Updated to .28 no issue here. Rootkeeper restored root just as it has every previous time I've used it. They've seem to have updated the look of the Asus Task manager which I use.

Wifi/BT I am actually seeing an improvement now. I used to get about 1-2mb when using my headphones out of 20M. Now I'm seeing about 3-5.. so they messed with something good thankfully
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jyan_osu:
Ok my quick non scientific test of my wireless from the same spot in my bedroom one floor from my router

You can see my past results in March compared to today
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] effezie:
Those who have updated were you able to restore root?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seeknom:
In what sense does the new test build improve the browser? Speed?

Any idea what "very special coding" means? browser2ram type stuff?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jyan_osu:
With root keeper yes
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
when you reverted back, did you make sure the OG build.prop permissions are set correctly? sometimes renaming it or moving it changes permissions. I believe it should be:

rw-

r--

r--

same permissions as the modded one. highly unlikely though update is failing from that modded build.prop as there was nothing changed to make update fail. only lines were added to it. me n others(300 owners) updated fine with it still in place.

good luck....

Mine updated in North Dakota. Tried face unlock and works greats. Now its time to play.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NuKeM4n:
anyone here got the update for the WW SKU?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] detta123:
I have the same issue. I applied the .28 update with a modded build.prop and I am rooted, nothing else. It failed halfway with a ! android. I rebooted and the Prime said it is fixing itself to original condition. Everything is there, I'm still on .21 and when I check for update it says there is no update.

I'm out of options, any help? Do you have a manual .zip? ASUS hasn't posted anything yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thenrz:
Update failed!!!! Im sad. Will deleting the update.zip allow me to redownload and apply the update? Anyone know the file location? 1st update problem ever here. Reverted back to stock build.prop before applying...

Yup, still getting "browser not responding" errors. Fail :mad:

updaters, after you install update and it boots into homescreen, reboot immediately. This will give you best results. This is asus instructions on what to do after an update for best performance
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ThiaiZ:
Nothing in Sweden still. Is it rolling out just in North America?

BTW Demandarin. I am using build.prop tweaks that I use in my LG O3D ROM in addition to your tweaks and I see an improvment in both battery life and wifi range. Gonna send you a copy of it later so maybe you can just repass to Gary or make adjusts on your own thread if you like it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I don't have manual zip. they will update their site for manual install soon. so even reverting OG build.prop back and still not showing new update? it might be because servers busy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stantang:
same "update failed" then no update available problem here...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] effezie:
I'm same end result but I put stock build.prop back. Also put GPS back to stock but got red triangle anyway. I'm only rooted too. Really don't think I did anything else but must be something there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
cool. just post it up in the modded thread. I will be updating it soon with a modded build.prop to reflect .28 firmware.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Got_Nukes:
stock browser definitely less laggy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] effezie:
This might be what gets me to unlock too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
after reverting everything back to stock, try a soft reset, pinhole underneath microsd card slot, and see if that helps for update tl show back up. soft reset might clear any rogue stuff left from modded files after reverting back.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joeyddr:
Tried still nothing
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clenz:
Update went fine and everything definitely seems snappier. Got root back with no issues via voodoo. Time to play.

My habit is to always reboot before and after the update to ensure no issues.

No joy in UK.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stantang:
Already have 7 people had update failed/no update available issue here within an hour...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CharliesTheMan:
.28 is definitely snappier when used to base a custom rom, and also improved browser performance slightly I believe from what I can tell so far.

I bet it will be more
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stantang:
Reverted back and cool restarted 3 times, still not working...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
seems to happen every update, unfortunately. servers become jam packed with everyone trying to update at once.

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------

only thing I can think of is to wait till everything dies down some. so servers won't be so loaded. we had people who failed on update before like this. then waited till hype died down, and updated fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mopar400:
same here
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sledgie:
Downloaded update....went to Android screen...

On reboot, stuck at Asus See Pad screen for last hour.

No mods or unlock, just rooted with ota but unrooted before update.

Any suggestions? Tried soft reset and cold. Nothing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] raggedrebel92:
Another good update here. Just got my transformer yesterday, so everything seemed pretty snappy compared to my GT. But updates are always nice to see.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nurrwick:
US here, got it once, failed with exclamation point.

I only had the build.prop mod, no other changes to the firmware. Not even disabled apps.

