seems like you made a miss here, but root the transformer and download the official CWM of the FOTA Then you will get ics!
But beware ics seems a bit slow and laggy at the moment :/

Have a good day
thanks,but in your opinion the only way to update mt tf to ics is the root?
I think that I can try to update to 8.6.5.21-20111216 US and then I'll wait the notify of upgrade...what do you think about it?

You probably need to download the US version from asus downloads and manually update to that. That should solve your problems as the system will only recognize the original firmware locations.

i didn't say it was the only way, as you do have an US tab and you updated to WW i don't seem why it don't give you an FOTA update as its same tab just some other languages *Mostly* but what do i know its nothing i can do, and i think your tab is seen as US tab still, if your using WW so US hasn't yet got their update, but soon they will i guess,
Unfortunately the update system will only recognize the original firmware.... so if your tab as originally US then you update to TW it will not accept the update ( i tried when the TW update came out) it doesnt matter where you are. I have a WW but i bought it in canada and am now in indonesia so i figured why not try the TW and see if i get the update. It failed but when i went to WW it came up instantly.
Thanks guys!so,now I try to update manually to 8.6.5.21-20111216 US?
I had the same issue, first had an US version but after unroot I've flashed
the WW version and apparently these aren't scheduled for update yet, didn't get update notifications for ICS .
So what i did was return to the original US stock version and did this with NVFLash
after the US firmware was loaded it went through all the updates sequentially and ended with ICS = me a Happy TF owner
Had the same problem. Then i've rooted the TF and flashed the root version.
Very hppy now, everything is fine now.

For the ppl that flashed back to stock where did you get the ROM from? I did the same (came from Revolver ROM) and flashed back to stock (US version) but no updates showing.
You can get all the regional versions of Asus stock firmware from the asus download site
http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download
Just choose the Region that you originally had WW or US or whatever
The update will only work for the original firmware region because it is tied to your serial number in the ASUS database or something like that.
Edit: if you have CWM (custom recovery) get one of these:
Revolver: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518768
Android Revolution : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245892
For stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514658 (I suggest the full rom not the upgrade Option B)

Why do u want to get back to stock? I came from revolver and flashed the root ics without any problems. So smooth and fast, awesome...

Thanks everyone for your help. I was able to finialy get ICS update FOTA. For those who are still having issues here is what I did:
-Started with rooted TF running Revolver ROM
-NVFlashed to a stock ROM (the flash should have removed root and CWM I'm told)
-Noticed my TF still did not see any update, stock ROM I flashed was 3.1 older stock ROM and may be part of the reason it would not update (not totally sure the reasons)
-Went to Asus official download site and D/L the US firmware update
-Unzipped that file on a Micro SD card (root directory)
-Put Micro SD card into my running (older) stock TF and the triangle popped up on the task bar saying there was an update, tap that and let it update.
-now was updated to the latest stock Asus 3.2 ROM and checked updates..it found that i needed an update and d/l ICS!!
May be an easier way to get ICS, but for me I was hearing issues others had using some of the prepared ICS ROMs on here vs. letting the TF FOTA update.
So far so good!
The software update promised by Asus is now rolling out FOTA in the UK (Ice Cream Sandwich firmware build 9.2.1.21).
Start a couple more threads for it.

Mentions of the WW update being pushed in these threads is not enough.
Does anybody know how the OTA updates recognise the 2 different models of Iconia tablets (a500 / a501)
Does it work by serial number or purely on the model number of the current rom installed on the tablet
I'm thinking of trying to fool the OTA updates on my a501 (3.2.1 HC stock) to install the a500 ICS OTA Stock update
I'm willing to forgo 3g functionality for a while ... until the Acer team release ICS for the a501
You would also lose gps I understand.
