Installing now. I'll report back with some info after it finishes.
[Transformer TF300T General] bsweetness:
It was a relatively small download. Upon installing, all it said was that it fixed stability with the tablet.

Android version: 4.0.3

Build number: IML74K.US_EPAD-9.4.3.29-20120511

Kernel version: 2.6.39.4-00009-g5d1292f android@Mercury #1

I'm not rooted. So far, I haven't noticed any differences.
[Transformer TF300T General] leroybrute:
Did face unlock come with it?
[Transformer TF300T General] swest6602:
Successful update. I have the stock build.prop. Face unlock is included. I was able to restore root with Voodoo.
[Transformer TF300T General] leroybrute:
Yes I did. I ran update first and screen flashed a few times and failed so I tried a second time and failed. I went to use my original build prop backup and it was gone. I should have saved to my card also. A little careless on my part.
[Transformer TF300T General] mike5335:
I am rooted with the modified build.prop. Update failed. It would be nice if I had to original build.prop.

Oops. :(
[Transformer TF300T General] leroybrute:
I had a copy. I can't find it since the update. Or possibly misplaced it. No telling. Hopefully someone will have a copy of the original and post it here.Any body?
[Transformer TF300T General] oxterc:
I don't have a .26 version, but attached is a clean build.prop version:US-.17
[Transformer TF300T General] dilfatx:
I got the update but no face unlock! What gives?
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
Updated restored root, and awesomeness. Did anyone notice that now battery usage is working :D
[Transformer TF300T General] wideopn11:
Confirmed battery usage reporting is working. I wonder what else they fixed.

Kept my root!!!

Wrong release notes, that's for .26 we are on .29 now.
[Transformer TF300T General] corwest:
That is for the .26 update. We are now on .29.

I can confirm Face unlock is now available, and honestly the entire system seems to be running smoother now. Could be placebo but either way im happy with it.

Upgrading was a pain for me though cuz I had done the Build prop mod and even after restoring my old build prop the upgrade would fail every time. Ended up having to downgrade to .17, root, voodoo, and OTA back up to .29 to get it to work. It did go straight from .17 to .29 as well just fyi.
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
Weird I just restored my backed up build.prop and it worked the first time. Anyways you got it working :cool:.
[Transformer TF300T General] keynith:
Guess its my turn to update. Make sure you reboot after restoring the original build.prop though!
[Transformer TF300T General] koen-ronse:
Right... was to fast... :o
[Transformer TF300T General] keynith:
Okay after restoring the original build.prop, then rebooting, then updating and finally I rrstored root so I'm all good.
[Transformer TF300T General] leroybrute:
does anyone have a clean .26 build prop?
[Transformer TF300T General] mike5335:
Ugh. I am hoping to not have to do that. I tried using the build.prop from .17 and the update failed. I shouldn't have lost my build.prop from .26. I am hoping someone with the original from .26 will upload it here. But thanks for confirming the workaround.

Mike
[Transformer TF300T General] keynith:
Ill upload it to my dropbox hold on gotta switch devices real quick
[Transformer TF300T General] leroybrute:

[Transformer TF300T General] keynith:
Original .26 build.prop

http://db.tt/G5HzV9fh

Hopefully that works.
[Transformer TF300T General] TXKSSnapper:
I'm having issues installing also. keep getting the red triangle android lying down. this is after restoring the original build.prop and restarting. If I can't make it work soon, I will be trying the downgrade and reupgrade route.
[Transformer TF300T General] keynith:
Did u make sure the permissions on the buil.prop were rwrr?
[Transformer TF300T General] TXKSSnapper:
No I didn't good catch. Will try and report back.

Edit: Permissions were set properly, but I just remembered I had replaced the original gapps with inverted ones. going to try restoring my backups of the originals and see if that is giving me issues.
[Transformer TF300T General] mike5335:
Thanks a bunch! Worked for me. And the root restored nicely.

Best.

