Nice, it would be

sick

if we got that 4.2 update sometime this week! :laugh: :cyclops: :D I really wanna show this tablet off to some of my friends with ipads, but I'm not trying to embarrass myself because of all these little bugs and browser force closing :( haha
[Asus Transformer TF700] DROIDESP:
I do not understand how Asus gets away with releasing updates with no release notes. Frustrating.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jimbob_sf:
Were there any firmware updates to radios, keyboard, or other stuff like that? That's the only reason I install stock images.

Thanks!

Can anyone please upload the /cache/dlpkgfile from this update?
[Asus Transformer TF700] macaumen:
Can anyone share the dlpkgfile for US version????

Can we get a flashable zip too. I'm unlocked so cant get OTA. TIA.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The dlpkgfile is a flashable ZIP.
[Asus Transformer TF700] aznmode:
flashable via TWRP? I normally put dlpkgfile in the cache folder to update but never flashed it via recovery. Can you show me how to do this? I'd rather go this route if its possible.
[Asus Transformer TF700] adelancker:
As long as the bootloader isn't touched, you could just wait for a couple of days and install some new CleanRom ;)

As you are already unlocked, that ought to be no problem.
[Asus Transformer TF700] aznmode:
That was my alternative to wait for CROMI update but that might be a while and wanted to update asap. Just being impatient....
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I never actually tried it myself, but the format is identical and I don't see why it should not work - remember that it's in both cases your recovery that flashes the ZIP.

To make it available in the recovery's file selector, just add a ".zip" file extension.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MarkAndroid:
Black line spot and flickering resolved! Good update. Thanks Asus

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
If anyone can post the dlpkgfile file I could build the update to CROMI faster. It's stored in the cache partition before you update I believe.

is this confirmed? or just your observation?

i hope your right because those damn flickering black lines really bug the crap out of me LOL

I'm on JB .16 rom...why i don't receive any OTA? I don't unlock only rooted
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Maybe you just have to wait a bit longer (which SKU? WW? US? other?) ... and remember to save /cache/dlpkgfile before you apply the upgrade and upload it somewhere, it can be helpful for all who need to downgrade to ICS to root and then upgrade again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
You haven't received JB.23, so I don't expect you to get .25 automatically. Some thing with your OS prevented you from OTA update, make sure you didn't freeze or deleted any system apps(like CM or DM client apk or modified your build.props in anyway. Also try to temp unroot your device and go into settings ->about tablet-> and hit the "check for update" option.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
I manually checked for an update, it said there was none available, then 30 seconds later throws a popup saying a new update was available.

I ***DID NOT*** temp unroot- not required. I made sure that superuser app ***AND*** VooDoo had a backup, applied update, let it boot, and then used VooDoo to restore su, then verified in superuser by forcing it to update the su binary.

First notes: System seems a lot faster, I'm getting no lags on swiping and opening app drawer. I have B2R installed, so that takes care of the browser, but I'll disable it and see how much of a difference the new system makes.

Screenshot of current system:

Navigating to the screen shot folder using the gallery button in TapaTalk HD Beta was a *lot faster as well.

However, just last night I experienced a random reboot followed by a black screen - took several attempts at powering the device off before it rebooted normally. Time to take this C5O in for an overhaul - hopefully to a C9O :D

I'm going to make ASUS replace both this and the dock, which seems to want to come apart on its own - I thought it was poor build but the one on display in my local BB doesn't do it.

Probably RMA it (or them, if they agree about the dock) once I get back on the mainland.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jimbob_sf:
In case anyone's wondering.... based on the screen shot above, the firmware versions on the devices listed haven't changed since .23. I've got a keyboard too. All the same release #.
[Asus Transformer TF700] xRevilatioNx:
Anyone know what's exactly in the 4.2 when it rolls out?
[Asus Transformer TF700] myeepad:
I am now rooted, unlocked, running TRWP and flashed CROMI 3.1 which is the best ROM ever.

But in case I want to try this new ROM fix from Asus, e.g. the latest 10.4.4.25, can I just download the firmware from Asus when it is available, flash the unzipped zip file with TRWP and test it out? If I don't like it, I can just flash back the CROMI, right?

