I will wait until there's more info listed. It doesn't even say what region it's for.
I was wondering if anyone can help me with my query. I recently installed .18. It's rooted and has TWRP recovery. I would like to know the best method for updating to the new firmware. Please let me know if this approach is sound:
Use OTA RootKeeper to disable root access.
Got to recovery and do a factory reset and wipe dalvik cache
Flash the latest update
Restore root with OTA RootKeeper
With this approach, will I still maintain TWRP recovery or will I need to flash it again?
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like CN version

Looking at the other files, it seems the update is for Chinese (CN) SKU. So, it is wise not to flash this on other SKUs.

If you have recovery, that means you're unlocked, so you can flash anything. What I do to update is.....
Download the update and put it in /sdcard. Make sure you unzip once to get to the zip within
Reboot to recovery
backup your current ROM with it.
Flash the new update zip with it
After the flash, you lose root and recovery, soooooo
Once done, go flash recovery back on
Flash root back in - there's a superuser zip in the rooting guide in the general section
you're all set. It seems like a pain but always works for me...

Many thanks for the feedback and steps.
Yeah, I followed the guide to update and flash from here (excellent guide). Was wondering if flashing the new firmware would completely wipe everything, including the idea of trying to preserve the root functionality using OTE RootKeeper. If it all has to be done again then so be it Plan on using Titanium Backup to back up my apps too. Still learning, though it's a lot of fun and very time consuming.
Cheers.

If you are unlocked with recovery, then you don't need to be concerned with preserving root from ota updates, because this method is not done ota. You lose root after flashing the update because your entire /system partition is overwritten, but you can easily flash root back in after you put your recovery back. Flashing an update like this does not wipe your /data partition, so you keep data apps and their info.

ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T Firmware: V10.4.2.19 Only for CN SKU (Android 4.1)
no 4.2, was hoping for it lol

I don't know what to do now

hello,
My device: tf101
running: Android Revolution HD-EeePad v3.0.0 (root)
I have these following issue in my tf101 :
1) after my install the custom rom the device auto boot in to Clockworkmod Recovery not in to the rom ( so i always press power button and - button and select the android logo to boot)
2) when i left device is auto shut down.
4) I can't update the Clockworkmod Recovery 3.1.0.1 (R3-240511-1908) to the new one.
I like to flash to last stock update and root device.
sorry of all these mess,
I have never done this, but I am sure you can use software on your PC to do a nandroid restore to full stock honeycomb. Then once you are stock use one of the root methods to reattain root and then upgrade to a ICS Rom. Research the development forum.
Can you nvflash?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium HD app
If you want to flash to completely stock, unrooted, just go to the ASUS Support site, download the firmware you want (ICS or HC 8.6.5.21). Unzip the file 1 time (it will still be a .zip) and put it on a microSD.
Go to CWM, install zip from card, choose the update.
It will overwrite CWM and go back to stock recovery, unrooted stock ICS or HC.
I saw GoodIntentions has a post around here somewhere with that info in it.
EDIT: Found it - [UNROOT]The easiest unrooting method

You have a very odd problem. I've never seen this problem before. They should all work.
The only other suggestion I can give is try installing the stock recovery, use it to flash in the stock honeycomb build, and upgrade to ICS from there.
Just follow the following instruction.
(1) Download the stock recovery and the honeycomb build from asus website.
stock recovery
(2) Flash stock recovery in with your CWM.
(3) Unzip the honeycomb firmware from asus ONCE and change the name of the zip you find inside to "EP101_SDUPDATE.zip"
(4) Restart the TF system. The firmware should install automatically with the stock recovery.
If it doesn't, tell me and we'll try something else.

The problem is most likely with your CWM Recovery version 3.1.0.1
Replace it with this recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446019 and try flashing the stock Asus ICS rom again.

I will venture a guess that you are on CWM 5.5.0.4 installed using RomManager.
If so, you are experiencing a well established problem with a fairly easy solution.
Look at this thread and ask for help, if needed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530337
By the way, installing a stock recovery is almost always a bad option. Don't do that.
Good luck.

This is not his problem. He clearly states he's on another CWM.
He's got some other weird problem... either that or he doesn't know how to do these things correctly. We're giving him advice assuming he knows how to do certain things correctly.
The op's problem is very similar to this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1549062 which has been resolved.

