Hello ...

I am glad that I could help you.

I also have Windows. But if you have displayed the known file extensions in Explorer settings, you have to enter the ZIP extension too, when renaming the file.

Also have fun with your Tab ...

Greetings Andy
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Yeah, or use Total Commander :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I think so, since it would not be able to identify the dock's firmware otherwise. I always run it docked, though -- I have only uncoupled it to show off the possibility in itself. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
I'm using it as a book (= pdf reader) and notes/e-mail machine mostly, so I dock it mainly to charge or do some cool shell geeky stuff, but I'm on sort of summer holiday (if there is sth like that when doing PhD), so it will probably change soon enough.

I've just tried rushing it to check for the OTA updates after docking, but it shows none.

Does motorooter still work after this update? I'd hate to lose root.
[Asus Transformer TF700] erisi:
Motorooter

It needs to have the latest adb.exe and support files copied over the ones ( that I have, at least). Then it worked fine for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rsabluebulls:
Can anyone perhaps send a link to the WW version of 10.6.1.14.8 zip file? Mine appeared in the system tay for an update, but failed when I ran it. Now the system update is not reporting a new version anymore and i am still on 10.6.1.14.4.

I have reset the device and enabled Temp Unroot.

Thanks

[Asus Transformer TF700] rickymh19:
anyone know what changes there are in the new update that was released on thursday (05/30)? V10.6.1.14.8?

i dont know if i should update my tablet to it.....i want to know if its beneficial or not.

even though im running cromi but still, you know.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
I know for a fact there was a kernel update, and a HDMI update, but I havent seen much other than that. Just a couple stability and bugs fixes.

[Asus Transformer TF700] rickymh19:
think its worth updating?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dchawk81:
I guess we'll find out. I'm just hoping it squashes the battery bug.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rickymh19:
i agree that stock 4.2.1 wasnt very nice to the tablet, but tbh cromi is amazingly great, on standby with wifi still on on sleep and notifications pushing, i get a good 2-3 days with low-moderate usage.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
If you are completely stock then yes as it adds stability. If you are unlocked and/or rooted, make sure you take proper procedures to keep root and such firstly.

Tylor
[Asus Transformer TF700] dchawk81:
Yeah I used to get that before this past update, stock with some junk frozen in Titanium. I'm hoping this update gets that back, or at least close.

---------- Post added at 12:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 AM ----------

Latest feels snappier, but it could just be that new car smell.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You should be able to find it on the Asus support web pages. Are you rooted and had some apps frozen or removed? That could be the reason your update failed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dchawk81:
I believe the battery issue, at least when docked, has been fixed. My tab has been up but mostly idle for 13 hours 38 minutes with only 4% of the tab and 4% of the dock used, and that included an initial reboot when I pulled it off the charger to reset the uptime clock.

Now, that's WiFi off and auto brightness but if I recall that's better than before.

I know this says nothing about usage consumption but the known bug was with standby drain.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
I think the drain only occurred when using power saver mode? But maybe I am wrong
[Asus Transformer TF700] dchawk81:
Well, my battery drained a lot and I never used power saver mode.

[Asus Transformer TF700] kublai1:
Where can i get the latest adb.exe to root? I upfgared to v10.6.1.14.8 and now i can't root with motochopper?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Did you enable usb debugging in Developer Options?
[Asus Transformer TF700] kublai1:
I didn't have it enable since it was a hidden option in this firmware. Now I have another problem. Root explorer, astro file manager, solid explorer does not see my sdcard but the system recogizes it and filemanger that cam with the system sees it?

Thanks for your help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Try to find it in: device/storage/emulated/0

The file system in JB 4.2 is driving me mad. Just hate it! The stock file browser "knows" where to look and at least shows you your files. But I am used to have control of my file structure. This just sucks.

It's due to the multiple user account option in 4.2 which I don't use anyway.....

