I seem to have run into a strange firmware update loop. A couple of days ago my tablet received ota to update camera firmware. I accepted the update and it automatically installed however everytime I reboot, I receive the ota again telling me to update the camera firmware. How do I get rid of this? I have disabled dmclient and cmclient as I've read those are linked to asus ota but the update still shows up.
I am running blue android. Any help or insight would be much appreciated as it is very annoying.
Cheers

Hi everyone!
2 days ago the 3.2 update dutifully popped up on my device. Clapping my hands like a chuffed schoolgirl, I started the update. All seemed to go swimmingly, but on completion and after a reboot I was told the update had failed, and my system had been reverted back to previous state.
Several factory wipes and recovery mode wipes later, and reinstallation to 8.4.4.5 and 8.4.4.11 a few times and I now no longer get ANY updates. I am on 8.4.4.11-WW edition currently which appears to be fine, but not updating. I even tried rooting then undoing the root and starting again - again no luck.
Anyone got any ideas? Other than waiting for Asus to put the new firmware file on their ftp server? Help please or suggestions. Thanks.
+1,
All is the same for me.
Same problem, send technical inquiry to asus, this is the reply:
Dear Valued Customer,
The update should automatically download. If it does not auto down load after a week you can manually install.
From your TF101 you can also try going to Apps/Settings/About Tablet/Check Update, make sure to turn on WiFi and the device can access the internet.
If you continue to experience issues in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best Regards,
Vivian

From my experience, once you download the update, it seems you are automatically flagged as having got the update. Reverting to a previous built or in your case, even if the update didnt apply, you wont get the ota again.

Exactly the same experience. Support is useless. Guess we have to wait until asus puts 3.2 on their support site.
I have the same problem my devise has i popup that appers twice a day saying...update failed. try again later.... but clicking on the update button in settings does nothing. Guess we will have to wait for the homepage release.

Me too, it seems (1 tablet with 1 version) is flagged :
I've got one OTA with 8.4.4.5 (failed), and another with 8.4.4.11 (destructed myself).
Now I'm waiting OTA..... nothing.

Hi All,
Newbe with a Asus TF101 and I have to say it's been an adventure !
Originally I found a posting how to root my tablet and it worked great until an update notice appeared and locked up my system. After much panic stricken hunting around I found this site and was able to update the tablet to ICS 4.0.3 which is even better then before and runs great.
Now another update notice is appearing again......
[Q] How can I check that this update is ok to use or since I've installed a custom ROM I won't be able to use any of these updates from Asus ?
thanks,
Don't update if you have CWM or custom roms installed( root is fine in most cases). If you do want to update, return your tf to stock first.
Thanks for the reply.....
I was thinking that given my last update experience. Is there a way to turn off the update notices so I don't accidentally update ?
Stop DM Client running in the settings menu. That'll stop your notifications, at least until you reboot and then you'll have to stop it again. You might be able to freeze it using Titanium but I haven't tried it so I can't confirm it won't cause any problems.

Nexus S i9020A , completely stock, running 4.0.4
Got an OTA update the other day, went through the update, no errors, rebooted, still 4.0.4 ????
System Update shows my phone is currently up to date
It looks like the OTA update failed, but I'm not sure why or how to determine why.
Any help would be appreciated... again, my phone is stock, no custom rom, non-rooted ...

It is not necessary to flash in order to get the OTA update again. Instructions to force another OTA update are here (basically: clear data on the Google Service Framework app, this resets the time the phone last checked for an update).
However, I'm facing the same problem and even after re-downloading the 4.1 update on my stock Nexus S, the update still fails. The phone reboots and starts to install the update then shows the dead droid with red exclamation before rebooting to 4.0.4.
I've seen other suggestions to get the device back to stock so I guess that's my next course of action (and likely yours).
Are these instructions appropriate? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785672
I9020A needs two OTA's to get jellybean. The first OTA will make you keep 4.0.4 but will update your bootloader. This first ota, the one I think you got, is about 1MB in size. You will soon get another OTA, this one will bring you to jellybean.

That is what appears to have happened. I was just confused regarding this and assumed my previous update was to 4.1.
I tried several times to "checkin" and eventually I got the update to 4.1.1 which, unlike the update I did a few days ago,
took longer ( about 10minutes ) to update. I now have 4.1.1 JRO03E , very snappy
Thanks !
No problem, man! Us I9020A's gotta stick together!

First things first, I was running UEBLG5 firmware last week and noticed there's the new UEBLH1 update in kies, few days later there was the UEBLH2. I never received any OTA updates to neither, I keep on checking and it says no updates available, is there something wrong?
PS : I received the UEBLG5 firmware using OTA like months ago.
My other problem is, app updates with play store : Today I was checking angry birds' page on googe play (not the all apps page) then found 2 buttons : update and uninstall, going back the all apps page to check, there wasn't any update notifications. This also happened with cut the rope even thought I have auto updates on. (Last time I got notified about an update was for samsung's built in apps)
Thanks.
If your dying for the update, download it and flash it with odin.
The other problem is weird, If you try to update it manually, does it work ?

I received the update via kies, but it says device not responding so I gave up and downloaded the OTA package from samfirmware and flashed it in recovery.
And yes, after the manual update in kies the app works
I received my Infinity this week, and am trying to do the OTA update to get Jellybean on it. I went into Settings....About Tablet....Check update. It did find an update earlier, downloaded, and attempted to install it. It deemed to be working because i got a message about Flash not working on Jellybean, but then it did the File Integrity check, and it told me it had failed. It then restored it back to the current version of ICS.
Since then I have tried to get it to reinstall, but every time time i check for updates, it tells me there is no update currently available for my device....does anyone know how to get this OTA update to install?
Thank you in advance for your help.
