Question says it all, still waiting, hope to get this thing working like it should !
I haven't got it yet...but for me it looks like the site is down...grrr...Been having some random reboots...hopefully this ota helps
No update here either. I just spoke to an Asus rep and he said it will be up tomorrow. Take this with a grain of salt because he also mentioned that the version of ICS that we have been running is quote "from android" and the Asus version will be available tomorrow . Also can someone also check if your "check update" is working under settings. Mine just sits there after clicking and does nothing. The Asus site is also down for me but works fine if I'm tethered and using mobile date. I wonder if that's related. Thanks in advance

I just got the update now, rebooting as I type. I'm in Toronto.
Am getting the update notice since early this morning, trying to install, but poor Android dude drops dead on its back with a big red triangle busting out of it's gut ???? Wtf ???
Update cant install. Is it because i'm rooted?
Battery is at 50%, could that b the cause?
I' ll keep you posted
Still refusing to install update on a full charge now, am not getting any specific error code of any kind, just reboots after a few minutes without update, stuck on buggy 9.2.4.7 !!!!!

Update installed at 11:45pm (19th) in Toronto. Lost root but recovered it with previously installed OTA rootkeeper. Everything seems to be working smoothly. Haven't checked whether the gps is any more responsive yet.
BTW, I wasn't having any of the reboot issues so things haven't changed there.

Hey all,
I just got a replacement g tab from Woot today and I charged it an turned it on....it is at version 3389 and I can not get it to update to 3588. I have wifi connected and can access the web, etc... I've tried rebooting 5 times now and have tried the manual updating in the app tray and it says its up to date with 3389. Any ideas what is going on? I'm hoping maybe just viewsonics site that supplies the updates is down but not sure how I can verify that. I'm really hoping I don't have another g tab with issues....

Search for homebrew on the site here as it has all the stock ROMs
I had the same issue with a replacement I got today. Just used the stock one from the Dev forum. Do not know what is going on. Probably just a down server.

Hmm... down update server? Could it be viewsonic is gearing up for its next OTA? Rumor has it pegged for arround this time.
Thanks for the fast replies. Do you think that this problem is not a hardware issue? I wouldn't think this is hardware related and lean toward a problem with viewsonics servers as we'll, but I don't want to keep this tablet if it has a issue..... I see the stock Rome when I search for homebrew so that's easy enough to flash if nobody thinks this tablet has any hardware problems.
Possibly a new udpdate? Wouldn't THAT be nice.
Time to test that theory! Going back to stock to see what happens with the OTA.....
EDIT: INTERESTING. I just dropped 2967 on mine (nvflash) and it says there's no update. That should not be the case. Methinks there's something going on.....
EDIT2: Nothing on 3588 stock either (no updates). But will leave my device that way, for now.
I just got 2 gtabs from woot today and both are doing the same thing, stuck at 3389 and will not update. Even tried volume + and power on. Did not help. Thought maybe was cuz I am in Canada.
I guess the good news is it sounds like I don't have a hardware issue! I'll keep my fingers crossed for a new update from VS.

Yes it would then maybe Adam from VS could move on with his quest for a developer involved movement as requested last month? This would be the best place instead of starting a new place on VS web page
But for bandwidth usage they should use there service.
Reflashed mine back to stock 2967 earlier today and it wouldn't wouldn't do the OTA either. Kept saying it was up to date and never had that problem until today. Hope they are planning something nice for us.
I actually just got mine and it has 1.0-2638 and it's saying it's up to date
so having not done an OTA update, can I still install Vegan 5.1?
just got my Gtab from woot. for some strange reason, I didnt't get the whole setup screen on plugging it in and turning it on, mor did I get notice of an OTA update after getting the wifi going.
can I go ahead and load Vegan 5.1 anyway with the 3389 on it?
also, but perhaps tangential to this thread, which Kernel if any should I install on the Vegan 5.1? Clemsyn? Pershoot?
after the Vegan is installed, will it do a setup all over again? I'd like that.
my first post!
thanks!
My guess is that everybody that got their Gtab today from the woot is trying to download the update and it might have crashed the viewsonic update servers. Guessing Viewsonic wasn't expecting thousands of peeps trying to download updates all on the same day and didn't prepare. Or..........I could be totally wrong and they are getting the server ready for a Honeycomb realease?
I think most of them were received last week, there shouldn't be a huge number of new users.
Barcod - did you have to send your old tab back first before woot send out the new one? I ordered a replacement and really hope it doesn't have the same sound issues.