Any precautions before I do that?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Best recommendation is wait for the new release of Cleanrom build on .25 version. By the time Asus release the full .25 full firmware version, within a day or two we should have the new cleanrom. If someone post the dlpkgfile (upgrade file) before a person proceed with the upgrade, sdbags can create the new CROMI even faster. So the different is only one or 2 days from the time Asus release the firmware, It's not worth to try. I'm sure the Asus new firmware will NOT be faster than the new Cleanrom build on .25 release.

Polaris Office

Hi everyone.

Titanium backup says Polaris Office is updated with this ota.

Confirm ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
It is.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Just applied the update. And yes as mentioned OTA Rootkeeper holds things fine if you Temp Unroot before applying the update.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jordanmw:
Could it be... have not seen a black line since the update. Waiting to hear if other users are seeing it still. This has been an issue on all tf700s that I have seen since the update to JB. So far, it looks good.
[Asus Transformer TF700] adelancker:
If that's true, it would be the next best thing to rocking 4.2 ;)

I've heard others saying they haven't had the black lines anymore either, so I guess it's really something of the past!

That'd be so awesome!
[Asus Transformer TF700] moobieboobie:
If we're referring to the black lines that flicker here and there. Then yeah, I still got them after the update. Feels a little snappier, but nothing ground breaking.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jordanmw:
REALLY?!?! Crap... still have not had any of my users report them and I have been looking very carefully at the 3 that I have here. Have not seen it for myself yet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
A user has suggested to do this to see if black lines are gone or not:

"Think the black lines are gone? Run the Blackhole live wallpaper...you might get to see them again like I do. You don't have to install it just pick it and then watch."
[Asus Transformer TF700] aznmode:
Do you have force gpu checked? Can you disable it and see if it goes away. I actually find the tablet better with it unchecked too. Seems more stutter with certain apps with it checked like Facebook and Google +
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
A small research result about this update:

The bootloader (from US dlpkgfile) is identical since 10.4.4.18 (except version number and build date), so any bootloader from 10.4.4.18 to 10.4.4.25 should be compatible with any JB-based custom ROM.

Does anyone have the WW dlpkgfile?

Also, bigger dlpkgfiles (which upgrade from earlier versions directly to 10.4.4.25) could be useful to users with locked tablets who use the "downgrade-to-ICS" method for rooting.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
+1, thanks for the info!

Can someone give me a quick run down on how to install the 25 update using TWRP please?

edit: I have a stock .23 rom unlocked with TWRP
[Asus Transformer TF700] Dave L:
You are correct. Just set the black hole wallpaper and sure enough after a few moments the dreaded black line start flickering.

Strangely it only seems to happen in landscape. Didn't happen in portrait at all.

black lines on the screen

dear colleagues, to be honest, since the upgrade to JB the black lines flickering on the screen appeared. with regards to all the improvements made with JB, a bad optical perception is a NoGo. so unless this is solved some day, I will remain with ICS. after deleting tons of unnecessary apps and with an enhanced SD card buffer the TF700T is as quick and reliable as it should be. and there are no mysterious black lines...

[Asus Transformer TF700] matroxnl:
Don't know what's in this update, but my wifi has deteriorated. Two stripes where i used to have full reception.

The problem with slow rebuild of the screen when I turn my device is still there. I wonder if asus is even aware of it. Mailed them about it but got no reply (yet).

For the rest I didn't notice any differences.

I'm a bit disappointed where still not on 4.2. It looks like another minor update that doesn't solve the issues that frustrate me most.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Not sure what you mean by slow rebuild of the screen. I certainly don't have this with the Asus stock launcher. Wifi is also fine. Time for a wipe maybe?
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
If you want to brag to your Ipad friends you should really unlock and flash CROMI 3.1with Browser2Ram. It will blow them all away.

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
No, in Android, mounted as /data (and /system) and formatted ext4.

I know that many people have no problems with these cards, but they didn't work reliably in my tablet, especially in scenarios like Data2SD. I got hangs (of processes writing to the card) after few minutes and I/O errors in dmesg.

