If you place the update on the root of the microSD you should be able to just unmount/remove it then re insert it and have the update triangle show up within a few seconds of it remounting.

ON A SIDE NOTE:

For those that may need to do a reinstall for whatever reason of the 10.6.1.8 and don't want to do a complete wipe/factory reset you can download the 10.6.1.8 update for your pad (US, WW, etc) from the asus site unzip once and then rename the EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip to XX_epad-user-10.4.2.20.zip (where XX is your locale. US, WW, etc) and place on the root of your microSD unmount/remove and reinsert to get the update on your screen as stated above. It will think that it is an available downgrade and tell you that it will wipe data, but in my case it didn't so i can imagine that it won't for everyone else.

I did this to try and fix the bluetooth issue for my tablet. Although it did fix the permissions for the problem child file it still wasn't 100% (would switch on but not actually on) so I ended up having to downgrade and then reinstall the ota. Now it is 100% working, but I have sadly lost root so i won't be able to supply any more dlpgkfile's to the community. I plan on unlocking in june when my warranty is up.

Although my bluetooth is working I have not been able to get my PS3 dualshock 3 controller to be recognized/listed in the available devices and get it working wirelessly. It works when pluged in to the usb (although the mapping seems to have changed). I tried to reset the controller and also clear the bluetooth share data to no avail. :( Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

There also seems to be a bug in which when the tablet is docked to the keyboard and closed for some time to go to sleep etc. when you open it back up and wake it up the SD in the dock is no longer available until you disconnect and reconnect the dock. This has only happened to me twice so far.
[Transformer TF300T General] teedoe:
I am in the same positon as you, but I am not sure if there is any hazard to upgrading the way you stated. To be safe I plan on doing what nick1313 did in post 227 of this thread.

Good luck.
[Transformer TF300T General] Jonbest:
I may wait a while before trying anything. I don't mind losing root but I also don't want to have to wipe the tablet. This isn't an issue if I could update and root as I use titanium backup. Hopefully it won't be long before we know the best way of doing this.....
[Transformer TF300T General] teedoe:
Update

I went ahead and updated to 4.2. I was on 4.1.1 - build - 10.4.2.13, Unlocked & Rooted with TWRP Recovery.

I took the same approach as Nick1313 did earlier in this thread but I will recap, the original guide is here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1938129).

1. Downloaded 10.4.2.20 from Asus

2. Unzipped once to get the file "US_epad-user-10.4.4.16.zip"

3. Placed that on my internal SD with USB connection, then unplugged and shut down.

4. Booted into recovery, hold volume down and power on button.

5. choose wipe data.

6. Let it wipe then it rebooted into setup. (I noticed I could update from here using the system update but I did not) I instead shut down the tablet.

7. Booted into Recovery

8. Choose RCK

9. Installed "US_epad-user-10.4.4.16.zip"

10. Then did System Reboot

11. Once it rebooted and rebuilt (took a while) it prompted me for setup of email etc.

12. Downloaded the latest file from ASUS, unzipped once and renamed it to "US_epad-user-10.6.1.8.zip "

13. Placed that on my internal SD with USB connection and removed the earlier file.

14. Went to System Updates and installed from within the OS. I had a notification right away

Everything went well and I did not have any issues, Thanks to everyone here for all the info.
[Transformer TF300T General] Jonbest:
Good job :)

I'm assuming this removed TWRP and root from your device?

Also did you do any kind of app backup or are you starting from scratch?

Just curious but is the renaming of the file necessary? Seems strange that Asus do not have it named correctly..............
[Transformer TF300T General] teedoe:
I actually did not check to see if I still have TWRP or Root, probably not. I was starting from scratch so I was not concerned. I will double check when I get home and give you an update.
[Transformer TF300T General] jordanmw:
Classic Asus... give you features in one update, then take them away with the next. Anyone else notice features that are missing since the update?
[Transformer TF300T General] cr4zy.b0y:
I notice an overall improvement, but I have a bug: my clock rarely freezes in the notification bar( funny thing is that it shows the right time in the widget and lockscreen).

Maybe in the next update we'll have a bug free transformer :)

Can someone do a cold boot after update?
[Transformer TF300T General] teedoe:
UPDATE:

[Transformer TF300T General] Jonbest:
Cheers, I expected as much. I actually took the plunge and did the same as you last night the only difference being I used the WW firmware. All worked fine :)

I also tried using that Carbon backup to try and restore the apps etc but unfortunately that didn't work. Other than that the tablet seems nice and fast and i've found no bugs so far........:good:
[Transformer TF300T General] xaueious:
4.2.1 is spitting out a lot of crap in adb. It looks like ASUS rushed this update.

