[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BSMan1011:
I have had to go to settings then about and check firmware everytime...just fyi

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

I rooted and added my custom boot anim that is all I have done with root...I changed my cpu profile once with cpu master but i didnt even set it to set on boot....so I dont know what to do....and as one would guess attempt 6 failed as well

DIDnt mean to quote myself meant to quote droid ham
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Guess you could try a factory reset, then try the update... kinda sucks to have to redo all your apps, and settings again though... especially if that doesn't work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Everything worked fine for me. I have same setup but I didn't even bother undoing root/temp in root. The update went fine n broke root n overclock but restored it with voodoo. Everything good now for me ;)

If update for you failed, then you must have deleted some kind of system app or something.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DroidHam:
tried it and failed. unrooted and retried still failed. Did a full reboot and still failed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
that's what made it fail. As you have custom boot animation meaning you changed or deleted a system app. I never delete or change system stuff as it always breaks OTA.

I'm back living life in the fast lane at 1.6Ghz on new update. shout out to viperboy n ViperControl mod crew :cool:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xIC-MACIx:
How about a changelog Asus! Before I jump through hoops to undo my **** lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DroidHam:
Can someone post a new version of the update that will work on rooted primes?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BSMan1011:
I did not replace any file.. I put the put anim in data/local which the prime detects and uses instead of the original..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Factory reset doesn't touch /System so it won't help.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tairen:
my prime was rooted when I did the update. after the update I still have root, and everything works fine. did you manually check for updates in settings?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BSMan1011:
THANK YOU for the warning that would have sucked to try and have it fail still

Has everyone had to go to check if firmware is available because I do...or is it just auto detecting for you?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 00Hensley:
Just tried the update and it failed. I am rootedand may have removed some of the ASUS bloatware.

I'm going to temp unroot and try again. If that doesn't work am I stuck doing a factory reset?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rootusr:
GPS driver version was upgraded from 6.8.13 to 6.9.13, I'm able to get 2 sats indoors.. not so good.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GirLuvsDroid:
Yes, I did delete some /system files, like email and calculator, that I would never use (since I use K-9 and Real Calc instead). I always have deleted those on custom ROMs on my OG Droid, so it's probably a bad habit I should have broken for my Prime.

Is there a system dump for the ICS update? I saw a couple that were posted before the ICS update and one deodexed version of ICS, but I'm not sure deodexed would work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
you sure there's nothing else you forgetting? did you change system ui or delete that new boot animation.

Seems like all people who update is failing has done some kind of system ui change or boot animation change or something similar. best bet is factory reset n then update. notbsure if factory reset will clear root though. you may have tl use astro or root explorer to clean out anything you may have done. I had script manager hooked up before I updated but something told me to go into settings then apps to clear its cache n data so there wouldn't be any issuesbwhen first booting up after update in case root was broken.

Feel bad for those who didn't back up root with voodoo. now they have to wait for a new method.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GirLuvsDroid:
I've already tried the temp unroot route with no luck. I don't think a factory reset would work, would it? -- doesn't that just delete all user data? I'm not sure it would restore system apps that you've deleted. I'm looking for an ICS system dump to get back the files I deleted.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BSMan1011:
I have now deleted the custom boot again...everything else is stock though....I like the prime and all the asus apps and ui so I didnt touch any of that....IDK maybe I should just wait a day and see...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
there should be a regular ICS system dump in developement section. just download it ..unzip it and install those files you deleted. hopefully everything should be good after that. good luck
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GirLuvsDroid:
I looked for it but didn't see it. I'll look again.

Nevermind -- the file for the ICS 4.0.3 update will work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
you are correct. if on root, you deleted system apps or bloatware, then factory reset will not restore them. you need to get them from system dump n reinstall.

OR just wait till Asus posts the update on their website and do it manually. I believe only OTA method checks for everything to still be there like stock. Manually installing update doesn't really care about stuff deleted. I think..lol that's how it was with the Atrix n Motorola updates.

best bet is to get from system dump. then for future reference, make sure to backup any system files or bloatware you delete. I'd hate to have to manually install update and have to wait.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
I had removed system apks as well before the update. The way I fixed mine was by going to Asus site and redownloaded the the US_epaduser9_4_2_7 Update firmware. It re-downloaded 4.0.3 and recovered all my missing sys apks. Just finished downloading the latest just now with no issues.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BSMan1011:
Trying that now
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Here are the calc and email apks and odexes. These are from the last OTA
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cmat1120:
I updated my prime fine on my second try. Problem was SystemUI.apk.

REMEMBER TO USE ROOTKEEPER or you WILL regret it lol.

For those of you that changed yours just replace the new one with your old backup(You did make a backup, right?)

Then just try updating again(might take a few reboots/checking for update/just waiting) and you should be good to go. Just restore root afterwards with rootkeeper.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
Here is the OP link. It includes the steps needing after downloading.

It says not to unzip the second file within the first zip. Then just copy the second zip and put in in the root of your sd card. It will then detect it if not reboot and you should have a notice after reboot. Good Luck!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Any way how we can put an update on an sd card and have it installed from recovery?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xray49er:
This worked for me thanks for the heads up
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Nope, still not possible
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
As long as you place the update zip file on the root of sd card. It will be detected right away and you will get a notice to download. If not reboot and that should do it.

Edit: The zipped file within the file should not be extracted. Leave it zipped. That is the file you need to put in root of sd card.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
No not that I can not boot up into the system I get stuck in a Bootloop and have been for awhile... No way to get past the asus screen
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
Oh, sorry. Ouch got me there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crystalstylez:
All went smooth here. Lostroot but restored via voodoo. Don't know what the update did but I'm picking up 10+ satellites indoors now. Wasn't able to pick up any before. Thumbs up from me Asus.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clenz:
Update went well. I'm getting consistent satellite lock now with GPS. This is from my car.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PapaSmurf6768:
Update went well for me too, voodoo worked like a dream and I still have root. I also deleted some system apks, but only stuff from Google, not Asus.

Sent from my ROOTED Transformer Prime
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blinky44:
Seems like this thread and the other one on the new firmware update today have quickly changed to what went wrong with the update on my rooted prime, I realize that is important but can someone please open a new thread with just that issue or change the title on one of these. It's a pain to find the relative comments for those who are not rooted.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
seems to be a very solid update after a few hours of use. I haven't seen any banding!

TF201 | XDA Premium
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
I unrooted re did my system ui apk I can update now right? Yes I did rootkeeper
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] se1000:
THIS!!!!!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] B-Mod:
Brand new prime, just did ics install, and camera update. Tried viper boy root, does not work. Asus put the update in the ics install, gps was updated right away. No root for my second prime, for now...........
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ryan562:
I actually experienced this issue before this OTA a few days ago
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spaz007:
Does anyone know if ASUS rolls the updates out in waves or all at once? I haven't seen the update yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GirLuvsDroid:
This worked perfectly. Thanks for the tip!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Zaiden:
I'm getting more reboots then before. Very irritated.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
probably waves you is KS im in NY and got it so should be there soon what time is it there?

---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

only had it for about 20 minutes no reboots yet before i had about 2 a day
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spaz007:
It would be 1 hour behind you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] _Gir_:
I know it seems random but have you tried changing your wifi settings? Ie, band, channel, security wep/wpa=>wpa2
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
so i would say just wait an hour or so and should get it
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Any changelog for this update? other than new GPS firmware, what else was updated?

mine has been running great since update. was running great before update also though ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
probably just some small bug fixes not noticeable to us
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BSMan1011:
Finally works
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Iam rooted

Viperboy overclock

Custom boot animation

5 "frozen" apps using the ICS option to do so

No system app removed

All I did was move the custom animation out. Did the manual update. Upon reboot I rerooted with voodooq & put the boot animation back & viperboy overclock was still in place. No problems.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DroidHam:
I guess I used the voodoo **** wrong, I cant restore root.