You are right, I may have misinterpreted the OP.
Still, I think the solution is the same.
When the device boots into recovery and can be cold-booted into ROM, the most likely culprit is the 'boot-recovery' flag which is set in the /misc partition. When the system sees that upon boot, it goes straight into recovery.
It should be the recovery's job to blank out that flag at some point, but CWM 5.5.0.4 (and, perhaps this recovery the OP is using) does not do this.
So, the solution is to reset it with the 'echo ...' command (or blanking out the first few bytes of /dev/block/mmcblk0p3) in shell.
My suggestion is very conservative.
I'll gave try and let u know
when i connect to the computer nothing shows up
even the Asus sync don't found it
I'll gave try on Linux

I'm in the same boat. I'm running stock 4.2.2. ROM. Rooted, CWM 6.0.3.5, and I installed the AIO LTE .zip (I can't remember if I'm currently on the .33 or .27 radio). I received the 4.3 update OTA and just tried to install. I put me in CWM and asked me if I want to "install unkown zip" . I assumed that was the OTA update and selected yes. It seemed to do the install and reboot. However, I'm still on 4.2.2. Stranger still, when check for updates, it says I'm current.

The OTA won't install with a non-stock radio (I think) & the AIO flashable makes changes to the build.prop which will also prevent the OTA from installing.

Bingo! The AIO enabler does in fact make changes to your build prop which will cause the update to fail every time. Here's what I did. Flashed the stock 4.2.2 boot and system imgs via fastboot.(used the toolkit ) after which I manually flashed the stock radio (.48) and stock kernel. It worked after that. Gimmie a few and I'll link the files needed.

ok here they are. of course before you do anything make a nandroid backup just incase.
stock kernel, and image are here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848
you want to download the stock 4.2.2 image and extract the boot and system imgs to be flashed via fastboot.
also since my initial ota failed and I didnt want to wait for my phone to get it again I just downloaded the stock 4.3 image.
its the first link "4.3-JWR66V-from-4.2.2 JDQ39"
stock radio is here. you want .48 and you just flash in cwm

Getting this same issue on wifes Nexus 4. Its stock with the 4.3 JB OTA no mods or root since that OTA. Can't understand why GPS.conf could be changed.
If I root and TWRP could a factory image update.zip with the -w wipe removed work to get her to KitKat without wiping and redoing her phone? I am used to flashing custom roms this stock ota stuff is giving me a headache.

I understand that, she is stock ROM, with stock recovery and not rooted when she is having this issue. No root TWRP or custom rom involved. Since it wasn't working with stock recovery was looking for options without wiping device during factory image flash to fix GPS.conf file thats buggered.
She got the OTA normal way on her phone this afternoon, but it failed. Will check out your sig links when I get home and see if I can solve this without spending all night setting her phone back up from a factory image wipe :/ Thx for feedback and any pointers

The flashing will required an unlocked bootloader, so if its not unlocked you will lose all data when unlocking it. (Doing a factory reset in stock recovery also wipe everything.)
I don't really know what else you can do, if there were never any modifications, then the problem is due to Google having too much protections and issues for their OTA packages.
Unlocked so can do the method in your guide. But she says she wants to clean up her phone so a clean start will probably perform better and she gets the clean slate she wants, problem solved Though OTA checks annoy me now lol
thx for the feedback and guides

[OTA] Stock XNPH25R OTA

Here's the new update that came out today - XNPH25R. This has the assert junk removed so you can flash it in TWRP.
NOTHING has been changed in this other than the ability to flash it in TWRP.
Reboot to recovery, flash .zip. Reboot to system. Nothing fancy required. *Flash SuperSU if you want root access.
https://www.4shared.com/download/4UoLVwKIce/cm-bacon-XNPH25R_fix.zip?lgfp=3000
I'm getting binary update script error by flashing with TWRP
I flashed the stock OTA in TWRP right from my phone. Go to Developer settings adn uncheck the update CM recovery setting and OTA will flash in TWRP. I kept root. I'm not sure if the 4.4 update will kill root, but I doubt it. Thanks for providing the zip!
With the option to update CM recovery via OTAs does that mean we can take OTAs with TWRP installed?
Hey Guys Can I flash this zip file through CWM ???? Please suggest...........
Update = flashed the official cm-11.0-XNPH22R-bacon-signed file & then received the OTA & it's installed successfully even with CWM install.

I think you have to disable that option in developer settings menu, if you want to be able to flash the OTA with TWRP.
Works for me
Updated it using TWRP but once booted it tells me there's an udpate, over and over... update in TWRP seems to work (no fails, only message is "radio image updated")
I flashed the file and when I reboot i´m still on XNPH22R and it also does prompt for the update. I flashed it on twrp, everything seemed ok
Flashed the file with both TWRP and Philz, no error but the Rom version is still 22R !
Can someone post the stock recovery img please?

