[Asus Transformer TF700] eoh7678:
Have already tried that- correct firmware installed, dlpkgfile for correct region placed in /cache, still no love.

Also, FYI, I got the OTA update notification and tried running it- it failed because I forgot that I had deleted some things from system/app that I never use (ie. ChromeBookmarkSyncAdapter, GoogleGarbageCrap, etc)

After reflashing the original .22 to replace missing and altered apk's and build.prop, OTA insists that there is no update available. Any ideas for a fix there?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
What should the filename be when putting it in the /cache folder? I haven't gotten that method to see the update yet...

Although, if it does the same "version check", then it'll probably fail as well.

I wonder if the folks that can't update are using a certain model dock or no dock at all? Actaully, I tried to update without the dock too - same issues. I have the dock with the TF700 model number...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
Well. They pull the patch offline simply because they pulled it offline.

And supposedly if you don't see a firmware at the official support site then it's not officially released yet.

So, only a margin number of devices got updated OTA.

What does this mean?

Maybe they haven't finished with the firmware yet ..?

---------- Post added at 02:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 AM ----------

Simply put you can't have any of your existing files under /system or any other partition in the firmware except /data modified.

For the patch to work.

---------- Post added at 02:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 AM ----------

The same file name as it was originally came from.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Well, not sure what to say - I've even tried starting from a fresh .22 install - still no go. What's REALLY strange is that my tablet *did* see the update automatically this morning, but that original update failed just like it does when I try to do it manually now. Alsomost like once it fails, there is no way to update! Maybe a bug on Asus side?
[Asus Transformer TF700] eoh7678:
Same thing here, exactly. After failing the original OTA, it's as though the update stopped existing for my tablet.

I'm trying a full factory reset now- data/cache wipe, reloading .22, etc. Will update.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
I think it still fails for you is because you've messed with the /system too much or else where, then the patch file won't match cause it is looking for the correct files to patch.

And I wouldn't know what else you have done to your tablet so, best to wait for the next update.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Ha! I'm trying that entire, exact same process one more time too! I'll report my findings as well.

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

Yes, but doesn't a fresh install of .22 overwrite /system completely? Plus after that I'm doing a restore to factory defaults - so EVERYTHING should be back to stock...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
Did you messed with your /system too? If not then version should be correct ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] eoh7678:
I've just done a complete factory wipe- format /data and /cache, flashed the original US .22 firmware, and still says no OTA is available.

I'm going to try flashing to WW image and see what happens.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
Correct then that's for you to find out.

Since the OTA isn't available anymore so there's no point in trying to find out why and how it have gone wrong, does it?

Here my tablet updated earlier yesterday morning it's the TW version.

I'm not really sure what's changed in the kernel but it doesn't feel more responsive too, so guess the update isn't good enough... IMO.

---------- Post added at 03:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 AM ----------

Don't bother because here I've got another tablet and it's not up to date yet checked for update and there's none available, the update was just available ota for few hours.

So let's put it this way, this is a BETA version and not supported.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I'm not following. As far as I know, people are still receiving the update - it's not "pulled" or anything - just not working for a select few as far as I can tell.. I've also heard a lot of users saying that it makes a noticeble performance difference.

I give up - I guess we'll just have to wait for Asus to post the full version (it seems to take a week or so before they post the full firmware)...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
If you really want to have the final updated firmware you'd have to wait much longer.

Or whenever it is ready, so obviously only those people who were told to update received it for Beta testing purposes only for their specific problem???

What else do you think and why OTA was pulled offline after a short period of time online?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Where did you see it was a beta?? Again, Gary Keys from Asus posted here about the release AND my tablet *did* automatically try to download and install this update - it's an official update.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
Then why did it appear to be not available any longer ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Because there is an obvious problem with the update delivery! Asus does *not* release beta firmware OTA - I've done beta testing for Asus on the TF101 - the send beta versions directly to certain users.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
Right, anyways I think there's still much more room for improvements in the firmware, as well as the kernel revision...

I'd like to see a responsive tablet as what it's worth, and not just a piece of item to address the table.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
Well this is certainly a lesson learned for me. I was one of the few who got the actual update OTA, but I was stupid and forgot to unroot first so it failed. Now, I can't find out where on the tablet the update file was downloaded and all attempts of this file is failing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Yeah, it shouldn't be this difficult - I've update the firmware in my TF101 *many* times without any sort of issues like this.

I really do suspect an issue on Asus' side as this is pretty basic stuff!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
I really think the solution to this is simple.

It either needs a client to do the update for it or it will need additional cooperation from the official patch server.

If you are still waiting then chances are you'll have to wait, unless you could get the patch file to run through the system...
[Asus Transformer TF700] JMQUINT00:
I don't get why Asus doesn't just put the file on the site and done. This way people have the option.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
This exactly what I did (check on the support site for download) immediately after been noticed with the update.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
That's the RL Benchmark results after updating to .26.

