how do i use the ota root keeper??? is it as simple as clicking th protect root button then updating then restore the root and job done???
[Transformer TF300T General] w3by:
It is indeed as simple as that. :)
[Transformer TF300T General] robgee789:
cheers mate i thought it would be but its best to check :)
[Transformer TF300T General] 2stepsteve:
Nothing here. Also there is no mention of a .30 on the Asus support site.

Have you applied the update?
[Transformer TF300T General] robgee789:
nope im in the uk and there aint any update here yet either
[Transformer TF300T General] cavsoldier19d:
Nothing here either. I'm pretty sure that the updates come by firmware (US, WW,etc) and serial number, and not necessarily location.
[Transformer TF300T General] bazzio:
Also nothing here...checked Asus.nl and no signs of a .30 update.
[Transformer TF300T General] Throb1231:
Are you freaking kidding me?

I just spent 3 days getting .29US rooted after having OTA root update fail me, and now .30 is coming out.

I haven't even had time to play with face unlock yet!

Meh, I want to see the change log before I upgrade. Me thinks I'll lose more than I will gain
[Transformer TF300T General] leroybrute:
Seems strange that it goes from .29 to .30. Must be very small.
[Transformer TF300T General] NCRoadster:
I'm just glad we're seeing support from Asus.
[Transformer TF300T General] David Dee:
No ota update here yet on ww in Canada.
[Transformer TF300T General] jgaf:
No one has confirmed this. It might be just a fluke. Did the original poster upgraded to it? Pictures or it didn't happened.
[Transformer TF300T General] atomicblue:
probably a fluke
[Transformer TF300T General] dbdrop:
nothing in florida

Nothing down here in the south if it were to be a geographic roll out
[Transformer TF300T General] FlyingPoo:
Just adding my two cents to a useless thread to increase my post count by one.

No update here yet either. :-P
[Transformer TF300T General] OrenR:
no update on ww

no update on ww ver. in Israel aswell.

I'm waiting for a stable CM9 version, it'll probably be better anyway :)
[Transformer TF300T General] stingwasted:
Everyone keeps saying they are using cwm on tf300 but to my knowledge one is not specifically made for it. I didn't see one on their site. Also its not getting far enough to create a log or for some other reason. I don't have a cache folder and there is nothing in tmp. I don't use rom manager for anything ;) I will pm and see how I can help.
[Transformer TF300T General] EndlessDissent:
CWM for TF300 is right here.
[Transformer TF300T General] Throb1231:
I saw one confirmation....can I get another?

Manual Update from .29 to .30 US causes loss of root, not restorable via OTA rootkeeper. Sparky's root method will restore root however. Correct?
[Transformer TF300T General] Tom v H:
Is it just me or what?

This update is the best ever.

I can finally do some multitasking when downloading in google play.

Chrome works just as fine as stock browser.

The Download and File copy progress bar in the bottom screen is not jumping.

I like it:)
[Transformer TF300T General] stingwasted:
You rock! I didn't realize someone had modified it. Thanks a million. Finally to .30. It deleted root and voodoo didn't work for restoring it. Also put recovery back to asus stock. Reflashed cwm and reinstalled root. Works beautifully! Now I can get back to homework
[Transformer TF300T General] paedz718:
Will confirm tomorrow when I do the manual update, but I believe you need to use the Debugfs tool to root .30
[Transformer TF300T General] Mark923:
Got my update yesterday. But I'm not seeing where I can confirm the version. I see in settings where to check for firmware updates, just not the actual number...

[Transformer TF300T General] Raiderspy1:
Update failed

im rooted by downgrading, installing blob, using sparkyroot, and voodoo ota rootkeeper and was working fine. I received update notice, so i tried to update. It failed (little green android on back with red triangle). Held power button down until rebooted, said update failed, reset to previous .29 Im not sure what to do.
[Transformer TF300T General] paedz718:
i've heard it wipes the device, but i had to manually update b/c the first time the ota came down i had the modified build.prop file. didnt wipe my device and now on .30. rooted using debugfs method

---------- Post added at 03:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 AM ----------

did you modify your build.prop file? i saved mine as a .bak file, so i deleted the modified one, rebooted and manually updated by sd card. then rooted using debugfs method. sparky doesnt work on .30 nor does rootkeeper i believe
[Transformer TF300T General] tee-jay:
OTA upgrade to .30 worked fine and rootkeeper restored ok.