I merged the new kernel with the CleanROM ramdisk and it's currently installed on my tablet (see dev thread if you want it too) - will try more demanding microSD operations this evening if I have time.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Ahhh, in a D2SD scenario. I'm still locked, so cannot do that now. Maybe I will in the future.

Root lost after upgrade.

I might have done something wrong, but after voodoo ota rootkeeper backup,temp unroot and upgrade I have lost root. What to do now? Go back ICS and start all over again!?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Try redownload OTA root keeper and superuser again see if you got lucky, if not working,YES you need to go back to ICS.
[Asus Transformer TF700] vmacs:
Unfortunetely it didn't work. Is it possible to downgrade to US 9.4.5.30 from WW10.4.4.25 Firmware?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I don't see why not, should work fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] joshbgosh10592:
I'm glad it was resolved for you lol. I never saw the line flicker until I updated.. Only saw it once so far (updated a few minutes ago), and doing a cold boot once I hit send. I haven't noticed the flicker anymore though! :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] louiscar:
Anyone know the solution to this?

Mine is doing the same thing. The thing is unusable. I've not had this problem with any of the previous OTAs. I'm rooted but not unlocked.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Seems the OTA may corrupted your system, the best way is probably reflash Asus full firmware, if you are rooted, you need to flash back ICS.30 to do root again then upgrade. If you don't care about root, just reflash full lastest firmware. You should be thinking about "unlocking" your device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] louiscar:
It's a little difficult to do anything when everything force closes on you. I have noticed though that a few of the Asus apps work. Things like the camera (nice and useful), the inbuild file manager which may help me get out of this.

I didn't want to unlock because of the warranty. I might have to return the machine because I've got a small problem with the 'n' key which doesn't register every now and then unless pressed hard. Asus have said to return it and I am still pondering that one.

As for root I would like to retain it so maybe I'll try to go back to .30 perhaps.

Is it worth trying to reflash .25 and which method should I use?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
re flash a full Asus .25 will fixed your issue, but you will lose root.
[Asus Transformer TF700] louiscar:
Ok, I went back to ICS and then did the OTA to see if it would work and it did so now I'm in the process of going back to ICS, rooting and about to do the OTA. Keeping fingers crossed that it's not something to do with being rooted.

Update: Phew ! It worked, so I guess your assessment was correct, there must have been some corruption the first time around
[Asus Transformer TF700] z3r0-c001:
Just did the update... unfortunately the BLACK FLICKERING Line is still there ... I really hope guys in ASUS will fix this, its a little disturbing !
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I have honestly never seen this line. How and when does it appear?

Do you have Asus customised enable smart backlight adjuster turned off?
[Asus Transformer TF700] hx4700 Killer:
I have yet to either but I remember reading once about specific circumstances under which it is seen. I DO have the auto brightness enabled.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes I use auto brightness as well but not Asus' auto dimmer thingy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Darnell_Chat_TN:
The so-called "black line issue" is so FAINT and only occurs with a good amount of frequency with certain apps. Most people never notice it. And once you do happen to notice, you'll probably be shocked that there are complaints here about it at all. Open your mail app and type a page, you'll probably see a black line flicker on the bottom of the screen now and then. That's it, the thing that is moaned about as if it debilitates usage of the device, is nothing but a small flicker in some apps. It's probably just some apps can't handle the high resolution screen well. But it's really no big deal. In fact, given that's the big complaint, we're doing very good.
[Asus Transformer TF700] goodintentions:
I've seen the black line once. That's it. But from the compaints on here, you'd think the black lines are 5 inches wide and make the tablet explode or something.

I'm pretty sure it's an app issue with the high resolution. Either that or it's a driver issue. Either way, I've noticed it once and that was after really really looking for it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] xRevilatioNx:
I don't have the black lines.
[Asus Transformer TF700] krispy521:
A really easy and sure way to see the black lines is to put on the spinning galaxy live wallpaper. For some reason that wallpaper makes the black lines go crazy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jordanmw:
Really hate it when people try to minimize that issue.... thanks for sending the message that it is a minor issue that people are okay with. IT IS NOT OKAY to have a device that costs this much having driver issues at this late stage of development. This is not a new device and it is not a new issue. FIX IT ASUS!

