I think no one mention this before, but this update is mainly prep for getting JB 4.2 out of the door soon.

Expect 4.2 in less than a week.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Peter Galbavy:
One pleasantly unexpected fix for me: Google Currents, the pop-down bar now stays down. Before the update it would flash down and back up max twice and then stay hidden until I used the menu icon in the bottom left. Now, tap the story being read and the bar pops down and stay down for a reasonable number of seconds.

This could be a side effect of the update (reset a cache or something) but whatever caused it, makes me a tiny bit happier.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pandaball:
Maybe the reason why this was never mentioned is because this is (very likely) bs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hepperz:
I thought it was just me!! That problem actually made me stop using currents so much and look at other alternatives.

Will try to get the update done tonight to see if it fixes this for sure (have the inlaws down so may not get a chance!)

Am I the only one who still has problems with the Android keyboard when typing fast with two hands? Some letters never appear.

I first noticed it when I upgraded to Jelly Bean.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hx4700 Killer:
The biggest problem I have with the keyboard is the fact that if I drag a finger at all while tapping I end up hosing up what I am typing. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
no, you're not. that's why i still use teh ICS keyboard.

Go to this thread, download the ICS keyboard apk from there and sideload it (install it from a file manager).

I am in the same boat - rooted and locked and unaware of any changes to internal memory. Have not frozen any apps or debloated. Did you ever get the update to work successfully? I have tried manual update with no luck. It tells me system update failed, error 22. Application not compatible with system ROM. Any experts out there have any advice? I don't want to do fdr and lose root.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TontonLud:
Same error here in France with WW sku...

Any advice ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
Have you checked the update log? I don't remember where the file is but in the JB update threads they talk about where yo find the file. Once you have that you can try to see where it failed along the way. You could aalso try reaching out to Asus to find out what that error means lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
No progress I'm afraid. Like you I have tried everything I can think of including downloads from different sources, using different cards, factory resets etc. I restored a couple of system files (direct from the .17 update file) I thought might be the cause of the problem. My /system now looks the same as in the official .17 update yet still I get that same error 22.

Someone said there is an update log somewhere but I can't find it :crying:.

About the only thing I am sure of is it's nothing to do with any data settings of mine since it fails after factory reset.

The only alterations to the system partition are associated with root. I have used both OTA Rootkeeper and SuperSU to hide and restore. I take it there are plenty of rooted people out there who have had successful updates?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Howell:
Source ? Nothing proves that... It's so easy to tell this kind of thing without prooving it...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BlueHawk:
Update completely broke for me. gapps and every process and app is broken by the update. rooted with SuperSU installed. Even a data reset didn't fix anything. Now got to research.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pandaball:
Iirc the recovery logs are in /cache/recovery. They are named last_log or something like that. Can't check now so not sure if my memory is accurate.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tsmt971@yahoo:
Updated successfully. It is a bit smoother. However, not big difference.

What i did:

- Unfreezed systems apps that were freezed before. I did not change anything from the internal storage so I did not to restore anything.

- Backup the root with OTARootkeeper, then temporarily unroot.

- Performed update. Let it finishes and boots completely.

- Restore root with OTARootKeeper. So I am root again.

- Freeze system apps that you don't want to use.

Good luck to you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
Many thanks. Found the log file though still none the wiser.

It seems to do OK until it compares SKU size and then gives the error:

I:dec_rule: 10 4 2 18 0

I:check SKU & version pass

The bit about the device being 512MB ROM but update 768MB has me foxed. Anyone any idea what could be causing this and how to fix it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LoganMcClay:
Hi everybody,

Same as BlueHawk, French TF201 with WW firmware, update got all along with no problems but when it ended, unable to open a single app.

Mine was also rooted with SuperSU, nothing modded/patched.

Tried factory reset from system menu and wipe from bootloader, still the same issue ; at every boot it generates again apps cache (like after a dalvik wipe) and not a single apps can be opened...

Any app that allows you to adjust CPU frequencies. I personally use kernel tuner.

Got a random reboot after the update. And the WiFi suddenly turned off and won't turn on? Anyone else?

Root is back with ota rootkeeper...

