TF101G

Asus upped 9.2.2.3 (WW, CN, & DE) for the TF101G today. It's on there TW FTP site. Just dlcdnet it for faster downloads.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ryunosuke_Aozora:
9.2.1.17 is also update AppBackup(2.0.1 > 2.1.6).

And, added "Disconnect network during sleep" in ASUS Custmize Settings.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Renesys:
Problem with updating

Hi! :)

I've a tf101g just back from the lab, where motherboard has been replaced.

The firmware version installed is: HTJ85B.WW_epad-8.6.5.6

For unknowable reasons, my device does not receive the update notification.

The android version installed is the 3.2, and after reading the first post, the result is:

1) my device is not rooted

2) battery full

3) I've stopped and restored (clear data and cache) DMClient service

4) my modem doesn't stop anything, cause I've tryed to search for updates using 3g and connected to other three wifi networks

5) tryed hard reset (wipe)

I've also tryed to put in my sd card (I've tryed several sdcards) the update-file downloaded from asus website, but nothing happens.

If I try to enter in asus bootloader, the android icon with gears appears, but after three seconds, it appears a yellow triangular mark with an exclamation inside of it.

Can you help me please?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
You can download the latest update file from the Asus website, then put it on a microsd card and your device will prompt you to update. Just make sure you get the tf101g version and not the tf101.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Renesys:
ok but...

Already tried that way...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Sorry thought you meant the normal sd card via keyboard dock, as you didnt say micro sd. They're different :). If yours was a tf101 I'd say you would need to NVflash it and then put on an older version of the firmware, but as you say it's a tf101g I dont know if yours has a totally locked SBK (secure boot key) or not, and if there's even a version of NVflash for your model. You'll have to ask or read those threads for more info. Good luck.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
You can update "reset bug fixed", as well. It most definitely is NOT fixed. We have numerous, numerous reports of sleep of death, lockup, boot loop, and spontaneous reboot on the new firmware. None of the above are yet fixed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BeavermanA:
Sigh, indeed.

Had high hopes this newest update would fix things. Transformer is a PITA to use now. What sucks is my TF only exhibited the random reboot like once every 2-3 days. Didn't think much of it.

Then I sent it in for RMA for an unrelated issue. Ever since I got it back, it does sleep of death or reboots immediately upon going to sleep, every time. Wake lock has been my only solution, but even that will drain my battery + dock battery in 48 hours idle. TF used to last like 7 days by itself idle.

I have an RMA out for this issue, but it doesn't look like sending it in will do much good, and my warranty expires on May 7...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yhw22:
Same problem too, to date already hit sleep of death and auto-reboot then hang at Asus logo.

My set is TW version, just updated yesterday. :mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dkolody:
My random reboots are now different.. I used to get the RR hanging spinning disk, RR and booting up usable and also the sleep of death.

Now i just get the flashing repeating asus logo and still the sleep of death.

and.....my screen tear is still happening...though less frequently.

At least it is different. lol

I think there were many issues causing the reboots. They may have fixed some....but absolutely not all..

I am already Impatiently waiting the next OTA update..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cky2000:
9.2.1.21 TW & US are up on there TW FTP. It's not synced to dlcdnet yet.

It looks like they dropped the 9.2.1.21 kernel too :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sthauge:
Old kernel

May be ASUS should update the Linux kernel to get the latest fixes? On my TF the kernel version is 2.6.39.4. On my Galaxy Nexus it is 3.0.8. It's not a big change in the kernel though, if I remeber correct Linus Torvalds change the numbering to 3.0 at 2.6.40
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dfin13:
Hooray!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gkillerx:
You are correct, what guevor did is added some backports of 3.0 and did it for me. no SOD's for over a 3 weeks now. and 3.0 and 2.6 it was just an update because of linux that celibrated it's 10 anniversary

Hi all,

On the first page under firmware notes (.21) I see that "Stock browser 'Always request desktop site' setting option added" has been added. Is that right? I don't see this option anywhere in my stock browser.

Also I can confirm update for WW/Slovakia. I have not had any reboot since yesterday and system run faster than before.

Thanks,

Open your browser then go to settings>advanced>always request desktop site.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] d3l1:
Is there a blob for the .21 DE already? Is there no other way then flashing CWM and then flashing SU? For the S2 there is a way to temporarily load CWM from stock recovery and then flash SU from that temporary CWM giving you root without installing CWM.

This does not really work. Even with this option checked at least Google serves some tablet version of it's search results page.

Funny how something basic like this does not get fixed. Don't the software company bigshots use tablets?

Chrome only has the option in a menu but you have to choose it for every page. For Firefox there's only an addon, but it doesn't work (maybe too old for current Firefox versions). And Dolphin is out since there's no desktop browser to sync with.

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

Never had these. But I'm running Asus plain vanilla ROM and don't have so many apps installed, mainly use it for email and browsing. Don't "tinker" with it. I think that's perhaps the key. If you keep installing all kinds of ROM's, playing with root access and all kinds of strange apps all the time, it's bound to become unstable. Sorry to say this... but Joe Sixpack probably has lot less problems with the Transformer than Neo the Nerd...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] RonSykes:
It's not an issue with custom ROMs. I haven't rooted my TF101 and I'm still getting RRs and BSODs. I just updated the firmware so I'll see soon if it makes a difference for me.

