You can't restore root when upgrading to another major Android version. Gotta wait till someone comes up with a new root method for the JB rom.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shinare:
Same here. *sigh*

Will try one of the two methods to root this evening when at home. Fingers crossed...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eiriklf:
Installing update here in Norway now. Servers worked perfectly, I downloaded the update twice since I wanted a factory reset first. Found the update on first attempt and downloaded in less than 2 minutes (it felt really fast at least) both times.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:
If you only updated you should have root...otherwise you did a factory reset before update or After it..that removes root...

you can flash .28 again , then root with debugfs and update again..

I'm showing a 0 length file when I click csetera's file link. I figured the solution for busybox was something along the lines of:

1) Uninstall busybox

2) Copy original system/bin back

But since I can't seem to get to the file from my prime using Dolphin -- I'll see what I can do about using alternative methods at my disposal.

It looks like you have to be a member to get to the file, is that correct? Just asking as my MAC (love VNC) is having the same issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] turboman93:
I can say with absolute certainty that I did NOT do a factory reset.

Great, now the main issue I'm having is that I can't get connected to any WiFi AP. *grrrr* It keeps cycling through Authenticating and Obtaining IP address. Before anyone asks, yes I did delete the Network and readd it. I'm also trying 3 different access points.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] John Kotches:
I just checked again, and system_bin.tgz is showing as a 0 length file so there's nothing to download. I'm getting the same result from my prime and my mac (at home).

csetera or turboman, is there an alternative method of getting this file?

yep I also can confirm the OTA failed for me (UK rooted) - got red triangle about half the way through the OTA upgrade - tablet rebooted after a further 5 mins and restored to ICS.

Anyone having issues with attaching to a WiFi AP? I'm at a loss as to what to even look at. I'm getting stuck at Obtaining IP address.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SquirrelDroid:
Totally stock & unrooted -- In the US (physically in MA, but using a VPN to a CT internet connection). After checking for updates about 50 times last night, gave up and went to bed. This morning around 7:30, the Prime was waiting with the update downloaded; installed without problem and running fine.

I did notice a bit of screen flicker in Netflix along the top of the screen (used to seeing it along the left edge, but haven't used Netflix much on this tablet) where the share Icons (facebook, etc.) are. Once my video started playing, it did not return. Have not seen any signs of the left edge flicker yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:
atm nothing like this has been reported..

maybe something went wrong during your update? cause its the second problem your facing (wifi and root) ...

we all know, that asus update is a little crappy, would be no surprise if something failed, even if tablet states that update has been successfully..

can you post your log? (sry if you already did and i missed it...)

maybe you try it from the beginning with flashing back your .28 sku-version, root it and try update again..

Hey,

you can flash back using this method:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1492887

you can get the .28 files from official asus download-page

did this 4-5 Times, works perfectly everytime. Did it a few hours ago to flash back from jb to .28 ww-sku, than updated to jb again just to confirm that Trekest's guide works for ww-sku also...

cool thing is, you can switch sku-version with this too...

EDIT: i got locked bootloader too...cause my device is un-unlockable ^^ so should work in your case

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] turboman93:
I just read through this and it does require root which I have lost.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:
hmm..damn, i missed this.

think you can give it a try (just type "su" in terminal emulator), maybe root is just not showing o something..

i'll check some things when i'm back home, see if i can find a solution for this. atm i'm @work...

i'll report back to you if i got news...sry mate
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] turboman93:
No worries. Thanks very much for your help. It may just be I have to wait for the full JB update to show on Asus' site to get this working properly. Which will suck.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gatville:

I can't even get adb shell to work.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:

if you are a lucky guy your prime is checking for update on its own...

if so, and you are even more lucky, it will download and install the update...

but the majority of users reported (of course the majority of users reported here.. ;)), that update fails in different ways...

first you shoul try this: clear app-data from CMClient and DMClient (and maybe google framework) via app-manager, reboot your device and be patient.

maybe youll have to do it multiple times...

if that wont work, follow the instructions here:

Thanks to turboman, beckzz and csetera (I think that's the name) for creating and making available the 9.4.28 system bin file. My path to the jelly bean sugar high was:

1) DL the system_bin.tgz file.

2) Extract to /system/bin

(# cd /system/bin; tar xvf /mnt/sdcard/Download/system_bin.tgz)

3) Unroot

4) Reboot (Note: dlpkgfile and command were already in place).

5) Recover root with Voodoo's OTA rootkeeper.

That was it. I've done this in condensed form assuming you know your way around the shell already.

