New Firmware Update 8.6.5.18-20111028 - Eee Pad Transformer General

I just got this update today. I noticed a new market and an app called App Backup. Any other changes?
If this is a duplicate or doesn't belong here....then sorry and please delete.
Edit - cannot get App Backup to work successfully....multiple tries and nothing doing.

I am verifying the existence of the update and am downloading now.. hopefully this one fixes the deep sleep problem at the very least. Thanks for the heads uo sir!

It's new firmware for my TW sku. Seemed to fix the battery drain issue of docked tablet.

Downloading now. USA East.
App backup failed for me as well. Tried data only and app and data. Failed both times...
*Edit* Thanks to Sanderfox for posting the changes in Firmware Update (FOTA) changelog
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19046811&postcount=1066

Apart from the changes mentioned by @weaseltt the browser seems to be properly recognized with 'desktop' user agent string.
Seems to be all positive for now.. I docked mine and re-ran the update but there seems to be no update for the dock firmware.

I can download, but I am rooted so it fails. I wonder if Supercurios repacker would work to turn and Asus update into a clockwork update zip or if someone could repack the update to work with clockwork.

Market seems to work fine so far. The app backup has failed on four tries, however. Will investigate further.

Yes, got the update n HK......

I wonder if App Backup is prepping us for the upgrade to the TF2?
"allows user to backup apps and app data, then restore to another Asus tablet."

No update in Norway yet :-(

Absolutely, and it's brilliant. This kind of thought process is what has me hoping that they've managed to make the current dock compatible with the Prime as well.

Took quite a while to check for updates, and then came back saying no update is available. Servers must be getting hammered.

I'm not sure if anyone's noticed, but the browser seems much faster and responsive loading pages and typing on web pages. Before the lag was atrocious, but it's muuuuuch better now. Pages seem to load more quickly and scroll smoother. Can anyone else confirm?

I am rooted & I was able to download the update. However, the updates does start & the screen shows the file unpacking with the little Android dude. Then the the install fails. There is a triangle with an exclamation mark in the center with the Android dude. I am assuming that this means that the update failed. I am able to reboot thankfully. However how can I install the update?

[ironic-mode-on] Why at EVERY single update since May, users keep saying that "...default browser is much faster....input lag is almost null...very responsive...etc."? [ironic-mode-off]
P.S. I haven't received the update yet, so i did NOT tested it.

Maybe you have changed some system file and now the sanity check of the update fails. You have to wait until someone upload the update .zip file.

Can you copy 'dlpkgfile' out of /cache and post it on here please mate. Then I can mod it so you will be able to flash it and still keep root. The other devs could make use of this too.

I can't really speak for other users, but the stock browser is definitely working and responding faster for me. It could have something to do with the wifi being upgraded in this latest firmware or something they fixed with the browser, but it's definitely noticeable on my end since I use the tablet daily to surf the web. Also it used to take forever to type in text boxes on the stock browser and now for me it's almost instant. Also EVERY user experience is different (most likely since May), so ironic or not it's still a good thing for other users to report what they're experiencing with new firmware upgrades.

weeping and gnashing of teeth to upgrade for dj30 to ea24

Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this but I figured I'd post this experience I had trying to upgrade the firmware on my Sprint Galaxy tab so that other might benefit.
Here goes; I got a brand new galaxy tab with the dj30 firmware on it. I rooted it and did the wifi supplicants trip to get adhoc networks going. Nothing too strange. Then the system tried to auto updated itself to ea24 which I let it. But after I checked it it seems that the upgrade couldn't get through. This process would repeat itself on a regular basis.
I didn't think much about it until I heard that netflix could be played on certain android devices and I of course wanted to play it on my tab. I side loaded it, changed the system props and saw that it still couldn't play. My first attempt to load a custom rom(the ginger for gsm failed, yes I know they're incompatible)which bricked the phone. What then followed was an orgy of flashing anything vaguely related to the tab to get it to at least power on. The only thing that would work was the dj30 base image.
Now I'm back to square one except that my navigation system no longer works so I flash modem.bin from ea24 which fixed the gps. My tab tried to auto update itself to ea24 like it usually tries to do but this time SUCCESS!. Then two more ota updates came after that and worked just as well.
I think flashing the modem might have been what got the upgrade process going.
Sorry if this is a little long I just figured it might be useful to anyone in the same situation.
Can you Pls point me in the direction to get thus modem? I too am having this problem. [email protected]. Pls email it to me if you have. THANKS

