What's the latest US OTA stock rom? I've tried both of the custom roms, but I'm thinking of going back to stock for a while, just to compare again - especially since 3.1 is just around the corner.

1.141.07_COM_GEN1 is the latest I've seen in the wild.
Thats what I ended up grabbing and reflashing. I just can't wait for the 3.1 OTA to be released to see what can be done with it.

rooted, installed cw recovery, installed jt's superclean 0.4 DI01 ROM, what would I do when 2.2 or 2.3 comes out? will I have to wait a couple days for a updated ROM to come out for that version of android? Or would I have to go back to stock?
Wait for a ROM... Much easier than dealing with having to go back to stock just for an ota

this. and you know very shortly after an OTA comes out, or more likely before, it will be released here in multiple flavors. so i wouldn't worry about it.
ok cool. thanks
Thanks for the info....good post. I hope its true and we see it soon. Ignore PhoenixPath he likes to shoot down anyone.... Your thread 100% belongs here.
Would it be expected to have a Froyo 2.2 rom the same day it comes out OTA if Verizon somehow keeps it from being leaked before?

I would think there would at least be a rooted version out the same day. A lot of it will depend on when it is released. If it gets released late at night or during the week, it may take a little longer than if it gets released earlier in the day or on like a Friday.
Another reason not to return to stock to get an update from Verizon: The update may prevent the phone from being rooted again by patching the security loophole that we exploit to gain root.

HI All,
For those who could not update to version V8.4.4.11 OTA, you may now download the V8.4.4.11 directly from Asus website: http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download
follow the instructions from the attached pdf file...
I just tried it and it worked!!! But I lost my root though... I will root it again when I get home...

Thanks Mike,
These manual update files just posted on their site this week. Odd when Asus announcing the TF HC 3.2 starting its rollout tomorrow 7/28...
With the news of the official Honeycomb 3.2 OTA starting tomorrow, if I reloaded with this zip, I'm wondering if it will restore to stock 3.1.
Right now I'm running Revolver 1.1.3 ROM with CWM recovery. I think I would have to reload stock recovery first though then load the zip from Asus's site. That way I can get the 3.2 OTA update when it's pushed out.

If you have rooted using nvflash, then you might be ready for a big shock. I have been trying for days now and to get an OTA ....in vain. it seems that nvflash changed something. the only way was to flash the ota manually now. right now,back to stock i am still on the 3.0.1 rom waiting for a miracle. ( and to clear thing up, when i bought my tab, i did get the .11 update on startup.so the thing that the update might not have hit me is out of question)

Perhaps Asus aren't offering it to you because you are logged at their end already having got it? As usually you wouldn't be going backwards, once you have it, you won't need it offering again.

yes. you have a point here but imo i dont think this is the case. users who have used the previous pure root method recorded no problems whatsoever unrooting and still receiving updates. please understand that i am not critisizing or anything. i am just looking for a solution right now for a 2nd transformer which i intend to pass to someone who wont be loading customs roms.....)
so i'm long-time rooted, been wiping and installing roms over the past few months like crazy, but i'm thinking a dev version of ICS for my 501 won't come out very soon, so i might as well revert back to the latest stock and wait for my oficial update.
so, OTA is, afaik Over The Air, correct? If i just install Acer_A501_4.037.01_EMEA_TMPL from vache's thread, i get happy happy update, no? when it comes, obviously..
thanks

As long as you replace CWM with stock recovery.
derr.. i've got that OTHER recovery with the god of thunder dude.. i'll give it a search
I have been getting this update for my TF101 every few days or so. It downloads an update, then when I click on install update it reboots, starts loading the update and fails halfway through the intall giving me the sad android with the triangle exclamation point. I read on another thread that you have to clear the cache in DMClient, which I do every time this happens. But why does it continue to send me this stupid update? When I followed the previous thread I mentioned, I was able to see that the update was actually meant for the prime, not the TF101. Just wish they would stop sending me an update that makes me get my hopes up for ICS.
Anybody else having this happen?
Maybe you chosen by asus to be a lucky ICS beta tester.

haha, yeah if this is what ICS is going to be like, then no thanks. I am not really having any issues with honeycomb at the moment (after overclocking). But like most everybody else, I can't wait to try out something shiny and new.
Maybe the OP should UNROOT and install a legit ROM in order to be able get the update??

That's probably the way to go, but I've had no luck thus far. I'm on stock Rom with Netformer 1.6 kernel. I tried doing this with OTA Rootkeeper. Unrooted, installed update, got same error. Then rebooted and re-rooted with the OTA Rootkeeper app. Does this mean I need to revert back to original kernel? Everything has been pretty good on Netformer, and it's definitely more snappy than stock.

