I'm hoping someone might be able to help me get my TF300T updated to 4.1. I have not received an OTA update as of yet and I assume I would have by now if I was going to. I went to the ASUS site and downloaded the firmware update for my model but can't figure out how to get it installed. Could someone point me in the right direction or help me with this?
Thanx
Have you rooted? Unlocked bootloader?
If not, try rebooting your tablet and go into settings----> About tablet -----> system firmware update -----> check update (or you could keep pressing Pad EC version and then update). I don't know why you can't upgrade though, seems strange.

I have the same problem i colled to asus poland and the do not know to
Rooted no, unlocked bootloader yes.
I did that awhile ago with the intent to root and put CM10 on. Never went any further than the unlocked bootloader. Do you think that would prevent it?
I think it might, although I don't know much. There are threads explaining how to do the update with an unlocked bootloader I think

You will need root though

as Asus already put the rom file on their support site, why dont you just download and install that instead of waiting for ota?
I said that in my original post. I downloaded the update from their site, but have no idea how to install it. It is something I have to flash or just an installer I run on the tablet?
The link I posted should help I think

for default asus recovery:
open the zip file you got, inside it you should find another zip file
rename that (without unzipping it) as EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip and copy it on a micro sd card
insert the micro sd card in your tablet, power off your tablet, power on in recovery (power+volume down, then volume up)
wait for it to install (two part process, first you get the android robot with a spinning polihedron in his tumming and a slowly filling bar at the base while the rom is unpacked and prepared, then it will reboot and you will see the asus logo with another slowly filling bar at the base while the rom is actually installed - DONT SHUT DOWN, RESTART OR WATHEVER FOR ANY REASON DURING THIS PHASE!).
no root needed.
for custom recovery: same as before (unzip the basic zip file, copy the inside zip to your sd, probably there's no need to rename it), wipe everything, then your custom recovery has a feature for burning a rom, follow their instructions.
by the way, this is not an update procedure but a complete reinstall, you will lose everything on your tablet you have not backupped.
can you post the link to the tf300tg jb software. i don't see any jb link for tf300tg on the asus support site

afaik asus has yet not posted it.
I am unable to post links, but if you find your tablet on their site, then select the Download tab.
Down below select Android under OS and then Firmware. Then find the update that matches your SKU.
They updated their web page, now there is ASUS Transformer Pad TF300TG Firmware: V10.4.3.7 ready for download.
sources too.
Hi friends,
I have a TW SKU of the tf700, I recently downgraded to ICS .30 to obtain root, but after that my tablet cannot receive any OTA updates anymore. I can't seem to find a solution to fix this, so the only thing left for me to do is to manually update through dlpkg files. However, I cannot find any dlpkg for TW SKU anywhere on xda. So, I would really appreciate if you guys can help with either:
1. Fix the OTA update issue (no matter how I check system update, it always says no update available):
I simply followed the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1925230 and flashed ICS .30 firmware and ran Debugfs to root. As such, I did not made any changes to builds.prop or any other files for that matter. I have also done a factory reset, clear data of dmclient, cmclient but still no luck in getting any JB OTA updates.
2. Links to dlpkg files for TW SKU.
Thanks a lot.

The reason why I cannot manually flash full JB firmwares is that I will lose root if I do so. Since my tablet is still locked, downgrading is the only way to obtain root and then apply OTA updates to reach the latest version. Sadly I can't find any OTA update files for TW SKU.
Even though the firmware download page says you can't do SKU conversions, I think several people have done it - so if you don't find TW dlpkgfiles, maybe you can flash the US or WW version of 9.4.5.30 and then update that. But try to find someone who can confirm that this really works.

Thanks for the suggestion, I guess that is the only other alternative I can explore. The thing I am concerned about is that I don't want to void my warranty (which explains why my tablet is still locked), but to me SKU conversion seems to fall within the area that may cause troubles when I send my tablet to ASUS service center in the future. I definitely will read up on this, but it will be great if someone can provide verification.
I had the tf700 and the dock for over a month now and I haven't gotten any notice in terms of the dock firmware upgrade. Mine is currently mobile dock version 105 and I have looked at other threads to find a solution but nothing. I tried reflashing back to stock firmware and undocked/docked the tablet but still nothing. I am currently rooted but still locked on JB. Anyone know how to update? or manually? I found out that if you go to about tablet and repeatedly click on mobile dock version, it takes you to another menu for a manual update to Pad EC, dock isp, and camera isp but I can't find the necessary files online to install them.
Which dock model do you have, and what doesn't work with the current firmware?

There may well be an issue with your serial number not being registered with ASUS. Does your 700 receive OTA updates? The latest dock firmware is 0207 -- you might try and find the older FULL firmwares to update with -- the incremental stock updates do not seem to have it onboard.