Hey Cruton. Seems you and I are in the same position. I'm also stuck on DJ30. Managed to upgrade to rooted gingerbread, but market and browser fc no matter what I try. Your suggestion is something I haven't tried yet. Could you elaborate a bit more? I tried flashing modem.bin (from the EA24 updater) but it freezes up. Do I load it under "phone" in odin? Also, which version were you using?
Cruton. Thank you so much for going through the effort of posting your experience. You have saved my tab. I didn't know what to do anymore. Your trick worked, received all updates OTA and then I received gingerbread OTA. Everything stable and running after two weeks of trying absolutely everything (as I was in EXACTLY the same position as you, so you know how frustrating it is). I wish I could buy you a beer man. Thanks again.

I haven't had trouble with the market or the browser. I believe it was version 1.7 of Odin and I put modem.bin into the Phone section. Interestingly I had to repeat this entire process when the gingerbread update was out. I had to try 3 times with flashing modem.bin because it kept freezing up but it went through eventually. Good luck.

Can't get TouchWiz update!!

I flashed 3.1 OTA (KF3) then tried to update with KIES but no success.
Will update you if I figure out a way

I guess, for some reason 3.1 OTA is an I/O update. So far I/O tab owners haven't received the TW update yet other than that 11 MB update that locked the boot loader. I don't know if there's an 3.1 OTA for the retail version, that can be ODIN to get back the unlocked boot loader and then update the TW. In the mean time, you can install the TW posted by Doc, as I did and wait for the next update for the I/O tab owners, and flash that update when it's available. .
So far everything is working fine, even the Google movies, except for Plex. One of the guy, Darrin at Plex forum said that the fix won't be coming in near future. May be they should share their codes with some dev on xda, and I'm sure the issue would be resolved a week or so.

The one there seems to be from the IO version. Once you flash that one, you get the update for google movies, but not the touchwiz update.
I tried this stock 3.1 several times already but always get the 11mb update. I'm going to return CWM to stock and see if that changes anything.
I'm going to give it another go!
Please let us know as soon as you find out
Had the same problem after installingfile called hc ota 3.1 from one of the forums.
I had to restore to my last backup (original 3.1) and then declined 11.2MB update, connected my device to kies and getting update throw it.

Same output. Still getting the 11mb OTA and Kies does not allow updating or even transferring files.
I finally gave the UEKMB+ROOT a try but I deleted the superuser.apk to unroot it
Works perfectly and KIES does say I'm running the latest firmware version and now able to transfer files using it
Hopefully when they release the next firmware I can use OTA.

I got mine at BB when it first came out but I installed the Touchwiz ROM from here and then decided to go back to stock so I could get the official OTA but unsuccessful.

I'm using UELMB+Root, and I have the movie tab in the market. What you can do is, go to accounts and sync in the settings, remove the account and add it again. Also, clear data for market and videos application. Then open the market app, follow on screen instruction. Then open videos and choose your google account. I guess this should fix it. If not, go to CWM, clear cache and dalvik cache. Then reboot.

One X to rule them all
Not sure if WiFi Direct was in the settings before but its in there now and you can turn it on.
If you didn't have Play Store it replaces the Android Market icon with Play Store and appears to add/replace Play Books, Play Music and Play Movies.
Not sure what else it does under the hood. Someone confirm that WiFi Direct was in there before?
Updated the versions for GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth among others...
look good for now,
but the vpn l2tp shared key is still not working. I need that.
When updating the firmware, what's the step by step procedure of using OTA root keeper to avoid losing root? Thanks!

If they based the kernel build on the source tree for the TF101G, mempodroid is gone and unless you backed up su with OTA RootKeeper you'll lose root permanently - that is, until some other local privilege escalation vulnerability pops up (which could take a veeeeery long time).

At least we know they didn't even take the time to look at the .config changes I sent them. Sheesh.
Bottomline: you'll have to wait until the sources for this kernel are out, then you'll have two options:
add CONFIG_L2TP=y to their shipped .config and rebuild the kernel for yourself (tricky)
wait until someone else on XDA does it if you don't like playing with cross-compilers and the like
Oh, you'll need root and CWM as well
I haven't tried to download it bc I am at work, so it is waiting for me when I get home but what Android o/s is it? Still 4.0.3 or did they take initiative and put 4.0.4 on it like the Xoom recently got that seemed to fix all their problems?

