[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
Everyone on custom Rom and Recovery, Do Not try to install the OTA either it will not install or you may brick you Prime. You must go back to stock Rom and Recovery before applying the update or wait for the devs to come up with a flashable version. This was said many times!!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vvveith:
Now available at download site!

It is listed now at there site for manual download. :good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] madmike23:
I was waiting for this also. The WW was up this morning but the US version was just uploaded now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] promiseofcake:
Wicked! Thanks for the update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mothman0:
Would someone mind pointing me toward instructions on how to update using the Asus-provided download? I've never had to update any way other than OTA.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gtabnoob:
fwiw all I did was let the download complete to my device and clicked update.

I was rooted with sparkyroot but lost it after the update. Rootkeeper didn't work for me.

Either way the update was flawless.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Generally good, although I've noticed a few issues so far.

1. The ASUS customized setting regarding MobileDock Battery saving mode does not stick. After an unknown amount of time (or a reboot) after disabling the battery saving feature, the keyboard keys stop waking the tablet and I have no choice but to use the power button or go into the settings page and toggle it on/off again.

2. Still receiving ANR messages for the stock browser. Suppose maybe I need to wipe, but I won't do so until I can re-root so that I won't lose all my app data. Browser2ram was previously installed though (survived the update, uninstalled but not sure whether or not that stops the scripts it asserted... I assume it does), so that could be having some adverse effects.

3. The unlock screen. I love the 4.1 lockscreen, having had time to play with it on my phone, but now my Prime doesn't highlight all my selections like it's supposed to. You grab the lock, it turns into its pretty dots, I slide it over, and nothing. (Exception is the Google choice above, it does highlight.)

I suppose all three of these could be caused by some porked ICS stuff moving over into JB, which is why I desperately feel I need to wipe, but I can always edit and retract if these are specific only to myself.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mosfet356:
Looks like the JB update is no longer on ASUS site.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:
just checked http://www.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201/#download

JB update is online..and you can download..tried a secon ago..

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mothman0:
There is still two WW updates listed... which is the correct WW SKU file? V10.4.2.15 Only for WW SKU or V10.1.2.15 Only for WW ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
When you try to download them you get 10_4_2_15 for US, TW and WW.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] toyotachase:
I downloaded the file from the Asus site. I extracted the files from the zip file. Then what? I clicked on the largest file "blob" but it says open file failed. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:
Unzip the downloaded file ONCE, so that you got another zip...

Place it on a microSDcard, and plug it into your tablet. Or you put it on your internal storage...doesnt matter

Then there will be a new notification saying "system update found" click on that, and follow the prompts. BUT STOP, BEFORE YOU DO THAT, CHECK THE FOLLOWING:

-unfreeze all apps

- backup root with ota rootkeeper

Then be patient...will take some minutes

Hey, just read the entrys...there is a mistake in the headline...but in the text its right...

First "ww" is tw, second is ww
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nickedynick:
Does that mean that Taiwan have a newer build to the rest of the world (10.4.2.15 v 10.1.2.15)? Or is it just that the support page is a mess?!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:
Think its a mess...like the updateprocess itself
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] toyotachase:
Can I download it directly on the tablet or do I have to do it on a separate computer?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chockchip:
OMG this method finally work..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
If you have ZArchiver you could use it to unzip then copy the new zip file to the microSD.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] krispy521:
So after 3 days of working on the Prime to get the Jelly Bean update, why are we so excited about Jelly Bean? I don't notice anything different except an ugly font and a good amount of apps (including my laucher) that are bugged out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cappurnikus:
I've seen several people report problems until they perform a factory reset, just a thought.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] krispy521:
I had to factory reset and then flashed .28 before updating to Jelly Bean. I can't factory reset now until there is a root method available for JB.

With all of the problems this update gave us, I'm just wondering what benefits we got in return. Usually when you get an update, you get a list of improvements or added features. I'm just wondering what those are.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Lol, must be your first set of updates. Every update they've (really anyone anywhere for anything for that matter) put out for the Prime has caused as many issues for some as it fixed for others. What we were at least hoping for is a lack of graphical glitching/tearing and ANR's. I haven't too much time to test, but no tearing yet at least.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stinebd:
Thanks for the update Gary.

