I have tried to update via Settings > About Tablet > System Firmware Update > but the "Check Update" button is greyed out.
I have also tried installing 9.2.1.11 via an external Micro SD card, but the card simply mounts. I have unzipped the .zip I downloaded from the ASUS site, this created another .zip file, WW_epad-user-9.2.1.1.11.zip.
If I unzip that file, I get a folder with the same name. Inside that folder is a file called blob and a folder called META-INF with RSA security certificates and another folder.
I suspect I need to update to an older update first, maybe even a few updates before I can jump to ICS. But the ASUS site only has 9.2.1.11.
I have searched extensively, and read quite a few pages of posts. But no joy.
The tablet is completely stock, not rooted and is the B50 variant. I'm not an ANDROID noob, by any stretch of the imagination. But the tablet is my girlfriends, and I have only ever played with the ZTE Blade and currently my LG O2X, running ICS (Thanks owain).
So from the fear of f*****g up my girlfriend's best gift from me. I just thought I would ask some experienced folks here for help.
I hope someone can help. Kind regards. Anil K Solanki
After you unzip the download, you will have WW_epad-user-9.2.1.1.11.zip in a folder ASUS/Update/ or something like that. I think you can try 2 things 1) Try copying the whole ASUS folder and all the contents to the root of your sdcard and then insert it onto the TF. It should find it and ask you if you want to flash or 2) rename the second zip to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip and put it on the root of your sdcard then reboot into recovery. This one might be tricky with windows because I think it is case sensitive or it might try to add a .zip to your .zip.zip. Thanks for nothing windows... Good luck with windows 8.
I think you'll need a stock recovery, but hopefully one of those methods will work so that you don't need to get a new girlfriend.
this worked for me
Go to settings - apps - all - find the DMClient entry, force close, clear cache and restart your TF
the button was not greyed out

ICE Cream Sandwich baby! Option 2 worked. I have never booted the Transformer into Recovery before, so I got to see a great animation of some gears spinning inside an ANDROID robot. Cool.
I have been asking myself, "why the f**k are you bothering with this update?". Susy my girlfriend doesn't care, as long as the tablet continues working. But after 5 mins, I can tell it is a lot faster. Worth staying up until 1.30 am for.
Many thanks. Anil

I did the wrong thing and assumed my phone was still rooted after using t-mobile's upgrade from froyo to gingerbread.
I flashed my phone and now I am stuck on the manual mode screen. I assume (oh boy) I cannot place a custom rom since my phone wasn't rooted and therefore doesn't have permission to write to the phone. (I can't flash bootloaders)
At this point my data on phone is trashed I am sure, but I do have the contents of my sd card intact. I didn't backup before I started - hijole! I know.
I am not sure if I can use Super one click to root and continue to install a custom rom, or I should go back to base line and restore to original. Problem is I don't know how to goto the original at this point, and I don't know if super one click will work with my phone at its current state.... Argh! Will post pic of screen when I go to lunch today... Thought i had it with me on my iPhone. I assume to much!
Can you be more specific on the manual mode screen and what it looks like? Just to clarify, when you flashed from Froyo to GB (using Kies Mini, I assume) you did lose root. However, that does not prevent you from flashing a custom ROM. You can use ODIN or Heimdall to flash a ROM, then use one of those again to flash a kernel with root, with CWM, with voodoo lagfix, all of the above, or use SuperOneClick (the latest) to root it.
I'm guessing you might be able to get into download mode which means you could ODIN RaverX3X's 2.3.6 Stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353176) which is the Kies Mini official update just repackaged for ODIN. That will get you onto stock 2.3.6. From there you have options
I am supplying a pic of the "Manual Mode" I was referring to, and yes I did originally use Kies to upgrade from Froyo to GB. Again thanks for the info:

Sweet, so you have it working?
I think he says is stuck on that screen.
Do a battery pull on your device to turn it off, then put it back in. To put it into download mode for odin, hold volume up+down while plugging your phone into your pc. Then use odin to flash.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
The problem he initially had is the rainbow screen and, although he can get into download mode, he's been unable to get his computer to see the phone. Thus he couldn't use ODIN to re-flash a good ROM.
djlalorocks, can you verify the state of the phone now? The screenshot you gave, by the way, is the CWM recovery screen. If we can get a good CWM-based ROM onto your SD card then you could flash from there.
Do you have an SD card reader for your computer you can use? I know the phone's not working in mass storage so that option is out.
Edit: My apologies; I went back and re-read what you wrote. When I saw that you found the upload feature I thought you meant you got a ROM to upload to the phone. I didn't realize you meant the picture of the screen. I'm slow sometimes
Haven't had a chance to work on it... I am on a mac, and yes I can place files onto a sd. My windows computer is having usb driver issues.

