Hi guys,
i checked for an update for my german Prime (from Amazon Germany) 2 hours ago, but there was none.
Is the ICS update rolling out to Germany for someone?
from what i've seen its only been rolled out to us version primes..there was a report of a prime owner in mexico receiving the OTA but Canada hasn't.
US allways gets everything first
+1, still no ICS love on my Prime :-\
The rest of the country's should follow soon.. Ah well, we pay a much higher price and are always second in line.

Yes because they are beta testers right now. Read few posts more how many problems they are having now...

well...people just post something when they have a problem! if everyone without problems posted something, xda would be flooded (hopefully) ;-)
Yeach - hopefully... hihihihi
We're all Asus paying beta b*tches. Most Primes delivered outside Taiwan are in the US, thus they will likely update the remaining SKUs a or two day after, just as they did with the previous updates.
I hope that someone with a german Prime can upload the update file in the cache folder. That will be very useful for people withput a serial number.

Also waiting for ICS on my TF201, and also waiting for my keyboard dock. So i am still on my TF101 from time to time.

Hmmm.... Still no ICS update this morning (Jan. 11, 8 am).
Anyone in Germany with a german Prime and ICS?
No update here yet either. I'm sure it will be here soon enough..
i got this morning WW SKU update. saved root with root keeper, restored after update - all up and working.

ParaTr00per, have you bought your Prime in Germany?
Guys, I'd do a manual check. A dutch transformer just got an update...
In the Czech Republic is available from the update this morning.
In the morning when I looked and there already waiting for update (6:20)
Germans always need something special...
I wonder what's the difference in our build....

The Razorclaw rooting method has been successful for a few of the "early" units obtained, but curious if those getting theirs now with the official release are still able to root.
For those that attempt, please indicate if this was before or after the OTA ...
Thanks
Has anyone tried this yet with their new Prime? Curious to see if it still works after the OTA. I'll have mine tomorrow to try but wanted to know if anyone did it already.
After the OTA...and Nope.. No workee for me.

Thanks for trying. At least I know now to apply root first before OTA and see what happens, maybe root will be held, even though I doubt it.

it might hold. I know, with my Atrix4g, it holds root after several hard resets. My Ota doesn't work so not too sure. Even after hard reset ota wont work. Must have deleted something essential that ota checks for. Thats why I will wait for Ics b4 .
Tried it post OTA and didn't work for me either. Should have applied the root first but I was impatient.
I have learn my lesson before. I have put a hold on the ota so far but haven't try to root yet. Waiting on more concrete way that Razorclaw v1.0.1 will work and wont brick it.
Man, we are really the early adopters.
No root pre-OTA either.
hey just the asus transformer prime is my first tablet but i am just wondering what is the point of rooting?? I am at a lost for this.
If you guys could be so kind to give me a brief summary.

I did the OTA without thinking and feel retarded about it... The number one reason I'd root at this point is to remove apps that I'll never use...
What will ICS bring
I want to know what ICS is going to do for the browser on the Prime.Scrolling & page rendering on some pages on my xoom was horrific.My friend comes along with his dang ipad & loaded & scrolled through the same web pages with ease.

I will be receiving a replacement one in a few weeks, but I have a feeling that one will already be at (or above) this build...

I think you need to be at build 8.8.3.23 in order to root. I can't get to the demos at gamestop but I think might have been the build of the one I rooted. I have been asking if anybody that goes to gamestop to stop and see what the build is on the demo, but no one has done it so far.
It's a negative for me also. throws up an error: 256

I thought all gamestops had to send their demo units back to Asus in early December. The tablet store that I got my prime from no longer had it for some reason when I checked in mid December.
By the way, I tried to root my prime out of the box with Razorclaw, and it gave me an error. I doubt any of the gamestop models are rootable because they probably applied the fix when adding the games. I'm guessing that the only models that are rootable are the ones that were in the very first production batch that didn't have wifi issues and passed right through QA.

I rooted a gamestop demo the day it came into the store. I think i even saw it on the display when I went to pick mine up. If my schedule isn't hectic tomorrow, I'll probably go back there and check the build and see if the root is still on there. Was wondering if there was anything I can take from it (any folders/files/partitions) that would help get the root back on ours.

where did you get your prime
i got mine from best buy in USA and got update notification when i did a check for update
try doing a manual check for update
settings>about tablet>software update>check update
Please indicate in the title that this is a question, otherwise it reads like you have seen the update.
If we knew when it would be, there would be a post about it already...
I am fairly certain the ICS update was global. Are you connected to internet and does your Prime have serial numbers listed? It seems that people that don't have serial numbers are unable to get the update.

No only US and TW models got it yet. Confirmed by ASUS.
I got it from PC World on the 2nd Jan. Tried the manual check but nothing yet so must assume it will come in the next few days.
Im in the uk with a UK prime and have no ICS update yet either...
Still waiting here!

no update for me
There will be no update until the WW version of the update is sent live. As Diamondback2010 said only US and TW updates are live at the moment. If I'm not mistaken, Canadians are also using WW version so even though they're only a stones throw away from the US they don't have ICS either. Just assume the 12th and any earlier will be a bonus (so long as you don't end up with an update brick).
Downloading update now. 02:57am uk
Its now here for the UK, downloaded and installed.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
Thanks for the heads up guys! Here we go!
Congrats UK! Glad to hear that I can update my tablet once it actually gets shipped from UK without having to worry about backups prior to update.
Downloading as I type. Fingers crossed my perfect Prime stays that way!
Got mine this morning... cant' really tell much has changed, but it just feels that little bit smoother and finished.
Camera was stuttering after the update, i'm sure nothing that reboot wont sort.
Looking great to me so far. So smooth, just shows how bad Honeycomb was when you have a basis for comparison, under the hood.
Anyone else finding the check for firmware update button is greyed out?
Here is the Update file directly from the cache folder:
http://db.tt/yAFWWwuk
Place it in your cache folder and the update should be recognized.
If you don't have root access yet, try to rename it to DE_epad-9.4.2.11-20120117.zip and copy it to the root directory of a microSD-card. This may also trigger the update (untested).
If it works for you, please let us know.
Good luck!
Experience on my ICS-Prime: So far very good, but haven't got much time to do the testing yet. It's smooth and fast.
Updated this morning but not with your file, just the normal update procedure!
Experience:
Really fast but still no GPS, even though the new GPS drivers are implemented.

I already downloaded it and i'm loving it ! Don't see any changes with GPS (I didn't have any problems before the update) and for now it's all good.
EDIT: No face unlock for us ? ;/

Don't think so. OTA unrooted my device, since the update process is the same regardless the way the update file enters your device, it will be the same for you.
You'll have to reroot.

No problem with Glowball, Shadow Gun THD or Riptide HD at all.
no glowball for me... it dont work for me... close without a fc message
I think I read someone say there is an update available for glowball in the market that will get it running again.
i got ics update today too and a second update for gps or so... since the ics update I have no longer some special german letters like ä,ü,ö shown in browsers and on websites (firefox, android browser and maxthon), I don't have the @ in browser over keyboard and all tegra games will close after a few seconds of loading. I've allready contacted asus about the BETA ICS in my eyes. as I wrote the message to asus, I found 2 more buggs while writing and editing the text. when you write text between finished lines and press "blank", the cursor jumps to the end of the text, so you have after every fu****** word going back to the position where you have written in... and after writing some words faster (I can really write fast XD) the TOUCHPAD is active for some seconds?!?!?! This is not really funny, if you need this tablet for work.... . I bought my prime in austria... .
[edit] before upgrading I've temp unrooted the device with voodoo and restored the su-binaries successfully after updating. no rerooting in ICS needed

I may have updated that before updating to ICS, not quite sure about it.

All seems fine. More testing later.
I still wished I could have a WW device not DE though.

Manual update is not possible. So i will start a RMA for the serial number problem. No way that i want to wait a week until they put the Update onto their servers.

Thanks but what I mean is does doing it by putting the files in the cache folder stop you restoring the root in the same way that installing the .zip from the sdcard directory does.

I rarely start new threads here on XDA, but I thought this topic was deserving of having its own thread.
Many of us who had perfectly working Primes have had our units seriously screwed up by ASUS' .13 firmware update. Whether it's the sleep of death, ridiculous battery drain, or both, many of our tablets have went from working great to being borderline useless. It's as if many of our Primes were sacrificed to fix a few other Primes that had freezing problems that we never had.
With that said, I don't see why we should have to wait for weeks while Asus works on a fix for their last "fix" that caused these problems in the first place, when there is a perfectly good firmware already written that works great for most users. Why can't ASUS just give us the option to go back to the .11 firmware while they continue working on newer firmware? Why is this so hard? Am I missing something?

I could be wrong, but as far as I can see, various firmware versions are available for download from the Asus website - at least, they are from the UK website (which includes US-centric firmware): http://uk.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201/#download

Yup, the global Asus web site has them too. There are other resources other than just XDA Developers, you know! ;-)

Yes, but manual update will not allow you to downgrade firmware to an earlier version...
Crap! I'm in the same boat.
I would love to revert back to .11
Battery drain is just too much to ignore.
Revert Firmware
As much as I hate the battery drain at this point the Reboots and Sleep of Death ARE KILLING ME.
.11 had a Perfectly working Prime. WIFI, BT everything great (well GPS didn't work but expected that..) No reboots etc.. Loved my prime... Update to .13 Firmware and Have the sleep of death, random reboots... going on 10+ reboots in 10 hours since updating this morning...
This sucks.
Please Please PLEASE give me a way to revert to .11
Be patient and the roms will come...

To be honest at this point I just wish they would give us our money back this product is a bust too many quality control issues.
the only way you'll get your money back is if you bought it from asus directly, but if you bought it at a retail store, you have to go back to a retail store.
however, im sure you know you can send it to rma and you'll get back it back fixed in a few weeks. sorry
In theory if someone could figure out where misc_version was stored then maybe someone with more brains than me could write a script to change this to a lower version allowing downgrade.
I may be barking up the wrong tree of course.
I had issues after an earlier firmware upgrade and a factory reset fixed it. I suggest trying that before investigating returns, downgrades or RMA's.

This was the last straw for me. I'm stuck with the Prime, but I will ABSOLUTELY NEVER BUY ANOTHER ASUS PRODUCT EVER AGAIN. They're an awful, awful company.
Edit: Also, it's ridiculous to be expected to do a full reset after every OTA update, especially when Asus releases one every other week to try and fix problems they created with the previous OTA update.

Yep, I have said it a few times already in other threads, give us back our . 11

it was tweaked to account for processor clock differences in the Primes experiencing ICS lockup issue unless they allow us to somehow roll back to 1.11 this isn't happening anytime soon.
Im with the thought of the factory reset and installing apps one at a time. Im updated to the latest nd havent had any issues save the youtube thing that started before the update. Ive had apps crash to home screen and either ditched them or reinstalled. No battery problems here. What I noted after the update was fewer app crashes, better (not stronger) wifi preformance and the noise line that was popping through the screen every now and then hasnt happened since. Im thinking a great deal of issues are apps that are not optomized with ICS.

Ah. Fair point.
When I took my TF201 to the Asus service centre here in Hong Kong (yes they are Asus, not a contractor) I asked if they could roll me back to Honeycomb. Their answer was cannot. Only at the factory!
They are keeping the bootloader secure.
Is .13 so bad? Some of us in eu with constant reboots can't wait.
