Asus support site for firmware updates all specify android 3.1 but I am running 3.0.1
My firmware version is v8.2.3.9 and I would like to update to latest version but the site won't let me. I believe I need this because my keyboard dock stops working after about one minute. Everything I've found says that this is probably a firmware issue and can be fixed by going to v8.4.4.5(US). How do I update my firmware if I'm on 3.0.1 ? When I check for system updates in my Settings it says I am up to date. Shouldn't my system have OTA updated by now? I've had this thing for a week.
yeah, I had this problem too, I just downloaded 3.1 and manually updated it i waited a full day waiting for it to update but it wouldnt
have you tried going into settings and manually checking for an update?
Same with me, OTA didnt happen, so I just downloaded from Asus and moved over on micro sd card
Tried checking for updates. Says i am up to date. Does micro sd card have to be blank?
Nope. Just copy it to root of the card

Thanks! Keyboard problem can be "fixed" by detaching then re-ataching the tablet to the dock. Sometimes have to do this several times an hour so I think it may be hardware related. Have contacted ASUS so will probably wait for response before proceeding further. Thanks, again.
*update*
Got frustrated with ASUS. They never responded to my emails. Returned dock to Best Buy hoping that was the problem. New dock had same problem. Returned tablet for exchange. New tablet + new dock = problem solved. Now running 3.1 and everything is fine. I guess I got a lemon with the first purchase. Thanks to everyone for the advice. Glad problem was solved as I really like my transformer.
I got my Acer iconia two days ago and I'm very impress with its performance I'm running back 2 basic rom with custom kernel and very happy with but my question is if I delete any of the stock app would my tablet stop getting stock updates from Acer???
Thanks in advance
you are rooted running a rom...why would you want an acer update?
I'm surre the next acer update will be ics..and someone will post a rooted rom 3seconds later.
What you are telling me sounds right thanks for the reply and another question when connect my android cellphone to my Acer tab I cannot get it to recognize it is there I have to do for that???

Not quite sure that will work.
I just connected mine, and usually use Drive Mount to connect to external drives, and it will not recognize the phone either.
So, maybe it cannot be done?
Hey guys, I think i may have bricked my SGN.
I rooted via adb and then flashed the abyss kernel followed by stunner ics rom. But when i restarted through CWM the phone never restarted and now it won't even turn on. No download mode either and i've tried every possible trick including the wall outlet.
Phone won't turn on at all. Is this considered hard bricked and has anyone found a solution to this. Will a USB jig work on this.
Also, the stunner ics 4.5 beta showed successfull at CWM so i'm not sure what happened. Battery was fully charged too.
Try taking out the battery for a few minutes, put it back again and try entering download mode again.
What's sky ics rom?

You didnt follow the instructions ti install the rom so you now have a brick
Try pluggingn it top the pc , if you hear some noises on the pc then your noté is alive

Well, did you try a USB-jig to force your Note into Download-Mode?
Than you should be able to flash a stock and start over again.
Did you let your Note do the first startup at his own, I've read that the first start may took a bit longer and shouldn't be interrupted?

Well, i was in CWM and then installed the rom then pressed restart phone on CWM menu. Went downstairs and when I came back it didn't turn on.
if it doesn't turn on at all is it a hard brick?
I ordered a usb jig from amazon for $7.00 and it will arrive tomorrow, I heard the usb jig only works on soft bricked phones though and since mines won't even turn on will there be any chance at all of it working?
Hey guys I just realized what went wrong. I download the N7000 Galaxy note roms and kernels instead of the i717 (ATT) versions. Stupid me!

Default Bricked Galaxy Note N7000 or Incorrect ROM Flash Easy Fix
Ok simple you won't see nothing on the screen because the bootloader is wrong.....
Just put the battery in then do following.
1. hold vol down+home+power for 15 seconds...
2. release then press volume up...
Note: Don't worry about seeing anything on the screen or any keys light
it will be blank this is because bootloader is incorrect
3. open odin you should see comxx in listed flash the original bootloader back
into phone this will/should resume visual display.
I have attached necessary files to resume
Load File in PDA NOT BOOTLOODER
4. Wait 10 seconds.. Remove Battery Then Boot Back into Bootloader following steps 1&2
5. finally flash Stock Rom to resume the whole phone to original state.
Hope That Helps......see hear for post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23052721#post23052721

thanks for the help. i read that on another post and already tried it. unfortunately its a no go.
Just came back from att center and they said that they couldn't replace it for me on the spot because they don't have the phone in stock since its a newer phone. I gotta call the number they gave me now.
Sorry you've run into such a serious issue, but in a few way it's probably quite a good thing it's a hard brick.... It's likely you would have had a raised flash counter and the fact they can't power it on there and then is a bit of a God sent.
Hope you get a replacement soon mate :thumbup:

hey, im supposed to send my phone in to them and so your saying that when i send it in they won't be able to find out that i flashed a custom rom and kernel on it?
and im not sure if its such a good thing because if it was at least soft bricked i wouldve been able to fix it most likely. thanks for your help

First of all I think It wouldnt have raised the binary counter and give triangle because you didnt use Odin to flash (Am I right?).
Second thing Thought it had given you a triangle since your phone is dead.
So they cant find that you flashed a custom kernel or the binary.