And wake up by the button on the dock doesn't work after reboot. Every reboot. Have to go into settings and turn it off then on before it works.. this was also before the update..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ClevaTreva:
One thing I note is that ...

As an ebay seller, I use the sold items page a lot, and since JB arrived, I went to the page, zoomed in and tried to check the checkboxes next to each listing, say, I wanted to leave feedback for. But it would lock up instead. Wait for 10 seconds before clicking the boxes, and it was OK. Now, I can zoom and start clicking. This behaviour is java related, so something must have happened to the browser handling of java. Stock browser, of course. I won't use Chrome until I can lock it into request desktop site mode. Still can't do that with Chrome, as far as I can see.

well, one of the changes is that the back camera does not work

update:

it seems that camera has a hardware problem, not related to.18 upgrade.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] casey225:
Did you also have problems with the JB update? I had to install the missing 3 files in /system/xbin to get it to work. I've made no system changes from that setup. Just wondering if there is something relating to that issue which is still problematic. I'm by no means an expert, but, if a FDR didn't work for you, I'm afraid we may be SOL. As soon as my warranty is up, I'm unlocking and going custom rom. I'm tired of this crap, it'll be a cold day before I buy another asus product again!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BlueHawk:
Ok. My system has been pretty much screwed by the ASUS update. I can't get the unlock tool to install - I get a segmentation fault for the adb install of the apk. I can get into fastboot but can't really get to anything from there. Any suggestions. Thanks ASUS. I guess I'll get the Samsung 10" tablet next if this is permanently f*cked by ASUS bar a return.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bergoulle:
were you unlocked before .18 update?

In my case, i pushed back a custom recovery, wiped and installed the update without issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] axepted:
Some apps and games have stopped working after the update..

My son loves the BusParking3D game and it doesn't work anymore.. get a FC..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BlueHawk:
Unfortunately I hadn't unlocked it but it's annoying that ASUS can't get their patches so they don't bork things completely. If they were going to overwrite stuff, they should have at least overwritten everything that would be needed for their new patch to work correctly. There's pretty much no superuser access with their update, but everything in the reset system does not work. They should actually get some of the devs here to do their patches because this current breakage really sucks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nhshah7:
Havr ypu tried to clear cache and data for it, or uninstall then reinstall?

Not to antagonize you but (unlock tool aside), from my experiences I've found that Asus updates generally work if you haven't modified your system. In my case, I modified things that when reset to stock made it work fine. Granted this tablet is still a year behind where it should be, there could still be things wwrong with your system not by your doing. Have you tried to download the update from asus and flash it fresh to reset everything back to stock?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djmcnz:
Are you saying you were unlocked and applied the update via a custom recovery? What update zip did you use?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] re1ic:
I'm unlocked and unrooted and have never had an issue with doing any of the updates via the memory card. it won't do OTA updates but I can just save them to my memory card and update them that way. This update was no different.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djmcnz:
You're using the stock recovery then? And did you just copy the update from your cache or use the one from the ASUS web site?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BlueHawk:
Fixed my problem by flashing the 10.4.2.18 blob but now I can't go back to an earlier (ICS) release and unlock (unlock tool fails on my installation so I assume that the JB installation breaks the tool). Still working out my options since I don't have root any more.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yue Gung:
I have the same problem here.

After the (WW) 10.4.2.18 OTA update of my rooted (but not unlocked) TF201 it starts with APP-Building on every startup and never comes through the Asus setup, because every process crashes immediately after startup.

I also used SuperSU (PRO) as Rootkeeper.

Could you expain more what you have done to solve that?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Triklon:
I have the same problem - every app force closes on startup, and on every startup, I get "android is upgrading your apps...". The only working thing is settings. This at least allows you to activate debugging mode and to access the tablet through adb.

I was able to restore root for a while:

adb shell

/system/usr/we-need-root/su-backup [that's vodoo OTA keeper's copy of su]

I was even able to remount /system:

mount -o remount,rw /system

chmod 06755 /system/xbin restored su there

However, after copying Superuser.apk to /system/app and restarting, I no longer have root. su (in /system/xbin) and su-backup (in /system/usr/we-need-root) are present and seem to have the proper permissions, but nothing happens :(.