Regards,
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] turboman93:
I'm happy that worked for you. Glad to see someone else is much further along than I am with this process.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mythoc:
just returned to stock .28 rooted firmware from tf300 jb. anyone tried installing WW Official Update on an unlocked device?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] EugeneR:
Yes. And Voodoo Rootkeeper did the job. Rooted, JB, Google Now works smoothly, voice search widget seamlessly switched to Google Now voice search. The only issue I found so far - As per Titanium Backup, system ROM is full (528 MB), there is no room to integrate new system aps into ROM. But I can live without it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] predictablyerratic:
does anybody know why after using the Trekest method and restoring root with voodoo I can still use root explorer to open system files but any new root apps can not detect root?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:
some people had that problem, no confirmed solution yet.

maybe you try to reinstall SuperUser or SuperSU and reboot...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] John Kotches:
IS the superuser app installed to grant SU to various apps? Perhaps that's the issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:
Thats what i thought :)

Thx
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] predictablyerratic:
If I uninstall and reinstall superuser I wonder if it fails if I will lose the ability to use root explorer
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] EugeneR:
If you used TB, you can restore them temporarily, to be on the safe side, then after OTA uninstall them again. Do not forget temp unroot with Voodoo RootKeeper before OTA.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:
guess you should give it a try...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] predictablyerratic:
No, I think I'll wait for a fix. I don't want to risk losing the ability to access the root files.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RonH54:
Had been been continuing getting Firmware Update available but nothing in Notification area or Failed update message. I had been clearing CM and DM client but still no go. I had been doing this with Prime in dock. It may have been mentioned somewhere but I removed from dock and Firmware downloaded. Now of course when I tried to install I got Dead Android with Red Triangle and my Prime rebooted back to stock. Once you get Red Triangle should I even try OTA again{not sure if I can even do that} or just try manual update method?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:
First try again with clearing app-data, reboot and wait some minutes

Try 2-3 times, then try manual way
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RonH54:
Thanks...Will do. Do you think having it in my Dock had anything to do with it not even downloading the update?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:
Possible, usually u should unplug dock and USB before updating...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] John Kotches:
My issues were unrelated to the dock. I upgraded with the dock attached.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cgrainger:
Satisfied, and No Problems

I'm one of those MANY who never rooted, never unlocked, always went with OTA, and have had mine since they were first introduced (BCOKAS serial number). It works fast and it works great.

Short of the obvious GPS issue (which I have never had need to use), I've never had any problems of note, wi-fi has worked fine for all of my purposes (both at home and at work), and every update has gone just fine. This one did too.

Only minor issue was that in removing Flash, a particular industry-specific program (for me) stopped working. I had backed up the entire contents to the Removable Memory Card, so I just restored Flash, and all is fine. Presumably the particular software company will take not of the changes in the Android OS and adapt their program eventually.

SO...... just for those who read these posts wondering whether to "do it or not" - If you liked your TF201, left it alone and used it the way Asus intended, didn't need all the fancy custom ROMs etc., and treated it properly, the update to JB was smooth and easy. It does seem a little snappier, but for me - I've never really had any problems anyway. And I'm NOT a casual home user. I use it extensively for work as well. The only thing I don't do (never have), and here might lie some of the "catches" for gamers, is that I have no need to play games on it - simply not interested and never have been. It's a useful tool for me - not a toy.

Well, the upgrade on my rooted, locked Prime went through flawlessly. Everything worked fine after a couple of reboots.

To clean things up I did a factory reset, to freshen things up and avoid problems in the future. Now wifi is broken and won't auth with my router... FML.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:
Hey, Good for you!

Unfortunatly many people have problems updating the asus way, so this thread is a good solution for them.

ICS stock was kind of buggy in some ways and if you have some issues asus wont fix , custom roms are perfect, providing even more functionality ...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] turboman93:
Well don't take this the wrong way but I'm glad I'm not the only one now. This update has been quite a cluster.

Anyone else been having trouble getting the OTA updater to connect? Since last night it just keeps saying 'Failed to connect to the internet. Please check your internet connection.'

The connection itself is fine and problem free and my prime is stock, no removed apps and not unlocked. Just busy servers maybe?

Anyone has an issue with the OTA being stuck at 84% download? Mine was stuck. I rebooted and had issues with it not recognizing it needed an update.

Then I tried to root it from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1706588&page=65

but it wouldn't root for me.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] turboman93:
Overloaded servers. I had this problem yesterday and it would stick at 99% for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:
thats not a particular "84%"-problem...its more a server-problem in general.

guess you have to try again and again...like all the others.. ;)

otherwise try the manual update method...

had an issue with debugfs-root too at my pc, was a driver/usb-Problem. didn't solved it at all, but tried another laptop and it worked..

otherwise you can try to change usb-port ..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ELStiko:
I figured it might be that. but i do find it weird that it stopped right at 84% both times.

