You could substitute the .30 update for the .26 since it appears to be available online again.

You could substitute the .30 update for the .26 if it is available online. I think it was taken down, but it may be available in someone's dropbox...perhaps in Development/ZEUS Rom thread.

Just an FYI - the .30 firmware is now available on the Asus site again - I downloaded it this morning.

Did you put the full image correctly renamed to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip on the SD card and reboot into recovery? (Power + Vol Down then Vol Up when you see the text at the top left?). This is the only way to recover from this situation that I know of, however, you won't lose anything - it upgrades "in place"

I'm more confused than ever on trying to find the *correct* guide to root my TF300T. The development forum has mislabeled threads, and most guides I found were guiding the root process for a device with a 9.x.x.x firmware. So, that said, can anyone point me to the CORRECT guide so I can root my TF running 10.4.2.17 please? Thanks.

So first off I totally understand the apprehension. I have rooted a lot thingd and this tablet seems especially technical and convoluted.
First read through this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697227
1) In that thread download the "unlock bootloader" app, run it and unlock the bootloader. Your device warranty will now be void and it will say "device unlocked" in the top left corner every time you boot it up.
2) Now go to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845377, scroll down to Part 3 and download the "fastboot + JB recovery" files. Extract them into the Fastboot folder that they are zipped in. There will be two .dll files, an ADB file, a Fastboot file and a twrp.blob file.
3) Turn off your tablet. Once it's off press the power and vol/dwn buttons at the same time. Keep holding them down until you see the screen with "RCK", "android", a usb symbol, and "wipe data". Once in that screen let go and use the Vol/dwn to move the cursor and vol/up to select the USB icon. Plug your tablet into your computer and the computer should recognize it as a "fastboot" device. You can check under "devices and printers".
4) Enter the "Fastboot" folder and while holding down shift, right click the mouse. In the menu you should have the option "open command window here". Select that and it will open a cmd window. Type in the line:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob
This will copy the TWRP recovery file to the tablet and flash it. You will see a blue progress bar on your tablet while this is happening. Once that is done type:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot
This will reboot your tablet and you will now have TWRP recovery installed.
5)Once in android again, go to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668173, and download the "root-signed.zip" file in the second post and copy it to the tablet.
6)Turn off the tablet and boot into recovery by holding power and vol/dwn again. Once at the menu select "RCK" with Vol/up. It will boot into TWRP recovery now. Install the "root-signed.zip" file, reboot and the tablet should be rooted.
At this point I recommend creating a backup in recovery in case anything goes wrong from here on out.
Now you can flash any ROM your heart desires. I recommend CleanROM 2.7. It's fast, clean and very easy to install.
TWRP is easily the best recovery for this tablet. I have had many problems with CWM not installing ROM's properly and causing boot issues.
I hope this help you out. I know it's kind of a mine field of information but it works very nicely.

This is a relatively big deal: while you could root stock ICS ROMs pretty easily, you can't do it on stock JB ROMs without unlocking the bootloader, Once you're unlocked, however, it's a piece of cake.
For the amateurs. Could you elaborate on these steps?
Step (1) (a) which file to download? the .apk for the .exe file?
(b) Download to where (the tablet or onto a laptop/desktop)?
Step (2): (a) Again, download to where? Tablet or laptop/desktop? And extract to where?
Step (3) & (4): This make it sounds like the files in previous steps should be downloaded and extracted to a laptop/desktop?
Step (5) & (6): CleanRom 2.7 is already rooted. Do we need to run these steps? Or can we install CleanRom after Step 4?
Backup: What files to back up? Everything?
Critical Questions:
Do the above steps work for tablets already on Android version 4.1.1 with .29 (or .17) builds?
Sidenote: Last night, my tablets had an ASUS update and it went from build .29 to .17. Is this strange? It's going backward?
I have followed these instructions exactly, but titanium and adaway both cannot aquire root privileges. and reason why?

These steps are not technically required but I put them in there because then you have a backup copy of stock JB that is rooted.

Have you confirmed that you are truly rooted or are these apps the only ones that can't access the root directory?
So you have to root first in order to do a backup?
No you do not have to root first to do a backup.

