Saw this update on the website last night as I went to download the unlocker app.

Stock, locked, and not rooted yet. Waiting to learn more about NVFlash before I do all that craziness this time around.

I have a noob question about kernel.

So I tried rooting my TF300T a few weeks ago by installing the Asus app from the Play Store. It worked, but I haven't done anything more than this.

I downloaded the firmware from Asus website, put it on my SD card and then after a minute the table told me there was an update. I did it, it installed, it worked. (Have to do it that way since it won't update OTA anymore)

Should the kernel be automaticly installed too?

When I go in the "About" menu, the kernel version says :
3.1.10-00003-gb0003ba

Pretty much the same before the update.

That's the new kernel, it was installed automatically.
No problems with movies here (tried 720p mkv, avi and one recorded with the tablet - played them with stock player and MX player).

Well, I hope that Asus will keep the current interface, I really don't want to feel like using a 10" phone. Another thing I noticed after this OTA is that NFS Most Wanted now appears as incompatible with the TF300T and disappeared from the Google Play app list.

Is NFS compatible if you've already purchased it? Surely would be...

Yes, since it was already bought and installed it can be played, but I won't be able to benefit from future updates, since it's now listed as incompatible. And this happened after the last OTA update. It seems to be the only app with this issue.

Hey all,
got this update OTA yesterday. However it did not go smooth at all. Update itself went fine. After reboot it updated the apps and Homescreen appeared. But then the problems started: none of the apps could start. I get constant messages that apps have been forced closed. Even Google account management and very basic stuff like maps, gmail... I can basically do nothing. I managed to get into settings (update was installed since build number is new) and did a factory reset. Same issue again: I choose system language and wireless settings (during this whole process constant messages about closed apps) until account settings freeze.

Now the tab is useless. Any idea what the problem might be?
Any help appreciated.

THIS! i got this too.. !!!

Did you manage to get anything fixed?

im at work right now so cant test can only read but im seeing that "cold boot" apparently works on some phones/tablets who get this behavior after an update.

R: New OTA Update Today

Hello I did the upgrade too in this version, but I must say that it is full of delays from the keyboard sucks, light sensitivity very slow internet browsing with chrome sucks. I put the keyboard as SwiftKey while dolphin browser is a little better ... I hope update to 4.2 will come soon ...

Send to Asus TF300T JB and Galaxy S2 Nfc LS8 Jelly Bean

Jealous... what was your root procedure?
rooted while on ICS using this method: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSGXThwXV84
after rooted i backed up root using this method: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--QMVhBUWe8

the last video shows you how to backup root, update to Jelly Bean, then how to restore root
when i lost root again after the newest OTA update, i just repeated the "how to restore root" process that is in the 2nd video

if you got the lasted update by any method other than OTA, it erases the root that you backed up
that's what i have read, anyway
someone correct me if i am wrong

LOL. Added the reminder simply because I missed doing it for myself. One stupid mistake and I almost screwed myself.

Still Charged Up
ya ive always been careful with the voodoo ota backups and such and keeping everything up to date before i run updates.

R: New OTA Update Today

Hello I have to change my opinion on the last update, I did a factory reset and performance have changed now there are more lag and the system is more fluid, also the battery lasts longer, so after receiving the update via ota make a backup and a factory reset.
