Hi, I have an Asus transformer TF101, I used to have it rooted with CWM on android 3.2. So now that ICS was released for this tablet i wanted it. I knew i couldn't update with CWM.. So i read a tutorial on how to install a OS update from CWM then after, install something which would get rid of CWM. This would fine and i had the first 4.0.3 installed on my transformer successfully with no CWM (I tried getting into it to test but it wouldn't). Now it's been a bit of time, I've seen that asus have released a few new updates for my tablet. Now when i seach for updates on my tablet it says none are available.. So i thought I'd try and download from the website and put onto my SD card and hope that my tablet comes up with the little explanation mark to update.. But nothing. I tryed the recovery boot with the new OS on the SD card but just had the little green robot lay down looking broken. I'm not sure what to do now.. Should i re root it and then get CWM to update or is there something up with my tablet?
Thanks for reading.
Bump?

I have just received my second transformer a B70 with a dock straight out of best buy and it has 3.1 installed
My older B60 also came pre installed with 3.1 but as soon as I turned that on it told me there was a fw upgrade available and i've received 2 more since and am now running 3.2
is there some trick to this ? both are US versions btw
Can nobody answer this guys ?
I ran into a similar situation. Go to Asus` website and download the firmware update manually. Extract it, place it on the top level of your micro sd card. Reboot. The update should trigger when booting up.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
Great, thanks for the advice, the update didn't trigger at boot but when I got into the OS it notified me that I had an update file ready to install and from there I could enter the FW update
That's how it happened to me, it was RIGHT after it booted up. Symantecs, while booting, right after booting... either way.
I software OTA update from system and now can't reboot system now. Any one please help me?
Now my eee pad screen is recovery mode showing. Can't reboot system....HELP.....
I am having the same problem. I have tried multiple work arounds' with no luck. Any help would be appreciated.
Ok, just select reboot and press both volume up and down, and keep them in...
A new screen will appear from where the Transformer will boot into Android.
I'm having this exact same issue, quit annoying this is
I've already tried a dozen times to change the clockwork recovery to a newer version but the old crappy one sems to be not willing to make room for the newer touch version.
ps In Rom manager I see the correct version of the cloackwork recovery as being installed but once going into the real recovery it is the old one
Alternative way to result
I installed custom ROM (Android revolution HD) from SD card.
Now it's Ok....This ROM is rooted and fastest..

ROM manager doesn't work well for the tf, just don't use it in general Dx
minnaing - Good choice of ROM Glad it could be resolved, that was the first thing I was going to suggest to do.
First time poster, have been searching the forums the entire weekend so I'm finally going to break down and post a question.
History:
Purchased TF300T, came with Android 4.0.3
Installed OTA to get to 4.1.1, then it updated again to 4.2.1
MobileDock keyboard does not work, after calling ASUS they want me to send in for service.
So, I've decided to dive into the custom ROMs 1. because I want to learn how to, and 2. to see if I can get the mobiledock to work.
Unlocked via ASUS website
Installed CWM but it would never read my SD card
Installed TWRP 2.4.4.0
Backed up (thank goodness, I keep going back to it)
Installed CM10.1 ROM, it installs great but gets stuck on the ASUS image screen at boot
Installed AOKP_R5 ROM, it installs great but gets stuck on the ASUS image screen at boot
I've tried lower versions of TWRP with no luck.
I've tried wiping cache, dalvk, factory, system before, cache/dalvk after installing ROMs
What am I doing wrong? I feel like I'm so close!! Thanks in advance.

The CM 10.1 and AOKP R05 are not compatible with your bootloader (4.2.1).
Sudru said he was going to release an AOKP version for the new bootloader, but you will have to wait for that.
Try flashing CleanRom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2204166
Or flash

Thanks so much I was able to load both ROMs. I really appreciate it. My mobile dock does not work with either of them but I think I'll search around for that before posting another question.
Hey folks. I am trying to get the hang of messing around with my android device. I am quite good with Windows/Linux, so this is the next frontier. So here is my problem: I am trying to update my TF101 to 5.1 and the installation failed. I installed Clockwork Recovery v3.2.0.1 and it worked well, I can get into recovery no prob. I installed the kitkass 5.1 on the SD card, the Update-Super-v2.46, and Katkiss_5.1_030c.
When I trying to install from zip the Katkiss I get this error:
set_metadata_recursive: Some changes failed.
E:error in sdcard/Kitkass/Katkiss-5.1_030c.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

I am a bit stumped. Did I download a bad copy? I can't get into the TF101 at this point except for recovery. When I try, it just stays on the ASUS splash page.
I am sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find any threads with this issue. Any help is appreciated.

I have this devices some were in a drawer lol anyways sounds like u mave have downloaded a bad copy try redownloading and get a md5 checker and check it. Also did you make a back up in twrp? If so could restore that in time being. Have a read trew kitkass thread agin and see if you missed any thing i know i had that rom running at one point but went back to kitkat cuz it was more stable.
Thanks for the help. I think I had a bad copy and a redownload fixed the issue. Android 5.1 is on the device and it sort of works. Well, not really. It runs poorly, reboots a lot and now it actually reboots before I can log in. I think I should hit a lower version of Android. Any suggestions on which version works best on the TF101? As of now its not usable.
Also, if I go to say, 4.4, can I use the same gapps-Katkiss-5.1 or do I need a correct version for 4.4? Can I just install it over 5.1 or do I need to wipe the device and start from scratch?
Again, thanks for the help.:good:
I tried to install 4.0.3, the official TF101 image from Asus but it wouldn't install. How do I go back to stock?
Hi guys,
I bought a cheap tablet, It worked fine until i got an update to lollipop, it slowed the device down horribly and it can't multitask at all anymore. Even opening a new tab in google chrome is terrible laggy and slow.
I managed to get the tablet rooted with kingroot, the programs that came with it to clean and speed up the device work great, but the tablet still not works optimal.
When i tried to install the old rom from the asus website in recovery it sayd it cant find the root destination folder or something like that. And rom manager says there is a more recent version of cwm but when i want to install it it says my tablet is not supported. So how can i go back to the kitkat version of the rom? Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help!

anyone?
