Used custom wpa2 fix from aforementioned thread.

Used gps mod fix from another thread.

Backed up su 3.0.3.2 with voodoo root keeper

Installed Supersu

Gave su to Supersu

Uninstalled SuperUser app

Opened Supersu

Upgraded su binary

Ticked preserve across updates option in Supersu.

Downloaded firmware/rebooted/installed

Optimised apps

Old apps have root, no new apps gain root

Can't restore root from voodoo because superuser was uninstalled

Install superuser from market

Restore root ota works (I don't recall which prompt was presented)

Supersu asks for su, granted

Interesting how the preserve function did not work for me, and how voodoo does not like supersu at all. Voodoo will not backup supersu binary on my system. The whole process was definitely a lot smoother using SuperUser 3.0.7 across previous updates.

Also, no unroot or restore of original gps/wpa files occured.

Also, within thirty minutes of updating ICS, I had the sleep of death issue.

Update went fine with root & CWM. Looking for new features now......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] qery:
Slovakia, just updated successfully. Rootkeeper worked fine also. No problems so far.

Anyone help??

Rooted and unlocked

I heard you can brick your Prime if you do OTA updates with an unlocked bootloader just wait for the Rom update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brainimpact:
anyone having trouble connecting game controllers since update? just tries a usb wired and x360 with wireless receiver cant get them working, both worked 100% before update :(

edit: after trying for a while x360 eventually connected still no go with usb wired controller though
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yumms:
So whats the recourse for us who are unable to update the device?

Can we wipe everything clean and apply the update? If so, then how?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] madpete:
Ok two weird things...first i just updated and kept root...no root keeper or anything it just didn't go?

Second, I was getting really bad freezing and lagging in the browser...this seems to have stopped after the update. I was expecting to come on here and find people saying the same, instead people are saying its still the same.

I'm all weirded out :-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] babymatteo:
I believe the best way is to wait for a flashable zip to ensure your Prime doesn't brick.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Skullmonkey:
The Italy Facebook said that face unlock was not coming out this release. They said that ASUS was working on the framework to implement it in a future release.

Nothing special so far.....

Besides the status bar lock, I don't see anything worth bragging about. Anyone notice any other features I may have overlooked? :confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brainimpact:
i'm getting no lag anywhere i think people are judging imediatley after update when its always unstable till its been runnung a while then it go's ok later
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fazerrider:
I had them all ticked, just Temp. un-root (keeps backup) before installing the update. I downloaded the update just before I temp. unrooted my Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
Please do not do this. You will brick my friend. Wait for one of the roms.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jupppo:
That sucks? On the contrary, I was very happy over the last updates that I didn't get all the bugs. Two weeks more won't hurt. I rather have a stable system than playing beta user. If your are so unpatient, why don't you flash a custom ROM?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darll:
Thanks...This fixed my failed updates
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cajl:
No update in FRANCE

and my tablet is rooted and ClockW is installed

have you a link for the update ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mardiie:
I also having problems with the red exclemation mark.

I've got my device rooted, and manualy replaced the play market with the new version that supports all apps menu. After that i updated asus vibe and stuff since it was showing updates.

These are ofcourse system apps?

So now my OTA wont work?

Can anyone post a link to a manual update here when its available?

Or can i do anything else, next to ADB'ing.

If I'm rooted, and have an unlocked bootloader, but am still running stock, am I ok?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rytkonen:
Browser freeze is still there. What is the cause of that freezing? Opera is the only browser running without freezing. It is not the biggest problem in the world but it is rather annoying when the browser freezes every time for few seconds when loading some pages and I have flash turned off. For example Samsung Galaxy S2 has zero lag on the default browser and doesnt freeze ever even with few youtube videos running on the same time in the page.

Don't know if somebody already mentioned it, but the stock asus live wallpaper is more 'live' now.

It has a sun animation and flying birds, and now I have falling stars and fireflies :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaxican25:
guys who are having problems updating try this go to settings/apps/all and scroll down to dmclients and clear data and cache reboot and try the update again :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] escalated:
Just so everyone knows, I updated after asking this (i'm impatient, but after thinking about it, thought it would be ok, it's still stock).

It's currently optimizing applications, so it looks like it went ok.

