Um...you got your terms wrong. OTA is Over The Air. This update is 100% via the mobile network channel. The LG Update is PC based, requiring you to be hooked, via USB, to a PC/La[top.
If you do the LG Software update and are rooted, you will remain rooted. The update does not remove data. Be advised that you may have to revert to Stock Recovery to get the update though.
I got the update with a Rooted Stock ROM and standard recovery.
Remember, LG Update and OTA are NOT the same thing. They may be using the same file for update, but the update process is different.
So far, if you get the LG UPdate, you will not get the OTA
Also remember, to take standard precautions, like backup, and, follow the instructions to the letter. Some people have experienced problems with the Lg Update. We 'suspect' they may not have followed the complete instructions.
1. Stock Rom, Rooted ok
2. Stock Recovery
3. Updated USB drivers from LG
4. Do NOT disconnect phone from cable at 4%. There is a pause here that could take several minutes.
Most reported problems have come when the above were not in play.
Good luck.

thank you very much for clearing my doubts , i was talking about LGUpdate utility only.
I've looked high and low, but I can't find info on updating to 3.2 from root. I'm mostly terrified of losing everything I have setup on here when I update. Mostly just apps, movies, pics, and my layout. Can anyone put my fears to rest about updating? And can anyone provide a link on where I can get my hands on the update to install manually since it won't do an automatic update?
Thanks
lav0C,
If you are running the stock ROM and have CWM recovery installed,
you can use CWM to update to the latest 3.2-9 (8.6.5.9):
1. Update from 3.1 (8.4.4.11) to 3.2 (8.6.5.6) using the ZIP from this post:

2. Update from 3.2 (8.6.5.6) to 3.2-9 (8.6.5.9) using the ZIP from this post:

It worked for me!

I have an overclock rom on my tablet. I don't think I can do it this way. I tried to flash the rom but it just spits out an error. It's able to mount it and everything, the moment it trys to impliment the changes it says that it was aborted. Any ideas?
Also, I have the Netflix patch. Not sure if that will cause problems too

You're right - the CWM updates I listed are for stock ROMs only.
You may have to 1)un-root and go back to Asus standard HC3.1,
2) update to 3.2-9 with the Asus OTA updates, and 3) re-root.
I think your data would be safe during that process, but I'm not sure.
how do I safely un-root?
I used your method to attempt to put 3.2 on after updating 8445 to84411 but i got stuck in a boot loop and had to flash Prime 1.5 to get it back on.
any suggestions?
Several people in the CWM Flashable ICS ROM thread (including myself) are finding that USB Mounting/ADB does not work in ICS. Is anyone else having this issue? Specifically people who received the update OTA and non-rooted? It seems the Transformer recognizes that I have plugged in a USB cable, but the debugging icon never shows up, ADB reports no devices, and my computer acts as though nothing has been connected to it. I'm curious if this is a widespread ICS issue on the TF101, or just the specific ROM...

Updated from OTA here and USB flash mounts and works normaly. Can't test ADB right now.
I flashed both the FULL CWM US and WW versions today and found that USB is not working at all.
It'll freeze up for a second and then it'll go back to normal. --> no USB connection
I'll go back to stock 3.2.1 and update over OTA. I'll report back once I'm done!

Edit: Going back to stock and letting it do the update OTA works. USB is fully working now.

Are you rooted now also or just stock?
Wondering if it's the root that's breaking the USB connection.
Same problem here
I posted this in another thread earlier but it's a better fit here. I've tried the US and WW full flash versions on a WW TF today and haven't been able to mount via USB with either. Checking debugging doesn't help. Never had a problem previously.

I'm not having any issues with ADB or USB mounting on my TF.
daxtsu, are you unrooted or rooted? And how did you upgrade to ICS? Also, if you could please check under settings > Battery. On the right side, do you see "Battery Usage data not available"?
Nope, it's not the root breaking USB.
I rooted my B60 tablet after upgrading to ICS, it's working fine now!
This is what I did: I'm on ICS and USB is working fine.
Tutorial:
Step 1: Download the latest corresponding firmware for your tablet from the official Asus Website:
For example: UpdateLauncher_WW_epaduser8_6_5_21
http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download
Unzip the file you have downloaded. Put the zip-file onto your external SD Card.
Step 2: Shutdown your tablet. Press VOLUME DOWN + POWER at the same time until your screen turns on. Then quickly press VOLUME UP.
You are in recovery mode now.
Do a factory reset.
Install the ZIP you downloaded from the ASUS website.
Step 3: Restart your tablet. Welcome back to Honeycomb! Set up your Wifi and let it download ICS over-the-air.
Step 4: Apply the ICS OTA update
Step 5: Your tablet will reboot a couple of times. Then: Welcome to ICS!
Choose your preferred rooting method!
Step 6: Root your tablet. I used "One Click Universal Root for Stock Firmware"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198303
Note that this only applies to tablets which are older than B70/80.
You may be successful using another rooting method.
Install CWM
Step 7: Do a factory reset through CWM!
Step 8: Enjoy! Please click "Thanks" if you found my post helpful. Post if you have any problems.

