As it says the update for ASUS ICS, but CWM flashable.
*WARNING* If you are rooted, you will need OTA rootkeeper from Market to flash this patch, or flash superuser after rebooting at least once. Currently US and WW ROMs only.
--If someone has an update from another version (CN, etc.) that they want to use, PM me with a link to the file and I can build/edit a script for that too and add it in--
You should be on an odexed stock ROM (rooted of-course) in order for this to work. If you are on a custom ROM, don't bother, it won't work for you. You will need to wait for the dev of your ROM to make a patch or upgrade.
I set this up to only flash the kernal and the patches. Recovery will not be effected. This is confirmed working for me.
The US version -- http://www.mediafire.com/?3aa16qy7sh4t9m4
The WW version -- credit to Lizard -- http://www.mediafire.com/?nw4zgwvl3yug0tw
The TW version -- thanks to wai43 for the files -- http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?cfq6d5lug4q4sd8
I will not be responsible if you brick your tablet. This patch worked fine for me, but may not work for others.
If I'm on stock rooted ics... Should I full wipe? Or just wipe cache and flash over? Thanks

I didn't wipe anything. It worked fine for me. It works just like a normal update. You may need to be sure to have all the factory installed files though. I did the update from a full stock, rooted ROM. Worked great.
You sir are awesome. Worked perfectly.
For those like mE that edited thier system.
1. I flashed ics full over my set up to restore it without losing my settings.
2. Root keeper to keep root.
3. Flashed this update.
4. Used root keeper to restore root.
5. Profit????

Honestly, I don't know if we can profit from this... lol, but thanks is just fine. I've been dabbling in this crap for years, but I had to go back to the drawing board to get that script to work right. I hope that ASUS has their crap together and don't release a bunch of patches over the next few months, that would suck for all the devs. It is supposed to have some benefits, but I've been playing with this for a few hours and haven't seen anything amazing yet... I'm working on some thing based on this and will release soon.
BTW, for those with random reboot issues, I have yet to have experienced that -- since the original update. Anyway, just my 2 cents.

I didn't have the reboot error either. I wasn't even going to install the update. But since you made it easy....
Thanks for the uneventful update.
I HAVE experienced RR on ICS; will see what happens.
The poll in the other thread does not lead me to believe that this update fixes all the problems that lead to random reboots.
Anyway, thanks.
Btw, I tried to capture the update blob but after I renamed it, it disappeared from the /cache
I was just curious as to what you did to the update to defang it.
Is removing the recovery enough?
Does it also carry a bootloader update which you also have to remove?

I packed only the boot.img in the file. All the other junk is gone. From what I saw in the unpacked boot.img, there appears to be minor changes in the files. Quite possibly updates.

Can you just add superuser binary and the app plus busybox to the user script? I'm curious how you could go about further de clawing this update for rooted users.. maybe not wipe the system xbin folder just amend it? I'm out of my element...

I backed up su with OTA RootKeeper then rebooted into CWR. I flashed the zip, rebooted and let the update "optimize [my] apps". Once that was done I was greeted with my usual homescreen. A toast notification informed me WebKey was granted SuperUser permission, as always happens on bootup.
Surprised, I launched SuperUser and saw a corresponding new entry in the log. I double checked my current version of su, which was found to be current. I'm assuming that a "No newer version of su available" means su (and thus root) wasn't removed during the upgrade.
I next launched OTA RootKeeper which oddly reported my TF101 was no longer rooted. Nonetheless I hit RESTORE and root is back: or rather OTA RootKeeper is happy now.

Patch good for Non US Firmware?
I have tried to flash this update but I get an asset failure. Could that be due to the fact that I am running stock WW ICS and not the US version?

Sharpe thank you for this zip. I have a US B80 and the stupid update would start to install and then after getting about a 1/4 of the way it would freeze on the android with the exclamation point. Your zip solved that problem and so far no reboots or any weirdness. I do have one question about the update though, how do I stop the tablet from trying to take the OTA(it is persistent).
Thanks
So I just received my tablet. I received a system firmware update . Should I ignore since I plan to root and install custom rom.
THE BOSS AKA THE BEAST !
Well if you plan on unlocking the device and installing custom roms its up too you. The unlocking app dosent care what firmware you have. I also believe they can all be 1 click rooted, again if you unlock then rooting isnt going to be an issue.
True, 1ClickRoot worked fine with my TF300T running the .30 update.

Yes, this is the one. Worked fine with my TF300T running the latest firmware (.30) and a locked bootloader. You'll be fine with that method (use the 1.1 version).

Hi
I recently bought a Nexus 7 that came with 4.1.1. I updated ota to 4.1.2 then rooted with a toolkit. For reasons I can't remember I then un-rooted and locked back bootloader. Now, games like dead trigger tell me my device is incompatible with them, even though they ran well on 4.1.1.
What can I do ? Flash another stock version of 4.1.2 ?
Thank you
I don't think there is any link between your root status and software compatibility, you could flash the 4.1.2 stock image to be sure, but I think it more likely that your game needs to be updated.
Rooting does not change your build.prop fingerprint, but the update to 4.1.2 does. This is what the market uses to judge what software will run on your device along with your locale.

There's a lot of things that aren’t compatible with 4.1.2. I'm still running them. You can make a back up the next time to keep the apps. Or use app back up and restore to make a apk and install it on your N7.

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?

So any ideas on how to update to ICS? The ROM in android development section says it requires me to have ICS first.

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.

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.

Hi folks,
Anyone in the know, please correct me if I'm wrong or close this thread or whatever. I just wanted to share some stuff I've seen as well as my personal experience with the new 4.2 update.

I know this has been stated in existing threads but I figure that in the excitement to flash, some folks may grab the update and then look to older 4.1-based guides on how to root and install custom recoveries only to realize that they can't. I thought it might be beneficial to post a big fat thread right up front to serve as an easily viewable cautionary note.
I would normally say that I was burned by this excitement, but in fact I don't really mind because right now I'm mostly just using it to read books and Pocket-ized webpages. Others should take note though.

Good to know. Would you say it's safe to "downgrade" to a previous version or even a different ROM then, or would the changed partition structure screw with the ability to do a clean wipe? Apologies if this is a n00b-sounding question.
Locked, Rooted, Factory reset, 4.2.1 OTA flashed, Still have root
I was locked and rooted on 4.1 with OTA root keeper installed and did a factory reset folowed by the 4.2.1 OTA and root keeper restored root. I have been rooted since ICS. This seems to be the only way right now to have rooted 4.2.1 on the TF300T.

So you have a rooted 4.2.1 Asus ROM?? I wonder if OTA Root keeper would work with installing the update via fastboot. Or wait, how did you install the OTA 4.2.1? If you are rooted you must be unlocked, thus, not receiving the OTA update and having to download the blob from asus website.

I rooted ICS on a locked TF300T when I first received it. Yes....it was possible to root locked ICS at that time. Then with OTA root keeper, I kept root when 4.1 OTA happened. Then OTA 4.2.1 came and I retained root again with OTA root keeper....I am still locked so I still receive Asus OTA updates.
With new twrp 2.4.4.0, you guys now can install root and custom recovery. It is tested by me and other people :good:
