Has this update been only for the US versions so far or did anyone with a WW version got the update too?

I have a WW version and I have received the update.

I dont think 4.4 kk is hackable now. But, who knows.

By the way, Towleroot may push Asus to release the 4.4 update to work around the security flaw. So, let's hope some smart guys figure out a new way to hack the Android system then.

Did you try Towelroot v1?
[Asus Transformer TF701] jeroenpico:
I've downloaded the update from the Asus website, extracted the zip file and placed it on an SD card. Now my tablet recognized an update file, I clicked on update and I still get this poor droid lying on it's back with a red triangle...

Anybody any suggestions how I can update?
[Asus Transformer TF701] Neccie:
After my first OTA failed attempt I tried this and worked for me. Maybe there's a weird app blocking your update?

I want to keep my warranty for now :)

I'm going to try all 3 versions of towelroot but i think it's dead.

edit: after a few attempts it didn't work, even when trying to get temp root.
[Asus Transformer TF701] jeroenpico:
After failed OTA I allready did a factory reset. Just tried to update again after a factory reset, still no success...

Anybody any idea? Or do I have to send it back to Asus?

Fixed it!

Moved the update file to the internal storage instead of sd-card and it updated without a glitch! :cool:

New UI looks nice so far! :)

Does this require a completely stock rom, or will it work to flash direcly over rooted asus stock with edited system files? It takes about an hour to restore backups with my clockworkmod for some reason so just want to check :) I havent flashed any custom roms since my bootloader didnt update with the previous OTA

Very interesting when I tried to flash the Asus stock kitkat 4.4.2 rom.

I have unlocked, installed the CWM 6.0.5.0, and have the CROMi-X 6.1 installed.

Wanted to see how the stock rom looks and works, I downloaded both the US and WW version, unzipped the zip file in it, and tried to flash with CWM 6.0.5.0.

For both the US and WW version, CWM reported an error message telling this rom was for tf701 and mine was K00C, so it aborted.

I checked my model number and yes, it was K00C, so there is a TF701 model and a K00C model? :confused:
[Asus Transformer TF701] s.gana:
A question for anyone who has upgraded to 4.4 stock:

- were found bugs or problems with the 4.4?

- the management of SD, Micro SD, and USB. with stock file manager is good, usable or not?

You need stock recovery to flash stock ROM
[Asus Transformer TF701] Trevor_g:
That's right. If you're running CWM, you won't be able to flash a stock ROM without "Status 7" errors.

Let me know if you need a tutorial. Took me a couple of hours last night to figure out a workaround, but I'm up and running the latest stock build (although I lost root and CWM of course).
[Asus Transformer TF701] myeepad:
Oops, I thought I had downloaded the wrong file... :D

So please share with us how to do the workaround and get me up and running the stock build. I know Sbdags will come up his CROMi-X version 7 soon, so losing CWM and root for now is not problem.

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Tell me to save me time mate - although I'm going to test a bootload flasher now ;)

Also are you saying you can't flash the latest CWM 6.0.5.0 on the latest build?
[Asus Transformer TF701] pershoot:
You have 2 options:

Option 1:

1. http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3210 (4.3 US system/kernel CWM flashable)

2. Download 4.4.2 for your specific SKU from support.asus.com, unpack the .zip and put the resulting .zip on the root of a FAT32 formatted microSD card, named T4_SDUPDATE.zip

3. Boot the latest CWM (droidbasement)

4. Perform a wipe and install the 4.3 .zip (#1)

5. reboot to bootloader (if you use CWM to reboot select no to any questions asked (to root, etc.))

6. stick the microsd card in the slot

7. boot this recovery via fastboot (in root of folder): http://droidbasement.com/asus/tf701t/stock/

8. it will start the upgrade shortly.

Option 2:

1. http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3476 (4.4.2 US system/kernel CWM flashable)

2. Download 4.4.2 for your specific SKU from support.asus.com, unpack the .zip and put the resulting .zip on the root of a FAT32 formatted microSD card, named T4_SDUPDATE.zip

3. Boot the latest CWM (droidbasement)

4. Perform a wipe and install the 4.4.2 .zip (#1)

5. reboot to bootloader (if you use CWM to reboot select no to any questions asked (to root, etc.))

6. stick the microsd card in the slot

7. boot this recovery (in root of 4.4.2 folder): http://droidbasement.com/asus/tf701t/stock/4.4.2/

8. it will start the update of your bootloader/firmware shortly.

