Now the question I am wondering is... Is it worth it? Potentially sacrificing root and CWR? I have been running 0.0.7.3 CM9 build for many months now and am curious to what you all think.
Pros/Cons? I've heard battery life is terrible, which is odd because I feel like I have good battery life on the CM9 Port. Also... Is root completely gone? Does OTA Rootkeeper help? My biggest concern (I'd probably even lose root if it is fixed), does the pen work as advertised? Or is the infamous 'pen wonk' bug still present?
Pen wonk = writing notes for ~10-15 minutes, pen is suddenly not responsive. Sleep/waking the device fixes it usually. This has been present in every stock Honeycomb build as well as all the CM9 Port builds so I am very curious if this is fixed because I believe it is a hardware issue (Lenovo please prove me wrong). Any info would be much appreciated.

I was able to go from a rooted, CWM'd device (US 64GB) to a fully rooted device without CWM.
After a few painful steps to get an old busybox file restored and stock recovery enabled, the upgrade process was very simple and so far it is working very well with ICS. There hasn't been enough time to judge battery life yet....
Make sure you follow the instructions that other's have posted about using RootKeeper. That is the only thing I needed to use to restore root perfectly.

I updated with CWR rather than reverting to stock recovery. Everything worked fine. However, it did get rid of the stock recovery.

That is good news about the ability to keep root. At least in keeping root, we should theoretically be able to restore CWR.

As it says the update for ASUS ICS, but CWM flashable.
*WARNING* If you are rooted, you will need OTA rootkeeper from Market to flash this patch, or flash superuser after rebooting at least once. Currently US and WW ROMs only.
--If someone has an update from another version (CN, etc.) that they want to use, PM me with a link to the file and I can build/edit a script for that too and add it in--
You should be on an odexed stock ROM (rooted of-course) in order for this to work. If you are on a custom ROM, don't bother, it won't work for you. You will need to wait for the dev of your ROM to make a patch or upgrade.
I set this up to only flash the kernal and the patches. Recovery will not be effected. This is confirmed working for me.
The US version -- http://www.mediafire.com/?3aa16qy7sh4t9m4
The WW version -- credit to Lizard -- http://www.mediafire.com/?nw4zgwvl3yug0tw
The TW version -- thanks to wai43 for the files -- http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?cfq6d5lug4q4sd8
I will not be responsible if you brick your tablet. This patch worked fine for me, but may not work for others.

I didn't wipe anything. It worked fine for me. It works just like a normal update. You may need to be sure to have all the factory installed files though. I did the update from a full stock, rooted ROM. Worked great.
You sir are awesome. Worked perfectly.
For those like mE that edited thier system.
1. I flashed ics full over my set up to restore it without losing my settings.
2. Root keeper to keep root.
3. Flashed this update.
4. Used root keeper to restore root.

Honestly, I don't know if we can profit from this... lol, but thanks is just fine. I've been dabbling in this crap for years, but I had to go back to the drawing board to get that script to work right. I hope that ASUS has their crap together and don't release a bunch of patches over the next few months, that would suck for all the devs. It is supposed to have some benefits, but I've been playing with this for a few hours and haven't seen anything amazing yet... I'm working on some thing based on this and will release soon.
BTW, for those with random reboot issues, I have yet to have experienced that -- since the original update. Anyway, just my 2 cents.

I HAVE experienced RR on ICS; will see what happens.
The poll in the other thread does not lead me to believe that this update fixes all the problems that lead to random reboots.
Anyway, thanks.
Btw, I tried to capture the update blob but after I renamed it, it disappeared from the /cache
I was just curious as to what you did to the update to defang it.
Is removing the recovery enough?
Does it also carry a bootloader update which you also have to remove?

I backed up su with OTA RootKeeper then rebooted into CWR. I flashed the zip, rebooted and let the update "optimize [my] apps". Once that was done I was greeted with my usual homescreen. A toast notification informed me WebKey was granted SuperUser permission, as always happens on bootup.
Surprised, I launched SuperUser and saw a corresponding new entry in the log. I double checked my current version of su, which was found to be current. I'm assuming that a "No newer version of su available" means su (and thus root) wasn't removed during the upgrade.
I next launched OTA RootKeeper which oddly reported my TF101 was no longer rooted. Nonetheless I hit RESTORE and root is back: or rather OTA RootKeeper is happy now.

