I've had it about 4 hours now, and i am still runing the firmware that came with it - HRI66.WW_epad-8.2.2.6.1-20110325. Shouldn't there be at least one stable non-bricking update available to me?
I've gone to settings > about tablet > system update, and there are no updates available.
If you read the threads, you'll see that the update was pulled because it bricked several tablets. ASUS has posted the manual update files (requires copying the data to a microSD card)
http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download
Best thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041502
They pulled the update since it was bricking some devices.

Because the updates have been pulled due to bricking of some TFs.
I read that the second update was bricking devices, but I thought the first update was still good. I guess I was misinformed. Thanks the help.

It is the second update that does it, so either they pulled the first update at the same time or update 1 is integrated into update 2 as well.
Another option is that it just hasn't come yet, it took mine over 12 hours before it started downloading the firmware.
They haven't made the FOTA update available again, yet, but go to this main thread and there's a link to were to download the latest update from Asus:

You'll need a microSD card to apply it.
Just updated via the firmware on ASUS' site and a microSD card, thanks!
Eee Pad is bricked. Here's the story. I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125714 (pure root) to root the device about less than a month ago.
Just today i saw an update for the OS and i updated, but when i turned it back on it was bricked. WHAT DO I DO? PLEASE HELP
try this
turn off your TF
plug it to your computer
turn on your TF while holding the "up" volume key
if your computer detects your TF, then good news, there's hope for you. your TF is not bricked, and you still have access to NVFLASH.
you can use it to restore your TF into a functional state in many ways.
one of those ways is enumerated here: WARNING, this will erase all your data.

remember that the image files gets extracted to the same folder as the .bat or .sh files, (some people misplace them and think it didn't work)

I agree with finalhit about how to fix it, but am curious what you actually did where you say " Just today i saw an update for the OS and i updated ". ?
Did you apply an OTA update, apply some other thing , and if so, which other thing? You might just be a quick partition 5 nvflash from success (restoring CWM to a reasonable version for your system). Which flavor of TF? US, WW, TW? more info.
THANKS IT WORKED!
Well actually it was my father who updated. I rooted his TF for him (to get netflix working) back on 3.1, and today he just decided to update OTA to 3.2 (the US version.). Glad its working again or i would have been screwed
I was having trouble with a program getting denied root (even though I hit allow), so I tried clearing the data of superuser. Now I can't accept or deny anything. It doesn't hive me any option. Everything gets denied. How would i go about restoring superuser to a working state?
Sent from my Transformer Infinity!
unlocked or just rooted?
I would try uninstalling su and rooting again or if unlocked flash su with recovery.
Yes do a re-root.
I was just having the same problem, it turns out I had somehow magically lost root. (I had previously restored root after updating to .30)
So I just used Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and restored root, and it worked fine
ReRoot worked. Thanks guys.
Almost same problem
Hai.
I read this forum already long time cuz its really helpful & normally i never have problems but now i do so i need to post.
And i got almost the same problem as u did so ill describe what i mean.
I rooted my TF700 and everything worked for a small time but now when i updated to Jelly Bean i lost all my permissions.
My superuser denies everything even itself... I tryed to remove superuser and root the device again but then i get
can't post links yet
h t t p://i46.tinypic.com/263c221.png
Then it tests superuser and that fails ofcourse so... what can i do now i even tried a factory reset i knew it wouldnt work but worth a try
Hope ya guys can help me thnx :good:

You need to Re root your device. If you unlocked and on JB, follow this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916762
if you still locked and already on JB, you need to downgrade back to .30 reroot then ust OTA root keeper to backup root then upgrade to JB. After you on JB, you restore root back with OTA root keeper.
Almost there ^^

1. First download .30 full package from Asus site. Make sure download the correct one for your country, US, TW, WWW etc..
2. Unzip and rename the new zip file to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip, copy this file to root of your micro SD card.
3. Turn off device, boot into recovery mode by hold down volume down and Power button until see white text on screen, now let both go.Your device will flash the .30 zip file.
4. Re root your device.

Well a few suggestions when asking about firmware.
Always point out your location.
Try to quote who you are responding to with the reply button under the post that attempted to answer.
This will quote that person in your response.
Be a bit more detailed when you ask questions to help the people trying to answer to point you in the best direction.
Generic questions generate less detailed answers.
The stickied guides at the top of "General Questions" And "Development" answer most questions including the ones you have asked.
*Sometimes if one disclaims poor english prior to asking then we can work a bit harder to help.

Oke lets give it another try.
This is what i got.
Asus transformer infinity
Build Number : JR003CWW_Epad-10.4.4.20-20121026
Bought it in the netherlands.
Sd Card for the transformer to put the update on.
Now the problem.
I rooted my TF700 before and updated it so now i got it unrooted again on jelly bean.
Now i want to go back to stock because i wanna root it again & because i cant watch any movies online anymore because i guess i deleted some files.
What i tried.
I downloaded [Eee Pad Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T Firmware: V9.4.5.30 Only for WW SKU (Android 4.0.3) - 2012.09.21 update]
When i got it i put it on my SD card (on the root) and changed the name to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip and yes i made sure that it didnt say zip.zip then i did the recovery thing with power and volume down but all it does it startup in Coolboot.
So what i wnna know is what i need to do now?
Do i have the right version or is there something else wrong why it doesnt start recovering from the update.
Hope this is better i was kinda in a hurry so sorry for that.
Kind regards,
Infinity.