Dumb question, but if I kill the download by rebooting, I can get the DL again later right by checking for updates?

Are you on the WW release? I'm going to try temporarily disabling WPA on my router to see if it's a wpa_supplicant issue. Either way, if I'm going to end up fixing it I'll probably end up sans root. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ELStiko:
I am on build# IML74K.US_epad-9.4.2.28-20120525

So I assume its the US release.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PhoenixIce22:
Don't get it...

Not sure why ASUS doesn't just release the full file on their server so everyone can just download from there too. My device is unlocked, but I never actually changed anything on the tablet, so I no longer get OTA.

To me, releasing the full file could remove load off their server, especially if they release it as P2P, after 10 people get their hands on it and seed it out, it would spread quicker with smaller impact on everyone!

Or maybe I'm just being too logical here... :confused:

I have a new problem. After doing an OTA update to JB successfully, I did a factory reset. Now I continuously get a notification for system update detected. It is for .28.

edit: Silly me. It was the US_epad-user-9.4.2.28.zip on my removable SD card. Duh!

Now to find a root method for JB.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chrisfu:
Check out this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22725128&postcount=115

This is what yourself and I are getting too, but on JB. We may be able to find a solution to this, if we can find some helpful souls with the JB WW version updated successfully.

Edit: Yep, looks like we'll need to wait for the blob to be released. This will mean we lose root too. Judging by the commands that are failing in adb shell, I'd guess that a busybox installer messed this one up for us.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] turboman93:
It's not specific to the WW as I have the US version. I wish Asus would hurry up and release the full update on their site so I can try and manually update again. Can you adb shell into your Prime still?

Sleep of dead?

Hi.

I've just updated my TF201 to jelly bean and now I'm having a issue that I never had using stock ICS...

I cannot turn my screen off using the power button... It will go to sleep mode normaly but then when I press the power button it just don't turn ON..........

....

If I keep pressed the power button it will reboot..............

WTF??????

Someone having the same issue?

Help!!

Note: I'm not rooted but I have the Voodoo rootkeeper installed and I can restore the root...

:crying::crying:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chrisfu:
I can, but most commands are useless. The reason why is as follows...

We upgraded fine. The upgrade didn't touch /data, which kept everything in tact and meant everything worked for the first reboot. Then to avoid headaches later on, I take it that we both reset to factory defaults? This is what caused the damage.

This ripped out not only all installed APK's, but the su binary and the protected version too (probably on purpose by ASUS, and I can't really blame them). Busybox still appears to be installed, well, the toolbox binary is there anyway. busybox is linked to various different binaries, such as ls for example. The thing is, without su we don't have permission to execute those commands. Wifi in Android is also tied together with using several commands that busybox will have taken over, hence why this is the most obvious problem that we're seeing.

As it stands our best option right now is to install from the blob when it is released. We've lost root anyway for all intents and purposes, so we've got nothing to lose by using the blob.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] turboman93:
Well I can't get to adb shell. I had lost WiFi after the upgrade which is why I tried the factory defaults. Alas, it didn't help so I'm hosed with a useless slab until i can get WiFi working again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RonH54:
I got a question that may have already been answered somewhere but not sure. I am Stock but Rooted and I have been able to Download update 2-3 times but I keep getting the Dead Android with Red Triangle. Is the problem caused by something in or not in update that might be corrected in future OTA update or is it something with my Prime? I am in No rush to get JB since ICS doing fine for me for what I do so I can waited if this problem can be correct via OTA eventually or is it that if I want Stock JB I will just have to do it Manually?

I followed Trekest instructions, but it failed times (couldn't find the file) until I edited one of the lines in the instruction . I was coming from a rooted, locked, ICS .28 FW on my TFP.

I changed:

cp /mnt/sdcard/dlpkgfile /cache/dlpkgfile

to

cp /mnt/sdcard/dlpkgfile.zip /cache/dlpkgfile

since the dlpkgfile I downloaded had ".zip" at the end

I was able to restore root using Voodoo Rootkeeper. Before updating to Jelly Bean, I installed SuperSU, opened it once, deleted the old root backup in Voodoo Rootkeeper and made a new backup. After updating to Jelly Bean, I was able to restore root and tested it out by using terminal emulator.

Now, after reading one post that mentioned it, I do not know if new programs I install that need root can be used (will test out when I get home), but all previous programs I had that needed root work fine.