SKU Build

[Question] i recently went custom on my transformer and i did not check the SKU build on it. I installed one of the CyanogenMod 11 nighlies. Now i want to revert back to Stock ROM for whatever reason, but one thing i did not do was note the SKU build on my tab. Using CWM, whatever Stock rom i flash, it gives error 7 which to my understanding is because of the wrong build. I have tried almost everything but nothing has worked so far. Is there a way of checking the sku build in custom ROM so that i can safely revert back to Stock rom? thank u
[Asus Transformer TF700] alwayskumar:
Hurray Its worked

Thanks a bunch for the great guide. I was looking at my bricked tablet for month. Now its running like charm. :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
Saw a triangle in system notification area after plugging tab into dock, checked it says mobile dock firmware update available?

Tried to take a screenshot but it disappeared after. (didn't click on it)

Before unplug it was showing 1% (left on dock) just few hours after, replugged it and now it shows 5% (no backup battery?), how could this be?

So, it didn't recharge itself, and checked "about" in settings the dock's version wasn't changed a bit.

It seems the dock is somehow misreporting itself under 0% battery power(?)

Does this mean the tablet implied a 5% reservation as emergency backup for the dock or is it simply the battery on the dock not reporting the true measure in amount of reserved capacity?

Or bugs in the mobile docking firmware?

Talking about mobile docking there was this message in screenshot below (in Chinese, it reads, "Currently using a non Asus keyboard") appearing few days ago right after inserting tablet into dock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tha_kreature:
Or, are you using the same charger as you got with the TF700T to charge the dock? Because someone said that doesn't work...
[Asus Transformer TF700] maedox:
It means you selected a different soft keyboard than ASUS keyboard.

TF700 charger works fine on my TF201 keydock, with or without the pad attached.
[Asus Transformer TF700] DarsVaeda:
Where do I check which firmware version I got? Have a European tablet.

Do I have to flash it my own or does it come as OTA?
[Asus Transformer TF700] nadram:
Go to settings, about tablet, build number

You'll get OTA but you can change the version if u don't like it. I had Chinese, switched to European.

[Asus Transformer TF700] AspenMan:
The new update is good, solved the microSDXC issues and the I/O has gotten a better (so far as I can tell). Just started experimenting, but it looks as if it was a good update.

My post here is to suggest rather than add to the existing thread for firmware updates, you remove the depreciated content (archive it or whatever, just don't include it here). This way we don't have to go through pages of outdated posts to check out the new info and the latest firmware updates.

Just my $.02...

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] DarsVaeda:
I suggest mods clean this thread of any post except the first and this is the only part updated.

Only posts informing about new updates are allowed but will be deleted if the first post is updated.

All other posts will be deleted without further discussion.
[Asus Transformer TF700] AspenMan:
"Except the first" post? Why would you want to keep that? We need to keep it current to the latest firmware. The first post can only be updated by the OP, are they volunteering to keep it updated?
[Asus Transformer TF700] DarsVaeda:
I meant we need a sticky that is solely about the current firmware and info about it and linking to a discussion thread from there to keep it clean.

Dunno what is easier, to edit the current sticky or sticky a new one.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cheltenham2004:
I am happy to do whatever is best to keep the sticky current and relevant
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nahakiole:
After I saw this thread I immediatly started to push the Update button.

Luckily after the first try, it showed me the Update, but as it restarted an opend Android greeted me at bootup.

Afterwards the system started, and I saw the message, that the Update was unsucessfull.

I now Hard-Reseted the Tablet to .22 but the Update doesn't shows up anymore.

But somehow after the reset, I do expirience less I/O bugs.

So I was able to use the Tablet while surfing the Web and using the Tablet normaly.

Hopefully I can get the Update soon, or Asus will upload it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] masiegel:
On which version (cn, ww, ...) are you guys who are on the xx.26 update?
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Running somewhat smoother after data wipe is pretty normal. Try installing and using 150 apps now ;)

US and WW confirmed to have received the update.

Edit: They normally come in batches though, so waiting a few days instead of breaking the screen is advised ;>
[Asus Transformer TF700] masiegel:
Is there a possibility to get the .26 earlier, because it's not showing up?