Originally I thought it was happening because I didn't do a factory reset but after a stable couple of days it started happening again.

Fingers crossed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
That's because Google still knows it's a tablet browser from the user agent string, and Google's search engine ignores your request for a desktop page and tries to force-feed you a tablet one. If you set another browser to copy the Android tablet UA string, you'll get force-fed the tablet page as well, or did last I checked. You can, somewhere in Google's settings, prevent this poor behavior.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xpeter88:

I don't think they have a clue what is wrong. Much worse for me after the update. Before it was just a very occasional issue that didn't bother me too much. Did a data reset to see if that helps.

Hi,

i bought my tf101g in Austria with a normal DE firmware, never rooted or something else.

Today I got a OTA Info to update, fine i think, I press yes.

After the update I have now

IML74K.WW_epad-9.2.2.4-20120424

Do i made a mistake or somethink else?

So, I applied update before reading notes here.

Naturally I didn't cold booted device...

Is there any way I can reapply update or some other "magic"?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
If your device is still restarting, etc. then you might have to flash an older firmware and then redo the latest update after a cold boot, unless asus brings out an official tool ofc. You'll have to check the threads on flashing older firmware as I'm not sure if this latest update changed any key components making a downgrade impossible at this time.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] locutus7o9:
You can still do the cold boot. The instructions were to cold boot after updating.

Cold boot clears memory and cache, it doesn't touch the files relevant to this update.

Going back to an older version and then applying the same update again won't make a difference.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mr Paul:
Nope they changed their minds and said to cold boot BEFORE the update
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
As mr paul says above its meant to be done before you update. It seems Asus cocked up the info but rectified it in time for the WW release.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
According to somebody who knows what he's talking about, the whole thing is snake oil. It already performs a cold boot both before and after, all by itself, as part of the update process:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26214682#post26214682

Asus telling you to cold boot is either indicative that they simply want to tell you to do *something* to make you feel like you're making things better (and more hopeful that everything will be OK), or that they don't understand their own update themselves.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dt34:
Noticed you can add folders on the homescreen now by drag and dropping app icons onto another app icon.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
That's an Ice Cream Sandwich feature, and has been there from the very first ICS build.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dt34:
Lol. Disregard the post and carry on then. :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Ah well whatever works for you. I just prefer to follow the official advice even if it is 'snake oil'. Id also prefer to think that they weren't totally incompetent and knew something about the product they work on but you never know. :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
True, and I applied the snake oil myself (in the manner Gary@Asus recommended) when doing the upgrade myself. Just saying that really, it likely makes absolutely no difference at all, and I don't think they've really "rectified" the info, they're just not being consistent in how they describe the way to apply the snake oil. ;-)

My point is really just to save anybody thinking they got it "wrong" and hence any further problems are their own fault. Remember that most people receiving the update will not even know of XDA, and will never be told to cold boot either before or after the update, but the update will still be pushed to them and installed regardless. Hence there is no way that a user-initiated cold boot could be considered an important part of the upgrade process, either before *or* after update. It's a meaningless recommendation from Asus, really.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cky2000:
Asus just posted V9.2.1.21(Special) for "DE" user. It looks like "DE" is now going to be "WW" nice...

[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
The updates were pulled due to the fact that some units were bricked by installing them. So, we'll just have to wait until Asus figures out what caused the issue.

I'm hopeful they'll get it figured out soon and make the updates available again soon. This week would be great...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
First post updated with official downloadable firmware link. Downloads>Android ... then select your correct version. Hopefully it's all fixed for people with problems now. Check and report back please.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pogul:
I wonder if there's any difference to what they have up there for download vs the 4/26 build. On the site is shows that it's 8.2.3.9 - but it says updated 5/1 not 4/26.

Also, it looks like you have to have a microSD card to do the firmware update this way - right? Doesn't look like you can just connect to your PC and move it to the internal storage (going by their instructions - they specifically call out the microSD).

Anyone know for sure?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
I believe the "MicroSD" they refer to is the SDcard mount. At least I hope so, because I'll be wanting to do the update over lunch (left my cable at home). I do hope I don't need to buy a microSD card just to install the update, although of course I will if I have to. :D

Edit: Oops, didn't read carefully. This is what it says:

3. Please copy the “ASUS” folder to the root directory of MicroSD card.

4. While your Eee Pad Transformer TF101 is on, insert the MicroSD card with “ASUS” folder.

So, hmmm... Maybe I DO need to get a card. Can I use the one from my Epic without blowing anything away? That saves me needing to wait until I have my cable...

Edit 2: Update went fine. Everything seems to be working without issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Yes you will need a microsd card to update via the asus site method. There will always be more FOTA updates pushed out to devices in the future though if you don't wish to use this method.

You can download it from Asus's website.

http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download

Choose OS version "Others"

Then firmware will show up.

Download the correct one for the UK, and also the PDF how-to.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gannon82:
Can I download straight onto transformer ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nxt:
Kinda sorta.

You gotta unzip it and put it on the microsd card though.

The zip for USA is: UpdateLauncher_US_epad_user_8239.zip

207megs.

Inside it is a folder ASUS, you need to extract that onto the microSD root.

You'll then get a notification saying it detected a system update, say yes, and it'll reboot a few times.