I read the reply's to your Q, but as I have the same build as you I still haven't found one that anyone claims has worked.
You have any success?
Root TF300T
Thank you so very much for that very helpful post. Much appreciated.
After reading your instructions, I'm happy to proceed but may I ask one question first.
I've unlocked my TF300 with the ASUS application.
My build number is 10.4.2.18-20121122. It's a UK model.
Am I safe to use your instructions with this build?
Kind regards
I never obtained root, and since my OP, I've gotten an OTA as well, so it's back to square one in finding a viable root method.
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
I'm in the same boat. Got a 300 for Christmas, bumped up to JB w/o reading here first (yeah...that was dumb). So from looking around the only way to root is to unlock and the only way to unlock right now is via the ASUS tool which - from what I've gathered - will send my serial number to ASUS and void my warranty correct?
A few questions:
1.) does anyone know if work is being done to be able to unlock/relock w/o voiding the warranty? I love root, but I won't do it while in warranty in case something unthinkable happens . I'm not sure how much of this would be true, but can't we use nvflash to download the locked bootloader then find a way to spoof the ASUS unlock authorization? Hell, unless each tablet uses a different signature couldn't we just post the nvflash-able locked/unlocked bootloaders? I'm thinking back to the flash processes from my Tegra2 gTablet. I could be way off base, but it seems plausible with my limited knowledge.
2.) is it possible to root w/o unlocking? I know I won't get CWM/TWRP and the ability to load non-stock ROMs but I can live with that. I'd like to be able to run TiB, ES File - Root, etc though. I thought I saw something about obtaining root w/o unlock, but I can't find it and it might have been ICS instructions.
3.) I take it there's no downgrading back to ICS that would fix this either....

Hi!
You can try to unlock your device with AsusUnlock app ! - is the safe way to unlock bootloader ! ( certainly will void your warranty ! )
I don't think that's cause for concern ...I've unlocked bootloader in the very next day after I bought it ( in august this year )
- so far I think I made five hundred " flash and reflash rom " - ( for testing "custom roms" ) - and the device shows like the first day when I bought it
So, be more confident - the device is not so easily to break , you can install as many "custom roms" as you want - you just have to be very careful about the steps that you make - when you try to install a custom rom !
Good luck ! :good:
regards,
Surdu Petru
Not worried so much about flashing causing issues. I've flashed my gTab more times than I can count. More worried about pre-voiding the warranty should I have any hardware issues. Like my battery life seems to be horrible and it might need sent in for that.

Hi All,
Searched the forum but couldn't find the same problem.
Tablet starts-up and goes to the starting screen.
After ca. 10 to 20 sec's the tablet reboots.
Sometimes I can read a mail or google for about 10 secs.
It is an original tablet, no unlocking or whatsoever.
Problems started after the latest update (firmware... I think)
What to do,
I am a noob not a nerd.
All help welcome !

Thanks for your quick response :good:
No, I don't get time enough to do a factory reset or back-up.
How to reflash stock firmware ?
When using the start button/volume down I get this message :
bootloader <1.00> released by "ww_epad-10.6.1.27.5-20130902" AO3
The screen says : "RCK" "ANDROID" "WIPE DATA"
When using RCK I get a dead Android with a error message
When using ANDROID I get a cold booting, a startup and I can read 2 E-mails and the looping is back.
I obviously do not use the Wipe out command.
I am using the TF300T with dock for nearly 13 months and was happy with the performance.

You do this with the Stock install zip for your bootloader:
Tylorw1 said:
1. Download the latest version of Android for your tablet. Make sure you download the correct SKU version.
A. To find the SKU, go into settings, About tablet, and look for your Build Number, There are two letters (such as US,WW, TW, etc.) that is your SKU. When downloading the zip from ASUS', you must download the correct SKU zip.
2. Decompress downloaded .zip file (it will be another .zip)
3. Rename it to:
A. For the TF700 and TF300: EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip
4. Make sure your MicroSD card is formatted Fat32. It must be Fat32 Format or it will not work.
5. Copy the file to (the root directory of) your MicroSD
6. Insert the MicroSD into the tablet
7. Shutdown (power off) the tablet
8. Power it on by pressing and holding VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons simultaneously
9. When you see white text in the top left corner of the screen, release the buttons ^^ and press VOLUME UP button (on RCK, this is your recovery which should already be selected) until you see Android logo and process bar
10. Give the update process 5-10 minutes. It should not take longer than that. If it happens to run for more than 45 minutes to an hour, force shut down the tablet and see if it boots. If it does not, try rerunning steps 7-9.

