I just got the OTA for the .30 firmware so I put back the stock build.props and the two client apk and odex files, but when trying to update I got an image of a fallen over android with a red exclamation.
What is wrong?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
Same for me
Isn't that the stock recovery screen?
see the install logs in /cache/recovery/ for details, there you should find a reason why it failed
the file size is 4.5kb. The text viewer shows an empty file.

The actual file size of the .30 update is over 200 MB. I'm guessing file didn't download right.
My tablet wouldn't auto update .26 OR .30
Had to install from micro SD. Not sure why. I'm rooted, but still locked and running stock.

I had the same and the reason was that I had a modified version of file build.prop (modified to have a different dpi value). And the OTA is checking wether or not you have a stock version of build.prop (and also of another file but don't remember which one) and if it founds that your tablet is not stock anymore at 100% then it will fail with the android/red triangle.
To resolve there are 2 ways :
- restore back the stock version of build.prop (and other file)
or
- do manual update (by downloading the .30 firmware from Asus support web site and putting on /sdcard and rebooting)
ps : that issue has already been discussed several times and you could find more detailed "how to" in other threads

PS. If you read my post, I have already restored the stock versions of the necessary files so this issue should not occur.
How to's didnt help because I have a 100% Original stock device.
If anyone still have trouble updating.
As d14b0ll0s said, use a root file browser and see bottom of the /cache/recovery/last_log file right after reset from failed update. If you have trouble opening up that file (empty) copy it to some folder on sdcard (Documents, etc.) and open that.
In my case, i forgot to rename CMClient back to .apk
I dunno if this will help but I have a stock 700. I wanted to reflash the 30 update as I was having problems with the OTA I got. I d/l from Asus the correct US version and unzipped it and copied the zip file I got from that to my root on the sdcard. All this was done on the PC. I got the same error as you all wheb I tried to perform the flash. Then I changed the name of that zip file to EP201_768_SDUPDAT.zip while it was on the PC and copied that to the sdcard again. Followed the alternative firmware update method (found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755576) and it worked. It helped as most of the weird crap has stopped happening and now I have the normal crap happening like everyone else.
My Solution was to kill the Pad. Now I updated to JB. Works perferctly.
.26 & .30 always did the same, and i had to manually update from SD card. NOW, same thing with JB. Voodoo has also never worked. I have a locked, rooted, stock device. I think I'm gonna take it back to best buy since i have protection plan.
Does anyone have a dump of their system folder? I deleted loads of apps which is stopping me upgrading to JB

My device complains about a file called Vibe_CN.apk.
Does anyone have this file on WW .30 firmware and is able to upload it somewhere?
I'm pretty sure I haven't fiddled with this file, but according to the log below, it doesn't match the expected hash...

Can you manually install an update on a transformer from the dlpkgfile? I'm on 8.6.5.6 and want to update manually to 8.6.5.9. I have the .0 dlpkgfile and if I add a .zip extension to it, I can see files. I already failed once at the auto FOTA because I was rooted then. Now I'm stock and the FOTA notification won't work even if I force a "check system firmware update".
What is the .0 dlpkgfile? .9 typo?
Usually, you change the name to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip and put it into the root directory of your sdcard. Windows might bork the name and add an extra .zip, so check it on your tablet before flashing it. Then boot into recovery and watch the magic.
I've had mixed luck flashing OTAs on systems that were reverted to stock. It might be operator error.
Not sure what the .0 bit is, but the OTAs are specific for going from one rom version to another. In otherwords, the recent OTA won't go from 8.2.3.9 to 8.6.5.9 since the patches are for 8.6.5.6.
I tried to update my 1.53.401.2 to the latest OTA 1.78.401.2.
But with the normal Android OTA method, it gives me an error that it can't find the 7digital3.0.apk file. Of course it can't find it. I deleted it. But I didn't make a backup of it before deleting it
So I tried to copy the OTA zip to the "internal SD card", rename it to update.zip and flash it with CWM Recovery. This also doesn't work. It tells me, that I have a wrong CID (HTC__102).
Could anyone be so kind to upload the 7digital3.0.apk (and .odex) from the 1.53 rom?
Thanks!
Here you go mate, extract it and you will find the files you need...
If the OTA doesnt work, and flashing in recovery fails, open the .zip and modify the android-info.txt to match your CID..
if you dont know your CID, boot into fastboot and using adb type in ''fastboot getvar cid'' Without quotes
There should be an option to have the updater just skip whatever it can't find or which throws up inconsistencies with the DIFF updating...

