[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cr1ptkeeper:
.15 (WW) has been released!

Checked for new firmware and it found and installed the .15 firmware version!

Let's hope this fixes the reboot problems!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anthonyalberto:
Really?

Can we get the zip file Asus please ? Since my system reboots before I can even "first time configure" it, I won't be able to install it as OTA
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RichieG1:
Downloading the firmware update right now here in the UK. Here's hoping it fixes all the problems!!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ikdedinges:
got .15 OTA (WW) too!

installed allready

edit: root restored with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yod-b:
so far this is the nicest thing i've heard today! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gaushell:
just installed .15. now rebooting. crossing fingers.

hopefully no more "wait" errors.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eduardmc:
Gary did it again,
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgoodsell:
Just updated to .15 and rebooted will report back with updates......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Seems the other countries are getting the love this time. Update hasn't hit here in the u.s. yet. Now you the bets testers for u.s. lol

---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 AM ----------

I know right..lmao Man they push out updates like its nothing..lol. glad to see this kind of support. Makes you feel good about future of tablet support n developement.

Now I'm kinda wishing I would've waited and just did this OTA instead. Then I could've used voodoo to restore root. Don't have access to a PC ATM to use viperprimetime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mthompson33:
Ok, I can't get it to stay booted long enough to install the OTA update. :confused: Help?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anthonyalberto:
Welcome to my world!

We need the zip file of the firmware and use a rescue method, I can send it to you if you want but it's useless until we don't get the zip file
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dmh2010:
Just got .15 ww ota , fingers crossed random reboots are sorted....thanks Gary,and the beta testers :-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gremlin001:
WOW!!! That was fast. Just updated with .15 on WW Prime. Will report in later with observations and results.

In the meantime, thank you Gary and the team of testers that put in time to bring us this far. Hopefully this solves the reboot issue for all of us.

:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Csopi:
Can anybody report back?

How is it? Is the flickering from youtube and recent apps gone as well? I wont be at home before 8.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] willoxx:
C20KAS030..... on firmware .14

This tablet is absolutely useless on this firmware
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nuno Mauricio:
hi ...

hi

where did u get .15 ww version ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Torlopov_K:
Have anybody heard about .15(DE) ? what`s the release date ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
All you will need is the zip file placed on root of micro SD card. Prime would detect it automatically and will show update available in notifications area.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anthonyalberto:
Nop, because I can't boot the OS, my device reboots before I complete the "first configuration steps". I have to use the EP201_SDUPDATE.zip method

But for this, I of course need the zip file for .15 firmware :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bimbobo:
...yes, Zip file please :-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mthompson33:
Ok, I've gotten it to download the update 2 times. The first time it said the integrity check failed and went back to .14

The second time it rebooted during the integrity check. It doesn't seem to recognize that the update has already been downloaded and is starting to download again.

Apparently it is fairly stable in sleep mode and completes the download without rebooting

this is a C20KASXXXXXX S/N

Any ideas?

UPDATE: On third attempt I got a clean firmware file and it ran the update. Several hours later with much enjoyment and no reboots! BIG THANKS to GARY and ASUS! Turned a potentially negative experience into something VERY positive.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joeyddr:
Just got it in NY.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] giakhanh:
I got mine yesterday and i updated it to .14. It works perfect for me right now. I just want to ask a stupid question: Does it harm my TF201 if i plug the docking into the Prime when it still has more than 60% of battery?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] patcou:
Just got it in canada, Thanks Gary i can start using it again, no reset, but there was some lag and a couple flickering with the recent apps but not as bad as before.

Downloading my apps right now everything going great.

Thanks again
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kospan:
Just received an OTA upgrade to .15 firmware! I want to thank Gary and his team and of course the beta testers for responding so fast to our need for an update. Will test the new firmware and report back how it is working. Greece is my location.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mysterhockey:
upgrading firmware

OK, first post.....

Have been running on .11 with no problems at all (did a factory reset after upgrading to .11 to resolve issues with copying files to movie/music folders). Running flawlessly on .11 ever since (about 3-4 weeks) Since then, I have been ignoring prompts to upgrade to .13 although it says that it has already downloaded it. So, if I proceed to upgrade right now, it will upgrade to .13 based on the fact that it has been sitting there for about 10 days wanting me to click "Install". How can I proceed to upgrade to .15 when it is made available to US without upgrading to .13/.14? Thanks in advance....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tigerclawvc:
I did not understand, Gray already released the .15 update?

and if so, when it should arrive to my prime (WW)?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kecke69:
.15 WW is released , just installed it :-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] codyco83:
My prime reboots when I put it to sleep while watching a movie and try to come back to it. I can always tell when it's going to freeze because when I wake it back up the unlock button is grainy. No changes with the newest update. It does this on every video player I've tried.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] angler67:
.15 OTA received in CA, US

For my 32GB:

.11 worked great

.13 SLEEP OF DEATH and Battery drain

.14 ALL WELL AGAIN, running 24hr/day for a week, games, netflix, video editing, benchmarks ...