Mine is great hardware-wise (except the back camera, ughhh). Once I got Asus out of the software-side, everything's been acceptable on that end too. CM10 really makes it a completely different device. Hopefully this release will be at least somewhat comparable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
Not at all. Having worked on and managed a top 10 based on traffic, business website for the past 14 years I can tell you that Web Java Applications such as cisco meeting place (a java applet, NOT Javascript), do work today.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aawshads:
Found a fix for the ANR's i was having, google "browsertoram" download and install the app and bam, no more anr's. Plus websites load way faster. It makes the browser use different memory and it really works well. I hope it works with the JB update. O, u do have to be rooted for it to work. I can't beliebe that app has not been more highly touted on this website.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sorceror171:
Thanks!

With some customers, it appears ASUS can't win. If they rush out an update with minimal testing, they would get slammed for problems. If they take the time to test it, they get slammed for taking their time.

Me, I'm glad to see JB for the 201, and I expect it to be pretty nice. Really interested to see what comes of the new kernel, whether it helps with the I/O.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] craigacgomez:
I don't mean to mis-inform... but my comment was based on my understanding of the system and the way the Android eco-system has been thus-far... a few exceptions aside, every device that has transitioned from one major Android revision to the next have mostly touted the new features built into Android. Given that the Transformer series is so close to AOSP without much skinning, I made a logical & reasonable point. The time spent in creating this release would have been focused on migrating the features Asus added and making the necessary changes in the kernel and drivers. Not much time would be spent on analysing bugs in the old OS given that this is a new software base. Time would be spent in making sure the new OS work properly. If it fixes existing issues people have been facing with ICS, that's a great bonus...

And if you look at the change-log posted above, what I said does hold true for the most case.

I beg to differ... I have a Prime and a Galaxy Nexus... and my Prime smokes my GN everytime... Prime on ICS/JB > GN on ICS/JB... I've never had random slowdowns, ANRs... not even on the stock ROMs... I used my Prime with an Infinity for a day... a side by side comparison to see if it was worth returning and upgrading... didn't notice much difference... games worked just as well... and operation in general felt the same... yes, I/O speeds were a bit better and the display was much better, but not enough for me to consider upgrading...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jkvato:
Very interesting. Do they run on a Transformer Prime? What browser(s)? Are plugins needed? I'd like to be able to get mine to do the same.

Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fridrik:
I have some questions:

1 - Does this update will take to come to Brazil?

2-It will solve the problems of wifi?

3-Will I lose the flash player if I upgrade?

4-The jelly bean becomes limited to TF201?

Thx
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rorytmeadows:
Wifi "problems" are a hardware problem.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO KEEP REMINDING PEOPLE THIS???????
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dcunited08:
1. Unknown

2. No, it is hardware related.

3. Yes

4. Jelly Bean is going to be released on many devices.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] b.huss2:
Agreed. I have had many devices and currently have the prime, 2gnex's, and an HP touchpad.. I know what runs good and what doesn't. My prime was worth every penny, runs any app/game I throw at it and runs it well. No "anr's" even on ICS. GPS works great(I didnt get, nor needed the dongle). WiFi works great. Asus still rolling out updates. Win.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
Sorry, but you two just lost all credibility with me. The Prime performing better than the Galaxy Nexus? With all due respect, you're either lying or completely out of your minds.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] b.huss2:
Lol Credibility with you- no offence but that's something I couldn't care less about. There are however many primes that perform just as they should. Its unfortunate yours does not.

#Again the haters take over and trash another thread...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rorytmeadows:
I often wonder if some people in this forum put their wifi router on the top of their roof and come in here wondering why their wifi is so bad...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] craigacgomez:
Yes, I do believe that there are many people who have issues with their Primes... but then again, there are those who don't... you fall under the first category, which is unfortunate... but saying that we are lying or out of our minds is well, rude... and perhaps, a portrayal of arrogance & ignorance!

I honestly have not had any problems with my Prime and I guarantee you that my device has been subject to more harsh software conditions then your device... I've spent time building and tweaks ROMs for this device some of which nearly bricked my device... but it has survived so far and still works like a charm...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
I apologize for being rude, but your statement struck me as so asinine that I didn't know what else to say. I've had both devices since their respective launches, and the Prime is a nightmare compared to the snappy, responsive GN.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fenturi:
Now, this evening, they've published a rollout schedule and full changelog for both devices:

Upgrade OS from Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) to Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean)

Default enable System Bar Lock

Add Multiple Photo Selection feature

Support Connect Dock (Accessory)

Remove Adobe Flash support

Remove Wi-Fi Direct function support

Remove Press Reader

It's also noted that Press Reader, should you actually use it, will still be available in the Play Store.

