I have been having issues applying updates to my Transformer TF101. During the update process, I receive a yellow exclaimation point symbol and the update fails. In the past I have downloaded the update and placed it on the SD card to install, but it does not seem to be posted yet. Does anyone know where I can get it, or does anyone know where the Transformer puts the OTA update file so maybe I can transfer it?
are you rooted or do you have a different recovery installed?
I am rooted, but I do not have a custom recovery... at least not that I'm aware of.
the same thing happened to me. I am rooted on stock recovery. Looks like I may be installing CMW soon huh..
Now I don't have the option to try to download it again either. strange.
I've tried to install the update a few times, but it fails at 25%. I dont have a rooted TF, just stock rom. Anyone else? And any ideas how to fix this?
Oh yeah: ive tried to reset it to factory defaults already.

Yeah, we are in the same boat. I have tried doing a factory restore and then doing the update and that fails as well. I am not sure why it is failing. See if the factory restore works for you.
If you ever changed something in system you need to revert back all the ota updates are checking every file by check sum , if one single file had the wrong check sum then you get the yellow triangle.

How would you suggest I follow through with that?

Okay, i fixed it. Here's what i did:
- Downloaded the latest stock rom from the ASUS website
- Copied the .zip file to a SD card
- Inserted the SD card, and my TF started installing the update
- After the update i was able to update to ICS
Has anyone else had any luck with this ^
I'm already on the most recent firmware, even tried this. still no luck.
I'm so confused!
yes works

I had been rooted stock and had to do the same thing. I lost root in the process. I likely could have prevented that maybe, not sure.

Anybody found a way to solve this? I still get the error after the android with turning gears appears. I'm stock. not rooted. I was once rooted but after the dec update I never rooted again. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
After you download the latest update from ASUS.
http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=20&s=16&m=Eee+Pad+Transformer+TF101&os=32
You have to unzip the file you download to the sdcard and it should show up as a folder named "ASUS".
Put the sdcard back into the transformer and you should be prompted for an update found on the sdcard. Run that update and then you will be able to successfully run the ICS update.

I think someone posted that he factory restored and it dint take either. I dont know how to root this version / or install cmw
OK so my update did not take this evening. What I had to do was go to the Unlockr site and get the downloads .13 and the stock recovery. (Actually I already had them downloaded for this reason exactly). Booted into CWR and wiped data/factory reset, flashed US stock firmware. Rebooted. Booted back into recovery the manual way and flashed stock recovery. Booted back up and went to settings and updated firmware. Had to update 3 times. 4th was ICS. Then plugged in to computer and let drivers reinstall. Opened ViperMod (make sure USB debugging is on) ran exe file and once it came up used option 1 for tf201 (not option 3 like you would think). Then once it was rebooted I was rerooted and ready to go. OTA Rootkeeper did not work for me. Also my internal SD is still intact. Lost data but since rooted was able to restore via TBPro. I am actually typing this on the tablet and not my PC.
Edit:::Factory reset alone did not work for me. So I had to do the above method. Also from what I have read (all frigging day long) the CWR versions seem to have mounting issues, unless someone has made a patch.
Btw mine is US version.
So, since "Jelly Day" is nigh, I was wondering what everyone's update strategy is. I'm thinking my process is going to look like this:
Backup root w/ OTA Rootkeeper/SuperSU
(Root) Unfreeze all the system apps I have frozen
(Root) Do a Titanium Backup
Do an ASUS Backup
(Root) Restore build.prop (was Clean RAM, but this is overkill)
Clear Caches
Cold Boot
Hit "Update"
Wait...
After Final Boot: Factory Reset
Cold Boot
Setup System via Standard menu
Restore Root if possible
Check for Adobe Flash (post JB Factory Reset may wipe it), install if necessary
Restore apps
(Root) Freeze unwanted apps.
I'm a little tempted to factory reset before and after the update. I might copy my entire /sdcard to an external HDD prior, too. I do this occasionally as a backup method.
Do any of you guys have other approaches. I know there have been times when I have just hit update without thinking about it much and let it rip. But I want JB to be... special.