I've been toying with sending this in for RMA on awful wifi performance, but if the update shows up and fails again, I'm going to just do the buyback at Best Buy and switch to either the 300 (for decent wifi) or something else down the road.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mopar400:
nope still no update availiable
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smrsxn:
got my first ANR on stock browser after 10 mins of use! google play crashed on downloading a game as well....

we waited 2 months for this!

my wife can't stop laughing.... embarrassing for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cmccracken:
Same here, seems to be a common problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neo1738:
My thought is unless Asus says "this s/n already tried once time out for say 24 hrs" there shouldn't be "no update available" for us trying to redownload the update. Server overload would just cause us (and others) to not be able to connect. This is a programmed message from their server to us saying we're on the latest sw. Another thing is maybe when you d/l the first time Asus notes your s/n as having .28 because you d/l it but with all the stress they haven't carried over or turned off a checker to see what version you really are on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
no mods or unlock and getting basically same results as others. I think its Asus servers.

I'd say wait awhile before trying again. based on your setup, you should be updating fine. you didn't change any fonts or themes, did you?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joeyddr:
Kinda sucks if that's it cause it shows poor planning and a cheap solution put in place. They have a count and should be ready for that. I
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shinare:
Just downloaded the update. Rebooted and got android with exclamation. Probably my build.prop which I restored but now its telling me no update available! Boo! :-(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
possible. but I remwber this exact same situation happening on last update on. 21. Asus servers was the culprit last time. people waited after the initial rush then tried again and updated just fine.

not sure what else it could be really. no other reason update should be failing for so many. even people without modded files posting updating issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] detta123:
Where can I revert back to the OG build.prop? Is there a download somewhere?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joeyddr:
Also it would be cool if it reset that counter every time someone checked
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] val1121:
Updated fine and root was restored.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kohawk09:
I've noticed the same results. These have all been taken in the same exact spot, no change in my internet or router configuration. I've never seen this high of speeds on my prime, finally getting what the rest of my devices get :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sgandy2989:
Just got mine in Florida, RootKeeper worked perfectly thank god. The browser is sluggish but once the page is loaded it seems to be more smooth. As for everything else, it seems to be faster overall Shadow Gun is a bit faster.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brakeb:
Anyone tested GPS on .28? I just got the update and am interested in seeing if anything has changed...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sledgie:
No go on the update for me. I'm physically frozen in the Asus eeepad screen - can't reboot into the OS. Every time I try pin hole reset or power button same scenario - frozen on Asus EeePad screen. What gives?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] effezie:
So if I'm hearing this correctly, it might not be my setup and could be a bad update that came through due to the server being overloaded?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
And I'm back in the rooting game! I
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brakeb:
Still no change on the GPS... nothing :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
correct. if you did everything right, as far as your setup goes, the only factor left is the update/Asus servers themselves. this happened last update also.

the last resort, if it still doesn't detect update after waiting a while, is to manually update the new. 28 firmware through Asus website. THST will override everything and almost 100% guareenteed to work. the drawback is you will lose root. voodoo won't work with manually installing updates. so keep trying but wait awhile though for servers to die down. check Asus website to see if they put new update there yet. or check developement section to see if someone added it to system dump thread yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
I'll let you know when I test it tomorrow... (just by tablet itself.. nothing, doesn't work)

Quick impression on the update so far...

1. browser issue.... eh, i'm getting more freezes & hang-ups... instead of getting ANR message.....

2. WIFI ..... still garbage

3. Battery .... I should know in the morning ....

4. Face lock & WIFI direct .... face lock works... WIFI direct is still a bit sketchy but is.. sort of working for me now.

5. Games ..... haven't played any yet to know

In the end... I hardly noticed any difference in performance, nor worth all the "hype".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
someone that has downloaded update but didnt install yet. upload your update into system dump thread in developement. this can help people to manually update until asus updates their website. for people who getting failed updates.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
Figures the update would come out when my Prime is in transit from a visit to Grapevine. Should be here Thursday so hopefully everyone is already updated and I won't have any problems with the server etc.

It's only been a couple of weeks without my Prime and I sure do miss it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ShelW:
My update when smoothly.

I have to say, I originally wasn't that thrilled about Face Unlock, based on my PC's face lock function only working so-so.

Have to say, on the Prime, so far, it works great! Haven't really tried other people's faces... maybe it unlocks no matter WHO'S face it finds, but if not, it unlocks amazingly quickly! Much easier then even using the pattern unlock function!

Haven't had any major issues with my TP before the update, so we'll have to see what changes I experience with the update!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
Wifi and gps identical to when received first week of January. In other words wifi soso gps nonexistent.

