i've seen great improvements in opening apps, particularly Chrome, and some apps, that would previously come up with the 'not responding' thing when syncing don't do it anymore. Loving it so far, nice one Asus.

Hi All,

Here is the dlpkgfile for the new update incase anyone wants it ;)

https://www.dropbox.com/s/5fhcpxp4l7f7ylf/dlpkgfile.zip


EDIT: I've just installed it and so far I'm impressed.
Restored root easily, and everything seems a bit more stable.

Also, I don't have the clock problem that other people are mentioning.

How did you install that? I tried using the method in the guide in this section (putting the dlp not the zipped one) file in /cache, and putting "command" file in /cache/recovery, and that command file reads:
--update_package=/cache/dlpkgfile
So seemed pretty logical to me. I rebooted, but nothing happened. the dlp file is still there, but the command file is gone.

Hi,

Mine installed fine without failing from the OTA prompt. I just thought I'd upload the dlpkgfile to help ppl out that cant update.

When the first JB update came out mine failed, and I followed this guide and managed to update it with the last update file that someone posted.

Follow the steps here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1853145 and use the dlkpgfile that I uploaded.

Let me know how you get on.

EDIT: Make sure you unfreeze any system apps using TB and restore the stock build.prop file.

Followed exactly as stated, no joy. I never updated the prop file, so no issue there, and the only frozen app is that which is offered through ASUS settings, which is to disable PC Sync, no other apps frozen.

Only part I didn't do was boot into recovery, so I did that, but I have CWM touch 6013 for recovery...when that popped up, it had an extra "invalid command argument" statement at the bottom that it doesn't normally have, assuming that was because of the command file. The command file in your post contained the same command as the one in the guide in the general section, so that seems to be in order. It just won't happen. Wonder what I'm missing.

Oh, and I guess I should ask the obvious, is your dlpkgfile the US version? Because that's what I'm running.

I apologise, I should have stated, the one I uploaded is the WW version.

Hopefully someone else will upload the US version before they apply it.

OK that answered my last one. Hope that's what was stopping me, thanks.

Got notification on rooted stock with modified build.prop. Replaced with original build.prop, did update and restored root with voodoo, no problem. So far seems quite similar to previous version, both of which had minimal issues. Heroes Call is still not working :(

I don't know if I'm just imagining this, but it feels a lot more snappier, portrait mode seems a lot faster than the first JB FW.

install went fine, re-installed ClockworkMod touch 6.0.1.3 via fastboot no

    Got a an update today for my US tf300. It failed like it always does since I'm root and now I can't redownload or try to install again, like it always does.

    So for the ones who get the ota, please upload the file! It should be in /Cache

    It will be a few days before a full flash is out.


    Want proof? I can show a screenshot but it doesn't say anything besides an update is out. I couldn't get the date in the screenshot. Just take my word for it.

    Side note: clearing cache and data for the dm and cm client does not work if an ota fails at install. Stop telling people it does.

    Yes, I also received the OTA update, right now. At the first sight, no difference. But using it you will see some improvements, I hope. I'm playing with it just half an hour, but I've noticed at least one change for good: the streaming internet TV works well again. I can see the motion picture in SPB TV app that broadcasted only voice after the first JB update.

    But the MyLibrary remained buggy :( It shows the cover pages of the books, but when I open one, the app closes itself...

    By the way, the update must be an incremental one (not full ROM), because it was downloaded very quickly, 1-2 minutes.

    Anyway I'm glad that the repair OTA came quite soon! Let's try it heavily to see what changed and what not and gather our experience here!

    Finding after JB update

    Got the JB update OTA today. I'm on the ww-version, stock, not rooted.
    First impression: smooth running - found bug, though. The clock showing in the down right corner is not updating correctly; updates once every 10-15 minutes. System clock is and lock screen clock are OK, so it's a sw issue with this update (at least on mine). It worked as it should before the update. Did a cold boot and factory reset routine, even though the factory reset should not be necessary.

    Cheers

    The clock issue is actually worse on my tablet than above described: the down right clock and the clock showing when opening the "dialogue box" are showing different times. The down right clock hasn't updated for 1/2 hr now and the clock within the "box" hasn't updated for an hour. To me this is a serious error - have reported it to Asus via their website.