Heimdall (open source alternative to ODIN) works on the MAC, I believe. Regardless, if you can download Raver's Kj6-Rom-CWM-Offical-GB-2.3.6, put it on the SD card, go into the recovery screen (the one where you made the screen shot), use the volume down key to scroll to "install zip from sdcard", press the power button to select it, then select "choose zip from sdcard", scroll to where you put the file mentioned above, select it with the power button, then scroll to "Yes - Install sgs4g-OfficialGB2.3.6.zip" and select it.
Hi
Here are the nvflash versions for the .17 update. For those that wanna go back to stock for warrenty or have a dualboot this can come in handy.
I've tested the WW version on my on transformer and it worked (got a B70 with SBK1) created the US and TW version the sameway with the same config files so it should work! LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKS FOR YOU
But remember i'm not responsible for any bricks flashing my causes and you do this on your own riks.
Quick guide:
1. Connect cable to computer and turn device on while holding down Volume Up. Screen will stay off, but USB will come on.
2. Find “APX” device in Device manager and update driver, then point it at usbpcdriver directory from the zip.
3. Run download.bat.
I'm hosting them on my own server:
http://www.xdafileserver.nl/
*Added US version, and TW version
Thanks
.
Worked great on a B60 and a B70.
Thank you.

not for TF101G - B90 ?
Nopes these are only for versions with SBK1 and the B90 series doesnt have that sorry m8, but there are otherways to get back to stock for B90 just look in the dev section.

oow.. thanks for the reply..
mine still in stock, but HC 3.2.1.. i thought ICS for TF101G already available for certain countries..
thanks a lot anyway..
@Korumera
I want to create JP version.
Can you tell me how to create ?
Thanks would this remove any version of clockwork recovery such as the disasterours 5.x that makes you do a cold boot on each restart?

Yes
NVFLASH'ing removes every partition and restores the orignal one.
Windows won't allow me to install the driver. It says the third-party INF does not contain digital signature information, and it doesn't give me an ignore and proceed anyway option. Any ideas? I'm doing this from device manager.
Edit: if anyone else has this happen, rebooting to boot options (the screen that lets you boot into safe mode and such) there is a setting to disable signed drivers. That worked for me.
This is so useful. Thanks.
Really good job! Thanks man!
nicely done! I was thinking about creating one for this version but I got tied up with work.
No problem
Hope it comes in handy!
and chadster214 work comes first at least they say so haha

Hmmm try to flash it again, i've checked the zip file and it contains all the files including the recovery (blob.sos)
Thanks a lot. Fixed a issue for me. No matter what I flashed I couldn't get the wifi to work again. Just stayed in a state of trying to turn on.
Tried and tested the WW version; no problem at all.

I install the new NVFLASH_ICS_9.2.1.24_WW_NOROOT
My recovery it's the same, how is the recovery stock? you have screens?
I read that is normal in stock (android with admiration sign)
Thanks in advance, sorry for my english
This process works fine. A few things to keep in mind:
1) Unzip the .7z file in a folder in a folder at the root of your hard drive: I typically open my Windows boot drive, create a new folder, name it "nvflash" and dump the archive's contents into it. This avoids getting errors as a result of the Windows folder/file path being too long.
2) Timing is important when connecting the tablet to the computer: on Windows 7, I simply press the power on+volume up buttons for 2-3 seconds (up until the "new hardware found" bubble appears in the tray area), I then let go and make sure the screen remains off (*VERY IMPORTANT*).
3) To install the Windows driver for my TF101, I go to Device Manager, right-click on the APX icon (it should show a yellow exclamation point), update the driver by pointing Windows to the /usbpcdriver folder (e.g. c:\nvflash\usbpcdriver, for example), let Windows finish the install and ONLY then start the flashing process by running download.bat in Administrator mode.
***Mods - I think this belongs here (whether it's useful or not). If not, have your way with it. Thanks!***
I recently had to re-flash my firmware after poking a little too deeply into my /system folder. Once I got back up and running, I checked for software updates and there was one (I imagine to take me to UELA1?). Downloaded it, asked to reboot and it failed. I thought if I could find the update, I could apply it through ADB or CWM...that's not the case either. But, here's the steps I took to find it...and unfortunately, my method requires some paid software. There may be another, cheaper way to do it, but I like easy.
Go to "Settings" > "About Device" > "Software Update" > "Update". If you've never done this, it's going to ask you what country your in.
Click on "Download" on the next screen and take note of the size of the file.

It should download the package and then ask if you want to install it or wait til later. Choose "Later" and pick any amount of time that suits you.
Knowing that in order for it to install an update at the next reboot, I figured there would have to be an auto start entry somewhere. I started up JRummy's ROM Toolbox Pro and selected "Auto Start Manager". Sure enough, there were two "Software Update" entries...
Long press on one of them and choose "Manage"
If you got lucky, like me, the "Application Info" screen will pop up and you'll see under "Storage" that it's using around the same amount of space as the download needed. If not, long press on the other and select "Manage".
Now, fire up Speed Software's SQLite Editor and it should've parsed all of the SQLite databases on your phone and given you a list of them, like so...
Now this is trial & error...select the "Software Update" database and I happen to know we're looking for one with the "wssdmdatabase.db" in it...
Select the "wssdmdatabase.db" database and you should get a screen resembling this...
Now select "Fumo" and long press the only entry under "Fumo" and select "Edit Record". You'll be presented with the following screen...
You're concerned with the entry with the arrow next to it. Enter it exactly as you see it in your browser and it will download the file to your PC. Voila!
Now, you're asking what do we do with the .bin file...good question. I was hoping someone on here might have an answer to that. Mainly because I can't stand Samsung's bloatware called "Kies". I'd love to be able to find a way to update our tabs even after root and all that good stuff.
Excellent Find! Congrats. Love It.
Will this file ever dissappear if not installed? for example, I know Kies updates will be auto deleted within about 2 minutes after updating.
bravo.
sbin/redbend_ua is used for flashing FOTA. And Kies updates are encrypted, if that helps any.