I just did that now... Modifying the update script and skip updating the pre-installed apps that i deleted. ReZipped, signed, put on sd card, install from cwm recovery.
EDIT: Everything works except the SystemUi.apk... I had the 1% battery mod.
EDIT2: I reinstalled the correct SystemUI.apk by flashing the stock battery SystemUI.apk for 1.78, but since it crashed the first time, it won't start anymore at boot... Anyone knows how to fix that?
same problem, other apk...

thank you!!!
I posted this in the "General" forum and didn't get any response, so I thought I would post it here. I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this.I figured may Moscow Desire, Vorbeth, or someone else may have a suggestion. Thanks in advance for your assistance!
"I have my tab rooted and bootloader unlocked. I used OTA Rootkeeper to temporarily unroot. The OTA update downloaded and attempted to install but failed. I downloaded the update again and saved it to my extra SD card. I then used CWM recovery to attempt installation again. Failed again. I am thinking that maybe the unlocked bootloader or CWM is causing the failure. Anybody have any ideas or input? Thanks!"
delete the first line in updater-script and it should work
if not than it´s possible that your not on the right version or you have to remove all check line´s and install then
please upload and post the update here for other users which are not able to download it. thx
How do you save the update to the external SD? I only get the option to download, and the file seems quite hidden from me.
Where is the OTA update stored at- read this to find out

You can save the download by choosing the "Later" option when prompted to install. Then you can go to the root directory of the device to the \cache\fota_dn directory and the update will be there. From there you can copy it and save it elsewhere on your eternal-SD card of wherever. if you choose to "Install now" option, and the update fails, the OTA update is not left in the \cache directory.
I always choose to "Install later" so I can keep a copy of the OTA update. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the reply, but I think this is a little beyond my skillset level and I don't want to mess something up! I'm not sure how I cna upload the OTA update to this forum, but if you tell me, I will be glad to do it!
http://www14.zippyshare.com/v/40506917/file.html
That's the original OTA file. I'm not comfortable editing anything.
Thanks, bidniss for letting me know how to catch those OTA files.
EDIT:
Okay, I edited my updater-script (not the file above) and tried to install from CWM. Failed at "apply_patch_check("/system/app/LinkToFacebook.odex".)" with a big string of numerals and letters. I assume mine failed because I have deleted the Facebook link. Will try to restore it on my system and attempt update again.
Recovered my app backups and tried to install update again. This time it failed at "apply_patch_check("/system/lib/modules/bcmdhd.ko" ...). No clue what that is, but after a quick search I found it has to do with wifi? and is in the kernel..Which I'm running the modified version of....So...Dang.
Screw it..Figured while I was already tinkering I might as well just install CM10. It's pretty sweet, by the way.
i will download it and remove all the checks, than you can try again, so i did it some time ago

change to the one in your zip an it should run through!!! but MAKE A NANDROID BEFORE.
if your on the wrong version it MAY be you screw up your sys because it looks like the file checks didn´t match.
did you do any patch before the OTA Update?