[Q] What a joke Anybody eles still not got the ICS update in UK

Anybody eles still not got the ICS update in UK getting to be a bit of a joke this now
why is it a joke, the update will come. I'm just wondering if people who buy android do not release that the updates roll out in batches and can take time before they get it.
Yea, they can't feasiabally roll out the update to everyone at the same time, it'd overload their update servers.
You'll get it, probabally within a week, just be patient.
Still no update for me in UK, been trying for about 2 weeks, lost the poor signal problem, and back to uptodate message, must admit it would be nice if Acer was forthcoming with a bit of information.
The rollout started on the 27th april 24th for others no support what so ever from acer in the uk no infomation has to why some users in the uk have not got it thats why its a JOKE and yes i do no it is in order it goes by the devices serial number and i started this thread to get replys from people in the uk who havent got the update so i would no if anybody eles was still waiting not from people to tell me to be patient and that i do not no how acer roll's out there updates thankyou very much
I'm in the UK, on stock 3.2,never rooted and never flashed custom ROMs and still haven't received the ICS even after installing the Enhancement app. Sent Acer UK an email and one of the solutions suggested by the rep was to reset the device to factory settings which I refused to go ahead with. It took me a long time to get the home screens the way I wanted them and apps installed. So,for someone to suggest factory reset is out of the question. I'd rather stay on Honeycomb till Windows 8 devices starts showing up,meaning no more android tablets for me. This is my 2nd Tablet and I've been absolutely disappointed.

So you ***** about not getting the upgrade but refuse to do what was suggested by the manufacturer to facilitate the upgrade? And it's Acer's fault?
If you want ICS that badly then dl one of the many stock ICS roms and do it manually. No need to root either.

In all fairness we shouldn't have to factory reset are device and reinstall all the apps and get are home screens back how we had them just to receive a update from Acer in most cases anyway it does not work it didn't for me i did a factory reset, it sorted my issue out with the market not upgrading to play store but that was it still no ICS so factory reset doesn't always work that is just Acers answer to a lot of problems when the customer rings or emails regardless of the fault 9 times out of 10 this does solve the issue but i don't see the relevance to doing a factory reset so we can download the update from acers servers the problem is acers fault not the customer and not the device so i would ***** aswell if i was told to reset and reinstall all my data with no 100% guarantee that it would update to the ICS the stock ics roms are they fully working or is there still issues with the orientation and wifi ?

Thanks for that response. Some ppl do not understand that not everyone is technically gifted in terms of installing custom ROMs or tweaking software on devices. One has to be very patient by following instructions to the letter and still, some end up bricking their devices.

I agree that a full reset should not be required, but complaining your unit is not getting OTA then not even trying what was suggested and blaming someone else is just silly. Now if the reset did not work THEN I would be complaining non-stop to whoever would listen.
I run OTA on wifes A500 and custom Flexreaper (atm) on my A500 (had Icylicious on previously).
Put custom on mine the day I got it as I didn't want to wait for OTA because I'm an impatient SOB.
The 1.031 leaked rom on here is the same rom my wifes tab was updated to OTA. So simply extracting the update.zip to sd card and flashing via power+vol button is the same as getting it OTA from Acer.
1. Download zip from http://vache-android.com/v1/download.php?fileID=151
2. Unzip and extract update.zip from archive
3. Transfer update.zip to root of your micro sd card
4. Power up tablet holding power + vol (closest to power button) until you see something like "booting recovery kernal image" in upper left
5. Tablet will update to ICS and reboot.
All your apps and settings will remain as is.

Believe me, I am certainly not "technically gifted" in any way, shape or form. LOL
It simply comes down to following instructions (sometimes having to read them 3 or 4 times as not everyone's first language is English) written by the developers.

In all fairness we shouldn't have to factory reset are device and reinstall all the apps and get are home screens back how we had them just to receive a update from Acer in most cases anyway it does not work it didn't for me i did a factory reset, it sorted my issue out with the market not upgrading to play store but that was it still no ICS so factory reset doesn't always work that is just Acers answer to a lot of problems when the customer rings or emails regardless of the fault 9 times out of 10 this does solve the issue but i don't see the relevance to doing a factory reset so we can download the update from acers servers the problem is acers fault not the customer and not the device so i would ***** aswell if i was told to reset and reinstall all my data with no 100% guarantee that it would update to the ICS the stock ics roms are they fully working or is there still issues with the orientation and wifi ? CyaN1de are you running one of these stock roms or are you running ota thanks

Apparently the 1.031 has been OTA'd in both Europe and Canada that I have heard of (was originally reported as European release only) Take a read in the Dev section, I am sure the same question has been asked regarding compatibility with certain gen's.
I am not up on what the different gen's are but I believe the differences are in the locale settings such as wifi and gps and such.
Still trying to figure these all out.