Nope, Woot sent me an advanced replacement and shipped it out the day they received my email about the audio problem. They were a pleasure to deal with. I still have the old tab to send back to them which they provided a shipping label for that as well.
This is pretty annoying, I cant even manually update using the thread located here.

Was that a Woot one or a Tiger Direct one? I would call VS Customer Service TODAY and ask them to please have them ask TapnTap Inc to fix the OTA updater ASAP. 2638 is probably the original firmware and it is NASTY bad. Buggy as all hell.
If they can't do anything, you should at least do a stock update via the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842000.

3389 should be safe to use as a baseline.

That's our old homebrew one. You can use that command file with the newer zips on the link. Just rename the newer zip to "update.zip".
Given the number of new systems being shipped recently, this is pretty irresponsible of TapnTap and they really need to fix that ASAP. Their OTA updater is the ONLY "official" way to get updates, and it's been down since last night.
Maybe they have given up on our beloved g-tabs

I think Asus suspended the 4.03 OTA update. I got my new unit of Transformer prime and no matter how I clicked on check update it won't let me because non is available. I had another unit, where the other one i updated last night. I brought from the same place and I am in Canada Toronto.
Maybe ISC is too buggy and they need to crack out a new one before the bad press spread...
Duo you have a serial number?
yep
i do, i have built of WW if that matters
is it because my battery is below certain % so it won't let me
Yeah I just got mine this evening and haven't been able to update to ICS yet either. Does it have to be 100% battery before it will find an update?

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Are you sure your serial number is listed in the software? (Settings then About My Tablet then Status).
We all have physical serial numbers, the bug is with the software not knowing it.
If you do and your battery is over 15% then they likely are suspending the OTA.

Support told me new 4.0 firmware is coming in next few days
So if there is something wrong with it, why are some working? Just returned mine, have return remorse if they fix it now.
Better you return it while you know you can get a refund than end up stuck with a broken system later that ASUS refuses to admit is broken.
I'm currently on the phone with support one last time (OD is picking up the unit tomorrow, but given I have 4 shipments of accessories coming from Amazon...I realized I'm better off if I can get ASUS to finally just send me a new unit)- been on hold for over 45 minutes waiting for a supervisor. So...not a great start.
I was having the same problem but I assumed because I got mine in on jan 2nd (before the 12th official release date), that was why i never got any update notifications. I have checked over and over for the ICS update since I heard it was out but still nothing. So i assumed its something to do with regions.
However, after going through this thread...I checked the status of my unit and realised that serial number reads as "unknown". Please is this a defect of some sort? What are the implications(if any)?

From reading the other post, if your Android doesn't know your TFP's serial number, it cannot get update. Read that some ppl already returned theirs for a replacement.
So like some other people I saw, I was able to download the new firmware but it failed during the installation. Tried with root. Tried without root. Nothing worked. Apparently if you mess with any of the apps/bloatware that come it may not work.
Here is how I fixed it:
Goto ASUS.com, goto SUPPORT>DOWNLOADS>Put in Transformer Prime. Select Android OS and then FIRMWARE. Download this: Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201 Firmware: V9.4.2.7 Only for US SKU (Android 4.0.3)
It will be a ~300mb zip file. Once its downloaded, extract it, its a zip inside of a zip. Once you get the new zip, place it on /sdcard/ and power off your device.
Once I turned mine BACK on, I went to System, About Tablet and checked for a FW upgrade. It saw the file I put on and allowed me to reinstall 4.0.3 ICS, afterwhich I was able to get tonights OTA.
I know this isnt anything special, but trying to get info out of the current thread is tough.
If your device doesn't see an update after you put the zip on your tab, try powering off, holding POWER and VOLUME DOWN and then pressing VOLUME UP once you get to the screen with tiny text. It will attempt to update that way but fail, and youll get a message once you get back to your homescreen that a update failed and you can attempt it again that way.
I will help out everyone and go a step further, here is the direct download of version 11, feel free to mirror if someone knows how. Just throw me some thanks for posting it for you.