Step 5...clean RAM?
I thought about factory reset, but JB is a minor update over ICS versus ICS over Gb, so I'll probably skip the factory reset unless I experience odd issues.

Yep. Any apps or data will need to be restored.
re Clean RAM: By that I basically meant run FMR memory cleaner. Now that I think about it that IS overkill... since caches will be cleared and a reboot will follow. I mostly just use FMR to reduce crashes due to memory fragmentation.
Wait for a top Rom maker to release their own version. Install that instead.
Good things come to those who wait.

I'm new to the Infinity, so I have yet to see what this FMR is...and I'm kicking myself for taking the .30 update before I read that it breaks nvflash for the TF700....
But I understand following the accepted method since that has always worked

The ROM developers won't be able to actually update the current ICS to JB, though, right? They'll be ROMs that you need to install on systems that have already been updated to JB first, right, or am I mistaken in this?

Can't update current ICS roms to JB. I mean you can sorta, but you have to start with the JB framework first. I'm confused I guess by your question.
You don't need to be on jellybean to install a Jellybean ROM. You can be on ICS, it doesnt frankly matter, so long as you have a recovery and unlocked bootloader

There should be no prep work folks. Use titanium to backup your stuff....accept the OTA after applying rootkeeper and restore apps after reboot. Caches and Dalvik will already be cleared from the OTA drop
Thanks for the list. Reminded me of a couple of things, i had not thought of. With .30 update i forgot to use voodoo and it took me most of an afternoon to get it to install.

Yeah, I had some similar mucking about.
Anyone know if an OTA Rootkeeper su-backup survives a factory Reset? I assume it does. It could be a problem with my current with my current list otherwise.

I believe it does. We use a bunch of TF300's at work. Occasionally I factory reset them, and the steps I use to get root back is:
1) Install Superuser
2) Install Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper
3) Open Superuser once
4) Open Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper -> Restore root

FMR Memory Cleaner. I use it to free mem before playing gfx intensive games.
Hopefully the JB update will also have the nvidia drivers fixed, so that reboot+FMR is not required anymore.
Another thing to think about: Restore build.prop prior to update. Sounds like modified build.props can hose the OTA.
I apologize in advance for being a noob, this is my first go at customizing ANYTHING android.
I got my Asus Transformer TF300T in January, had some hardware issues with it and exchanged it. I JUST got it back and decided to go custom before i got it all set up and then i would have to start over.
So I followed THIS guide and successfully installed Baked 7, Initially I used CWM as the guide told, but I could not get a boot image backup, so I used the same method and installed the most recent TWRP and it worked flawlessly.. I was unhappy with how the notification bar was at the top, I liked the stock where it was at the bottom. I could not find initial details on how to revert back to stock rom, so i decided to give some other custom roms a try. I was very interested in scottsmods CleanROM, but their website does not have the download anymore(that I could find) and thats where all the links in guides point to. So instead I installed CyanogenMod using THIS Guide. I immediatly noticed problems with this rom. It did not pick up my SD card, there was an error window that would pop up and go away before i could read it. It would not get on wifi.
I did further research into going back to stock, so I followed THIS guide its not directly XDA, but it followed the same style that i had learned previously(fastboot, etc) I did change to the support page of just the TF300T on the asus site, the guide links to the 3g one. I could not find my SKU in my device because the cyanogen rom changed the "Build" number. So I have tried each from the asus site and flashed them and would get stuck on the asus boot screen. I waited over an hour on each one before i decided it was frozen and to move to the next.
I didnt get any of the stock firmwares working. So I reflashed to TWRP, and attempted to go back to baked. I couldnt get the zip to install in twrp. but i was able to get cynogen to install again. It doesnt have the error window thing and the wifi works but still no SD.
I want to go back to stock, or baked if stocks not possible.
Stocks already been tried to the best of my ability, so i tired baked. Baked is on my external SD card, as in cynogen I cant access the internal one to move the files over.
Baked gives me an error saying unable to open zip file.
What am I missing? I cant seem to figure this out. Any and all help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
well, first off, you went from Baked 4.1 to cyo 4.2, now as i understand it . They moved the file system around in 4.2, and if you want to go back to 4.1 you have to wipe everything, I use TWRP 2.4.1.0 . Now I can understand not wanting to lose everything you've had set up.. Always do a back up before any major Flash. Just incase if your on a rom now thats decent save your files, perform a wipe, flash a rom , Clean rom in the xda threads is what im using.. Running great BTW. lemme know if it helped or didn't... lol Clean ROM Inheritance is a stock based rom. with an oc kernel which makes the tab perform like its supposed to. just be sure if you do decide to flash it you choose a kernel in the installer with T = Wifi, G=3G, 4G, etc. you want the T G

