Updating

Hello, I wanna ask you, can I update?
1. I am unlocked
2. I am not rooted
3. I am on 4.0.3 official firmware
I bought my tablet with unlocked bootloader. So, I want to ask, can I update my tablet with downloading official firmware and placing it in my sd card? If yes, so I could upgrade directly to 4.2 or I should update to 4.1.2, then to 4.2? Thanks for answers!

BEFORE YOU UPDATE, consider doing NVflash. You won't be able to do that after you update your bootloader. Otherwise, i would suggest updating to 4.1.2, then 4.2.

[Q] Any problems with Manual Update?

Looking to apply the latest update manually. On stock (10.4.4.25), rooted, and unlocked. Anyone run into any problems with this setup?

Depends on Bootloader & Recovery. Make sure to read the threads

Sorry, forgot to mention my TWRP is up to date, and my bootloader is stock bootloader as of last update.
Just about everything I've read has to do with OTAs, and there isn't much clear about manual updates, thus any positive experiences or more information on the manual update experiences is welcome.

Go to sbdags stock 4.2.1 thread, flash the 4.2.1 boot loader and TWRP 2.5 zip, then flash the 4.2.1 stock rooted and you should be good. You must be on AT LEAST TWRP 2.4.4.

The RAM widget shows less RAM usage, which can't be bad.

Minus at least 100 from the system app, it would be more accurate. ATM I am only using 365 out of 970 on Tickerster Mod which shows the accurate amount of RAM usage.

Installing Photosphere

hi all. found this while aimlessly browsing. gonna try it after I have my coffee.

I was hoping I could get it working. camera and gallery were, but Photosphere fc's after first shot.
think I'll put it on back burner for now until it's worked on more.
do you have any ideas?
I found a link for Facebook Home I'm gonna work on next.
I've also heard that the new Wi-Fi optimization setting in JB 4.2 and your wonderful new Xenogenesis adjusts Wi-Fi radio power. if that's so, then maybe adjusting Wi-Fi tx power might work now. think I'll work on that too.

I think photosphere requires specific hardware that Asus just don't have.

ok. I thought we had necessary hardware.

Out of curiosity, what kind of hardware do the Nexus gadgets have that the Transformer doesn't that prevents us from installing Photosphere? Pixie dust dispenser?

It's working, just tested. We have the option to keep both the new camera (photosphere) and the old one (original camera).

Agreed. I flashed the zip and it is working for me . Runs smoother than the stock camera app . Maybe it could possibly be an option for Cromi?

What did you use? I used a zip file that you flash in TWRP. I cut the two stock out and pasted it in sdcard as backup, and then booted to recovery and flashed the zip.

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.

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.

[Q] TF300T with all current OTA updates - couple questions before unlocking

I'm on the brink of unlocking the bootloader on my TF300T (shipped with ICS; got it December 2012), but wanted to verify a couple things before taking the plunge.
I understand that OTA updates from Asus will no longer work. I also see that Asus has all their firmware updates available for direct download from their website - aside from losing root, are there any reasons why I can't use those manual updaters?
I read the "don't install CM10 yet on the 4.2 bootloader" sticky, so I'm not even going to try CM10 yet (although I saw an unofficial CM10.1 is compatible). Once it's compatible, is it worth flashing? I use CM on my phone (HTC Evo 4G) because I don't like Sense (and would have been stuck with Gingerbread!), but on the TF300T, Asus's ROM is generally pretty decent, so what is the advantage (if any)?
Right now, all I want to do is:
Unlock the bootloader using the official Asus APK
Install recovery using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187982
Root the stock ROM using the same thread
I've looked through the warning threads and most recent stuff here on XDA. Is there anything else I need to worry about, or does the above-referenced thread have me covered?

Anyone? I just want to make CERTAIN I'm covered before I take the plunge...

Well you can root without unlocking if that's all you want to do. You'll get much more benefit unlocking and flashing a custom ROM though.
That guide has it all covered.

I thought with JB and the 4.2 bootloader, you had to unlock to root? Is that not true?
Everything I've seen about rooting indicates that you have to be running ICS to root; JB blocks the previous exploit that was used for rooting.

Bought the TF300 three days ago. Installed all OTA updates, latest bootloader. Rooted with Motofail, seems fine so far.

Is there a particular ROM that's better than the stock JB? I especially like the built-in performance widgets in the notification bar in Asus's ROM. That being said, I could do without the crapware...

Do you have a link for the Motofail you used? I can't find one confirmed for the latest TF300T update.
