androg421 · Apr 26, 2012

Currently on stock .17 with root and CWM.

What is the best method to get back stock recovery?

TF101 Model is C10.

At least you're back in action. ... Rule of thumb. Never attempt an OTA with CWM installed.

Agreed and thanks! Only issue i've run into is the OTA update is consistantly popping up and interfering with my activities, telling me i have to update! It gave me a few chances to install it and no longer is giving me any chances, so now i have to hit the home or back button to get rid of the screen, which just brings it back up again minutes later! Cant postpone it anymore... I had to flash another ROM to get it working properly again.. ugg.. Oh well, i'd rather have a custom ROM anyway!

They said 12-16 hours for the tf101 i get 18-23 hours off a single charge if im out for the weekend and have to conserve battery (granted weekend at home constant gamming etc i get 8 hours tops ).

Plus if you read other reviews it does have a slower rate of drain in the pinion of most of the reviews compared to the prime.

Im not saying its amazing battery life its not bad and once rooted could have the same battery life as the tf101.

It is a good tablet for a good price yeah there is better available but if I had to upgrade now that would be top 3 in my list.

You claimed it had better battery life than the Prime. That was clearly wrong. Whatever you do to drag out battery life on the TF300, you could do on the Prime too. My point stands; the TF300 is much less than a Prime with a different screen.

Yeah but let's be honest it is a good tab and alot of my other points still stand the prime had issues still does at least this tab seems a bit less rushed with fewer draw backs than the prime GPS,WI-FI etc

Has anyone actually received a WW version of the .21 update?

I think this patch has cured the rr &SOD on mine, but the gmail app problems are worse than ever..force closes and freezes constantly. I'm now having to use gmail in the chrome browser as a workaround once the gmail app stops functioning.

Honestly, I would stay away from any Asus product until the issues with the TF101 are fixed. Even if it works right now, you may find yourself in the same situation six months down the road; saddled with an update that is fundamentally flawed, and provided with no way to downgrade back to a properly working release more than a month after Asus made it clear they were aware of the scope of the problem.

Asus France (which is way more responsive than their English counterparts) have posted that the update will be deployed today - the post is dated from yesterday (25th)

For those who speak it:

Bonjour à toute la communauté Transformer,
une nouvelle mise à jour version 9-2-1-21 pour le TF101 sera disponible demain. Elle va permettre d'améliorer:
- la stabilité du systeme
- la stabilité de l'appli Email
- l'appli AppBackup
- la stabilitéde MyLibrary
- le support XiFi Direct
- le support du dezippage via le gestionnaire de fichier
- l'ajout d'une fonction de restauration des onglet sur le navigateur Internet.
N'hesitez pas à nous indiquer si cette mise à jour a reglé ou non les problèmes de ceux qui en recnontrent encore. Nous remonterons les inforamtions à nos ingénieurs. Merci !

But of course, people are already up in arms about why this hasn't been pushed already.

Problem with update

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and I'd like to ask a question regarding the following problem:
I've TF101 with stock ICS 4.0.3 rooted with CWM 5.5.0.4,
today I saw that there is a firmware update available from ASUS 9.2.1.21 and decided to install it.
I made a backup with CWM and then ran OTA ROOT Keeper to backup my root, then ran the update. My tablet has been restarted and stucked at CWM menu screen.
I tried to make a restore but after it finished and I choose the option in CWM "reboot system now" the tablet has been restarted and entered again in CWM menu.
Please HELP !!!

Couple of things. You are new so, we'll give you that but there are a few things wrong here.

First you cannot receive the OTA with a custome recovery like CWM. You'll need to go the the Epic Noob Guide and check out how to install the Stock Recovery.

Second, you used OTA Rootkeeper. Good job with that bc with the ICS .21 they closed the exploit to allow Root access, so you lose root, it is gone (for now) unless you are NVflash-able.

Third, CWM 5.5.0.4 is an bad recovery and will throw you into a recovery loop, which you are in now. There is a fix for it either in the General or Q&A section. It has since been fixed but since you are in the middle of utter chaos, you'll need to read that thread to find out how. It's OP is updated frequently, so there shoudl be no problem.

Good Luck.

Well, I've been running .21 since Monday night and it seems to have cured my SoD. However, I woke up this morning to find my tab in a bootloop - first time I've ever seen that

. Had to hold down the power button to get it out of the loop. Let's hope they have a 4.0.4 build in the pipe.

Lucky Armpit · Apr 27, 2012

I spoke to soon. Almost exactly 48 hours after applying the update, I just had my first random reboot. It was stuck on the boot screen.

No, but I just cleared data in the app and let it re-sync. Hopefully that will help.

CheyenneDonna · Apr 27, 2012

Three days after the latest update I had a random reboot-stuck on the spinning circle. Slightly better since I was having them 2 or 3 times a day. But the battery life has gone down and My Library app still does not work - freezes every time I open it. Stock rom for me.

zamboniman87 · Apr 27, 2012

Note... if you want root, then root and use voodoo ota rootkeeper BEFORE upgrading to .21. Right now there is no way to root a completely unrooted transformer with .21 installed.

I updated (already having been rooted) and was having more stuck screens and reboots than ever. So today I wiped everything and installed .21 unrooted. Now I can root... I can't even downgrade because I don't have a custom recovery anymore either. Arg....

oh, I believe this only applies to the later transformers - ones with a higher BXX number. Otherwise nvflash can be used for the lower ones..

transformer update!