Note: On first boot of ASUS's 4.4.2, you will get a black screen while it loads (after the ASUS/Powered by Nvidia shows). Please be patient and wait until you get to the welcome screen (up to ~5 mins or so).
[Asus Transformer TF701] Trevor_g:
My pleasure... I just need to get to a PC (so I can verify the steps I took). It did involve editing an update_script in the "SDupdate" ROM Asus pushed out once (to fix bootloop issues after a botched OTA update)... but anyway, stay tuned.

Also - I haven't tried flashing CWM yet! So unsure of that yet (it was a late night!). ☺
[Asus Transformer TF701] widze:
Root

Hello,

My device is unlocked and I've just upgraded to 4.4.

Can I root my device like I did with JB 4.3 (fastboot boot zImage_dtb ramfs.img.gz) ?

Or do I have to wait a new method ?
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
I have just built a flashable zip that will update the device to the latest bootloader 11.4.1.17 and the latest CWM 6.0.5.0 all in one go :)

Works beautifully ;)

Now to build a nice base rom from asus stock - prerooted of course ;)
[Asus Transformer TF701] Ashrealms:
Update:

My Setup:

I don't have the keyboard dock at all, don't use auto-sync, GPS is OFF, always have wifi on, always have my email app running which checks mail every 10 minutes, and have set screen brightness at approximately 70%.

With 4.3 I could leave my tablet sleeping for at LEAST 8 hours usually closer to 10 before even losing 1% battery life. After I smoothly updated to 4.4.2 using just the OTA update the battery life while screen off seemed to be quite bad... so I went through the steps to cold boot, backup (only pics and video files), wipe*3, and re-download manually all my apps then cold boot again.

The Testing:

I charged the unit to 100%, unplugged, watched Netflix for a little over 3 hours and the battery was down to 70%.

That's roughly 10% power per hour while in 'normal' use.

I ended Netflix, ended all tasks other than my email app, left the unit sleeping for 5 hours and it was down to 30%.

That's roughly 8% power per hour while sleeping.

Checking the Battery stats in the settings showed the power consumpton of Screen at 39%, Android OS at 29%, followed by Wifi at 11% and Netflix at 8%.

The Results:

Nothing seems to have changed in the battery consumption. It's still quite

bad

.

This does not bode well for this OS change for me...
[Asus Transformer TF701] Alta1r:
Happened to me too, just had Android OS keeping my device awake and draining the battery.

Didn't have battery drain from last night to this morning thoug...

The new Asus keyboard seems to have different layouts in 4.4.2: while typing this reply I tried to swipe but my keyboard changed into a "thumb keyboard" (keyboard split in 2 parts close to the left and right borders so u can type with ur thumbs while holding the tablet). Will try to find out how I did it.

Edit: figured it out. You need to tap twice on the keyboard (left or right) and the slide to the center of the screen.

You can even move the keyboard up or down the screen.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Trevor_g:
I see that the mighty Pershoot has spoken... and beat me to it!

However, I'll include the below instructions as a 3rd option. It might be useful for people who do not have a MicroSD card handy and / or don't know how to fastboot a recovery.img.

==========

This tutorial is for those who are running CWM (custom recovery)... but who still want to give the latest stock firmware (KitKat) a whirl.

NOTE: you WILL lose both CWM and root!

NOTE: I'm unsure if this will work for US skus, but I believe it will. (This was tested on a WW sku tablet - I'm from Canada).

1. Download "WW_10_26_1_18_SDupdate.zip:" from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2554930. Extract it, and you'll end up with a file called "T4_SDUPDATE.zip".

2. Download 7-zip for PC (free software, and the best for working with zip files IMO). Using 7-zip, open that zip file and navigate to: /META-INF/com/google/android/

3. See the "updater-script" file? Right click on it, and hit edit. Delete the first couple of lines before the *first* semicolon. Now delete the semicolon also, and any blank lines you left. Hit save, and close the file.

4. 7-zip should prompt you to ensure you want to save changes to the archive. Hit yes.

5. Close 7-zip. Now, take that modified zip file and put it on your tablet (somewhere you can get at it with CWM).

6. Flash the zip with CWM (after taking a Nandroid if you want). Note that the progress bar may not work while it's flashing... but wait it out even if it looks like it's hung. After install, reboot. (If you still get "Status 7" errors and / or a failed installation, it's my guess that something went awry when you were editing the updater-script file.)

7. You are now running stock Jelly Bean, have a stock recovery installed and are ready to flash the latest firmware. So, download the latest firmware zip file and put on the root of internal SD.

