It is probably not really interesting to anyone now, because everybody already have updated, but somehow the update is not pushed to my device. So, the question is: where can I get the original update file whatever the filename is? I googled it several time and found zero references.
Official Asus site has older 8.6.5.9 version:
http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=Eee+Pad+Transformer+TF101&p=20&s=16
Asus ftp has older version as well:
ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF101/
xda-developers dev forum has modified update with root and for CWM.
Where can I get UpdateLauncher_US_epaduserV8_6_5_13.zip ?
Thanks
The full-update blob has not yet been released, just like the kernel source. Hopefully it will be out in a few weeks.
For now you can get the same effect if you flash the 8.6.5.9 full then the 8.6.5.13 update!
And where can I get the update?

Connect on your wi-fi and it will download.
It might not be downloading because of your current version, but if you flash the one mentioned above, it should then do it automatically.

No it doesn't. I have HTJ85B.US-epad.8.6.5.9-20110816 and I checked for update and did other tricks people mentioned, still no update. I just need to know the URL, so I could download it myself. I had root before and the the tablet has had the TW firmware originally, so this may be the reason for updates doesn't really work for me.

Any other Canadians able to update to .26, ive been trying for 3 days checking updates and havent gotten anything at all for signs of an update available.
Anyone know if our version up here would be slightly different at all?
I'm not in Canada but have had mine for a little over 2 weeks and haven't received the update yet either.

I updated mine manually. I never got any OTA. Im from Vancouver.

the manual update doesn't let you keep root or does it?
the forums get a bit confusing on that with everyone posting slightly different things at times.
Not sure as i dont root my devices.. but im guessing it wont

As I booted for the first time the update was there. I will root when it is more solid. Besides I don't need to be rooted yet either. I hear that there will be an update soon to fix the occasional flicker prob on the left hand of the screen.
There is a. 29 US and no OTA update to. 26 WW for me in Canada.... Still at. 17. Do they do this on purpose or is it a bug?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2
No update yet, though in a way I'm glad because otherwise I probably would've updated and then been unable to root without downgrading (which sounds like quite a bit of a hassle). Since I haven't encountered any major issue with the tablet thus far I'm not too worried about not having the upgrade.
I wouldn't have rooted if it weren't for Sixaxis controller needing it, but while I was at it I took advantage of that to grab Titanium and a few more root apps and am glad I rooted in the end.
Weird.. my Canadian TF300 came with US firmware. The tab was brand new sealed in box from tigerdirect.ca.

That's because Tiger Direct ships product directly from their US warehouse. Same distribution for both countries. You are fortunate, will get .29 update with battery stats and face unlock.. Fyi: For Canadians wanting to upgrade to. 26, go to Asus support Site where you can download and manually install... Just did it

No, it's called Voodoo OTA Root Keeper for a reason... It only works with OTA (over-the-air) updates.
FYI to fellow Canadians not receiving OTAs, Asus has posted the .29 update on their support site today. I just installed, working perfectly. You can find it here: http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=ASUS+Transformer+Pad+TF300T&p=20&s=16 Make sure you check to ensure you install the correct software version. Is confirmed in Settings/About Tablet/Build Number. Enjoy.
I am going to assume now that the bootloader unlock tool is out its easier to flash su and such onto this to root it?
am i correct on this?
I bought mine from directcanada.com and received .29 OTA no problem, straight out of the box

Update
Mine did the OTA update to .29 a couple days ago. Should be pushing to everybody now.
still nothing here, still checking every day. where did you buy yours Fraserlm
I'm not getting anything either... got mine from BB, was on US .17, returned that due to lack up updates (and not being able to unlock), got a new one from BB which is on WW .17 and still no updates/unlock
Anyone hear anything about possible fixes from asus?
Hello,
i have found this one in section for HTC One XL for locking the bootloader again.
I am curious, if this would work also on ours TF300T's?
Just in case i would need to send it for repair (hope this will not happen).
The command should be:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Even if it would be possible, it wouldn't matter since Asus already has your tablets serial number registered as "unlocked" in their database.

Hmmm, i didn't realized that.
And if it will work, will the OTA updates work, or no, because of their DB and my unlocked Transformer?

