Just to be sure.. i'm from germany, so i will downlaod the 8.6.5.21 WW Version, put it on the SD Card and flash it through recovery without wiping anything? So i don't lose root, and all my apps are still installed?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] daoist:
Assuming your "About Tablet" says you are on WW, then yes, that is correct. If you are on another locale (DE perhaps?) then I will need the file /cache/dlpkgfile sent to me so I can make a package just for you :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Nagrom Nniuq:
OK. Figured that out sorry.

Now I get an error saying:

"assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Calculator.apk" and a bunch of alphanumerical sequences follow. What's going on?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
It looks like you don't have a stock calculator anymore. Did you upgrade it or change it in any way?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Nagrom Nniuq:
Probably uninstalled it. I get rid of a lot with Titanium Backup. Guess I'm screwed or have to do the official update. Why is it so much harder than with a phone?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
You can either modify the update script or just re-install the original calculator from the stock rom. The system might be posted in the dev section or available from the Asus website, although you might have to do some unblobbing if you get it from the Asus website.

There are guides for modding the updater script, but the short and skinny is unzip the OTA update, edit /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script (remove the lines with the Calculator.apk - there might be two different ones), rezip the OTA, sign it (optional), and flash. If you don't sign the zip, then you'll have to turn off sig verification in recovery.

EDIT: I forgot - I posted the full rom in the dev section- You can either flash that, or just pull the calculator from it, if you want to flash the update. It will be the calculator from the 8.6.5.21 US rom, but the script will just skip the patch because it is already the current version. You might also have to grab the Calculator.odex file too- I can't remember what gets patched.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Nagrom Nniuq:
Will flashing the full rom wipe my data? I uninstalled a lot of stuff, so I can't just remove calc. There will be too many things for me to edit in.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
no, it shouldn't touch data.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Nagrom Nniuq:
Thanks. Worked like a charm. Props to you for your included Bible verse.

op got my tablet today but had the latest update, my build is 8.8.3.33 so i rooted using the method fr rootzwiki for the latest update, can i still use ur method to be able to get cwm? if not is it possible to release a method for us in the future? thanx
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sharpe351:
8.8.3.33 huh? I understand that update isn't quite released yet. When was it pushed to your device? Can you post a screenshot of your settings=>about tablet? I'm not calling BS, just curious.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Flip35:
Let me knw if it worked, im new at using dropbox for pics http://db.tt/oSlMg9aN
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gls9:
Do you have a prime ?

If yes, you are in the wrong section of xda. This is for transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Flip35:
holy **** I do good lookin out dude I could a mess up my tablet thank god I didn't flash anything
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SammyC:
WW version worked fine for me, many thanks! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sharpe351:
Flip, the pic worked fine. Yes, you've got yourself a TFPrime (TF201). That's why the discrepancy in the kernal number. I understood that the TF101 won't recieve that update for a while. I'm waiting for Asus to send the new boot unlocker down the pipe. I have no use for the Android Market movies anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] AyDee:
Thanks for this. I had rooted and installed CWM when the update hit so this was much easier than the other options. Cheers!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] nrapallo:
I had root before applying your update .zip to my US stock rom but also lost root and that killed OTA Root Keeper as it didn't have root permissions. Trying to update that version 3.0.3 su binary with the SuperUser app also failed. SuperUser's current su binary was version 3.0.3.2 and no attempt would solve this until................. :)

I clockworkmod recovery installed the latest SuperUser and su zip files located here. i.e. you need the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip and su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip to be saved to your external microsd card.

I think I only needed to replace the outdated su in this update .zip to achieve the same results now that I think about it, but I'm a happy camper nevertheless. :D

All is well now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for your .21 update, it saved me a lot of time re-rooting .19 as I had originally done it through the RazorClaw exploit and that too was quick and easy.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] daoist:
Hey everyone, I need a favor!

If we are indeed getting ICS in an OTA tomorrow (or soon, whenever), I need to get the dlpkgfile ASAP.

As soon as you get the update notification, do this:

1. DO NOT UPDATE YOUR TABLET.

This will delete the dlpkgfile we need. Also you will lose root. Also puppies will cry.

2. log in via adb shell or a terminal emulator and do this:

$ su
# cat /cache/dlpkgfile > /sdcard/dlpkgfile.zip

3. Get that file onto mediafire, megaupload, or whatever all the cool kids are using these days. Or just contact me for upload instructions.

4. Send me a PM, letting me know where the file is (or asking for upload instructions), and what your region is (e.g. US, WW, etc.)