Afraid of .15 since all is working, any in my above described hardware group try .15 yet, feedback?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] biker955:
WW_.15 installed

Hello

At this moment I installed .15:

- till now perfect with no problems:-)

Thanks to all for the support

cheers & enjoy it

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mike.s.russell:
working for me

received an OTA to .15. (Alabama) Seems to be working fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slopokdave:
It is rather amazing that you all have Gary at your disposal to not only listen but to pass out beta firmware then have Asus push it out.

A+ job on Gary and Asus.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gary Key:
It will be fine if .14 was fine. Very important item, always shutdown after the update is applied and the system reboots. It clears any potential glitches after an update (99% of the time). ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anthonyalberto:
So any update on where I can get my hands on a .15 zip file?

Only way to make my prime usable again :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eyesparky:
Just got the OTA and am updating, so touch wood things will be better. Just wanted to say thanks to Gary and the team for moving so quickly to try and address the issues.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] saintirish:
I am doing the .15 update now. Every single update since ICS came out has been a problem for me . . . either random reboots or sleep of death (usually one or the other). I am really crossing my fingers on this one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] serj69:
Same here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kecke69:
It's working just fine, Feels like a whole new Prime. Very smooth and xtremly fast, This is THE ONE :-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skola28:
Logistical Question:

I have a US SKU, and I went back to .11 - Is the .15 update available OTA to the US SKU now? I am worried about updating to .14 to check if .15 is available b/c .14 rebooted on me constantly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rekna:
I've gotten 1 reboot on .14 so far. It was when the processor was pegged. My serial number is BCOKAS05xxxx
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] angler67:
BTW, great job in coordination and informing us Gary on the integration efforts, mixing a new OS and new generation chipset/platform is problematic at BEST.

What I am amazed at is the distinct behavioral groups of devices on such a new product. It seems like there are 4 variations of hardware out there, very perplexing.

I would definitely be interested in what device variances would allow for one FW to work perfectly on one set of devices and so horribly on others and not so great on yet another set.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AWhistler:
Just installed .15 OTA

I just started using .15 after receiving it OTA. The install was quick once it decided that the download was complete (stuck at 99% for a while). I ran a wifi speed test...went from 11500kbps on .14 to 21300 on .15 down, and from 1570kbps to 2750 up. Then I went looking for GPS. I found THREE, inside my house with no extra assistance... that has never happened with this tablet before (for comparison, my DroidX found 10). I will keep playing with this, but so far .15 is looking good. Notice this post is longer...it hasn't rebooted on me yet!

UPDATE: Still going strong after 90 min. I ran the wifi test again and it was 11500kbps or so. Must have been a fluke. I have been running in performance mode and browsing youtube. I got the browser to die several times, but that happened before this, and I usually use Dolphin anyway. No reboots so far, and it seems smoother.

UPDATE: 20 minutes later and still going. And for the first time EVER, unassisted by metal objects or cell phones resting on it, I got a GPS position lock! It saw 6 sats and locked in on 3 (aGPS was up to date). This build is a keeper so far!

UPDATE: I have been running almost nonstop on one charge. Battery is down to 27% after 5 hours, it was 85% when .15 was installed. No reboots. Charging is working fine. Was able to see 9 GPS sats eventually. This is a definite keeper!

UPDATE!!!!!! I started playing games in the last hour. All of them are locking up, and some require a reset (hold down power button for 10 sec). GLOWBALL won't get past the splash screen, and just quits. "Jewels" locks up and requires a reset.

UPDATE: Sat. Morning. Charged overnight, purposely power cycled device. Even though I have auto-update turned on, Glowball had an update I had to manually install, but it works well now. Other games are not locking up yet. Will keep trying to reproduce it.

FINAL UPDATE: .15 is a definite keeper. I vote that this one be that fallback build in the future if other builds fail. GPS, Wifi, battery all work well, the lockups have disappeared (knock wood). I like it!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cenonmin:
Just got the .15 OTA Twice :S

Not sure what happened there, I turned the tablet on and saw the update. Downloaded and updated and rebooted. After using for an hour, got another notification so updated again and still save version .15

Anyhoo, so far so good no reboots yet after 2 hours.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HOFFERN342:
Trying to download .15 now.. the problem is that the tablet keeps rebooting itself every 1 minute, so I never get past about 20% before freeze and reboot :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ohwell:
I've never had the lockup reboot problem with any version of the firmware but I wonder have any of you did a factory reset without backing up your installed apps and ran it a while with just the factory apps to see if maybe its an app you added to your Prime causing the reboots?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eduardmc:
Did you read my thread at the beginning..

hard reset (no app install)

factory reset (no app install)

downgrade to .11 no problem

.13 to .14 same problem
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] manley1534:
Things just keep getting worse...

