ive searched loads of threads for this answer but evrything is all over the place and a bit confusing so im just looking for a simple solution, can i get the uk update at all, i updated to the us leak and would like to have the uk update now since its available but dont know how to get it, i am unrooted
thanks in advance
I think you might have to wait until its released on the uk asus page to manually flash it, I could be wrong though!
ah thats cool then mate, i will wait until i can grab it, thanks for your help
or you can
- get the uk V8.2.3.13 rom from asus support
- extract the zip, rename the extracted zip file to EP101_SDUPDATE.ZIP to root of external sd card
- then power off
- vol down+power on
- vol up to start flashing the uk V8.2.3.13 rom
now you back in blighty the notification should be available to update to 3.1 honeycomb. that's how i did it.
This maybe the only option avaialbe, because I think that official method as described on asus support will only allow update with same geography. (empahsis on 'I think')
good luck!
Nice one mate will give that a try

tried that but its just coming up the android man holding an exlamation mark
sorry, I not at home now, so don't have the names of the files from asus support site to compare for you.
I think I remember the official extracted file was had a '.zip.zip' ending. make sure to it's just .zip - use a file manager on the tablet
This is the same procedure as I used to get onto the leaked us rom onto my uk tab. Expecting we are now dowgrading to official UK 3.0 from asus support
the original and possibly clearer instruction are here: http://forum.androidcentral.com/asus-eeepad-transformer/88744-transformer-3-1-update-here.html
Its the same way I got the leaked one on too but can't seem to get it to work on for this

checkout this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102209
where others had luck downgrading. Also Specifically post #16, the guy mentions possibly there are zips within zips... which may help you.
thanks mate, tried all that but its still giving me the same android guy with exclamation mark, will just have to keep the us opne for the time being i think
just checking, is the ww version uk or is there a uk version, i cant see a uk one so i got the ww, migth be me been a complete idiot lol
got it working, i was being stupid and renaming it to EP101_SDUPDATE.ZIP instead of just renaming the zipto EP101_SDUPDATE.
thanks for all your help, this forum rocks !
Lolz, glad u got sorted!

lol i wish i never, now i keep getting a force close error
I did the same thing - downgraded as described above from the leaked US 3.1 rom to the 3.01 WW rom from the Asus website. After that I did a factory reset to get it clean. No force closes aftdr that.
I now am back on 3.01 WW build but when I check for a system update I am told there is not one available. Do Asus stagger the updates? I have seen other posts saying they can't see an update.

Did you get notified of the 3.1 update instantly after downgrading?

no. I downgraded on monday, in anticipation of getting the update on tues/weds. I only acutally upgraded this morning when i clocked the 'tracker' thread that some uk peeps were getting theirs via manual check.
are you really back to 3.0?... check interweb settings is alright?... remove any roms on int/ext sd cards?.... did the manual check?... not sure what else to try really....
I justice twenty back to the us one will just leave it at that for now

I got a replacement TF today as the screen on the last one refused to turn on after leaving it off for a while. Completely dead even though the alarm kept going off at 5am(annoying).
Anywho I got the replacement and I have had no notifications about an update. I have just manually updated it to the .13 one and still nothing OTA.
I'm in the UK too. Hope they upload it to their severs soon so I can just do it by sd card again.
Any other Canadians able to update to .26, ive been trying for 3 days checking updates and havent gotten anything at all for signs of an update available.
Anyone know if our version up here would be slightly different at all?
I'm not in Canada but have had mine for a little over 2 weeks and haven't received the update yet either.

I updated mine manually. I never got any OTA. Im from Vancouver.

the manual update doesn't let you keep root or does it?
the forums get a bit confusing on that with everyone posting slightly different things at times.
Not sure as i dont root my devices.. but im guessing it wont

As I booted for the first time the update was there. I will root when it is more solid. Besides I don't need to be rooted yet either. I hear that there will be an update soon to fix the occasional flicker prob on the left hand of the screen.
There is a. 29 US and no OTA update to. 26 WW for me in Canada.... Still at. 17. Do they do this on purpose or is it a bug?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2
No update yet, though in a way I'm glad because otherwise I probably would've updated and then been unable to root without downgrading (which sounds like quite a bit of a hassle). Since I haven't encountered any major issue with the tablet thus far I'm not too worried about not having the upgrade.
I wouldn't have rooted if it weren't for Sixaxis controller needing it, but while I was at it I took advantage of that to grab Titanium and a few more root apps and am glad I rooted in the end.
Weird.. my Canadian TF300 came with US firmware. The tab was brand new sealed in box from tigerdirect.ca.

