I'm really waffling... I so don't want to take this thing back. Throwing away a $30 Skinomi will really suck.

It's just bootlooping trying to install the base .30 install file. When I try to get to the stock recovery, I get a red triangle over the victim and then eventually it gets to the boot animation screen / spinning circle. Inserting the stock .zip in the root of the SD card does trigger the install, but it just hangs on the spinning circle at the boot animation (that doesn't animate any more). So, both approaches lead to the same road.

At this point, I'm thinking (but really have no idea) that the stock build.prop is back as part of the .30 image and that isn't my problem any more. I pulled the SD card and I'm going to plug it in and just let it sit on the boot screen for a few hours. I hear the tone every once and a while that is made when you plug in the power cord. It isn't looping, but at least something is going on in there. I'll report back if anything happens.

So.. did anyone find a solution for the "red triangle"?

mine is rooted but not unlocked, i installed SU and SuperSU, also OTA Rootkeeper.

tried to update it this morning, and encountered same problem with you guys...:(
[Asus Transformer TF700] Gigaleet:
I'm not rooted or unlocked and I either get stuck out the loading screen for hours or the red triangle.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dankens:
there is no universal solution unless you do a complete factory reset. If you fiddled with any system files (perhaps some tweak app did that for you), you need to undo / restore changes. check last_log file in /cache/recovery (copy it to sdcard then view it) and see whats the problem.

On my 3rd attempt now (update downloads fine every time). sux when you forget to make backups :(

[Asus Transformer TF700] william tanaya:
if i do complete reset, will i lose my root?

Dont know on that. If you do, then you can just root it like you did the first time.

Don't worry ... I extract from the ZIP in Asus.com.

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] TrueShrike:
bleh

Also had the download go pretty quickly.

Im rooted and using stock .30 but the update failed and now shows nothing.

Tried downloading the zip file for the US version linked on the unlocked bootloader thread but no go there still get the dead droid with alarm symbol.

This is extremely frustrating as I know I have not unlocked the bootloader for my tablet (did for my xperia x10) and still to have not only update failures but even with restoring to factory defaults and trying to let the zip file build directly from the download link for the unlocked and still a no go.

sigh. Makes me wonder why I didnt unlock the bootloader anyway as the update does not seem to take on install on all devices. Also wonder when ASUS will actually post the file on their page so I can try forcing it that way as I had to do to go from .26 to .30
[Asus Transformer TF700] HeartWare42:
How did you do that? I had the same idea, but the files within the .zip file within the file I downloaded is a blob file.

How do you extract a specific file from that?

factory reset would restore all missing system apps right? and put back stock build.prop etc right?
[Asus Transformer TF700] william tanaya:
okay. i did complete reset... but then i cannot find update anymore. everytime i check the update, it just says no update available....

for me, after i do complete reset, i re rooted it again. and then keep it with ota rootkeeper

but then, i haven't got any luck with updating..

Complete reset will not help with the update issue.

What an anticlimax, waiting for ever for the update that hopefully would have made the tablet usuable finally just to not being able to install it. Tomorrow I'm turning it in for a Samsung, this was the infinitys last chance.

why wouldnt a complete reset work?
[Asus Transformer TF700] william tanaya:
i tried to update it the first time, and it just show red triangle.

after that i couldn't find how to get update after that. tried to check update, but it just says "there is no update available for your device currently"

[Asus Transformer TF700] moah909:
I finally got it working!

I'm pretty sure you need a microSD card for this, but not 100% sure.

I had deleted(not frozen) some apks on .30, and when I got the ota it had the red triangle. I then tried copying dlpkgfile to /cache and doing it that way, it also gave the red triangle(because I hadn't restored the apps). After a few hours of fiddling with the .30 firmware I finally got it back to stock then used the dlpkgfile method. You also don't lose any data this way!

Steps 1-5 restores stock .30 if you have deleted any apps or can't figure out what changes are causing it to get the red triangle. Steps 6-11 are actually for installing Jellybean.

1. Download your SKU of .30 from the Asus Site

2. Unzip it once and place it on the external microSD card

3. Rename it to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip

4. Power off the device, then turn it back on while holding volume down

5. When the text appears hold down volume up to boot into recovery, it should recognize the .30 firmware and install it

6. Root your device, you will need this to copy files to cache, if you want to keep root, download SuperSU, run it, let it update the binary, then install and backup SU with OTA Rootkeeper

7. To install the Jellybean OTA, find a download link for your version of the dlpkgfile (Here is the US version, http://d-h.st/W8Y Thanks to bartleyg82 )

8. Copy to /cache and rename to dlpkgfile, if not already named that, NO EXTENSION

9. Create a file called command, under /cache/recovery, with the following text update_package=/cache/dlpkgfile (I did this by doing echo "update_package=/cache/dlpkgfile" >> /cache/recovery/command )

10. Power down the devices and power up using teh same volume down volume up technique as before

11. You should have Jellybean!
[Asus Transformer TF700] dbuc:
But for this you HAVE to root otherwise you can't create new folders or files in cache folder, right?
[Asus Transformer TF700] SayWhat10:
instead of flashing .30,couldint you just do factory reset? (if you already on .30 of course)

also, to get jellybean u just need the dlpkgfile file?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
That works too, but with this method you won't lose any data.
[Asus Transformer TF700] SayWhat10:
oh ok, because i was going to factory reset once i sucuessfully installed JB too (heard thats recommened)
[Asus Transformer TF700] David522d:
My build.prop was messed up with and I was on .26, I factory reset,rooted,(not unlocked) and tried to install the update, It was going through but then it crashed with a red android ! mark in heart!

