I am seeing the same thing from the UK (however mine was bought in Canada)...get an error "Failed to connect to the Internet" after the spinning rings make me think that it has just about to start....However I can browse fine and have internet connection. Guess I will just have to wait a little longer...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dannb:
Yup, exact same error message. I want this update so bad! I'm so used to Jellybean on my GNex that I just have to have it on my Prime, and I'm was waiting to see how the stock 4.1 experience would be before I would commit to unlocking.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jg10571:
After downloading and starting the Asus update, it stopped with Red Android. Tried this method and worked great on the first try.Now i'm sporting my JB.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] el_chiefo:
I've replaced almost 5 files, need one more...

Can somebody hook me up with:

failed to stat "/system/bin/ping": No such file or directory

This should be the last one.

Thanks in advance
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shinare:
My prime looked like it automatically started downloading the update. I say this because I saw the notification icon. However I went into Google play and with no provocation my prime suddenly rebooted I assume while downloading the update file. Now each time I check for update I get the spinning circle forever with nothing happening. Any ideas?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jamesey10:
Same thing in L.A. They should change the error message to failed to connect to the server.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] droidx2.3.3:
Mine just spins forever too. But mine failed once so I don't know. I can't get anything to work
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cpc-wpv:
it automatically started downloading the update on some device :D

Btw, thanks for head up :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shinare:
Aaaarrrrrgggghhhh now its saying no update available for your device! Dammit Asus. Wtf!?!? Seriously why is a stock rooted tablet so difficult to ota update? Guess I gotta wait for some kind person to make a one click upgrade for us non techie people out here.

Mad props to Trekest and Wipeout.

For those who are Stock Rooted with Locked Bootloaders, Trekest's method seems to be the only way to update to JB.

Don't know why/how those 3 files went missing, but it seems to be common among those of who chose to root, but keep our bootloaders locked.

Edit: Just FYI I personally lost root, even though I used VooDoo OTA rootkeeper to restore.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Phylter:
I combined this with some other crazy and not recommended stuff to successfully update my unlocked and rooted stock tf201 to Jelly Bean. I did not successfully maintain root. I would be glad to try and help other people with unlocked bootloaders to obtain the update too but I'm a little new to this and could use some direction. Is there a way to take what I have and make a clockworkmod recovery update with it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shinare:
Is there a batch file or utility that will push the needed files and start the upgrade?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mfpockets:
Do you mind specifying what "other crazy ****"

Can you post a how to? I have unlocked bootloader and Asus is ****ing us over with a tool they released to us!!!

Also, is it possible for a unlocked or even a locked bootloader Tf201 with JB, to take an image, and I flash that image? Here's to being hopeful.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shinare:
I checked my xbin dir and I already have those 3 files. Can I just download the update file and skip the 3 files part?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] imranmahmud:
Same deal, Washington, DC. Frustrating.

edit - Stock ICS, not rooted, locked - haven't messed with it at all. It is the Gamestop one, but I don't think that should make a difference.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fezza:
I tried the manual update way as described above but I get a stupid error in the logs: "E:failed to open /cache/dlpkgfile (No such file or directory)"

I checked I have the dlpkgfile and the 3 other ones and the command in the right folders with 777 permissions but just won't work on my US tf201. Mine was one of the few that failed the first OTA update and now checking update shows no update available. I think ASUS has a pretty retarded OTA update process.

By the way I'm stock rooted and locked and no other mods.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brainimpact:
Update Check now timing out in UK, I think servers are being updated and release is iminent for us European Folk
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Phylter:
I guess I can try. I'm doing this from memory since I don't want to attempt it again. If you brick your prime attempting this then I take no responsibility. Also, there are a lot of assumptions in this based on my uneducated guesses. Your mileage may vary.

First I put the recovery partition back where it was. This part can be done from a custom rom as long as you clear the user files after it installs the stock rom. I started the system in fastboot (Hold down while powering on and keep holding until you see the three lines of text appear. Start tapping down or power. I'm not sure which is the key since I alternated them. Use the down arrow to highlight the usb symbol and then the up button to select it) While in fastboot mode I ran the command "fastboot erase recovery" to clear clockworkmod recovery from my system and rebooted the device.