And some scores seems inconsistent for example "Drop table" 8.8 seconds.

In comparison to the score gotten by "d14b0ll0s"

Being rooted did not make the update fail in any way in my case. I even forgot it deletes su, but one click in RootKeeper restored it.

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------

Are you using cfq or sio as before? sio isn't that great after the update, I had 80 on it too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rlarson)mn:
I agree with you. I did OTA's on my TF101 and TF201 with no issues. My TF707T does not show there is another update for my tablet despite the fact that my unit is at revision 21 not 22 as posted on the Asus web site. Something is amiss thats for sure with Asus on the OTA process for the TF700T's. Asus this is 'VERY FRUSTRATING' for a new unit expecially since this is my 3rd transformer!!!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
Just the stock scheduler.

---------- Post added at 04:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 AM ----------

Same here with the TF700 with .21 firmware installed and checked update none was OTA available not even .22.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
Well switched to deadline and poof... drop table goes 0.4
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
That's great. Wonder what's the reason for the difference, I'm getting slightly better results with cfq, deadline comes in 2nd, but still very smooth.

The average transfers did not improve, however, if one counts out terrible hiccups when trying to do sth else on the tablet while copying data, this part has improved for sure.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ralganaziel:
Would it be possible to have the same file for WW firmware ?

heh wishing i'd waited to unlock mine now. damnit!
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
I get very similar result as yours and never get 50's as mentioned by D. (I ran these in balanced mode as that what sounded like he did). As I ran so many run with multiple cold boot, I noticed it ranges relatively widely from upper 60's (only one time) to low 90's. Average is somewhere in 80's. Certainly improvement over 110's seen on Andropolice benchmark but really curious how 50's can be achieved on some unit and not others.

I am thinking to perhaps try firmware reset. But not sure it's gonna change anything.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Actually I was getting very inconsistent results in various benchmarks on stock .21, then I unintentionally got my Infinity into a bootloop, had to flash .22 TW (which was the only version available early on), did a data wipe before reflashing and I started getting consistent benchmark results (although as bad as 140(-110) on noop; 87-110 on sio in various modes), both on .22 TW and .22 WW which I flashed later without the factory reset.

Anyway, I don't think it was .22 that improved the consistency of my device (and the results it was getting), but wiping /data (and /cache obviously).

another update file

I just checked for update it downloaded and installed no problem

I was rooted but not unlocked but unrooted before applying the update

I'm uploading my file because sometimes files get messed up during upload and would suggest someone that's rooted try to put the file where it was before I copied it (cache folder on the root of the storage) and see if it updates that way...

http://www.sendspace.com/file/8ox6sr
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Thanks for the post. Unfortunately, I have the exact same issues with your file. If I just put the file on MicroSD and reboot into recovery, it fails with a signature verification error. If I tell the system to update from withing Android, I get a version error...

I just don't get it! Why can't I update?!?!

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] LRiley:
did you try putting it in the cache folder?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
No luck for me either. I put it in the cache folder, but now when I insert the SD card, it's not even recognizing an update file. If I take that out of cache, then it sees the SD card file as an update...which fails of course.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LRiley:
i mean the cache folder on the root of the internal storage...that's where I ripped the file from
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
Right, I put it in /cache on root. And that generated the behavior that I described.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Same here - I put it in /cache as well, but still failed....

EDIT - while watching logcat output when trying to press the "Check Update" button, I noticed that it is connecting to this server:

https://mdm.asus.com/DMServer/AsusDMServlet

If I go to that site from my web browser, I see it is recording my IP address as well as a timestamp for every time I try to update!

Not sure why they are storing that info or if it's related to certain users not seeing the update (my tab did see it automatically originally, but the original OTA update failed - has never seen the update since)....

Anyone now why they record this info or if there is any way to "clear" it?

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
Is this the patch for us version?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Yes, it is - although it didn't work for me (I'm on US .22). Please let us know if it works for you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
I noticed that as well this morning! So, I took my tablet out with me and connected to some other wi-fi for a different IP address...no dice. Also did a tether with my phone and it was no help.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
If this is the same file as this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29456008&postcount=1

Then not going to download it again.

So if you or somebody else put it in the /cache and it didn't work why would it work for me ?

