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"

[Q] Unlocking the bootloader on a new TF300T

Has anyone been able to unlock the bootloader on a new TF300T (serial no. starting with C9...) that shipped with JB already installed? I'm getting the "An unknown error occurs" message and wondering if it is the same for all the new TF300Ts.

Unlock
Did you use the unlock.apk from asus website?

Yes. I tried the Asus Unlock Utility V7 from the Asus Support website, but it gets an error and does not unlock. I think a lot of people are having similar problems, but I'm not sure. I'm wondering if it is related to the newer "C9..." range of serial numbers.

Mine starts with C9 and it worked for me.

Do you download the file with your tablet and then run it within the tablet?

Getting unlock error here also with Asus unlock app. Serial c9...anyone got Asus contact info?

Same problem here. Serial with C9 and I get the "Unknown error occurs..." thing. I've been trying every couple hours since I got it Monday (tried it on 10.4.2.9, 10.4.2.17, and now 10.4.2.18 that came out today) and same error every time. I've even wiped it a couple of different times to no avail.

It does not work on my tablet JB per loaded.
Just purchased from Best Buy, this is really a nice device.
Just ned to get it unlocked and rooted.

can you post / or email me the file you used? I have not been able to get the file i downloaded to work.

I'll PM you the link for the one I used. You'll have it shortly.
I had originally posted a download link for MediaFire that I had made but wasn't sure if the Mods would let it stay up so I removed it. Check your PM box, it's there. Hope it works for you.

So I called ASUS tech support about my bootloader unlock issue. Man, they are horrible. Totally unknowledgable and of no help. One guy thinks the apk is a driver and the tablet is a notebook. So I tried another tech support guy and he just puts me on hold for 20 mins to try to look for the apk on their website only to come back and tell me he can't find it.

Could you elaborate?
1) Where do you put the file? Internal SD? External SD? Exact Path?
2) How do you install? Boot into recovery and install?

It doesn't matter where you put it. APK files are (kinda) the android equivalent of a .exe on Windows. To install it, transfer it to your tablet somewhere you can find it, then open file manager, navigate to the apk file and open it. It should bring up the install dialog, (assuming you have unknown sources enabled) and install the app. Once installed open the app from the launcher or the drawer, go through the agreements and click the unlock button. It should work from there (it errors out at this point for me, but if it's going to work this is where the actual "Unlocking" will happen.)

At least you got people actually willing to help. When I called, The guy put me on hold for 3 min (after verifying EVERY single piece of information I filled out on the online form) then came back and told me the process voids my warranty (which I knew already) and said that this was primarily a "Warranty/support company" (his words not mine) and that they can't assist me in voiding my warranty. He was acting nice about it, but he acted as if the sole reason I was trying to do this was to void my warranty.

Thanks for grabbing that question Reffu.
I transferred it to my external SD and installed. The file is straight up apk so you don't need to be in recovery to install it. I just navigated to the SD with file manager, tapped on the apk and installed it.
You can transfer it to the internal too. It really doesn't matter where it's at. (Internal or external)
Edit:
I was connected to wifi when I unlocked my bootloader. Are you guys connected to wifi when you are trying to unlock? Don't know if it matters or not. Just saying.

I have contacted Asus as well. I sent mine in, already unlocked, because of a system board issue. It was an issue which came from the factory, but regardless, I unlocked it and voided the warranty, so I paid to have the board replaced and just got the unit back. Now I can't unlock either.
When I talked to a 'supervisor' I was told they would not help me with my issue because they do not support unlocking the device and will not tell you how to do it. I told him I KNOW HOW (dumbass), it's not working. Regardless, they wouldn't help at all. So now I have a repaired tablet which WENT OUT unlocked and came back without the ability to unlock. THANKS ASUS!!!
In all seriousness, Asus is renowned for having quality overclocking motherboards, vid cards, etc. to gain performance, yet they won't provide a tablet in the same manner, this is ridiculous.

Can this tablet be rooted without unlocking the bootloader? If so, is there a rom that use the stock kernel?
Just picked this tablet up and the version of JB install will not work with the Unlock apk.

As far as I'm aware, there is no root for Jelly Bean that doesn't require an unlocked bootloader, I've been looking and haven't found one yet .
Also, FYI even if you were rooted, you couldn't install a custom rom without an unlocked bootloader. Rooted means you have the ability to access system files and settings. Most (all?) custom roms are rooted, but at least on this tablet, you can't install a custom rom without an unlocked bootloader, even for those who managed to get root before Jelly Bean.

Okay, I spent some time this weekend looking for a root of build number 10.4.2.13 and was not able to find one.
Its looks like I am out of luck with unlocking the boot loader or rooting this tablet.
I will continue my research or return the tablet to BB.