Which stock ROM are you on? You might be getting the OTAs if you aren't running the latest (8.6.5.21?). The custom kernel probably installed a kernel module that is preventing the update from flashing.
Can you grab the OTA? I'm curious what they are sending you. It will be in /cache/dlpkgfile- you can copy that someplace and upload it. I think these should do it, but PM if you need help with terminal commands.
In terminal, type:
cp /cache/dlpkgfile /Removable/MicroSD/
OR with adb:
adb pull /cache/dlpkgfile
Here's the zip. Maybe you can tell me what this update really is. I guess my current stock Rom version is 8.6.5.19. Sounds like the kernel is preventing me from updating. The real question is, do I want to install any of these updates from Asus? Any disadvantage that you know of?
That file is the US 8.6.5.21 OTA. I lost track of the all the root methods, but I thought that Nachoroot was working with .21. I've never used OTA rootkeeper, so I can't comment on if that will work.
It's kinda odd how you are getting it now? There is a rooted version of the stock rom you can flash via CWM so that you don't have to unroot. It will have the stock kernel and you will keep whatever bootloader you have now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409584
EDIT: doaist has posted CWM friendly versions of the OTAs as well- there are much smaller files since they patch the existing rom. Look in the development forum- The OTA came out around Christmas, so it will be after that.
Thanks for the info. I'll flash the updated rom and see how it goes.

You're running an image that has different hash values than Asus original image has... that is why Asus validation does not work. Hence, you should revert back to the original image Asus provides.
This answer have been given ALOT of times in other threads already.
I rooted mine with nachoroot on the 21 update. It works fine.

I read somewhere on the forums, if you applied an update from asus one time, then you can't get the same again. just flash manual from download site.
Can anyone help me please.
I bought a 2nd hand rooted a500.
successfully flashed to a near stock 3.2.1, but then decided that i wanted to return to stock in order to get OTA updates up to ICS. With a little help on here I managed to flash one of the stock 3.2 roms from vache.
system now
android version = 3.2
kernel version = 2.6.36.3+
build number = Acer_A500_7.006.03_COM_GEN1
as was the aim, however I'm not recieving any OTA updates, system update claims tablet is up to date!
Has anyone experienced this too, or got any ideas where i'm going wrong

You didn't do anything wrong. Acer suspended the ICS updates for awhile. Looks like they may be regionally starting again.
Just wait,.
Thanks for the advice.
I'm trying to be patient, but i'm still not getting the updates.

Have you installed the incona tab update enhancement from the play store
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
Thanks for the reply, yes i had installed the update enhancement from play store.
I have now solved the problem so i thought i'd share what i found.
The problem I had:-
I was rooted, but wanted to go back to stock to try the stock OTA ICS. I flashed a stock 3.2 full package from vache's page. The one I went with was 7.006.01_com_gen1. Carried out successfully, however no updates available when doing the system update search. waited a week still nothing, even tried factory reset to clear everything out.
Solution:-
I got impatient so flashed the unstable 3.0.1 rom intending to root again.
before rooting i tried flashing other stock roms (no reason it shouldn't work i reasoned). Successfully flashed full package 4.010.38_com_gen1 (vache's page). tried OTA updates from there and it was successful!!
OTA'd to 7.006.01, then 7.014.01, then on to ICS
Conclusion:-
the difference appears to be the version of android 3.2, I can only assume that 7.006.03 isn't supported in the UK where as 7.006.01 is. If i'd flashed that one in the first place I assume the updates would have worked.
Hey, can you point me to the files and instructions on how to get this done? I rooted it to 7.006.05 long before using thor rom I believe. Not very familiar with the rooting game, but I'm still unable to get ICS update OTA.
FYI, Acer a500 8gb model US.

My understanding from reading around a few threads is that OTA tends not to work if you are rooted and/or running CWM. Not sure on process of un-rooting as i've not done it. But i'm guessing one solution would be flash a stock version of same rom, then do OTA updates.

this thread has the full packages, i'm not sure which will be the correct one for the US but others on here might be able to help with that.
If you rooted via CWM its really straight forward, I followed these instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205204
just follow 2. and/or 3.
I want to keep root and go to ics. I know I need to install ics bootloader but have not found a solid thread yet, at least not one that I can flash. Anyone that can direct me to a proven method from 3.2 will be appreciated. I am rooted and gave custom recovery installed cwm.