Was:

.29

Unmodified build.props

rooted miloj's method

root backed up with OTARootkeeper.
[Transformer TF300T General] robgee789:
still no ota udate in the uk for me :(
[Transformer TF300T General] Budius:
robgee789, also in UK here.

just turned it on this morning (coff coff, afternoon) and it was the message waiting for me: "do you want to update now"

my Asus is 100% stock.

still Android 4.0.3, but build number upped to .30 and I noticed there was a camera firmware upgrade on it. My camera version bumped from 127 to 128.

Besides the numeric upgradeI noticed two improvements:

- the lock screen (touch screen) was usually taking a couple of seconds to respond to the touch, now it's working as soon as the screen turns on. That was driving me insane.

- and as commented before on this thread. Installing from Google Play doesn't slow down the whole freaking thing. Afterall, come on.. it's a Tegra 3.
[Transformer TF300T General] robgee789:

Any ideas?

Also I can't boot in recovery, dead android shows
[Transformer TF300T General] dnaL0R:
ghaaa, im still stuck on .17

i tried force closing DMclient and restarting, but to no avail...

i think im going to unroot, factory reset, manually update to .29 [by dl the files from asus], root it, and just wait for the update to eventually show up...

the intermittent wifi signal problem of the .17 fw is killing me :silly:
[Transformer TF300T General] psjw12:
I've updated all the way from .17 to .30 and the update seems to bring noticeable general improvement to responsiveness and speed. My tablet feels much smoother. The only bum is the bug when opening the tablet lid the screen no longer turns itself on.

OTA Voodoo restore went fine.
[Transformer TF300T General] Kamoteq23:
Has anybody else have problems with xfinity player app and hbo go since updating to the new firmware? After updating I keep getting error messages.

For HBO go - "Unfortunately HBO go stopped"

Xfinity app - "Check your internet connection"
[Transformer TF300T General] Iceman248:
Hey, I just recently received my tablet and it came with version .17. I want root and of course to be updated to .30. What is my best route of doing so? Thanks.
[Transformer TF300T General] dxwilliams40:
I haven't had any issues with xfinity player. Use it a lot. I haven't tried hbo go since the upgrade.
[Transformer TF300T General] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
Got update message. :-)
[Transformer TF300T General] psjw12:
There is an exploit in .17 you can use to root (I think it's Sparky Root. Check the dev forums). Then get Voodoo RootKeeper, backup root. Then do the updates your tablet offers you. Once done go to root keeper and restore root.

Worked fine for me :)
[Transformer TF300T General] tee-jay:
I can recommend this method:

same here, still not getting the .30 update :mad:
[Transformer TF300T General] robgee789:
if you unlocked your bootloader (like me :() you wont get OTA updates but rest assured thing o doom is putting together a rooted rom for us all so it will just be a case of flashing his his rom and job done :)
[Transformer TF300T General] dnaL0R:
my bootloader is locked...
[Transformer TF300T General] Thing O Doom:
Just to confirm some things for everyone: If you've done pretty much anything System wise you won't get OTA updates.

If you-

Have modded the build.prop file (this includes using the enhancement tweaks)

Have Unlocked

Have CWM

Have looked at ASUS funny

Have flashed anything insecure through staging..

Bam - no OTA updates. You need to manually update, I'm putting together a prerooted .30 for you all as soon as I'm home on my good computer with actual upload speed. (Or at least one that one OV recovery so su can be flashed.)

ToD
[Transformer TF300T General] Sib64:
Could you modified your OP : PERI: A one-click Root and Recovery installer for .24 or less -- by me

and specified about the TF300 the process that we can do.

This will be easier to find this method on your OP rather on a post that will be lost with time ;)

Thanks in advance
[Transformer TF300T General] 777.300:
That would be great.

Thanks for the info.

Harald
[Transformer TF300T General] Citruspers:
Of course, if you return the build.prop to it's original/stock state and reboot, OTA's work again. At least for me it worked. (rooted but not unlocked).
[Transformer TF300T General] Nomad692000:
Hopefully this will be worked in a couple of the custom roms soon

Hi. I just got the notification (few days after i rooted WW.29) and i ran root keeper, did the update through the tablet to WW.30. I lost root but got restored with root keeper (of course).

Thanks Guys!
[Transformer TF300T General] :
I updated manually last night. Was quick and easy and I'm rooted again using the debugfs method.
[Transformer TF300T General] dnaL0R:
im thinking about doing it manually myself, but one question:

how do i push the update file to the tablet after i dL the file off the asus' site?
[Transformer TF300T General] Northern-Loop:
Download the Asus File, extract it once and put on the SD card, reboot and it will pop up a message saying update found and complete the install.

