If you copy any of this page, please refer back to this post, thanks.
I'm writing at the top here to say a few people have been misquoting my thread. Headings are now colour coded for your pleasure, to make it more clearly marked.
The top section shows unofficial (and now official too) ACTUAL CHANGES that people have reported fixed, etc. and from my own extensive testing, in the various FOTA updates already released by Asus. (Screenshots of most these builds at the bottom of the first two posts)
In the bottom section (now located in Post #2) is a list of bugs that need/needed fixing in the ICS and honeycomb builds of android respectively.
*For users who have rooted and have CWMRecovery, these firmware updates will FAIL when you try to install. You will have to un-root your device or wait for a safe flashable file to become available. Rooting voids your warranty.*
N.B. This list is primarily based on the Wifi only models. Your tablet/dock may come with an outdated/updated version of the firmware. These changelogs are based on the revisions shown in the screenshots posted below. Now that the TF is available in more countries, the FOTA updates (as of 26th April 2011) are more country dependant. So, if you post with information to be added to the changelog, please specify as many details you feel are relevant, including if you are fully stock or running a rooted device, along with the country you are from and SKU.
(If you have ANY problem after an update, use the 10-12sec force power off trick to try a fix. If that doesn't help, back up everything you want to keep and do a full factory reset, settings>privacy>factory data reset.)
________________________________
General Info:
The FOTA (firmware over the air) updates will be 'pushed' (sent) to your device when a new version is made available by Asus, as long as your wifi is on at the time.
If your wifi wasn't on at the time, your device will be made aware of the update the next time you switch it on.
If you know there has been an update released, and your device has not detected it yet, you can force an update check, via Settings>About Tablet>System Update. You may need to repeat this a couple of times to get the file to start downloading.
Once your device knows of the update it will automatically download it in the background and then display a notification on the bottom bar near the clock. Click it to start the update.
If you have to manually update your firmware for some reason, the files are usually available from the Asus website THIS LINK or THIS LINK or via the Asus FTP server HERE. (If those links don't work for you then just go to your country specific Asus page and download from there). It takes a while (several weeks after an official FOTA update is pushed out) for Asus to upload the latest updates to their servers so be patient. Old 8.2.3.9 files are HERE (or you may need 8.4.4.5) if you need to downgrade to root.
-Select Download>Android. Download the correct version for your device. (see below for SKU version info)
-Then read the user guide file (PDF) attached to the bottom of this post. It tells you everything about manually updating.
The SKU versions on the asus firmware page, are as follows:
US = USA
CN = China
TW = Taiwan
WW = Worldwide (for any other device that doesn't have a specific country SKU, e.g. the UK)
DE = Germany
TB = Belgium, Turkey, Luxembourg
JP = Japan
**(any firmware updates after 9.2.1.17 for current DE and TB users requires the 'special' update file available from the Asus website. This will enable those devices to upgrade to the latest WW sku updates when they are pushed out.)**
...make sure you get the correct version for your device (Check your build number and SKU in Settings>About tablet).
Things to know before you update:
It usually takes up to 10minutes to update your device (may take as little as 4minutes or a lot longer if you have encrypted your files).
If your device is already rooted, WITHOUT recovery installed, the update will remove root. If rooted WITH recovery installed, the update will fail.
You must have at least 50% battery charge before clicking the update button. Having it plugged into the mains is optional, however it is recommended (by asus) if you are updating from a microsd card.
Settings/files should be kept as is, but this isnt guaranteed. I didn't need to do a backup, but I recommend people do anyway just to be safe.
Do NOT touch your device while it updates.
Your device should automatically restart itself once finished updating.
Updating the dock can be done at a later date if your tablet was not plugged into the dock when you received the update. When you plug in the dock you will get another update notification. Click it to continue.
The dock update can take anything from 30seconds - 2minutes. Be patient and don't touch it while it's updating. The caps lock led will flash while it updates. A small message appears onscreen once it's finished, and you can then use it normally.
*I highly recommend you power down your tablet after this process is complete, then power it back up again, to check to see that the update has applied correctly in the system settings. If you get anything strange happening to your device after an update, and no one else seems to have the same problem, do a factory reset.*
A few reasons your device may not be receiving/updating via the automatic FOTA releases: (Possible solutions)
You have a rooted device #1. Use NVflash to revert back to a total stock device, then re-flash an official rom from the Asus FTP server.
You have a rooted device #2. Unroot using the guide HERE. Then reflash the latest official firmware you can get your hands on from the Asus FTP server.
You have upgraded/downgraded from another firmware incorrectly. Refer the Rom chef's guide you flashed for info.
The file is corrupted. Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>DMClient. Tap on Clear data and Clear Cache. Force power off the device (10-12sec power button hold), wait 30secs and turn device back on again.
It's a fairly large file and your internet connection may be very slow. Be patient.
Wifi is switched off. Turn on wifi!
Battery has less than 50% charge. Plug it in to charge!
It's not been released in your country yet. Be patient.
The file transfer was interrupted. Check wifi connection.
Your device serial number may not be recognised by the Asus update server. Contact Asus support.
A modem/router/firewall is blocking the transfer. Temporarily lower your firewall, or put your device IP into the DMZ option in the router settings.
It still doesn't download the update after doing the things above. Try a hard reset.
Argh ... Aliens!!! Repent all sins, run for the hills or build a fortress out of tinfoil to protect yourself.

