Not sure I understand but if you flash the Odachi kernel (alone, or over the Moray rom) you will get the update to 3.2.1. That's the highest honeycomb version for WiFi only.
Sorry its coming up with a software update but I thort that in england we only got the 3.2 so im worried. Do I download the update or just leave it im on 3.2 rooted at the moment

I you are rooted, don't accept any OTA updates...you will screw-up your Xoom.
Just flash the Moray Rom, or Odachi kernel or the rom 1st and kernel 2nd, then you will be all updated and very happy. The rom will require you to do a factory reset/data wipe through CWM Recovery menu, though...just a warning so you can back everything up. Run a nandroid just in case, too.
thanks soo much i bricked my xoom and just mannaged to get it out as i didnt read ur reply in time wont be doing that again. will it work on my uk wifi only? and is titanium a good program to back everything up as an .img? again thank uv help me on nearly all my threads

Need to be on 8.6.6.19 for Razorclaw to work.
Someone stated they were able to downgrade but he never elaborated on how he did it.

Hey !
I tried to download the file named UpdtaeLauncher_WW_epad_8.6.6.19 (or something like that..) I found in the thread you linked. I downloaded a zip, and copied it in my internal storage, and rebooted, but nothing changed, and there isn't any downgrade.. Where do I need to copy the file, and do I have to unzip it ?
Thanks a lot !!

Thanks a lot for your help !

i think you need the files you wish to flash copied to your external storage from what I read while rooting my B70 and flashing with PRIME 2.1.1 and netformer 1.6, they all had to be on a micro SD to flash.. (???)
The downgrade isn't working for me either - B70, US, .21
I renamed the file in the dev threads to US_epad-user-8.6.6.19 (no zip), rebooted, it said there was an update with the triangle, it runs, but then goes to the Android with the triangle in the middle, then when rebooting it reverts back and loads and states the software does not match the upgrade file.
I'd like to post this in the dev thread, but I don't have 10 posts yet :lame:
not working with .23
I tried all variants for downgrading from my 8.6.6.23 (BA0, TF101G) found in the threads for .21, but it does not work at all.
The update starts, but then the little android with the yellow warning sign shows up and the .23 version keeps on rolling...
i think we have to wait... damn you asus: why don't you just let me root MY device. I bought it - i didn't rent it !?!?
Thanks toeveryone who took the time to anwear my question.. Especially stch, I've ben led to the same conclusion, but didn't want to believe it.. But, finnlaly, I have to understand that it now impossible.. I'll have to wait :/

Use nachoroot, it works great

pjfriend's alternate root method has worked for me. It allowed me to revert from .21 to .19 and then root using Razorclaw. I was having trouble at first, as I have just gotten my transformer. A note to you, when getting in to recovery, after you see the green NVidia logo, that's when you hit the volume up knocker. Not when you see the two square boxes that have 'factory wipe' and an Android there.

If NachoRoot worked, there's no need to revert from .21 to .19 to use RazorClaw.
NachoRoot should have rooted your TF.
Heh, nice find . Trying so many root methods, they begin to blur. Edited and fixed, thanks.
I have been trying to re-root my tf for quite a while now. Have had no success because I have one of the transformers that canot be rooted with Nacho (unfortunately).
I have tried all others as well and even had 3 times brought the transformer back to firmware 13 and tried to rooted.
The only time I manage to root was when I had the Firmware: V8.6.5.19 and therefore I need drastically to get that again.
If anyone have the zip I would be very glad to download it.
Thanks!
EDIT: I forgot to mention: Firmware: V8.6.5.19 WW
8.6.5.19 was pulled by Asus pretty quick because of the the exploit the devs
use to make RazorClaw work.
You can use 8.6.6.19 which is the TF101G ROM but it work for the TF101.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417006
Once root is achieved you could use OTA root keeper to save your root and update to the latest correct firmware
for your TF.
Hej Baseballfanz,
thanks for the answer, I had been on that thread and check almost all the pages and only got multiload links which of course were down.
After your suggestion I went back there and then after checking all the pages I got the link on the page 27
Thanks again. Now I am once again rooted and with revolver rom.
I tried the OTA after rooting (of course with rootkeeper) but it didnt work. First it didnt allow the OTA or the installation with the .21 firmware (force install). So I installed CWRM and flashed the firmware .21 which worked but I couldnt resore root with the rootkeeper voodoo.
I ended up giving up from Asus stock rom and went back to Revolver which is anyway my favorite custom.
Thanks again (already clicked on thanks button)
If someone (everyone) could stop using multiupload.com, then I think I might be successful in re-rooting my TF too. Same boat, I am one with a TF that nacho does not work on. And every 8.6.5.19 I find is uploaded to multiupload.com and that site will not load in the US anymore...at least not via Comcast/Xfinity.
So if someone would kindly upload it to anyplace other than multiupload.com, that would be so very VERY awesome.
Thanks!
f you wish to re-root your device from 8.6.5.21 you will need to get 8.6.6.19, not 8.6.5.19 BTW, it is very hard to find I have been looking myself to do some tests but that firmware version has been removed from Asus' site even.
Yeah Asus yanked 8.6.5.19 pretty quick aftr RazorClaw was released.

