[UPDATE] CWM flashable ASUS update for ICS -- updated US, TW and WW version

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?

I got the error in the image I tried a couple of options including the microsd.

that is an assert failure. The update isn't happy due to the ROM you're running. if you aren't on a US ROM, it wont update.

Thank You
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

Now the question I am wondering is... Is it worth it? Potentially sacrificing root and CWR? I have been running 0.0.7.3 CM9 build for many months now and am curious to what you all think.
Pros/Cons? I've heard battery life is terrible, which is odd because I feel like I have good battery life on the CM9 Port. Also... Is root completely gone? Does OTA Rootkeeper help? My biggest concern (I'd probably even lose root if it is fixed), does the pen work as advertised? Or is the infamous 'pen wonk' bug still present?
Pen wonk = writing notes for ~10-15 minutes, pen is suddenly not responsive. Sleep/waking the device fixes it usually. This has been present in every stock Honeycomb build as well as all the CM9 Port builds so I am very curious if this is fixed because I believe it is a hardware issue (Lenovo please prove me wrong). Any info would be much appreciated.

I was able to go from a rooted, CWM'd device (US 64GB) to a fully rooted device without CWM.
After a few painful steps to get an old busybox file restored and stock recovery enabled, the upgrade process was very simple and so far it is working very well with ICS. There hasn't been enough time to judge battery life yet....
Make sure you follow the instructions that other's have posted about using RootKeeper. That is the only thing I needed to use to restore root perfectly.

I updated with CWR rather than reverting to stock recovery. Everything worked fine. However, it did get rid of the stock recovery.

That is good news about the ability to keep root. At least in keeping root, we should theoretically be able to restore CWR.

Still fail, due to indigo being required in build.prop (this error is caused by CWR)

Still failed for gps.conf.
Commented out each line in update-script mentioning gps.conf

Check to see if there's custom recovery installed. You should flash a factory image and wipe it clean to be 100% sure it'll take an OTA.

Yes he said he had clockwork on it but I prefer twrp which I'll probably flash..
That's if I decide to just throw a sick based rom on it instead.
Can you recommend a good stock based rom that would continue to be updated?

Hmm... Well, I dunno if Team Android makes any more ROMs but those are as close to stock as you can get. Perhaps going simple CyanogenMod or Carbon would be great alternatives if you cannot flash to stock (although there may not be anymore OTAs it's super stable). I don't think the little one will care too much about customizing the UI.

True. I just want something stable so any apps or movie players (MXplayer) run without an issue.
Always seems like cm had so many bugs, even the so called "stable or snapshots".
I saw that SlimKat had a few stable builds. I love that on my 2013 N7 and my G2. Super stable

That I'm not sure of. If the /system partition was changed at all, the md5 would come out invalid and it would send you into a bootloop. You'd also need stock recovery but you can flash an OTA through custom recovery as a .zip. I seriously recommend flashing a stock image if you expect to take an OTA because you really don't know what the original owner had done...

New OTA: 44S Rolling Out Now [Original and Modified OTAs Included]

Just FYI: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/cm-11s-44s-ota-is-out.173057/
...didn't see the typical insta-thread here, heh.
Greetings friends,
Happy Weekend! Thanks to our buds at Cyanogen, a new OTA will be rolling out to your phones starting today. This new release includes some new fixes such as a resolved SSLv3 POODLE security issue and updated touchscreen firmware.
The OTA will be released slowly and therefore some regions might receive it before others. Once you’ve received your OTA please let us know what you think! Any further issues you may find can also be reported directly to Cyanogen.
Here’s a comprehensive list of changes you’ll find in this update:
Fixed issues with memory causing screen artifacts
Fixed issues with random reboots and instability
Fixed issues with WiFi and modem crashes
Fixed issues with Filesystem
Fixed issues with “black bar”
Fixed issues with persist partition corruption
Fixed issues with AT&T VoLTE
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Edit: Forgot to mention... this includes a new modem, I know people are always interested in that.
As a side note, I've been running the build as part of an early access test for a few days now... has been extremely solid for me.
Edit again: LINKS!
• Link to the OTA: http://builds.cyngn.com/fota/incremental/bacon/cm-bacon-ac1ccf7921-to-5fa8c79c0b-signed.zip
MD5: 684bc3eb256f06a912505628551cba24
Super mini guide: As long as your system is stock, flash away in stock or custom recovery. I always re-flash the SuperSU zip immediately following, YMMV.
• Link to the OTA with a modified script (by @gianton) for installing regardless of system changes: https://mega.co.nz/#!EdBQ1Y4C!P85kyvVp1iR_I4IiuLKPxGBqskE3fueWe0OGAFidGEg
MD5: 3b5729b07200c0e53a02f6b1225fc79c
FAQ (since people are allergic to reading and searching):
1. ZOMG WHY NO WIFI AFTER OTA?: Because you used a custom kernel and didn't clean up your system files properly. Either follow that kernel threads instructions for OTA-prep'ing or flash back to that kernel.
2. I don't run CM 11S but I can totally flash this CM11S update, right?: No. If you want to flash the 44S OTA update, get yourself to CM11S 38R.