I don't get it. I know some people aren't happy with the changes in s-notes. But there's a huge difference in usability with and without the OTA. I turned in my 16 GB version that had the OTA, for a 32 GB version. The OTA was pulled, so I ended up going 2 weeks without the OTA. Thanks to XDA I was able to reinstall the OTA. Wow, what a difference. To be honest, the note was not near as good a machine without the o t a. I can see where some of the bad reviews came from... There was quite a bit of stuttering while scrolling in any browser I used. Very annoying bugs with the folders. ExFAT did not work. I had several force closes, something I've never had with the OTA. The Note just runs so much better and smoother with the update... I know jelly bean is coming out soon, but why would samsung pull an OTA that made the note 10.1 so much better?
They were getting a lot of complaints about people losing s pen with the OTA. They probably figured JB was coming soon so why bother and they yanked it.
You can always go into Development and find it if you dont mind being rooted.

what do you mean when you say "people losing s pen?"
Did they take out the S Notes app?
Was the pen not functioning well?
From what I've read on some devices the update made the s pen stop working.

No, the pen would physically fall out of the holder and get lost
J/K, I think it would just stop working. I've not had my Note long enough to experience any issues with it, so I couldn't say for sure

I have downloaded the file and it is a little less than 1 GB. I have unzipped it and it is now almost 1.5 GBs and I have done all this on my Galaxy Note but I can't find any way to get it to run/install. What am I missing here? Thanks.

First, go to the development section and read all the stickys. Twice. Don't hold anyone but yourself responsible if you brick your device. You do not need to root or have any custom recovery to use the following procedure. In fact, your Note should be bone stock. Make sure you have an 8013. (The US WiFi only version.) Next, download and unzip the file from your PC, not your Note. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES PUT A CHECK MARK IN THE "RE-PARTITION" BOX IN ODIN.
Credit to BarryH_GEG for the following quote:
1- Download and install Odin 1.85. Make sure you have Kies installed first because it installs the necessary USB drivers.
2- Extract the ROM .zip file and put it on your desktop or somewhere easy to find.
3-Run Odin as adminstrator.
4-Click on the PDA button in Odin and find the ROM file you want to load on to your Note. It's an MD5 file. Leave everything else as-is.
4a. Power down your Note.
5-Put your Note in to download mode by pressing power and volume down at the same time. Use the volume up button to select download mode. A little green Android should show up on the Note's screen.
6-Connect your Note via USB to your PC. The box under ID:COM in Odin should turn yellow.
7-Click start in Odin. Odin will show you what it's doing in the message box and you'll see a progress bar on your Note. When it's done, disconnect your Note from the PC and it should reboot itself with the update.

I used this procedure to update my note 10.1. It worked perfectly, just like an update from kIes. Make sure you are not rooted before you do this. Your note must be bone stock with no modifications. This procedure did not wipe my note, all my apps and data were intact after the update.
Make sure you read up on using Odin before you try this. Also, read up on the ota to make sure you want it. It fixes a lot of problems, but some people don't like the new s notes. For me, the ota makes the note so much better that it's a complete no brainer.
There is also a pre rooted version of this fIrmware in the development section.
Thanks it worked like a charm.
Thanks for posting this. I may try this this week. I do use s-notes all of the time when I'm reading my textbooks for school so I am afraid to lose functionality. Would it be possible to go back to the ROM I'm on if it does break my snote?

Sorry, I can't answer that. I just posted help I got elsewhere in the forum. I've not heard of anyone on the forum losing the S-pen from updating, as long as they were stock. If you're rooted or have a custom recovery, you need to seek help from someone smarter than myself bbefore you attempt this. If you are stock, maybe post a question in the questions section, asking if anyone lost the s-pen upgrading rom a stock Note. That way you can assess your risk.

No unless you want to be rooted..
It wasnt just rooted users that lost the s-pen. I was stock unrooted and lost it. Also had to reboot everytime my device went to sleep if I wanted to unlock the screen. It was a pain and had to get a replacement from Amazon.
Im using the pulled firmware and havent experienced any pen problem. Could it be a random event

Hey guys ! I am using cm12 unofficial 5.0 lollipop ROM for i9500 for 3 weeks already . My phone started to act very strange and I strongly think it's the ROM who did it. Firstly, I had problem with charging and I changed the charging port with one brand new, now I have even bigger problems with charging and MOREOVER after few days after that my back and menu buttons stopped working, I'm done with CM . All I want to do is flashing any official ROM and never come back to cm. BUT LIKE IF THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH, Odin does not recognize my phone anymore. I have enabled the USB debugging and ofc I have Samsung drivers, it is not a PC problem, I am using same pc and USB cable to flash officialbrom as I did to flash cm ROM ! Help me guys I'm desperate and I hope it is not too late.