But there is no 8.6.6.xx for US transformers...not even .21 is 8.6.6.xx on the Asus site.
Yeah...8.6.6.xx is for the TF 101G only. I don't have the G version.

yes it's for the TF101G but it will work on the regular TF. You are only using it to gain root with RazorClaw.
After which you can flash a rooted stock rom made for the tf or any of the custom rom.

Just use the WW 8.6.6.19 to get root. After that flash a rooted US firmware.
I rooted my tf101 (serial bco) successfully with nachroot and adb from firmware 8.6.5.21.

Do I need to do the PWR/VOL - to Wipe Data as well?

Still no root. I followed the instructions exactly, and even several times using a variety of the other suggestions. I have both WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip and EP101_SDUPATED.zip located in the Root of both my /sdcard and /Removable/MicroSD...and all I get is the Android with Yellow Triangle.
My TF101 is the B60 model, I have had it rooted before unrooting it in anticipation for the now delayed ICS update. With the US v8.6.5.21 update on it, there seems to be no way to root it.
I guess I am SOL.

So I can NVFlash that Update file or do I have to extract it and make all the .img files etc.
It would have to be an NVFlash compatible ROM.
Here's some stock ROM plus some of the custom ROM such as Prime
has NVFlash version.

I've done this already too...and still can't get Nacho or Razor methods to work and still can't get 8.6.5.19, the update still goes directly to .21.
I feel like we are going in circles here.
Am I seriously the only B60 owner with this problem? Is there not a single other US version B60 model owner that has downgraded and then successfully rooted their TF101?
NVFlash didn't work?
I have a stock tf101 on 8.6.5.21. I have googled to no end but for the life of me I can't seem to figure out how to root the bugger. I would like to upgrade to ICS but have no idea where to start. The OTA update is not appearing and I'm tired of waiting...

Use ViperMod (Option 1) to root. After which use RecoveryInstaller to flash CWM recovery

You can use Nachoroot to root then OTA rootkeeper to keep root. The use settings/ update/ check for update.

So while waiting for replies you were able to find your own answer? Usually searching precedes posting new threads- hopefully you will heed this protocol in the future, as the fellows who commented to help you basically just wasted their time didn't they?
Typical stuff, I take no responsibility for anything that happens to your device. That being said much love to Roach2010 and KTWombley for their work which led to my insignificant contribution.
Long story short this update is for the US version of Asus Transformer TF101. This upgrade applies to those who are running stock firmware that is rooted.
If you removed any stock applications or did anything to your stock installation this will fail.
I tested this update on my own tablet and my daughters who happens to have the keyboard dock and all was good. US only but if anyone wants to forward me other packages I would be happy to add them.
Try at your own risk.

Can someone please post a step by step for running this update? been a while since I rooted and want ICS
thanks in advance... I rooted but left things unmodified
do I just flash the update like any other rom?
Yeah you can flash over.
I installed OTA Rootkeeper and made a backup of my root, then I flashed the zip like anything else. After I the update was finished, I went back into OTA Rootkeeper and noticed that I no longer had root so I used the app to restore my root and voila, all updated and rooted.
I flashed this via CWM and it all went well.
How do I remove the message in my notifications? Also, OTA (even with root keeper) doesn't seem to work with CWM installed.
Is there a ww version of this update?
Hi,
kookooktchoo, thanks for the info about OTA root-keeper!!! Unfortunately I didn't read the rest of your post, I too flashed this update and lost root. lucky I had installed and backed up my root using it.
thanks a lot !!!

Go into your apps in settings, find DMClient, then clear the data and cache, then you will get no more notifications about updates.

You can still use ViperMod primetime option 1 to root after the flashing the update. Just did it myself .

Works perfect.. I did not lose root either..
Anyone know a way to get this to not check a current app? I only changed the SystemUI and cant find my backup of the original. It hangs on that. I tried the rooted+stock full version of the first ICS release but it apparently didnt blow away my ASOP SystemUI because its still failing.
No reboots or hangs so far. Good stuff.
Update the new firmware using the normal route. Still rooted after the update. No problem at all.
Worked great for me. Thanks!
The OTA kept failing on me so I tried this and it worked great.
For an 8MB update it took a little longer than I expected to flash (+5 mins).
Apparently this doesn't fix USB mounting of internal and removable storage on PC though. I was hoping it would. Guess I'll search out the separate fix. I know I saw it around here some where.
