Hi,
Automatic update does not seem to work (says no updates found) so I've downloaded the latest official 3.1 image from Asus' FTP server.
However I can't manage to install it.
Put the WW_epad-user-8.4.4.5.zip to the Device Storage root through windows.
Then I reboot the eee Pad (got so frustrated that i confused it with an iPad :S) with Volume Down + Power pressed. Then pressing up.
Then I get a progressbar for around a second before a warning triangle shows up.
Any suggestions?

Its not an Ipad for starters... >,< ''' ok so you get the file you downloaded and go deeper into it until you find the other zip. Then you just put it on your SD card and pop the SD card in your TF. a little triangle with ! should pop up on notification bar. click it and it should tell you to install update. Dont reboot it until it tells you too.
Hi,
Thanks for the info. I put the second zip on the root of the micro sd card (fat32).
However, when I insert the card the TF just says "preparing external storage" and then nothing happens.
Current build is HRI66.WW_epad-8.2.3.9-20110423

Power on and voloume down button is for CWM installs so you have made it a bit confusing as to how you are trying to flash the update.
If you have downloaded an official update then you flash it by unzipping the file so that you have a folder named asus in the root of your storage card which contains all the update. You must have this folder or it wont recognise the update but make absolutely sure its the correct update for your model or you may end up with a brick.
Restart the tablet with the storage card plugged in and you should get a notification of an udpate.
I recieved my tablet with the docking keyboard on thursday, rooted, flashed CWM and updated to Honeycomb 3.1 within an hour.
Mark.
Hi, I'm in the same situation as you were : I'm not given the 3.1 update, and i can't find it on ftp.asus.com : there is 8.2.2.6 8.2.3.9 and 8.2.3.13, but no 8.4.4.5, where did you find yours ?
Has it been removed ???

Thanks for clarifying the situation. The ASUS folder was where I went wrong. I just put the extracted zip directly on the root.
MrTweety: The 8445 files are found here as described in another thread: ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF101/

You have to remember that there are different regional versions i.e. us, ww, tw. You can check your version by going to settings and then about. I believe you would need the ww version and I wouldnt recommend flashing a different regional update as it may affect your wifi signal.
If you want ww 3.1 version then you can follow the tutorial in the development section which has a patched stock 3.1 version that works very well.
If you want a stock update then you will have to wait until you get a notification on your
transformer that an update is available.
Mark.
Thanks Mskip. (one more for your counter)
In fact I knew abour regions, I har a ww 2.4.4.5 tablet and i downgraded it into ww2.3.3.13 (so no glitch there, and no problem with wifi channels), but since then (2 days) no notification.
Maybe it's been removed, maybe the server for ww users is down....
Anyway, I prefer a non patched rom for the time being, so i'm downloading the ww 8.4.4.5 that's sill present on the taiwanese asus ftp (alongside with other versions).
But I really wonder why the hell i'm not notified or i can't get the ota update.
The automatic update did not work for me either.
Could be some kind of issue with Asus update services and 3.0.1 devices.
Especially if they removed the update from the global FTP.

Only thing differnet was that on step 5, I got the android robot standing next to an "Exclamation mark in a triangle" (caution) icon. Simply pressed Power and Volume Up and got the option to install the update. click on update.zip. The phone will restart once and you will see the android outside a box, dont press anything.
Installed fine.]

-Found that the total internal (app) memory is still 196MB and RAM is still 212MB, makes sense as the kernel is still .29, Have to wait for the next update I guess.
-No problems with any existing apps. (I did an Astro backup earlier anyway). Phone works fine too. (ATT EDGE)
-Multi touch works fine in the Maps app
-Looks like the Launcher2 FC bug is fixed, I could not reproduce the bug. (does not mean I'm leaving Home++ though )

Thank You! Worked perfectly!
Worked great, thanks a lot! Does anyone know where to find the full changelog of this update? I can't seem to find one for the life of me. :s Thanks.
I didn't find one either.
Signature Verification Failed
I have a rooted Nexus One but no custom ROM installed on it. I pushed the Cyanogen Browser to gain Multi-Touch before the update came out. I downloaded the correct file and changed the name to update.zip on the top level of my SD card. I go into the booloader, then go to recovery, i get the android standing next to the exclamation mark and hit the buttom combination required. I select the update through SD card option and it starts then gives me a "signature verification failed" message. Any clue as to what I could do to apply the update?

Thats the one that I used.
24 hours with the tab...
I am new to the tab and i am not going to root yet. I want to use it as ASUS intends it to be, for right now.
Anyways, it came 3.0.1, and i when i ask it to update it tells me no new updates are available. Battery is fully charged, wifi signal is great.
Anything else i can do?
PS- I am saving a review until i get the update, but typing this message was at best frustrating.
Cheers!
Im trying to figure this out as well. Im planning on calling Asus today and ask for help I'll share how to do it as soon ask figure it out

Download the update manually from the Asus website, save it in your TF's internal memory, then try going to the update page and it should detect the file and allow you to install it. If it doesn't come up straightaway try rebooting your TF and try the update page again.