That's because Tiger Direct ships product directly from their US warehouse. Same distribution for both countries. You are fortunate, will get .29 update with battery stats and face unlock.. Fyi: For Canadians wanting to upgrade to. 26, go to Asus support Site where you can download and manually install... Just did it

Apparently root can be saved and restored with an app called voodoo root keeper?

No, it's called Voodoo OTA Root Keeper for a reason... It only works with OTA (over-the-air) updates.
FYI to fellow Canadians not receiving OTAs, Asus has posted the .29 update on their support site today. I just installed, working perfectly. You can find it here: http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=ASUS+Transformer+Pad+TF300T&p=20&s=16 Make sure you check to ensure you install the correct software version. Is confirmed in Settings/About Tablet/Build Number. Enjoy.
I am going to assume now that the bootloader unlock tool is out its easier to flash su and such onto this to root it?
am i correct on this?
I bought mine from directcanada.com and received .29 OTA no problem, straight out of the box

Well sounds like the early adopters like me got screwed.. well that oughta teach me a lesson :/
Update
Mine did the OTA update to .29 a couple days ago. Should be pushing to everybody now.
still nothing here, still checking every day. where did you buy yours Fraserlm
I'm not getting anything either... got mine from BB, was on US .17, returned that due to lack up updates (and not being able to unlock), got a new one from BB which is on WW .17 and still no updates/unlock
Anyone hear anything about possible fixes from asus?
By browsing the thread here I feel updating to jelly bean may not work out well for everyone. I got the OTA downloaded and sitting in my tf300, is there anyway to back out of it once it is installed? Please let me know .... TIA
I dont see why not, but you have to unlock BL, root, install custom recovery and flash back to a ICS rom. So if your intent is to stay pure stock and keep warranty, your probably not gonna be able to roll back to ICS if you commit to JB.

I tried to roll back by loading the firmware on internal SD. It updated but left me on jb. My boot loader is not unlocked so I would speculate no, but others are trying to do the same, so you might search other posts for this.

Thanks!
I just pulled the trigger and installed JB. I don't feel much differences. Given I just got the tf300 for less than a week, time will tell.

I'm having issues since I updated to JB and I am BL locked but rooted. Can you confirm this is 100% true, that you can't get back to ICS w/out unlocking and have installed a custom recovery? I was hoping to keep my warranty intact, this is exactly the reason I did. I think I may be sending this back to ASUS to be fixed under the warranty

Download the update from ASUS site. Extract once, you'll get another zip file. Place this zip file in your INTERNAL SD. Turn off your tablet. Turn it back on and you'll receive an update notification

Or try use method with script+dlpkgfile. For some users it works.

Sorry for the late reply im doing this to help anyone viewing the thread. This was the solution that worked for me thank you though i feel kinda dumb afterwords. the reason i had the problem is i was used to devices having built in updates. Thanks again.

Also make sure that you are no "unlocked'. I am and was never able to get OTA update
Hoping someone can help here. Have unlocked my pad a few months ago but now have another one to unlock. Been onto the Asus support site and can see various unblock files but they seen to be for the 701 or the 300, except for some which don't specify a model at all. Does anyone know which will work of anyone have a copy of the we one for JB?
Cheers all

Unlock Tool v7 or v8 will work with the TF700
Top man thanks very much. I could have sworn last time I unlocked one it was actually listed as for the 700!

Yes it's there, I am suffering from premature senility and confusion as I was convinced that last time I downloaded it the header said for specific SKUs and model names.
One follow up question you guys may be able to help me with...
This is to replace an inifinity that I have just sold as it didnt have a dock. That one is running Cromix 5.4 (not F2FS) and the guy who's bought it wants to downgrade it back to stock (no idea why, but am sure he will want to go back, once he's run it for a short time), does he need to reflash the firmware for the original SKU (ie the US one) or can he use WW now?

He should use the US one if that is his SKU. Just flash the zip in the zip in recovery.
