Hi, my girlfriend's Transformer is stuck at 8.6.5.13,

I have tried to update via Settings > About Tablet > System Firmware Update > but the "Check Update" button is greyed out.
I have also tried installing 9.2.1.11 via an external Micro SD card, but the card simply mounts. I have unzipped the .zip I downloaded from the ASUS site, this created another .zip file, WW_epad-user-9.2.1.1.11.zip.
If I unzip that file, I get a folder with the same name. Inside that folder is a file called blob and a folder called META-INF with RSA security certificates and another folder.
I suspect I need to update to an older update first, maybe even a few updates before I can jump to ICS. But the ASUS site only has 9.2.1.11.
I have searched extensively, and read quite a few pages of posts. But no joy.
The tablet is completely stock, not rooted and is the B50 variant. I'm not an ANDROID noob, by any stretch of the imagination. But the tablet is my girlfriends, and I have only ever played with the ZTE Blade and currently my LG O2X, running ICS (Thanks owain).
So from the fear of f*****g up my girlfriend's best gift from me. I just thought I would ask some experienced folks here for help.
I hope someone can help. Kind regards. Anil K Solanki

After you unzip the download, you will have WW_epad-user-9.2.1.1.11.zip in a folder ASUS/Update/ or something like that. I think you can try 2 things 1) Try copying the whole ASUS folder and all the contents to the root of your sdcard and then insert it onto the TF. It should find it and ask you if you want to flash or 2) rename the second zip to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip and put it on the root of your sdcard then reboot into recovery. This one might be tricky with windows because I think it is case sensitive or it might try to add a .zip to your .zip.zip. Thanks for nothing windows... Good luck with windows 8.
I think you'll need a stock recovery, but hopefully one of those methods will work so that you don't need to get a new girlfriend.

this worked for me
Go to settings - apps - all - find the DMClient entry, force close, clear cache and restart your TF
the button was not greyed out

ICE Cream Sandwich baby! Option 2 worked. I have never booted the Transformer into Recovery before, so I got to see a great animation of some gears spinning inside an ANDROID robot. Cool.
I have been asking myself, "why the f**k are you bothering with this update?". Susy my girlfriend doesn't care, as long as the tablet continues working. But after 5 mins, I can tell it is a lot faster. Worth staying up until 1.30 am for.
Many thanks. Anil

[ROM][3.21.2012]NVFlash ICS 9.2.1.17 US/WW/TW Restore[FULLY STOCK!!NOT ROOTED!!]

Hi
Here are the nvflash versions for the .17 update. For those that wanna go back to stock for warrenty or have a dualboot this can come in handy.
I've tested the WW version on my on transformer and it worked (got a B70 with SBK1) created the US and TW version the sameway with the same config files so it should work! LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKS FOR YOU
But remember i'm not responsible for any bricks flashing my causes and you do this on your own riks.
Quick guide:
1. Connect cable to computer and turn device on while holding down Volume Up. Screen will stay off, but USB will come on.
2. Find “APX” device in Device manager and update driver, then point it at usbpcdriver directory from the zip.
3. Run download.bat.
I'm hosting them on my own server:
http://www.xdafileserver.nl/
*Added US version, and TW version

Thanks
.

Worked great on a B60 and a B70.
Thank you.

not for TF101G - B90 ?

Nopes these are only for versions with SBK1 and the B90 series doesnt have that sorry m8, but there are otherways to get back to stock for B90 just look in the dev section.

mine still in stock, but HC 3.2.1.. i thought ICS for TF101G already available for certain countries..
thanks a lot anyway..

@Korumera
I want to create JP version.
Can you tell me how to create ?

Thanks would this remove any version of clockwork recovery such as the disasterours 5.x that makes you do a cold boot on each restart?

Yes
NVFLASH'ing removes every partition and restores the orignal one.

Windows won't allow me to install the driver. It says the third-party INF does not contain digital signature information, and it doesn't give me an ignore and proceed anyway option. Any ideas? I'm doing this from device manager.
Edit: if anyone else has this happen, rebooting to boot options (the screen that lets you boot into safe mode and such) there is a setting to disable signed drivers. That worked for me.

This is so useful. Thanks.

Really good job! Thanks man!

nicely done! I was thinking about creating one for this version but I got tied up with work.

No problem
Hope it comes in handy!
and chadster214 work comes first at least they say so haha

Hmmm try to flash it again, i've checked the zip file and it contains all the files including the recovery (blob.sos)

Thanks a lot. Fixed a issue for me. No matter what I flashed I couldn't get the wifi to work again. Just stayed in a state of trying to turn on.