Even if some people think graphics corruption is okay with a high res tablet... IT IS NOT OKAY.

I support many of these tablets and hear about this issue all the time. I am asked about when they will fix it and have nothing to tell them. To some it is a minor annoyance but to others, it is a reason to go get an iPad and return their infinity.

not sure what your intentions are "goodintentions" but they are anything but good.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jayace:
I notice the black line flicker when reading in the Kindle app.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Yes, if you really look for it, you're going to find it. Mine is showned when I watch stream video from yahoo website (using stock browser). The black line flickering a few seconds before the video started, but once the video started, it went away. It doesn't happen all the time, just once in a while, easily missed by many!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Darnell_Chat_TN:
The faint black line flickering that occurs with some apps is a minor issue. People are struggling to even notice it. Matters such as the I/O performance are much more important issues. Many of the tricks being used by Devs here can be used by Asus to better address that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jordanmw:
Given, the I/O issue should be high on their priority list but it is just as minor as the black lines to some users. Just depends how you use your tablet. The black lines drive some of my users crazy, others don't even notice. Same way with the I/O issue, some notice, some don't- and claim that they have never really seen any slowdown and the performance is acceptable. Just depends on how the tablet is used and the sensitivity of the user to the issue.

At least the I/O can actually be improved with some methods from devs here.... as far as I know NOBODY has been able to get rid of the black lines after the JB upgrade.

Since I support a number of these tablets, I can say that I hear about the black lines from users much more often than complaints of slowness, crashing, hesitation, or slow operations.

We'll have to agree to disagree.

Since there are apps where black lines don't appear and many of us can watch a whole movie and not see any during the movie once it's up and running a moment. What makes you so certain this is a matter Asus could resolve? Are you willing to accept it's very possible that the issue is with some apps supporting the Infinity screen?
[Asus Transformer TF700] awilson77584:
micro sd card not mounting after update

It may be a coincidence, but my previously working sd card does not mount now after the update. I had it out copying new movies to it while running the update. It is now recognized as inserted, but it doesn't mount now. Any similar or related experiences? Any thoughts?

Thx!
[Asus Transformer TF700] vatvedt:
Had OTA Root keeper with backup of root. Updated to the latest firmware, and restored root. Worked great. Did not temp unroot either. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jordanmw:
I have seen the lines from native apps that come with the TF700... have seen it in the browser, gmail, polaris, supernote, even seen it in the home screen with built in wallpapers being used.

Asus is responsible for working with nvidia to get the tegra 3 drivers that they use in firmware. This is an issue that will only be resolved by a joint effort between nvidia and Asus. Asus is ultimately responsible.

It is not related to the apps... if I can do a factory reset and see them before loading ANY other apps... would you agree that it is not the apps?

I have spoken with Tien from Asus on several occasions and he is aware of the issue... each update that is released he claims will fix the issue. Still seeing it after full factory reset on a totally stock device.

AS I SAID.. FIX IT ASUS!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Darnell_Chat_TN:
If Asus has made a commitment on the issue, they accepted responsibility.

Still it's a VERY minor issue for me. If they can get me 4.2 and some I/O tweaks without fixing black lines this quarter, I'll be just fine :) .

Looks like the Nexus 7 also has the black lines issue. (And they didn't get a fix in their 4.2 update either.) So it does show a consistency across devices made by Asus.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
For me it's also a very minor issue, but still one that should not appear on a high end tablet.

You want that awful two-bar 4.2 UI on a 10" tablet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] kanewangkw:
I've temp unrooted the tablet before the update, now after the update I've got all the FC error popping out on my screen like the problem a lot of people have experienced before on one of the previous update.
[Asus Transformer TF700] louiscar:
I totally agree with your stance. I notice this mainly on bright background applications such as the browser. It happens often enough (once every 20 secs or so) for it to be annoying and it shouldn't be the subject of dismissals.. This wasn't a cheap machine, I could have 3 Nexus for the price I paid for it and such issues should not be there to ruin the user experience.

It is also an addressable issue since it began with JB, which means that it's likely to be a software issue. I never saw this before the update from ICS.

As of .25 nothing has changed for me and since I don't watch movies on my device I can't comment on whether it existed or is solved for those.