Any ideas ? im desperated.
If the S4 was working for a few weeks with CM12 and now you're suddenly experiencing all these issues, it's extremely unlikely the ROM is the cause of all of it. Take your S4 to the service center. Especially as Odin isn't recognizing the device.
Eh, i took it to a expert where i repaired all of my phones. He said CM is very toxic and i should get rid off it as fast as possible, till is not too late, ofc i don't trust him too much( i'm, sure u know that kind of expert who doesn't trust unofficial sources or smth like that ), but i hate everything happened so suddenly and that strange problem.
EDIT: TAKE IN COUNT THAT : All of my problems appeared few hours after i changed the charger port ! I will buy another charging port and i really hope it will solve my problem, but it's very strange that i tried 3 PCs and no one of them recognize that phone, it's frustrating.
Well, I personally don't recommend CyanogenMod either, but not because their ROMs don't work. Besides, for the S4, Cyanogenmod really isn't relevant. While I can understand why people like it, the S4 is one of the few devices that had a Google Play Edition made available for it. You get 100% functional drivers from Samsung, coupled with Touchwiz-free Android. If you install the custom GPE ROM in Development you can customize the ROM to do things like replacing Google Now Launcher with Apex, and not dealing with the Google apps you never use.
Once you get your phone sorted out, whether by finally getting it recognized in a PC or by having it serviced, install Danvdh's custom GPE ROM and be happy. Especially as you don't have to worry about CyanogenMod.
Eh I can take care of that after but now I need some help because I tried everything.
I already told you what you have to do: send the phone in for service.
You sir are unsuited for flashing custom roms. You are blaming hardware failure on the rom you are using. CM has nothing to do with the issues your are having.
Last tip don't consult that expert anymore. CM is far from toxic. It just has more bugs then the stock because it's coded form scratch. So it's a work in progress.
It's probably a hardware failure.
Eh, I can't be sure yet, I all change charging port and see what is going on with that buttons and come back to tell you.

Some words from me, qualified as hardware technician with 10+ years of experience and Android app/mod/ROM development:
Nonsense, there's no Android part that can cause a hardware failure except hard kernel modifications (absolutely not the CM way), and AOSP/CM is way less toxic than the stock Samsung ROM.
Misfortune, hardware failure not caused by ROM
I trusted him at that moment as he said to get rid of it as fast as possible, but i also was under pressure because 2-3 weeks ago i paid a lot of money on touch+display bcs it died suddenly. Thanks for reply !
By the way i may repair the charging and buttons problem but what about 'device not recognized' ? I mean that's what i posted for, because i want back official ROM! Is there any way to flash stock firmware without PC ? I mean just like i flashed CM via cwm recovery ?
HEY but what if there is not any hardware problems ? I mean that was the first thing to come in my mind when I saw so many problem. Tell me what you think about that? That is why I want to flash a stock ROM so help me to do this because there is no way for any PC to recognize my phone.
@wowempire: Are you serious? You've just had two guys with far more experience using this device than I do tell you that you have a hardware problem. The pedigree of @AntaresOne speaks for itself and yet you still insist upon posting a "what if it isn't hardware" question?
You've been told what your problem is and what to do about it, but you go ahead and waste your time. I'm out, as I don't have the patience for this.
OK so I changed charging port with a brand new and BAM in 1 day I got problem with it again. Would u think it is a hardware problem anymore if you would be in that situation? I don't think so Mr impatient.
Ah and what my problem is ? Why the phone is not recognized ? Wait it must be a hardware problem for sure.
And if you still didn't get it : I just want to flash stock ROM because I can solve hardware problem later.

It's because software can't cause this. If your phone is not recognized by your pc then it has nothing to do with the rom that is flashed. Why don't you just flash a custom TW based rom if you wan't to get rid of CM?

I would tell your technician to check USB switch on motherboard, probably it's damaged...
Did you already try with another USB cable/PC?
If nothing works for you, ask your technician to make a USB jig in this way:
Micro USB type B male connector with 300Kohm resistor+1Kohm resistor in series between pins 4 and 5 of USB connector. If he can't make it for you, you can still order on already built on eBay, it's very cheap. How to use it?
Remove your battery, plug USB jig and insert battery back. Device will power on itself in Factory download mode, unplug jig and plug USB cable. Open Odin and see if it is recognized, if not install USB drivers again and repeat the procedure. If still no luck, most likely your USB switch on the motherboard is broken

I don't think the jig is going to help. The hardware is fubar. He's got too many other hardware problems that are unrelated to the connectivity issues.
And definitively, CyanogenMod did NOT cause these problems. It hasn't caused these problems on the 10 million other S4's it's been installed on.