No patches. I am on the OTA JB version Acer_AV051_A700_RV09RC08_PA_CUS1 Build number: Acer_AV051_A700_1.034.00_PA_CUS1
My tablet has an unlocked bootloader and is rooted. The update fails. I am turning off the root with OTA Rootkeeper. I get a message that says, "failed to verify whole-file signature"
"signature verification failed"
"assert failed: getprop("ro.product.name")=="a700_pa_cus1"
"Error in /cache/acer_ug/update.zip"
I am using CWM v6.0.1.5 to install the update.
Does this shed any light that may help?- Thanks!
"assert failed: getprop("ro.product.name")=="a700_pa_cus1"
this is first line in updater, if you remove, this error shoul not aplly again
if other check errors apear then you have to remove all of the checks, like i did in the updater-script, which i added in my post.
else try to disable verification check in CWM
and also look here and try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810687

Thanks for the info! My update.zip is on my Windows 8 PC and I may have to move it to my Win 7 PC because winzip is not allowing me to extract the files so I can "copy & paste" the updater-script file you posted. If there is a simpler way to do it, please let me know and thanks again!
use 7zip or winrar, open the zip und C&P the file into it
or long way, extract all , do modify and then repack all files an folders INSIDE the extractet/modified folder, NOT the folder AND it´s content
your also able the open inside the winrar window the script and change it with Notepad++
EDIT::
aaaaah wait:
if your not able to open it, you have to decrypt it with acer decrypter first, then it´s an "real" zip
search hier im Forum danach

I've moved this back to general, that's where it belongs. Development is strictly for ROM's, mods and kernels only.
I managed to get to the stock recovery back from cwm.....thanx to @eoh7678
But now I want to get access to the recovery "menu". I get into the recovery and end up at the android logo with a " ! "
I tried some key combinations but didn't help.
Please help me, thanks
The stock recovery does not have a menu. The only thing it can do is flash a stock firmware file loaded to the root of your internal storage (or external after renaming it). So what you are seeing is perfectly normal.
What are you trying to accomplish and how?

Actually I want to update it from stock 4.2.1 to 4.2.2. I have downloaded the update file from asus website but I don't know how to update it now. Can you please explain me properly? I have copied the update file in /cache. I made a file named command in /cache/recovery
and in that file I inserted "--update_package=/cache/<the update filename> .zip " and saved the file and then booted into recovery.
Nothing happened, the device did not update.
And then I again booted into the OS and found that the "command" file no longer existed! I have tried this 3 times.

The file you downloaded is called something like bla_bla_UPDATELAUNCHER.zip.
Extraxt that zip once and you end up with another zip: bla_bla_user.zip
Take the user.zip and put it into the root level of internal storage. NOT into any folder, just alongside your Downloads, Pictures folders etc., so into /sdcard/
The system should automatically recognize the file and give you a notification. If it doesn't, reboot.
If still nothing happens you either have an incorrect file or read this:

I did it earlier, have to be rooted to see the file that's downloaded. If you're using a root explorer search for "dlpkgfile" that's the name of the newest OTA at least, I made a copy on my SD card so I could keep putting it in the right dir and avoid downloading it all over again. Since I tried all my options i'm back to unrooted, still can't upgrade from g to o.
I don't remember the exact directory, somewhere in /etc/ if I recall.

I'm having the same issue with upgrading 10G. maybe there is a way in the ota Package
EDIT:
I found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699123 to force an update using the dlpkgfile from ota. I wonder if it could work for G4 also??
@TheJokah @ajent. Don't need to be rooted. Root Browser will be able to view the directory without root permissions. (I use it all the time to browse system partitions and files on unrooted devices). You can do a lot with Root Browser without root. You just can't make changes.
When the fota is available you will find it in /cache/fota
I have captured several OTAs for various devices this way...
EDIT: Make sure to copy the file after it downloads and before restart, otherwise the file will be deleted before you get it.
That is good info, thanks.
I'm pretty convinced flashfire installing the xposed zip does something that isn't reverted when flashing the unrooted system image. I used my limited knowledge to look at that xposed zip and it seems like only modifications are made to /system so it should be removed when flashing back unrooted image. I really don't know, but hope somebody can figure it out lol.