I tried posting this from my Prime, but it locked up too often :mad: As suggested I did a factory reset (which didn't resolve the freeze/reboot issue). Now there is a new problem. I was reinstalling apps and came to one that says it isn't compatible with my device. How can that be?? I had it on my Prime and it was working fine (Scrabble Free for Android). Now when I go to re-download and install, I can't because it says "not compatible." It was working on my tablet just fine last night. Any ideas what's going on now??:(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darksiiide:
It would be nice if they just released the bootloader unlock tool. The developers from xda could probably have most of this stuff ironed out in no time. Seems as if each new firmware brings on a whole new set of users experiencing issues.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SantiagoMA85:
Same problem constantly reboots to the point that I'm unable to use it at all. It sucks because the previous update worked just fine. I hope they come with a fix like today!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] iambryantho:
having the same issue while watching Netflix. serial number is BBOKAS0
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eduardmc:
if it is with netflix then i don't believe this problem is related. If it only happy while watching netflix try doing a hard reset or factory restore since this is not the same issue.

Just incase try going to setting, out opening application, closing etc. If it lock up-freeze then reboot doing this normal task then you have our problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Phontech:
Adding to my post on trouble with prime reboot. ver 13 had alot fewer reboots, unuseable now after upgrade to ver14. Reboots every few minutes. sn BCOKAS134340 .

---------- Post added at 11:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------

how do you reset prime to ver13 would like to be able to use it. can not find info in forum
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zektor:
None of the issues experienced in this thread with the update to .14 on a C1OKAS model, but have experienced:

1. No wifi signal after first boot on install of new firmware. Reboot fixed that.

2. Opened a game and only received black screen (Pinball title fro Tegra Zone) and it fixed with reboot.

That is all for me. The update was not significantly different otherwise than .13 or .11. My Prime just works.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rand4ll:
I would not consider those issues at all if it was on first boot after firmware update. Always do a power off and turn back on after that initial boot to avoid any of the odd happenings.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Vilen77:
Bellow are my observations:

SN: C10KA*******

I've never had any reboot with .11 version. On versions 13 and 14 I've had 1-2 reboots per day. Factory reset didn't work for me. Version .14 it seems to be a lot better in battery than .13, but 13 is more stable. Reverted to .11 version with Trebuchet Launcher (native launcher in .11 is a little bit slow).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rex0325:
SN:C10KAS...

After update .14, fall in reboot loop...wipe is no use.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eduardmc:
does hard reset or factory reset helps?

does it enter loop when it boot or after it gets to the homescreen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flintdog:
i am having the same problem. i just called ASUS and talked to them and the guy told me i had two options, either take it back to where i got it or ship it to their techs in Texas. needless to say i was not happy. i have only had my prime for two weeks. he didn't even try to help solve my issues. i also had a problem with the screen on it. it would not properly seat its-self to the metal body on the volume rocker side. he also wanted me to pay for shipping. thats a bunch of B/S and i told him i wanted to speak to his supervisor. now i have free shipping, but what i wanted them to do is to send me a replacement unit. i mean i have only had it for two weeks.

does anyone no how to roll back to the previous update? i want to go from .14 to .13... i was having no issues with .13 (i am not rooted by the way either)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seaham358:
Strange... I went from crashing every 5-10 min to running trouble free for over an hour???

All I did was hook it up to my computer to back up my pics before doing a factory reset.. I was using it while backing up and it was working fine.

I unhooked it from the computer to see if it was a fluke and its still running trouble free?? Did it fix itself?? Hope it stays this way.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kudy:
I am also having the reboots after .14 problem - after 4 factory resets I have a relatively stable install right now, but it still decides to restart randomly when doing even the most basic things (browsing on the default browser, bringing up the apps list, etc.).

I may be wrong, but in order to roll back to the .13 update, wouldn't we need to root and install a new bootloader (effectively voiding the warranty)? If there is an in-warranty way to roll back, could someone clue me (and others who aren't as familiar with this stuff) what the procedure is? Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mopar400:
Same problem here with .14.

Random reboots every couple of minutes.

If I turn off WiFi it gets stable, but then its pretty much useless!!

I have reverted back to .13,and things are back to ` normal`.

