Hi All,
Newbe with a Asus TF101 and I have to say it's been an adventure !
Originally I found a posting how to root my tablet and it worked great until an update notice appeared and locked up my system. After much panic stricken hunting around I found this site and was able to update the tablet to ICS 4.0.3 which is even better then before and runs great.
Now another update notice is appearing again......
[Q] How can I check that this update is ok to use or since I've installed a custom ROM I won't be able to use any of these updates from Asus ?
thanks,
Don't update if you have CWM or custom roms installed( root is fine in most cases). If you do want to update, return your tf to stock first.
Thanks for the reply.....
I was thinking that given my last update experience. Is there a way to turn off the update notices so I don't accidentally update ?
Stop DM Client running in the settings menu. That'll stop your notifications, at least until you reboot and then you'll have to stop it again. You might be able to freeze it using Titanium but I haven't tried it so I can't confirm it won't cause any problems.

I am rooted using the Universal Xoom Root method. I am still running stock, only with SU and apps which require SU. Why can I not accept an OTA update? It seems like the worse that could happen is it overwrite the SU.apk and I need to re-root.
Thanks in advance.
I was wondering about this as well. I am rooted and am running Rogue kernel. I guess I'll just update and see what happens. Worse comes to worse, I will have to re-root.
Seems like the Xoom forums are quiet...did a lot of people abandon the device for the Galaxy Tab 10.1...When previous OTAs happened, the forums were chock full of chatter about to or not to accept the update.
Yeah, I just tried an OTA update and it wouldn't work. Got the Droid with exclamation point. Up + power put me back where I was.

same here. No dice on the update, just stuck at the install screen. On a positive note, the update notifications are gone. Damn those were annoying.
If you root, even without any additional custom ROM/kernel mods, you may receive notification of an OTA update but you should not accept it and try to install it. It will probably put you into a bootloop or worse.
If you wish to root, don't worry. Our wonderful developers are hard at work right now, configuring an update for the device...we'll more then likely get it before the official release comes out OTA.
Anyway, you can always revert back to stock if you really want the OTA update, but stock is boring.
place your unrooted backup on, take update and reroot.
if you don't have one, their are some around.
I keep a backup that isn't rooted with all my apps installed, then when update comes, it is real quick to restore, update and reroot ....

Yeah, diddo here with it not bothering me about OTA updates anymore after trying. It didn't put me in a boot loop, just the pretty droid screaming (exclamation point)
I have a backup from before I rooted, but what the heck, it didn't hurt anything, and I was just playing around.
Thanks for everyone's input.
Spoke too soon. The update is back to nagging me again. Errrrrrrr
Why can't they just push out ICS for the Xoom. Hell, they showed ICS on the Verizon Xoom at LeWeb this week.

Hi, I have a Nexus S i19020A that I bought off someone. It came with ICS and I have been using it for a good 2 months. Just a couple days ago, I received an update for Jelly Bean on my phone and figured it would be safe to update it, so I did. After the update, the phone restarted and rebooted but my settings would not run. Every time I try to go into settings, I get this message, "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.". I tried to factory reset the phone back to ICS using the recovery mode but all it did was erase all my apps as if it was taken out of a brand new box but the problem remained as well as the Jelly Bean. I would like to return the phone back to its stock. I am a total noob when it comes to android phone since this is my first android phone and it came with ICS already. Would someone be able to walk me through step by step on how to return my Nexus S back to stock or fix the settings app problem? I would appreciate it if someone were able to help me. I also have skype if it makes it easier to walk me through the process. Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
Go to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Find your NexusS version (ICS 4.0.4) and flash it. Then feel free to update or not to jelly bean. (The system will download the upgrade automatically)
All instructions are in the same page

Thanks for replying back to my post. Unfortunately, I can't seem see Android on my device manager on my computer maybe because I can't get access to my settings to turn on my usb debugging mode. I also can't get turn on wifi as well on my phone to download an app that will help me enable it. I can't use fastboot on my computer to flash my phone if it cant detect the device. Do you have any ideas to get around this? Thanks
Do you have exclamation marks in Device Manager when you connect your phone?
Hi ekerazha!
Thanks for replying to my post. I actually somehow managed to get my phone installed properly onto my computer and my device manager shows android now. With that said, I was able to use fastboot to unlock my phone and fix my problem and reverting back to ICS ROM instead of the Jelly Bean ROM. Im still debating if i want to update my phone to JB ROM but im afraid it might screw it up again. But thanks again for replying. I really appreciate it.
Yes you can update. Your problem was special (may be something u ve installed). There is no raison now u have flashed your data to get Setting error again.