Maintaining these lists has started feeling like a job so if anyone feels like buying me a coffee (via the donate button) or a new house (wouldn't say no to that one ) it's much appreciated (I've made it through too many sleepless nights with a cup o' Joe lately). Or if you don't like that idea then please consider donating to The Red Cross, as they certainly deserve it a lot more than I do.

Things needing to be fixed
If you notice any items on this list have been fixed in your firmware version, please post details (firmware version, your country, item fixed, number of days you have tested, etc). If a few people confirm an item is fixed I will remove it.
----
ICE CREAM SANDWICH (Current build):
Tablet:
Overall max volume level decreased.
Apps battery % data unavailable.
Occasionally device restarts itself when in sleep mode then gets stuck on asus bootscreen.
Occasionally device shuts down from sleep mode (was in HC builds also, possibly hardware related) and reboots.
Flickering diagonal graphics glitch. Possible overlay or screen refresh rate issue. Can be re-created by opening the Youtube app, then opening the notification area.
Incorrect cursor placement when editing text boxes in stock browser.
Frequent stock browser lockups and crashes when viewing web pages with lots of flash animations/videos.
Default email client doesn't automatically sync emails based on the time interval stated in the settings.
Incorrect clocks. Notification bar clock, lockscreen clock and extended notification clock occasionally show different times.
Stock browser text selection arrows occasionally stay onscreen after you have finished editing text.
Frequent MyLibrary app crashes on opening pdf files.
Stock browser closes itself seemingly randomly.
File manager closes itself seemingly randomly.
Dock:
TBD
----
HONEYCOMB (Obsolete build):
Tablet:
Text selection indicators in default browser can be extremely inaccurate.
Speaker imbalance. (louder in right speaker) (some units) (Fix for rooted users HERE) ASUS PLEASE just make it so users can select from 2 different profiles (the srs_processing.cfg file is all that needs editing!) or something. This is such an easy fix to implement and it would 'fix' so many peoples device sound. We shouldnt have to root to get this to work ourselves.
Default e-mail app gets stuck 'searching' for emails. No way to tell if it is downloading an amazingly large file or if it's hung. Some feedback from the app saying what it's doing would be helpful.
Wifi frequency band HC option missing in the settings. (all units)
HDMI only outputs at 720p. Possible flickering screen issues. (some units)
Speaker 'pop' issue. After a period of inactivity with the speakers, and then suddenly they are required to play a sound, a small pop is heard, before the rest of the audio plays properly. (some units)
Disk full error. (HC bug. Disk gets filled up with... nothing. A full reset is required to fix it) (some units)
Asus weather widget text display problems. (workaround: either remove and re-add widget, or grab the widget and rotate the screen then dump widget down again.) (some units, perhaps based on the length of the place name?)
Encryption problems. (some units)
Random times, soft reset issue, when connected to the dock. (some units)
No sound after device wakes from standby. (some units)
Plugging in headphones and still getting sound coming from main speakers. (some units)
Speaker fails to resume working after bluetooth a2dp disconnect (some units)
HDMI while connected to some models of tv only gives a black screen. (Most likely a tv rather than a tablet issue. Update your tv firmware.)
Occasionally when trying to move a widget, the widget gets stuck and can float around the screen, wherever you place your finger, but cannot be placed down normally. Pressing the home button dumps the widget back into it's original position, but then device becomes non responsive. Requires powering the unit down to fix. (very rare bug) (all units)
Email list widget doesnt always update when email is received.
No way to save currently taken camera pictures to a different location (microsd card, etc).
Finger/mouse 'click events' not showing in default browser (not showing what was selected before the page loads).
When editing text a few times the green selector mis-aligns making it harder to select what you're trying to highlight or edit.
