[Q] How can I force an OTA update?

Just got a replacement device and accidentally cancelled the update. Now when I check it says im up to date

Did you already try settings, about tablet, system update?

you can force it by heading over to the dev section, rooting your transformer and flashing prime v1.1 so you don't brick your device.
Asus pulled the update due to devices getting bricked.

DONT update.
Some are getting bricked and there is a forum post waiting for further recommendations.

Im on hols at the moment, away from my PC but will definitely root when in back home.
Just needed to get rid of some of the lag there's at least one FOTA available for this device.

This. I'm not sure if there has been any confirmation, but i'm pretty sure myself and a couple of others finally got them to pull the update.

You're all great warning me off updating
But is there an actual answer to my question?

The answer is exactly what A Naked Emo said, but the firmware has been pulled from the update server, so until they put out a fix you will have to wait, and technically you have the latest version available at this time.

A few hours after I connected to WiFi for the first time My transformer told me there was an update ready to install. I accidentally cancelled the notification. In stuck with the laggy Spanish text version
I guess ill have to be patient. Although its a long weekend with it in this state

How many tf700 have actually got the 401 update

Hello I have been reading that the 4.1 Jellybean update is out for Asus Infinity but i cant seem to find it on Asus website or doing a check for update on my settings has anyone on the Infinity Tablet got the update yet.

So far it's just rumors and speculation at this point. There is no evidence from anyone that they've actually been updated to 4.1 at all.

It's not out yet. Conjecture from a few 3rd rate news sources.

Everyone at this point should have the 4.0.1 update, as it's just an improvement to 4.0. The 4.1 update though hasn't actually rolled out yet though for thee TF700. 4.1 is Jellybean, and should be here within the next week.

I don't know about shipped. I just got mine from Best Buy earlier this week, and it booted up with 4.0.1, admittedly it asked me to update almost immediately after connecting the wireless.....

Mine came with 4.01 and immediately upgraded to 4.03 after the first boot up.

i got an OTA update this morning

Hi. A firmware update came through this morning. I'm already at .26. Could this be JB? I haven't installed it yet cause someone mentioned after install you can't copy file for sharing. Can someone tell me how? If this is it, i want to post.

Nope not JB... Its .30 of ICS mainly to fix the 64gb class 10 to be recognized by the tablet... and maybe a few others.... but not JB. Plus there is a thread all about this update.

does it bust root? If so, does the debugfs method still work?

of course it does. Use rootkeeper then install the OTA. It's unknown if the debugfs still works, thus rootkeeper

Dont have to temp unroot. I downloaded the .30 file, unzipped it, moved to internal SD
then booted into TWRP, as I am unlocked and rooted, installed file.
Rebooted, ran rootdebugFS and done!:good:

As a UK user, is there a .30 download for WW? I can't find it.

Nothing for WW yet and ASUS have recently pulled all the other .30 updates from their website.

Well they're back up then as they were pulled earlier, it was mentioned by a number of people in the other thread.

ive been checkin every 2 hours and theyve been up there since when they were posted, unless they were pulled during the night

LOL well its not like all of us had the same hallucination, unless we all drank the same Koolaide at 3AM or something, they were definitely down, there are numerous posts about them being down in a couple of the threads and people hypothesising why they were down.
Good to see they are back up but still no WW version

Not yet, the WW release was never available, the other 4 were, but only for a short while.
I, too, am still waiting for the WW OTA. I wish Asus would inform us better.

Because most have been looking here.
Clearly the support sites have not mirrored/synched correctly yet. There's more than one ip in the dns entry. I had noticed that already yesterday, when page refreshes would show the one with or the one without the updates.

Weird. When I use that link it shows the 4 new files. But when I select OS to "Other" and back to "Android" it refreshes and the 4 files go missing.
edit: beh, i should've refreshed and saw xcal321's post

Jelly Bean -Early October

Hey guys,
Just wanted to give you all an update on the jelly bean upgrade for our devices.
I contacted Asus about Jelly Bean on our Tf700's; here is their response.
Dear valued customer
Thank you for contacting ASUS Technical Service
Hi,I have asked the superior that the JB of your unit will be released in early October any you can download it manually from the website or it will update automatically.

That doesn't seem like it was written by someone who speaks English. What does "I have asked the superior that the JB of your unit will be released in early October" mean?

It's Asus support, I am surprised that they can speak any English.

Since ASUS is a Taiwanese company and since the bulk of their development and support is non-US based that makes it sound much more likely to be authentic to me. If it was perfect English it'd probably be BS unless it came from Gary (their local US support person who occasionally posts on XDA).
Nothing wrong with not speaking English natively. And it's really not that hard to interpret that he's trying to say the target for JB is early October.

October... Did this year?

What would it be useful to prepare and deploy the .30 ICS version if they are doing the same for Jelly Bean 10 days later ? I don't believe it's true and if it appears i'm wrong (i hope so) then i just don't understand Asus organization.

I think someone mentioned in another thread that the bootloader was updated in .30, possibly in preparation for JB.

If you consider that it changed the bootloader, the .30 update could be considered an important precursor to the JB update. I actually took the .30 update as a sign that the JB countdown for the Infinity has started (i.e. 1st phase of the release plan).

I certainly hope so!

But then why not just include the new bootloader directly in the JB release? Why would they need to release the bootloader in ICS first? I mean if I upgraded directly from .26 to JB, then they must still include the new bootloader in JB anyway, right?
I tend to agree that I don't see the point in putting work into and releasing an ICS update if JB is literally going to be released in the next two or three weeks...

I've come from a Motorola Xoom which got updated to JB just before I sold it to fund the purchase of my new Infinity. A few weeks before the BIG update there was a smaller one which updated the bootloader and a few other things. The subsequent transition was therefore smoother although a fairly large download - there were new GAPPS to consider! The result was a machine that went from great to wonderful to amazing.
I guess the .30 update, which I believe has taken the Infinity from good to better , may eventually lead us to the amazing tablet we were led to believe we had purchased!

Exactly. Since JB will include a kernel update, it makes sense to me to separate the bootloader update from the kernel update. Time, size and risk mitigation. This is why I think that it is part of the larger release plan.

Well your comment "the new bootloader of .30 firmware is a prerequisite for the JB kernel" seems to me to be a fine and logic reason for that ICS update before the JB update. It's nearly convincing me that you're right and that i was wrong in my previous post.
Time will say ....

[Q] TF300T on Andoid 4.2 ??

Hello Everyone,
I had just purchased a Asus Tf300T with Android 4.1 from factory. I want to know if it is possible to have Android 4.2 on it, most for the multiuser feature.
Thanks and regards,
Javier.

Hello

JB comes out, the bug is appeared
it starts only the corrected ..
So not for 4.2 yet

I don't know what this thread is currently talking about, but 4.2 won't be officially released by Asus for some time. If you are unlocked, you could install a custom rom to get 4.2 sooner, but as of now there aren't any yet. I would give it a week or two before some start popping up.

Did Asus post something about 4.2?