Something isn't right because your tablet should update automatically once it gets a connection.
I think you an install the update manually.
1)Download the firmware from Asus, unzip it and put the contents for the ASUS/Updates/ folder on the root directory of the external SD card. Rename it to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip
2) Boot into recovery - hold volume down, press power button. Your TF will turn on and say it's going to blow up in 5 secs. Press volume up within 5 secs. Don't delay because you could wipe your data if you press volume up too late.
3) get some popcorn and watch the magic happen. Afterwards, it will reboot, you'll see a progress bar to indicate that it is flashing. Then it should boot into sweet honeycomb.
4) Delete or rename the EP101_SDUPDATE.zip for something else, or else it will flash every time you go to stock recovery.
Edit: I think the firmware has to match your current build, i.E., US, TW, WW. Check your build info to be sure.

Agreed. I misunderstood the directions at first - my fault for being a noob. I ended up using the full SD slot on my dock, but the math was the same.

Did you download through Acer or an update on this site?
If you downloaded the update from this site.......
Have you decrypted the update first. What country are you in, as this may not be the latest update.
From system update, it downloads itself and goes to reboot then hangs up with triangle and exclamation sign, I am in USA.
I am same as OP except I am at ver .10. I am unrooted.
what GEN are you both? Look in settings...about tablet build number (very bottom of about)
I encountered some problem with this update as well just this morning. I check for updates via the settings menu and found this new build .13, I ran the updated and it went through the motions of the install. It went to the android logo with the spinning gears and around 95-98% of the install status bar, it appeared that the install had gotten stuck. The android logo gears was no longer spinning and the progress bar seemed to have stopped moving. I rebooted it, got to the lock/unlock screen but was stuck...I couldn't unlock the device. Rebooted several times but got the same results. I reverted back to a copy of .11 that I have saved on my mini sd and got it unstuck. Ran the update again and progress got stuck around 95-98%. I waited longer this time and the device rebooted on it's own. Got the acer logo and then screen went black...sat there for a few more minutes until I decided to turn the device off and turn it on again. It booted fine this time around, I then received the "Update was successful" status and "APK successfuly loaded" status. Check the info under settings and sure enough my a500 is now on build 4.010.13.
So going back to your original post, it appears that the only way you can get past the triangle with an exclaimation point status is to run an update.zip of build 4.010.11. Look through this post...

Like I said, I'm GEN 1 bought in the US. I updated with that file, and the GPS.conf file in it is set to north america, not Australia, so take it as you will, but that's a north America update.
I was able to get the 4.010.13 update to install from 4.010.11. I'm very surprised as I couldn't get 4.010.10 to install no matter what I tried (I was on 4.010.08 initially. To get .11 on my A500 I downloaded the encrypted .zip from this XDA forum.
My initial update try of .13 failed. I was rooted, so I went into Acer Recovery and flashed the stock recovery image, then I un-rooted. I then downloaded the .13 update, plugged the A500 in and installed. The little progress meter hung at about 90% installed for a couple of minutes, but then it shut down, rebooted and the update was successful.
Then I immediately re-rooted, of course
Here is a link to today's .13 US update:
http://cdn.acer.futuredial.com/Acer_A500_0.000.00_4.010.13_COM_GEN2_1311738150515_bde864c2.zip
Mine hung at the bee/triangle screen as well.. though i was able to hold power button for 2 seconds to shut it off. Upon powering it back up it booted fine back into .11 and gave a message that the update failed.
Curious to see what's in these 14 megs...
edit... tried to look in that zip but keep getting error message about it being corrupted.. anyone else have success in looking under the hood?
edit#2- using acer recovery i put my recovery back to stock and applied update successfully... I did NOT have to flash the rom over again.
can't install OTA 4.10.13
Hi all,
I am in California, my acer got OTA update to 3.1 build number 4.010.07 Gen2
I root my acer for using NTFS driver, still got OTA update to 4.010.10, Yesterday, I installed acer recovery and Clockworldmod, to day I got OTA update to 4.10.13 but it failed, I uninstall acer recovery and repeat update it failed, How can I remove Clokworldmod to get OTA 4.010.13?, can I install 4.010.13 without OTA?
Thanks in advance

