1st. I don't think anyone knows.
2nd. There's always the chance of not getting one anytime soon
3rd. If there is any info on it it will sure be on the top threads in either "general" or the "development" section so you will not miss it.
4th. I WANT ME SOME 4.2.1 LOVE TOO!!!! ( I too have the TG and I don't want to flash the tf300t ROM for various reasons)

[Q] Differences between .30 US which was pulled, and new .30?

Does anyone know if there is a difference between the US .30 firmware that was pulled from the ASUS site earlier this week, and the one that is posted there now?
No I don't. If you are going to mark something as a question though, why not put it in the Q and A section...

I noticed that the firmware filename now contains the date, which is new. However, the date on the file in 9/7/12, so I believe it's the same as the original .30 version. I sure hope they wouldn't release a different ROM with the same version anyway!

I believe that even the ASUS firmware development team would have enough sense to bump the patch level number in the version string (i.e. .30 -> .31) if they had actually changed a publicly available release in any discernible way.
Maybe the US version was pulled from the site earlier this week, but it's clearly there now. Just checked.

It was more of a General question than a Question question, so I figured here would be appropriate.
Also, if you're not going to provide an informative answer, why would you respond?

We all do hope so
I guess one could simply compare CRCs...

They are the same for the current and "old" version.

How long until Asus firmware library gets JB?

How long does it normally take Asus to update their firmware library with new releases? In this case Jelly Bean.
Anyone have any personal experience refreshing the site after an update?
Thanks in advance!

I've seen it take anywhere between 2 and 10 days (approx)... The .30 firmware was posted in about 2 days if I recall correctly - and then removed, and then re-added again a few days later. So, you just never know.

Will Asus release a new unlock device app for unlocking the boot loader on JB?
Has anyone flashed this from Jelly Bean with CWM 6.0.1.4? I used this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1915079 but I wanted to get a clean install. Is it safe to simply flash normally via CWM from OTA JB? Using the zip just uploaded to ASUS' site?

Firmware 10.4.4.18

Is there a way to root on this firmware version? I've done the searching but I've only managed to find things that supposedly only work for ICS.

Because of security increases in JellyBean there will not likely be a root method found for a while. Best to root before updating and use rootkeeper.
Oh crap. Thank you.

Asus took it down very shortly after they had placed it online. No one knows why but it is assumed there was some bug/bugs in it that they didnt want to reach our tablets. Too late for a lot of us. But it's been made available by some members here. I'm sure someone will let you have the link to their copy if they read this post.
thank god im not crazy

I suspect ASUS has stopped the 4.2.1 OTA update as well. I recently replaced the motherboard of my tf700 and ASUS Service Center restored my tablet back to 4.1.1. Since then, no matter how I check, there is no OTA update to 4.2. Nevertheless, this actually makes me really happy, because I pleasantly realize that 4.1 is actually much faster than 4.2, UI is a lot more responsive, stock browser is faster, no app crashing as well. Furthermore, the recent app screen is back to the left edge of the screen, the way I always want it to be. ASUS can take all the time they need to fix 4.2 (if there are indeed problems with it), I'm happy with 4.1.1.

Depending what ASUS did, your serial numbers may no longer match in ASUS servers, which could be another reason as to why you are not receiving updates OTA. If this is true, then you will not be able to unlock either.

I was thinking about this possibility as well, but here is the tricky part: When I received my tablet back from ASUS Service Center, I specifically asked them whether my tablet could receive OTA updates, because when I sent it to them, it was on 4.2 instead of 4.1. After checking for quite some time, the technician said that he had checked ASUS Server and reassured me that my firmware was the latest that they had (he said that the 4.2 update did not exist in their internal server, even though he was aware of the update). Together with the fact that ASUS removed the 4.2 firmware from their website, I suspect that the OTA update is not available as well.
Obviously all of this is just my speculation, as it could simply be the case that ASUS screwed up my serial number (it is still the same though). Since there is no update currently available except for the 4.2 update (I'm on the latest firmware for 4.1), I have no way to check if the OTA update service is working properly.
Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
I just would like to know why they pulled it. Makes me nervous to install one of the ones from the links, if there is something wrong is there going back to 4.1? I know with my tf300 once you went to 4.2 there was no going back.

No it is fine, but there are issues the can sometimes break bluetooth, but it is easy to revert back to 4.1.1. I have those links posted elsewhere and people have used them with no trouble.

They have put the full 10.1.6.14.8 up now.

Update refresher

Sorry if this question is a little basic but my Transformer has been collecting dust for months and I've forgotten some of the rooting basics.
My bootloader is unlocked. I'm rooted and running CleanROM. My recovery is Team Win 2.2.2. I am on Android 4.1.1.
I would like to unroot and take any and all OTA upgrades and then move to the most up to date stock rooted rom.
Could really use a simple step by step run down on how to make that happen. Thanks in advance.
So I downloaded
ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T Firmware: V10.4.2.18 Only for US SKU (Android 4.1) - 2012.12.06 update
ASUS Transformer Pad Kernel Code for Android 4.1 JBOS (V10.4.2.18) - 2012.12.06 update
Can I just flash these from twrp2.2.2 to achieve my above stated goal?

The most recent version is actually V10.6.1.27.5, and you can flash that via fastboot. There is no need to flash a kernel after the stock ROM.
Got it all set! Ended up just flashing the firmware from the Asus site through twrp. Very happy now. Thanks.
