I am about to go on a long trip and want to get to .26 to get better I/O.
I am still on .21 and when I check for System Update (Settings-->About Tablets-->Check System Firmware Update), it sayd it is not available.
I have never been rooted or unlocked.
I want to see if others are in my boat. Please also state whether you are rooted/unlocked or not.
I would like to prefer to not root at this point.
EDIT:
I got impatient since I am about to go out of town for a while.
Did manual update from .21 to .22 US version (see my reply #10 below)
Rooted using DebugFS (but still locked):

I am beginning to think we need to update to .22 manually to see the .26 update.
I think once you download the zip file, unzip to find another zip file, US_epad-user-9.4.5.22.zip, put it into root of the microsd (not internal sd), unplug the usb cable and you should get a prompt that a system update file is detected, and it will ask if you want to update.

Seems C6 and C7 are just not on the list to get it now. Probably the newest devices around.
Maybe they will activate the next batch on Monday. I can wait

Grey tablet
Not rooted
Boobloader stock/untouched
Received the tablet with .21
Serial Number starts with: C7
Never received a OTA notice.
Downloaded .22 update file from Asus site yesterday and did a micoSD manual installation. Unit now at .22 and working fine.
Have done Manual Request for OTA multiple time since with notice my unit is up to date. Guess I will have to wait until .26 file is placed onto the Asus site and again do a microSD manual installation to get me to .26. Did not ever have this issue with the TF101 or TF201 I have previously to this TF700.

Where did you get this information, reference site or Asus representative conversation please.
Seems as in I think as in it's my opinion not fact, sorry if that was unclear.
Something important I think to note, since I've seen a few people here post that they've unlocked... Asus disables OTAs for people with unlocked bootloaders. At least, they did on the Prime and TF300. For those people, the only option is to do it manually.
Rooted users with locked bootloaders should be fine, as (obviously) should people with locked bootloaders without root.

I got tired of waiting, and used that method as well.
Mine finally came this morning. I lost root. I had used the debugfs method prior to the update.

The device I'm talking about: Transformer ww 8.4.4.11
Bought the device with HC3.1 v. 8.4.4.11 ww
I've rooted the device, without problems.
Wanted to update OTA to 3.2 ww.
Unrooted the device. Checked with rootchecker, so it is unrooted, no superuser, no busybox on it. Now it has again HC 3.1 v. 8.4.4.11. ww
Since that, my ota doesn't work.
Question: Is there anyone who managed to update his device (OTA to 3.2 ww) after a rooting unrooting procedure?
If yes, please, please tell me how.
Thank you.
Well... it seems that no one managed to get the ota...
In this case I'm the only one who received it. Cos I did receive it.
i'm not shure if i understand your last post. Did you get the ota? cause i unroot my device today to 8.4.4.11 (HC 3.1) I can update is manual to 8.6.5.7 but i unroot it specialy to 8.4.4.11 to check if i will get again ota.
So, did you get it and had to wait much time or how i should understand your post ^^
Don't even need to unroot if you upgrade from 3.1 to 3.2 using firmware for asus site.

I mean't OTA. I wanted to try, if i will get OTA updtes after flash a stock rom. In the post you show they talk about flashing update manual. I know about this and how to do it. So i will wait a few days and see if my TF will tell me something about updates.