No offense intended, but what does your post have to do with what I said. I bought my unit in the US. It is a GEN1, and the update I just did was a GEN1 as well. The update has a north american gps.conf file from North America, which makes me good to go.
So my question for you is (no offense intended), but why did you post that to me??
4.010.11 -> 4.010.13 ota
Here's what I had to do to get from .11 to .13 - in case it might help others
Un-root not needed, just need to replace CWM with stock recovery.
Use Acer Recovery to restore recovery to 4.010.11 stock recovery - if you didn't take a backup then the "stock" option on the bottom may work for you - haven't tested though
Accept and download OTA .13 update - at reboot it will patch (noticed a different screen for this update than I'm used to seeing - a green droid with gears in it - used to seeing the bee/box - odd)
Use Acer Recovery to install CWM again
In other news Netflix still works with the Transformer patch, haven't really tested anything else.
Just saw on here that .13 was availabe, so I check my tab and it was indeed there (currently .11 GEN2).
Downloaded and hit install and the tablet shutdown (did not go into recovery). Had to hold power button for a few seconds to boot up, then it went into stock recovery (In afterthought, I would have sworn I had CWM installed, but maybe not..)
Like others said, it seemed to hang around 90%, but I just left it alone for a few minutes and it finished and rebooted. Now at 4.010.13_COM_GEN2.
PS. Did not lose root when updating.

perhaps because gen1 does not refer to the hardware unit.
Mine was bought at a staples in PA not all that far from you and came with gen1 software onboard. The official OTA for 3.1 was gen2.
Don't assume you are gen1 for life....
There are different code trains for a reason here.. the numbering does not make sense to the average user. For instance, in the US we have to deal with the FCC. That reason in particular is why we have different wifi drivers than other parts of the world. We can't use all of the channels that the rest of the world can because the FCC hasn't approved them all. The differences in roms from one region of the world often revolve around such regulatory differences.
The rom version you have loaded took your tab's software outside of the US code train. The fact you posted a network time protocol server showing a US link hardly means anything since NTP uses UTC regardless of where you are in the world. I'm sure we could document a large number of items that work perfectly normal for you on that rom as well. It's the regulatory stuff you are probably on the outskirts of right now.
But hey, if you're happy on that rom, more power to you. Please however stop telling people that code is part of the US codetrain when it is not though.

Ok so i unzip and put on external SD card - do the power-Volup button and it will update - will this totally undo my system - or will it simply update the tablet without any other changes.....never did manual update - but waiting for the lottery update of Acer is irritating.
Maybe after a bit i won't be so skittish but being Windows person you can understand.
The update will only update your system, you will lose root if you have it, and your files, configurations and apps remains intact.
Yes, you have to put the update.zip file in your external_sd and use Power Vol- to flash it.

It will not wipe out your data, it will unroot you device. Everything else should (should) be intact. Always backup your data first anyway.

I have the .13 GEN2 in the US. Tried using the GEN2 update to 3.2 by placing the update.zip on my sdcard and updating with stock recovery. I get the android symbol with gears turning for a couple seconds, then I get the triangle/exclamation. I am completely stock. Any idea what could be wrong?

I am currently still stuck on version HTJ85B.WW_epad-8.6.6.9-20110804.
I have not received any update notifications since the 3.2 update mentioned above (and I have pushed the Check Update button a lot lately).
I have also tried to install a newer version via the SOP method (download latest available version, UpdateLauncher_WW_epaduser8659.zip, from Asus, unzip to root of sdcard in ASUS/Update folder etc). unfortunately that does not work either. I have not rooted, just been running the official version of the OS.
I have cold booted the device and finally done a full factory reset. Still no update notification, and manual install via SOP is still not working either.
Does anyone have any idé how I can fix this?
When you say the root of the SD card, you are talking about an external micro SD card correct?, as that is the only way it will work...

Yes, I have used an external micro SD card for this.
I have tried it both in the plates SD slot and also in the SD slot in the keyboard dock.

This is strange
As it turns out, the HTJ85B.WW_epad-8.6.6.9-20110804 version I have installed probably was installed when I had my Transformer sent in for service(my screen died). Not sure how they could make a mistake like that, but thats what it looks like.
This explains why I do not get any OTA notifications and why I do not succeed manually installing a new firmware version for the TF101, since it is expecting a version for the TF101G.
Note: I do in fact have the TF101 without 3G!
I went ahead with installing the latest version available on the ASUS site for the TF101G version via SOP, and that actually worked! (UpdateLauncher_WW_epaduserV8_6_6_10.zip)
Hopefully this will not cause any issues.
Is it possible for me to rollback/reinstall the correct version of the firmware for my TF101, instead og the TF101G version? I would prefer that since I will not get OTA notifications otherwise.
Anyone have any thoughts about how to fix that?
tHIS SHOULD HELP, IN CASE your tab has pre-b7 serial i.e b4,b5,b6(check at bottom base). it will format all partitions in nvflash mode, the process is automated.

Thanks mughalgxt!
That was exactly what I needed, worked perfectly ;-)
I also got the notification for 3.2.1 soon after I had flashed to the correct firmware for my TF101.
Awesome!
