[Transformer TF300T General] bads3ctor:
Here is how to restart the OTA if the above situation happens:

Copy the dlpkg file in the above post to /cache, renaming it to dlpkgfile. Make a file in /cache/recovery named "command" with this in it:

--update_package=/cache/dlpkgfile

Boot into recovery by holding volime down and power button....then when you see text....hit the volume up button....and the update will go.

1 more thing: Could someone please post their CMClient.apk and CMClient.odex files from .20....I lost mine and I tried to use them from a blob on Asus site but I still get a crc error on them when trying to restart my OTA update.
[Transformer TF300T General] monsterduc1000:
I have a lot of system apps disabled and my update went off without a hitch.
[Transformer TF300T General] NeoMatrixJR:
Mine turns on fine....
[Transformer TF300T General] kaos420:
ok so i am unlocked and rooted with twrp 2.4.3 installed. if i install this update. will i loose root? will the current o.c kernels still work? also will i loose twrp recovery? if so can i just push twrp again?

im already on th latest right before this. .20
[Transformer TF300T General] NRGZ28:
If anybody installed this update and managed to keep root access (via ota rootkeeper or whatever)... can you manually run this command "dd if=/Removable/MicroSD/blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4" and post the resulting "blob" file somewhere ? Would make updating the current ROMs for everyone else much easier.
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
Here is the CMClient Link!
[Transformer TF300T General] nick1313:
I am in the exact same spot and wondering the same things. I might just wait for the zip to drop from asus, as this is a work device and I'm not interested in bricking it. Already had one close encounter with that.

However if there is an easy way to do it, I might give it a shot.
[Transformer TF300T General] Keshukas:
I tinking you can do with fastboot flash recovery blob file

I heave don with version *.*.*.20
[Transformer TF300T General] hgoldner:
That's where I'm at. I've flashed dozens of ROMs, mods, bootloaders and recoveries on my phones and tablets, but the Transformer seems to be a little more temperamental and more easily bricked. I suppose that's the trade off for more accessible updates and source code. HTC and Archos never made this stuff easy, that's for sure.

I'll see what reports we get from others who are braver (and don't need their tablets to practice law) and then take the plunge. For now, perfectly content to have TWRP recovery, rooted, running the stock ROM.
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
It will not install without stock recovery in place. It could be flashed with twrp but will probably replace twrp with stock recovery (I haven't verified the blob has a recovery partition yet - things got very busy after the download was posted).

I have not flashed this update and at the moment I am unable to flash anything so obviously I can't tell you it is safe. I will probably be in this configuration for several more days. Sorry!

OK! The update blob does include recovery so you would loose twrp; beyond that I can't provide much. I'm still working with the update.
[Transformer TF300T General] nick1313:
Word! Same here.
[Transformer TF300T General] tbdawg:
Thanks. Is your tab rooted and if so were you rooted when you ran the update or did you temp unroot?
[Transformer TF300T General] bads3ctor:
Don't you mean:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/Removable/MicroSD/blob

Here is your blob: http://ubuntuone.com/5YiUCuhq8cviwPSR0tkQAg

It's >800mb but compressed down to a very small file.
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
Do not just flash the blob; If you are going to flash then append a zip extension and flash intact.

There are many, many other changes.

To verify copy to a new location and append the zip extension. Unzip and you will understand when you look through the zip.

I'm still not saying flash or not since I can't prove the outcome.
[Transformer TF300T General] tjk639:
I can't imagine it would be that detrimental for unlocked/rooted devices to use this. Based on the OP who has a rooted TF300 that now has 4.2 on it. He was able to maintain root via voodoo.

As long as we have root we should be able to readd the custom recoveries. At least I would think.
[Transformer TF300T General] NeoMatrixJR:
Fairly sure based on having flashed and seeing some differences in the bootloader that it has an updated bootloader too. if you flash this you MAY loose unlocked status.... I don't know for sure though...I'm 100% stock at the moment. Due to all the AAAAH BRICKED OHTEHNOES WTFBBQ?@!# reports I've seen I'm desperately waiting nvflash access before I bother unlocking/rooting/flashing. Kinda pissed me off that ASUS did this.... NVFlash is the REASON I chose a Tegra based tablet.... Worked wonders on the Viewsonic gTablet!
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
The md5 checksum is different between the bootloaders and recoverys so Asus didn't reuse the files from 10.4.2.20 (there is no PT(partition table) included in the blob so partitions should remain the same).
[Transformer TF300T General] tbdawg:
My tab isn't unlocked. Just stock rooted. I didn't do a temp unroot before flashing, but root restored fine. The only issue I have (or that i know about so far) is the Bluetooth quit working after the update. Which sucks because I use a Bluetooth headset and a PS3 controller.
[Transformer TF300T General] tjk639:
I thought you had to have an unlocked bootloader to achieve root on the TF300.
[Transformer TF300T General] NRGZ28:
You're right.. got that backwards for some stupid reason. Thank you

Something's wrong if it compressed down to that size. It shouldn't do that. I'll look into it....
[Transformer TF300T General] NRGZ28:
How about a back of the system partition made in your custom recovery ? That should be even better! The system partition doesn't contain any personal information, so should be safe :)
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
If you achieve root while on ICS and are lucky you can maintain it through updates to JB - you just can't(or couldn't) root JB unless unlocked.