Mike
[Transformer TF300T General] tedlogan42:
Same. Stock build.prop, able to restore root via OTA Rootkeeper. Not sure what else was added, but Facelock works great.
[Transformer TF300T General] keynith:
I didn't get facelick:(
[Transformer TF300T General] TXKSSnapper:
personally I find that preferable. getting your face licked can be kind of awkward. depending who is doing the licking. lol

On a serious note did you check your about tablet screen in settings and make sure the update actually went through? or did you go into the security settings and try to enable face unlock?
[Transformer TF300T General] keynith:
Haha yeah faclick would be a cool app. But i disabled it so there ya go
[Transformer TF300T General] corwest:
It could be a regional feature. I have the US firmware and have it.
[Transformer TF300T General] Archangel:
um me thinks I got problems,,,I deleted the build prop and put back in the old one and made sure the permissions were set now when I rebooted the tablet the Asus screen comes up and then nothing it is just black?????
[Transformer TF300T General] leroybrute:
Thanks for the help.
[Transformer TF300T General] leroybrute:
Same happened to me. I could see it in device manager on my computer but I tried everything I knew to see the tablet and couldn't. I hate to say this but I dug out the receipt.
[Transformer TF300T General] pijamait:
Restored .26 build.prop, updated to .29, restored root... everything went fine.

Did you guys switch back to modded build.prop after that?

Just curious...

It does feel smoother to me too.. especially compared with .26 with standard build.prop

:)
[Transformer TF300T General] Gam3r 4 Life:
Did anyone go back to the modded build prop after updating to .29? And if so did it work fine?

PS: Facial recognition works!! Pretty awesome.
[Transformer TF300T General] corwest:
I wouldn't since its not built for this firmware version yet.
[Transformer TF300T General] Gam3r 4 Life:
Copy that. Im going to wait until we get one for .29. Thanks
[Transformer TF300T General] mike5335:
I am waiting for an update since the .26 build number is in the modified build.prop. My sense of adventure seems to have diminished.

Mike
[Transformer TF300T General] 6stringaddict:
Can someone upload the original phonesky.apk (or point me to where I can download it)? My installation keeps failing, even after restoring the original build.prop (and setting permissions) and unrooting. To the best of my knowledge, I restored all the system apps I froze in Titanium Backup and restored all the gapps that I had backed up. The only one I think I may have screwed up on was phonesky.apk since I believe I may have backed-up a modded version over the original. If that doesn't work, then I have no idea what it keeps failing on.
[Transformer TF300T General] Archangel:
Did you tablet not turn off? Mine keep turning back on and the screen is black
[Transformer TF300T General] mike5335:
http://db.tt/MXy9zquE

Link to May 15 version. Not sure if this is the one you need.

Mike
[Transformer TF300T General] 6stringaddict:
Thanks, but it still didn't work. I am factory resetting to see if that'll do the trick.

Edit: Factory Reset didn't work, but downgrading to .17 then updating the firmware from there did.
[Transformer TF300T General] leroybrute:
Exactly what happened to me. Hold down power to shut off and after a minute restarts. You see the Asus boot animation then goes black. Would not shut off. I screwed up renaming the build prop in a hurry and rebooted so I could get fedex package at the door.
[Transformer TF300T General] cambunch:
You can update the modified build.prop by copying the first section to match the .29 build.prop. Did it in a few minutes and it still works great.
[Transformer TF300T General] Gam3r 4 Life:
My confidence took a hit when I bricked my first 300. So needless to say Im a lot more careful now. I really hope we get recovery some day. Wont worry so much then.
[Transformer TF300T General] AirlinerDudeB6:
Just upgraded to.29

Was rooted on .26 and used voodoo ota rootkeeper to restore root on .29 after install. No issues. Face unlock works great!