The downloaded OTA is located in \cache and can be flashed trough TWPR. Unfortunately I get an error of missing apks in \system due to deleting some of them (CM File Manager, PrintSpooler, ...).
I'll try to throw them back to \system and retry flashing.
Nope nope nope, doesn't work. He says blabla build.prop because of changed DPI, but it gave me an error on executing the update binary anyway.

This is what happens when you try to flash the original OTA .zip in TWRP. When flashing the provided zip in OP I don't get an error but like everybody said it doesn't update to 25.

Nope nope nope, doesn't work. He says blabla build.prop because of changed DPI, but it gave me an error on executing the update binary anyway.

Someone has the original build.prop? We can try to restore it and update.

I've got it. Do you need? Texdroider DPI makes an backup of the original build.prop. I restored it and the issue is solved but nevertheless the update binary can't be executed.
Flashed CWM over TWRP: with CWM same problem. I restored original build.prop and it's still complaining about in the build prop.
Okay, seems that my backup of build.prop isn't the stock build.prop but an updated version with DPI of 380, damn. Can anyone upload the original one?
Can you upload the original build.prop please? Are you sure that the old file has the correct cm revision?

I just happened to do a software check, and it is downloading a new version. Any ideas? I was already on Lollipop.

More than likely security update for stagefright vulnerability. S5 got theirs a week or so ago.

400 megs for Stagefright? That seems pretty big.

Yeah it was 380 for the S5 too.
Thanks for the info. This was the only site that had ANY information about the update.
I'm on Lollipop, but Rooted. Will this update take away root by any chance?
My question exactly!

Typically these updates do remove root. Best to wait until someone has a root method figured out for the new update.

I just updated via the OTA method on AT&T. Rebooted twice. I still have root (verified by Root Checker). Here's my About page:
Here's the root checker pic:
I now have OC2. Update OTA with confidence!
I originally rooted OC1 (Lollipop) by following the Root/OC1 method.
EDIT: I just checked for stagefright vulnerability (via Stagefright detector). It reports that my device is NOT VULNERABLE. Nice.
I took the chance because this site has helped me in sooo many ways. It's the least I could do. Thanks everyone.
I'm rooted and my update failed at 26%

Update failed for me at 25% too. I'm rooted OC1.
Does this update do more than just fix the stagefright exploit?
If not, then kmokhtar already posted a flashable update fix for stagefright which works great.
Could you post a link to that? I have been unable to find it via xda search, google search, browsing in note 3 forums...
Why is this 'update' 5.0? I could have sworn it was just up to 5.1.1

Can confirm that the update worked for me on rooted OC1, now shows OC2 and I retained full root on my phone.

Those like me who have installed modded apps like S6 and have mixed in deodexed files, the OTA will fail. the OTA installer MD5 checks the system files and if any fail it will abort the Update. Any deodexed system files will also abort the Update
How to updated to OC2 if your OTA failed
1. Download and unzip and copy this Folder to OC1 stock root backup to your TWRP backup folder,
\TWRP\BACKUPS\0b70b440\N900A_OC1_Lollipop_Stock_Rooted_Backup
2. Copy OC1 kernel recovery installer to your sdcard SM-N900A_N900AUCUEOC1_KERNEL_Recovery-Flashable.zip
*** You can also go ahead and copy Safestrap-HLTEATT-NC2-3.75-B03[1].apk and NC2 Flasher to your sdcard ***
3 Download the OC2 OTA 2400258.cfg
rename the 2400258.cfg OC2 to 2400258.zip and copy to your sdcard
4 Install the OC1 backup,
N900A_OC1_Lollipop_Stock_Rooted_Backup.zip
5. Install OC1 Kernel
SM-N900A_N900AUCUEOC1_KERNEL_Recovery-Flashable.zip
6. (I did a factory wipe , but Warning you will loose UserData settings and Apps you installed) You might try without but if you had a custom SystemUI and Touchwiz as I did it might FC because you have setting in Userdata pertaining to the Custom apps that you will over write with the OC1 backup.
7. Select Reboot and then select Recovery to boot to stock recovery and install as a update from external storage. mine installed with no issues.
8. To get safe strap back working Download and copy Safestrap-HLTEATT-NC2-3.75-B03[1].apk to sdcard (if you have not done yet)
9. Download and copy NC2 Flasher by benwaffle
10. Install Safestrap-HLTEATT-NC2-3.75-B03, run app and install recovery ( do not press reboot to recovery, it will only take you to stock recovery)
11. Install NC2 Flasher app and then use it to boot to recovery.
12. Do a backup of your new OC2
Now you can customized and do what you want