Tried and tested the WW version; no problem at all.

I install the new NVFLASH_ICS_9.2.1.24_WW_NOROOT
My recovery it's the same, how is the recovery stock? you have screens?
I read that is normal in stock (android with admiration sign)
Thanks in advance, sorry for my english

This process works fine. A few things to keep in mind:
1) Unzip the .7z file in a folder in a folder at the root of your hard drive: I typically open my Windows boot drive, create a new folder, name it "nvflash" and dump the archive's contents into it. This avoids getting errors as a result of the Windows folder/file path being too long.
2) Timing is important when connecting the tablet to the computer: on Windows 7, I simply press the power on+volume up buttons for 2-3 seconds (up until the "new hardware found" bubble appears in the tray area), I then let go and make sure the screen remains off (*VERY IMPORTANT*).
3) To install the Windows driver for my TF101, I go to Device Manager, right-click on the APX icon (it should show a yellow exclamation point), update the driver by pointing Windows to the /usbpcdriver folder (e.g. c:\nvflash\usbpcdriver, for example), let Windows finish the install and ONLY then start the flashing process by running download.bat in Administrator mode.

[Q] Stuck in Clockwork Mod Recovery with no access to external SD

On friday i booted down my TF101 B70 and when i booted it back up could not get into Android, tried Cold Boot Linux tried Wipe Data. Did not work.
I do still have my ClockworkMod Recovery v5.5.0.4 which i keep booting into.
The problem is I am able to access the interal memory but my superwipe and Revolution HD files are not on there (if this is fixed, i will never make that mistake again)
I formatted my 2gb micro sd and loaded superwipe and revolutionHD, but cwm recovery does not see it.
I hooked up the TF101 to my pc to see if there was any way I can get access to the internal SD but i cannot connect as it is an unknown device on Win 7 64bit, which i cannot find drivers for. (Tried Asus Sync, Tries Asus' page for usb, even tried the APX drivers)
My question is how can i gain access to the internal SD to place my superwipe and revolution hd to flash and save my beloved TF101? is there a way i can access it with ADB? im pretty sure mine is the SDKv2 which is not accessible (sorry if i wrote that wrong)
any insight will help. Thanks!

use adb push command to send giles from the pc to the main storage or use gnufabio's recover install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180 to install a cwm version which could access external sd card

do i do adb push from and set the tf101 into apx mode or while in cwm recovery?

You can use ADB in recovery. DO NOT put the Superwipe script back in because once you use it, it will wipe everything again. Just ADB push your ROM file to internal sd and use option inside CWM to wipe your TF.

when i am in APX mode, usind adb shell i get " error: device not found"

when i am in recovery, win7 cannot find the right driver for the device. it just sits in "other devices" in device manager as "Transformer"
btw, thank you guys for your input.

Here is what Win 7 64bit shows when I am in ClockworkMod Recovery v5.5.0.4

I've never really used adb under win. have you installed the dev drivers from asus site? i don't have theexact url at the moment, i'm sorry.

from asus' site i only tried the asus sync and ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows. i will see if they have dev drivers on their page.

Nothing that i could find on the Asus site:
http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=Eee+Pad+Transformer+TF101&p=20&s=16
I also installed from SDK Manager "Google USB Driver" still nothing

Try the driver out of ViperMod.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427125
When you're in the Device manager right click and chose update driver.
Point it to the driver location.

tried those, still will not accept those tried from within the "Driver" folder and Android MTP and tethering each one by itself.
This driver business is driving me nuts.

What about ASUS sync? That's what work for me

yep same issue. I just tried on a win xp 32bit netbook.
when i connect the TF101 it shows up as an Unknown device but the device name is "Transformer" and no matter what driver i try, it does not install the driver.
maybe is there something weird about Clockwork Mod Rocovery v5.5.0.4

installed Asus sync on win xp 32, did not update the drivers, also went directly into c:\program files\ASUS\ASUS Drivers for Windows\ that also didnt like it.
what is it with this ver of CWM that it wont like the drivers?

