JB Update file (for devs to verify)

[jgaf]

Ok guys I managed to identify a file in /root/cache that was downloaded when downloading the firmware straight from the tablet. The file is named "dlpkgfile" and its about 230Mbs, hopefully this can help some ppl. I don't recommend you use this file if you aren't a dev, since I don't know if it can do something bad to your tablet. I have no knowledge of this type of thing, just trying to give a helping hand....

Anyways I uploaded it to my dropbox, so please only devs download it for now I don't want to get a lot of traffic in my dropbox and be shutdown or something lol

My dropbox public link was taken down due to excessive traffic, there are a couple of mirrors around the thread.

I hope someone can verify this soon. I would love to be able to update since my Tablet failed the update :/

Isn't there a way to DL into my own dropbox from yours? That should (at least in my mind) not count as downloads right?

Either way I'm waiting for someone much braver than I to grab this and explain how to flash it. By that time I'm sure it'll be rehosted somewhere else

Just wait till it gets posted on Asus's site, that's what I'll be doing...

Pretty sure you can just rename it to *.zip and flash it through the recovery.

All the files from the folder patch need to lose their .p suffix and go in /system before you flash it.

It looks like it's the update file

Just wondering if this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668173 would still work to root.

Looks like an update.zip package with a blob inside. Should be recovery flashable...

Still recommend flashing over the latest ICS US base.

it does not flash you get status error 7

 

[tysj]

Probably just a buildprop error. What ROM did you try flashing from?

This should help ppl force the update coming from US firmware I think: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803090

You need almost an intact /system to flash this.

assert(file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "asus/US_epad/EeePad:4.0.3/IML74K/US_epad-9.4.3.30-20120604:user/release-keys" ||
file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "asus/US_epad/EeePad:4.1.1/JRO03C/US_epad-10.4.2.9-20120809:user/release-keys");
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "EeePad" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "EeePad");

This is a diff patch update.zip.

Whatever you do DO NOT flash the blob from the dlpkgfile on a WW tf300. This will leave you with an us bootloader and for some reason I can't seem boot into the recovery after flashing. And I cannot flash any blob because it says the blob has an invalid signature.

Pretty much stuck here right now... I think I'll have to wait until jb is on the asus website.

How did you flash the blob alone?

Which firmware did you come from?

Flashed the blob via fastboot (fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash boot blob) I didn't think it would flash a whole new bootloader. And I came from WW 9.4.3.30. I can't reflash the old bootloader because fastboot doesn't want to actually flash it even though it says everything went okay.

Well I think I'll be fine. I converted my WW to US 9.4.3.30 and am now flashing the dlpkgfile using the method I linked to.

I am not bootloader unlocked.

Quick glance at update-script seems to indicate that it shouldn't remove root from a rooted device running 9.4.3.30, but I'm not sure what's in the blob.

I hope so.

The blob contains a boot.img, recovery.img and bootloader.img.

I already have an US bootloader. I think converting from WW to US did that.

The update.zip does not change /system/bin/su