Dolphin hd went from flawless on. 21 to jerky and freezing on. 28.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dalew729:
Update went smooth.

Wasn't having many problems before, other than gps and reduced battery life after 21 update. GPS dongle has fixed the gps issue.

Don't see any difference in wifi, which has always been mediocre but acceptable .

Now to see if there is any change in battery life.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Hmm, Asus Task Manager widget has slightly changed...

Too bad it is even more buggy compared to .21
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mdpgc:
Mine is also stuck on the EeePad Asus start-up screen after attempted update...can anyone help me with this problem
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cosmotrkr:
Worked like a charm. Used rootkeeper, still have root.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
So far, the update works fine for me. overall system performace is smooth. Everyone who has the update installed should reboot or soft reset before using. Give it some time before making rash decisions or relying on postings from the usual negative posters who claims nothing works correctly. Also remember, a firmware update can not fix an issue that is app-related (eg misbehaving apps) I really believe that most of our lag issues are caused by bad apps that are not tablet optimized.

Good job beta testers, Asus chose correctly (wink)

Looking forward to what .29 will update on, i'm sure Demandarin will keep us updated.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vakbrain:
I had the update (WW version in Canada):D

It works like a charm !!

Curious .... so I'm stuck on Asus Boot screen. Been frozen for almost 3 hours now.

Held down and power - tried to manually boot in android. Did not work.

Repeated but chose wipe data.

Screen says "wipe data done. Signature match." And its frozen on that for past 25 minutes.

Question - how big was the update ? Less than 20megs? Mine seemed to download really fast but I'm Only my 4-8Mbit.

Did I get a faulty update? Trying to manually download .21 again from Asus site. Suggestions?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d1ez3:
so what exactly was updated or fixed in the update. Was the list released?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoMagus:
Wifi, BT , and GPS firmwares were updated. Kernel changed from mercury to venus. Asus Task Manager was updated. Wifi Direct got more options and works. Face unlock enabled , System bar lock can now show system information on the right side
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mdpgc:
Attempted to hold down the power/vol down button and it showed the update moving and then showed an android with an red exclamation...any suggestions??? was it a bad update?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sledgie:
Appears so
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mdpgc:
What do I need to do to correct this problem... do I need to wait til the servers clear up and retry or do I wait til they release the update on the site and will that cause me to lose root
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sledgie:
I think if you can boot into android, you can wait until the servers clear up. Or, until someone finds out how to reset the counter on the prime.

If you can't boot into android, I think you have to enter apx mode and push the .21 boot image, and then try again. If I am mistaken will someone please correct me. I'm downloading the .21 update from asus' site
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dbattenfl:
I just sucessfully rooted .28 with no previous rooting done. Used DebugfsRoot_v1.5 posted on the first page of the following thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1706588

I did have to install superuser.apk from the market and busybox after. But it is now fully rooted.

I actually tried supersu.apk first, but it failed. But after playing a few minutes, its all working.

I got excited and installed the .28 update before seeing the post about rooting .21 without downgrading. I never wanted to do the downgrade and have it fail.

After updating so quick, I started kicking myself for not reviewing other post first. But I tried it anyway on .28 and now have it all working on .28 and root.

Have fun and happy hacking.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nefariouss:
You can try. I had a failed update with no update showing after. I factory reset, reinstalled .21 via asus firmware page. Still no update. Reverted back to .15 and still no update. Guess we have to wait until they clear our primes off update server or post the .28 update to the webpage.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
There doesn't appear to be many kernel change other than a couple miner tweaks (though, I suppose those tweaks could change big things). Looks like mainly app and driver updates.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Uggh, now this is really annoying. Now even my display is messing up... getting all fuzzy on the left side while using Playstore.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I just confirmed this also. Sparky tool works for this new build. I'm now rooted again on .28. so no worries about rooting if people have to manually install this build once Asus puts it on their website. Sparky new tool is simple, fast, and works.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jjdevega:
Congratulations! I was sad when I read you lost root. Now back to overclocking huh?! lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] os2baba:
Mine downloaded very quickly as well. Took quite a while to install (about 5-10 minutes I'd say). And then the first reboot (especially updating the apps took a while as well). Just rebooted again. Will see how it performs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
already there ;)

plus I enabled my adaway app again. main these pages basically load up instantly with adaway blocking website ads. with .28 & adaway, best and fastest browsing experience so far. especially on my fav., opera mobile.
