i want to set up my own ota server i know i need a version_info.txt file and my update the rom is already pointed to these files i just needed to know what is in the contence of the text file is it just a version number or is it some thing like version="3.1.3"
Hello Daoist, not sure if u got my messages, so here goes. Im on a rooted stock US transformer os version 8.6.5.9 i tried using your method to update to 8.6.5.13 and i used the check if all apks are there .zip you included in that tutorial. The test zip showed me that for some reason im missing kindle-oem.odex kindle-oem.apk maps.odex and maps.apk. So now im at a loss on what can be done, i would love to get my transformer up to speed, 8.6.5.19 I believe is your latest tutorial update. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If you want to update, you have a few choices:
1) find the source and restore the missing/modded files. You can download the manaul updates from the ASUS website (but you need to know how to unblob the files), or there might be a full rom floating around somewhere on xda or the internet.
2) modify the ota so that it skips the kindle and maps files. This would involve editing the updater-script and removing 8 lines- 2 lines for each file. Then rezip everything, (sign it), and flash it.
You could also roll your own custom rom...
Thank you gee one I would have to go with option 1 as i have no idea about either coding or editing a script. So far no luck with the source I might end up d/ling the update from asus website, just need to learn how to unblob it.

Ok so i dug through couple of .zips even found the files and got them back in system/app but update is still not recognizing them. Any way anyone could post kindle-OEM.odex maps.apk and maps.odex from v8.6.5.9 US? If sharing apks and files like that is not allowed then i am truly sorry i even mentioned it.

Hey,
is it possible to create your own ota update?
Why this idea? When I create my own update.zip I have to boot into recovery system and install update.zip there. Creating a ota update file is much faster, because the phone would reboot and the installation is going on without user interaction.
So is this possible? Are there any topics about ota-update files?
Thanks flo

So i just downgraded to ICS again since JB is waaaay too slow and seemed not working well with me.
My current version is 4.03 with US .30, rooted of course. Here's the thing.
My freakn stupid TF700 keeps alerting me with this message.
"New firmware update is available"
I DON'T WANT UR DAM JELLYBEAN UPDATE! I REALLY HATE THAT and do not even wanna see the word ''update" any more
it seriously freaks me out and I wanna kill myself every time I see anything related to 'UPDATE' or 'JELLY BEAN'..
EVERY SINGLE TIME I turn it on, they show me the message. Even if i ignore it once, it is still stuck in the corner of my tf 700 as u can see
from the pictures I attached. In those pictures, things in blue box are able to erase or delete by just sliding it to the right or left.
But those in red box are undeletable. There's nothing i can do to get rid of those stupid update icons and notifications.
What can I do to NOT see this notification again? I will do anything...
PS. While i was reading HTC forum, I found a thread with the same problem and one of em suggested solution
by adding something like this to the build.prop
(ro.config.htc.nocheckin=1)
Of course this one is for HTC EVO 4G LTE so theres no way it's gonna work on my TF 700
but could there be something like this that I could use for my infinity?
If your device is rooted, rename /system/app/CMClient.apk and /system/app/DMClient.apk to e.g. CMClient.disabled and DMClient.disabled - that should prevent starting them at the next reboot.
And, just to contribute something to the community's collective knowledge, please upload your file /cache/dlpkgfile somewhere - I want to know if that is a direct upgrade from 9.4.5.30 to 10.4.4.20.
Problem solved

Well, right after posting this article, I started deleting things using root explorer to see if anything can solve the problem.
Since I am not an expert, I deleted pretty much everything that seemed useless for me, including DMC and CMC whatever they are.
If i knew what I know now, I could have just renamed them, but anyway those files are completely gone now.
and Hallelujah! The notification's gone too. Thanks for your support tho.
I don't know if you still want my dlpkg file since the problem's solved already.
If you still want it, just let me know where to find that file (exact location/directory of the file) and where to upload it.:good:

Yes, please. The exact location of the file is "/cache" and the name is "dlpkgfile". I just noticed that the file will be rather big (~185 MB) and only a small detail will reveal if it is interesting in its entirety, so if you have such a file on your device, please do the following:
- download the dlpkgfile file to your PC and rename it to dlpkgfile.zip
- extract \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script from the zip
- attach the extracted file (~291 kB) to your reply post
If the first lines of updater-script indicate that it's an update from 9.4.5.30 to 10.4.4.20, the whole file can help users who downgrade to root and want to re-upgrade to the latest JB.
Alright

Here it is.
I don't know why, but I couldn't upload it here with its original form (which is just a file named 'updater-script')
so I added .zip at the end. I bet you know what you have to do now, just delete '.zip' part and use it for the community.

Code:
assert(file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "asus/US_epad/EeePad:4.0.3/IML74K/US_epad-9.4.5.30-20120907:user/release-keys" ||
file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "asus/US_epad/EeePad:4.1.1/JRO03C/US_epad-10.4.4.20-20121026:user/release-keys");
Nice, that's a direct upgrade from 9.4.5.30 to 10.4.4.20. That confirms my theory that there are dlpkgfiles that bundle multiple incremental updates into one.
If you could upload the complete dlpkgfile to some file upload service, US users who want to root their tablet without unlocking would be grateful for a one-step upgrade to the latest JB, having to mess with OTA RootKeeper and the manual upgrading process only once. (I personally don't need it, since I'm unlocked and on WW firmware)
I managed to pull some files from the 5.1.1 OTA update file and pull the .pit file from my now working tablet and make a fully working 4 file firmware and combo (all in one) firmware that CAN be flashed with Odin. I have tested it on my device and it does work. Since I know people are searching EVERYWHERE for this, I have released a download link for these files below.
Please, feel free to re-post this anywhere, just be sure to credit me.
WARNING: If you are seeing sites that charge you money for the files, DO NOT BUY IT. They are scams and I HIGHLY SUGGEST AVOIDING THESE SITES. I didn't have to buy anything, all I needed was the original 5.1.1 OTA file and 7Zip. If you do buy the firmware from these scam sites, and your device becomes bricked or messed up in some way, don't say I didn't warn you.

Are the files available or not? This is a placeholder if not and thus closed.