But people with that CWM used ADB to fix the same problem you are having though.
Can you find someone in real life who already has transformer and adb drivers working on their computer? You should plug your TF into their computer and see if ADB works. If adb still doesn't work, then it's safe to say you are screwed I think.
Or find a working transformer and plug that into your computer and see what happens with drivers.

there is something weird about it that i have never experianced using cwm on a sgs2 and sgs.
when i go into CWM, and try for instance "install from sd card" then "choose file from sdcard" it takes a good 5 minutes to pull up anything, all you see for a while is the cwm logo in the center, then after about 5 6 minutes all the folders i have on there appear.

another thing i just noticed right now, after i reboot from cwm there a destinct click from the device on the back where the camera is....
this is not looking good
EDIT: nvmd supposedly this is normal

will try that as soon as i have access to one

Another uopdate,
I booted with the Up Vol + Power to Coldboot linux, after letting it sit there for about 10 mintes the MTP driver popped up on my win 7 64. the driver installs, but in device manager it says the "device cannot be started"

SDcard changed to external1?

Clockwork said that /sdcard/ couldn't be found when trying to install a zip from SD card, so I used a file browser and found that /sdcard/ only had a few folders, not any of my SDcard contents. So I went to /mnt/sdcard/ and there were the same files as /sdcard/. Then I looked in /mnt/external1/ and found all my SD card files.
Is this how it's meant to be? How can I get Clockwork mod working again?
Thanks

Nobody? :crying:

Sorry, the WiFi only version, MZ604. Currently it is running EOS IMM76D nightly, 112.
However CWM still says it can't find /sdcard/, I'm I'm not sure if the ROM caused it.

Can you still access recovery and flash a zip from anywhere accessible in your internal SD card?

And I believe you are still on ICS, right? 112 is quite old build...

Here is what I would do,
Thru adb, install this recovery IMG, the best recovery for Xoom. http://d-h.st/WtX
Thus recovery will read external SD, put latest ROM, 129, with latest gapps in external SD,
Boot into your new recovery by pressing power vol up together to see moto logo, then vol down, then vol up.
Wipe data, cache, dalvik, flash the last ROM , gapps, reboot.

Well this is strange. USB debugging is ON and when I plug the device in, it says so, and it also says it's connected as a media device (but doesn't show up on the computer because the SD card is now external1), but when I do adb reboot bootloader, it says the device isn't connected I tried two cables, both work fine on my HTC One X.

When it says device not connected, try to reboot your Xoom to fast boot, and fire the command. You may have a driver issue , try to use another laptop

That didn't help either :L
Same thing on an another computer.
I'll be able to try on another later.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

I got fastboot to work on my Ubuntu netbook!
I got the latest version of EOS JB on my Xoom now (129). I'll try see now about the SD card. If it is still external1, I'll format it and see what happens. I'll keep you updated
EDIT: Ok, everything seems to be working, sort of. The SD card is now in the right place, only problem is my computer doesn't recognise it. My netbook with Ubuntu does though. I'll check for any drivers etc..
EDIT: I went to device manager and found my Xoom, but there are no drivers..

Asus TF300T is micro SD required for updating

Hi, do i need SD card or micro SD card for updating to 7.1 ? Mine Asus Tf300t sees the sd card but it is still initialzing (for long long time) even i put 8GB or 64GB card.
In the map i don't see the sd card only internal memory.
Should i copy all te files to internal memory ?
I hope someone replies, i don't how i update the Asus, Youtube and many other apps are not working.
Greetz, Bis

Yes, you do! Take a 32GB micro SD card.
For further help please look here! Timduru is the developer of the custom ROM. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-n-7-1-2-katkiss-nougatella-039.3453702/
Good luck!

Hi, now the micro sd card is working on the tablet, but i don't see the USB icon when i press power button and holding volume button down, i just see RCK, Android and Wipe data.
When i type adb reboot bootloader and press enter i hear the sound that laptop and the tablet doens't make connection with USB. Then i see RCK Android Wipedata.
I tried on different laptops with asus driver, i cannot unlock the bootloader.
When i type adb devices then i see the device, but when i type adb reboot bootloader it disconnect, i just see RCK, Android and Wipe data . Also when i type adb devices i sdon't see any devices.
I read many times on XDA forum how to unlock what i need etc..without succes.
With days i am bussy and still not unlocked, i tried on 3 laptops different drivers.
I gonna give up.

That's only what you finaly might do, because being unlocked is mandadory for the devise with view on further changes. Unfortunately nowadays unlock the device isn't possible anymore. So you must keep your tablet alive on stock rom 4.2 Jelly Been! I'm sorry for that. Nevertheless good luck!

Follow Djibe tutorial on another topic. Seems it's working.
Mine is unlock since many years ans is still working thanks to Timduru Rom.
