Extract it.
There should be another zip in there. That's the one to flash.

Hi, could you please tell me where can i find a guide on how to flash my device with JB software. I'm in Europe,with EU TF300.
EDIT: I DID THAT:
Finally found a workaround for the "not finding any update".
1: download the dlpkgfile and command file found here on the forum.
2: use a file manager with root permissions (eg:es file explorer)
3: copy the dlpkgfile to /cache and the command file to /cache/recovery.
4: temp unroot with the Voodoo app
5: restore original build.prop
6: reboot in recovery (hold power + volume down) untill the white text appears telling you to press volume up to enter recovery
7: auto installs
8: reboot + reroot with the voodoo app
Failed after step 7.
Same way as with Official automatic update which failed and I am unable to repeat it... please help

The log file says:

Update Problem (different than the others)

Before anyone freaks on me asking for help i have tried all the other fixes and they dont work for my problem.
i havent deleted any apps, im rooted, i havent manually changed any files other than build.prop and i have already converted it back to original.
i HAVE had to resort to the chinese update to fix a problem from borked ubuntu install.

How to update to JB using DLPKGFILE and KEEP ROOT! Works!

Right, so, through a bit of trial and error using guidance from the forums, this is how I updated to JB and kept root for WW after the update originally failed.
download BOTH files from here (massive thanks to ch3mn3y):
http://www25.zippyshare.com/v/91334594/file.html
http://www1.zippyshare.com/v/96461494/file.html
then extract the .zip file.
download the command file from here (massive thanks to krabappel2548):
http://www.mediafire.com/?yq1bt16mnm7tc8d
extract it.
place the dlpkgfile and command file, both unzipped onto your tab. Use a root explorer to paste the command file into /cache/recovery and the dlpkgfile (the actual file, not the folder) to /cache.
go to Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and temp unroot.
turn off the tab.
boot into recovery with Vol - and power, then when it says to press volume up to boot into RCK, do it.
You'll see the android with the blue wires and it will go through the install process if you have done it right. let it do its thing.
obviously, when it has settled, restore root with Voodoo.
If you get the android with red exclamation mark, i reccomend downloading the ICS zip of your current firmware and SKU and sticking it on a micro SD card, and letting it restore any programmes you've deleted.

Will your last line lose root on us, or will voodoo root keeper save it via that or does it wipe/reset the entire system?

When i ran ran the zip of .30 i did lose root, but it was easily restored using 1 click transformer root.
I tried it twice but it always failed at about 1/3 of the process... Hopefully I can reboot w/ any damage...
WHY!?? :'(
Btw here's the part of the log where it shows the failure in installation:

Btw the command file is just a file with content --update_package=/cache/dlpkgfile in it.

I think I found the problem: I remember I pushed jelly bean's music2.apk in system/app! Restored the original music app.
Gonna try update again!
Now it the turn of libGLESv1_CM.so ...
Going to give it a try.
Just to make sure, is this for WW version, right?

E:Error in /cache/dlpkgfile
Already got this before my update notification stopped working.
I deleted Email app, returned it back to system but seems I dont have the right version. (found in someones dropbox posted here)
Also reflashed Ww. 30 hoping this would overwrite the widget with correct version. Obviously it did not...
Would be glad for any help.
As it is MY dlpkgfile it can need MY files. I could upload /system, but first its strange to copy/paste whole android and second it is 624mb and third it will work only for rooted and at least fourth i updated my pad.
If it helps my pad was reflashed to .30 using wolfs method cos i had screen issue.

Could you please try to upload just the EmailWidget?
When I tried using OTA I got an error on Email.apk first. Then I downloaded it from dropbox and it passed. But EmailWidget did unfortunately not.
Also trying to find a tool that could extract the .30blob file. I guess the apps should be there. Found something but probably Linux only so no go for me.
You guys made my day! I had the red triangle and couldn`t get the update anymore. Tried everything, nothing worked.
Now I just followed your guide, dl. your files and all went fine.
So sad I was ony able to hit the Tanks-button once. Thank you thousand times!

[Q] Lenovo Stock Firmware won't setup with fail on assertion

Sorry for the links, but I'm new user, so I can't post outside links.
I'm trying to install firmware (download(.)lenovo(.)com/slates/think/tablet1/ThinkPadTablet_A310_03_0069_0121_ROW.zip) from lenovo firmware list (download(.)lenovo(.)com/slates/think/tablet1/) on my Thinkpad Tablet 16Gb 3G.
Firstly, when I just tried to use it as backup (CWM) it fails just saying "md5 mismatch". I think it was fully wrong way.
Then, I tried to install it from "install zip from sdcard" CWM command. It fails with this output:
-- Installing: /sdcard/update.zip

Then, I understand that in zip I downloaded there was no /system/build.prop. I found some version of this file, but for US and changed all occurences of US to ROW. That's what I've got: paste(.)ubuntu(.)com/1676846/. It concains this string:
ro.build.fingerprint=Lenovo/ThinkPadTablet/Indigo:3.1/ThinkPadTablet_A310_02/0039_0089_ROW:user/release-keys
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But now I get the same error as when there was no build.prop at all.
What have I to do?
Thank you, Dmitry.
Hi,
firmware updates should come OverTheAir, not by downloading something.
There is an option in Settings->About where you can check for updates.
Maybe this ROM doesn't match your tablet or current ROM (if it's just a partial update).
If you're absolutely sure that this ROM matches your current configuration (and ONLY then):
I think the problem isn't in the zip, but on your tablet.
The assertions are in the zip and check for the target system.
This should prevent you from accidentally installing the wrong ROM.
So check your tablet's /system/build.prop
If you force the update by editing your build.prop, you may brick it!!!

Problem update 4.2.2

Hi,
I'm noob and english isn't my native language so sorry for the mistakes or others.
I've a problem with the update 4.2.2.
I have to erase the data of "Google services framework" and close it.
Then I download the update and I have to reboot the n4 for installing the update.
I do this and after the reboot I have this message in TWRP custom recovery:

Replace the EmailGoogle.apk that's missing
The message is telling you that it can't find the Gmail app, likely because you deleted it. Put it back (reinstall) and try again.

Your phone has to be stock for the OTA update to work.
Stock recovery, kernel, etc. Your phone can be rooted, but you can't have any modified (including removed) system files.
You could just download the factory image yourself and flash the parts separately.
or you can just flash any of the stock/rooted roms available here on xda