Edit: I also temp. unrooted with voodoo rootkeeper

Edit: Turns out I'm not unlocked, sorry guys, was thinking of my galaxy nexus
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] XXRay:
Impatience

Everytime there has been an update to US/WW after 2 to 3 weeks exactly the same firmware came out for the DE. And I will bet that the same is going to happen this time, so what is the purpose of waiting for a bugfix that results in a new firm for WW/US and again a 2 weeks waiting time for DE. I can change the SKU version and install the .21, but why should I have to do this to get the update the rest of the worls gets..and then the OTA doesn't work anymore..even though OTA for DE versions is uncommon. Changing to a custom ROM as long as the complete bootloader is not unlocked is a pass for me and I am still in the warranty period. And by definition as a XDA member beta testing should be your hobby.. so bring it on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Stalte:
could someone post a zip file.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pinky059:
+1!! Please.....

I was under the impression you can't receive OTA updates from ASUS if you are unlocked.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] escalated:
Crap, now that you mention it I could be thinking of my galaxy nexus...damn.

Is there an unlocked padlock on boot for the transformer prime if you're unlocked? like on the galaxy nexus? or another way to tell?

I am Rooted (didn't temp unroot before updating)

Updated to .21

Restore root using rootkeeper.

Have WW edition (Canada)

All works well
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
Yeah my understanding was you would brick. If this is incorrect please let me know, maybe I will check it out =)

Edit: there is a file called unlock time in either the root directory or system directory. Thats how I know mine worked.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] teh_lorax:
So I was getting the Red Ex like most people. Here's how I fixed it:

1. Downloaded the full .zip of my version. Mine was .15, which I just did a Google search for.

2. Unzipped the download and put it at the root of the (internal) sdcard

3. (Not sure if this step through step 6 is required) Powered off, then held down the Vol Down key while holding the power button.

4. When prompted, let go of Vol Down + Power and press Vol Up

5. This started the update process again, where I got the Red Ex.

6. Held down the power button to reboot.

7. After it booted, a couple minutes later was given the option to install firmware (.15).

8. Once that was done and rebooted, I checked for new firmware.

9. This time it installed correctly.

However, it looks like doing the full reinstall of .15 made me lose root, and RootKeeper isn't working. Anyone know how to root this latest version?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] georgiejr:
Like many others, I just rooted my device so I could tether my prime to my atrix. this was replacing the wpa_supplicant file and that was it.

Now I am getting the red exclamation pt after it tries to install the upgrade. I don't have Voodoo OTA root keeper, so I am totally lost.

PLease advise on how to unroot (as they say) and install this firmware.

Thank you
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mardiie:
An update.

I posted earlier about problems with the exclemation mark.

I installed a new market and updated vibes etc by myself. so prolly thats what the problem was.

I factory resetted, didnt work.

Then i downloaded the

http://support.asus.com/download.as...rmer Prime TF201&p=20&s=16&os=32&hashedid=n/a

WW .15 zip, copied to SD, installed on prime. Then OTA worked fine! Now im on .21!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] n-abler:
I used to have an awful browser hang/lockup problem ( didn't matter what browser), seems like this update may have solved that, I sure hope it's not just coincidental, because then my Prime experience will finally be become complaint free!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] escalated:
I didn't find a file named "unlock" or "unlocktime" in either the root directory, or the system directory. looks like i'm not unlocked. going back to edit my post now so people dont brick things :X
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
being rooted and having modded wifi files won't cause update to fail. I have exact same thing and didn't change anything and update installed just fine. there must be something else in there you changed. you don't need to unroot to make update work.

although it shouldn't matter, just take off the .bak off the original wifi file you renamed. then rename the modded one to .bak at the end or just move that file to somewhere else. like your downloads folder. then try to update again and see if it'll work.

if you want to unroot, just use voodoo to temp unroot or use vilerprimetool to unroot. I'd say try to update first after putting wifi files back to normal. if that don't work, then unroot. if all that still doesn't work, then there's something else you changed or deleted from stock setup.

edit: you can go to market place and get voodoo OTA rootkeeper. its free. then use it to backup your root. then use it to temp. unroot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] undercover:
Ffs, dead droid. Can't unroot, can't reboot... Trying method above now. I wonder what fails update...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chastity:
I just updated. My TP is rooted, CVM installed, Google+ removed .... no problems at all. Voodoo OTA restored root as always.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
anyone can have a nonworking CWM installed. but I can almost guareenteed you not Officially unlocked. if you were you wouldn't of even got the update. CWM doesn't work properly without being unlocked.

unlocked devices can't receive OTA updates. Also unlocked is not the same as being rooted..lmfao. there are lots of new people who think those are one in the same. or that if you rooted, then you unlocked. or you have to unlock in order to root..lmao

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
This is what i've been trying to do, but i can't get it to prompt me. Following ASUS instructions, it says to put it on the removeable sd card, but that didn't work for me...i've got it sitting on both at the moment but much waiting a several reboots later it still won't prompt me.

