Yea, im starting to regret buying dis thing. Ive spent the whole day going through tutorials and stuff, and all ive managed to do is install a custom recovery (CWM) that cant mount anything because its being denied permission. how dandy... I have a TF300T and build 10.6.1.27.5. I've heard that this build is not rootable, but im trying to stay optimistic here, so if you want to ruin my month by saying there is no root... well Ill go kick a rock around the freeway. Im just kidding. But seriously this is complicated. I have a rooted Samsung E4GT. which is alot easier cause of Odin, but this... idk im lost. Ive tried Motochopper and Debugfs or something like that, tried many, cant root it. Looking for some help
Cheers
I was in the same boat. I ess able to downgrade though. And then root. It was very simple. I downloaded 10.6.1.15.3 firmware for US localization ( make sure you get the right one). I unzipped it and put the file on the root of my external sdcard. As soon as I put the sdcard back in it immediately prompted me to downgrade. Worked great for me, was able to root after that no problems.

What he said. Hope is not lost, my friend. Just be mindful that the process erases the internal memory. In other words, this will wipe EVERYTHING including media, which normally doesn't get speed when flashing roms.
Just be sure to back up everything on your pc and/or external sd.

So does thats not a OTA update right? I read that you can mess up your device if you install the wrong version of the recovery depends on how you updated it
I just got my hands on this device last week. I'm not new to Android or any of this, but I did run into a few issues. I was on 27.5 now I'm unlocked and everything.
How I did it was too downgrade to 15.3 using pjc21 guide, I could not complete the guide as I was not unlocked, but once I was downgraded I could unlock and use motochopper to get recovery.
Make sure you are registered on asus site to get unlock to work.
What do you mean be registered in the asus website? I downloade the unlock tool from the asus website under the firmware then installed it

You have to make sure that the "inner" zip is placed on the root of your sd card. Also, try rebooting the tab with the ext plugged in. Let us know.

One more thing, The SD card is from my Samsung phone, It recognized it as external memory and didnt mount it. That might be the reason?

Wait, if you installed recovery then you're unlocked. Flash twrp recovery v2.5.0.0-4.2. Next, download supersu.zip...somewhere around here and put in root of your internal storage. Last go into recovery, flash supersu.zip and you're rooted.

Came home with 4.010.11 ota notification waiting for me. This is an update from 1.141.07 which I manually updated from 1.104. 02 weeks ago which I got from vache's ota thread in the dev section. Personally Tested this over 4.010.08 and 1.104.02 with factory recovery with sucsess. Others have tested it over custom roms as well.
I posted this for those with some modding know how and are impatient or for some reason not getting any acer updates. Use at your own risk and please do research on how to perform the update. It looks like many are getting the update today so give it a few days before bypassing the ota and using the above link.
If this helps you out please hit the thanks button on my post.
Have fun modding my Iconia brothers.

I just installed it over 4.010.08 on my other tab after decrypting and puting the update zip on my ext sd card and it went through on the factory acer recovery. Now reads 4.010.11_com_gen2
If my assumptions are correct this is a complete rom designed to go over anything you have and correct the build issues that others had experienced in 4.010.08 not allowing them to install.
Just restored to 1.104.02 then directly to 4.010.11 sucseffuly. This is a complete Rom.

I did some searches and read some threads, I've gathered understanding of my situation with OTA updates and why I wasn't seeing any come through. I was hoping someone would confirm my train of thought.
I updated from the leaked update.zip to 3.2 build 3.019.04_COM_GEN1
Because of that, I wouldn't get an OTA update.
I just downloaded and ran the update.zip and am on 4.010.11_COM_GEN2 Bryan posted
Everything seems fine and work.
...but, I can expect not to get OTA updates because I deviated from the OTA updates, and in a sense loaded a custom rom. That is unless I flash back to factory and reupdate?
Can someone just confirm that for me? I'm ok with downloading update.zip files, I'm kinda hands on anyways.
I just bought my Iconia A500 and it still has Acer_500_1.104.02_COM_GEN1...
How do I manually update? I tried updating to 1.141.07 like yours and nothing happened... Help?

Are you on 1.141.07 now? You have to download the file then decrypt it with the acer update decrypter. once its doen you extract the zip till you see the file that says update.zip , you put this file on the root of your ext sd card. put the micro sd (ext sd) card back into the tab and restart in the factory recovery by holding VOL- and Power at the same time till you see some white words come up in the corner of the screen. Let go of the buttons and let it complete.
I recomend you make backups of your stock image prior to updating and do your own research of the process thoroughly before continuing.
Good Luck my Iconia Brothers...

I'm on 1.104.02 right now. I ran the decrypter for 1.141.07 and put the update.zip on the root of the sdcard and into my a500 and powered on with volume key. Update came up and loaded halfway and then the progress bar went away and and exclamation point with the android guy came up and it just sat there with not progress bar. I held the power button and restarted. Went into settings to check the version and it stayed at 1.104.02...
Is the file you are using the 1.104.02 to 1.141.07? If not it won't work.
Try going straght to the 4.010.11 update. Use the same decrypt program and be sure you are putting the correct output file then extracted to get "update.zip" then put it on your ext micro sd Card directly not in another folder.

I was using the 1.104.02_1.141.07... I open the decrypter, press input file, find 1.104.02_1.141.07 and press start. I open the new decrypted file and take out the update.zip and place on the root of my sdcard. That is what I was doing. Try going from 1.104.02 to 4.010.11?
CONFIRMED! Coming from 1.141.07, running the update.zip from 4.010.11 works! 3.1 baby! Had this thing a day and it's been driving me crazy not being up to date! I'm here though!