Serial number BCOKASxxxxxx
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eduardmc:
i'll try to help get it to .13

go here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427125

download vipermod 4.1 and rooted (is only a one click root)

follow this steps

Download one of the updates (eg. US_epaduser9_4_2_13UpdateLauncher.zip) from here: http://support.asus.com/download.asp...2&hashedid=n/a

Extract files from within zip

Extract files again from the extracted zip

Copy extracted "blob" file to root of the removable Micro SD card

Through ADB shell or Terminal Emulator, run the following: i recommend "Terminal Emulator, is easier". (May take from 5 to 20 minutes)

now Type in terminal emulator

su (after you type this "su" it will give you root access and in the next line type the next command)

dd if=/Removable/MicroSD/blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

After this, it's going to take anywhere from 5-15 minutes to finish, if you have the freeze problem restart everything again.

you won't see any progress bar and might think that terminal emulator is not doing anything but in fact is copying the file. wait until it finish and you'll know cause it will show you the time it took to copy the line.

after this, turn off your device and turn it on again. At reboot it will start installing .13

This will not erase any previous info or app from your device but it will boot with a launcher "force close" problem.

head over to setting (tab lower right where the clock is located)

Setting-apps-all-launcher apk

hit force close-clear- clear cache

that will get rid of the force close.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eduardmc:
unrooting is very easy, factory reset or simply when you rollback to previews firmware you need root to do it but after is done root is lost and you have to root it again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mattck:
I am having the reboot problem with the .14 OTA.

Reboot issue when OTA ICS.

Fine with 11.1

Fine with .13

and now back to random reboots with .14

BCOKAS12****
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
Does .15 remove any of the processor states? .14 works fine for me but if this update removes any of those lower states again like .13 did I will hold off.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mthompson33:
I had luck putting mine to sleep so that it could download the file. It didn't reboot while asleep.

Oh no! Just had my first reboot EVER! C10 serial. Tried to run cfbench app and screen went black then blamo! Reboot. Updated my prime to. 15 earlier.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mopar400:
Gary, Thanks

#16 on the list and it looks like 15 is working fine here.

I was one that had reverted back from 14 to 13.

The install first loaded back in 14 and then I check back and there was another update and it loaded up 15.

No crashes so far.

Thanks again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eyesparky:
I don't want to tempt fate but so far so good after a couple of hours I have had no reboots. It has also allowed me to realise another issue I was having was likely unrelated, so I tracked down the app that was causing the media process to fall over too (Google Currents). There are still some keyboard issues but they are so tiny and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. So far it feels fantastic to have my Prime back.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] upsbeast:
So .15 is working great for me 6 hours and no issues. Thanks asus and gary!!! But one question now that everything works good should i not do any other updates? Cause i dont want to get another crappy update that has problems. So should i jus stay on .15 ?:confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZychoFlow:
testers

Hi Gary,

If you need any other testers I would be happy to stress my tablet as much as possible and PM you my results over the weekend.

Thank you,

EDIT: Well never mind I just got the ota update so I guess that 15 was oficially released.

Anyway I tourture my tablet over the weekend and pm my results (at the very least tyhe negative ones)

Thanks again for all your effort Gary.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] angler67:
Well, I bit the bullet and updated to .15:

* Update: shutdown->install->restart

* Manual Restart: shutdown->start

After 2 hours: So far so good:

* Ran some benchmarks

* Ran apps GEarth, Email, Chrome, TouTube ...

* Updated some apps

* Let manual/auto sleep, woke up fine

* Battery usage still looks good

UPDATE***

After 9 hours use: Still going strong 7 hrs since 2hr mark

* 51% batt from 85% at upgrade

* Ran Netflix, Facebook from wifi connection

* Slept tablet while Netflix playing, Play after wake resumed playback

* Played HD video from memory rec from Prime, RAZR phone and d/l from youtube

* Played games: Bunny Shooter, Hungry Shark3, Raiden, Fruit Ninja, Galaxy On Fire 2, ...

* Battery usage still looks great!

Been on .15 for 8 hours now. No reboots and very stable, wifi a little better. Looks like a winner :)

Thank you Gary and ASUS for a prompt fix especially since it came out in Australia at the same time as well ! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yod-b:
. 15 seems really cool. After half a day only one bit of flickering on YouTube. Other than that it's awesome

Edit: thanks Gary and Asus, you're getting it right! I love the way you involved XDA!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kecke69:
Remember to update YouTube app after firmware update ;-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gremlin001:
A huge thankyou to all that were involved in bringing .15 to the tablets. Mine now seems stable with no lockup/reboot issues..... yet. Nothing else seems to be broken with this update either. Is it happy dance time? Couple more days of hard use before I break out my clogs.

:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yod-b:
Haven't seen any updates for that, but I'll check again. Thanks! :-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Allos1997:
I had reboot issues in .14. Updated to .15. Everything is good again. So far have not encountered anything unexpected. Happy camper again.