The idea was to overwrite the system with the blob from the update following these instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622628

Problem is, the commands in No 3 in Method 3 did not work for me ("permission denied"). I cannot rename or delete /data/local/tmp and, therefore, cannot create a symlink to /dev/block/mmcblk0p4. Had I still root-access, I could do that...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BlueHawk:
I got the OTA for 10.4.2.18 from the ASUS web site (look for downloads for TF201 for Android). Extract the blob from the zip.

Boot the Prime in fastboot USB mode (Hold low volume and on-off button until it reboots, and then use low volume button to select the USB symbol, and then high volume button to activate it). Plug in the USB cable between the Prime and the PC.

Get the Android SDK and in the platform-tools sub-directory, and run the fastboot program.

fastboot.exe -i 0x0B05 flash system blob

blob is the name of the file from the OTA zip (literally). Use the full path to the blob file.

I actually don't have a Windows system, so for Linux it is more like this.

sudo ./fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] draftboy25:
I just want to share my experience: I also had the same problem. My prime (rooted, not unlocked) was running 10.4.2.17 (WW) then got the OTA for 10.4.2.18. The OTA got installed but all applications get crashing... I then tried a factory reset: didn't work. I then downloaded the 10.4.2.18 firmware (WW) from ASUS Web site, but was not able to flash the blob file as it was too large!?? (800Kb)... (was using

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob

)

Fortunately, I've been able to re-flash the 10.4.2.17(WW) using

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob

.

The prime re-started normally and all the applications worked! I then received the OTA notification for 10.4.2.18 that get properly installed this time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] predictablyerratic:
Please post your setup so we can start stringing together similarities.

Has anyone successfully updated that had to push the three missing files via ADB to receive JB?

How about people who had partial root after the JB update. In my case I had to do both. I am rooted but locked running voodoo OTA and the superuser app by chainsdd. I haven't tried to update yet because of the issues reported here. Hopefully we can figure out which setups are crashing and which are updating correctly.

Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] draftboy25:
My Prime is a french TF201 (WW Firmware). Before the update, It was rooted (not unlocked) and nothing modded or patched and had SuperSU installed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yue Gung:
I tried that with the 10.4.2.18 blob:

Could have been working, the only thing is, that ASUS only has WW_10.4.2.18 online and Google was not my friend this time, so i dont have the 10.4.2.17 blob ...

Has someone a working Link for the WW_epaduser_10_4_2_17UpdateLauncher.zip?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yue Gung:
Flashing the 10.4.2.17 solved the problem here too. Thanks very much. Next job is to get root back and unlock the bootloader and flash acustom recovery. Never had such problems with complete unlocked devices.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tsmt971@yahoo:
It is fantastic. So I would help us avoid suffering with failed OTA.

Hi

I just bought a 3rd party microUSB cable from ebay for $2. In outer material comparison it is better than my HTC stock cable. I did notice some differences in the microUSB pin though. Can some one please tell me if.this causes any issues in operating ? If you see the last image the female area for the actual connecting pin is slightly smaller than the stick cable's. Though if I gently connect it to my phone it does fit.

So aren't these things supposed to be standardize ? Why is the HTC pin different ?
[HTC Sensation] Actionx1:
Mind posting a link to we're you bought it from.

And how are they performing?

My wife always has issues with cables on her sensation, some end up fitting really loosely and fall out extremely easily. The last one I bought her was $20 and worked great, but is really beat up now, I need to get another one.

[HTC Sensation] rajdeeprath:
This $2 cable (including shipping) really performs well, I am in India so I got it from ebay.in. Amazingly it had a warranty also. I have used it 2-3 times now and. works quiet well with my HTC travel charger. I plan to get more of these if they come up on daily deals again.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
$20?!

Goodness gracious....the US Congress wouldn't even overspend like that. (Slight exageration. They would spent $400 on a USB cable)

Look at Monoprice.com. Enjoy the savings.

Don't hessitate to buy a cable there just because it's $1 instead of $20. The quality is not lacking. Monoprice just sells a cable that costs $0.50 to make for $1 for a 50 cent profit instead of selling a 50 cent cable for $20 to make a $19.50 profit.

I won't even get into the lunacy of $100 Monster Cables.
