Hello,
Well first off, I have unrooted the tablet already (I think). I followed this guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154947&highlight=easy+unroot
I would have posted my question there, but apparently this forum wont let me post there since I do not have 10 posts yet.
I currently have version 3.2.1 installed, have the stock recovery installed, and do not have superuser showing in my apps list.
However, I am still not getting ICS OTA update. So I can only assume I've done something wrong.
I realize I can simply download ICS firmware update from asus and update it the same way I did 3.2.1 after unrooting, however that wont work. I'm trying to make sure OTA updates are working because I'm giving this table to my computer illiterate sister and need updates to work OTA for her.
Thank you for any assistance!
Asus pulled the OTA ICS update because of reported widespread problems with it.
Hello Steven6282,
any luck already? was ICS cancelled by asus?
Maybe the solution I mentioned in the post below will help?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19468648&postcount=7
on that forum they have stock 3.2 Build of 8.6.5.13 in nvflash. But his depend if you are able to use nvflash (serial number of your tablet)? I used this method and then ota also works again. this way your tablet is really stock without tweaks.
goodluck.
Rogers released a new update (Link), but trying to flash it from my phone keeps failing.
I would like to flash it from my computer but can't seem to find out how.
(figured it out, please delete)
Ok, so I got a message for the OTA update today (ver 67.21.125.en.US). Now, I see all these threads that say don't apply the OTA because you can't flash back. But they seem to be talking about if you are already IN ICS. I am running a custom mod version of the supercharged 2.3.6 rom.
Is this the official ICS update? Should I flash all the way back to stock and then just do the OTA's? Will that process make it so I will not be able to FXZ back?
Or Should I follow the instructions in this thread? --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779968
The only question I have about the above linked thread is I am not sure if that info is out of date regarding this update I just saw today. If the OTA that came up today is nothing new (and it just took forever for me to see it for whatever reason) and everything in that thread still applies, then I will probably go that route. However if this is a new/different update, then I dont know what to do.

All of your questions have been answered numerous times in numerous threads over the past week.
I suggest to read - A LOT - then, make the choice whether to go on the official ICS (your phone must be in stock 2.3.6 GB condition), or non-official leak#1 which you linked (which yes, we are still able to downgrade with leak#1 ONLY).
If you are going to go on custom roms in the end, then it really doesn't matter... and in my opinion, I'd prefer to have the option to FXZ if I'm in trouble - so I'm personally sticking with leak#1 as a base firmware - at least until we get an FXZ package for the official at&t 4.0.4 ICS.
Ok, I suppose I should have phrased it better, but my main question/concern was whether I was seeing a newer update than what all those threads were talking about. It seems as though I am not.
I'm currently on NI1, and I just had a update notice. It's about 392mb in size. Didn't see anything about any updates so figured I'd post.
Did you take the update? Did it install? If so what is the firmware listed as?
Since it is 392mb I would assume it is an update, rather than a full version increment? Probably still 4.4.2 Let is know
It's almost done downloading now at 81%. I'll post back with a version once installed.
Are you rooted right now? If so it may not install, or try and fail. If you are rooted immediately after it finishes downloading you can copy the update file to your sdcard/external sdcard and upload it to a file sharing site. If it is in fact a newer version of firmware you could make devs happy. If you need to know how/where the update is located I can help you out
BEFORE IT INSTALLS open up a file browser (if rooted possibly) and navigate to \cache\fota\2400258.cfg. Should be the name or something similar. Long press on it and choose copy. Then navigate to you sdcard and paste it where you can find it. Then upload it to a sharing site.
Not rooted on this S4. The update went through and it was updated to NJ1 4.4.4

Thanks, hopefully SOMEONE will pull it soon.
Yeah. Been having random issues with my phone since the previous. All seems to be good now. The update does add a few new programa. Nothing worth using except maybe keeper. But so far so good.
Phones definitely a lot snappier now.!
I would love to see a screenshot of the about to confirm.
There you go.
Update failed on my rooted device
I just tried it, It failed to update and I lost root.
Here is a screen of the few apps it put on once completed. It also added a kids mode app.
If ANYBODY is rooted it most likely WILL FAIL. It is only 300+ MB sobitbis not a complete ROM and most like just has mostly PATCH files inside. I would recommend users that are rooted WAIT until a dev can do something with it, and check it out. Each update has locked our phones down harder.
On that note if ANYONE is rooted and downloads it, do NOT install it. But go to the location I listed above to pull the file from the phone and upload it to a sharing site. Then a dev can look into it first and incorporate it for our rooted phones WITHOUT updating the bootloader
After looking around the forums it looks like Samsung has pushed a few updates to phones ( S4 getting 4.4.4, S3 4.4.2 patch files, and the Note has gotten an update as well). I think these updates are probably going to be the final updates before they phase out old devices and possibly start porting 5.0 on our device (S4). I really wish there wasn't new At&t bloat, but hopefully these are new services that phase out all the old outdated bloat At&t had in the past :good: also to each his own I just never use those apps.
Thanks for posting this, I would've enjoyed this if I hadn't already flashed Goldenfinger and nandroided all my apps over... to lazy to use Safestrap again.
DON'T INSTALL IF YOU'RE ROOTED!
Nice. Wasn't doubting the OP. I see att has updated their support page to reflect the NJ4 update.

If no one else does, I will try when I get to work tomorrow. We have numerous S4's that people traded in for the S5. I can see if I am able to root one and do the update using your instructions. If not I can check to see if onw of our Kiosks can allow me to pull the update. Not sure if they have that one yet for self updating. Will let you know in the AM.

Wish I had read this before. I am rooted so it said install interrupted after download. So do I have to unroot and return to stock? I am on NI1 4.4.2. Maybe you or someone can get copy for us to install it by. Let us know what to do if rooted to get the OTA. Thanks
Downloading now. I'll post when done. Rolled back to NB1 before updating so this is a 489MB download.

Guess I will roll back to NB1 also Friday. Got NB1 downloading now. Do I need to wipe or Anything before I flash file in Odin 3.09????
I am stock rooted. Wanting to try latest Beta for FRD-L04. I saw the network post but it seems a bit outside of my knowledge. Is there a better way to get it to update? I saw someone mention a dialer code after dragging some files into a certain folder?
Flash it with TWRP?