Hi All,
I've got a blue TF300 + dock that I was very happy with (almost) when I was on ICS, with plain stock ROM and root, and browser2ram and ezoverclock.
I stupidly did the OTA update to JB, not realising that ezoverlcock and browser2ram would not work anymore.
I preserved root using OTA rootkeeper, did a wipe from recovery menu, then booted back up, installed my apps using TB and restored root.
I have been trying to persevere with the tablet for a couple of weeks now since the update, but I just cant put up with the laggyness anymore. I am sick of not being able to smoothly browse a website that has rich content, like youtube, without the browser freezing up (yes, I have tried pretty much every browser there is).
What I am wondering (since I dont really want to have to loose the warranty - the device should be usable as it is out of the box) is that if I download and flash the WW update from the Asus site, will it wipe all my system permissions too, and would it possibly make my tablet any less buggy? (Feels like maybe I got a dodgy OTA update, some people are saying it works great on theirs).
I understand that if I flash this update I will loose root.
So my last question is, that if I do that will it loose root, and if so is there any way of getting root on JB yet without unlocking the bootloader?
Cheers in advance guys.
PS. I will unlock and custom ROM if it really is necessary, I am comforable enough doing it, I have unlocked pretty much every smartphone I had, but the tablet does not come with a carrier warranty unfortunately
Can't really answer your main question, but browser2ram still works on JB. Ezoverclock doesn't work because of the new kernel, b2r doesn't tweak the kernel.

I'm using the same I used on ICS.

Hello,
This morning i received some ota.
I am running 4.0.4 official ICS rom from HTC rooted with SuperSU. I got message about update this morning. No description. Just personalisation 1,13 MB big...
I performed update, but dont see any difference.
Have also received this ?
Some mine ideas are:
1, I uninstalled facebook by Titanium backup yesterday completely. Maybe it tried to reinstall it back ? But FB didnt appear.
2, I tried some super cr.cked applicatio... Maybe some virus ?
I dont know what to do now. Whether i have some virus in phone and should reflash it, or is it normal, or what ?
What do you think ?
Thanks

htc still remembers our old mighty desire s?

Got this update aswell
I come back to my desire s after losing my other phone..installed ics via the ruu this morning (yes i know the problem but thought what the hell) and this update popup as soon as setting the phone up
Everything here is stock so no root s-on and all the other stuff,
So maybe HTC are still working on the update after all but what do i know but i will say ive had no problems with the ICS at the moment but its early days yet
I tried uninstalling updates from personalize app, but that cause loss of htc widgets. So i had to restore factory settings.
Some dev could take a look whats inside

I've received that update too and what I hate is this update it will be installed automatically after downloading without requesting permission
I wanted to examine the file after downloading but sadly I couldn't locate it

It's not a firmware update or anything, just an app update which is the "Personalization" menu. It's just like an update for JetPrint on HTC Flyer that has come up after installing an update to honeycomb
yeah
I Just cant understand HTC at all ... personalisation updates and this is all ... The device can handle Jelly Bean ... Well just personal opinion , my next phone will not be HTC , becouse they easy forget about us ... Peace !
Updated to JB back in January and since then I was very disappointed with decreased performance and lag.. even factory reset did not help...
So I have made decision to flash back to ICS 4.0.4.. Everything went fine and my Note is like new The only problem is that it auto downloaded JB update again and it's nagging me every couple of hours to upgrade (which I obviously don't want to do).
ICS doesn't seem to have option in settings to disable updates.. Or at least I am not able to find it...
Could somebody hint me how can I delete downloaded JB firmware update and stop Note from downloading it again?
Thanks

ps: I was trying to find similar topic here on the forum but failed to find solution.

I don't know if this will work but if you just root your tab, samsung update will see it's modified and you never get updates again.
If you later wanna do updates just use odin.
Hope that helps...
