You could substitute the .30 update for the .26 since it appears to be available online again.

You could substitute the .30 update for the .26 if it is available online. I think it was taken down, but it may be available in someone's dropbox...perhaps in Development/ZEUS Rom thread.

Just an FYI - the .30 firmware is now available on the Asus site again - I downloaded it this morning.

Did you put the full image correctly renamed to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip on the SD card and reboot into recovery? (Power + Vol Down then Vol Up when you see the text at the top left?). This is the only way to recover from this situation that I know of, however, you won't lose anything - it upgrades "in place"

won't update after got my RMA back

Received my tablet back (could not power up problem), the repair note is stating "Recover OS: Yes". Well the unit is repaired and I can turn it on. The firmware is .26. I thought I had .27 updated. Anyway, went to About tablet - System firmware Update. After click on check update, it replies "there is no update available for your device currently." I waited for another day to see it will receive notification or not but nothing happen.
How do I activate OTA for firmware .30? Tried reboot the tablet with power + vol dn two times. check "system firmware update" and still no update available.
What can I do to get this tablet to update to .30?

Just go and download .30 from Asus' website and install per their instructions... You don't *need* to update via OTA...

Mine has serial number.
Anyway, after following the instruction posted in the thread above and going through many reboot (should I say recovery process) with renaming the zip to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip. It finally gets updated to .30. I hope this update will restore OTA feature for future updates. I don't know what the repair done to my tablet resulting unable to perform OTA. As as side note, the reboot and recovery procedure is so confused. I still do not know exactly the step go to recovery. Most of time playing power button + vol up or down will get to reboot (cold reboot). Couple times I got to recovery mode and saw it was failed to look for EP201_768_SDUPDATE file before it was renamed.

No OTA 4.1 update for me.

I'm hoping someone might be able to help me get my TF300T updated to 4.1. I have not received an OTA update as of yet and I assume I would have by now if I was going to. I went to the ASUS site and downloaded the firmware update for my model but can't figure out how to get it installed. Could someone point me in the right direction or help me with this?
Thanx

Have you rooted? Unlocked bootloader?
If not, try rebooting your tablet and go into settings----> About tablet -----> system firmware update -----> check update (or you could keep pressing Pad EC version and then update). I don't know why you can't upgrade though, seems strange.

I have the same problem i colled to asus poland and the do not know to

Rooted no, unlocked bootloader yes.
I did that awhile ago with the intent to root and put CM10 on. Never went any further than the unlocked bootloader. Do you think that would prevent it?

I think it might, although I don't know much. There are threads explaining how to do the update with an unlocked bootloader I think

as Asus already put the rom file on their support site, why dont you just download and install that instead of waiting for ota?

I said that in my original post. I downloaded the update from their site, but have no idea how to install it. It is something I have to flash or just an installer I run on the tablet?

The link I posted should help I think

for default asus recovery:
open the zip file you got, inside it you should find another zip file
rename that (without unzipping it) as EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip and copy it on a micro sd card
insert the micro sd card in your tablet, power off your tablet, power on in recovery (power+volume down, then volume up)
wait for it to install (two part process, first you get the android robot with a spinning polihedron in his tumming and a slowly filling bar at the base while the rom is unpacked and prepared, then it will reboot and you will see the asus logo with another slowly filling bar at the base while the rom is actually installed - DONT SHUT DOWN, RESTART OR WATHEVER FOR ANY REASON DURING THIS PHASE!).
no root needed.
for custom recovery: same as before (unzip the basic zip file, copy the inside zip to your sd, probably there's no need to rename it), wipe everything, then your custom recovery has a feature for burning a rom, follow their instructions.
by the way, this is not an update procedure but a complete reinstall, you will lose everything on your tablet you have not backupped.

can you post the link to the tf300tg jb software. i don't see any jb link for tf300tg on the asus support site

afaik asus has yet not posted it.

I am unable to post links, but if you find your tablet on their site, then select the Download tab.
Down below select Android under OS and then Firmware. Then find the update that matches your SKU.

They updated their web page, now there is ASUS Transformer Pad TF300TG Firmware: V10.4.3.7 ready for download.

[Q] Is it possible to root after jellybean update WITHOUT unlocking?