Just as a side note...you have to restore any bloat you may have moved out of the /system/app directory BEFORE you attempt to upgrade the fw to .29

Not sure if this is necessary, but I temporarily removed root with voodoo before attempting the upgrade too.
[Transformer TF300T General] Gam3r 4 Life:
Anyone noticing browser lag and "not responding" messages in the stock browser in .29. Im seeing it in the stock, and ICS browser plus. Running stock . 29 build prop. But even before switching to the modded build prop I never had this.
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
No problem here, using Dolphin and Opera.
[Transformer TF300T General] Redajx:
Still running .17 nearly 3 weeks and still waiting for OTA updates, tried all the suggestions available now just trying and hoping patience works.
[Transformer TF300T General] rwa66:
You are not the only one. I am on .17 also. Just tried temporary unroot, reboot, manual look up, no updates for me yet.:(

/-- edit

At least I know why my tablet does not get any updates now.
[Transformer TF300T General] Samsura:
I was struggeling with lag and not responding message in stock browser, but then i did a Factory reset, and now its smooth as silk.

I also got the .29 update after i did the factory reset.

Norway btw.
[Transformer TF300T General] Citruspers:
Huh? I'm Dutch and my tablet is receiving updates just fine, including today's .29 update.
[Transformer TF300T General] jj4201998:

[Transformer TF300T General] AWD FTW:
Well I updated my 16gb tf300 this morning to .29 and all went well. decided to stroll down to bestbuy and see if they had any 32gb since no one on the phone knew what they were talking about. Get there and sure enough, there is a 32gb, not openly displayed as a 32gb but just sitting in the same pile as the 16gb, preice not even listed. Any how, exchanged it and came home. But the 32gb version isnt detecting any firmware updates. still on .17
[Transformer TF300T General] UndisputedGuy:
try and search for firmware updates through settings.

[Transformer TF300T General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
OK I am such a nOOb when it comes to ASUS!!

How in gods name do you update? Does it just happen when connected to wifi? Is there an app I need? There is not one yt vid on these things yet.

I have also tried to sync w/ no luck. I installed the package from ASUS and it's installed. USB drivers are installed, but when I connect to the computer The ASUS sync tool just stays dark and says waiting for connection.

Is the sync what I need for updates?
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
If you are not getting a notification for an update, just go into settings>about tablet>System Firmware Update and tap on "Check Update"
[Transformer TF300T General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Amazing....... I should be banned:D

Thank you.
[Transformer TF300T General] capt730:
I had to downgrade also. I couldn't get the one click to work so I had to use adb. Relatively painless. On .29 and about to set up facelock. Their hasn't been a major difference that I can tell.
[Transformer TF300T General] capt730:
Also need to mention that I had the modified build.prop and reverted to the original and got the dead droid. All permissions were correct.
[Transformer TF300T General] i-l-l:
Updated tonight. Feels the same but i've only had it for a few days now and i'm on my 3rd fw update.

Love that face unlock is on here now. It was a feature I was looking forward to using when I got my tablets only to find out none of them had it. Hopefully Asus brings it to the other tablets I own.

btw, why did Asus take out the Android News and Weather app/widget? I use the news app all the time on my phones.
[Transformer TF300T General] mickey878:
just updated to .29 and this update has fixed my stock browser FCs..it has been running smooth since the update and seems to have solved lag issues which is a big thumbs up..

restoring root also works as it should with voodoo root keeper..

lets see how it performs for a couple of days before a final verdict...
[Transformer TF300T General] leroybrute:
Face unlock is on the tf101, and tf201. Are there more asus tablets than that?
[Transformer TF300T General] whkn:
WW.29 is working fine, face unlock working and kept root.

I had to manually "check for upgrade".
[Transformer TF300T General] rwa66:
I guess you did not root your tablet? Or used the EU blob to root?
[Transformer TF300T General] DFKT:
Dutchy here as well; on a rooted 300T with v29 running.

However, got the update via a manual update check.

Verstuurd van mijn ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T met Tapatalk
[Transformer TF300T General] CapNCooK:
There is no (.17) EU blob available for rooting.. :(

The only shot you get is rooting the device when it comes out of the box.