I followed method 1 here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622628 with the latest ICS rom downloaded from ASUS. This is the part that several have recommended against since it causes some custom recoveries to boot loop. This is why I erased the recovery previously. Even if you are already on stock but had a custom recovery this is necessary, I believe, because it fixes the recovery to stock instead of erased from the previous step. It was necessary for me at least because it wouldn't work until I did it. Also if you were on a custom rom you'll need to clear the user files in the stock recovery after the stock rom is finished installing or it won't boot.

I rooted again using this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1706588.

I downloaded and installed terminal and busybox.

I then followed this method to install Jelly Bean... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32099246&postcount=154

Hopefully this is helpful and somebody with more knowledge than I can make it something helpful for others in my position when I started.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shinare:
I downloaded terminal emulator from play and I fail on the very first command. I type in SU and it says SU: not found.

Ugh what the heck?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mfpockets:
Ok wait, so If I am on STOCK rom, with root, your saying I just get rid of cyanogen mode, maybe clear cache factory default to be safe, and follow the method above it worked? You definitely have an unlocked bootloader too?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Phylter:
My Prime is as unlocked as it can be. This is based on what I believe to be true. Again you can try it but I take no responsibility for what happens.

This should work if you are even on a custom rom like Cyanogen. Like I said you need to clear user files with the stock bootloader though. This is based on using this to get back to stock previous to the Jelly Bean update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shinare:
Ok... I typed su lowercase and it recognized it. But it didn't recognize cp so i just used root explorer to copy the file to cache. Then starting from the echo command I followed instructions. Looks like it is updating.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] csetera:
I don't seem to be able to attach. However, I managed to get the files in a somewhat painful way:

1) I downloaded the .28 FW from ASUS site

2) I unzipped the FW to get to the blob file

3) I used BlobTools (https://github.com/AndroidRoot/BlobTools) to unpack the blob file

4) I mounted the blob.APP file using loopback on my linux box to get to the system/bin files

At this point, the upgrade is just rebooting and I'm praying it all will be ok when complete, but at least I'm past the exclamation point. If people get stuck and point me to a good upload location, I can push the system/bin files tomorrow morning.

I kept getting the same error until I included the file extension for dlpkgfile. Try this:

cp /mnt/sdcard/dlpkgfile.bin /cache/dlpkgfile.bin

echo '--update_package=/cache/dlpkgfile.bin' >> /cache/recovery/command
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
Probably because you don't have busybox installed. Glad you got it to work :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] el_chiefo:
Craig,

I just need that one file. Can you PM me it or dropbox it or even email it to me. Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shinare:
I lost root. :( ota root keeper is not able to restore root. Says I have a protected copy but does not restore. That stinks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mudduck454:
?

well here is a noob question, how do I enter shell, then whats SU?????
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Anakin_SW:
Ditto. I'm hoping a root for JB comes sooner than later....totally pissed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Revelation_Space:
You need a terminal emulator, open it then type "adb shell"

SU is short for SuperUser, type "su" (you'll need superuser installed).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
Anyone from Canada get the update? Been flipping through a bunch of pages and haven't seen if anyone has.

I am getting a weird error when trying to check for update. It does it thing for awhile searching, then it says "failed to connect to the internet. Please check your internet connection" while I am definitely connected to the internet. Haven't seen anyone else mention this specifically so not sure what's going on.

have tried rebooting, and have tried reconnecting to internet
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djbutter:
I get the same error, and I'm in Canada as well. I tried rebooting it, but the same error appears.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mudduck454:
I tried the terminal app, and I do have superuser, since I am rooted, but when I type in adb shell, it says device not found
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
No need to type adb shell as that command would put you in a fake terminal emulator if you were on your computer. Just type everything else after that as you're already "in the shell"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RonH54:
I am sure it is mentioned somewhere in the 26 pages of this thread but I will still ask, has anyone in US that is Stock but Rooted actually been able to update to JB via OTA?

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TheWerewolf:
So it's not just me.

I'll get a long pause (up to 2 minutes), then get "Failed to connect to the Internet. Please check you Internet connection." which is working fine. Do this a bunch of times. Then get "No updates are available for your device." a bunch of times, then back to the previous..

And reading all these posts about devices bricking and updates failing..and the hoops people are going through to try and get JB on their Primes...

Sheesh.