Whats going on?! How to do I get some jelly bean!
[Asus Transformer TF700] moah909:
oh, yeah I suppose you do, ill change that in a sec

nope, factory reset doesn't magically reinstall the missing apks and undo build.prop changes, all it does is wipe /data which returns it back to "factory mode" meaning theres no data on it, it doesnt do anything with /system
[Asus Transformer TF700] dbuc:
Has anyone a REAL work-around?
[Asus Transformer TF700] garrettl:
If you're having issues upgrading, make sure:

you have a stock /system/build.prop

all the ASUS stock apks are intact (not frozen, not moved, not removed)

undo the smart dimmer disable in cpu*.sh

Basically, undo the changes you may have done in the "Some tweaks to sweeten your life with the Infinity a little" thread.

(#2 & #3 got me personally. I undid those and the install completed successfully!)
[Asus Transformer TF700] dbuc:
But all the above three are only applicable to rooted users right?
[Asus Transformer TF700] william tanaya:
okay... my problem is, how to get an update? because after i failed the first update(showing the red triangle), I couldn't find an update again. no matter what i did. i tried cleaning CM/DM Client, did factory reset as well. no luck....
[Asus Transformer TF700] dbuc:
You are not alone, I am having the exact same issue, first update failed and then no matter what I do I can not find the update again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] R0CKSTAR3N3RGY:
Hey guys, finally got my TF700 to update after failing a number of times. Here's my solution:

1. Do the usual, clear data for CMclient and DMclient. (make sure nothing is frozen)

2. Make sure your build.prop is stock, if not redownload it or reflash .30 firmware.

3. Download dlpkgfile.bin [This is for US SKU]

4. Move the dlpkgfile.bin to /cache.

5. Rename dlpkgfile.bin to dlpkgfile and set permissions to rw-r-r.

6. Download command

7.

Extract

the "command" file to /cache/recovery.

8. Set the file's permissions to rw-r-r.

9. Temp-unroot if you want to keep your root with OTA Root Keeper.

10. Power off.

11. Reboot holding power on and volume down.

12. At splash screen press power up to confirm recovery mode.

13. Update will install and take quite sometime.

14. Hopefully you are running Jelly Bean and happy!
[Asus Transformer TF700] David522d:
How do you clean Cm/DM client?
[Asus Transformer TF700] R0CKSTAR3N3RGY:
Go under applications in settings. In the all tab find CMclient, click on it, then press clear data. Same with DMclient.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bartleyg82:
This worked perfectly for me, thank you!

For anyone else interested, you can download the US version of the dlpkgfile here:

[Asus Transformer TF700] quarky42:
I had this same error, except it was on the CMClient.apk that I had restored with Titanium Backup. [edit] Now I need to see if I can dig the version of that APK up from .30 and manually load it back.

Edited: Titanium Backup was not at fault here. I was. After my upgrade to .30 I never went back and re-backed up the new .30 CMClient.apk. I thought I had. I remember doing it, but when I looked again before fixing it, I see it is .26. My bad.

[Asus Transformer TF700] quarky42:
I found information about extracting files from ASUS blob files.

I took the .30 update, extracted it, extracted it again so I was left with the large "blob" file.

I ran the blobunpack from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1666984

and then I took the blob.app and ran it through this app: ext2read

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/files/latest/download

Aparrently the blob.app is a "img" file in ext4 format. ext2read is able to read it and from there you can save files. This gave me what I needed to restore the right version of CMClient.apk and .odex
[Asus Transformer TF700] jehu111:
should I be removing the .30 update from the sd card after I complete this step 5? I did not, and I think when I went into recovery for the 2nd time i just re-installed the firmware again ( it went through the update procedure, lost my root and still 4.03) ??

when i remove it I get a message saying it failed to open: /sdcard/ASUS_BUNDLE.zip, then failed to open: /sdcard/ep201_768sdupdate.zip not found".
[Asus Transformer TF700] william tanaya:
well. maybe you should. idk tho.. i didn't put SD card after i recovered the .30 update
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
Finally on Jelly Bean! My issue was that I had uninstalled the bloatware. After reflashing .30 from the website, I was able to update to JB using the dlpkgfile. Restored root with Root Keeper. Even if you still have bloatware, give it a shot! It was the only thing that worked for me!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jehu111:
FINALLY. thanks so much! It worked once i removed the sd card from the tablet. I never would have thought of this since the card is just always in the tablet.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Nikos2k:
I installed JB but when it boots, it gets stuck to the page with the asus logo

When I reboot into recovery (volume down + power button), there are four icons

What are my options?

If i select "Wipe Data", will it perform factory reset and the firmware will still be there so that I can boot?

Or it will erase everything and will have to find a way to flash a firmware?

[Asus Transformer TF700] Lucky Duck:
Wipe Data will put it at factory settings, which means it will be like when you unboxed it, complete with firmware. It will also wipe your internal sdcard. So if you have any titanium backups or music, back it up on a different card.