Anyone try any of the new root methods with tonights OTA?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BSMan1011:
My AnTuTU Benchmark score went up...but I forgot orig score it was like 11080(i think) and now is 11119
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
I was rooted before applying the update and did not unroot or temp unroot. I restored root afterward using OTA rootkeeper.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] frozen-solid:
I noticed that they seem to have fixed the Wallpaper bug, where there's black bars on the far left and far right sides on landscape view.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] se1000:
I'm not able to restore root either. Oh well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
I see GPS & build # are only listed changes
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BSMan1011:
I cant restore root either..not sure what i did to mess it up though....but whatever I will deal until next root method comes out
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rootusr:
I can confirm that. also, I my imagination or the icon in for options in browser has changed?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] frozen-solid:
Good catch. Definitely has a new menu button.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rootusr:
in fact i Just noticed that has changed in everywhere, I wonder if there is a bug now showing the button correctly or if it is actually a new button, any way it looks fine to me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mdpgc:
Did the update and restored root with Voodoo just fine. No Problems at all!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] frozen-solid:
I'm guessing it's a new button to differentiate it from the old menu button in legacy apps, that appears at the bottom left next to the app switcher.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rootusr:
sounds like a good theory, let see what the change log says about it (if any)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Don't have a heart attack seeing this :p

Antutu...still ranked 4th in the world of Primes

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] strabo100:
Mine was rooted, used rootkeeper, didn't remove root, updated just fine. Was able to restore root.

Now my prime can see 4 sats indoor.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] _Gir_:
I was able to recover root like the others.

System Dump.... :(:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BSMan1011:
I am going to go cry in a corner....do you use vipermod to get those scores or change the cpu at least....mine was just stock at performance mode

PS:I dont see that score or username anywhere in the top ten...though there are scores above it the top 13451
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Primalwolf:
same here had no problems updating or restoring root.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Yes, I used the ViperControl mod to overclock to 1.6ghz. which I got those scores on. we found a new method to push the envelope even further though. With vipercontrol and system tuner app, we can Max out all 4 cores at 1.6ghz once. So I can even score higher than what you saw. just haven't done it yet.

here the screenshot below with vipercontrol mod and the system tuner app working together for the Ultimate overclock, all 4 cores @ 1.6Ghz
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
Yay! Glad to hear:-) Mine went well too. Even got root back.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChrisDos:
You hope there will be another root method.

How to do a system dump?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] speed817:
anybody else have a problem with not being able to check update at all? the check update button is dimmed out in the system firmware update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChrisDos:
From command line:

tar -cvf /sdcard/System_Dump.tar /system

I'm uploading my system dump right now. They really should not call it a system dump. They should call it a /system tar ball.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bimbobo:
It seems that if you are not in the US, you are a second class user.

All these updates seems not to be available for EU countries or for those who did not rooted their devices.

I like the Prime, but Asus needs to reconsider their marketing and sale strategy, because it sucks big time.

I spnt 600 Euros and I have to wait for all the fixes...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
I don't think waiting 1 day is such a bad thing. WW releases have so far come the very next day after all the US releases. I think you need to relax pal.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
Chill mate. I bought Galaxy Nexus, flagship Google and Android phone, and I don't even have 4.0.3 there yet. Updates take a little time and ASUS is much faster than their competition when it comes to them.

A day or two's delay won't kill you unless you are lost in the forest, with a few hours of TF201 battery remaining and need a firmware to improve GPS a little bit in order to get out before battery dies.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bimbobo:
Thanks, I just think that when they release a firmware, they should do that for everybody who have the same device.

It would be more fair, because I think there are as many customer in Europe as in the US.

I wished to have a "parallel" treatment :-)

WW is not good for me I need to have the DE, even if I am not German and use english as default language.

It's not a day or 2... many days have gone since ICS was available for US.

