Does anyone know where the update is stored from OTA? It downloaded but failed again to update. This time on unrooted device. And can't find it anywhere. Else I'll have to wait for the downloads and I can't wait any longer

Check /tmp/staging, I think that's where the update script mounts it from if I recall correctly.

I take advantage of this related post to ask if someone could post the blob file for this update (at least for WW or US since only these two have been released) ?
Many people (the same guys that can't unlock) can't access OTA updates and would love to have it.
Sorry, I flashed it before I thought about it, then it just deletes the file I believe, but you can start a new thread and ask for it, perhaps there are still people who haven't flashed it yet.

It is probably not really interesting to anyone now, because everybody already have updated, but somehow the update is not pushed to my device. So, the question is: where can I get the original update file whatever the filename is? I googled it several time and found zero references.
Official Asus site has older 8.6.5.9 version:
http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=Eee+Pad+Transformer+TF101&p=20&s=16
Asus ftp has older version as well:
ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF101/
xda-developers dev forum has modified update with root and for CWM.
Where can I get UpdateLauncher_US_epaduserV8_6_5_13.zip ?
Thanks
The full-update blob has not yet been released, just like the kernel source. Hopefully it will be out in a few weeks.
For now you can get the same effect if you flash the 8.6.5.9 full then the 8.6.5.13 update!
And where can I get the update?

Connect on your wi-fi and it will download.
It might not be downloading because of your current version, but if you flash the one mentioned above, it should then do it automatically.

No it doesn't. I have HTJ85B.US-epad.8.6.5.9-20110816 and I checked for update and did other tricks people mentioned, still no update. I just need to know the URL, so I could download it myself. I had root before and the the tablet has had the TW firmware originally, so this may be the reason for updates doesn't really work for me.

The file finally appeared on the Asus FTP site.

I just purchased this tablet today and quickly rooted it. I've since tried to upgrade my firmware and its failed 3 straight times. It'll reboot and begin the update, then fail midway thru, leaving an android dude with an exclamation mark. Then it boots back up and gives a message that the update failed. If anyone can help me figure this out I'd greatly appreciate it.

Have you done the build prop tweak? Have You installed any of the themed apps? Have you removed any of the original files in /system?
For me, no, no, and no. All I've done is give it root.

What have you used your root access to do? Sorry for all the questions just trying to figure out what might have affected it.
even though you failed the update does the build version say .26?

I don't mind the questions heck I just appreciate the help. With root I've used AdFree and Root Explorer to change the stock email/exchange apk's for the hacked ones to bypass security. Nothing else.

So you did change system apks. That's your problem right there.
So the correct answer for a couple posts above is no, no, and yes.
Thanks, I restored my email/exchange backups but the upgrade continues to fail. I may end up having to return this but I appreciate the help.

Flash the .17 blob (and probably do a factory reset for good measure) and reroot. Don't touch anything else, and do the update. That should get you where you want to be. A lot of hassle, but I think it's the only way. You definitely don't need to return your tablet.

What did u do to figure it out.thanks
I also have the same problem it will be great if u can tell us how you fixed the problem
I looked for and found a similar thread but it became too garbled. I downloaded and attempted to install the jb update. The update failed and i can't get another try. When i do the manual update Im told no updates are available. The only thing i remember changing was the build.prop tweaks. Naturally i made a backup of the file first. I've restored the original version of build.prop however, i still cant get the OTA update.
Can someone help me out.

We may be screwed. Aparntly Asus blocks OTA updates after a failed attempt. I have been trying all day with no luck.
Going to call Asus tomorrow and see if they can help me out some.

I spoke with Asus support and the asked that I be patient and if it doesnt come again via ota, i will have to manually install it from their website. What I find intesting is that the support person said that it's NOT asus releasing JB, it's Google/Android. This was the second time I had heard that comment.

Sounds like VZW blaming HTC and HTC blaming VZW when update questions are posed to either
i believe you can manually update already as asus posted the file on its servers http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30516010

I understand that it voids the warranty etc (although it seems asus are better than some at fixing hardware issues on unlocked devices, and my warranty is with amazon anyway...)
What i dont get is the deal with updates. Does unlocking only stop ota updates? or will it prevent me from updating by downloading from the asus site, and doing a manual install?
Thanks for any info, i finally have a sound TF700 (3rd time lucky on RMA) and want to start trying out some of the ROMs!
Do not attempt to in install from Asus website. It will brick your tablet. Check the prime forums. There should be numerous post on this when they first released the unlock tool. Since you don't have nvflash I would advised against being adventurous.

Only OTAs are affected after unlocking, but you can manually update using the firmware from Asus site. With the firmware from Asus site you can recover your device or update but you can't downgrade to a lower version.

ok so two very conflicting answers XD
i would hope/assume that the second is true, but if anyone else could shed some light it'd be great :good:

This is absolutely untrue. Many of us that unlocked before the .26 update as well as some that have soft-bricked after flashing a CM10 pre-alpha were able to use the official updates and firmwares to get patched or back in working order.
^ This.
But I believe it re-flashed the recovery back to stock for some? (so better use those re-made zips with blobs posted here if on TWRP or other custom recovery or be prepared to do some re-flashing - just choose the most comfortable option)

I'm just going off of this in the dos and don't section of the prime. I guess it has worked for others.
DON'T
Once you unlocked the prime and installed CWM,*do NOT*try to install a super blob from ASUS (that is a blob file from one of the 'full' updates from their site)It seems that doing so*totally bricks your Prime*with no chance of recovery... (happened at least twice so far)

I believe some have flashed the official update using TWRP (don't have time to search for posts atm) and I know for a fact that you can manually do it by writing the blob to the staging partition with dd. Maybe CWM on the Prime has a bug with regard to official blobs?

As far as I know only the OTAs are affected, but why would you unlock if you were only interested in ASUS' branded firmwares anyway? The whole idea of unlocking is to enable installing custom ROMs! I sincerely do not mean to be rude, but I am going to direct: if you would, in any way, shape or form, be inconvenienced/scared/depressed/frightened/saddened to lose the functionality of updating from ASUS' repository, well, news flash: don't unlock at all. ; )
Does anyone know if there is a difference between the US .30 firmware that was pulled from the ASUS site earlier this week, and the one that is posted there now?
No I don't. If you are going to mark something as a question though, why not put it in the Q and A section...
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app
I noticed that the firmware filename now contains the date, which is new. However, the date on the file in 9/7/12, so I believe it's the same as the original .30 version. I sure hope they wouldn't release a different ROM with the same version anyway!
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2
I believe that even the ASUS firmware development team would have enough sense to bump the patch level number in the version string (i.e. .30 -> .31) if they had actually changed a publicly available release in any discernible way.
Maybe the US version was pulled from the site earlier this week, but it's clearly there now. Just checked.

It was more of a General question than a Question question, so I figured here would be appropriate.
Also, if you're not going to provide an informative answer, why would you respond?