Still, I'd be lying if I said I was surprised by any of it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1wayjonny:
The method I just posted is pretty safe, I would not call it dummy proof but it probably is the cleanest way to get it up and running while cleaning up the tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mudduck454:
well i dont know how to access it from my computer, but after typing all the commands in using the terminal program, the only line I get an error in is, "echo '--update_package=/cache/dlpkgfile' >> /cache/recovery/command" it says not found, but it is there, i checked. so that is the only thing holding me up from this update
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1wayjonny:
you are missing a folder, create it and your good to go.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] el_chiefo:
Quick question for you guys that have successfully installed Jellybean... I finally managed to get it installed and successfully able to restore root with voodoo but my question is that I would like to perform a factory reset and wipe the tablet. I have too much junk installed and that really bogging the prime down so I would like to rock the new jellybeans with a clean slate but I am afraid that if I do, I will not be able to restore root. So my question is this, if I perform a factory reset to completely wipe the prime and reinstall voodoo from market, will I be able to restore root if I back up root from within Voodoo?

Thanks and good luck to all of you out there trying to get this installed. It took me many hours so reading and trial/error but I finally managed to do it. My issue was that for some strange reason I was missing about 5 files from system/bin. I was able to use the System dump that was posted here from the gamestop one and extract the files that I needed thanks to the log file.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hx4700 Killer:
Yes but I was not using superSU, rather superuser. OTA Rootkeeper didnt work for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TheWerewolf:
Really? Is your image WW or US? What happens if I image a WW model with a US image?

The point isn't that you *can* do it - it's that you shouldn't *have* to. (Ok - yes, if you've rooted your device or you're running an unofficial ROM, I can see why - but this is stock device).

The 'cleanest' way should be to get the OTA update and let it do its thing.

Sidenote: I'm starting to suspect that 'North America' means 'United States' to Asus...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] grassey:
For those of you who lost root with the update using voodoo ota root keeper like I did.

How in restored root was by un installing super user and superSU. I then reinstalled super user from play store - when I went back into voodoo ota the status boxes had changed and it said device was rooted. Can now use titanium back up etc to confirm the same.

Hope this helps a few people!

Trekest thank you so much for this!!!!. Worked like a charm and was able to reroot using OTA rootkeeper. I didnt use the build.prop as I already restored the .28 blob earlier and rerooted with sparkys method. My initial OTA failed earlier so I had no way of getting the OTA again. I did save the dlpkg file during the OTA and thats what I used with your method. Thank you again!!!!!

I think you should make a separate thread so others can see this and not get burried somehow in this thread.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CekMTL:
Hi all!

Most probably it has already been said, but just in case, wanted to let you know that the update file "dlpkgfile" is actually a standard ZIP file (rename it and you will be able to poke inside), and it's used as an INCREMENTAL PATCH over what is available (and what it expects to find, as all files are checksumed before updating).

So if you have CWM available, you can just rename the dlpkgfile to dlpkgfile.zip, copy it to your root sdcard (easier to find), and then install it as you would with a kernel...

If you have a problem about assert bla bla bla... then do what I did; open the .ZIP, and navigate to META-INF\com\google\android and edit the updater-script file.

I just deleted the first 2 lines of this script so it doesn't need to check build.prop, and that's all...

assert(file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "asus/US_epad/EeePad:4.0.3/IML74K/US_epad-9.4.2.28-20120525:user/release-keys" ||
file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "asus/US_epad/EeePad:4.1.1/JRO03C/US_epad-10.4.2.15-20120917:user/release-keys");
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "EeePad" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "EeePad");

Have done it this way after having problems, and now I'm in a booted JB US_epad-10.4.2.15-20120917

So, you need to have STOCK (root ok) US .28 and THEN you will be able to upgrade via the PATCH file dlpkgfile.zip (US version of course!)

Hope it helps out some of you who are having problems ;)

Anyone else tried this - does it work for OTA? and does voodoo restore root afterwards?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beckzz:
voodoo rootkeeper will restore your root when updated to JB, but if you do a factory reset then, it'll be gone...

If the OTA update failed, it wont appear again, unless you do a reboot and delete app data from CM- and DM-Client..

maybe you'll have to to a factory-reset (in .28 of course) too, to make the update appear again. (make sure you root .28 again after factory reset if its gone..otherwise you wont be rooted on JB).

if it wont appear again after these steps and you'll have to update manually following Trekest's instructions. Worked perfectly for me.

if you got a different SKU, you may have to switch it to US on order to be able to update to the us-jb-version linked there.

Instructions for switching SKU: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1492887
