"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

This is the official froyo rom released by HTC on 1/8/2010. I have removed some apps which I never use, see the changes. And it is rooted of course
Changes
- Removed AppSharing
- Removed stocks
- Removed teeter
- Removed flickr
- Removed footprints
- Removed car panel
- Removed quickoffice
- Removed voice search
Download
You will also need the latest radio update which you can download here.
Restoring apps
Here is a little guide to restore apps which I removed:
1. Download "RemovedApps.rar", I attached it.
1. Find the .apk and .odex file of the app and extract them from the rar.
2. Download this ROM and open it with WinRAR, go to /system/app and add the .apk and .odex files you just extracted. Close WinRAR and it should be fine.
Removing other apps
If you want to remove other apps yourself you can also just open the ROM with WinRAR and go to /system/app and delete the .apk and .odex file.
Thanks for the effort!
Downloading.
Looks nice..
Could you drop a guide to remove more apps like Gmail and all the other google appz and still have Sense.
Well this is interesting, gonna try this one

If you want to unroot and install a rom that will bring up the ota update as normal do this
Download this rom:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Brav...984_signed.zip
change the name to PB99IMG and put it on your gold card, boot into recovery and select fastboot, it will install the generic 1.21 rom, then when you check for updates the froyo update will be there, btw doing this wipes everything on your phone. Worked for me although I didn't install the froyo update as I am scared of the bootloader.
Hello
Same problem with HtcFootprints
Thanks for your help, i let find how to use ClockwordMod recovery
Regards!

Yeah, update to the latest firmware. It should work after that.
Try OTA Root Keeper (it might save your root so you don't have to root again).
IF not just update, run ViperMod again and install RecoveryInstaller
I can not flash the update. I put the Update on the SD, the system dedects also the update but after the restart the update breaks and the system restart again.
I desperate slowly
Did you extract the file you download to get to the zip file inside? You also have to rename that extracted file. I cant recall exactly what it need to be rename to but I'll check soon as i get near a PC

"EP101_SDUPDATE.zip" i think this is what you have to rename the file
edit: Tips from Baseballfanz For those not able to get it working, a few things to check.
1-Make sure you actually extract the WW_epad-user-8.6.x.x.zip within the zip. Inside the file you download is an Asus folder, inside that is an Update folder, inside that is the WW_epad-user-8.6.x.x.zip file you'll be working with.
2-When renaming, if your PC is set to "hide known extension", you'll not see the .zip so if you type in .zip you'll get filename.zip.zip The file manager on the TF should show you the extension
3-Make sure it's on the root of the sd card and not within any folder.
4-Check spelling of files WW_epad-user-8.6.x.x.zip EP101_SDUPATED.zip
5-Micro sd card is in FAT32 format. Try a different card or format again (after saving your stuffs)
6-File manager on the TF sdcard is internal and Removable/MicroSD is the external sd card.
THESE ARE TIPS FROM BASEBALLFANZ POST SOMEWHERE ELSE ONLY I X'ED OUT THE FIRMWARE NUMBER TO DENOTE THE NEWEST FIRMWARE.... HOPE YOU DNT MIND
Thank you very mutch for your help. I have the last update installed 8.6.6.23 but i can this not rooted. ViperMod no longer works.

Did you check the MD5 of the zip on the phone or just the PC ?
Edit: as a side note which 3.0 version are you coming from ? If it's earlier than 3.1.0b6 you'll need to superwipe.
I did not check md5 of file on pc, shall try and if that fails, recopy... Ty again etc beforevformat sdcard and trying yet again.
I figured I'd need to super wipe, but as another aside, the virtuous documentation quite clearly (and incorrectly) says no wipe needed for releases with the same major number.
Thx goi-n-dal - the md5 of the copied file was indeed out. Recopied it from osx terminal and md5 checked out ... FWIW copying this file in osx itself (non terminal) would not give me a corret md5 - only when I copied it through shell did it work....
Anyway, then superwipe and flash. Away!
Now that its flashed.. im noticing slow slow gps lock... hmm
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...

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

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 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