Hi Fransoos,
seems like your recovery is sorta borked. In a even worse situation (nothing booted up at all) I followed two guides:
1. Complete reset you device and update to the latest stock firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44244313&postcount=12
You should be able to get the latest firmware from this thread, I tried to download the 4.2 WW, working fine
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949758
2. A very nice script that will install the latest CM11 nightly and Google Apps on your device, including a working recovery and everything.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579922
You only need to have the drivers installed and an unlocked Bootloader. Maybe this is the way to go for you.
At least it's what I did and I am very happy with my decision.
Cheers

In the newer versions of the stock firmware there are only the three icons (RCK and so on) you described. A line at the top of the screen will say something bout fastboot, so if anyone tells you to select the USB icon ... than that is outdated information. Kept me on my toes for a while.

Hi guys, dumb question, but why not just let Francoos install the not latest firmware? It should at least fix his issues. If not, the lean wipe of the tablet should resolve this, but then his data is lost.
Any 4.2 stock firmware should give him better results than a reboot every 10 seconds.

The OP's bootloader is locked and he is on the latest firmware: 10.6.1.27.5. So upgrading to the latest firmware is the same as reflashing the firmware. So he has to download the 10.6.1.27.5 firmware from the forums or Asus website and upgrade it manually using the quote I gave a few posts ago.

You can reflash though fastboot or through the microSD card. The USB port cannot be used.
You can also download the ROM here though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697227

Did you see it reflashing and did it erase all of your data? It looping should not continue after a factory reset unless it is a hardware problem.

Rest assured you do have a bootloader. You may not have the bootloader interface the other Transformers have and possibly there is no way to get fastboot to work on this thing - I don't know.
There is no custom rom for this tablet, and if you do not want to loose 4G you cannot use one made for another Transformer either (no idea if that is even possible, I do not know the KL).
Your best bet is to gain root and uninstall a bunch of cr**, maybe use Greenify - I don't know. Very limited what you can do on stock....
I seem to recall that people got root with Framaroot on this thing. Google it, the info is out there. If I can find it so can you

ok let me get to the keypoints here that made me ask for help, and so you'll see that i'm not just a lazy person that doesn't use google
1) Some people they say that the KL can accept all the roms of the Tf700T. for example katkiss is saying to use one of their roms
1.a) some say that it will brick the device.
so, first question here, what will happen if i'll get a custom rom of the TF700T?
2) some people say that I should have a version of the "unlock bootloder" after unlocking with the asus app.
Well I don't have anything, I just have a small phrase which is "device unlocked" and that's it. nothing else.
3) some say on google that there is a cyanogen mod for the KL. Unfortunately cyanogenmod wiki and forum are down, so I can't find either assistance, either the files.
nothing to do here, then.
4) let's say I'll follow your guide, and i'll flash a custom rom. will I lose the 4g?
4.a) how can I get to the old rom, even original, in order to get 4g back?
5) about root: i managed to root it a long time ago. Unfortunately, even disabling most of the package and all the bloatware, the device really sucks.
that's the main reason why I abandoned there 3 years ago. now it's full of dust, and as I've been working a lot, I wanted to get it back with basic functions, but without waiting 10 seconds from the moment i press on APPS BUTTON and the actual time for which I see the apps page.
so, here's my google searching experience.

I'd say the first question is: Is there a compatible custom recovery for the KL and how to install it? I do not know that there ever was a custom recovery made for the KL and using one made for another Transformer may or may not brick your device. I do not see a single post from anyone stating that they successfully installed a custom rom or recovery on the KL, so my guess is: It cannot be done unless you develop a custom recovery for this tablet and find a way to flash it.
2) some people say that I should have a version of the "unlock bootloder" after unlocking with the asus app.

Well, there's the first difference to other Transformers: Most of them have a bootloader menu from where you can boot into recovery or into Android and perform a data wipe. Booted into the bootloader you also have fastboot access. The KL does not seem to have any of this. Do you have fastboot working on your PC? Try it, boot with Vol down or Vol Up and then check if you have fastboot access to the tablet. I doubt it....

I've only seen post users expressing hope or wishes for CM for the KL. I don't think there ever was a working CM rom for the KL

You cannot follow my guide unless you figure out a way to get fastboot working. You could try to flash TWRP recovery using their app or Flashify, but which TWRP?? Which version might be compatible with your bootloader? Nobody knows it seems. But heck! What have you got to loose? You are not going to use the tablet in its current state anyway, so if you brick it - who cares?
But to answer your question: Yes, you would definitely loose the 4G. The software for your modem has its own partition and no rom made for the wifi-only Transformers even knows this partition exists, let alone about the hardware
4.a) how can I get to the old rom, even original, in order to get 4g back?

