so ya.. topic says it pretty much..
bunch of us i see on the other threads are rooted had a failure and would like to attempt again, but nobody saved the ww update patch so we need to re download it..
dmclient and cmclient have been force stopped and wiped clean
/data/ files associated with updating have been removed..
rebooted and nope no new update available..
what are we missing here?
I am afraid we may have to try a factory reset although I am holding out for a better alternative.
EDIT: Do not factory reset if you are rooted! On JB factory reset will delete root.

How to restart failed 4.2.1 OTA(root required)
OTA file is here: http://www.mediafire.com/?3f13caikjfxoxpv
Copy dlpkgfile_4.2.1_Init to /cache, renaming it to dlpkgfile. Make a file in /cache/recovery named "command" with this in it:
Code:
--update_package=/cache/dlpkgfile
Boot into recovery by holding volume down and power button....then when you see text....hit the volume up button....and the update will go.
If the update fails, look at the logs in /cache/recovery to see what caused the failure.

I didn't post it but it worked on my US TF300T. I had a failed update because I had deleted CMClient.apk and CMClient.odex and after fixing this problem, the above method got me to 4.2.1.

It has been rolling out for the last two days, check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181235
We got the OTA for WW, but it failed and therefore are trying to get the OTA to reset.
So far there have been alot of issues trying to root after the 4.2.1 ota which I'm on now. Was thinking of rooting as I've done all my other devices in the passed and just recently got this one but as of now there's an issues with the new bootloader encrypting the file system so recoveries can't mount the system. I was about to root before read that and unlocked my bootloader but i guess my question is is there any way to reflash the stock bootloader to lock it again as i also read that you can lose future otas after unlocking it. Any help appreciated thanks.

Hi,
Is any app to block future OTA?
I'm leaving for two months, and take my tf as photos storage place.
We know ICS OTA is coming soon, I'd like to install update when back home in april.
As I remember previous OTA's it was possible to dismiss install of update, but only free times!
TF rooted.
Thank you for any ideas.

How about installing CWM? Shouldn't that prevent official updates from installing?
With titanium backup there is a system app that you have to freeze to disable ota's but i cant remember the name of it off the top of my head

OTA update uses stock recovery to flash the update. If you have cwm the update won't install. To install stock recovery, simply flash it via cwm. It takes a whole 10 seconds. Don't worry about it, its easy. Just enjoy your trip.

Hi!
I have the following method used several times for unrooting + removing CWM recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093403
There are two ways to get updated to the latest ROM. If you use the files on the first post of the thread, upon rebooting you will get an OTA update message (if yo don't you can check for updates manually ).
The other way is to navigate to asus support page, look for the TF101, select android as OS, and under firmware you will find the latest ROMs with the info needed about how to install them.
Once again I have used both methods. The first one is probably better because you need not to download anything, but both work.
Regards.
I got this message!!!Anyone else? Rooted ICS btw.
Save the file, it is in your cache.. then if it is the kernel update we can get it to thedevs to put into their custom ROM s

@luna_c666 I'm kind of noob with this stuff and saw your post too late so instead of downloading the file i rebooted into recovery to make a backup, and then after reboot it just disappeared then i've checked manually for update trough settings-> about tablet -> system firmware update , but no luck.
My TF is B60 if it's matters.
If it's an OTA update, it will probably still be in /cache. You can copy it from there, although I don't know if all file managers will see it.
However, you might have the stock firmware on your external sd card- I think that is what generates that message.

For some reason my old lady encrypted her TF300T. is there a way to decrypt the tablet.
It's my understanding that you have to do a factory reset wiping data to do that.

Curiously, outside of issues with bootloaders are there other downsides to encrypting?
I encrypted mine because it for personal and corporate use. Only small drawbacks I find is you have to login twice when booting, once to get past encryption and once at the lock screen, and boot time is a little slower than without it. Other than that, it seems to operate the same.

I am in the same situation as you. I use my TF300T for personal and business use. I use Touchdown for our corporate mail and I have all of the passwords set and approved by IT. However, up to now, they haven't required that the entire tablet be encrypted. Good to know about the slight drawbacks as I suspect that they will require encryption (I know they are looking into this - LOL)
My company didn't require it, but since we deal with high profile contracts, I didn't want to take any chances. Sorry it didn't work. That's what I read.

It's still fixable. If you use the search, you'll find 2 topics about recovering an encrypted tab.
I tested the encryption too. Two facts I realized:
1. It costs some performance (Antutu without encryption: 12430. With enryption 10353.)
2. Never try to root an encrypted Tab with the "one-click-method": Your password will not longer work and you will have to do a factory reset.
Are you sure about that last one? Because now I'm concerned. I can't remember which i did first, but my concern is what happens with the next ota update? I'm rooted and encrypted now. I'm wondering how I'll be if i backup root the need to reapply.

Ok let me ask another question... i do not have my bootloader unlocked. No interest in that. I'm running .30 stock. Is it possible to download the firmware from asus, put on an sdcard and do a complete reinstall that way? Perhaps that would get rid of the encryption.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
I've never used encryption, but I assumed there would be an option to unencrypt right where the encrypt option was. Is this not the case? If so, that's a major oversight.
No there is not, hence my questions, and you are in fact warned about that multiple times prior to executing it. I'm fine for now but still, would like to know how to get out of it if i want.