Have you unzipped the original firmware file to the root of your internal SD memory.
It is important to unzip the contents of the download to SD.
Renaming the original won't do anything.
So what I need to know is what I need to do now?
Do i have the right version or is there something else wrong why it doesn't start recovering from the update.
Click to expand...

What needs to be done is: Unzip the downloaded firmware to a location (desktop for example) on your PC.
You will see another zip that was extracted to the place of your choosing.
Rename the extracted zip to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip Don't just rename the Launcher zip
Extract or move the renamed file to your tablets SD card root.
You will see an update available most likely right away without a restart.
Accept and update the downgrade.
Hope this is better i was kinda in a hurry so sorry for that.

I've searched but every thread dealing with this concerns a tablet whose update failed or rooted or something. I just bought my gf a brand new Champaign tf700, it came with ics obviously, and it says no update found when I go into settings and search for update. Tried a factory reset and cold boot... no luck finding a JB update.
How do I get this thing to update? Any easy solutions?

http://support.asus.com/Download.as...&m=ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T&os=32
Steps of Update:
1. Check SW version of your Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700T*
2. Download Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700T Firmware: V10.4.4.16 Only for US SKU and Update version of SOP (From “Manual” Item)
※Firmware update cannot do *SKU conversion* and downgrade version.
Wrong SKU may cause update failure, You can only update your SW version on the Same SKU
*How to check SW version of your Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700T?
Path: [Settings]-->[About tablet]-->Build number
Example: You should be able to see the build number WW_epad-10.X.X.X_2012xxxx, where “WW” means SKU.
**Basically download the US update (Guessing since your profile says Detroit you have US version), and store the update onto your micro SD card. Then plug the micro SD into the tab and it should prompt to update. Good luck.**
Are you rooted? Do you plan to unlock? What version are you on? (.26, .30) If you are on .26, check out the thread on NVFlash in development. After you upgrade, you cannot use NVFlash. If you need to upgrade, and don't want to unlock, you should be able to go to asus direct and download the update. Check out this thread on NVFlash : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901479.
Try this one for update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803090, note, it does require root.
I just returned a prime today that I bought for a friend in exchange for a C8 infinity. Tablet didnt want to update to JB and was stuck on 4.0.3. So I used my laptop and went to the Asus support download site, download 4.1.1 US version, unzipped it and another zipped file came up, Plugged the infinity to the laptop via Asus cable, copied the second zipped file into the main directory I think it was /mnt/sdcard, Rebooted and the exclamation sign came up and installed the new 4.1.1. Then went back and deleted the file that I copied on to the main directory. Dont need an sdcard to manually update.
I just received my tf700 on Tuesday (from NewEgg) . I got two OTAs updates that afternoon - neither was JB. Finally JB came through last night. So you might have to wait a day or two. ...

1. When still on .26, install Nvflash. Look it up on the forum for the steps. It's not that hard.
2. You might be one of the people having an Infinity that apprarently is not showing up in ASUS' serial number database. This will preclude you from a) receiving an OTA (Over-The-Air) update like the one you're hunting for, and b) will prevent you from being able to unlock the device, so no custom recoveries (and therefore no backups) and no custom ROM'ing. For a lot of us, that was enough to seek (warranty) replacement.
3. If you decide to keep this 700, the procedures given for manually updating a firmware work. However, I'd sincerely recommend you reading through their main threads to really get a good feel for what to do and, more importantly, what NOT to do. There are quite few ways of updating a 700 by hand, depending on what works and your skill level.
Thanks for posting this question. I was having the same issue and now i found my answer WIN!
Hello everyone, this is my first question and I've been pulling my hair out trying to get my TF700 updated to JB. I've looked though all of the forums but I haven't found a very good answer for my problems. I'm unlocked but on stock recovery and .30 firmware. The issue I'm having is I can't update to JB either through OTA or with the dlpkgfile way. I've tried resetting my .30 firmware to make sure the build.prop is correct by using the SD card and power + vol down and I keep getting a signature verification failed error. Every time I try to do any updating I get an android with the red triangle exclamation point. Any help would be really appreciated, I can't get anything to work.
I hope you are aware of the fact that once unlocked, your device will not receive any OTA updates from ASUS any more. By using the unlock tool from ASUS, you have forfeited both your warranty and any future OTA updates. As such, the easiest way for you to upgrade to JB is to download and manually flash the latest firmware for your tf700 from ASUS website. Below is the all-in-one guide for the tf700, you can refer to the Clean Factory Restore section for more information:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833212
Btw, since your tablet is unlocked, you should just check out the Development section of this forum to flash a custom ROM to your liking. After all, the only reason to unlock is to use custom ROMs.

You need to check your system information to verify your build, WW or US and you may want to download the right firmware again from the Asus websie. Sometime the file is corrupted or have a wrong firmware. When you get the new firmware from Asus, you need to unzip it once because there is a zip file inside another zip file. Now you can copy the Second zip file to your internal root directory on your device and reboot it. After a reboot, you will see the new firmware message notification on the lower right corner. Now you can select the message from the notification and follow the instructions from there. Good luck..