Yeah, I do get Battery usage data not available. But other than that, no USB issues.
What was your upgrade method? Did you download the OTA, or use one of the ROMS here on XDA?

At the moment I'm running a ROM I made myself. But before that I reverted completely to stock honeycomb .21(including recovery, then rooted) and then installed the OTA dlpkg. I didn't have any USB issues on HC, stock ICS, or my custom ICS.
It seems the USB issues are only for people who installed the CWM ICS version as opposed to taking the OTA. Now I just need to see if there will be a fix, or if it would be faster to go back to stock and then accept the OTA...

I was having the same issue and flashed the us ICS update from the link below and it started working. I flashed right on top of the current ICS i had installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334673
Throwing my voice in here. Used the CWM ICS ROM, no USB connection.
I'll try flashing the other US ICS on top of my ROM... see what happens... crossing my fingers... If this works, itohead will be getting my Thanks
I upgraded to ICS by first going back to stock HC via nandroid backup, then installing stock recovery, and pullin OTA update. No problems with the USB connection. ADB works fine. One thing however - my Vista-64 installed new drivers when I connected the tablet to it. So maybe the problem is on the Windows side? Check your drivers first.
Flashing that image over mine worked great!

Hey guys,
Been a while since i last visited!
On 2 consecutive roms i experienced reboots when i made a call, so i wanted to go back to stock ICS, but then i noticed that my USB was broken also, i managed to go back to 2.3.3. after failing going back to stock ICS, it somehow did not work with rommanager!
a few questions!
Can i somehow repair USB, cuz message says device is not recognized?( and cant root the phone, lost that because of going back)
Should i be getting an OTA update to ICS soon?
What are my options when non of the above work?
if you can help, thnx in advance!
Fmbl,
1) make sure you have the driver installed
2) make sure you have usb debugging set on on your phone
3) to manually update to 4.0.4 check this: http://andwise.net/?p=275
So i eventually received my lollipop OTA this morning (UK, EE).............
But what exactly do i do with it
I'm rooted (Locked BL). I obviously can't install the OTA the normal way, can i ?
I was waiting for some custom ROMS to be made available but don't seem to see any. Will these follow soon since the Lollipop update has went global?
I'm kinda torn tbh.... i have my phone set up perfectly on KitKat and it looks amazing and some of my favourite xposed tweaks aren't available on Lollipop e.g. Blurred System UI.
Anyway...If i should decide to install Lollipop (i probably will) what would be the best method?
(Are we talking going back to stock, installing OTA, then re-rooting, or is there a more simple method?)
I believe u only lose root. Install and re-root is my fiddy cent...
Download your respective firmware and make a pre-rooted rom based on it.
And flash it via recovery.
Stick with KitKat.
Sorry to hijack the thread but if I root without unlocking bootloader, will I get to update normally via ota or companion app? I don't mind losing root access if only to reboot later. And does it affect drm keys etc?
I'm rooted with kitkat and received the prompt for lollipop OTA. The point is it downloads but won't install, so to upgrade you'd need to use flashtool, PC companion or boot into recovery and flash an appropriate zip. None of those should have any effect on your DRM, but you'll lose root unless you're flashing a pre-rooted version of lollipop. If you do opt for a rooted version of lollipop it's still a bit unclear whether recovery is fully available to you, and xposed installer has a rack of issues either way...... you might want to hold for now?
Thanks for that I'll wait it out for now. The only real reason I was really updating was for the move to sd feature. Do anyone know of any alternatives?
The point is, I just wanted root until the ota. So it will update normally via sony PC companion?
OTA Can't Verify on Rooted Device
I noticed the update this morning. Phone rebooted like it was going to work but didn't. Now it allows me to download it over and over and each time it says "could not verify". Is there any good reason to want this update? I'm rooted on the 77fw and my phone works fine as is. I do not want to update and find out I lost root. Unless there is a very good reason to, I'll just wait and see if a rooted zip becomes available.
Stickin with kitkat. I will not run without root.