That was my assumption but keep in mind I said my bootloader is locked and I no intention of unlocking right now so my question is, in that state, can i download the same firmware version I'm on from asus, unzip it to root folder on an sdcard formatted to fat32 and use that to completely reinstall via the stock recovery... the power volume down thing? That would get rid of the encryption I'm sure.

if you reflash you should have a fresh system - since /system and /data will be overwritten. if you have cwm running you should be able to adb push it onto the sd card, if you get fastboot to work you can flash it via that -
I had to do it too via fastboot and it kinda was a PITA cause i didn't check xda - lol but in another thread i did share my steps what i did to get cwm and stock rom working again. though i dont recall what threat it was in the tf300 section

OK, need someone to tell me what I'm missing please.
Yesterday I was on stock .30 and rooted. This morning I took the JB update. My first boot was OK and I still had root, but when I rebooted, I got stuck in a loop. It kept rebooting after getting to the desktop. I assumed at least one of my apps was causing it, so I used the wipe data function with the power + vol down thing. that wiped everything, including root.
I tried to re-do the debugfs method, but that seems to fail. Strange thing is, if I use adb shell from the computer, I can su - root and get root access. That's how I was able to give read/write access to the data folder where debugfs does its' work. It's just that root check says I'm not rooted. Voodoo OTA has all boxes checked on my root check, except the one that says granted root permissions. The SU file does exist inside /system/xbin
So it's as if the tablet's user just doesn't have permission to do root. I loaded a terminal emulator on the tablet, and tried to su - root that way, and got permission denied. I would normally get the "superuser" popup when doing something like that -
So there's definitely a piece I'm missing. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Sorry, should have mentioned that I tried that. Attaching a screenshot as to what it looks like. Notice the center checkmark stating "root permission granted" is not checked, and there's no option to restore, only to remove or temp unroot, so it's like, everything is good, except for the actual root permission
Root checker shows red (no access) and root programs like root explorer do not prompt for superuser permission before running as I would expect them to the first time.
Did you run superuser? Did you reboot after running su for the first time?

OK, uninstalled superuser, and installed superSU as you suggested and rebooted the tablet for good measure.
Ran it, and it prompted me, saying su needed updating, said yes do it, came back to me "installation failed", which I honestly expected because for whatever reason, current tablet user cannot get to su, even though it appears permissions said it should.
One other note, earlier I tried to refollow these directions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704209
That is how I rooted when under build .30, no issues at all. This time I hit a snag when trying to push files to /data/local - said I had no permission. now I got around it via ADB by simply typing su - root....root seems to work when I'm in ADB, but it doesn't work via tablet interface. I don't know what I'm missing here....
Just a thought.. I was considering flashing back to .30 using fastboot but I wasn't sure if that would even work. I tried loading the .30 zip into the root of storage and it detected it, as a downgrade even and asked to proceed. When done I was still on 4.1.1 not the older build.
BTW, thank you for taking the time. I really don't mean to be a pain here. I've not had this much trouble before...

I was so amped to grab JB, that I spaced that the OTA update would break root (i'm rooted but locked bootloader, b/c i was hoping 4.1.1 would come sooner than later!)
I had OTA rootkeeper installed, and while I was a little skeptical as to how easily it would work, it was 1-click simple and I just had to reinstall/update the binaries and reboot. I had the same check mark unchecked, but it worked, was straightforward, etc. It sounds like something got jacked in the JB flash, and I wonder if a full wipe/reset (&downgrade) to 4.04, re-root, then OTA update (using ota rootkeeper to hold root) might work for you?

sorry, above my pay-grade at this point. I think i was overly optimistic about the "open-ness" of the device/bootloader (my other device is a galaxy nexus, so it's easy to do just about anything). I had a factory wipe or flash/img restore in my mind, but factory wipe wouldnt help (dont thinK), and If a stock 4.04 img exists, pretty sure there is a command set in fastboot that would let you restore using that image, but also pretty (99%) sure that requires an unlocked bootloader.
It sounds like there were a few changes in folder structure in JB that are limiting the root-ability, but my guess is the brainy folks around here will figure that out pretty quick, and JB will be root-able soon.

Yes it's the /data folder where the exploit was and is causing the issue. I saw one of the commands was flash all, but I was too scared to try that. I tried the update.zip approach, but it came back with needed files weren't present in the archive.

I had the same check mark unchecked, but it worked, was straightforward, etc. It sounds like something got jacked in the JB flash, and I wonder if a full wipe/reset (&downgrade) to 4.04, re-root, then OTA update (using ota rootkeeper to hold root) might work for you?

If you have a check mark unchecked, you likely have root issues. Which check box?

Sorry - imprecise language on my part.
When I opened up OTA rootkeeper, it showed the same unchecked box (in rootkeeper) as others have mentioned, but I had "restore root" as an option. I did, and had no problems keeping root after updating to JB 4.1.1. OTA. I was using superuser but had checked "OTA survival" in Superuser's options, so I think that's how i kept root (seems like this "survival" option is baked in to Super Su, but a (non-default) option in Superuser).
Just got an update for my TF700T today, Jelly Bean? IDK CAUSE IT FAILED.
I am rooted, can that be the cause? can we unroot? I've done OTAs on other devices while root and it just kills root.... Why would it fail?
After it rebooted it said update failed. Then when I tried again it said "There is no update available for your device currently." WTF.
Any help would be great, thanks!

Here's some info on the update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31631062
It's not JB.
Have you modded any files (build.prop) or removed any system apps? Those are the most common reasons why people have issues installing the OTA.
Here's a thread with people having trouble installing the OTA with a few tips in it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890631

Oh ok. I did change the wifi scan interval but I am a dumb ass and did not back up... can some one either upload a clean one or show what needs to be changed? I do believe that it was simply a line added.
thanks and too bad its not JB... cmon asus. :fingers-crossed:

You are just soft-bricked and should be easy to recover, just make sure you have a MicroSD card and then follow my How-To guide from General forum.