[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.

possible new way to install firmware

Im sorry if this has already been brought up, but if you go to settings, about this device, and then tap the "pad ec version" (several times very quickly) it gives options for updating firmware and asks for a path to the new firmware. It also will work with the "android version", it brings up a picture of the version and says what it is. I hope this helps someone...

Cool didn`t know this. have you tried flashing a costum rom with it?

Unfortunately i don't know what to do with it. I think that maybe it could be used to install updates for custom roms after root. Like I said i hope someone can make use of it

Checked it out not sure what can do with it either. It has three options you can select. Pad ec, camera isp, and dock isp. Then lets you select a file path but it doesn't just recognize any zip tried to guide it to one eg. The su v1.25 update zip. It didn't see it. Might need a rename or actually be some type of update but not sure eithe.

Also not sure if this was mentioned but if you tap android version repeatedly fast a picture of jelly bean and os version come up and swype across it a couple time it turns into a bunch of floating jelly beans like some type of game that can swype away. Seems useless but noticed that too.

This is known, but I haven't heard anyone say "I've used it for this or that and it worked great" - I believe this find is for updating the touchscreen firmware, dock firmware, and camera firmware.

[Q] Recovery error

Hey sorry i am new to the forums not new to rooting phones but i guess a tablet is all new ballgame i just received the asus transformer tf700t on ebay and tried to root it and it wont root as after i click into RCK it goes to installing system upate and then the red triangle android guy shows up saying error (i guess i cannot recovery mode the device either)
ok i was able to root my device but i am unable to install custom roms as my recovery boot im assuming is corrupt
Please note as i received it this way

Try this:
Boot Loop/No Boot Version (Can also be used to downgrade but always backup all apps and data.)
1. Download the latest version of Android for your tablet. Make sure you download the correct SKU version.
A. To find the SKU, go into settings, About tablet, and look for your Build Number, There are two letters (such as US,WW, TW, etc.) that is your SKU. When downloading the zip from ASUS', you must download the correct SKU zip.
2. Decompress downloaded .zip file (it will be another .zip)
3. Rename it to:
A. For the TF700: EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip
4. Make sure your MicroSD card is formatted Fat32. It must be Fat32 Format or it will not work.
5. Copy the file to (the root directory of) your MicroSD
6. Insert the MicroSD into the tablet
7. Shutdown (power off) the tablet
8. Power it on by pressing and holding VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons simultaneously
9. When you see white text in the top left corner of the screen, release the buttons ^^ and press VOLUME UP button (on RCK, this is your recovery which should already be selected) until you see Android logo and process bar
10. Give the update process 5-10 minutes. It should not take longer than that. If it happens to run for more than 45 minutes to an hour, force shut down the tablet and see if it boots. If it does not, try rerunning steps 7-9.
ASUS - Tablet & Mobile
The zips are under Tablet(your model), Downloads/Support. then under Android.
Also, they removed the 4.2.1 zips from their website. Here are Mirrors.
TF700 Zips (10.6.1.14.4)
Stock 4.2.1 US
Stock 4.2.1 US Mirror
Stock 4.2.1 WW
Stock 4.2.1 WW Mirror
Stock 4.2.1 TW
Stock 4.2.1 TW Mirror
I'll explain what your seeing a little bit more. The android guy on your back IS the stock recovery, it is not an interface. 10.6.1.14.4 is your your android version. 4.2.1 is the base, 10.6.1.14.4 is the package that ASUS creates and names it, so nothing is incorrect. Just try this method and it should get the tablet up and running.

Error how? The android guy laying of his back? That is not an error. The stock recovery has NO interface, so you CANNOT go INTO the stock recovery. All the stock recovery can do is update if you have a ROM on your sdcard.

A common error is to download the file and rename it without extracting it first. Its a zip in a zip. The one inside is the one you need to rename, not the one you downloaded.
The other common error is not having FAT32 format for your MicroSD card, which is the Removable one, not the internal sdcard. When you get a MicroSD card out of the box, the standard format is exFAT which does not work for recovery (flashing ROMs or firmware).
The dead android means that your recovery cannot find the update.zip file in the root directory of your MicroSD card.

Looks to be he installed a custom recovery. However in the OP, he never mentioned of being unlocked. I thought he was fully stock, so it is an entirely different situation. So my answer to him was for people who were purely stock.

Gotcha. But he did mention in the OP that he was trying to install a custom rom, and that can only be done if unlocked. But it also looks like he added that statement as an edit after the OP. Weather or not he knew that is unclear. Makes it hard to help someone when you only get partial info from the user about their problem I agree.
