I flashed the 3.1 updtate from http://forum.androidcentral.com/asus-eeepad-transformer/88744-transformer-3-1-update-here.html
Using the instructions in post 1
Flashed fine, and working werll with 1 exception: no gmail widget
I have seen other comments o nthe various 3.1 threads about this issue, but thought it better to centralise it so we can find the solution.
I am in the UK, and so this might be down to flashing the US version onto WW hardware.
Any others missing the gmail widget in the same situation?
are any US users missing their gmail widget?
Are you rooted? I'm just getting the exclamation mark when trying to flash my WW TF.
I'm not entirely sure if this'll help, but I've extracted the EmailWidget.apk from the Prime rom in the dev section. I hope that's the correct apk?
Here's the download http://www.mediafire.com/?g9wp49y0glxwf99
Try this: from Curtisbeef
If you lost your Gmail widget do this:
Copy Gmail.apk from /system/app to /sdcard.
Use TitaniumBackup to Uninstall Gmail
Reboot(might be optional)
Copy Gmail.apk from /sdcard to /system/apk
Click Gmail.apk to install it.
You should have the gmail widget now.
I did this:
Renamed Gmail.apk to Gmail.bak, rebooted. Then rename it back to Gmail.apk and clicked install and that worked for me.
I am not rooted, and it flashed ok.
I have just realised that I have no sound following the update
Time to flash back to 3.0.1 I think.
I've an ww transformer and after flashing 3.1 gmail widget still here. I came from modaco hr5 with clockworkmod already installed.
so your TF was rooted, more pieces to the puzzle.
for those without the widget wha version of the gmail app do you have. mine is gone and i have 3.1-124046

so you really didn't get anything back. you are using the 3.0.1 gmail widget, not the new one. Can we get a working new one? My gmail widget on 3.1 isn't working. Maybe the official ota will work.
updated to 3.1 and now Gmail widget is gone. Build HMJ37.TW_epad-8.4.4.5-20110527

Funny this is that I did the unofficial update on my Transformer and I still have the Gmail widget and it's resize able. I have no idea how this is the case but I know a lot of people were stating that it's gone now.
I am in the UK and bought my Transformer from Ebuyer.
I flashed the leaked ROM on Saturday and everything worked fine and the Gmail widget is present and resizable.
At the time I didn't realise that there were different ROMs for different locations. I assume I had a WW ROM originally but I don't know because I didn't check. I now have a US ROM which was the leaked one.
What is the difference between the US & WW ROMs ?
The Asus support website says not to install the wrong one for your machine but I think I have and don't seem to have a problem. Will I get the future US over the air updates from now on due to having the US ROM?
Thanks

To get the gmail widget back you need root.
After that you need to cut and paste the gmail app from /system/app to your internal memory, reboot, and then move it back to system/app and reboot again. You will now have the gmail widget back.
wanted to bump this. I just got the update and my gmail widget is gone, honestly don't want to root, so i'm wondering if anyone else who lost it has figured out a way to get it back.
got the official OTA update for 3.1 and now the tablet has become super smooth
Hi,
I have made a big mistake when buying my TF101 from my local importer and not from US.
Since my warranty has expired, I suppose to pay 100$ for him to give me the official local Rom.
1. I dont want this Rom because I can never get OTA from asus.
2. 100$ is way to much.
Is there anyway that I can install a ics 4 like it was bought in the US? with normal OTA?
I don't want to have root and tweak system, just normal rom,
I have installed a custom rom: the Chrome is very slow, the entire thing is slow and not stable.
What are my options? It has become a nightmare using this. I prefer to go back to honey comb or buy something else from the US, even though I dont live there.
I just want the original US rom.
Thanks
Easiest way is with NVFLASH, choose the firmware country you want and flash that if you can use nvflash

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.

I also made a post about the ota update today. Unfortunately for you I already installed the update and my cache is empty. Sorry.

- Unfroze all apps
- Confirmed root backup existed, then temp unrooted.
- Rebooted
- Applied update
- Re-applied root

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.

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.
Aren't there problems with rooting ICS?

I attached the info in a picture. I dont know how to find out what region or wifi/3g it is though. I don't have a sim to test it. I got it from here: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7473177&CatId=6845

Apparently the Tiger Direct refurb is a custom SKU and is SUPPOSEDLY not upgradeable... tho I would think there are ways around that. At least now I know what we are working with here.

So any ideas on how to update to ICS? The ROM in android development section says it requires me to have ICS first.
Unfortunately no... sorry. I'm still a n00b with android devices. Maybe someone with a little more knowledge will chime in now that we know what we are dealing with.
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.
Flashing what?

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.

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.
I am on v7.1.1'(B10)
Unfortunately, i can’t find a backup apk on my phone! How is it possible to get a working apk for it?
Which app you recommend?
Have found an old one ZTE Backup 3.0.3. Is it usable for it?
B10 should have the ZTE app WeShare included. It's included in mine.
Depends what you mean by a backup. The ZTE app is mainly to protect your data and files before officially updating the ROM.

i am familiar with Honor / Huawei and LG. I don’t know "WeShare". So i had frozen it in the beginning of my experiences.
