[Q] can we update camera firmware with unlocked bootloader - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm new to this part of the forum, and I'm still trying to find my way.
I've read some threads but couldn't find the answer to my question, so I'm reaching for your help.
I've just flashed CleanRom and after reboot I got a popup asking to update the camera firmware.
So is it safe to do it with unlocked bootloader? Is the camera firmware rom dependent?
Thanks in advance.

Yes sir you can. Just make sure you flash the stock Asus kernel first though.

It already made the update when I rebooted..
my doubt still remains, is this file ROm dependent or in fact ASUS really pushed the firmware OTA ?

You'd have to ask SDbags for that. He might've included the option to receive updates thru OTA.

Device does not update through OTA

This doesn't seem like a common problem, but I found a few people who got this issue.
My TF700 have been on 4.0.1 and it does not upgrade to 4.1 JB even though it has been released for a week. I have then used the custom method to force update to 10.4.4.16 - JB. However, I know 4.4.18 just came out and I am afraid it still would not update OTA.
Anyone has a solution for this??

Have to try to go into settings->about tablet-> check for update?? I assumed that your device is locked/rooted with pure stock JB, no modification, no system app freezing?

Yup checking for update has nothing
Before I upgraded to 10.4.4.16 the device was totally stock, and it just does not update for the longest time.
Since I had updated to 10.4.4.16, I have then unlocked, rooted. No mod, no system app freeze.
Still no update notice for 10.4.4.18

Well there's your problem if you unlocked.
No automatic OTAs for unlocked tabs.

I didn't realized it was that and now I went back to read the All-In-One Guide For Asus Infinity thread detail; I do see that in the note. I am fine with doing manual updates but was just bothered the device doesn't function properly**
I guess now even the tablet will have to be manual updated OR eventually use custom rom :fingers-crossed:

Yup. Assuming you're into the stock experience and have the keyboard (thus appreciating the shortcut keys), CleanROM is eyeing you. Your 700 is behaving normally, so that's one problem out of the way.
When I come back to home, i saw that update is available. But I forgot temporary disabled root (ota root keeper). My device started update, but it stoped in bootloader (deat android with red triangle) My tf started without update, and now I can`t OTA (update is not available for you). Can I redownload update, and update soft one more time? How can I do this?

I had something kinda weird happen just now.
I originally unlocked and rooted the moment I got the tablet, and manually installed 10.4.4.16. Everything works great.
I just finished manually updating to 10.4.4.18 and after a reboot, it said I have a system update available, which was 10.4.4.16.....
[/doublerainbowvoice] Does this mean I still got an OTA even though I'm unlocked and rooted?

Yes, you will receive and be able to install the OTA (if you also have the stock recovery) but you will loose root though.
Thanks alot for your kind reply.

The Helpdesk thread must have been un-stickied in the last few days, because I saw you give this answer several times but had to go digging to find it myself.
There's conflicting information out there -- I've spent hours reading posts here but have had some places tell me that I *can't* get an OTA update when rooted, while some tell me that I *can*. I think the nuance is the problem. It sounds like OTA will work, but only if you haven't changed any system files, and also will wipe out your root and custom recovery. Still, I'd rather have to re-root than to manually update.
The best solution is the one that gets me from "rooted, stock version X" to "rooted, stock version X+1" in the least amount of time!

Good to know. So, I'm getting an N5 in the next week or two (shipped today, but has to be forwarded overseas by a relative ) and want it rooted, stock. Best bet is to OTA update (if it doesn't ship with 4.4.2) -> unlock bootloader -> install CWM -> install SuperSU? Then, next time Google issues an update, download the OTA ZIP and install it from CWM?
Won't that remove CWM and root, like I was saying? Or is there some version of the "stock image" I can download that doesn't overwrite recovery and/or the su binary/APK?
What you've said is correct, and then after an OTA just reflash CWM* and then re-root it - takes all of 30 seconds if you have the image on your computer
*CWM might give you the option of removing the stock recovery reflash script before rebooting, so say yes to it if it mentions it

No, it's not because the bootloader is unlocked.OTA are sent in "waves" so the servers won't get overwhelmed.So it's just a matter of time until you will gey it too.

