I never rooted my tablet, but I found myself with a tablet that was not updating itself.

So, I've manually upgraded by flashing the entire 138 image, as summarized earlier by silver91342 at post 78, in this thread.

The process was successful and, soon after, I received my first update from ASUS via OverTheAirUpdates and more over time.

Now I'm at version 143 and I'm waiting for Lollipop :P as ASUS officially announced they will push it via OTA here > https://plus.google.com/+ASUS/posts/dmCFvkphdNe )

! Note that I have a memory card permanently inserted, but I can't confirm that you must have one in order to get updates (although it sounds reasonable/sensible)

! My tablet is still not rooted.

! Even thought I disabled some ASUS and non-ASUS apps (if allowed, of course) and I found that I still received updates
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patates:
Fyi, OTA are blocked by ASUS if they have already been installed on your tablet (my case).

So, if you were on a build 141 and you have flashed an image of the 138, Asus wont offer you updates anymore.

You can wipe data or clear cache of applications Frameworks, DM, CM ... it will never works. The solution I've found is to pretend a new MAC address because the ASUS servers are based on the MAC of your tablet for updates. You have to get a rooted tablet, then change the MAC temporarily with an app available on the Playstore and delete the DM cache and CM each time you attempt to update (Settings, Applications, All) We must change the last value of the MAC address: For example: Mac original A1: B2: C3: D4: E5: F6 changed to: A1: B2: C3: D4: E5: F7. If it does not work the first try, retry and change again the last value in the MAC staying as close to the original, so that the tablet will eventually be recognized as a tablet TF103C never received the famous update, eg: Change F6 in F7, F8, F9, G1 .... If you want to avoid annoy you with this method, send an email to ASUS and ask them to reactivate your OTA shelf by communicating your MAC but this can take time.

Hi guys,

I got this beauty for a couple days and managed to root it with zenfone app, and also have busybox installed, but first updated to 144. so im up to date and rooted. But tablet has only 8 gig of storage. Is there any method to extend it with sd, and let the app installed to there? I ve a 16 gig SD card, but after installed couple apps and games , there is no space on device. Any app2sd app could work? Im total newbie so any help would appreciated.

update:

managed to let apps go to sd

1,Installed NextApp SDfix

2, created ext2 partition on sd card

3, installed Link2sd (paid £1.49)

and my big apps can go to sd card :)

I tell it to forget my wifi network, then I turn off wifi, and the root fails.

I've tried erasing ADF and APD via fastboot then repeating the process above. No luck.

Is this still a valid method?

I'm sure I have a live cd somewhere around here so I can use nautilus.

edit:

Got it. Much time spent in many forums led me to a post on http://www.transformerforums.com/ that stated the BBY models do not come with the demo app that is required for the root exploit. I went to http://www.asus.com/microsite/demo/Demo2.1_content.htm and downloaded/installed the MG103 demo apps and calculator app (I hadn't noticed that the BBY doesnt even have a calculator ootb. weird ). I tried rooting again. Nothing. So I started the demo app by entering the trigger in the calculator (nene741603enen). The demo started, I closed it and ran RootZenFone. Success! I just rebooted and I have super su working perfectly. It looks like every model except the Best Buy bundle has everything necessary for root, but its all out there.

8gb space limit and external sdcard

[MENTION=1405079]Libi_79[/MENTION]:

I've been struggling with the 8gb limit for a while now, i tried different methods using XInternalSD and FolderMount. Although (i think) it works, i can install a lot more, but i always hit the limit when installing really large games. The storage section in the settings app always reports that there is not enough space left on the device. The 'progress bar' is filled halfway for a few seconds, then after recalculating, it's suddenly completely full!

Data and obb files do seem to end up in the right place on the external sdcard.

But when i try to install a game, which has to do a large download (2gb or so) it always comes back to me with the message 'no storage space left'.

Internal sdcard space seems to be bottleneck.

Sounds familiar?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Libi_79:
Never tried install too big apps , games. More than one gig is far too much. Only what i have on the Heroes III HD. But as I mentioned the post before. This app ( Link2SD) was the only app what's worked for me. And all my big apps linked to extSD all the files in SD but it's still working as a system partition. So never got message about not enough free space. But obviously any update gonna mess this up. But I think first all apps end up on internal space, that's mean it's limited size. :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjbouw:
I think that's exactly the problem. That's why i thought that making symbolic links with FolderMount would solve that problem, but no. Maybe temp downloads get downloaded into an internal folder somewhere? Maybe completely swap internal sd storage with external sd :p

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alf1978:
Just got the tf103c. But I am having trouble with rooting it through asuszenfoneblog. I tried to use the rootzenfone 1464, but I get the message "Warning: APD or ADF does not exist or not have the right to access". So I did some digging and tried the calculator demo from the asus demo microsite. I went through the demo app fix mentioned in the microsite and when I try the nene741603enen, I still get the "Warning: APD or ADF does not exist or not have the right to access".

So looks like my machine is not letting me access APD / ADF (whatever this is). I am just wondering if anyone can help me here. I have no idea what else to try at this point.

Here is the details of my build:

Hardware: k010

Board: baylake

Android Version: 4.4.2

API Level: 19

Bootloader: unknown

Build ID: WW-2.2.33.144

Java VM: Dalvik 1.6.0

Please let me know what I can do to root this and why I am getting the APD / ADF error.

Thanks.

This root method worked just fine

Hi,

I confirm that this root method worked just fine (having OS version: WW-2.2.33.144)

Does anyone know if "kernel samepage merging" or "z-ram" can be enabled on this tablet, with the orignal kernel?

L.E. I've managed to drastically improve memory (RAM) usage by enabling kernel samepage merging (saves me about 160-200 MB) and after choosing a "light" OOM killer (the default seems to be "aggressive", thus the apps frequently crash).

All this using Kernel Adiutor after rooting the tablet, of course.

Been hearing about too many people having to send it back to asus to get it fixed for motherboard problems or watever.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veverone:
Hi there... maybe something went wrong when you update it.

You all must re-flash the image.

There are a lot of instructions in this forum thread on exactly how to do this alongside with the images you need (the entire OS to flash it clean). Just scroll back a bit.

If you have any questions regarding what was already posted, something that is unclear... please ask :)

I hope you manage to solve the issues you have.

This tablet is great and since Lollipop was released, is even better (the battery drops ~2% each night, so... in 12 hours! amazing!).

I also used to think that I need to disable the Google Services to be able to use it, but ASUS implemented some great features in the latest release that manage these battery and CPU hogs.

It's great! I will definitely choose ASUS next time when I buy something.

I have not seen android 5.#.# so when did you get the lollipop update?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veverone:
Official images here > http://www.asus.com/Tablets/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF103C/HelpDesk_Download/

Note that you must have the latest KitKat version installed, before you should upgrade.

The upgrade procedure is as simple as:

* connect your tablet to your Windows PC and connect it as a storage device

* downloading the zip on the official ASUS page (make sure you download the right (international) image file, unless you live in Taiwan and you want the ASIAN version)

* un-zip the downloaded zip it into the root of the tablet internal storage (should produce another zip file)

* un-plug your tablet from the PC; you should see an "update detected" notification.