Yes I can receive updates from Asus. When I first got the tablet it told me to install the jb firmware. Isn't the jb firmware considered a full system firmware? And also i don't have to be on its to be able to receive the dock updates right? I'm on 4.1.1

It's bc I have mobile dock version 105 and I heard the 207 is the most recent. So I'm trying to update my dock firmware to 207 somehow. I heard you need to flash with a full firmware but which are considered full firmware as opposed to incremental?

Do you have the newer dock? version 207 is the latest for the tf201 dock version. and If I remembered correctly version 105 is the latest for the tf500 dock.

Ohhhh I see. Then miine is prob the tf500 dock? Is this the same as the tf700? So there's only tf201 and tf500/700 dock? That might be the reason I'm not getting any update prompts for the dock....thanks a bunch for enlightening me

Ugh -- I knew all these dock types were going to shoot someone in the foot. If it were not ASUS, then us. Or, rather, me.
BTW: for perspective (and to diminish the pain a little): I have the TF201 dock, so I couldn't have less of a clue whatever dock firmware version your spiffy 500/700 dock should be.
Hey sorry i am new to the forums not new to rooting phones but i guess a tablet is all new ballgame i just received the asus transformer tf700t on ebay and tried to root it and it wont root as after i click into RCK it goes to installing system upate and then the red triangle android guy shows up saying error (i guess i cannot recovery mode the device either)
ok i was able to root my device but i am unable to install custom roms as my recovery boot im assuming is corrupt
Please note as i received it this way
Try this:
Boot Loop/No Boot Version (Can also be used to downgrade but always backup all apps and data.)
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: 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.
ASUS - Tablet & Mobile
The zips are under Tablet(your model), Downloads/Support. then under Android.
Also, they removed the 4.2.1 zips from their website. Here are Mirrors.
TF700 Zips (10.6.1.14.4)
Stock 4.2.1 US
Stock 4.2.1 US Mirror
Stock 4.2.1 WW
Stock 4.2.1 WW Mirror
Stock 4.2.1 TW
Stock 4.2.1 TW Mirror
I'll explain what your seeing a little bit more. The android guy on your back IS the stock recovery, it is not an interface. 10.6.1.14.4 is your your android version. 4.2.1 is the base, 10.6.1.14.4 is the package that ASUS creates and names it, so nothing is incorrect. Just try this method and it should get the tablet up and running.

Error how? The android guy laying of his back? That is not an error. The stock recovery has NO interface, so you CANNOT go INTO the stock recovery. All the stock recovery can do is update if you have a ROM on your sdcard.

Then you didnt follow the instructions/naming properly. Try renaming it on a PC first then put it on the MicroSD card and doing the process. Also make sure you have the correct SKU and name down.

A common error is to download the file and rename it without extracting it first. Its a zip in a zip. The one inside is the one you need to rename, not the one you downloaded.
The other common error is not having FAT32 format for your MicroSD card, which is the Removable one, not the internal sdcard. When you get a MicroSD card out of the box, the standard format is exFAT which does not work for recovery (flashing ROMs or firmware).
The dead android means that your recovery cannot find the update.zip file in the root directory of your MicroSD card.

Looks to be he installed a custom recovery. However in the OP, he never mentioned of being unlocked. I thought he was fully stock, so it is an entirely different situation. So my answer to him was for people who were purely stock.

Gotcha. But he did mention in the OP that he was trying to install a custom rom, and that can only be done if unlocked. But it also looks like he added that statement as an edit after the OP. Weather or not he knew that is unclear. Makes it hard to help someone when you only get partial info from the user about their problem I agree.

You have what problem? You did what and want to accomplish....??
And always mention what bootloader/recovery/rom you are currently running.
My TF300T was updated to the recent OTA stock ROM, and thus lost the root that was previously gained through motochopper.
The tablet has recently become so slow and unresponsive sometimes that it's almost unusable when surfing or playing games.
Now I'm torn between two options. First, downgrade it to the previous version of stock ROM, and get root again. The second option is to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and then flash a ROM that solves the lag problem.
For downgrading, which stock ROM should I get from the Asus website? And what is the downgrade procedure?
Would factory reset solve the unresponsiveness?
For unlocking/recovery/flashing, what procedure is safe for the stock ROM (build no. JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.27.1)? Which custom ROM do you suggest that would have reasonable responsiveness?
Thanks!
I've read if you downgrade to. 1.15 you can use motochopper to get root back.

Downgrade to at least 10.6.1.15 - I've read that motochopper still works on that version for root access which I believe is required for any touchscreen driver reloads or refreshes.

I've downloaded the previous version of ROM (10.6.1.15). My question is, how to flash the zip file considering that my TF300T has the stock recovery and not unlocked?

Yes that should be the correct file for you. I just did the downgrading with the US. build, and gained root again with 10.6.1.15.3.