Not in any meaningful way. Just have the SuperSU zip on your phone and flash it after you flash the OTA.

going to be constantly refreshing for OTA. Currently on stock, unrooted, and planning on leaving it that way for now, can the zip be flashed in stock recovery?

AT&T LG G Pad 7.0 LTE Lollipop Released

Hi all,
For those with the AT&T version of the LG G Pad 7 the Android 5.0.2 update is here. Looks to have been released 2 days ago actually. See http://www.att.com/esupport/softwareUpdateArticle.jsp?sid=KB425003&cv=820
My tablet is not rooted or modified in any way. I checked for updates, says none available so no upgrade for me yet. Will post back once I get it. I've upgraded other devices from KitKat to Lollipop and they are always laggy after the upgrade. I plan to upgrade then factory reset the tablet as that seems to work out much better.

Finally received the update. All went well since I as not rooted or anything like that. Not used it for long but seems a bit more responsive. I did factory reset and set up as new after doing the Lollipop upgrade.

Does anyone know a successful root method. I've tried everything with no luck. There's got to be some way.

hi, were you connected to att network when recieved the update?

Yes my G Pad 7 has a valid/active AT&T Sim card in it. I have it on my mobile share value plan.

Is there a way to root 5.0.2? Everything I have tried seems to fail.

No way to root lollipop. I'm back on KK and working on PAC Rom build.
Sent from my D6503

I have the KK source code for the v410. Is there no way to build a KDZ from it? I am guessing there is not because someone would have though of this by now.

I still don't see this update available. Im using it on wifi only, with no sim card. Can this be the issue?

The mobile(SIM) network is used to access protocols(most common is time/date and OTA) that routers ignore. To update go to AT&T and ask for a new SIM or root; custom recovery; flash update.

For those with the AT&T version of the LG G Pad 7 the Android 5.0.2 update is here. Looks to have been released 2 days ago actually. See http://www.att.com/esupport/softwareUpdateArticle.jsp?sid=KB425003&cv=820
My tablet is not rooted or modified in any way. I checked for updates, says none available so no upgrade for me yet. Will post back once I get it. I've upgraded other devices from KitKat to Lollipop and they are always laggy after the upgrade. I plan to upgrade then factory reset the tablet as that seems to work out much better.

The mobile(SIM) network is used to access protocols(most common is time/date and OTA) that routers ignore. To update go to AT&T and ask for a new SIM or root; custom recovery; flash update.

Hi, dear, I have been looking for that zip for a long time, can you please give me a link of that as you have said there's a zip with the update, But you didn't share the link of that update kindly do please.
As far as i don't have an AT&T SIM and if i would have one i don't live in the US of America so the OTA on the SIM card is impossible, that way i have asked you guys to share a link you have or someone might have seen it somewhere around the world.

I downloaded KingRoot from app store and that does the trick.

Is there a manual zip file or something for lollipop? Att with no sim. No OTA available

KingRoot APK worked for me..took two tries..then I replaced their flavor of SU with SuperSU....I still have not been able to custom recovery the beast tho.. Lollipop 5.0.2..tried to Flashify with TWRP 3.0.0.0 Bumped..I get boot certification error when I try to go into recovery.. But I can reboot back into Stock ROM..kinda got cold feet..don't want to hose the device!

Memory woes
I've been running my v410 with lollipop for a while now and was getting pretty discouraged that apps keep crashing. Large apps like games will crash when a calendar notification pops up, etc.
I used KingRoot to gain root and then SuperSUme to replace SU and remove KingRoot bloat. Mostly to kill ads since I'm running stock with no custom recovery (there are only about 6 apps I use that require SU)
So anyway, I recently installed Kernel Adiutor to take a peek at some kernel tweaks. Low and behold, the default low memory killer settings are set super aggressive! The most aggressive preset available in Kernel Adiutor is still only half of the default values. I knocked it down to "moderately aggressive" and my memory problems are gone (mostly). I'm now playing with the Z-RAM settings to try and get my memory usage to be more efficient.
I was afraid I would have to downgrade to KK to get this thing back to usable. Perhaps not...