Cannot use front facing camera with a flash application in browser.
Songs pause at the end of each track, requiring input from the user to proceed when using the default music app, while device is in standby. (App HERE to use in the meantime)
When pressing the fixed 'back' button at the bottom of the screen or the 'back' quick control, while using the default browser, sometimes does not populate the screen with exactly the same page as before (missing text/pictures e.g. going 'back' a page onto a previously displayed google search page shows the google logo and search box, but no search results. Seems to do the same thing with facebook pages too.)
Sometimes website thumbnails in the default browser only show a default icon in the bookmark tab instead of a page preview.
Bookmark widget not loading links properly when clicked. (Temporary solution is to undock, rotate the screen to portrait orientation, then rotate back to landscape)
Default email client shows incorrect notification text (showing previously deleted (or just older) emails info instead of new incoming email) occasionally.
Stock browser infrequent screen lockups.
Random speaker popping when device is in standby (Speaker stays active even when volume is set to 0, ie. 'off').
Spell checker disabled while using the dock.
Dock:
Problem with the dock battery. Avoid allowing your dock battery to empty itself fully, or you may no longer be able to re-charge it. Possible fix HERE.
Problem with standby, early dock units (B4, B5 and B6 keyboard docks) Link HERE.
No way to tell the level of internal dock battery. (unless you plug in the charger) (all units not running the old beta firmware) (XDA member made apps for this HERE and HERE)
Keyboard key delay. (possibly caused by text prediction being enabled. Try turning off and report back.) (some units)
Weather widget vanishes from screen on connecting to dock. (HC 3.2) Remove and re-add widget to fix.
The spacebar key in the youtube app search box (while viewing a video) doesn't function properly. More details HERE.
Stock gallery does not show pictures from USB sticks.
There's a potential problem with all game controllers that require power from the device. As even when you plug in the charging lead, the keyboard dock doesnt seem to charge itself unless the tablet is fully charged already, and the controllers draw power from the dock battery, making any gaming session short lived.
Not able to recharge some dock batteries once the charge is fully depleted. (some units)
Adapter
Known fault with a specific model of charger. (Info HERE)
Things I'd love to see added
A startup sound during the boot animation sequence.
To be able to click a button to refresh all email accounts at once while in the combined view of the default mail app.
Custom speaker level app built-in.
A way to hide the google search box, voice input, apps and + onscreen items.
A way to hide the various media card icons in the notification bar.
A way to select the specific pictures you want to show in the MyZine picture slideshow window. now an added feature
_______________
*I'll add details of fixes when I find them. If you find something not listed then please post the info in this thread and I'll update this post. Thanks.*
_______________
Maintaining these lists has started feeling like a job so if anyone feels like buying me a coffee (via the donate button) or a new house (wouldn't say no to that one ) it's much appreciated (I've made it through too many sleepless nights with a cup o' Joe lately). Or if you don't like that idea then please consider donating to The Red Cross, as they certainly deserve it a lot more than I do.

They are massive widgets so you basically need an empty screen to add them. As for your other issues I'm not getting those.

Wow...I see what you mean. Why does a widget that seemingly is pretty useless take up so much space ?
My problem with google is getting igoogle. I can get basic google search on dolphin hd but when I log into igoogle I get a blank screen
Just seen a tweet in @paulobriens timeline from @stridger that this update enables signature checking on updates. So, if you apply this update, you may no longer be able to apply custom ROMs.
That being the case, I'm going to avoid this update until a "safe" version is posted/included in MCR.