This only works if you havent installed custom recovery.
[Transformer TF300T General] :
Right, I had CWM installed so I just downloaded on the tablet, extracted once using ES File Explorer and then installed the extracted zip with clockwork.

If you downloaded on your computer just extract once, plug in your transformer and copy the file over to your sdcard, reboot and install.
[Transformer TF300T General] robgee789:
Did you lose your root?
[Transformer TF300T General] dnaL0R:
this manual method won't work if i have a modified build.prop file, correct ?

[Transformer TF300T General] Vilzu:
Just updated to .30, good news everyone thevodooOTA root keeper still works.

Changelog from asus finland's facebook page

TF300T ICS v9.4.3.30 -SYSTEM – improve stability of Chrome browser -

SYSTEM – improve camera performance -

Pictures more colorful -better audio- white balance(AWB) and auto-focus(AE) -better continues-auto-focus (CAF) -

SYSTEM – fix the bug “wifi occasionally fail to connect after resume from suspend status” Appbackup – fix the bug “have to key-in password again after change screen orientation

The fact that they improved the chrome browser stability is pointing at the possibility that chrome might become the stock browser in jellybean
[Transformer TF300T General] deathskater:
I read that flash player denied support for chrome browser for android soo.. thats a big no no in my book. Unless everything migrates to html5 wich I dont see it happening in a while.. lol
[Transformer TF300T General] deejaylewlew:
Its not that they denied flash for chrome browser.. its that flash is officially dead and unsupported. No new browsers will be gaining official support for flash.

As for the migration to html5 I think your going to be surprised to see how fast flash gets left behind and forgotten.

I understand that people want to be able to see all of the content on the web but I think we need to realize that if we keep accepting mediocre flash content, we will continue to have to deal with the mess that is flash.
[Transformer TF300T General] asrulz:
i noticed battery drain quite fast with this latest firmware (.30) from ASUS... previous version is better..

Chrome cannot play flash in Desktop mode ..its looking for file plug-in which is not available for android ...
[Transformer TF300T General] WOEHAA:
I had the update on the 18th of June (Netherlands, WW version)

I can't say it makes a big difference. The colours maybe, the seem to be a bit more saturated (not perse a good thing since I already liked the colours)

And I had not experienced the WIFI issue, I do hwever have a lousy GPS fix.

And who uses a camera on a 10inch tablet? So can't tell the difference before/after the update either.

(It's mostly a useless feature anyway, since it has no flash and if I want to shoot crappy pictures, I just take my Desire S).

[nagging mode]

What would have been nice is a fix for the native browser :rolleyes:

Manually updated to .30 firmware.

Lost root, re rooted with Debugfs rooting method.

Deleted all Asus Bloatware, running fine again.

Like the more saturated colors of my Tf300t now.

Later on discovered that I could not boot into recovery anymore, android failure screen.

Flashing recovery image again solved that issue.

All okay now on .30 firmware.

no mate otarootkeeper wont save your root if you update with cmw, you will need to root it again mate
[Transformer TF300T General] /dev/void:
Since you're unlocked and have got CWM installed you can just flash a superuser zip with CWM after firmware flash.

Second post of the CWM thread
[Transformer TF300T General] Gam3r 4 Life:
Hey guys/ gals, I know this has already been answered, but its a question I see asked a lot. I wanted to point something out to maybe help others who have this same question. The answer itself is in the name of the app. "OTA" Rootkeeper. This means "Over the Air" update Rootkeeper. So it will only keep root for Over the Air updates.

OTA updates only change certain parts of the system, and manual updates rewrite the whole system so it wipes out the Superuser backup that OTA Rootkeeper made. This is where root gets lost and cant be restored without rerooting.

Now maybe someday someone will make an app called "Manual Update Rootkeeper", but for now it only works for over the air, hence the name of the app.

Not trying to sound sarcastic at all, just hoping to help others with the same question. :good:

[Transformer TF300T General] robgee789:
how do you manually update the firmware from .29 to .30 with an unlocked bootloader
[Transformer TF300T General] FloEppo:
From the SD card, unzipped it there and then inserting the card. Device said upgrade found and from there it took it over by itself. I must say it took a while but now it says .30 is installed in the About box.

PS: I believe is locked still as after I pres PWR+VD i get that RCK message, after 5 seconds I have 2 options: Wipe and Android. So, basically ... locked.
[Transformer TF300T General] robgee789:

You will have to flash the .30 zip in twrp. The upgrade option will only work of you have the stock recovery afaik.