Again: Untested territory. If you had a custom recovery or fastboot you might be able to flash the Asus firmware in either. Maybe
you won't believe me
I was away for 1 month
got back
installed framaroot
installed greenify
now it runs with like 10 apps total (including the keyboard)
tablet STILL UNUSABLE, takes 1 minutes to open youtube, 2 mins to open play store
Id really like to brick it rather than keep it like that

I then flashed the TWMR
when i rebooted it said
"no usb connected"
i then connected to the PC
and it say
"READY FOR DOWNLOAD" with an android picture
i can't boot it up again
what should i do now?
when i now do the FASTBOOT DEVICES command on pc, I see the serial of the asus
it's the first time fastboot sees it
I tried doing "fastboot update kitkatnougatellaxxxx.zip"
but it say that android-info.txt & android-product.txt not find so not flashable
what now, then? I can't even use it with the old OS
You need to boot into the TWRP that you flashed, hold the volume button down and press the power button (hold both) until you get the fastboot screen, the square with [RCK] should be blinking. Now press the volume up button to enter the TWRP recovery console. - NP

this is what i get when i press the volum down + boot button
I just did flashifty with the latest TMWR recovery for TF700T
help pliz
best bet would be to do a factory reset, I don't believe this rom will work on the KL model. - NP
it doesn't even allow the factory reset, as if i press it it gives the NO USB CONNECTED screen
i'd say it's bricked

Try selecting [1] "Enter SD down mode" which is Enter SD download mode and see if you get to the next menu. - NP
I can't
I mean it doesn't get to the next menu
I've been trying to find the threads on how to re-flash the stock ASUS ROM from the SD cardseeing this is the only way to get the TF700k working but I can't find it know. It involved have the ROM in the root directory on the SDcard and giving it a specific name, this name triggers the tablet to update itself. - NP
Hi guys,
Ive got here Android version 8.0.0 and OTA 2.33.401.19 . Try to upload to Android pie but it shows a popup with (there was unexpected error and the file system may be corrupted. Please contact HTC support for further assistance). HTC want me to send my phone and sent me those prices ...had couple of bad experiences previously with their support(HTC M7, U10).
Does anyone have got this problem?
Go to Settings => About => Software Information
and tell us the Software Number.
Install Simple CID Getter from Google Play Store and tell us the CID it shows.
Then we'll find you an appropriate RUU and OTA to update your phone to Android Pie without needing HTC's help at all.
Thanks!
HTC_034 and software number 2.33.401.19
Hi,
I do have exactly the same issue on an untouched U11 single Sim. HTC support is not able to help me.
Current software version is 2.33.161.11 of a German Vodafone Rom with CID VODAP102.
So I am desperately looking for OTA to from 2.33.161.11 to 2.33.161.12 and then to 3.36.161.1 or a RUU for 3.36.161.1.
Any help is more than welcome.
@breno_campolina: have you tried to clear the cache of the those two system apps: update and download manager (Apps -> 3 point menu -> show system apps)? You might also want to try to download the update within the safe mode. I have tried all of this without success.
Cheers

Dual SIM right ? If yes, backup your data to your PC and flash this RUU in order to get a fresh start and from there use the Software Update check in Settings to upgrade to Pie.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939818418
To flash the RUU, the easiest way is to put it in the root folder of a MicroSD card, put it in the u11, power off, boot to Download Mode with Vol Down + Power together and follow the simple instructions on the screen to flash the RUU.

@htc_one_mini_m4 just put it on the sd card and boot on download mode, but it didn't do anything. Could explain me how to do it, please?
Sorry about the noob question.

Sure,
Here are the necessary steps.
Firstly, rename the file you downloaded to 2PZCIMG.zip
Reboot to download mode by powering up the phone with the Vol Down + Power button together.
Once it has loaded it will ask you if you want to perform flash RUU, just press the Volume Up button once to do so.
Wait, keep looking at your phone's screen.
It will reboot when finished, be patient while the flash is ongoing, and if it gets stuck on a black screen, DO NOT do anything, it will take some time until it reboots.

Find it attached
Have you formatted your SD Card on your phone ?
And placed the renamed zip file in the main ( root ) folder of the SD Card ?
Follow this video guide, it's good

Thank you!!!
Really sorry to just drop this here but I can't find what I need...please push me in the right direction. I have HTC U11 Unlocked, S-ON, I was using TWRP and Magisk for the longest time and fine. I'm afraid based on my latest user expriences with my phone I need OTA badly to get up to speed. Obviously I can't take it, the download gets corrupted. I am back to stock recovery but still rooted. Software Number 2.42.617.7, Android version 8.0. I did nothing but unlock and Magisk to this system since I got it in 2017. Please help me acquire the OTA and apply it or get to a state I can take it over the air.
