Default [GUIDE] TF300 Blob Files, US/WW/TW Updated 5-25-2012

Since Asus pulled the files off the web site, here they are. Use these files at your own risk. I'm not responsible for bricked devices, nuclear wars or spilled milk.

Since the .29/.26 firmware is available on the ASUS site, http://www.asus.com/Tablet/Transform...300T/#download, I see no need to host those. The .17 is whats needed for root but only if you do NOT want to unlock your device.

US Files:
.17 https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B1R...Dl3SlZaVldoVms

DE Files:
.17 https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B1R...VpCbGVCM0dDREk
WW users can use this to downgrade, root, but root isn't sticking for most people when they take the OTA to .26 and .29. Thanks to mr.niceguy76 for finding this file.

DE Convert to WW File:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B1R...zJZd2ctN3hWVFU
DE only-Use this first then use WW file.

Please note that if you manually update to .26/.29 you will lose root.

US and WW,
To downgrade from .26/.29 to .17 use method 2 in the guide found here. Make sure to thank wolf849.

For users that choose to unlock and install a custom recovery, the above information is obsolete. You now have the ability to flash the blob from ASUS (the second zip file in the download) "not the actual blob itself" in recovery and then flash the root package. This is much more convenient but voids your warranty.

Sorry for the noob question but how do we manually update with the blob file?

I've been trying to pull the OTA update for a week with no luck.

Hi BierLiebHaber,
Did you used US blob for downgrade and root?
I thought from a test, that with a US blob there is no OTA working?
Using the DE .17 blob, gives me headaches because OTA wipes my VooDoo RootKeeper backup :(
Sofar I found no way to root.
Cheers
Peter

I'm uploading WW .26 and TW .26 files. I will post as soon as they are done. According to Asus, DE will use the the WW file. There is a convert file on the Asus website. I still don't have WW/TW .17 files.

Has anyone from outside of the US managed to root their device and apply the OTA update?

I still had all my apps installed and setting after downgrade.


I also used the tweaks and oc and now I have sometimes flickering over my screen, even if oc is off.