I recently bought my new Transformer Infinity and like an idiot I updated to jellybean without thinking if I wanted to root first.
I've tried several different ways but I can't get my TF700t to root after updating so that leads me to ask if I must unlock before rooting after jellybean?
I've tried downgrading and that is to say I've put the 9.4.5.30 update in my root of the microsd card and when I go to recovery boot i just get the little guy on his back with a red triangle and black exlamation mark.
I realize unlocking will void my warranty which I am a little hesitant, though I never purchased any warranty with my tf700t but i think i can do so now.
I tried following this post:
Thanks for the reply, but i've been working on this for the past couple of hrs and my issue is solved. i'm currently back at 4.1.1 Jellybean again and Root Checker has verified that root is in place. the su binary is also present and all apps that need root work properly (Busybox, Titanium Backup, etc). i've also rebooted and rechecked several times to be sure, it say rooted every time now, whereas it didnt before. I managed to do all of this without unlocking the bootloader as well, even though what i've read elsewhere says it is necessary to do so.
I would have agreed with you before on your point that OTA updates are irreversible, and they usually are, but my experience today shows otherwise. however, you are right that each OTA will probably make it harder to reroot or stay rooted. you're also right that factory reset only wipes data but not firmware, which i just recently figured out today before you posted. i used the "about tablet" section in settings both before and after my steps below to verify that i had indeed downgraded/upgraded firmware/Android versions from JB to ICS and vice versa.
here are the steps i took, in sequential order, so that maybe anyone else with my issue can benefit. i cant gaurantee it will work for everyone:
1. downgraded from 4.1.1 JB firmware to "Eee Pad Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T Firmware: V9.4.5.30 Only for US SKU (Android 4.0.3)". This will roll you back from Jellybean to Ice Cream Sandwich. go to support.asus.com, enter TF700T as the model number, and scroll down until you find this, then download it and unzip the zip file to the root of your sdcard (there is a zip file within the downloaded zip, place that at the root, not the downloaded file itself). if you are using a TF700T that is not US-based then download the appropriate file for your region, just make sure that it has .30 in the file name. I read on a forum somewhere that this is the only firmware update for this device that enables downgrading from higher version to 4.0.3, although it's possible that others may work. then power off your device and do a cold boot (hold down left volume and then followed by power button, do this for about 10 seconds. when you get to the desktop/start screen you will see "Safe Mode" in lower left corner, then your device will notify that an update is available. tell it to apply and let it reboot. when it powers back on you should be back at 4.0.3
2. Do a factory reset, this can be done either before or after the step above, but i did it after. i'm not sure if this is necessary , but just to be on the safe side. back-up all important info, apps, etc beforehand
3. I used the method at Simple Guide to Root TF700T Asus Transformer Pad Infinity : Tips For Tab . this guide can also be found at other websites, but the steps are the same and the files/utilities needed are the same as well. just follow the steps. this will not work if you are still at 4.1.1, you will get the error i detailed in my last post.
4. Download Root Checker (to verify root access) and make sure you have the latest Superuser installed from Play (SuperSU may also work but i'm not sure, i'm using the paid version of Superuser Elite). and also get Voodoo OTA RootKeeper (free), this has a function that will allow you to restore root access after upgrading to 4.1.1. Superuser Elite also has a "ota survival" function that does essentially the same, both worked for me (this software isnt free). and get Busybox and a terminal emulator like Better Terminal Emulator or Android Terminal Emulator. i'm not even sure if these last 2/3 are absolutely necessary, but they install essential must-have functions that all root users should have.
5. then use RootKeeper and make a backup of the su binary, or place a checkmark beside the "ota survival" function in Superuser Elite. either will backup the su info so that it can be restored.
6. Next, do a direct OTA upgrade to 4.1.1 JB , either by using the built-in firmware update function, or by manually downloading from the website and updating using the method listed above. Do NOT do a restore to factory backup state after this point (especially after), it will most likely wipe out the backups of su made by RootKeeper/Superuser Elite.
7. after the upgrade is finished you will be back at start screen at at 4.1.1, use Root Checker and it will say you're not rooted. Then use either of the 2 programs ive outlined to restore the su binary from the backup. in SU(E) just uncheck and recheck the OTA Survival box, or in RootKeeper just restore from backup. Then go back to Root Checker after doing either of these, it should say rooted. reboot and recheck to make sure.
8. That's it! just wash, rinse and repeat when the next firmware update is available, hopefully these same steps should work
Also make sure to keep a backup of the su binaries/app from here onwards, otherwise at some point in the future you may lose the ability to simply restore from backup after each OTA Firmware update. you will have to start over from the beginning.
I'm sure someone figured this out already, but i figured i would post anyways.

Where did you get the old ROM from? ASUS isnt hosting it anymore and it HAS TO BE a factory original Firmware signed properly or it will not take. In fact you should see "Signature Match" (or maybe its matched) in the top left corner in recovery.
I'm not saying that message is a guarantee you have the right ROM but its a good sign.
The default warranty is like a year so I wouldnt want to unlock either.

Makes me wonder if they have broken downgrade on the 10_4_4_25 firmware then?! The TF201 had that happen on the first JB update. You could no longer downgrade to ICS.
Edit, Adding that I just downloaded the US 9.4.5.30 from that site you linked to and an MD5 check confirmed it matches the one I have used 3 times.