5. Congratulations, you win!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Brazooka:
Unfortunately for whatsoever reason my WW TF101 isn't receiving OTA updates anymore, so I can't help you guys :(

All I can do is wait for the CMW + Root ICS update by daoist :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Taomyn:
Will do, in fact I always do this as I like to check what the update is doing. I wonder though that this update is going to be a very big file, closer to the size of a full firmware off their website. I just hope they update that at the same time and not weeks after the OTA.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] luna_c666:
Seems after I reverted to stock (in anticipation of the ICS update that was 'on the way' Jan 12th and then NOT thanks Singapore Asus FB page..) and then used your update package I no longer have a Market app on my TF.

Gone.

And every NEW one I install doesn't work, from old versions to 3.4.4, and I am making sure to clear data, uninstall, and have it set not to restore settings and data from reinstalled applications. I just factory wiped it, Market is not there, as I know it was present and working in the ROM I flashed as I used it to get Titanium backup for restoring the apps that now that Market is broken will not update (I have 12, including OTA rootkeeper, needing updates) every time I click update it FCs. I have also cleared any data associated with Download Manager to be sure..going to give it another go, as somehow I had this issue last time and resolved it with much less hassle (I have installed your updates before with no probs..tried two different copies on a flash drive and mini HDD before also downloading your linked one here for update..previous two were corrupt and would not even install).

Is this a question that has been asked 100 times? I didn't get a chance to read EVERY post on the thread, most seemed unrelated..apologies if it has been addressed, could you point me in the direction? I've tried everything I could find in the search to try as of yet, it seems to be specific to these update packages..

US B70 running on WW software (never had an issue before).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] luna_c666:
Just reinstalled again, and backed up the market app from the ROM before updating your package, and this time it didn't go anywhere...and still works fine.

The only thing I can guess is that somehow when I cleared the dalvik or other caches in recovery it deleted the Market app too...shouldn't it be in the system files and not user files thus even factory reset should not delete Market app?

Very strange occurrence..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] josteink:
I can confirm this one is working. You can ofcourse still feel brave about it when you go ahead if you want to ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ckuke4:
Just some info if anyone needs to know...

If you updated and lost root you can re-install the working update and it will give you root back so you don't have to go through the re-rooting process.

Cheers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NoUseToRush:
I re-confirm that this one works over .19

I will now make a nandroid of the whole thing, revert to Revolver and wait for ICS and see how it will fold out

Thanks to all:)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] tiwas:
Can I use this 8.6.5.21 to get back from trying to root with Razorclaw (and installing 8.6.6.19)? Will I lose my data?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sky66high:
Great

Works like charm as always.

hey

Hey daoist..... i am in the line too. Love your work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Steven_nl:
Hi guys

I have a problem and I hope you can help me. I'm a bit of a noob with the TF. Only experience I have (with CWM) is with my galaxy phone.

I managed to root my device (RazorClaw) and I have CWM running and I have Rootkeeper as well.

Unfortunatly I'm not able to update my firmware. (WW .19). It hangs and I'm stuck with an exclamation mark. Unrooting with Rootkeeper didn't do the trick either. Also the factory reset didn't work.

So I ended up here. I know how to flash a ROM in CWM (wel at least with my Galaxy) but I keep getting "can't mount /sdcard"

I have tried putting the zip file in the root of my internal sdcard and on an external sdcard as well. (haven't tried a microsdcard yet)

What can I do? please help?

second qeustion: is it better to wait for ICS to do this?

can I go from 0.19 to .23?

Thanks a lot for you help guys. Like a said I'm a noob so plzz keep it simple.

Steven, Netherlands
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] josteink:
Sdcard means actual sdcard. You cannot use internal storage.

Are you using the slot in the tablet or dock? Is the sdcard formatted as NTFS? If so, try formatting as FAT32.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Steven_nl:
Thanks!

SD or microsd? I might have a microsd somewhere.

Can I format a card in the TF? looked this morning but couldn't find it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] josteink:
I have used the microSD slot in the tablet itself and have never had any problems.

I have never tried using the SD-card slot in the dock with CWM, so I don't know if that is supposed to work at all.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] daoist:
I don't quite understand what your situation is.

What rom are you currently running?

What recovery do you have? (stock or clockworkmod?)

What rom do you intend to end up on?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Steven_nl:
You were right. Using a MicroSD did the trick.

Thanks a lot for your help!!!

Running 0.21 now coming from 0.19. seems to be working fine (still rooted). I didn't manage to install 0.23 though. I got an error in CWM(7??). But I thought 0.21 was the latest frimware. When I check for updates I get the messages that there are no updates.

What is the 0.23 firmware?

Thanks again!

Cheers

Steven
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gls9:
If you mean this one V8.6.6.23, it is for TF101

(3G model)

8.6.5.21 is latest for TF101 (without G)

oops guess i didn't realize i am still on 8.6.5.18 not 8.6.5.19. DARN!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] daoist:
Looks like people should be getting the OTA soon. If you'd be so kind, save the dlpkgfile to send to me. I'll keep a list of the regions I've got so you don't waste your time if it's already been sent.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] taitony:
My TF-101 was root and flash XDA's ROM, so I can not get the OTA. So I have to flash back to TW version and then I start to receive OTA. Therefore your advise is not workable for me.