Great ty what if phone was rooted would that stop OTA`s? Just curious im not rooted. Is the OTA suppose to be released with Gapps included do you know? There are an awful lot of people not being able to recieve gapps the right way. I hear location doesnt work and some other stuff but maybe thats a handful of people
I don't think the root prevent a device receiving the OTA,but it might cause the OTA installation to fail,so it's always best to disable root before updating.
I didn't used the OTA to update my device,so I can't say if there's any issue with it,but I know people that updated via OTA and it was all fine.
I have a rooted device with twrp recovery. Despite of what people think, I get this update. I just replace twrp recovery to stock and flash . This is amaze me. In general, my location also doesn't work also. There is solution?

Nope, that's because you have the US version of the Z5 dual and it has been specifically disabled. If you want to get the fingerprint sensor working you need to flash international firmware, or there are some threads that tell you what files you need to replace. Search and you should find what you're looking for.

Then you should be fine. It might not be working occasionally because there might be a bug in the firmware you're using. My only suggestion would be to make sure you're on the latest version of the firmware for your region, or try flashing firmware from another region. I'm using Customized UK firmware and I have no issues with the fingerprint sensor. Short of that the only other option would be a hardware failure, but it sounds more like a software bug.

It looks like you're a couple firmware versions behind; the latest firmware released for your phone is 32.2.A.5.11. Since you mentioned that your phone won't automatically update itself through the software update it sounds like you may have modified your phone in such a way (i.e., unlocking the bootloader, or modifying system files) that you might have to manually flash the firmware to your phone. There is a program called Flashtool that you can use to download and flash firmware to your phone. It's a great tool and something that you can learn to use after a few minutes of reading in the support thread.
If you've made any modifications to your phone, it would be helpful to know what those are understand why your phone won't update on its own. But most likely you'll have to use Flashtool to update your phone.
EDIT: In the future if you want to see what the latest version of firmware is for your phone you can use the XperiCheck website.

Did you write all your data when you flashed the new firmware with Flashtool? Maybe try flashing again, but make sure you wipe everything so you're starting with a clean phone. Set up the phone and make sure everything works, then flash a custom kernel.

Question Wifi and Hotspot Not Turning On

Hi,
I bought my phone three months back. Ever since the last update Version Name - WW18.0840.2106.86 my wifi and Hotspot just won't turn on.
I have been through the asus forum and seems like alot of customers are facing this issue.
One of them confirmed that even after replacing motherboard the issue persists. Others are facing air trigger issues after replacing the motherboard.
Just wanted to know if anyone here is facing similar issues.
DO let me know your thoughts on should I visit service center and Get my motherboard replaced or should I wait for the next update. My current Version Name - WW18.0840.2107.151
PS: My phone is not rooted
Thanks
I have not had these issues personally. I just updated to .151 last night though, so we shall see.
The general consensus is that the mobo needs to be replaced, and will most likely not get fixed with a software update. If it was correctable, a major issue like this would have forced a new FW update after .86 caused your initial problem.
You could always try flashing raw FW if you really want to tinker, but I doubt it will help. I would hit the service center and get the mobo replaced.
Good luck!

OTA files are the standard updates. There are a lot of how to guides that answer most of these questions, which may be why nobody is jumping up to walk you through it.
I wouldn't trust someone installing OTA files in TWRP because the system handles them already without any software. That is just asking for problems.

The link I posted earlier is included in that. Not sure why nothing showed up for it, but maybe you'll have better luck getting to it that way.
There's always a possibility it is a hardware issue. A lot of them have been SIM, Wifi, and Bluetooth issues. If you suspect a kernel issue, make sure you are following the instructions to restore. If you only flashed a boot, you didn't follow the instructions.