I have. Assuming you have unrooted properly all you need to do now is re-flash an official update from the Asus site. If that doesn't work you haven't unrooted properly and you'll need to NVflash back to stock and re-flash another Asus download. Should be solved after this and allow fota updates to be downloaded normally and installed.
i have unrooted my TF like in this thread yesterday.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154947&highlight=unroot
i took the original asus firmware 8.4.4.11. I could take the new one 8.6.5.7 but i specially took the older one to see if there will be an ota update. i have no message till now that there is an update for my device.
Does anybody know how long it could take? now there are 30h gone since unroot and flash an original asus FW. If i try manualy to search for an update my TF says there isn't one for my device now.
is there a difference if i take a WW Firmware or a DE? Don't know if there will be problems with the OTA updates if i take the WW Firmware. I'm from Germany, so i took the DE Firmaware.
EDIT: I forgot to say. I have the stock recovery and no Superuser app. And the flashing was without any problems.
Solved
I get the OTA update today. The only thing you have to do after unroot properly and flashing a stock rom is to wait some days.
Hi 2days ago I tried to root my device by looking at the info from the website
http://eeepadhacks.net/transformer-hacks/how-to-root-eeepad-transformer-honeycomb-3-2/
They give you a zip with firmware and adb to make it easier to root
I did the steps there and some things did not work
Right now I have an old firmware and it won't let me update to the regular real firmware
It keeps on saying I'm on the latest firmware
I tried nachoroot which wouldnt show I'd of 0 after 5 times trying the process from the begining
I tried unrooting by suggestions from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093403
But it didn't help I also wiped all the data and it didn't help
Firmware htk75.us_epad-8.6.5.21
Kernel 2.6.36.3-00001g9a21fc1 android#1
Android version is 3.2.1
Any help is very much appreciated I understand a new android version should be available soon I hope this will still let me upgrade android although I can't seem to update firmware
Isn't 8.6.5.21 the latest firmware?
Its possible I am just confused for some reason I thought that there is a 9. Something firmware when I just got the device I updated the firmware I thought I got it to a 9
something. wow this is emberrassing
So what I have is definitely the new firmware? Hmm then why can't I root?
my SN begins with BC and ends with 89
Is it rootable? I only saw ppl talking about other serial numbers like B80 etc...
Your tablet should be rootable but not with the method you linked above.
Try NachoRoot again or ViperMod which use NachoRoot but it does all the steps for you.
Another option is down grade to 8.6.6.19 and use RazorClaw.
thank you very much I will try with vipermod have a nice day

Hello there, I recently got a tf101 from a friend.(I am new to the device)
it's on v8.6.5.9 I checked for updates and it says none found, what.
I hear you can use razorclaw and root your device without a pc which is good because i believe connecting the divece to a pc is too much work.
How to update to a version supported by razorclaw, I tried usingthe app and it gives me a message saying I do not have the files needed. How to?

RazorClaw need .19 firmware (HC)
The firmware you need is not on Asus website but there's a 8.6.6.19 (originally for 3g model)
floating around that you could use

Not 3g model but is there a big difference?
and do you happen to know what thread I may find it on, I tried searching for it and so much irrelevant threads.
Nvm, got it. thnx.
Here's the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417006
the firmware is for a 3G model but will flash on a wifi only model.
The main thing is so you'll be able to use RazorClaw to root, install CWM
and can flash any rooted ROM you like up to the current ICS.
With a firmware that old you might have an SBKv1 tf
so another option is NVFlash if the above don't work.
(Serial # began with B60 or previous (some B70)) is nvflashable
Just downloaded the WW firmware from the Asus website, not sure how to get it on my tablet though, can anyone help?
My tf300t is unlocked btw so cant get the ota update.
Thanks
sorted it now however I lost all my data which is annoying
Can anyone help me? I have an ASUS Zenfone 6, I checked my device settings and everything from the 'about' menu at settings and it says I have a 1.16 WW firmware. When I downloaded the newest 1.18 WW firmware from support.asus.com and tried to flash it says:
Device image SKU: CUCC
OTA image SKU: WW
And the update fails
I am honestly confused to what's going on here. I thought I have WW with gapps and everything working but suddenly when I try to update I have CUCC? Oh and what's weird is that when I just got the phone SuperSU was synced from my previous phone and I just wanted to check out what happens if I open SuperSU without rooting but when SuperSU opened it asks me whether I want to update the binary normally or from CWM/TWRP! This mind you only happens if you had rooted the phone and ran SuperSU for the first time, surprisingly according to root checker I have root! JUST BY INSTALLING SUPERSU! So I was wondering if my phone was tampered before I bought it? I legally bought it new from a nearby mall with it still complete with the packaging and warranty card, so I'm really confused to what is going on.
Can anyone please please help me, do anyone else who has the WW firmware has anything like this happen when you want to flash the firmware update? I tried to force the firmware update using fastboot, nothing changed, but now my phone won't detect my SD Card and every time I open settings the phone would restart. The only way I can think of to fix this is by flashing a fresh ROM but so far I cannot find a link that has Zenfone 6 stock ROM, only the firmware. I've thought of returning the phone with the reason that I got tricked into buying a CUCC Zenfone instead of the WW that is sold on my region.
Note: I bought the phone in Indonesia and basically there are 2 warranty. One from the official ASUS and another from 'distributor', because the distributor is cheaper I bought that one thinking I'm only having a different warranty and a lack of support from ASUS officials but is it possible this distributor actually sell a modified CUCC SKU that is changed to WW? I've seen some articles/video to switch from TW/CN to WW and it kind of raised my suspicion.