I am not interesetd in fw so far, just in Android 4 without rooting the Prime
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tensCAmel?:
Have you called ASUS DE?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bimbobo:
No, I do not speak German.. I just bought it from Amazon DE, and I did not know that they had a special fw. I read only that ICS was released for the Prime.

I called Aus DK and they were friendly but did not know anything and promised to call me back.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] geinome:
I actually think staggering the updates its self isnt harming anyone to much.

I know fair treatment would be good, however updating everything at once could cause hugh amounts of congestion on their servers.

Obviously heres me hoping asus has dedicated servers for different countries but im taking a reasonable guess.

I agree though that the WW firmware isnt always as good for all Eu countries. how come im in the Uk and we dont have a UK firmware.

But then you could question why every country doesnt have its own firmware. And its about making supporting it easier.

I agree with the DE firmware, there must be some law or regulation in germany that means they have to have a seperate firmware.

I could be wrong though, anyone willing to elaborate?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flash3d:
Asus is testing the new firmware on the Americans, we europeans are getting the final build ;)

Was reading in this thread that the browser "pause" is solved now (when loading new page you're unable to scroll till full page is loaded), could somebody confirm?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Butch1326:
I removed the system files and put the US_epad-user-9.4.2.7.zip file in the / directory of the device. On reboot, the device doesn't recognise the zip file to perform the update. I tried data wipe and hard reset. My device won't even boot up any more. Hangs on the Asus logo screen with the clockwise circle spinning round and round...

How do I load the /system dump to put the system files back?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
Just updated. Lost then restored root. Update went just fine.

Update: GPS works worse.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gbh62:
I still get the browser pause when scrolling with ICS+. And the "wait" popup sometimes. Thus using Opera most of the time.

After
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Noxious Ninja:
I didn't notice that Asus had been using the wrong icon for menus... the new 3-dot one is the proper ICS icon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
yeah i noticed that earlier this morning right before leaving to work. i wish i had the time to test the gps.

darn you, constraints of time. i have never been able to get my Prime to see sats AT ALL. never a glimpse of working GPS. just 0/0.

but we'll see how things turn out later when i get home.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zoro25:
Have they actually removed the ability to turn on GPS?

or is it just removed from the quick start toolbar
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
That GPS button was gone after the first ICS update. Myself, reNeglect and Lock-N-Load have been working on trying to get that checkbox back into the quick settings.

See this thread if you're interested in helping out or just words of encouragement :D

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1444956

Just removed from the quicksettings slider.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] indiscriminant:
For anyone not able to take the OTA, I posted the manual update file last night and NoxiousNinja reposted/hosted it on multiple servers for download.

This should work for those of you in the US not getting it yet, or who have the unknown serial number and can't get OTAs.

If this was helpful please add a thanks to both myself and NoxiousNinja! (BTW it is posted in android dev forum)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
Just from the bar...this was actually implemented in the first ICS OTA.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bimbobo:
@flash3d..

Thanks, but when :-) ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kristovaher:
So, mm.. Does anyone know what happened to ASUS FTP that usually also carried these update files?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
What do you mean by this?

If you mean you deleted all files in /System and then rebooted before trying to update, then you are screwed. Your device will not boot because it has nothing to boot into.

You have a soft-brick until bootloader can be unlocked and system reflashed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] indiscriminant:
Those typically are not posted until 4-7 days later after the OTA has gone out. That was the case each time with the last updates. That is why I posted the file for others to use so they wouldn't have to wait if they were not getting it.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
I am in the same boat I modified the build.prop a few days before and yesterday only added enable. Face unlock (even though it had rebooted before by me.. It felt like performing the first ever random reboot and now it just bootloops)

I do not think the tool will be able to be used to unlock it when you are in a soft brick because of the fact that I can not get my device to read on ADB! Which sucks! I requested an RMA anyways because if dead pixels and now this..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
You use WW updates same as UK and much of Europe, it will most likely go live at the same time tonight as the US one did last night.

Unless of course you bought one in the US, then just disregard my comment. :D

I wished you were right... DE fw is not available either.

I regret I bought it on Amazon DE.. :-)