8. You might get a notification saying it's found a new update file. Go for it! Or, reboot and wait a few minutes for it to see the file and offer to install.

Voila. I did this late last night, but as far as I know I didn't miss any steps up there. Corrections / clarifications are welcome.

Now we wait till Sbdags can work his magic and gift us with a nice, pre-rooted stock ROM or Cromi-X. :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Building the stock rom first - ;) Then we Cromify it later :D
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Not too sure about some of the UI colours lol. Here are some more screen shots and I have root ;)

New Lock screen though - I do like this!
[Asus Transformer TF701] myeepad:
I tried option #2 and it worked like a charm, now I beat Sbdags...

I have to try the Asus stock rom before he publishes his v7... LOL LOL..
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Stock ROM, Rooted with Bootloader and CWM!

For those of you who want a flashable version try this for now:

First flash the bootloader and CWM package which will get you on the 11.4.1.17 bootloader and CWM 6.0.5.0 (obviously you need a version of CWM to flash this). If you are on the stock recovery you will have to use fastboot to flash CWM (see dev thread)

Reboot once and then flash the stock rom. I have made a few changes to it ;) You can flash it over the top of 4.3 (stock), 4.4.3 (stock) or CROMi-X 6.1 without a wipe. If you are coming from CM11 you will need a full wipe first.

ChangeLog from sbdags:

•	Rom is pretty much Asus Odex but I removed the call home apps (CMClient and DMClient)

•	Rooted with Latest SuperSU binary, apk and daemon to give root access

•	Busybox installed

•	init.d shell script support in kernel and rom

•	unsecured stock kernel

•	Added ES File Explorer, Terminal App, and Titanium Backup to /system/app for easy restoring :)

There are no other mods – please don’t ask for theming, changes or performance boosts. Those will come with CROMi-X :)

I will do a proper thread tomorrow - getting late here now. :cool:

Since I am still a "new" user, I can't post in the development area. But.....looking forward to Cromi-X version of your rom, sbdags. Your Cromi-X rom is six times more stable for me than the stock Asus provided. :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] talion777:
For those who don't want to unlock but are just looking for root have any of you used any of the Towelroot versions with success on the new update?

So far for me the UI seems fine and the stock browser seems to have stopped the random crashing, which is good. Download took 10 minutes. No issues.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
A user on the Transformer Forum tried it for me. No luck with any of the current Towelroot versions..
[Asus Transformer TF701] myeepad:
You are such a bad guy, sbdags! I just spent an hour following the options listed here earlier to flash the stock rom, and now you have this?! You spoiled us badly...:victory:

Thank you for all these work and this community owes you big time for this..:good::laugh::laugh::good:
[Asus Transformer TF701] Devolution1x:
Yeah... 4.4.2 on TF701 is...different. But I like it so far.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Yeah! That baby blue is god-awful! LOL

And some notifications are really hard to read. I'm testing Xposed Deep Sleep battery module right now and you can't even see it's icons in the notification panel.....

But Chrome rocks on this version! Wow!

No problems dirty flashing over CROMi-X, btw.

Great job as always Darren!
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Anybody have an idea what "Boost" does in Quick Settings?

Is that the latest implementation of (useless) Asus task manager?

Geez it feels strange having all this garbage on your tablet! Omlet Chat! Really???

LOL
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
And I thought that I was going to do actual work at work today. Oh well I guess real work will have to wait :D

Thanks so much for your effort.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Trevor_g:
+1 on all that! Hangouts notifications are really hard to see. Otherwise, I seem to be getting some good / better battery life with this ROM.

In fact, for those getting worse battery life, perhaps it's worth trying a factory reset (and even manually installing your apps afterwards?). That's cleared up some problems for me in the past.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
The baby blue is horrible and I think they intended to let you change it but forgot to include that option.

In Display there is Personalize and then Use default Theme. When you click it is says it will use the default color overlay, so I would guess that you can change it. I can not figure out how so I am guessing they forgot to keep that part in there?!?
[Asus Transformer TF701] Ashrealms:
I did exactly that (as I explained in my last post) and still having a very very bad battery drain issue.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Have you tried Gsam Battery Monitor? The Asus battery stats are garbage.

I flashed sbdag's stock rooted 4.4.2 yesterday night and charged overnight.

Used it for an hour this morning and this is what I got from Settings > Battery

13% battery used in 1 hour. Of that:

76% WiFi (??????)