The update for the Prime will begin rolling out on September 27th, with the Infinity following close behind on the 28th.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mutelight:
I honestly agree. My previous phone was the Galaxy Nexus and it outshone my TF Prime in every regard other than battery life.

I am hopeful that this update will improve the terrible web page rendering speeds, random FCs, and extremely slow app updates.

---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

No need to wonder, the radio in the TF Prime is rather subpar. This is comparing it against my SGS3, 3 Apple TVs, my plasma, iPad, laptop, and a 360.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ian1:
This thread is about jellybean not arguing about the performance of the tab vs other devices
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] guardzero:
I feel sorry for you guys with the wifi and random force close issues. I have no wifi issues or force close issues and I'm completely stock. My experience with the prime has been great overall. Not everyone is experiencing the problems you guys are having, so its unfair to say everyone is having issues and that the prime just outright sucks. I'm not saying your problems aren't real, just that not every prime owner is having/has had them. If you guys hate the prime so much you should just sell it and be done with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mutelight:
I don't think anyone ever said that "everyone" is having these problems.

I am hoping that JB helps out with some of these issues as I stated earlier. I know it won't fix the WiFi issue or the awful backlight bleed/black levels but at least to the point where apps and web pages don't take a significantly long time to load.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] krispy521:
Nah, I've had my Prime since day one, but since we never really had to do anything for the previous updates except download them, I didn't expect much.

People seemed so excited though about Jelly Bean and I don't understand why. I might just go back to ICS so I can use ADW Launcher EX again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nickedynick:
Well after getting the JB OTA and doing a reset, my tablet feels drastically different. Could be that I just messed up my ICS install somehow though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] texstar:
It is like a whole new tablet. Boots faster, no ANRs or random reboots. No screen tearing on the left side of the screen. Everything is quick and smooth. After 8 months of frustration it is finally enjoyable to use.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Pecata:
Same Here-It's like a completely new tablet! Very snappy, responsive and buttery smooth! Love the update! Thank you so much ASUS!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] justavillain:
I cannot get the ota update what am I doing wrong? My wife's tablet got it but mine hasn't its unlocked but still stock otherwise
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:
Hey,

if you are on stock, locked and have root you should try this in the first place:

Download jb-zip from here: http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=20&s=16&m=Eee+Pad+Transformer+Prime+TF201&os=32

unzip the downloaded zip ONCE, another zip appears...place this zip on an MicroSD and insert it, or place it on the internal storage.

There shoul appear an exclamation mark in notification area, saying that there was an update found. click on it and follow the instructions.

if this wont work, try this (root required):

I have the same problem... My prime is a little faster but i have ANRs, and i don't want to loose my root so, i can not do a factory reset...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nickedynick:
Don't take my word for it, but I'm pretty sure I've seen people who have managed to keep root with Voodoo RootKeeper.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:
yep, can corfirm that...somewhrere here is also a thread in which is described how to restore ota rootkeeper root-backup if you are having problems.

for those who already flashed jb and forgot to backup root while on ICS, try this: {deleted, messed things up..link was for TF700}

flashing back an old ics, then upgrade to .28, then root, backup root and update to jb again...full jb-fw-package is now available on asus download-page

i update to 4.1 but still camera not work anyone help?

how to root 4.1 jb?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] woekje:
Just to confirm this to all those that were in the same situation as I was: I installed the official zip from ASUS (WW in my case) using CWM, and it worked without any hickups... Was using a pre-rooted (sparky) stock rom before. Voodoo Rootkeeper was unsuccessful restoring root though, but I put my hopes on some clever devs coming up with a JB root...

When I connected my dock it automatically updated its firmware OTA, even though I'm unlocked, so that part still works.

I'm really happy with this rom because We can now turn off the 'smart backlight adjuster'!!!:good:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jesse6749:
What the heck it is Oct. 8 and I have not received the OTA update yet and if I check manually I get the message that there are no updates for my device at this time. What gives here man!!!!!. Help Gary Key!!!!! - what is going on here????
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:
hey, do you have some more info?

like: locked/unlocked, root/no root.. stuff like that?

maybe we can help you then :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jesse6749:
I am running stock 9.4.2.28 rom rooted, bootloader is still locked.