Sharpe thank you for this zip. I have a US B80 and the stupid update would start to install and then after getting about a 1/4 of the way it would freeze on the android with the exclamation point. Your zip solved that problem and so far no reboots or any weirdness. I do have one question about the update though, how do I stop the tablet from trying to take the OTA(it is persistent).
Thanks

There's a CM9 for the i815 in the Android development thread that has everything working but 4G and auto brightness, according to the developer. I'm going to install this weekend, but it seems to be the real deal at this point.
It's also currently missing HDMI, which is unfortunate...but I agree that it could easily be a daily driver in another month or so.

This is great news, sure I'd love 4g to be working too but I typically have at least 2 networks I can tether on in addition to Verizon so ready to take the plunge.
Which version of CWM are you running and how did you install it? Odin or heimdall? I downloaded what I thought was the proper CWM but have had trouble installing.

CWM 5.5.0.4 recovery from locerra, flashed via Odin.
Do yourself a favor before flashing the recovery via odin if you're rooted and follow these instructions, or else the stock recovery will override your CWM recovery every boot:
ODIN flashable CWM 5.5.0.4 TAR file: http://goo.im/devs/ohanar/clockworkmod/i815/CWM-20120710-i815.tar
Installation Instructions for stock FD01 users with stock 3e recovery:
Gain root access if you don't already have it.
Disable any lockscreen security you have.
While in the Stock ROM after enabling root access, navigate to the /system folder with a root-enabled file explorer app and mount R/W.
Locate the file "recovery-from.boot.p" and rename it to "recovery-from.boot.p.bak" then power down your tab, Do Not reboot or let the tab boot into your stock rom!
Boot into download mode by pressing and holding power + volume down
Press Volume up to continue into download mode and connect your tab to your pc
Load up ODIN and flash the 5.5.4.0 tar file via PDA
Reboot, you should now have persistent CWM 5.5.0.4

I'm running CM10 and it is very smooth and a huge step up from stock HC. I use mine solely on Wi-Fi so it having 4G issues is not a problem for me. VZW's attitude toward customers and their painfully slow updating process is what drove me away from them. I will never go back to VZW until these attitudes change. I am now a very happy T-Mobile customer with unlimited 4G data. Suck it VZW.
Hello TPT community,
I Just got this tablet mainly because of the included digitizer and was wondering if anyone could give me a guideline on how to speed things up for this tablet. The tablet came with honeycomb 3.1 included and I am finding it pretty sluggish and unresponsive in general tasks. I went into settings to do a software update but it seems there is no 4.0 update available. There doesn't seem to be a toggle for pen only input in the settings either. Is the normal process for flashing a new Rom to root, then install CWM, and flash Roms?
I'm kind of a n00b here, but that is the right process in general.
For you, there should be a 4.0 update, but you might have to try a few times. After you are running ICS (4.0) you can root and load Koshu's JB rom.

You can root your tablet and go straight to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 or 4.1.2. It's fast and cool! The only little bug is with wifi!

The wifi bug actually isn't that big, just set wifi to always on like suggested. As far as the tampered drivers error, you will probably have to : a) search for a way to install unsigned drivers on win8
or b) use a winxp/win7 pc.
Be careful tho... flashing after having stock ICS is needed for a reason.

I was worried you were gonna try to just jump straight to JB.
Hey there,
well one way is to try flashing the upgrade directly but like da_reeseboy already mentioned, there is a high possibility that it will fail. Only other way would be to flash the bootloader directly (that most likely the part, that keeps the JB kernel from booting on non ICS kernels) but there is a high bricking chance and eventually the firmware for some of the hardware needs to be updated, too, to work properly.
It looks like there's hope - this guy has the same weird software version as you - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37487649&postcount=6. He used the directions in that thread to upgrade to ICS.

Just trying to think outside the box (noob style), what if he:
1. Installed CWM
2. Restored a clean 0075 nandroid from someone here on xda
3. Restored stock recovery
4. Checked for OTA to ICS
In my mind the software version is what is holding him back from updates, so I'm thinking that restoring an 0075 nandroid will put him in a position to get the update correctly... but I am still new to this so I could be WAY off.

2. Restored a clean 0075 nandroid from someone here on xda
3. Restored stock recovery
4. Checked for OTA to ICS
In my mind the software version is what is holding him back from updates, so I'm thinking that restoring an 0075 nandroid will put him in a position to get the update correctly... but I am still new to this so I could be WAY off.

Thanks for still helping! Do I need a special CWM? I just root and install CWM from the market? Honeycomb is really annoying because some apps I use are only for newer androids such as Hulu plus.
Just Received The New OTA 2.3 (77 mb)
Now Installing It ....

Yes I got the notification but I'm worried that if I install it on a rooted device it will brick my tablet.