Once updated you get on .26 or .29, and the only way to root is downgrading it to US .17 and root that.

Downside is that you'll stay on US .17

At least i did.., and no updates found after 14 days, also when triggered manually.
[Transformer TF300T General] rwa66:
That is all clear to me like i wrote here

Citruspers answered he was getting the .29 update:

That made me curious, so my question to him was if he was rooted or not, if so did he root straight from .17 or maybe found the magic trick ;)
[Transformer TF300T General] CapNCooK:
You got that right.. He must be using his stock firmware, which came with the device.. (rooted or not)
[Transformer TF300T General] AWD FTW:
I keep manually checking for update and still no dice
[Transformer TF300T General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
2 things- you need a strong wifi connection and android market. (I don't understand the market part, but when I downloaded, I saw something regarding the market)

Ill give it a few days i guess
[Transformer TF300T General] p011uX:
My update failed originally, for I had a modified build prop. I restored back to my original, which was for .17, and I also did a temp unroot with Voodoo.

The update was able to download and install with no problem. And I was able to restore root. I am noticing some performance improvements, and Face Unlock seems to be included.

---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

Exactly what I had todo to get things working accordingly.

---------- Post added at 08:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 PM ----------

I am not sure if this was in any previous firmware update, for I was stuck at .17 until now, though there is a new feature called System Bar lock, found in the ASUS settings menus, allowing you to lock the bottom system bar. Pretty cool, so your palm isn't pressing things.
[Transformer TF300T General] keynith:
I swapped out my 16gb for a 32gb and forsome reason it says there is no update even though im on .17 suggestions?
[Transformer TF300T General] jericko:
My wife's is having the same issue, mine has seen two updates (.26 & .29). I think I am going to exchange hers (Amazon).
[Transformer TF300T General] p011uX:
It is possible that the update hasn't been pushed to all devices yet. I got mine a few weeks ago, and this is the first firmware update that I've seen, officially.

Maybe try to revert the build.prop to show a .17 firmware? Someone posted a link to a .17 build.prop file earlier in the thread, I believe.
[Transformer TF300T General] jericko:
WE both got our tablet from Amazon last week, mine right away wanted to update from .17 to .26, my wife's was on FW .17 and never prompted or saw there was a update. I was able to download it from ASUS site and manaually load it from a SD card, but today my tab saw the .29 and update, hers again wont see it. I did allot of googling and it seems to be sporadic issue with some transformers (A101, A201 and TF300) tabs and the only fix is to send it to ASUS.

I spent the last two hours doing everything (factory reset, downgraded from .26 to .17, ect, nothing would make the tab see the Over The Air update).

I just called Amanzon.com and they are sending me a replacement overnight. I suggest if you can still exchange it, that is the best option.
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
My experience with these updates have been the following, first time I turned on the tab I got the update to. 26 automatically. Then root was discover on. 27 so I had to do downgrade. After downgrade I wasn't getting the update, so I just manually refresh the update button in settings after a couple of hours it went through and i got the update. In my experience it is not a tablet malfunction or error it has to do with asus update servers, sometimes it goes through sometime it doesn't.
[Transformer TF300T General] EndlessDissent:
Yeah, that was in the .26 update. I used it a bunch when playing GTA. Never seemed necessary for me, but it seems like a useful feature.
[Transformer TF300T General] KoRn1234:
Can somebody please upload a copy of Asus MyWater from their TF300T. I deleted it and now update fails because of that

Best regards
[Transformer TF300T General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I too had the same issues...

are you going throught these steps? It worked for me
[Transformer TF300T General] jericko:
Yep, tried checking numerous times. From what I have read on other forums, it has something to do with the DMClient and CMClient not functioning properly. Some people where able to do the following:

Go to Settings - Apps - All - DMClient - Force Close then Clear Data.

