Hello, you all!
I the interest of all us (or perhaps only me) forced to stay on .17 DE I'd like to ask something of you people on .17 WW (only rooted. nothing more(rootkeepered is ok)) with a bit of knowledge about the OTAs, Linux, Android and stuff.
Can you please make sure you've got a gig free on your internal sdcard and do this in a terminal or in adb shell:
(wait for 5-15 minutes)
and save the system.img somewhere (on your mac/pc or something) for safekeeping?
I dunno where to upload a gig of data, but someone else perhaps knows?
I'd REALLY like to identify differences between .17 DE and .17 WW.
To create a full replacement/hack you'd probably need something from /data (/dev/block/mmcblk0p8) as well, but there be dragons (and LOADS of personal information) there.
NOTE: I haven't checked rigorously, but there may be some device specific sensitive data on the /system partition (like keys to the ASUS update system), so don't just upload it (if unlocking later there may be no problem, but I'm no expert).
If someone is working on this I may be able to provide some extra ideas, so feel free to PM me (only if you're really working on it).
