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.

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.

I searched the forum but couldn't find an answer. I have tried several times to update my TF to 3.2.1 but the update keeps failing.
I get a system update notification. The tablet shuts down. The little green android with the gears on his stomach appears with a progress bar under it. The progress bar gets about 1/3 of the way then an exclamation mark appears in a yellow triangle. The a few minutes later the tablet restarts and it says that the update failed.
I am currently on build number HTJ85B.WW_epad-8.6.5.9-20110816. My TF is unrooted.
Is this happening to anyone else? Anyone have any suggestions besides doing a factory reset then trying the update again? Thanks in advance for any help.
Was it rooted before?
Rooting itself doesn't break updates it's what you do whilst rooted that can, so unrooting isn't necessary. I'm having this issue again as I removed some Asus apps with Titanium Backup which I now can't get back (I did them when there was a bug in TB which didn't backup apps properly). The OTA update script checks the integrity of a bunch of apps and files, which if it fails will abort the update in the way you are seeing. Very annoying.

Yeah it was rooted. I just realized that immediately after I rooted it, I had made a CWM backup. I'm going to try to restore the backup and see if the update goes through. (fingers crossed)
Sounds like you're running a custom ROM

Nope, stock 3.2. The only thing that I flashed was a custom kernel.
The update still didn't work with my backup. Luckily the WW 3.2.1 update was posted in the development section, so I just re-rooted and flashed the update. Worked like a charm.
yeah, I think that your kernel will cause the update to fail since it updates some of the kernel modules.

Where did you find the ww 3.2.1? Because have the same problem and haven't found the rom. Wrong serach terms, for sure.
Got the problem, too!
Now I use Revolver!
I flashed revolver, too. Works like a charm.

I got it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281161
It's only a 3.2 to 3.2.1 update though, it's not a full ROM, so you have to already have 3.2 on your TF. Hope this helps!
i have the same problem too.
my TF101 was totally non rooted .
is there a download for this 3.2.1 update? so i can prehaps update my TF mannually ....
I didn't find one, because of that i flashed revolver.

I too have a problem with the update on my rotted tf.I got an unofficial update apk here but I still get an error message when trying to flash in CWM.I heard that this could be due to a modified system file,but I don`t remember having done such a thing thought...
Good luck.
hello tf300t users. how did you guys properly update your rooted tf300t? did you guys even update?
the reason i ask is because i rooted my friend's tf300t but was forced to install the latest firmware and during instalation this showed up and the tf300t restarted to a message that said that the update failed but when i checked the build version it went from to .17 to .26.
i don't want the same thing happen to me. i just ordered a tf300t for myslef which should arrive in a couple of days. i'm planning on using sparky root to root and i'm gonna replace the build.prop file with seanzscreams' tweaked version.
will running voodoo ota root keeper to save root status then un rooting the tf300t to install the latest firmware to using voodoo to get back root status work?
or is it best not to update and just stay on build .17. in which case how would i make the transformer quit asking me to update?
thanks in advance!

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!

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
