i got an OTA update this morning - Asus Transformer TF700

Hi. A firmware update came through this morning. I'm already at .26. Could this be JB? I haven't installed it yet cause someone mentioned after install you can't copy file for sharing. Can someone tell me how? If this is it, i want to post.

Nope not JB... Its .30 of ICS mainly to fix the 64gb class 10 to be recognized by the tablet... and maybe a few others.... but not JB. Plus there is a thread all about this update.

Ahh, sorry. I'll go ahead and install then.

does it bust root? If so, does the debugfs method still work?

of course it does. Use rootkeeper then install the OTA. It's unknown if the debugfs still works, thus rootkeeper

Dont have to temp unroot. I downloaded the .30 file, unzipped it, moved to internal SD
then booted into TWRP, as I am unlocked and rooted, installed file.
Rebooted, ran rootdebugFS and done!:good:

As a UK user, is there a .30 download for WW? I can't find it.

Nothing for WW yet and ASUS have recently pulled all the other .30 updates from their website.

Well they're back up then as they were pulled earlier, it was mentioned by a number of people in the other thread.
From post 233
to post 237
Cheers Q

ive been checkin every 2 hours and theyve been up there since when they were posted, unless they were pulled during the night

LOL well its not like all of us had the same hallucination, unless we all drank the same Koolaide at 3AM or something, they were definitely down, there are numerous posts about them being down in a couple of the threads and people hypothesising why they were down.
Good to see they are back up but still no WW version

Not yet, the WW release was never available, the other 4 were, but only for a short while.
I, too, am still waiting for the WW OTA. I wish Asus would inform us better.

Because most have been looking here.
Clearly the support sites have not mirrored/synched correctly yet. There's more than one ip in the dns entry. I had noticed that already yesterday, when page refreshes would show the one with or the one without the updates.

Weird. When I use that link it shows the 4 new files. But when I select OS to "Other" and back to "Android" it refreshes and the 4 files go missing.
edit: beh, i should've refreshed and saw xcal321's post

I got the OTA update the other day, but it didn't install right. The update WAS on Asus website. I was tired, so i figured I'd do it in the morning. This morning, they were gone.

[Q] How can I force an OTA update?

Just got a replacement device and accidentally cancelled the update. Now when I check it says im up to date
Did you already try settings, about tablet, system update?
you can force it by heading over to the dev section, rooting your transformer and flashing prime v1.1 so you don't brick your device.
Asus pulled the update due to devices getting bricked.
DONT update.
Some are getting bricked and there is a forum post waiting for further recommendations.

Im on hols at the moment, away from my PC but will definitely root when in back home.
Just needed to get rid of some of the lag there's at least one FOTA available for this device.

This. I'm not sure if there has been any confirmation, but i'm pretty sure myself and a couple of others finally got them to pull the update.
You're all great warning me off updating
But is there an actual answer to my question?

The answer is exactly what A Naked Emo said, but the firmware has been pulled from the update server, so until they put out a fix you will have to wait, and technically you have the latest version available at this time.

A few hours after I connected to WiFi for the first time My transformer told me there was an update ready to install. I accidentally cancelled the notification. In stuck with the laggy Spanish text version
I guess ill have to be patient. Although its a long weekend with it in this state

Firmware update failed

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.

I also have the same problem it will be great if u can tell us how you fixed the problem

With most of us not receiving .26 OTA, What are the chances that JB is the same way?

Those of us who had to manually update our Infinity to the latest .26 firmware because the OTA never came through.
What if ASUS releases Jelly Bean (JB) to the Transformer Infinity tablets and no one can see it because it will never show there's an update available.
Expect nothing...hope for something...
I wouldn't hold your breath, I'm certainly not holding mine.
who cares? whats so hard in manually updating? OTA updates are a feature, not the only road to go on.
If you need OTA rootkeeper then yes, it may be a factor.

You obviously don't care. ASUS posting the .26 update on their website was also a feature. Had they not done that many of us would still be on the base firmware.
So if ASUS doesn't post the update on their website this time and announce the JB release to the Infinity via OTA, but only 15% reportedly get the OTA. Would you still not care?
I don't know about you but I haven't seen any OTA update of any kind of on my Infinity since I got it, unlike when I had my Transformer Prime where there were updates coming every 2 weeks.
This should concern anyone who had to manually update their Infinity.

It's all good. This site will be abuzz like a kicked hornets best when it hits. Even IF Asus doesn't post the download, which is HIGHLY unlikely, someone on here will copy it and post for the others.. we're one big, friendly, helpful group here.
I'm fairly sure the OTA issue was fixed a while ago.

AKAIK Asus fixed the unlock/no OTA updates issue (yes these issues were related) so imo most users got the .26 OTA already. Also don't worry too much, i'm sure the JB update will be uploaded on Asus site a few days after the OTA update.

Le misleading title xD

To those that were having issues receiving OTAs

Are there any users out there having issues receiving OTA updates and unlocking their TF700? There was an issue a while back where some could not receive the .26 OTA. The issue has since been resolved, but I was wondering if there is anyone who cannot receive OTAs still. Please e-mail [email protected] if you are still experiencing problems with that and unlocking your device.
If your TF700 was able to update to .26 fine, but has not received the .30 yet, please be patient as it will eventually get to you.

any ideas when WW will get .30?
I have not recieved it, but my serial starts with us.

Ota got stuck at 99% downloaded, I 'turned it off and back on again' And it completed the download and installed correctly
Cant wait for the jellybean patch
Also, infinity should have been the first with jb but really google needs a system in place to let them update the core os and enable asus to patch it quickly with their customizations. You dont need to wait for dell to release windows patches for example

I never got the OTA for .26. I have to manually apply the downloaded file from Asus service site to get from .22 to .26. I have gotten the OTA update for .30. It installed with out any issues during the install nor have I had any issues after the install. I also went to the Asus service site and downloaded the .30 US file to keep along with the .22 and .26 update files. I find it a little unsettling that Asus has pulled the .30 update especially since I have no issues with that specific installation. Perhaps it means that Jelly Bean release is just around the corner.

Would it be possible to provide us with information about the situation of the .30 WW release? Should we get it via OTA or is it just not yet available?
Without this information we cannot tell the difference between a non working OTA (like before) or that it is just not available (yet). The publishing of the 4 .30 non WW releases (however briefly it might have been), only added to the confusion.
I am glad ASUS provides the updates, but I am a little disappointed about the information of how, when, where and what.
The US and the WW usually start rolling out at the same time, so I would be on the lookout for it now.

I have been since I saw post mention the US .30 OTA. Is there any specific information you require when emailing you?
I had to do a manual update for WW from .22 to .26, and assuming WW .30 OTA is available it is not working.

I would give it a few more days. Restart your tablet and keep pinging the server until it comes through.
There is not even one single report of getting WW version, so I doubt it is there.
If they are pushing out together, they certainly didn't this time.
WW is just not there.

No problems so far. Nothing new or anything nice either. Same old laggy infinity
But this was lucky as I should receive SD-card today from Amazon.
Maaybe just a teenyweeny snappier. Nowhere close to Jelly bean on SGS3 but maybe a bit better now. Or then just placebo
Yeaaaah. Installing....
If it doesn't break anything, brick etc... still better than no update at all
it failed for me....got red triangle on android open belly
All good here, already at Android Upgrading stage, so i think i passed, huh.