Is the 4.1 the same as 7? because 7 was the latest version available from team baked.
Edit: wait a sec... i think I understand. You mean baked 7 was 4.1 android and cyo was 4.2 android?
as far as data goes, i've already done all that. i did factory reset, wipe cache/wipe davik thing each time, no bueno. I have no data on the device as it was brand new outta the box. in TWRP, theres an option for wipe data, but factory reset says it wipes data and cache. should i still do the wipe data option instead of factory reset? so... wipe data/wipe cache/wipe davik instead of factory reset/wipe cache/wipe davik?
And also, I'm trying to flash a rom, back to baked from cyo because atleast baked worked. but it tells me its unable to open my zip files.
Do you have a link to the download of CleanROM? I've checked the official threads here and the download links take me to scottsroms.com and their download page only has the nexus10 and nexus 7 along with a bunch of phones.

So I managed to install cleanROM but its stuck on the boot screen now. its been sitting here spinnging for 20 minutes. the link you gave me says to let it stabilize for around 10 minutes. is it spinning the stabilizing part? should i let it keep going?
I used the TF300 kernel and the 160 thing as specified in the guide. everything else default with the exception of adding the go launcher HD and hacked hulu plus apps....
I did a format data(which wiped my internal sd and the zip file i was installing from so i had to reload to cya and recopy the zip to my internal sd card. i did factory reset and wiped cach/dalvik prior to installing. then after install i wiped cache/dalvik again as the guide said.
any ideas?

OK! so I got my tablet working with cleanROM at last!!!
I figured out why the zip files werent opening. for some reason my tab was only able to install from zips DIRECTLY on the internal sd card. whenever it tried one from the external sd card, despite being mounted, it was always unable to open the zip and would fail.
CleanROM got stuck initially because i used the WW version instead of the US version. Once i reflashed with the US version it worked great! had an issue with the start wizard crashing, but that went away after it stabilized. I stared customizing and playing and had no issues other than the SD card notification. That was an option i didnt choose to patch because i didnt know prior how annoying that notification was. it wouldnt get out of my notification window! so I flashed again, with that option enabled so that the sd card didnt bug me in the notification window.
I just got it back up and running, after the second flash with that modification added, and other than the start wizard still crashing(again, i let it sit a while and now it worked) it seems to be working great!
I hope my experiences can help newbies in the future that may have similar issues!

So.. which kernel did you choose? You should download the 2.0 kernel installer on the same thread, and choose the Unters tf300tG because you have 3g.. you will find your tablet runs ALOT smoother and faster than stock, but you need to flash the stock kernel first. Its a good way to do kernel flashes.

