I still have not been able to get any OTAs today or yesterday.
When I check it says can't connect. But I can surf and download other things just fine. I have grabbed the latest 9.4.2.11.1 file from on this forum and was wondering if I can do that manually with it skipping 9.4.2.9 and 9.4.2.11.
I would try to get the file from asus.com but the site doesn't seem to up.
Thanks for you help.
When I first recieved my unit, it was on original firmware, and the first update it processed was the ICS one. Similar situation I suppose, as the auto update mine did skipped the HC firmware update that came out before the ICS update did.
I wonder what 9.4.2.11.1 is all about? That was never released as an ota.
just open the prime in the box, it had one single update, which brings the firmware to latest 9.4.2.11.
however, after the major update, I got notification "Camera Firmware update is available", I started the update, it shows "Camera Firmware updating", and progress bar won't move at all, couple seconds later, a window pops up saying: "Camera Firmware Update Error".
I tried rebooting 2 times, tried Factory Reset.
I was going to try reverting back to 8.8.3.33, I downloaded the 318MB zip file, but don't know how to apply the damn zip file.
Could the problem be because the latest Firmware is installed, and Camera Firmware can't be installed from that?
anyone know what might be going on? and how do i apply a update .zip file?
Wanted to bump this up I am having same issue, everything else is flawless, really hate to return but I do need to occasionally use the camera. My camera version is TF201-0xFFFFFF, I am getting a notice of firmware update but it will not apply.
I have tried factory reset, I applied the newest 11.1 build and still no change. I have a few weeks yet before my return window is up, hoping a solution is discovered.
Latest cam version should be 0x9900

Ya I saw that that was the latest version, but it will not install through the ASUS update. It just keeps saying that the update failed and would I like to retry. I was hoping someone found a solution to that as I have retried numerous time with no success. Maybe the ability to download the latest camera firmware and update manually somehow.

You can do that from Asus website. Manually install from website on a PC to the prime.

I did that with the latest firmware they have posted which is Version V9.4.2.7(US) but after it completed I got the notification to update camera firmware. Since there is no separate camera firmware listed on their site I cannot do that for the camera. I then did the OTA to 9.4.2.11 hoping that would fix it but nope. Then I applied 9.4.2.11.1 and still have same camera version and every time I reboot I get the notification that there is a new camera firmware update. However it will not download or install it just fails with an error message saying it failed would I like to try again.
My front camera works through Gtalk, back camera displays crazy green screen. Camera app will not run it says I must install firmware update. I imagine if I can get the new firmware on my device it will solve the problem, but alas I cannot get the camera firmware to download.
Same problem update camera firmware
Hello,
I have the same problem relating to the camera firmware. When I look to 'my tablet' it's also the version TF201-0xFFFFFF. I was wondering if you've found a solution and what solution that may be
Thanks for any answer!
I ended up returning my prime to Amazon and getting a new one as ASUS wanted me to send it in for repair. If that is not an option for you then you will need to do a go through ASUS for repair.
Thanks for the response. Going back to the retailer where i bought it. sigh

Camera quit on mine. GPS also went out. I tried the factory reset as instructed by tech support. Ended up returning for repair. I'll have it back in about two weeks.
I've got a US Prime and I live in the UK but I still haven't gotten the latest firmware update OTA. I can't check manually either as the check update button is greyed out. I got the first ICS update fine on release day (11th?) but I haven't gotten an update since. I want to be able to restore my root after updating which has ruled out doing it manually. It's annoying me more than it probably should to be honest .
I have installed 9.4.2.11.1 manually from HoneyCome
I have no issue with freezes or lockups, but I realized It stopped giving me an OTA updates.
While some people are getting .14 update, I am still on 11.1 and even when I check for an update, Prime says there is no update for me.
Is it because I manually updated my prime? If so, how do I get OTA update back?
You are on a beta build of sorts so the actual firm ware updates don't recognize your Build # as one that needs to be updated.
What you need to do is manually up date to a current Build # and get back in the loop. I just did this myself, here are the steps. It's easy and only takes a little time.
Go to the Asus firmware download site.
http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=20&s=16&m=Eee+Pad+Transformer+Prime+TF201&os=&hashedid=FqCKMQDqgvSncfFM
Download the firmware update for version 13.
Then follow the instructions here to manually update (you probably already know this since you are on 11.1
http://service.asus.com/infopage.aspx?rid=18
You'll update and be on version 13 and your Prime will now "see" OTAs.
Check for firmware updates, it will say there is a new version and it will start to download 14.
ta-da!! You (and I) are back in the loop for OTAs