The change in fastboot with this update may prove otherwise now.
[Transformer TF300T General] bads3ctor:
I'm locked and rooted so no custom recovery.
[Transformer TF300T General] R3Z4545:
for whoever has an unclocked TF300T

just wait asus is updating there site by tomorrow 4.2.1 will be up :good:
[Transformer TF300T General] nevarDeath:
I would love to help you out with this since I've enjoyed some of your roms over the years. I don't see a way to backup my system partition through cwm recovery. Since I'm unlocked and rooted, would using your aforementioned dd command be ok?
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
If you rooted on ICS then upgraded and restored root you don't. If you're on jb out of the box you do.
[Transformer TF300T General] chuko303:
INSTALLING AS I TYPE THIS! Cant wait!! This is great! Here in Colorado
[Transformer TF300T General] NRGZ28:
Well in cwm recovery simply make a backup (or nandroid) as some people call it. Then, go look in the backup folder of the sdcard (once you're booted back into the operating system) and you'll usually find a file called system.img. That would be the backup of the system partition. It should be several hundred megs in size :)
[Transformer TF300T General] beren28:
Anyway to do this if not rooted? I lost root a while back.
[Transformer TF300T General] tjk639:
Nice, I wish I would have rooted when I was on ICS.
[Transformer TF300T General] nevarDeath:
I'm glad I did this. It wouldn't backup in CWM. I didn't have enough space on my SD card for it and it wouldn't go to the internal SD card for some reason. I didn't *know* there wasn't enough space until I flashed TWRP and it showed me the different partitions and their size though. So I backed up just the system partition. It came out to ~625MB. I compressed it into a gz.tar file and it came out to ~404MB according to root explorer. Windows showed it as being ~79MB :confused: So I uploaded that here: https://www.box.com/s/jwb9kzqgpktvj8iz8rzb I'm going to go ahead and upload the whole thing to an ftp and PM you the link though just in case.

Update to 4.2.1

I have been trying to find this out myself. In all my reading I believe since we are unlocked we have to wait for the file to post to the ASUS site:

http://support.asus.com/download.as...300T&p=28&s=1&os=32&hashedid=8BmzkQ4yoz5WzBrW

I do not understand everyone has leaked ROM's but an official release and nothing? But, I cannot complain since I have no idea what or how they do this and I only benefit from their hours of work. Next week I am sure they will have this release turned inside out with original and/or modification.

Thanks everyone,

If you are talking about sharing the ota you will find that in post #68 - for me that is page 7.

Upate 4.2.1

Hello,

I have the dlp etc file but I can not do anything with it. I feel I am very computer literate and have been flashing phones etc for 10 years and many tablet Rom's. Starting with the TF101, TF201 etc and now TF300t

ODEN works great and alternate recoveries etc but, I cannot understand this dlp update process. What I meant is the update file that ASUS will post. I am unlocked on the 4.1.1 build. Not rooted anymore after the switch back from a 4.2.2 JB ROM.

Thank you for any advise,

norm883
[Transformer TF300T General] nick1313:
Did it work out for you?

---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 AM ----------

Have you been able to flash it yet? You are unlocked and rooted right?
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
nick1313 has stepped up to help with your issue.

I'd like to give some general info about our tablet you may not have.

The problems do not fall to the devs; they are great! Asus has done everything possible to block our use of nvflash (apx) (similar to oden). We petitioned to get ability to unlock but then they went out of their way to block access to nvflash (apx) and were successful.

There is now a petition to to gain access to nvflash (apx).

The devs here can only work with what they have available and have done an outstanding job considering the limitations applied by Asus.

Good Luck!

I should have mentioned the number of times someone has stepped in to help with issues in this thread alone. XDA is great and the people here are happy to help and do so daily.

Kudos to everyone on XDA!!!

Update 4.2.1

Nick,

I am unlocked but not rooted anymore. I am on ASUS 4.1.1 and original recovery.

I just need to know how to apply the dlp file which is as clear as mud in my reading.