The link you supplied that has all the firmwares there are several that say 9.4.5.30
The first one is WW, World Wide. You need to make sure you get the correct one for your device. So if you bough retail in the US get the second one that says "US". The firmware will not work if you don't get the correct one.
An easy way to tell what you need is to go to settings and scroll down to "About" on the left. Tap About and on the right half scroll down to "Build Number" My daughters TF201 says JRO03c.US_epad........
So she has the US one and would need the US Firmware.
If you have a US device and tried to apply the WW firmware from what I have read it will fail, won't work.. dead andy. Make sure you have the right firmware for your device.
Please post back your results as I am sure many would be interested if ASUS broke reverting to ICS.

After you download the zip file, first you have to UNZIP the zip file and you're going to see another zip file. Now rename this new zip to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip , then copy this to the root of your sdcard, boot into recovery and try again.

The only device I believe you should ever have to root/unlock /jailbreak is the IOS platform. As you probably know, you are extremely limited to any customization with an IOS device. Under the android platform, I find that there are many flavours of customization under the stock setting already. I've ran the TF700T with the latest updates and firmware for the past few months and performance is still optimal ... I also bet that if you had my tablet side by side next to a rooted/unlocked TF700T tablet, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference from a performance perspective. I'm only speaking from a standard user point of view. I can see where a developer may want root access and or someone who wants to learn how to program the OS, create custom ROMS etc., however for the casual user, I'd leave it the way it is.

I guarantee if you unlocked and installed a custom rom you would be blown away with how slow stock is Seriously, how do you know if you haven't done it? Seems like a strange challenge you have set. BTW I don't know one single person who has unlocked and gone to a custom rom who would go back to locked stock because performance is that different. You just don't know it.

A significant reason for increased performance on custom ROMS is that the kernel they use allows for overclocking usually to 1.8GHZ. Just FYI in the interest of full disclosure.
It is not the ONLY reason but a big part of why they look/feel so much faster.

Hello everyone, I just joined XDA and hope to be a successful contributor to this amazing community. This is my first post, hope it will be of help.
I can confirm that 10.4.4.25 did not break the downgrade option. Like others already suggested, make sure you're using the firmware which matches your device (WW/US/etc.) and you should be fine.
I Just got my device tonight from ASUS (RMA due to crashes every 2.5 days on the clock, black lines every few seconds, extremely laggy).
My precious came with 10.4.4.23 and I upgraded it to 10.4.4.25 to check the performance and black lines issue. With 25 it still lags a little but less than 23 and other earlier firmwares. I ran these tests on 23 then on 25:
1. For real life performance (don't care about synthetic benchmarks) I updated all the apps simultaneously. Both firmwares were laggy but 25 was much less than 23.
2. The black line is still there in 25 but much less than 23. I could reproduce it only with the black hole live wallpaper test which is a very good sign as in 23 I reproduced it a couple of times without the black hole live wallpaper.
After these tests I downgraded successfully to 9.4.5.30 (US) in order to root (need that for Avast FW) with no problems at all. Now I will go root it.
Update: Successfully rooted and upgraded back to 10.4.4.25

No you can't, you need to upgrade to JB .16, then .18 then you can jump to .25.

Thanks for the update.
Mine did not see any update regarless of multiple checkings performed (this was done before any rooting attempted). I am in the process of dowloading dlpkgfiles and slowly doing the hard way.
Update: After I reflashed back to 9.4.5.30 to root, I went on and started updating using dlpkgfile started with .16, .18, .20, .23, and finally .25. All is good now. However, I had a few errors when going from .16 to .18 due to getting incorrect/wrong dlpkgfile.
Thank you for everyone's help.

[Q] DLPKG files for TW SKU

Hi friends,
I have a TW SKU of the tf700, I recently downgraded to ICS .30 to obtain root, but after that my tablet cannot receive any OTA updates anymore. I can't seem to find a solution to fix this, so the only thing left for me to do is to manually update through dlpkg files. However, I cannot find any dlpkg for TW SKU anywhere on xda. So, I would really appreciate if you guys can help with either:
1. Fix the OTA update issue (no matter how I check system update, it always says no update available):
I simply followed the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1925230 and flashed ICS .30 firmware and ran Debugfs to root. As such, I did not made any changes to builds.prop or any other files for that matter. I have also done a factory reset, clear data of dmclient, cmclient but still no luck in getting any JB OTA updates.
2. Links to dlpkg files for TW SKU.
Thanks a lot.

The reason why I cannot manually flash full JB firmwares is that I will lose root if I do so. Since my tablet is still locked, downgrading is the only way to obtain root and then apply OTA updates to reach the latest version. Sadly I can't find any OTA update files for TW SKU.

Even though the firmware download page says you can't do SKU conversions, I think several people have done it - so if you don't find TW dlpkgfiles, maybe you can flash the US or WW version of 9.4.5.30 and then update that. But try to find someone who can confirm that this really works.

Thanks for the suggestion, I guess that is the only other alternative I can explore. The thing I am concerned about is that I don't want to void my warranty (which explains why my tablet is still locked), but to me SKU conversion seems to fall within the area that may cause troubles when I send my tablet to ASUS service center in the future. I definitely will read up on this, but it will be great if someone can provide verification.