Press volume down + power key on boot up....you get the fastboot with 3 icons....use volume down button to select the android icon....now press volume UP button.....and wait......it cold boots

I was assuming that as well and was hoping, but apparently not. Oh well. Just have to wait until asus drops the update on their site.
[Transformer TF300T General] mibikin:
I just have one more question. If I right now return back to stock, when the OTA is on the ASUS site, can I download the new one and update without a wipe?
[Transformer TF300T General] monsterduc1000:
My tablet is untouched like yours and I am finding the update is INCEDIBLE!!! Web browsing (which was my biggest gripe) went from decent to Very Fast on Chrome and made Dolphin and Boat Browsers quicker as well, but their video playback still sucks compared to Chrome.

Graphics intensive games that used to stutter a bit like Nova 3 and NFS: Most Wanted are quite a bit better, but not quite buttery smooth.

Overall, I am very happy with this update :D
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
If you're unlocked, you won't get the ota update. You'll need to wait until Asus posts the ROM on their site.
[Transformer TF300T General] nick1313:
No matter what you do, you will have to wipe data, I think.

This is the easiest guide I have found to follow. Literally took my 5 minutes to do it all today. I've used that guide every time I have updated my tablet.

Obviously that link is for the tf700, but it works with the tf300 too, just make sure you get the appropriate files. ;)

Can someone post a system dump?
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
Probably best to wait a little bit anyway. It gives a chance for ota people to give feedback about it. I hope there are no partition updates that would mess up people like me that are unlocked, use recovery, and fancy flashing in root :)

nvflash and root

nvflash available? After days of research, I had decided to unlock my tablet and root it today. Now, I am not sure what to do with this OTA update coming out today. Guess I should at least wait to see if nvflash is available. My question is tho.. if it isnt available should i root my current version of 10.4.2.20. Would the OTA update to andriod 4.2.1 change the current rooting process?

If you unlocked you won't get the update ota. You'll need to flash it via recovery or put the zip on your primary storage once Asus posts it.

Well mine's bricked after this. It applied the update as usual and rebooted, and it's been stuck at the Asus logo since. I've tried everything I can think of so I guess it's going in for service. It was stock too, so I know it was a bad flash. Ironically, if I violated the warranty and unlocked this thing, as I've done with every other device I've owned, I wouldn't be in this mess. Thanks Asus...

bluetooth failure after OTA update

Ater updating today, my bluetooth has failed. I move the slider from off to on and it bounces back to off. Asus tech support made me do a wipe, but the problem is still there. They want me to send in the tablet for repair, but I am rooted and do not want to lose root.

Any help appreciated.
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
I think it's safe to say you shouldn't take this update unless you can backup your previous setup and restore if all goes wrong.
[Transformer TF300T General] NeoMatrixJR:
The irony is that most backups require root, which requires unlock, which means you're not going to get the update....

I finally broke down and applied it. Of note, if anyone's interested...my bootloader is still version "1.00 e" but now instead of:

RCK | Android | USB | Wipe Data

It goes straight into USB download mode and still shows:

RCK | Android | Wipe Data...

I wonder if they changed anything else?
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
I wonder if fastboot will work now without unlocking since that is what usb mode has been used for in the past. It could mean there is no reason to unlock to root on JB. Anyone care to try fastboot?

I am pretty much a noob at this but I have my TF300T Unlocked and Rooted running build V10.4.2.13. My question is once ASUS posts the newest build for JB 4.2 on their site (currently they have V10.4.2.20 up) can I install it even though I am one build back 10.4.2.13?

Can't confirm if mylibrary is still working since I don't get OTA updates, but...

See if uninstalling the updates for mylibrary help (if there are any) and re-wipe app data and reboot.

Best case scenario: It works

Worst case: You get her to use a real app like Aldiko, MoonReader+, or Coolreader.

Personally I've tried them all, and I love moon reader the most. I can honestly say it's the best 4.99 I ever spent on the app store.

[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
Fastboot only became available when you unlocked prior to this update. With this update if you automatically go into fastboot from the bootloader menu when locked it may be of use to many to root JB without unlocking.

Nvflash may be another option but I suspect even if available changes in nvflash files need to be made to account for the partition changes that JB created.

If you are locked you can just place on your internal sdcard (/sdcard) and watch for the update triangle in notifications. You may need to allow your tablet to sleep first or power off and back on. Someone else may have better information.

Thanks for this

For anyone with a locked tf300t and have changes to the root file system or anything in /system, don't do the OTA update until you fix anything you have changed.....the OTA will fail, the OTA file in /cache will be deleted, and the OTA's will stop. I have tried clearing data and caches on various Asus apps to get it to restart the OTA with no luck. What kind of OS update system deletes the OTA file when a failure happens and then does not let you redo the update.....thats crazy! I'm going to copy this OTA file back into /cache to see if it will upgrade.

You can use fastboot to flash only if your bootloader is unlocked. If locked, you can still use it for stuff like to check devices but you can't flash anything.