Repeat for CMClient

Reboot.

Check for update.

This did not work for me. People have posted they had to ship their tablets to ASUS and once they got them back, their tablets would see the updates going forward.
[Transformer TF300T General] atomicblue:
any chance someone could post a video showing how to downgrade to .17 from .26?
[Transformer TF300T General] TXKSSnapper:
This thread should be able to tell you how. Not sure if anyone has made a video.
[Transformer TF300T General] CapNCooK:
That didn't work for me either..

I noticed ASUS does register update attempts. See here: http://devicetracker.asus.com and login with your serial. Be patient, the site is very slow.

Mine last attempts registered there are:

My guess is that the answer on non-updating devices lies there.

Only my stock-updates (WW .17 to WW .26) are registered, after downgrading no attempts (US .17 to US .26) are visible here. I am curious what this page shows with a TF300T which does get the updates...

At this point my conclusion is:

If you own a device that came with WW firmware, and downgrade it to US firmware, no OTA updates are getting through.

If you own a device that came with US firmware, and downgrade it to US firmware, OTA is working.
[Transformer TF300T General] jericko:
Thats some interesting info you posted, did not know about that site. But my Wife's tablet came with US firmware, and was never downgraded and she never was prompted for a update. I ended up downloading .26 and manually updating her, but again she does not see the .29 update, where my tablet as soon as I force a new FW scan, I get the upgrade prompt.

I really think the best thing to do is if you are in your return/exchange window, take advantage of it, that is what I am doing.
[Transformer TF300T General] CapNCooK:
And probably you did.. But to be sure.. You did download the US .26 version right ?

Also remember, when updated to .29, you loose the ability to use wolfs downgrade methods, e.g., you get stuck on .29 at this point.
[Transformer TF300T General] keynith:
I got mine to download by deleting the backups for.26 and .17 off both clients with titanium backup. All that was left was the .29 backup which i restored "data only" and it worked.
[Transformer TF300T General] jericko:
Ha! You had me worried for a sec, but I just checked as I still have the .26 update and it is the US version.
[Transformer TF300T General] CapNCooK:
Hmm.. I own Titanium backup Pro, but never used it.

So if i understand correctly, there's nothing to delete right ?
[Transformer TF300T General] ricardowec:
I got the OTA today... as I was in .26 and rooted I saved with voodoo and ran the OTA.

The tab rebooted and goes up to the White ASUS (noth the gray one), where the screen just turns off (the pad seems to be turned on) but I cannot get it to revive. I think I am bricked... any ideas?
[Transformer TF300T General] Gam3r 4 Life:
Got a dilemna Im hoping someone can help me with. Im thinking about exchanging my 16gb running rooted .29 for a 32gb. Ill need to unroot/ temp unroot to do the exchange. If for some reason I dont do the exchange and Ive done a full unroot Ill be stuck at unrooted .29. But if I just do a temp unroot and factory reset Im worried I might get someone that knows rooting at Best Buy might be able to tell its rooted.

Is there a way to temp unroot with voodoo, but leave no trace of it actually being rooted? Will there still be a su folder visible from the stock file app? Just trying to cover my bases. Thanks
[Transformer TF300T General] :
Take it there first thing in the morning. Everyone knows us geeks sleep in :)
[Transformer TF300T General] CapNCooK:
I don't think so..

But since you're rooted, why don't you just downgrade to stock .26 ?

It will be factory default, and you can always downgrade to .17 US, and regain root again, and OTA update it back to .29 ? (if you are in the US)
[Transformer TF300T General] edgemaster191:
Wolf's downgrade method worked for me from US .29 to .17.
[Transformer TF300T General] CapNCooK:
That would be fantastic news......

I read several posts from users including wolfs himself, stating that the symlink permission trick is fixed by Asus in .29..

Also, i read a post from someone who had bricked his device after trying...

Can anyone confirm .29 can be downgraded to .17 using wolf's method 2 ?

Thanks!