The kernel I used was the stock one.
I actually dont have 3G. mine is just a TF300T wifi only. Unless its the software that makes it 3G? But i dont think thats the case...
Would that alternate kernel give any other benefits other than 3G support?
Oh yea. Youll see a dramatic change in performance to say the least. Now. Im running a tf 700 kernel. But I would recommend you yo get the Unters TF300t kernel in the 2.0 Kernel Installer. Put the Installer zip on internal. Flash. Choose your kernel. Wipe cache and dalvik . Then reboot. You will not regret it.

We need insecure kernel in order to use that from android. But you should be able to use them from recovery if you set up adb to work in TWRP. If it still doesnt work in TWRP, then you will need to wait until Asus releases its kernel source for 4.2 so twrp team can properly build the recovery.

Wanted to bump this to see if there was any updates.
I just got TF300T as a fathers day gift and tried to use Carbon (now Helium) to backup and restore some app data from a rooted Galaxy Nexus over to a stock (non-rooted) TF300T running the updated JB 4.2.1 software.
I found that the restores would hang up and never complete - so I did some searching and found this thread.
Without unlocking the TF300T, is there any way to get an adb restore function working (Carbon/Helium or otherwise)?
If I do unlock / root the TF300T, does that even fix the issue? It looked like there was development that TWRP needed to do to fix something.
Helium restore does not even work after 4.1.1 downgrade...
Hi, I was hoping that the Helium app data restore problem was somehow only related to 4.2.1 - so I downgraded to WW_epad-user-10.4.2.20 (Android 4.1.1), but exactly the same problem there: the app itself gets restored (I backuped everything before downgrading - apps and data), but after showing 100% - the moment when my other devices start the data restore - the restore hangs and I have to cancel (and restart Helium to restore the next app).
Does anyone have an idea (not sure what the remark about an unsecure kernel really means - I thought this restore mechanism uses some internal Android function)?
Any help appreciated (I just want to keep my Angry Birds scores...).
Cold booting seems to make it worse and a regular reboot only makes it run faster for a little while. Any ideas?

The best way to deal with issue like this, is backup your stuff, do a factory reset (twice) then reflash the full Asus firmware. If issue resolved then slowly restore or reinstall your download apps.
I agree with solution. My tablet turned into complete molasis after 4.2.1 update.
I then back up my apps+data and factory reset the tablet.
It erased everything that was on the Internal storage and reset the tablet back to fresh brand-new 4.2.1 state.
Things are running much better now.
Wish I had backed up the files I had in the Pictures and Videos folders of Internal Storage that were lost in the reset, but oh well.
If you have a rooted tablet and you do the factory reset will you keep root? (not unlocked or able to get to recovery, just rooted with rootkeeper installed as well).

Yes it should. However, if you lose root on JB, not a problem anymore. This tool can root your device while on JB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230763 , remeber to uninstall any left over root before using the tool.

It is possible if you follow the process properly but you can root 4.2.1, so if OTA root keeper dont work you can still root.

I'm at 4.2.1 and experienced all the issues that have been document here and elsewhere. I was on the verge of trying to put in a one of the third party ROMs, but decided to give the factory reset a chance. Backed up the data using the Asus app to my microSD and removed it. Did the three time reset recommended and on the third try went through the setup. All my old apps were captured from the Play Store and then I installed the program/data backup on top of that. So far the tablet is now working without the long lags in using Chrome or just typing this reply. One of the games I backed-up was restored to the current game point. I would highly recommend doing the Factory Reset option (recommended is three times) to see if you can recover some of the speed in the tablet. Mine did and given I invested in the keyboard, I was not interested in making the move to say the Samsung Tab Pro and the expense involved.

Yes you have just cleaned you /data partition. It will eventually come back and without unlocking and installing a rom that supports trim there is not much you can do......
Bummer

Thanks for the inside info. I'll keep an eye on it and if it reverts, I'll go to plan B and install a new ROM. So there are no tools like a defrag for SSD that you fix the problem in Android other than through the ROM? Seems like it would be something that would be very useful.

There are yes - lagfix on the play store will trim the file system. You need to be rooted though.