8% Android OS

6% Android System

Gsam gave me this for the same time period:

13% used

75% screen

8% Kernel

6.5% Android system

I then put the tablet to sleep for an hour and had 2% drain (dock attached).

Put it to sleep for another hour and had 0% drain.

ooops, forgot one little detail: I do have the Xposed Deep Sleep battery mod installed [emoji16][emoji15]

That MAY have a little influence.

But try Gsam. You don't need root for it.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Ashrealms:
I will try GSAM and post my result later today. Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
I've drained 3% in the last 8 hours. Seems normal to me - I have 216 apps installed and syncing on wifi turned on.

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 PM ----------

I had the same feeling - it's like other themes should be avail. I'll have a look and see if there are any obvious theme.xml files anywhere? :)

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

Try wakelock detector as well. It will show you apps that are stopping the device from sleeping.

It'll be an app - as said a clean install always nearly fixes these things - just a painful process to go through.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Ashrealms:
No wakelock detectors work with non-rooted KitKat that I am aware of...
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Ah forgot you are not rooted. Sorry.

Unlock and be done with it :p
[Asus Transformer TF701] Ashrealms:
GSAM report after unplugging with screen off for 36 minutes:

97.1% of the 5% battery loss from 'Apps'. Out of that:

73.3% used by Kernel (Android OS)

8.5% used by Android System

4.5% used by GSam Battery Monitor

2.9% used by System (ndroid.systemui)

Everything else is under 1% and none are any apps I have installed except the email which is 0.4%.

Still looks like the OS is the problem. Is there a way for me to RE-install the full OS using the Asus site firmware??
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Try a cold boot first but you shouldn't need to reinstall the rom (it'll do the same as what you have now)

Much better would be to do a factory reset to see if it happens after that - but that is very drastic as you will lose all apps and data although the asus backup program is very good at restoring the majority of stuff ;)

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------

Ack just realised that Asus seem to have removed the asus backup program.... Another thing to add back in for CROMi-X ;) Their book reader has gone as well.....
[Asus Transformer TF701] Ashrealms:
I did cold boot many times since the problem started and I have already done a factory reset 3 times in a row as suggested with OTA updates as I have already reported in my first post. Perhaps bad OS install is my guess, but how can I force a reinstall? Or is there a way to revert back to 4.3?
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Download the file from Asus, unzip and place that new zip on the root of the sdcard, reboot to bootloader and volume up on RCK. That should auto flash it
[Asus Transformer TF701] Ashrealms:
I will try that immediately. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

UPDATE:

After re-installing the FULL update battery life seems fixed! It's been only 30 minutes but here are the NEW battery results!

0% battery used!

Screen 52.7%

Wifi 16.9%

Apps 30.4%

Of the apps the usage NOW reports:

Kernel (Android OS) 16.6%

Android System 8.3%

GSam Battery Monitor 1.4%

Aquamail 1.0%

I will report back tomorrow but this is encouraging!

Also, has anyone noticed the captcha's on this forum are getting freakin unreadable? I had to refresh like 20 times to find one I could type out reliably!

[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:

That is a known issue for all Tegra 4 powered tablet. It is supposed to be a nice power saving feature. Try using reading mode for those apps.
[Asus Transformer TF701] ColdMist:
I've got the battery drain problem. It is all attributed to WiFi. I have it set to WIFI off when in sleep mode, but it still drains like 50% of the battery in 24 hours, with the tablet closed.

ART?

Just installed sbdag's rooted variant of the 4.4.2 release. After unlocking the developer options I saw that there was no option to change the runtime to ART. Did ASUS not include it with this release? Personally I liked ART soo....
[Asus Transformer TF701] Technojo:
I'm having battery problems too. It's been more than a week now that I've installed the update, it should have "stabilized" by now, but no, it seems that the battery is draining for some reasons. I did not mess around with my tablet, so I was not unlocked nor rooted when I did the update. I did a factory reset after (always do for updates, even small one!) and re-installed all my apps. I've been using the "Smart Saving" feature from Asus and turning off Wifi during the night, but as you can see from my screenshot, android OS drained the battery overnight (had to plug it in this morning).

Really, it is far from what I was getting from 4.3 and it is not really cool as I use my tablet as an alarm clock :( Not sure what to do next...:(

UPDATE: Found these recommendations from another board : Link
[Asus Transformer TF701] gg777:
I have also battery drain problem after latest update 4.4.2

I did reset to factory many times and I did reinstall the update but same problem.

My tablet still locked and unrooted.

I wish I go back to 4.3, if there is a way please let me know.