[Asus Transformer TF700] rlarson)mn:
Well I am stuck on revision 21. Not 22 or 26 but the original. The only update I got was when I connected my TF201 tablet to my TF700

t. The dock went from 206 to 207. When ever I check for manual updating it indicated I am up to date with my revision level which is getting really old. I attempted two different persons instructions for downloading the US update from Asus's site but neither one accomplished their intention. In a word HELP ASUS!

UPDATE: Downloaded the file from Asus's site and did a complete manual update from a miniSD card. Worked and am at 22 at this time with no issues. Waiting for 26 OTA update to come through or a posting on Asus's site for another complete manual update.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
Always be happy with what you got you're not stuck, as there's newer firmware in the future.

Am in US ............. and got UPDATED to

BUILD NUMBER

IML74K.US_epad-9.4.5.26 -20120720

and only issue I got with ASUS = short changing me by 'selling me' a Tf201 DOCK as TF700 dock !!!

(as I already did have that dock with my other tablet from ASUS!!!)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
What if you went to buy something called "ABCD" and it was written on the price list as "DCBA" and in the end you found out that "the thing you bought" is actually the very thing which you were looking for, would you still complain about someone selling you "DCBA" where "ABCD" doesn't actually exist? (would this still concludes him selling you a replacement product instead of what you were really looking for ?)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kalipok:
You misunderstood him, it's more like "what if you bought an optional device ABCD for you old EFGH and that, when you decide to buy the brand new EFGH2, you are told you should buy the new optional DCBA, because it fits the new EFGH2 better... And once you get it, you see that it's the exact same ABCD you already bought. Wouldn't you complain ?"
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
That's cool, I'm still waiting on it here in California.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
So as you can see he has the old dock already and it's probably with firmware that's not compatible with TF700 anyways, (but if he plugs his TF700 into the old dock, it will update the old dock's firmware automatically doesn't it?) So either way his old dock becomes a dock which is then compatible with TF700 and in the end he still have the decision to sell his old device complete with the old dock to someone else.

And if he didn't read the posts where people have already suggested that the old dock is almost the same and can be interchanged.

Wouldn't there be anymore confusions about the dock?
[Asus Transformer TF700] leroybrute:
Its just to bad you have to explain yourself in detail for the smart asses while most understood from logic to begin with.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
^ this should go into "HOW-NOT-TO use the quotations on the Internet fora"
[Asus Transformer TF700] gottahavit:
FYI in case you missed it an asus rep in the general section is claiming theyARE physically different and the model sticker was an oops/lazy. He claims it's different color, different weight, different battery position.

I called BS but since you have both you may want to chime in. I asked for pictures, no response yet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] JMQUINT00:
Lmao.....

I did hear that the actual 700 dock has a larger battery. I wouldn't know as I have the 201 dock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
This maybe true also they didn't change the label that's first thing, secondly the TF201 mobile docking device (with 207 firmware) simply works on the TF700, also "TF700 mobile docking" technically and officially doesn't exists yet. Unless they didn't really want to bother or is there some confusion bundling the new TF700 mobile docking (while missed the label).
[Asus Transformer TF700] leroybrute:
I saw a picture of a keyboard dock box for the tf700. It showed "TF201/TF700. Guessing that they are re-boxing the TF201 dock until the true TF700 dock is out.

PS. To the guy that said the TF700 dock has a bigger battery. I heard that the battery will be smaller to fit in the front of the dock to counter weight the tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jayz28:
.26 OTA update failed, now in boot loop

Has anyone had this happen yet:

I saw the OTA update notification and started the update with the tablet plugged in. The update completed and everything seems to work just fine. Several hours later, I go back to use my tablet and it doesn't respond to screen input. I hit power + vol down to reboot the tablet, and it works for a few minutes, then again doesn't respond to screen input. Reboot again, and now it displays "Touch Panel Firmware updating". After about a minute, I get a dialog "Failed to update the touch panel firmware. Please press and hold the Power Button until the screen flickers black for a moment to upgrade the touch panel firmware again." I've done this about 10 times, and still the same..
[Asus Transformer TF700] ricorico94:
Hi,

I have a TF700T, 9.4.5.22 in French. I can not see the OTA, even if I click on 'check for updates' in parameter/about menu.

