Help please!
I have just updated my Slider to official ICS OTA system just asked if i want to update and i very foolishly said yes and now my Slider SL101 says its a Transformer TF101 with out a keyboard dock, wifi and no root
Does anybody else have this problem? Anybody else made the mistake i have?
And can anybody please help me to get my Slider back to Honeycomb or a correctly working ICS?
You can downgrade to HC if you have CWM recovery, otherwise you're at the mercy of the asus otas. I recommend rooting and putting a custom rom and kernel on there.
Thanks for your response, do u know if it is possable to force flash a US SKU file on a WW Slider?
If you have root or a recovery, I believe so. It won't pass standard stock checks though

I searched the forum but couldn't find an answer. I have tried several times to update my TF to 3.2.1 but the update keeps failing.
I get a system update notification. The tablet shuts down. The little green android with the gears on his stomach appears with a progress bar under it. The progress bar gets about 1/3 of the way then an exclamation mark appears in a yellow triangle. The a few minutes later the tablet restarts and it says that the update failed.
I am currently on build number HTJ85B.WW_epad-8.6.5.9-20110816. My TF is unrooted.
Is this happening to anyone else? Anyone have any suggestions besides doing a factory reset then trying the update again? Thanks in advance for any help.
Was it rooted before?
Rooting itself doesn't break updates it's what you do whilst rooted that can, so unrooting isn't necessary. I'm having this issue again as I removed some Asus apps with Titanium Backup which I now can't get back (I did them when there was a bug in TB which didn't backup apps properly). The OTA update script checks the integrity of a bunch of apps and files, which if it fails will abort the update in the way you are seeing. Very annoying.

Yeah it was rooted. I just realized that immediately after I rooted it, I had made a CWM backup. I'm going to try to restore the backup and see if the update goes through. (fingers crossed)
Sounds like you're running a custom ROM

Nope, stock 3.2. The only thing that I flashed was a custom kernel.
The update still didn't work with my backup. Luckily the WW 3.2.1 update was posted in the development section, so I just re-rooted and flashed the update. Worked like a charm.
yeah, I think that your kernel will cause the update to fail since it updates some of the kernel modules.

Where did you find the ww 3.2.1? Because have the same problem and haven't found the rom. Wrong serach terms, for sure.
Got the problem, too!
Now I use Revolver!
I flashed revolver, too. Works like a charm.

I got it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281161
It's only a 3.2 to 3.2.1 update though, it's not a full ROM, so you have to already have 3.2 on your TF. Hope this helps!
i have the same problem too.
my TF101 was totally non rooted .
is there a download for this 3.2.1 update? so i can prehaps update my TF mannually ....
I didn't find one, because of that i flashed revolver.

I too have a problem with the update on my rotted tf.I got an unofficial update apk here but I still get an error message when trying to flash in CWM.I heard that this could be due to a modified system file,but I don`t remember having done such a thing thought...
Good luck.
This is the Stock 8.6.5.19 US or WW update repackaged for Clockwork mod.
This update DOES NOT:
* Root your device if it's not already rooted
* Install clockworkmod
* Install at all if you aren't rooted
* Install at all if you don't already have clockworkmod.
This update has:
* Clockworkmod support (It does not include CWM, but doesn't reflash the recovery partition either)
* Rooted (includes SuperUser.apk & su 3.0.0)
* Busybox (1.19.2)
This will not work unless you have:
1. clockworkmod
2. STOCK firmware (root is fine)
3. the US or WW firmware
4. firmware 8.6.5.18
If this update will not apply, take note of which assert stopped the process. You probably applied some sort of mod to your transformer.

Tested on my own tf101.
CWM package for ASUS FOTA Update 8.6.5.19 WW
http://bellybuttonporn.com/android/transformer/kwt-cwm-8.6.5.19-WW.zip
I have not tested this. Let me know if it works, brave soul!
Note that these updates require you to be on 8.6.5.18. If you didn't update to .18 because of the bugs, do that before trying this update.
Applied US version and it was just too darned easy. Usually I have to modify something but this worked first time.
Much thanks, -- Hashi
I'm running revolver, but want to go back to stock rooted and install this. How can I do this? Thanks,
worked
Somehow i lost root after installing this. Cmw is still installed and so is superuser but titanium backup wont work because it says it cannot get root.
Edit: i reinstalled cmw from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18789237&postcount=907 and now it works.
Worked great on my TF with WW.
Many thanks.

This will not work unless you have:
1. clockworkmod
----------Install ClockwordMod Recovery. If already installed skip to step 2
2. STOCK firmware (root is fine)
----------Install stock firmware with or without root. If already installed skip to step 3
3. the US or WW firmware
----------It must be the US or WW firmware. If not install correct firmware listed in step 4
4. firmware 8.6.5.18
---------This is the firmware version it must be. If not then install the correct firmware version.
I beg your forgiveness if this doesn't answer your question. I was just trying to be helpful.
This broke my WiFi. It goes to "Error" after trying to start. Flipping airplane mode on or off doesn't help.
EDIT: Fixed. I hadn't re-installed my OC kernel, so stuff was breaking.
Any ideas?

Worked without any problem on a rooted stock ROM WW model.
Worked for me on WW too, many thanks.
I can confirm that the WW update worked fine for me without any problems, thanks
everything works great except my bluetooth radio won't turn on and when I am docked I get no sound. I haven't tried a full wipe which would be the next step. I had to run a great deal of updates to get to this version so maybe that has something to do with it as well.

I second the wipe. I was initially running Prime and decided to go back to stock due to the numerous FC's I started to get starting apps after a few upgrades. My TF runs nice and smooth after flashing this, no problems with wifi or bluetooth and sound works as it should in my dock. I haven't really noticed any problems at all. And haven't really noticed much of a difference in speed or battery life between this and Prime.
don't suppose 8.6.6.19 WW is out as a flashable CWM zip ?
Please help me to unroot my asus slider , i want to my tab is back to basic ( official)
What i did was most likely risky but worked nonetheless had kinda a similar problem.
Make sure you have cwm recovery installed and download the "old" update from the asus website. Put the zip on the sd card and install this with cwm recovery.
After its done your back on an older firmware completely stock from what i know this is risky so try on your own risk. It worked for me but when it was booted into honeycomb the launcher keeps crashing what i did was to solve this was keep tabbing away at the bottom right so that menu slides out and quickly tab wifi, if done right you enter settings and launcher stops bugging you about its crashes, then goto OTA update and apply the latest update after this is done slider will work fully no weird launcher crashes and from what i know your back to full stock as it came out the factory.
I rooted mine with this link

It was easy!
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?
hello tf300t users. how did you guys properly update your rooted tf300t? did you guys even update?
the reason i ask is because i rooted my friend's tf300t but was forced to install the latest firmware and during instalation this showed up and the tf300t restarted to a message that said that the update failed but when i checked the build version it went from to .17 to .26.
i don't want the same thing happen to me. i just ordered a tf300t for myslef which should arrive in a couple of days. i'm planning on using sparky root to root and i'm gonna replace the build.prop file with seanzscreams' tweaked version.
will running voodoo ota root keeper to save root status then un rooting the tf300t to install the latest firmware to using voodoo to get back root status work?
or is it best not to update and just stay on build .17. in which case how would i make the transformer quit asking me to update?
thanks in advance!