Anyways it's pretty easy that to install the kernel update which included with the patch file if the device was unlocked.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eddie Hicks:
I have firmware .21. I haven't been prompted to install .22 or .26. When I check for updates in settings it says there are none. Should I manually flash .22 and see if that will get me .26 OTA or should I just wait awhile and see if the update comes eventually?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I'm not sure what was fixed in .22, but I would update to .22 at least... I'm really starting to wonder if Asus pulled the OTA for some reason - I haven't seen any successful OTA updates from anyone recently...
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Ok, then don't try it! Geez... Just because it doesn't work for one person, doesn't mean that it won't work for you!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
My tablet is currently cool and running .26 TW version, I'm not going to take that risk of temporarily stuck with an older inferior firmware.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eddie Hicks:
Thanks for the reply. I already downloaded .22. I'll flash it tonight and see if I get prompted to install .26. I guess either way it's an improvement.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Lufterfischer:
Alright i think i might have found a way to flash the .bin file (for US users at least):

!NOTE: YOUR build.prop file has to be unmodified or this will not work!

Step1: get a root explorer and copy the dlpkgfile.bin into /cache

step2: go into or create the folder /cache/recovery and create a file called "command"

step4: edit said "command" file and write

"-- update_package=/cache/dlpkgfile.bin" (without the "") into it

step5: go to play store and download an app called "transformer reboot to recovery" (the free version works for me)

step 6: execute the reboot to recovery app

By following said steps i can boot into recovery and it starts installing the file but then for me the installation fails because the upoaded dlpkgfile is only for US pads and I have a WW pad.

DISCLAIMER: I am an half-idiot and doing this might brick your device - I am not responsible for that !! try at own risk!!

If you tried this and it worked for you pleas report back here
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
hey can you also manually enter the recovery kernel by combination buttons without having to download an app "reboot to recovery"?

Does it make sense?

---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

Looking at the log file again this solution may work after all.

Good job on the finding!!

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 PM ----------

So if the dlpkgfile was deleted already after the update completion, how then to download this file again from server if it isn't available?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Lufterfischer:
"hey can you also manually enter the recovery kernel by combination buttons without having to download an app "reboot to recovery"?

Does it make sense?"

Yes i think with terminal emulator

1.enter su

2. then enter :

echo boot-recovery|dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0; reboot

i got that command from the source of the app but it does the same for me as using the app
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
So you're trying this because you don't have the WW version (dlpkgfile) available right?

I mean booting into recovery by pressing volume down+power and press volume up instead of using the app.

---------- Post added at 07:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

Why don't you simply flash the US firmware instead and then try out this method !!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Lufterfischer:
No i am trying this because i got the OTA update when my build.prop was modified the update failed and now I cant download the ota Update anymore.

Unfortunately when the update failed my dlpkgfile got deleted... I still have some hope that somebody will upload a WW version dlpkg file somewhere.

And I simply didnt know that it was possible to enter recovery by pressing volume down + power
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
FYI, your command has a typo in it.

Change it from

"--update package=/cache/dlpkgfile.bin"

to

"--update_package=/cache/dlpkgfile.bin"

try again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Hmm, I just copied and pasted from your post. Regardless, if you look at the log file, it still used the correct update command, I believe.

Anyway, I will try, just to be 100% sure. Report back in a few.

EDIT: WooHoo!!! It worked! You are *the* man! Thank you *very* much for you assistance on this matter!

My only question is: Why the hell did we have to go through all of this crap?!?! Do you have any idea why it didn't it work just by putting the update on the MicroSD? Does this method avoid all verifications or something (still don't understand why the verifications are failing though)?

Thanks again! My tab is currently at "Camera Firmware updating" - looks *very* promising - I'll update this post when it's completely done.

EDIT 2: Worked perfectly! I'm not at US .26 without any issues. Thanks again man - this was driving me nuts!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Redefined301:
NP m8 ! Should thank Lufterfischer for discovery !

Anyways, hopefully there will be users able to copy patch file "dlpkgfile" off /cache folder and post them online because so far WW, JP, TW, CN, patch files are still missing.

[Asus Transformer TF700] dikdik3001:
I actually had almost the exact same problem. I was trying to upgrade to firmware US .26 from my MicroSD, but the update process would stop, the system would reboot and I would be told that the system update failed to install. I reset various settings, cleared my cache, uninstalled various apps, wiped all the data and even did full factory reset, but still got the same result every time. Then, after hours of searching the web, I found one user mention that his MicroSD was FAT32 formatted. So, I reformatted my MicroSD from NTFS to FAT32 and the update installed flawlessly. It was a simple solution to a problem that had bugged me for the better part of a day. I don't know if this would have helped you out or might help you out in the future, but it was the solution to a problem that was driving me crazy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] firetech:
I doubt anyone has it. Also, there's no need for this method anymore. Just download the full .26 update from http://www.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_Infinity_TF700T/#download and apply that instead (put the zip file (the one that's _inside_ the downloaded zip file) at the root of a MicroSD card or the internal memory and reboot the tablet, you should then get a firmware update notification).

The dlpkgfile method was only used before ASUS posted the .26 update on their site (but had started sending out OTAs).
