Hi all, I just got an Transformer Intel based TF103C. Turned it on and it received all the OTA updates. I noticed on the Asus website that there's two firmware updates. WW 144 then following that the Lollipop update. Both of these files are zipped and there isn't a zip file inside the first one. I confirmed this many times despite reading that there is a zip inside the zip. I followed several instructions on how to get this thing to update and it just won't. Putting the zipped (and unzipped) files on a sd card and going into recovery mode but there's no "update from sd card" there. Just the ADB file transfer. So I tried ADB sideload, that didn't work with the authentication error. I left the zipped (and unzipped) on the sd card and started the tablet and it didn't detect any software update as the ASUS site says it will. I have also tried as recommended by ASUS putting the files in the root folder and it should detect the update. Nothing has worked at all. I would love to update this to Lollipop but it doesn't look too good. I'm not sure how others were able to get this done. If anyone has had any recent success flashing this thing with the ASUS files from their webiste please let me in on the secret. Otherwise I guess I'll be stuck at Kitkat...

Did you root the device? If so, it won't detect the updates. Unroot it first.
Otherwise you can load the signed image from your laptop when connecting the tablet via usb. Instructions in my post below:

Hello!

Sorry for bringing this rather old topic back to life, but I need some help with the ASUS TF103CG Tablet of my mother in law.
The device is the model K018 with german keyboard layout and docking station.

Currently Android 4.4.2 is running on this device, and I'd like to have Android 5 on it (who won't ...).

When I am looking to the system properties the built-number is called: KVT49L.WW_epad-11.2.2.18-20141003

I managed to root the device (by using rootzenfone-1.4.6.8r.apk) and downloaded the firmware UL-K010-WW-12.10.5.11-user from the ASUS homepage.

I found at least three different ways how to install this firmware (SD card, root directory and via recovery), but none of them worked.
I am sure I made a mistake somehow, maybe I understood the one or the other step wrong from the english instructions because I am not a native speaker ...

May you please give me some support?