I'll add this to 1st post then. Cheers for info.
Still attempting to get MyZine running. It working for the rest of you?
They have fixed the compass. Mynet is also now ikn english instead of Spanish one strange thing is that the default device name in mynet is tf102, when it should be tf101. @vibe is now integrated into the mylibrary app and we now have a cloud storage app. im also finding the asus keyboard is not laggy but that's in apps - not tried it in the browser yet.

If it's so, it's a big problem that could cause me to (again) cancel my order because all new Transformers will already have it installed.

If you've already ordered, and your Transformer is expected by the end of April, I seriously doubt this update would be preinstalled.
They are not going to reimage a whole load of boxed up Transformers when they can update via OTA.

"Forever" is the wrong word here - a better word would be "currently".
The update is only just out, and no one has had time to try to work around this issue yet. I would imagine that some bright spark somewhere will come up with something in due course.

It wasn't available for me either.
Download from the Play Store the app Firmware Finder and you will be able to get the update via this app.
Just follow the instructions in the video guide in the app.
ALWAYS choose the Full OTA variant.
Unfortunately VKY-L29C636B170 is not yet on the list Firmware Finder.

For me it is on firmware finder, but my huawei p10 plus won't find it on OTA or through HIsuite :/
Both are saying my phone has latest firmware.
So i'm out of ideas how to get it installed over OTA or HIsuite.
just received update today :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
No update here either - In UK but with a dual SIM upgraded phone - on VKY-L29C636B124.
I received today OTA VKY-L29C636B170 in Europe.
It is also now on the list Firmware Finder to download.
Available here in Australia

Just got it via Hi-Suite - installed without a hitch. 3D camera mode is cool!
If phone offers B171, don't download it, battery life decreased drastically
Is it for B636? Is it bad.?
is it me or the firmware ? Low light photography quality has degraded after the last 2 updates. This update is the worst!
Auto-mode, same lightning condition, now takes darker photos..
Manual 3200ISO, 1/4 sec, also takes darker photo compared to previous firmware version. B123 was the best!.
I think u need to perform full reset... Might fix it

About Oreo - I Don’t Know, but if you want update to the latest ROM (PIC-LX9C432B150/151) you need to use FF https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146
EMUI 8.0 for PIC-AL00 - PIC-AL00C00B311
EMUI 8.0 not only brings you the latest version of Android (8.0), it's also boosted with a lot of great features and improvements to make your device more intuitive, faster and safer. We highly recommend updating now.
Recommended level: ★★★★★
● Smarter
Smart recommendations anticipate the services you need and give you timely suggestions. HiVoice can check your system, and search for settings at your command. And HiBoard lets you track your packages and manage bookmarked articles with ease.
● Faster
AI-based optimizations deliver greater stability, fluidity, and speed. The system boots faster, videos are more fluid, and image thumbnails load in a flash.
● Safer
Updates to TrustSpace, Find my phone, and PrivateSpace offer greater payment security, more robust system and app security, and enhanced privacy.
New ways of interacting
● Adds a feature enabling you to add 3D dynamic images to Magazine unlock images. Enjoy images from different angles.
● A new floating Navigation dock lets you perform frequently-used operations from anywhere on the screen.
● Newly added home screen shortcuts let you quickly access the app features you use most frequently. Simply touch and hold an app icon to display a shortcut menu.
● Enjoy exclusive preloaded theme.
Smart features
● HiTouch lets you quickly isolate keywords from onscreen text and get links to related services such as restaurants, hotels, movies, and more. Simply hold two fingers on the text to generate keyword and service cards.
● HiVoice communicates with you more fluidly and understands you better. Use simple voice commands to enable or disable features such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, or ask for information about the status of your device (Voice commands only available in Chinese).
● Smart tips recommend you faster and smarter ways to operate your phone, appearing in specific usage scenarios and responding to your usage habits.
● HiBoard (accessed by swiping right on the home screen) now features a Save for later feature that lets you save social media posts and news articles as cards for later reading.
● HiBoard now features an Instant access feature that lets you access frequently used services in a single step. Make QR code payments, hail a taxi, or make a restaurant reservation with ease.
● HiBoard now features delivery cards that you can use to keep track of your packages. Get onscreen collection prompts when you approach parcel lockers.
Enhanced security
● The PrivateSpace menu has been optimized, making it easier to create a PrivateSpace on your device. Files can now be moved between the MainSpace and PrivateSpace with ease.
● TrustSpace now provides protection for more than 500 apps.
● Find my phone now lets you track your phone's movements and extend its battery life to increase your chances of retrieving it.
Higher efficiency
● Contacts and Email now let you sync the career details of your LinkedIn contacts.