I'd say no because they push OTAs based on serial numbers in their database

I'm hoping for one of two things or both to happen...the decompile the bootloader unlocker project in the development section is sucessful in their efforts to unlock the bootloader without relaying your SN back to asus, or, someone figures out a way to install CWM recovery without having to unlock the bootloader.
one question. I have unlocked my bootloader 5 minutes after I got the tab.
Tested all available roms. Today i got back to stock and rooted it with the root.zip.
Booting into system and Ill get an update available message from asus. Thought there were no on air updates after unlocking
@mikaole:
I have upadated the tablet right after unboxing.. and then unlocked in 15min after update. But it was 2 weeks ago, so i don't know, if i will get any other OTA notification.
While i am checking the FW update, it says: no update available
*nevermind

But that doesn't matter if your locked because you can download and install the upgrade from Asus site. (re)rooting with unlocked bootloader is easy.
I understand that it voids the warranty etc (although it seems asus are better than some at fixing hardware issues on unlocked devices, and my warranty is with amazon anyway...)
What i dont get is the deal with updates. Does unlocking only stop ota updates? or will it prevent me from updating by downloading from the asus site, and doing a manual install?
Thanks for any info, i finally have a sound TF700 (3rd time lucky on RMA) and want to start trying out some of the ROMs!
Do not attempt to in install from Asus website. It will brick your tablet. Check the prime forums. There should be numerous post on this when they first released the unlock tool. Since you don't have nvflash I would advised against being adventurous.

Only OTAs are affected after unlocking, but you can manually update using the firmware from Asus site. With the firmware from Asus site you can recover your device or update but you can't downgrade to a lower version.

This is absolutely untrue. Many of us that unlocked before the .26 update as well as some that have soft-bricked after flashing a CM10 pre-alpha were able to use the official updates and firmwares to get patched or back in working order.
^ This.
But I believe it re-flashed the recovery back to stock for some? (so better use those re-made zips with blobs posted here if on TWRP or other custom recovery or be prepared to do some re-flashing - just choose the most comfortable option)

I'm just going off of this in the dos and don't section of the prime. I guess it has worked for others.
DON'T
Once you unlocked the prime and installed CWM,*do NOT*try to install a super blob from ASUS (that is a blob file from one of the 'full' updates from their site)It seems that doing so*totally bricks your Prime*with no chance of recovery... (happened at least twice so far)
Click to expand...

I believe some have flashed the official update using TWRP (don't have time to search for posts atm) and I know for a fact that you can manually do it by writing the blob to the staging partition with dd. Maybe CWM on the Prime has a bug with regard to official blobs?

As far as I know only the OTAs are affected, but why would you unlock if you were only interested in ASUS' branded firmwares anyway? The whole idea of unlocking is to enable installing custom ROMs! I sincerely do not mean to be rude, but I am going to direct: if you would, in any way, shape or form, be inconvenienced/scared/depressed/frightened/saddened to lose the functionality of updating from ASUS' repository, well, news flash: don't unlock at all. ; )
Since Jellybean update is just around the corner, can anyone suggest initial steps to be done prior to the said update?
Thanks a lot...
Don't: root, unlock, flash or **** with your TF700 in any way if you're currently on stock and want the update OTA.
Do: wait patiently and regularly check this forum and/or check for firmware update on your TF700.
Rooting may not prevent the update, I took .30 over .26 while rooted and it applied perfectly fine.

Being Rooted is fine. I don't understand why this is still going around about being rooted prevents ota. You can still receive ota updates when rooted. You will actually lose root when you do take the update. Unless you protect your root with voodoo ota rootkeeper.

That is what I thought, but this is my first tablet and my first ASUS, so I didn't want to state definitively that it would not affect the update.
I've had 2 Motorola Android-based smartphones, so I'm familiar with Android in general, but different OEMs do things differently, obviously.

Nope. You can of course download the update from ASUS' website and flash it yourself, but they won't do it for you no more. : )
1. If you are 100% stock - NO problem with OTA.
2.. If you are just rooted - you can download OTA root keeper from the market and perform a temp unroot your device to get ready(if you want to keep root after the update). OTA should work fine. After the update some people may have to REroot.
3. If you have unlocked bootloader with root or without root, you will NOT able to do OTA update. Once you unlocked your bootloader, OTA no longer works and NO you can't RElocked your bootloader to take OTA. You will have to manually perform the update. There will be plenty of instruction how to do once JB is out.
Hope it's clear for everyone.
4. If you have custom rom, definitely NO OTA update and you don't want OTA update anyway. Just wait for a new official JB custom rom or update manually.
Is it really necessary to enable disabled applications beforehand or it's just another Android myth??

I would err on the side of caution and enable all. Then do a cold boot. Only then, do you do the update. After the update, disable the apps. Then cold boot again. :good:

So if I'm running the Zues custom rom now, once the official jellybean hits I can download manually from ASUS website and flash in TWRP?
Yes you can flash official firmwares with TWRP, though it has been stated there may be some issues with TWRP until they get it recompiled using the new kernel source.
how-to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755576
yeah flashing the update with twrp is ok (i think) but then just stick with stock recovery until twrp is updated. No idea if cwm is the same way... guess we should read up in the tf300 forum.
Uninstall ezoverclock. Don't think it works on the infinity anyway, but i had it installed since i used it on the prime. The 300 forum indicated that it will cause bootloops.