Do not just open the decrypted file you have to unzip it first then take the update.zip file over to your external SD card. I just restarted mine to 1. 104. 02 and installed the update zip file directly through factory recovery so I can confirm this is a complete Rom and works on top of most builds.

Is this normal?
edit: I am rooted with a 3g/wifi Verizon model, running Tiamat 1.4.
This is US only, is it not?
I think so, but not 100% sure.
i was the last to get the first OTA, and looks like now one of the first to get this one. dont really care yet.
I got it. I used Clockwork to do a reboot and everything is back to normal.
Now I just have to keep my wife from using it unsupervised.

hay guys I found this file over at My Droid Life and if you have CWR all you have you do is unzip and put the file in your CWR backup folder and restore. I have confirmed that it will not delete any of your apps or folders it just gives you honeycomb 3.2. ok, it wont let me upload the file but you can find it here, follow the instructions at the bottom. if you already have CWR just unzip and restore.

So we can use the first file and restore from cwm? Of course I assume use the third paragraph.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
yeah the third paragraph, just download the update zip, extract it, put it in CWR backup and restore. It looks like I may be having some issues with sd card support, it shows up under storage but apps that use the sd card do not show it.
Then I'm gonna wait and see if anyone else has issues first.

It is know (like dothraki would say) that doing a manual update makes you lose root no matter what you do, you won't lose data but it seems something in the system gets overwritten making one lose root.

Try clearing the data from the task manager and/or doing a cold boot. I don't use the widget I have it disable though. If that doesn't work you might need to try a factory reset.

Just keep trying, wait a couple of hours and try again, my bet is that asus are overwhelmed with so many download requests. Failing download doesn't mean that your system is damaged or anything, after download if you get a laying android with a ! on top, then its failing installation.
Ok ppl, I am now on JB! Did a factory reset, then green arrow came right back. Root seems to have survived, trying to restore root now.....

I then rebooted, and got the yellow triangle sign saying that the software is not approved by ATT.
This is where I am stuck. I have a mac and am running vmware windows 8.
I tried downloading kies on the mac, and it does not recognize the phone. I did not try kies for windows yet, nor do I know what to do after if I am able to get kies to recognize the s4.
I also downloaded odin, and the firmware, but odin is not recognizing the phone under windows even when I select to use the phone under windows.
I tried the stock usb cable, and a different usb cable, and 2 different usb ports. I do not have a regular windows computer. Is there a way to do this with a mac?
Guess I should have downloaded the loki, is not downloading the loki the whole reason this is happening?
I appreciate everyones help! I just wanted stock android! :good:
I do not have a s4 but have a s2 but its like the same.
1. Why would you not already have Odin installed and kies?! Just in case
2. No backup made?...
3. Can you still get into recovery and download mode if so then you have hope.. wait for someone to give you steps to get out of this
4. If you can't get into either... well :banghead:

Mmm alright... Go into download mode and take out your SD card and download the Loki file in the ROM thread then transfer to sdcard on PC. Then place back in phone.. Then go intro recovery and flash the file and it should work.
But wait before anything can you get into recovery? If so then you go to mounts and storage and mount sdcard and transfer the Loki file from your PC right there.

I have installed kies on the windows version and it notices the phone is connected, but it just keeps saying "connecting..." and a little thing spinning. Not sure how long it should take to connect...
why not download the loki zip to sd card, then put back on phone, reboot to recovery and install from sd card...

Yes I can boot into recovery.
Wow I didn't even think of that... Sorry I am a noob.
Okay I fixed it (you fixed it thank you so much!) I booted into recovery, and then into the zip file and installed loki, and all is well.
STOCK ANDROID!!! Whew that was scary...

You could thank him for helping you. Or is that too hard for you? There's even a thanks button to make it easy

the OP of that ROM lists these specific installation instructions:
HOW TO INSTALL:
* Download the ROM (NO NEED FOR GAPPS)
* Reboot to Recovery
* Wipe data/factory reset
* Flash the ROM
* U.S. MODELS - Flash Loki Patch - http://tau.shadowchild.nl/files/loki-doki.zip (CANADIAN USERS DO NOT INSTALL)
* Reboot your Galaxy S4
* Enjoy
remember to read everything first and understand what you are doing before proceeding. cheers
And only 5 simple steps. One sec of reading. And it matters. Or kaboom.
so apparently when i flashed cm10.2 6/7 nightly build it frreezes my phones and wont boot up... CM team is aware of this bug and is telling people not to flash.
Problem: I only have 1 backup from TWRP from when i initially flashed my phone from touchwiz to CM10.2 and this Backup is on my PC.. and Im unable to transfer any file from my PC to phone, can anyone help, i have no older build of CM on my phone at all, just the bugged nightly.. i am able to get into TWRP recovery..
have you tried mounting in twrp? otherwise, use adb or run and grab an sdcard.
Do what beerdroid suggested. Push a rom on with adb. At least you learned a lesson, always keep a working nandroid on your phone just in case.
Take your pick. This is the easiest way.

Yea, but he still needs to push it onto his phone. Might as well push the nandroid.

Setting it up is a fairly involved process. Google sdk tools and adb. You'll need to install sdk. But not having an external sdcard isn't going to help. Probably the best thing you could do is get a sdcard and reader to connect to your computer and use those rather than adb. But it's up to you

so if i grab a micro SD and plug it to my pc, would i be able to just drag and drop a older stable nightly onto the card? or would formatting be required?
Adb sideload ftw.

Glad you got it sorted. You're going to grow to cherish that micro SD card. That'll be the best $15 you ever spent. Cheers
