Anyone still stuck with 3.01?

I have a brand new (June build) unmodified A500 and it's not pulling any OTA updates. The current build of the unit is 1.016.05_COM_GEN1. This is weird that it's not even pulling the 1.039.05(?) update. Yeah I know I can do the updates manually, but I'd rather keep my unit stock for the time being.
For the record, the microphone and gps are working very well on this (june) unit. The color intensity and uniformity is a bit off though.

You can manually update to stock 3.1 though...
Anyhoo, from what I read around here updates are given via serial number lottery, you just have to wait for your number to come up. I don't know if that's true though, just what I've read.

I've never received an ota. I was rooted and running roms on day one.
You don't need to root to install updates, just drop the update on your SD and go!
Let us know if you need help.

New Firmware Update 8.6.5.18-20111028

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?

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.

Have you managed to download it, and verify if you got ICS ?
I was chatting online with Samsung support about the availability of the download, and checked checkfusdownloader while I was online and founf the update - but the support person says it is not an ICS update. I hope they just don't know what they are talking about.
Visitor: Product Code: GT-P7510UWCXAB Latest firmware: P7510UELPL/P7510XABLPL/P7510UELPL/P7510UELPL Modified: 08/08/2012 10:54:47 Filename: GT-P7510_XAB_1_20120808105431_sr3nx29c5t.zip.enc2
Visitor: Can you please tell me if this contains 4.0.4 - or is it just another 3.2 update
Smith: Its just a update to the version you have on the Tab.
Visitor: containing what exactly ?
Smith: We do not have the information on the update as it is through air.
Visitor: so it could be 4.0.4 then - you just don't know
Smith: It is not 4.

EDIT: sammobile have it uploaded now - so it looks like it is finally here ... now if only I had my TAB with me

Oh, sorry for the delay. It took a while to download and then I was playing with it.
For those curious:
Build Number- IMM76D.UELPL
I must say, This thing runs soooooooooooo much better. It also feels a bit more cohesive with my SG3. I think I'll keep it stock for a while. Also, I notice I can uninstall the bloat they included with it originally now. Not just hide, but remove Amazon, Kindle, etc. crud that I don't think I could before. Would be nice to add smart stay, Allshare Play, and face unlock eventually. I'm a little spoiled with some of the things on my SG3.

Downloading it now. US/TN.

Same its downloading now

Just did the check update on mine and also got the upgrade box. 254.01MB

No, i just installed the update via OTA. Did not wipe device, however you will lose your homescreens if you are using the native TouchWiz launcher.

Checked mine a few hours ago, got update available.
Did a reset for a clean update.
Now when I check, no update available.
Checked my wife's tab, same thing, not available.
Checked some other forums and some are also getting not available.
Could Samsung be staggering the update to keep the servers from getting overloaded?

I just checked for update on mine and no update is available.

Is anyone else getting "Your device is not compatible" with Chrome? What the hell? It's 4.0.4
edit:cleared market data and it's available

If you are not seeing the update try hooking up to Kies

Did anybody get an OTA update?
Is ICS coming OTA or via Kies? I live in Mass. and as of 11:30 a.m. on 8/13 my tab says there is no update available. I rather not have to bother with Kies, so I'll wait awhile longer.

^My update notification popped up as soon as I unlocked my Tab this morning.
I've been stuck on stock due to lots of ffc use, and thank Christ the keyboard lag is fixed. It's like a new tablet.

Any advantage to going from the UK version to the US version? I live in the US, but flashed the UK version a while back... is there even a difference?

Just my luck, android 4.0 for the tablet is released and suddenly kies stops working and won't recognize my tab, and i also get "No update available"

I plugged it into my computer and the update was available through Kies. Took about 30 minutes for the update to complete, and so far I am liking it.

I have the US GT-P7510 flashed with the ICS 4.0.4 UK version, is it possible to install the US ICS over the UK version using Odin, or do I have to rollback to HC 3.2 then flash this new ICS?

ok its official ICS IS HERE, i was using custom roms but then decide to go to stock i was using ROM HTJ85B.UEKMP i try to use the update from within the tablet but did not work as soon as i connected the tablet to kies bam updating and now its official ICS is here, after the update everything just ran by itself no need to clear nothing. pass the word around and if anyone has the ability to actual rip the whole rom off please do so cause i know for many kies does not work. it was a long wait but its here

I gave up on the OTA update as it has said no update available all morning. Currently connected to Kies and performing the upgrade. Crossing my fingers everything goes smoothly.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You will usually get less than normal battery life after an update. This is normal for Android.

What is the best course of updating if I'm rooted and on a custom TW rom?

Unconfirmed, not exactly why or how but my gf's N4 has been suffering from poor signal and loss. This update has seemingly corrected those issues. I haven't done it on mine but I'm optimistic because I've been having similar issues. They just say "bug fixes" so not sure exactly what that is. Obviously the Stagefright is one of those but there may also be tweaks and corrections here and there. I'd be curious to know if anyone else has been having those issues and whether or not this update fixes them.
Also confirming its not 5.1.1

I used a different app to test and it said I was not vulnerable.

You can also boot up into recovery and wipe cash partition which will sometimes help, this is what I did when updating from 4.4 to 5.0 it helped.

I did try a few other apps to test stagefright and one said no and two said it was vulnerable, the best process to update which has never failed me is Odin to full stock, root it flash recovery and flash what you want from there, I've tried every way there is to sneak an update but that's the sure fire way to make sure everything is in order and gives the best outcome.