I doubt it'll brick your device, but it'll almost definitely remove root access, and it's also possible that it'll break whatever methods there are for obtaining root again.

I wonder if I Could just flash the stock recovery, then apply the OTA then flash CWM and SU
its patching the kernel first looking at it,
tried it on mine just and it errors out, doesn't "brick it" oh I hate that expression, and errors before making any other changes.
Guess I'll need to restore a stock kernel/recovery before flashing it
Interesting..

Sounds quite complicated.
Deepak Vishnu
Do you think you can explain how to modify the updater script to be able to flash the new update using cwm.
Do you lose root and cwm if you do it this way?
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Drc.
Installation seems to work with cwm. Still on the go for me, but no errors yet, and i got through the "Verifying current system" step.
E: nope. gets till the end, but quits with an error (no error message though)
E2: got it now. Update is AWESOME! Tab is faster and responsivenes did really improve. love it!

Very nice Tom. I will have to check this out. I will be deployed on an exercise on Tuesday for a couple of months, so its nice to get this just before I go! My Tegra Note 7 has been running great so far...

Is your server having any bandwidth issues? I've had quite a bit of trouble downloading the rom in the past 12 or so hours, with the max speed capping at 15-16kb/s and two dropouts.
That said, It seems to have come good in the last hour though. Thankyou for the effort of putting this up :good:
I updated my TN7 first to 4.4.2 and the previous OTA (2.2 i assume), then used the SuperTool 2.2 from the other thread to unlock and root the tablet with no problems.
Next day this OTA was avaiable and it installed without problems. Root is still active.
I wanted to say i have a EVGA one, but after trying to confirm this, i'm not so sure anymore. Will ask in other thread to find out.
I tried ART with mine and had tons of issues... anything involving the stylus support just went totally wonky. Shame, cuz it certainly zipped along!

If it was the EVGA one, there would be a big EVGA logo on the back

Greetings friends,
Happy Weekend! Thanks to our buds at Cyanogen, a new OTA will be rolling out to your phones starting today. This new release includes some new fixes such as a resolved SSLv3 POODLE security issue and updated touchscreen firmware.
The OTA will be released slowly and therefore some regions might receive it before others. Once you’ve received your OTA please let us know what you think! Any further issues you may find can also be reported directly to Cyanogen.
Here’s a comprehensive list of changes you’ll find in this update:
Fixed issues with memory causing screen artifacts
Fixed issues with random reboots and instability
Fixed issues with WiFi and modem crashes
Fixed issues with Filesystem
Fixed issues with “black bar”
Fixed issues with persist partition corruption
Fixed issues with AT&T VoLTE

Edit: Forgot to mention... this includes a new modem, I know people are always interested in that.
As a side note, I've been running the build as part of an early access test for a few days now... has been extremely solid for me.
Edit again: LINKS!
• Link to the OTA: http://builds.cyngn.com/fota/incremental/bacon/cm-bacon-ac1ccf7921-to-5fa8c79c0b-signed.zip
MD5: 684bc3eb256f06a912505628551cba24
Super mini guide: As long as your system is stock, flash away in stock or custom recovery. I always re-flash the SuperSU zip immediately following, YMMV.
• Link to the OTA with a modified script (by @gianton) for installing regardless of system changes: https://mega.co.nz/#!EdBQ1Y4C!P85kyvVp1iR_I4IiuLKPxGBqskE3fueWe0OGAFidGEg

FAQ (since people are allergic to reading and searching):
1. ZOMG WHY NO WIFI AFTER OTA?: Because you used a custom kernel and didn't clean up your system files properly. Either follow that kernel threads instructions for OTA-prep'ing or flash back to that kernel.
2. I don't run CM 11S but I can totally flash this CM11S update, right?: No. If you want to flash the 44S OTA update, get yourself to CM11S 38R.
Zip file?

I did, but... as someone that hasn't tested for CM before, I'm not entirely clear on their position of a tester sharing. I wouldn't want to piss anyone off unnecessarily.

I understand. Since the OTA is out, would you mind sharing the zip?

Not in any meaningful way. Just have the SuperSU zip on your phone and flash it after you flash the OTA.
going to be constantly refreshing for OTA. Currently on stock, unrooted, and planning on leaving it that way for now, can the zip be flashed in stock recovery?

I flashed it in TWRP, so I assume stock recovery is also fine.

The one in the OP is identical to the one I received as a tester and I flashed it in TWRP.

If it contains "signed" it is flashable by stock too

Please also elaborate on "did not work" if it fails again... it's identical to the test build ZIP I received which flashed fine. Did you make any system modifications (if so, those will need to be reverted probably)?