I will work on rooting and TWRP again

== Part 2 - Upgrade to Jellybean ==

This will upgrade your tablet to Jellybean (Android 4.1.1)

1) Download the necessary files:

- dlpkgfile: Jellybean OTA update Rename this file to dlpkgfile

- command: command.zip (Extract this zip before copying to your tablet)

2) Copy both files to your MicroSD card or internal storage

3) Open root explorer or another file explorer with root acces

4) Copy dlpkgfile to /cache folder and the file command to /cache/recovery

5) Now you need to reboot your tablet, this will start the installation of the Jellybean update

6) Wait untill the update is finished and now you have Jellybean on your tablet

norm883
[Transformer TF300T General] nick1313:
LOL...I did? I'm not even sure how to do it. lol

Sorry man...I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I've been reading like crazy and haven't really found anything "clear" on the steps to do it. I've seen that people have been successful but just not clear on how.

Which is why I'll just wait for the file to drop on asus site and follow this guide to flash it.

I've had one near brick experience doing just this, updating to newer version, so I'm not real interested in another. That guide I linked has been gold for me.
[Transformer TF300T General] chanhny:
Now my TF300T is 4.1.1 us with unlocked bootloader and can't see OTA update from asus.

I download OTA file 4.2.1.

But can not push file into /cache/dlpkgfile. Because my TF300 is unroot.

If I rooted by CWM recovery or TWP recovery. booth of them cannot run dlpkgfile. I knew only stock recovery can run dlpkgfile.

How I get root without install CWM or TWP recovery?.

Or Can I get stock JB recovery of asus?.

Help me! Plz!.
[Transformer TF300T General] NRGZ28:
That's great. I downloaded it and unpacked it.. It seems to be old JRO03C.US update though. Are you sure you have the new 4.2.1 update installed ?
[Transformer TF300T General] dilfatx:
I received the update and the bootloader is unlocked. I canceled the update to not lose root, I'm going to see a ROM on the Dev section with ROM based on this update soon.
[Transformer TF300T General] R3Z4545:
hmm you're bootloader must not be unlocked
[Transformer TF300T General] dilfatx:
It is unlocked, I have been running custom roms for sometime. When I boot up it says on top left that the bootloader is unlocked. I was surpassed to received the update as I remember reading that by unlocked I should not be getting any more official support from Asus.

Alright so I've been lurking through all the posts and I'm still confused.

I've soft bricked one Asus already and don't want that to happen again so how am I to go about getting this update? I've loaded the firmware onto the micro sd did the unzip and placed the zipped file into the card and still no notification of an update,., currently on 4.1. I any help or a walk through would be nice.

Thank you.

[Transformer TF300T General] vap_66:
That's what the guys who got the US OTA said. I'm also disappointed with the fact.
[Transformer TF300T General] tbdawg:
As far as I know you can't downgrade, at least not without unlocking. In which case you'll lose your warranty. Which if this update messed up the Bluetooth module you'll be SOL.

Unfortunately, since that last post I have lost at least partial root. Started having issues with some apps not gaining root access busybox says I still have root, but doesn't work. I can access most system folders, but no write access. Ota rootkeeper still has a backup, but doesn't show the restore root option. I checked the su file in system/xbin and it is the same as the one in the backup. It just looks like the permissions got changed. I'm gonna try to fix root later via the PC.

Prior to this I pulled all the files I could find for Bluetooth installed on the tablet to compare to the new ones in the ota update file. All the ones I could readily check matched hashes. The only ones I couldn't check were the one from the patch folder (don't know how to decompress them). I did try to reinstall the Bluetooth.apk with no success. Wouldn't install.

If I can't get root restored, and continue to work towards restoring Bluetooth, I'll most likely just wipe it and see what happens.
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
I can't say about the 4.2 update since I can't get it installed but normally I can take any version of jb firmware, unzip once and place on my internal sdcard. Reboot and get an update notification, accept update and it will update or downgrade depending on the version I'm currently on.

I can't say there would be no issues encountered if you used this process with the 4.2 update.

Obviously you need stock recovery for this to work. No cwm or twrp!

Good Luck!
[Transformer TF300T General] donniele:
OK, my device is rooted but not unlocked. Think I root it while on ICS and kept root with VooDoo ever since. Anyway, I've my bluetooth on JB 4.2.1 now. Here's what I did:

Downgraded back to jb 4.1 ver 10.4.2.20.

Check and verify bluetooth working.

Factory reset.

Left bluetooth on.

Re-install jb 4.2.1 OTA.

I hope this help.
[Transformer TF300T General] NRGZ28:
It's because you need a gyroscope for photosphere.. Not a lot of devices have that.
[Transformer TF300T General] tbdawg:
Were you able to maintain root after the factory reset?
[Transformer TF300T General] vap_66:
But the TF300T has a gyroscope so it's not a technical issue.

I finally got fastboot to push the 4.1 firmware. I don't know why it wasn't working before...I thought the eMMC went bad and that caused the update to go haywire.

LOL...Not to mention that's not even the latest update, however 1st level CSR so no real big surprise they don't know anything. Problem is those people work there because it's a J-O-B, not because they like the products. My guess is that better than 80% of them don't even own an Asus product, let alone a TF tablet. ;)