My TF700T is rooted (debugfs way), but I did not do anything else. Do I need to "temp-unroot" or something ? Any thing I should do or not do ?

[Asus Transformer TF700] RubyRhod62:
I'm in France too, and the update is still at this time not available....Hope they 'll release it soon...Waiting for it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] nadram:
Root is not the issue. The roll-out of the update is just slow. Asus needs to get a move-on!
[Asus Transformer TF700] gottahavit:
Go read the thread, he's claiming the currently shipped 201/700 labelled dock ARE 700 docks and are different.
[Asus Transformer TF700] leroybrute:
I found it and read it. And if he works for Asus, he knows and can't argue that for sure. It also says on the Asus site that the Tf700 is not compatible with the Tf201 dock. My Tf700 plays well with my Tf201 dock. Its funny how I read something and think I have learned something and then the next day I read something to the contrary. Every other day I'm dumber than the day before or vice-versa.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
It was advertised the other way around.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rlarson)mn:
I am a little confused. Is this thread a discussion on the .26 update or the TF700 dock keyboard?
[Asus Transformer TF700] JMQUINT00:
It was advertised that the 201 dock had a larger battery? That makes no sense. The older keyboard has a larger battery.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cheltenham2004:
Well it is the Firmware update/news thread for the TF700 which should include the Dock as well however staying on track is allways interesting:laugh:
[Asus Transformer TF700] SurferLTU:

How can I update my tablet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
NOT from the source code. You can I. use either a) the manual update method described in the development section and posted here or b) custom ROM... or you can II. wait for a) OTA update, b) another file in the "firmware" section on ASUS support website.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jettubby:
Sent Asus a support email. They wrote back claiming there is no firmware .26 update. OMG.......are you kidding me?! :eek:
[Asus Transformer TF700] rlarson)mn:
Now I would love to see that email pasted here for all to see.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eddie Hicks:
I called ASUS support today and asked them about the .26 firmware update. I was told that the latest update was .22. I explained that people were getting the .26 update OTA. The guy insisted that .22 was the latest. I requested to speak to someone else who may have more knowledge in regards to firmware updates. He told me that anyone I spoke to would tell me the same thing since that is what is listed as being available. I also asked him why I didn't get firmware .22 OTA and had to manually flash it and he didn't have an answer. It's strange that ASUS support isn't even aware of the update.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
Not really, customer support for companies is often clueless, especially the lower tier reps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] leroybrute:
Here's my email from Asus today.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
I wonder if those reps even know it's not on the web site.
[Asus Transformer TF700] leroybrute:
Obviously not huh! But at least a confirmation of the .26 update. He/she did mention to wait 2 to 3 days to

ind it on the site to manual download.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
Lol :D The waiting thing sounds legit though, it does take them a few days to get it uploaded to their servers.

[Asus Transformer TF700] fincan:
Unzip the initial file you have downloaded. It will unzip into another .zip file actually.

Now copy that zip file to a microsd card's root, and insert the card into your tablet.

You will see a notification icon in the taskbar that there is an update detected, click that notification and it will update your tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
1. Decompress downloaded .zip file (it will be another .zip)

2. Rename it to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip

3. Format FAT32 the MicroSD card that you will be using for the update process

4. Copy the file to (the root directory of) your MicroSD

5. Insert it into the tablet

6. Shutdown (power off) the tablet

7. Power it on by pressing and holding VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons simultaneously

8. When you see white text in the top left corner of the screen, release the buttons ^^ and press VOLUME UP button until you see Android logo and process bar

9. Wait patiently for 10 minutes or so

10. Enjoy!

Also remember that you will probably need to use RootKeeper to regain root privileges and reinstall BusyBox too (firmware update changes the /system partition).
