Hey guys,
My Transformer is set to arrive shortly, and I've noticed that even the Asus reps have recommended not installing the OTA update. However, I have also read that you can only turn the update down three times before the system forces it. So what's the best solution for those of us who haven't taken the device out of the box yet?
(Also, I understand methods have been discussed in other threads, but I couldn't find them via search. I also didn't want to "hijack" the Bricked Transformer thread. Perhaps this could be a central thread for advice for folks just getting their Transformers now.)

I was wondering the same thing about the updates and potential for bricking. My transformer is arriving today. Where did you read that the AUS reps said not to install the updates?

A guy called "Rich" (here) and a developer called "Eric Liu" (here). Both purport to be from Asus and I see no reason to believe they're lying.
I'm hearing reports that the update might have been pulled. Can anyone with an older stock device confirm that?
Thanks!

If no one else beats me to it, I'd be glad to share my experience out of the box tonight. However, even if they pulled the latest update, I imagine there's a chance it might want to update to the previous (safe) one. So two questions: #1 - Can I tell what version of OTA the device wants to install prior to installing it? #2 - If it wants to install the latest OTA, how can I prevent it from doing so? (Without installing a non-stock ROM.)
I have a question, which mayb already has been asked & answered, but i just can't find it..
I'm on an Asus TF300T, and i need a recoveryblob 9.4.3.17 - the WW version (since i'm in NL), but its just nowhere to be found..
Somebody knows if this blob available somewhere ??
(or someone who got this on disk, or can extract it from a TF300T that isn't updated)
Any help is appreciated! Thx

Woops, this post ended up in the general section, and should go in Q&A! Sorry for that!!
Did your device ship with the .17 update or did it come with .26?
It came with .17, but stupid me upgraded as soon it asked for it...
So, i think some should be able to extract the BLOB memoryblock from an original (non-upgraded) WW device..
Fellow dutchie here, is there anything I can do with an updated rooted tablet running .26? (aside from trading my tablet, lol).

Well, unless you made a backup of .17 before the upgrade to .26, i don't think you can help
Don't screw up your install, you can't reflash it to root at the moment
(Except for .17 US)
Sorry man, no backup
Good luck anyhow.
Looks like this is the dutch forum.
I updated to .26 as well just as you.
Not knowing I would probably be better of staying at .17 and then get it rooted.
Oh well, it's just a matter a of time I guess.
I don't suppose anyone still has the .17 blob file that can upload/share it? Been searching for days without any luck.
Hi guys,
I'm fairly new with all the rooting stuff, as I never had any reason to do so. However, since some games (where's my water for example) save their save data in the /data/ folder, I need root.
I was actually about to downgrade my tablet using these steps, but since I apparently run a WW build according to my settings app, I understand I have to wait? Or is there only a specific reason not to use a US version (i.e. localization issues)?
However, a friend is maybe going to buy a TF300 and is probably going to root it, so if he buys it I will check the firmware version and see if I can extract it. Its the least I can do after all the years xda helped me with my smartphones.
Me too Dutch
no .17 ww file found. please upload one!!
i am on .17 us rooted but can not receive the OTA .26 update.
ww 9.4.3.17 blob file needed
I've got my 300t about 1,5 week ago and was so stupid to upgrade to .26.
I need .17 ww version also.
Please upload!
Thanks
Marco
We need someone with an unrooted .17 bought in Europe, except DE..
The process of extracting the firmware is fairly simple...

Well, i can't remember the localization issues i found, but i know i found them..
More important, it doesn't seem to get any updates, so you stay on .17 when you're in europe..

You won't receive WW OTA updates when you are on a US firmware...

Hi,
I looked everywhere and this device (Asus Transformer TF300TL) appears to be lost.
Anybody knows if TF300T roms work on it?
Anybody has one here?
Any ideas?
I appers to be pretty similar.
Hello
Rom differs between TL and T
Because of functions modem.
TL is really useful for the 4G

You will find some links at the end of my Index for tf 300 (click to my sig )
And that's right, it's a little part of all TF300 and especially for LTE.
I really don't if you will find one rom for your device.
Really sorry
So still no development for TL version?
I think the TL is the last device of this series, so it's normal that there's to wait some time before you can fine a well cooked ROM..

No custom ROMs for the TF300TL that I know of.
I believe the T/TG ROMS will KILL the LTE part of the TL modem (or possibly completely kill data capability...or worse)
Here is the Asus TF300TL update link:
https://www.asus.com/Tablets_Mobile/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300TL/#support_Download_32
There is a bootloader unlocker, 2 jelly bean ROMs, and the kernel source available for download.
I manually updated the ROM from the Asus site - the OTA system update was not working on the stock ROM loaded.
The trick is to make sure to match the ROM download to the version of the tablet- US, WW, etc.
I have also gotten the latest TWRP to work on the TF300TL - I used the jb blob image for the German LTE TF300TG.
I assume the stock TF300TL image is mostly a TF300T but with a driver for the LTE radio built into the ROM.
If the radio device driver is included in the Asus source - it may be able to be merged.
Has anyone figured out a way to force the native android tethering?
The ATT tethering app keeps dropping connections- and has no options to customize.
I remember when the Nexus 3G (tilapia) first came out there was a way to expose the
android native tethering menu- maybe this has been disabled on the TF300TL stock.

Hi Guys, thank you very much for this great forum and info. Un fortunately i can't get my asus tf300 upgraded.
I have [email protected]_V02 installed, actually i got this tablet pre installed with this firmware, but i run in some problems which i hope are solved when returning to the latest stock firmware or the latest [email protected] firmware.
I read on the forum that i need to upgrade the bootloader etc and i didn;t dare doing that without asking first what i have to do.
So i hope someone can help me upgrade to the latest android version on my tf300. I have android 4.1.1. running on my tablet at the moment
many thanks in advance.

Version 4.1.1is the latest stock version there is. Check your build number. V10.4.2.20 is the latest build from Asus for most regions. If you're not running that version, you might get prompted to install its ota once you connect to the internet, or you can download it from their website.

Curious if anybody has tried the lollipop upgrade from the link below? I"m wondering if it is real.

Yeah... that's fake as can be... hope you didn't downloaded something from there
I forgot the device password to unlock my tablet
