.zip
Take the user.zip and put it into the root level of internal storage. NOT into any folder, just alongside your Downloads, Pictures folders etc., so into /sdcard/
The system should automatically recognize the file and give you a notification. If it doesn't, reboot.
If still nothing happens you either have an incorrect file or read this:
