[GUIDE] [SOLVED] "FAILED: ICS Update not working" - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Read all instructions before beginning.
THIS IS NOT A GUIDE TO ROOTING, OR FOR DOWNGRADING TO .33 FROM ICS.
0. link a google account with your tablet if you have recently done a factory reset.

1. Extract the update zip on your computer.
2. Find the zip file in the extracted folders.
3. Copy that file to the root of your sd card.
4. Reboot.... Zip file will be detected after reboot.
5. . 33 update will install.

Just to be clear...
You are downloading UpdateLauncher_US_epaduser8_8_3_33.zip
at
http://usa.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201/#download
and extracting US_epad-user-8.8.3.33.zip
Then placing it in REMOVABLE/MICROSD/US_epad-user-8.8.3.33.zip
and then just reboot or wait for the system prompt and it will install .33

6. After reboot re root
7. Then use root keeper to save root
8. Install ics and enjoy.
9. Once done use root keeper to gain root again
10. Use root checker to verify

Thanks to everyone who helped sort this out and make sense of it.
I never new bloatware could be so dangerous.
DO NOT DELETE BLOATWARE IF YOU WANT TO RECEIVE OTA UPDATES IN THE FUTURE

Damn OP for making me think that unrooted people are also having update problems. I was panicking when I read through the first pages of this thread.
Nothing to worry about when you don't root and don't delete system apps.

My sincere apologies. *I did not want to garner any undue hostility to jcase or viperboy as the Root process was not at fault in any way.
It was only what we all happened to do once we had it. (deleting bloatware)
If you arent sure where the update goes after all this...

3 attempts so far and each time after the firmware downloads and the prime reboots, right after the Android with the gears shows up he turns into an android with an exclamation mark.
Then after a 5 minute boot I get a system message that says:
Post here if you failed too, and solutions you have.
Attempts:
first - Device was nachorooted, root backed up via OTA rootkeeper. FAILED
second - with root disabled via OTA rootkeeper FAILED
third - removed root via viperboy's tool FAILED
fourth - factory reset then update FAILED
fifth - just going to repeat the stock attempts until something looks different

No idea if this would work but maybe use that tool viperboy made to unroot yours and then try (pretty sure it has an unroot option)? Not sure why that would help since rooted users have successfully updated but may be worth a shot.

sorry forgot to mention that was my 3rd attempt
i'm on #4 now just doing a factory reset first.

Having this same issue. Not sure what the problem is, but it keeps failing.
I too am rooted.
Trying out this E4GT...

exact same thing happened to me, except I have no idea how to try to update again, when I go to about phone, system update, the check update box is greyed out.

How exactly do you factory reset on .33 with the .33 zip on asus's website?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

method 4 failed as well, any ideas anyone?

How are ya'll able to try the update more than once? Are you just talking about reboot or are you actually downloading the update again? the reason I ask is that I am unable to click the check update button.

its not exactly "factory" reset, but its a full wipe of settings and data.

like 5 attemps still failed..
factory reset, cold boot, reboot router, still failed.

I'm following what you mean.
edit:
when I click system firmware update the "check update button is grayed out but it just starts downloading in my tray automagically.

Rest all data, unrooted, still no luck. 4 failed attempts, not sure what would be any different from the rooted users that are able to update.

This is why you guys shouldnt have rooted knowing ICS was around the corner.

I too am getting failed. I used VipreMod to root and I've tried unrooting using said tool and also using the OTA root backup tool.

This does not have anything to do with root.
A number of fully rooted users have already updated.

I'm in the same boat, on my 3rd try downloading the update.

[Q] Rooting Samsung Galaxy I500

Im having problems, with the root everytime I try to update the phone. It starts up the it gives me an error. I've also tried fixing the signature and still nothing. Does anyone have idea of what might be wrong with it.
Did you remember to wipe the intake manifolds? Also make sure the flux capacitor is set to "low".

You need to install clockworkmod so you can use custom recovery to "update things"

Here is the link for odin: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7223192/RootSF/Odin3 v1.3.exe Download and install it on your PC. Once it is installed, open it. Then turn off your phone and pull the battery out. Hold the volume down button and at the same time plug your phone into the PC. It should go into download mode. Find the PDA button (in odin) and click it. ONLY USE THE PDA BUTTON!!! Then find the linked file I gave you earlier and select it for PDA. Then hit start. When you see a green "pass", unplug the cable and put the battery back in and hold down both the volume buttons and power button at the same time. Hold them until you see the samsung logo. You will then boot into cwm recovery. From there you can flash whatever rom or kernel that you have already put on your SD card.
Don't use rom manager on the fascinate.....that's a problem

Wow, way to NOT answer the guy's question. He's trying to, what I can see, do an OTA update, which WILL fail if you're rooted.
You HAVE to remove root if you're trying to do an OTA update.
Also, Stock Samsung Recovery will fail on unsigned zips. you would need the hacked 2e recovery, or just flash ClockworkMod with Odin.

No but seriously, what exactly are you trying to do with your fascinate/i500? Trying to put a new version of android on it? Just trying to get root? We have fairly standard ways of doing things now-a-days depending on what you're doing.

I can not connect to my i500 with USB. I have the issue I have read about where connecting to a laptop only charges the device. I have tried every trick I could find and no go. So, Odin and similar methods are out for me. I have root. So, whatever options I have, have to be performered on the device itself. If I could get a recovery to replace stock, that would be a start. Then I could disable signature verification and the like. I could try methods using terminal emulation or something similar. I just know there has got to be a way to do more than root the i500 without using USB! Any suggestions?

Don't need to unroot. Copy the file to the root folder of your ext SD and apply it using Moto Recovery. You will need to restore root after the update, so make sure you backup using Voodoo OTA rootkeeper.

Try this:
a) Take a full backup of your data and apps using TB
b) Unroot using Voodoo OTA Root keeper, you will NEED the backup.
c) Go into moto recovery and wipe data/factory reset the phone
d) Reboot and copy the file to the root of your ext-SD if you have not already
done so.
e) Go back into moto recovery and try installing the update.

Yes, fortunately ICS root utility works with this update as well. IMHO best to back up and restore your root using Voodoo OTA root keeper and restore in a matter of seconds.

Have you frozen or uninstalled any default/stock applications or bloatware?
I got a notification on the phone (a pop up screen) only after I copied the file to the ext-sdcard whilst the Razr was connected to the PC. You need requisite Moto drivers to be installed.
Moto drivers? Which drivers?
I've got somethings in this thread:

Right, since you have the drivers and if your phone is on stock without any frozen or uninstalled Moto bloatware you should be good to go then. :laugh:

Would be nice to have a Fastboot of everything to date i've deleted a couple of things since frozen wasn't working.

SOS: Help a Noob stuck at Samsung screen upon attempt to root

Hello,
Could you pls help a noob with a rooting problem? I attempted to root my ICS AT&T Galaxy Note i-717 using Odin3 v 1.85 and a pda.tar file. Prior to that, I had checked and confirmed the USB drivers are installed (I have Kies software installed on the PC. However, folliwing the succesful flash of pda.tar I got the phone stuck at the Samsung screen. I could still get to the download screen. However, the phone would not go pass that screen. Can you pls tell me what I did wrong/guide me w simple steps on how to fix the phone and finish the root? I have the read many different root treads but I find them confusing. Treads are ponting at different files to be frashed/installed on the phone. Thanks very much.
This happens from time to time...don't worry.
Reboot phone in download mode, connect phone, reflash kernel.
A few things: use stock samsung cable. Use back of computer usb port. Reboot computer before you try again. Re download the kernel to be sure your file is not corrupted. Make sure phone battery is more than 80%.

Stuck at Samsung
I have the same issue tho have tried troubleshooting and could really use some extra help.
Updated to ATT stock ICS update a few months ago. Everything workin fine.
Wanted to root it so I could back everything up not to lose anything when moving to JB.
Rooted by flashing Da_G's pda.tar, reboot, and then flashed 2.3.3.0 TWRP
Noticed it was stuck at Samsung.
Here's where I'm kickin myself because I should have backed it up before all this, but I waited because I figured root doesn't wipe data!
Entered TWRP, backed up.
Now what I've tried to fix it... and failed
1. Reflashed pda.tar about 5 times
2. Found a stock pda "pda-odin-att-stock.tar", flashed (fixed) but it's stock setup and contacts and other google services don't work, lost homescreen icon placement and all other settings.
3. TWRP: Restore all = stuck at Samsung again
4. Repeat 2 and Restore only System
5. Repeat 2 and Restore only Data
6. Repeat 2 and flash pda.tar = boots, but same thing with it all stock, so I restore and it's stuck again.
It's my wife's phone and she has contacts that aren't saved in Google, to-do lists saved in app data files, and to be honest, she said everything better be exactly the same after updating (which I promised it would be since the plan was to root, backup, update, and restore), so I'm kinda trying to save my hide. PLEASE HELP me save my ass ha!
Other things to note: I just rooted a new phone about 30mins prior with the exact same root and TWRP files and it went very smooth, no issues.
Using a Samsung original cable on a laptop. Phone Battery was ~30% when I did all the steps, but since then read that battery should be higher so swapped out to fully charged battery and retried the steps.
Using the root kernel you did, basically flashed a Gingerbread kernel over an ICS rom. (Doesn't work)
Your best bet at this point, is too flash a rooted ICS build from bigfau ...(located in the super thread stock section)
Just flash using TWRP ....BUT !!!
make sure you wipe the dalvik cache, system cache, and system before flashing the rooted ICS build.
Once the rom is flashed, you will be stock and rooted.
Regarding data you have lost with no backup....start begging forgiveness now ....it's gone ....g

Wouldn't I be able to just flash an ICS Kernel to undo the GB kernel and set things straight? Or is the whole thing ruined already?
I have the data/app and data/data files. If all's really lost, I'll just put JB on it. If I copy the data/app and data/data files onto the new image will all the apps with their settings/data be restored at least?
Yes, flash the correct kernel.
I think what happened to me is the OS got deleted cuz once I flashed a rom I was good to go!

[Q] I have absolutely no signal

So, last night I decided to update to one of the CM 10.1 nightlies. I haven't updated in a while and thought why the heck not? So I used the option built in the Settings app to update. I pressed download and waited for it to finish, then hit install and went to sleep while it installed. When I woke up I had no signal. Not even 2g. No calls, texts, data, you name it. Gone.
So I have spent at least 6 hours re installing old versions and scouring the internet and no one has an issue exactly like mine.
Here's a screenshot of what the settings look like:

Just flash in recovery. Probably best to use the newer which is the VRALL4. If this doesn't fix it you may want to try a clean flash with a full wipe.

Umm. So it seems this update did a lot more than mess up my data. It completely wiped my Recovery and removed my Play Store completely. I have no way to even flash this modem.

Very odd. What recovery were you using? I'm not on cm 10.1 so I'm not familiar with the updater but did it give you options to wipe any data or caches? And did you reflash gapps after updating?
If you can get a wifi connection you could always try and flash TWRP through the goo manager app. Just a thought.

I get an error when using the goo manager app. It says no current recovery installed. I am seriously ****ing stuck. Just one harmless update has demolished all the stuff on my phone.

You should be able to install recovery from the goo app. Open the all, then hit menu, then install openrecoveryscript. Confirm and see if will flash it.
Had this problem many of times on a gs3.
Calm down, I may be able to help you.
In the settings picture you posted. The my phone number was out of sight.
If the spot said Unknown.
You may be in luck.
But anyways do this either way.
Make sure you back up any thing you don't want to lose.
Boot into download mode.
Flash a stock unrooted official version. I believe this will also flash the modems and radio as well.
Check your signal and phone settings now.
I would expect nothing has changed signal wise.
But if you still have problems you open up dialer and call this phone number
*2767*3855#
Now your phone will cook up some magic and everything will be like the day you opened the box
However if this does not work, I would consider a new sim card (free at Verizon), try and do some more research
Or accept the fact you may have a hardware problem.
Feel free to pm me to let me know how it goes.
God bless the American people.

General Root seems to be broken on December update / don't flash until it's solved

There is some talk in the P6 race to brick Telegram group, it seems that the december update is causing root to fail.
So until this is fixed/solved, DO NOT UPDATE IF YOU WANT TO RETAIN ROOT.

He is working for the enemy now, was only a matter of time for problems to arise since he already stopped supporting MagiskHide at the behest of Google^^
Maybe Magisk just needs an update, maybe we have a bigger problem, we'll see
Nah, he'll find root or another Magisk developer will.
Cant we flash a patched stock boot image after the problem is solved?
As OP stated, do not update to December if you want to keep root. I did before I checked forums and lost root. Rolling back to November to hopefully regain access to root.

Please report back if its possible to roll back
I don't see any update when I check for update on my Pixel 6.
Do I need to something to get the update? I ma not rooted and hence do not worry about rooting.

Tread carefully, someone tried dirty flashing which then required a clean flash.

Yup, dirty flashed failed and requiring a clean flash. Good learning experience and lesson for me, don't jump the gun with the newest updates.
Assumptions made when I flashed December update on 4A 5G without any problems... c'est la vie.

You'll likely have to use the Google reset to factory process to ever use the phone again. I haven't rooted my Pixel 6 yet, though, so I can't confirm. But that's how I fixed a bad Pixel 5 update.

Google Pixel - Update and Software Repair
Need a USB cable and Chrome (I think, never used a different browser for it).
Again, I can't confirm this works but it's just an educated guess

just try it, only work up to google 5
Okay, so for anyone else here who tries to root using the December patch and gets stuck on the Google logo screen, here are the steps I took to fix it:
1. Hold down the power button until the phone turns off
2. Enter fastboot via holding down the power button and volume down
3. Attach a usb cable to a computer, download the factory image zip, then extract it
4. Once extracted, double click on "flash-all.bat," this will reflash every single component of the image to your phone and once it's done, will reboot and should boot as if nothing ever happened.
