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 ? ;/
Does doing it this way allow you to keep root?

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.

German prime version?
Anyone else can't play glowball, or any tegra game since the upgrade?
i've had the transformer since yesterday (yay!) and updated to 4.0.3 this morning.

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.
Received the new fw also here in Denmark, German device
All seems fine. More testing later.
I still wished I could have a WW device not DE though.

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.

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.

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 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.

See my "Loud Vibrator" thread, lol
Just got the prime and it's prompting me to update the firmware ota. Not sure if i should cuz i dont want to lose any ability to root later on. This update might patch any exploit.
What do you think?
For those who updated, did you notice any difference?
Android browser is rather sluggish and force close on me several times already.
If you ever want to root don't do it

If you have some problems (WiFi, GPS) I would just do it. The root method for the TF101 isn't working with or without update anyway.
Wrong I got root access on my 32GB champagne from newegg until I updated
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
Id say yes and update. people here posting not being able to root before and after Ota. Update helps your device even run better. add far as force close goes, more than likely from an app you installed thats not really compatible yet with prime or honeycomb version. tons of apps still needed to be updated from developers side.

Really? I have read much people who couldn't root it with that method. With or without update.
Asus doesn't care about us rooting the device(they are not apple), I am sure they didn't try to block it on purpose. There will be a way to root sooner or later.
And even if I am wrong and there won't be a way to root you are going to want to update to ICS either way so you might as well update now while your at it.
They have changed the APK. The APK is an AES-128 private key that can only be read by the AES engine on the motherboard.
I don't think they did that on accident, it's pretty obvious to me it was done precisely to block the razorclaw root (which uses a leaked APK).
note: braifart led me to type APK when I meant SBK ...

I see your point, but on the other hand the original way of installing an apk was a huge security flaw as well so they pretty much had to change it.
I just started my research on the last transformer and noticed asus really is trying to block us from root for some reason. I came from a xoom and a tab 10.1 which both got rooted right away.
I am wondering why asus cares so much.
I wouldnt care all that much about root until ICS is out^^ Lots of stuff is going to change anyway.

Razorclaw worked for me and I'm rooted. Tested and confirmed with Adfree and Titanium Backup.

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).

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?
The good news - Instagram for Android is out today. The bad news - shows as incompatible with the Prime
Any way to get around that?
Download it on your phone and if you can use TiBu on your phone to back it up (root required), then copy the .apk backup to your prime; you can install the app. Couldn't tell you if it works, but that's how I move apps from my phone to tablet when I see that incompatibility message.

Yeah, works fine so it seems... I just transferred the apk from thr /data/app folder to my prime and installed it. Haven't logged in yet but installed and opened fine.

there was another update for the app. hopefully it added fixes and will be prime compatible soon.

Powering Off Issue
Had the issue where it would shut down and sent it to Sony Support. They have since sent it back "fixed". I can't say if it's gone or not because I still need to pick it up from the post office. They said that it was a software problem and they fixed it (as well as replace the back cover). Will let you all know if it's gone. Perhaps hidden in the release 6a update is the fix for this?

I sent my Xperia Tablet S in for the same reason, all they did was replace the back panel, they claimed there were no software problems, but they have me unconvinced. It still shuts off randomly, mostly while watching something on the YouTube app. The update seemed to only have fixed the wifi disconnects, and VPN issues. I think it's something in the firmware that Sony needs to fix before the shut down problem will be fixed.