Already put in a RMA to return my prime through newegg earlier today but i'll give this a shot.. if it doesn't work... bye bye prime

Keep trying and hopefully it will download. I just clicked my notifications after it said it was downloaded and ran the install. So far don't notice much, but will test the GPS tomorrow on the way to work.
WiFi signal is now reading 3 bars vs 2 bars before the update. Will see if this helps those two areas, if not might return the Asus Prime.

Has anyone flashed with this update? The name is a little odd, I've only ever seen 4 digit version numbers (i.e. 9.x.x.x) but this one has five (9.4.2.11.1). Is that what it is supposed to be? Just want to make sure. I am one of the people with no serial number, so I can't get OTA updates. I'd like to flash it if this is the correct one.
I read somewhere that this update gives the users the option to gain root access. is it true?
Thank you so much for posting this method of updating. It worked perfectly. I was rooted and had removed some bloatware without backing up first. Thus, the latest update would fail. With this method I was able to successfully update to the latest GPS fix update. Thanks again.

I really saw this in a site, I know it's not reasonable and probably impossible but I decided to ask here to be sure.
The update that is. 11.1 was an advanced update beyond the original OTA released the same day that is supposed to have a few more bug fixes in it including preventing the reboot problems. There is a long thread in the development forums if you want more info. It is also mirrored and hosted there as it is no longer on my drobox as I reached my limit.
Hope that helps!

Man I wish I could have kept the GS one that I sent to you and would have sent you my BB one lol. My GPS does not work at all. I just had BB re-ship me a new one. Hopefully this one works for me lol.
Well,
Had my prime 3 days, OTA update to ICA completed, now stuck at black screen after ASUS boot, Tried the battery drain, tried manual update via sdcard still no luck,
Phoned Amazon explained what had happened, RMA sent to return for full refund as they don't have any in stock.
Thought I was going to struggle to get another prime, but got one being delivered from Misco tomorrow.
Hopefully this time it will all go well, or do you think I should stay away from ISC update ??
Cheers
I think it depends on the prime. I was lucky. I have had mine for a week, updated to the latest OTA. Not one problem outside of the sometimes laggy browser. Make sure you charge it or have it plugged in before you update. Also I have heard it forces you to update eventually.

I have zero scientific data to back this up, but the first thing I did when I unboxed my prime was the latest update to ICS and it works great.
I got lucky with mine as well, I upgraded to ICS without any problems.
(I have not noticed many of the other reported problems with mine either).
Just connected my Xperia to the computer tonight (Thursday 7 May 2012) and it told me the *73 update was available.
I had flashed generic *67 UK ROM a couple weeks ago, to rid bloatware from O2, so, it's still unbranded after the update, much to my relief!
I was surprised at the update really, as I believe ICS is just around the corner, but, it's always nice to get an update.
Let's hope it improves battery life, maybe even more so with ICS???
It's 7 JUNE? Also. 75 is available
Wake up :-D

73?
I'm also in UK and just connected my phone to PC Companion and got 'surprised' by the window displaying 6.0.A.3.75 being available for my phone.
yeah mines says .75 as well
I'm definitely gonna have to check this out when I power the laptop in the morning.
Anyone noticed any real changes yet? Like battery performance or stability etc...
Sent from Sony Xperia S using XDA Premium
Bought my XS from 3 last week (arrived last Friday) and it had .73 on it already
How can I tell if it's 3 branded or not? It's 6.0.A.3.73.
Boot up screen will have a big 3 logo on it. Usually a good sign that its branded.
Any ftf for this anywhere...???
I take it it's not available OTA right?
No dont think s.
You guys are a bit late there. The rest of the world has had .73 for a month or so and are on .75 now.
UK generic is on. 75 now I think OP made a mistake on the title
