My device was rooted, the OTA update showed up, I tried to update and got the dead Android device error, after that it wouldn't detect the update anymore so I tried the alternative of downloading it and running it off of my MicroSD card, unfortunately I only have a 64GB version (formatted FAT32) and though it would detect the update file it would fail during the install.

Just tried a 16GB MicroSD and it worked perfectly right out of the gate.
Figured it might be useful information for anyone else out there trying to do the manual update and having it fail when using a 64GB MicroSD card.

--Septurious

im in same position, have dead android device error
but im using a 16gb class 2 card, and still get the pic of android with its stomach open

i was rooted, but used temp root,and am still locked

can anybody advise how to do manual update as this option seems to be failing me?

Ich installiere grade das US Update auf meinem WW TF700 !!!
Das bedeutet wenn endlich JB für US rauskommt dann können wir das auch manuell installieren ohne ROOT!
so fertig installiert alles Sauber !!!! Tja habe jetzt zwar eine US-Version also werde ich auch nur noch US Ota Updates kriegen, aber es lief alles ohne ROOT oder WIPE ab Hammer!

habe einfach nur die XDA anleitung benutzt plus die ota update datei die ein User auf Dropbox geladen hatte
1. Decompress downloaded .zip file (it will be another .zip)
2. Rename it to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip
3. Format FAT32 the MicroSD card that you will be using for the update process
4. Copy the file to (the root directory of) your MicroSD
5. Insert it into the tablet
6. Shutdown (power off) the tablet
7. Power it on by pressing and holding VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons simultaneously
8. When you see white text in the top left corner of the screen, release the buttons ^^ and press VOLUME UP button until you see Android logo and process bar
9. Wait patiently for 10 minutes or so
10. Enjoy!

hoffe für alle Update willigen die es nicht erwarten konnten wie ich geholfen zu haben

Firmware update failure

I got a notification today that new firmware is available. I went on to install it. However, it failed and after restarting the device, I cannot see it anymore in the OTA settings.
Could this be because I removed CMClient.apk ?

I got the WW update just five minutes ago

Same story for me - WW firmware, got notice, tried to update, then it failed (possibly because of /system modifications), now it doesn't show up, which makes me wonder how the OTA updates are managed, as they are supposed to come in batches based on IMEI.

I just got it as well, but before I install it, I'd like to save the file(s) necessary for others to do offline update. I have found the /cache/dlpkgfile and saved it, but was wondering if there are other files that need to be saved before I apply the update.

Anyone?

Yes, that should be it. If you could upload it, that would be very helpful. I've tried looking there after it failed, as I forgot it reboots without asking (I haven't done it for a while), so too late..

Here's why mine failed:

Verifying current system...
failed to stat "/system/app/CMClient.apk": No such file or directory
file "/system/app/CMClient.apk" doesn't have any of expected sha1 sums; checking cache
failed to stat "/cache/saved.file": No such file or directory
failed to load cache file
script aborted: assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/CMClient.apk",

BTW, as the scripts tries to run this command:

Code:

Command: "recovery" "--update_package=/cache/dlpkgfile"

I wonder if it could work without dd or booting into recovery, let's find out when we have the blob.

I saw someone else has uploaded his copy, so I began updating my TF700. If needed, I have the backup stored on my SD card.

Seems there should be a command file in /cache/recovery/ with it.
(doesn't work as a flashable .zip for me; I still need to recover some deleted .apks from /system/app)

Edit: It seems command file is a text file which should just read:
--update_package=/cache/dlpkgfile

Kalipok · Sep 20, 2012

Oops ! The OTA update failed ! I guess I should have unfrost those systems apps after all... And maybe recovered the original build.prop file too

Anyway ! How do we find out why the update failed ? Is there any hidden log file somewhere ?

d14b0ll0s · Sep 20, 2012

Yes, there is one in /cache/recovery/
In my case it was both missing apks in /system/app/ and non-stock build.prop. Just recover these and copy dlpkgfile and recovery/command to /cache/, then boot into recovery (it deletes these files every time, so in case it fails remember to copy it again before restart, it will save you some time).

BTW, RL Benchmark gives me 87-98 instead of ~60 sec, this is disappointing so far (cfq scheduler).

Vippo321 · Sep 20, 2012

Mine also crashed during update. I have deleted some preinstalled apps from asus and I have rooted device. But the worst thing is I don´t know how to recover those missing apps, omg.
Sorry I didn´t saw the post above, so I take a try. thx

Kalipok · Sep 20, 2012

Thank you ! :good:
The build.prop file is guilty ! I'll try what you told me later... Again : Thanks :good:

Edit : it worked perfectly !

d14b0ll0s · Sep 20, 2012

Have a look at

It seems SQLite indexing has to adjust, now after a few runs it's far better (ca. 60, both deadline and cfq)

Finally I got OTA before I could download it. Great!

misiek_to_ja · Sep 20, 2012

Hi guys,

If you are rooted and you disabled Asus Device Tracker and/or put some tweaks to build.prop in order to perform .30 OTA you need to do the steps mentioned in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31813130&postcount=25. It worked flawlessly for me.

amaury48 · Sep 21, 2012

I have the ASUS original .30 US OTA that was posted on the website if needed......