Thanks!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:
Alright, then try the following:

clear app data from DM- and CMClient apps (settings->apps) and check again for fw-update (settings->about tablet->check for fw-update)

maybe you have to try it multiple times, maybe you have to reboot in the meantime...

if this wont work you'll have to do it manually, for that check development section and search for Trekest thread about that topic...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Video Out!

Oh wow. So, last night for the first time since the update, I plugged my tablet into my TV. I remember it being generally fine on ICS, everything still at least worked even though the nav bar doubled in size.

Now it seems the nav bar gets even larger and worst of all the video out feature now kills the functionality of the taskbar: good luck choosing between zoomed and cropped modes if you don't have several notifications already in the bar. The increased nav bar seems to over-rule the bottom-most notification so that if (like me) you keep your notifications cleared then it's literally impossible to actually hit the button that allows you to choose how you want the tablet to handle the process.

Haven't had as much time to toy as I'd like, but overall the official JB update seems to be a bit of a dud. Time to revert to ICS and try again, hope I retain root this time so I can factory reset after the update.

**EDIT:

BTW, I also was never able to get the OTA by clearing app caches/data. I had to factory reset through the recovery menu to finally be able to pick the update up. After the wipe just be sure to re-root, voodoo OTA rootkeeper, install any other apps, and then go through with the update. (Apparently you need SuperSU and to check some special option in rootkeeper for this to work across the gap)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jesse6749:
Well I tried your suggestions and still nothing, I also tried the manual method of updating and the update starts and at about one third in it stops with the dead android and this was with several suggestions on the development section as well. So I guess for now I am stuck with ICS but I do have the random reboot issue and was hoping JB might help fix that.

Thanks Anyway for your help.

---------- Post added at 07:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

I tried every method and never got the OTA so I am now trying your manual upgrade method (by manually downloading the update file from Asus) and it seems to be working the progress bar is 3/4 of the way done, so I am hoping this works cause I tried all the other methods listed on this forum and none have worked so far. Well it just rebooted and the Asus logo looks different so it looks like I now have JB and it worked!!! :o :good: :).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:
Hey, so finally you made it? congrats!

if your build.prop wasnt stock, that was maybe the reason for failed update...

but anyways...your on JB :)

I got an other issue with JB...HDMI wont work anymore...hes recognizing, that a acable is plugged it, but after 2-3 sec HDMI-Icon is vanished...comes back for 2-3sec, that vanishes again...can anybody confirm that?

With ICS HDMI worked perfectly...now its broken...

damn it...i hate this prime everyday more and more...never saw a more crappy stock fw...and never ever before i saw a more crappy support from the manufacturer... I WANT UNLOCK...without, the pad is almost unusable for me....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nickedynick:
HDMI works great for me. Even more so, since Play Movies now lets you watch purchases using HDMI rather than limiting it to the tablet screen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:
yeah, everybody telling me that ^^

i think im gonna sell this thing...spent hours and days with trying to fix things, trying to unlock, trying to update...i wanted it to work, and not that i work on it all day..maybe i can find some rookie who wants to buy it...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jesse6749:
I know the feeling man, sometimes I feel like throwing mine on the floor. On my Acer A510 I had the bootloader unlocker in 2 minutes and then I had a custom rom installed right away too. The only thing why I still have my prime is the keybard dock, it is the best out there by far, but if it wasn't for that I would have sold mine a long time ago.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:
Yeah, the other day i unlocked the a510 of a friend...

That was blazzingly fast ^^ boot fastboot, type oem-unlock or something via adb, done

(Btw, can you send me a good and stable custom rom, so i can tell him? Nothrills and other cm ports where very buggy atm)

I was thinking about buying an a510...but i dont like it that much...so i ordered a second prime today, lets see if it can get unlocked ^^

Edit: eeehm...if somebody wants the ununlockable beast...i sell mine, write me a pm^^
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jesse6749:
If I could sell my TF201 I may try the Infinity TF700, that is the one I really would like to tryout.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoteriX:
Hmm... post update, I'm stuck in an infinite boot loop... It boots up, loads for a minute or two, and then automatically restarts.

I'm not complaining per se, I think the device is owned a factory reset after a major update, but I'm not sure how to go in and backup some of the user data on the device before resetting it. Any thoughts anyone? Locked and rooted.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] justcookiesncream:
How did an official update put you in a boot loop?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GS_Dan:
Same thing happened to me. Had to wipe data- worked perfectly after that but it's still a pain in the arse.