Its here in Uk (East Midlands),Got mine this morning 1/2hr download,10mins install, first reactions, dissapointing,expected more, yes display seems higher res, not yet noticed any other major changes but not used fully yet, so all you still waiting dont expect a lot.
i STILL haven't received my ics update in corby (uk) its starting to really get on my nerves now! feeling like I'm the only 1 waiting lol..don't want to use a leaked 1 as I'm not 100% with where to put it etc when u extract bla bla. I'm pretty good with my tablet normally but so wouldn't trust myself with updating the firmware manually

new OTA update

Got a an update today for my US tf300. It failed like it always does since I'm root and now I can't redownload or try to install again, like it always does.
So for the ones who get the ota, please upload the file! It should be in /Cache
It will be a few days before a full flash is out.
Want proof? I can show a screenshot but it doesn't say anything besides an update is out. I couldn't get the date in the screenshot. Just take my word for it.
Side note: clearing cache and data for the dm and cm client does not work if an ota fails at install. Stop telling people it does.
i got the update
I have the update installed, I don't see any changes right now. Will advise if anything comes up.
I will try to pull it off of my cache & upload to all.
MK
I also made a post about the ota update today. Unfortunately for you I already installed the update and my cache is empty. Sorry.

update 10.4.2.13... Kept my root as well. I seriously hope it stabilizes the LAGGY JB update.
Update worked and root restored.
Steps taken:
- Unfroze all apps
- Confirmed root backup existed, then temp unrooted.
- Rebooted
- Applied update
- Re-applied root

FYI for others. No need to 'temp unroot'.... Just make sure you have a ota rootkeeper backup for pete's sake.
oh and nullzorz, your avatar is disturbing.
Don't really notice much difference

Well, I can report that the new update seems to have fixed the camera issue that had popped after the last update (JellyBean).
Before I couldn't take more than two or so pictures before I got a "messed" up picture or a all green picture. I just took 10 consecutive pictures with no issues.
Can anyone that had LAGGY JB before report what they see and if any of it is fixed? I'll post my results after I have played around with it enough too.
Got the OTA update in România, installed it just fine. I'll see if anything is different (the only thing mentioned was "stability fixes" or something like that). Anyway, Asus moved quickly .
Later edit: Guys, don't forget to do a cold boot after each update.

Not sure what's changed but the bugs I had concerned the HDMI output, are still there. Notification bar gets cut off and sound doesn't work on one of my TVs (works on other tv).
Anyways was able to restore root with RootKeeper and SuperSU easily.
My update instalation failed also. I have rooted my tf300 what can i do?
I got a laying android with a red sign and my tablet restarted and said it failed.

Did you have any frozen/removed apps? Had you modified your build.prop?
Edit: Did the update change the font? It seems slighly off :S

Take a look at the logfile here in /cache/recovery . IT will tell you WHY it failed. You can follow this thread to reapply the OTA manually BUT you will need to find the dlpkgfile matching this update. Someone will post it.... If they haven't already.

Yes, I also received the OTA update, right now. At the first sight, no difference. But using it you will see some improvements, I hope. I'm playing with it just half an hour, but I've noticed at least one change for good: the streaming internet TV works well again. I can see the motion picture in SPB TV app that broadcasted only voice after the first JB update.
But the MyLibrary remained buggy It shows the cover pages of the books, but when I open one, the app closes itself...
By the way, the update must be an incremental one (not full ROM), because it was downloaded very quickly, 1-2 minutes.
Anyway I'm glad that the repair OTA came quite soon! Let's try it heavily to see what changed and what not and gather our experience here!

Finding after JB update
Got the JB update OTA today. I'm on the ww-version, stock, not rooted.
First impression: smooth running - found bug, though. The clock showing in the down right corner is not updating correctly; updates once every 10-15 minutes. System clock is and lock screen clock are OK, so it's a sw issue with this update (at least on mine). It worked as it should before the update. Did a cold boot and factory reset routine, even though the factory reset should not be necessary.
Cheers

The clock issue is actually worse on my tablet than above described: the down right clock and the clock showing when opening the "dialogue box" are showing different times. The down right clock hasn't updated for 1/2 hr now and the clock within the "box" hasn't updated for an hour. To me this is a serious error - have reported it to Asus via their website.
I used to have that clock problem on ICS.