As this file now resides on your PC (or on your tab, as this process works from it also), it should remain there until you delete it.
I use kies windows temp folder capturing .md5 method
Why don't you just download the update from Samsung update server and flash it with Odin?

What is it you're trying to do? AFAIK you're on official bootloader. This won't do anything more than flash an official ROM. If you have this ROM on your sdcard, it'll locate it automatically and starts flashing it. If you want to flash other custom roms, you need to install custom recoveries like CWM ot TWRP. Make sure you follow the instructions and pay particular attention to what official ROM you're on (Hint: search forum for pertinent threads). From where I'm sitting, the first thumb is not that clear, but I'd guess you're on 4.2 since it doesn't have the fastboot USB icon. Mistakes can brick your tab.
i was trying to install cyanogenmod 10 on my system, but i folllowed instructions about getting into a bootloader,and to wipe it off data and cache,i did that but that after that is says that i have to install from sd card. i cant find that selections, i got cyanogenmod on my sd card, but how do i install that cym on my tablet,and yes i'm on the version android 4.2.1.....

Check this thread out. You'd need to install a custom recovery first (I always rely on TWRP for this tab) using ADB. Then you can flash your favorite CM10 with it. Post your questions if you have difficulties following the instructions. Have fun.
in this tutorials does not shows how to install a cyanogenmod 10,,it only shows how to update, for update i have done that, and for rooting its all done, but i dont see nowhere about installing cym10...
Flash CM10

You gotta have custom recoveries to flash CM10. Since you're on 4.2.1, you want to follow instructions here to downgrade to 104220 official. Once there, install a custom recovery (TWRP 2.5.0.0), then flash CM10 in accordance with this thread. If you prefer CM 10.1, search in development section. There are at least 2 or 3 threads.
Hi there, I'v tried to update my FT101. So I've found the right website for the job, KatKiss ROM MarshMallow 6.0.1 Release. Got a lot of things going for me so I was really in the mood for it.
I came a long way.... until the moment came to update Android itself. Entered the SD card. No SD card found. Oke let`s try another one, no SD card found. Alright, also found a link on how to install the FT101 with a direct cable from a PC. Plugged in the cable from the FT101 to my win10 pc, no connection what so ever! Oke let`s try my win7 pc, no connection what so ever! Oke let`s try the laptop, no connection what so ever! So now I'm running out of ideas, last and final try. Different SD format's, NTFS, FAT, FAT32 and exFAT (tried it with two different card's).
Made some photo's of my progress, is there anyone that can help me further? Please? :fingers-crossed:

So assuming by your pics, you still are able to get into bootloader/APX AND Recovery (TWRP)... So you are not yet completely bricked, this is good.
Your TWRP version is 2.3xx and you wanted KatKiss 6.0 marshmellow.
You needed the latest TWRP 2.8xx, that was in another thread.
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2434422
If you find a way to get the sdcard reading (only formatting linux ext3/4 or FAT32 will work) or the pc to connect to TWRP/APX, install the newest TWRP and reboot the recovery (important), and try again to install KatKiss 6.0mm AFTER the reboot.
Your original USB cable for the asus is in good shape? Not frayed or busted? This is important if you want to recover back to stock:
(I cant post links yet) Download the Original factory firmware and the ASUS drivers from here
Code:
http://www.asus.com/us/support/Download/28/1/0/1/32/
Those should be able to get you back to factory.
Are you using a one-click method to root and do that stuff? Most of them are outdated nowadays, packing in old cwm or old twrps.
If need arises, you should check in Windows Device Manager and see what the TF101 is showing up as when you connect.
To get the right driver for it working:
connect the USB
boot the TF101 into APX/bootloader and leave it there
delete the device in the DeviceManager (and checkbox the Delete drivers as well)
now boot the recovery of the TF101
On DeviceManger delete the new device (and driver checkbox as well) again
disconnect the USB
install the ASUS driverpackage letting it finish installing
then afterwards reconnect the USB
reboot into APX, and driver should install in device manager, when it appears, then reboot into recovery and wait for it to install a driver.
You should see if any of the tools you had used has in its directory adb.exe and the related dll files, open a command prompt in that folder with the files (hold shift when rightclicking the whitespace inthe folder> Open a Command Prompt from here). Then with TWRP open and USB connected, go to Advanced -> Sideload ABD, see if its connecting something in Windows Device Manager. If it is working, then that means you can use in the command prompt
Code:
abd sideload xxxxxxxx.zip
-----------> xxxxxxxx being the filename you want to flash
repeat the command after each one finished with the rest of the zips you want to flash
Hi ich0,
