On unlocked this method can brick device cos its "normal" ota update, so u need to dl .blop file form asus web and flash it via recovery.

It will work only on locked devices - rooted and unrooted (i think cos u dont need root to clear it so it is always r/w)

To the OP, what a guy!!!

For those having trouble with the missing /system/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so files,

I did a bit of googling and found that this is the video driver. If you have Chainfire3D installed, then it replaces the driver with an OpenGL one.

All I did was uninstall the driver from chainfire, wipe the data and cache for chainfire, uninstall it, then install the dlpkgfile as per original post.

Worked a treat :laugh:


Spent a whole 10 mins playing the Jelly Bean easter egg game in settings LOL

@cmouapilou
U need to wait for WW blop file or use US ffile. I read somewhere (xda or other site) that someone without any problem used US on WW, but I dont try it.

But this time my log gives me failure on /system/lib/libGLESv2.so

I am so sure I didn't touch my system files at all!

-____- I think I'm gonna give up on updating to JB... :'(

EDIT: Chainfire3D was the culprit!!! Thanks to post #25!!!
Now it updated successfully!!!! SO HAPPY!

Can you somehow revert all files to factory ones ? Or the only way is to revert any changed file one by one ?

thanks, Grand

post #25 explain it all...

But I can explain it again..
If you are using chainfire3D and installed different drivers, you'll have to uninstall them, which will result in reverting all drivers to default ones. Then uninstall chainfire3D and try to update again.. It should work!!

Hi WIIstpM, many thanks for quick response. However, I have never installed this app My failed log says my iptables file has changed - and yes, I have installed iptables app, because the stock rom doesn't enable me to connect to corporate proxy with authentication... That was the reason I rooted the device.
Anyways, I have removed this app, also I did reset to factory settings and it's still a no-go.

thanks, Grand

Hmmm maybe someone can provide you the default iptable files... Unfortunately I'm already on Jelly Bean so mines are updated...
Try to ask on some threads related to these kinds of problems (red triangle, etc).

Wish the best to you

I appreciate the wishes Thanks!

I have two more questions just so I understand it.

1. It is not possible, to extract the original files from the stock rom from ASUS website?
2. Can you somehow restore the stock rom entirely - even if that means you'll loose root ?

thanks in advance, Grand

p.s. If anyone could provide me with the stock IPTABLES file that would be AWESOME

Okay managed to fix mine.. the long version..

busybox screwed me over <technically i did it my self>, gzip didnt pass the hash check to verify its the same version, un installed still didn't work.

went to restore over the .30 version and couldn't get the USB icon on my boot screen, only wipe data and an android cold boot icon, so i tried running the one click unrooters, googling from another laptop of mine i found the wrong one first (of course i did doh it was mainly for people who are unlocked i think) this one its in the tf101 forum but it applies to ours also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681155 that one oddly seemed to do something odd not sure what but i THINK it may of properly reset my /system/bin and such directory's but i lost root and it didnt give me root??.. so i ran the other one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26918790 this one gave me root back. yay.

so got root, got my system/bin back to original got supersu and voodoo OTA.. temp unrooted it and applied the dlpkg file and command, and it installed okay.. went to go get root and lost root couldn't restore it with OTA (oops i screwed up again) no worries, looked in /usr and found the we-need-root binary and used adb to access it, gave my self UID0 via adb and re mounted the /system partition as read write copied /usr/we-need-root/we-need-root /sbin/su and boom had root back okay, tested it out with supersu and voodoo and root explorer and everything works rad.

YAY. JB plus root!

Give me a path for them, since I'm still on stock ICS, and I'll upload what you need.