● Gallery now features a recycle bin that retains deleted photos for up to 30 days. Accidentally deleted photos can be restored with a single touch.
● Phone Manager has been simplified to make managing your device easier. Standard cleanups are faster and deep cleanups more thorough.
● Recorder now features speech-to-text conversion.
● Your device can now connect to two different Bluetooth devices simultaneously, such as a band and a car.
1. Automatic time zone uses location information to set a time zone when Location information is enabled.
2. Due to the redesign of Settings, the location of certification logos, legal information, and regulatory information (if applicable) has been altered.
3. To improve your experience, Smart notifications will be updated when you are connected to Wi-Fi. You can disable auto-updates in Settings.
1. This update will not erase your personal data, but we recommend that you back up any important data before updating.
2. Some third-party apps that are not compatible with Android 8.0 may function incorrectly after the update. It is recommended that you update these apps to their latest versions in HiApp.
3. This system version can be rolled back to the official version of EMUI 5.1 using HiSuite. Rolling back the system version will erase your personal data. Please back up your data in advance. For more information, please contact the customer service hotline.
4. If you encounter any issues, you can go to HiCare, Huawei Club, or call the official helpline at 400-830-8300 or 800-830-8300 (landline).
5. Your home screen layout may be rearranged slightly.

Hello Adam,
I have installed this version and I have several issues, hope you can help me:
1. I can't install apps from Google play store while using cellular connection, only with wi-fi. I granted permission to use the data to the play store.
2. All of my purchased apps from Google are not recognized by the app and state that I have to buy the premium version.
3. My contacts in the Google account can't be synced (other info of google is synced)
When I installed this ROM I cleared the data
Thanks

I have installed this version and I have several issues, hope you can help me:
1. I can't install apps from Google play store while using cellular connection, only with wi-fi. I granted permission to use the data to the play store.
2. All of my purchased apps from Google are not recognized by the app and state that I have to buy the premium version.
3. My contacts in the Google account can't be synced (other info of google is synced)
When I installed this ROM I cleared the data
Thanks

After installation of google services via google installer,you need to allow all permissions of google apps names starting google in settings.Only open playstore after it.Uninstall services and do install again.Hope you got what i said.
Hi Adam!
I'm confused a bit about which ROM should I use. Currently I'm on stock 7.0.1.0G.
If I'm willing to upgrade which one should I use. There are quite a few options such as: 7.2.0.0A, 7.8.7.16G, 7.8.7.24A or even 7.8.8.9A.
I can't find a out whats are the differences. For sure all of them are Nougat based. but then...
Could you please guide me which one to pick?!
Thanks!
I need the original build.prop of the rom Flyme 7.2.0.0A Stable Final. I made many changes without a proper backup. If anyone can send me a copy, thank you.

Choose latest 7.2.0.0 A if your concern is about getting more stability and security patches.
Choose latest beta A if you want slight more battery backup.

I have some issue with 7.2.0.0A. I already installed it. But when I try to login into flyme account I get a message that I'm still loged in with another account and I have to logout with that first. I bought my Phone 2nd hand and the seller told me he removed this phone from his account.
The interesting thing that if I use the 7.0.1.0G than I can login with my own without any problem.
I'm still negotiating with the seller how could és solve this.
Do you have any idea how could I overcome this issue if I can't manage IT with the seller?
Thanks!

Login on flyme account using computer and change the password there. Once password changed you have to login everywhere again since all active sessions gone out.
Is there any way to install a altered ROM on this phone? If I add or delete anything from the official ROM then it states it is corrupt.
Or is it possible to install TWRP on it? I think with that maybe its possible to install some tweaked ROM.
Thanks

apparently there is no custom rom, twrp, xposed. what I recommend is to enable root and delete apps and system folders. I did and I gained more ram and less use of the processor in the background. and longer battery life

Never.It's not possible.Meizu will not allow us to unlock bootloader.