Edit: ok it picked it up...applying now...we'll see what happens

Installed this am without a hitch.

Initial feedback is positive, things running smoothly and I've noticed I'm getting better WiFi reception and less drops after updating (I was able to use WiFi at a range that was previously impossible before this update on a very early Prime unit)

Google play music still goes blackscreen on me (and looses top menu bar on re-entry or 'backstep' on the lower menu) every time I try to access a playlist, but that's been happening for a while and I haven't found anything to work around it other than only do album play.

As i shared earlier ive also installed the zip .15 WW from the asus international website, then updated. Since before i did that i got the red exclemation mark.

After that i updated to .21 but didnt check if i was rooted, wich i wasnt anymore.

Now im trying vipermod but it doesnt seem to work.

Anyone has an idea?

Anyone else who updated to. 21 getting annoying screen flicker when web browsing?

Wasn't present on. 15 for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] undercover:
Yeah, I worked.

Steps to follow.

1. Download. 15 update from Asus.

2. Extract zip file.

3. Put extracted file which is also zip on root of your tfp storage.

4. Reboot

5. Install "update" when prompted.

6. After install and complete boot check for an update manually.

7. Install new ota.

Upgraded my C1 just now, no issues at all voodoo restored root just like in previous updates, everything working it's about time battery in settings shows broken down stats!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rx jr.:
where do you guys get the updates? I go to settings and try to download the firmware from there but it says it doesnt find anything
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mardiie:
Ive lost my root due to the zip install. I'm on .21 now and the programs don't work.

I was thinking of unlocking my boot loader.

If I do this will I be able to get a old update zip from Asus, and use that in CWM recovery, and then reroot and reupdate? Or will the ota not work then? Or can't I use a official zip in CMW?

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoMagus:
Did mine through settings it found it the first time I checked.. and guys why are you trying to root afterwords if you already have it just use voodoo ota rootkeeper in the market if you lost it your prob gonna have to wait for a new exploit you always lose root updating ota
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mardiie:
That weird.

I take it your on a official WW ics rom? Might have to update manually to WW instead of US first? You can check at what version you are at about phone.

Just guessing here though!

---------- Post added at 09:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

We had modded systems files so ota failed. So we first manually flashed .15 from Asus which replaces the complete rom, then I updated. But root was lost in the .15 update. Understand? :-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1SiK1500:
Ive rebooted multiple times. No change. First time an update handicapped my prime. I will advise again once i get on my home network.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoMagus:
After you rooted on.15 you should have installed rootkeeper and saved it THEN updated to .21 sounds like your screwed now you always lose root on ota this is why you use rootkeeper
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ClevaTreva:
Updated in UK earlier today. Was unrooted when I did it. Rootkeeper restored root OK.

Wifi faster AND much improved range.

GPS works now (lost on the .17 update). Better than ever. Outside 15 sats and most locked. Inside, in my front room, where I could never get a lock, now get 6 sats 5 locked within seconds.

Stock browser much snappier and no lock ups or crashes. Has anyone else noticed the new keyboard icon on the bar? I don't remember it being there before.

Not too sure what other changes are there though.

But either way, your not seeing apps.. your just showing system processes. Your "suppose" to see apps - 3rd party and OEM.. so from what you show, at least, it is not fixed.

Now that you mention it...your probably right. I guess I got excited when I actually saw SOMETHING there for once. Maybe the next update will FULLY fix it...:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
now that... actual apps.. is confirm then

a screenshot with just system processes was/is not

and if the kernel did not change - as the function must be built into the kernel - that means it was there and they had not turned it on until now. Similar to what I read they did on the TF101 several updates in.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PhoenixIce22:
Argh...

Wish I would have bothered reading the disclaimer before running the official unlock! :( Figured it would be like my Nexus S and still receive OTA updates when unlocked/rooted.

Asus should at least give people the option to re-lock it. If you relock within 7 days of unlock, then warranty could remain valid, but you'd need to wait like 30 days or something to make a claim!

Guess I should have read more, since I keep seeing a bunch of people have their TFPs rooted and are getting the OTA, I thought you needed to unlock the bootloader to do this?!