So if I'm running prime, I have to flash a stock rom first? Then flash this zip? There isn't a zip yet to go directly from a custom rom to ics?

Sorry if this has been asked already. I was in back to back exams.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] daoist:
Correct, this zip only works coming from 8.6.5.21 TW.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dipje:
For anyone interested, my WW transformer was on Revolver 3.something.

Downloaded the official full update from the asus site (UpdateLauncher_TW_epaduser8_6_5_21.zip).

Used the blob tools to unpack the blob, and repack only the system + kernel (APP + LNX partitions). Wiped from CWM recovery, flashed my repacked blob, booted to see if it was fine. Right, so now I'm on TW latest stock.

Get the 1.01 zip file from first post in this thread, flashed it from CWM, wiped, booted. Tadaah, official Asus ICS.

I select english language at start, and the only 'taiwanese' (unreadable text) characeters I've seen are in the 'microsd card indicator' in the statusbar.

So now I can play around a bit, and will flash the proper WW ICS when it arrives.

I'm missing CIFS support now though :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] byhoung:
Please help! I tried flashing this but I'm getting this error:

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sagar_tiru2006:
Can I flash the 8.6.5.21 version over Revolver ROM as I need to be ready to install the US ICS when it comes :D :p ???
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] daoist:
how much storage space do you have free on your tablet? it's not 100% full or anything, is it?

The only thing I can think of is if it runs out of space in /tmp to extract the blob before flashing it.

Your best bet is going to be to restore a nandroid backup or reflash back to honeycomb and then try again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] byhoung:
How can I extract the blob?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] tomdot:
How do I root the TW OTA upgrade?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Danzano:
Ok this will sound stupid but if we have a WW transformer can we install the Taiwan or US version or do we have to wait for the WW ??

And do we have to flash stock first if we are on a .21 custom? Like if we erase system and boot then flash this over would it be ok??

Ive just never really looked into nor worried about the whole region thing
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jmkhenka:
Care to share that modified blob so I might do the same?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] eppyramot:
Thanks (made my day on my birthday!!)

I followed these instructions to go from Spark-ICS (the Paul Burton Alpha). You have to follow the Nachoroot instructions exactly (as well as the others) you need to know how to use ADB.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1513750

Only glitch was for some reason the market was giving me an error and I read on another website that if you download too much on your google account this error can occur. (-101). Anyway the advice was to wait and three hours later all was well. Restored all my apps from Titanium. (I had updated new ICS versions on my Captivate and Touchpad yesterday so I guess i used market a lot).

Also when you first boot the SDcard etc are still listed in Taiwanese even if you choose English but on the next boot everything is English.

Everything is working perfectly now (including seeing the dock battery) I would love to see a pure ICS version without some of the ASUS skinning like Paul Burton's ICS - I am sure with the drivers from this ported into his I will go back very soon.

Thought I just share my experience. I have a WWE B70. Previously I flashed Revolver which is a fine ROM :) So I had a lot of apps and settings. Of course I made a backup with CWM. Then I followed the instructions, first I flashed the TW ROM via CWM. Then rooted with Nacho, flashed RougeRecovery, flashed the ICS update and voilá. Everything's working fine, I have all my apps and settings only Revolver Parts FC'd (and Google+) but I removed them and reinstalled G+. Nice and shiny :)

Possibly? Probably not? Who can say..just grab the official US rom and flash it via CWM and it will rebrand your region entirely. Then you can!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] MrNago:
1. You're on stock: What luna_c666 said.

2. Anything else: What lukacs.attila said on post #150. You go "back to stock" TW or US version, and you go through the "official update process"

Alternate route-> We can just wait for the CWM version, quick, easy and safe way - my choice!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Mercvtio:
I'm at work right now... Iwill wait until someone put up a CWM flashable zip, and who knows, we might even get a ww one today (yay for UK !)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dipje:
For anyone wanting to use them:

tw-8_6_5_21-CWM-full-unrooted.zip - 236.2 MB

This is the official full 8.6.5.21 install for TW region, flashable through CWM. It only contains the stock kernel + system, so your recovery is left alone. You loose root (but no problem, you still have CWM).

I'm currently uploading the WW version: ww-8_6_5_21-CWM-full-unrooted.zip - 234.9 MB

Will be ready in about 6 minutes.

If you flash the .zip through CWM, it will seem it's not doing anything for a long time, let it go. Eventually it'll be done (it's writing a 500mb image to the staging partition :)).
