We are from china, we used CN pad.
CN pad not have google service. The only way is flash other area rom.
21 root, must 15 root install root keep OTA to 21 get root back.
But CN pad can not OTA after flash to US rom, OTA may check serial no.
Does anyone can share this file /cache/dlpkgfile? Get this file after OTA download finished before reboot, need root right.

Just to clarify:
You need a rooted user to be on update .15, download the OTA update but don't install it, navigate to /cache/ and copy over the dlpkgfile? And this is a US user you need to do this?
I'll be glad to downgrade and update again if it will actually help you out, what will this file do for you?
I actually need the .21 OTA cache file as I have an Unknown serial nuber problem with my prime and can not receive OTA updates.

So then, would that be the file I get when upgrading from .15 - .21? Because right now there is no such file in my /cache directory and I'm at .21.
The cache file is deleted after you update.

K. I'll go about downgrading later, I wonder if there's any way I could get the cache file moving from .11 to .15 or whatever again. I'll post the cache file as soon as I have it.

Thank you.
Pad is at 15 rom, and rooted, OTA download 21, before reboot(after reboot pad will be 21), get file from /cache/.
And here is the dlpkg from .15 to .21 US
Thank you, what version of this file?US, TW, WW?
I can not open this link.
In china not all internet link can be accessd.
This site I can access:
drivers.softpedia.com/dyn-search.php?search_term=TF201&x=7&y=14
can upload on it?
thanks, download is ok now.
Hope upgrade 21 and keep root ok
If someone can share WW or TW cache file, that is better.

Glad to hear it! I suppose I could install the WW and TW firmwares and get them as well, I don't know how busy I'll be with work today so it may take a while.
CN pad upgrade 21 success and root keep OK.
All pad can not OTA (include sn problem) can use this way to make 21 root.
So, how do I install the OTA from the dlkgfile.bin?
I've put it in my cache and nothing.

for starters i dont have my prime but when i just downloaded the file i had no extension, as in get rid of the .bin in your file name, see if that works
Changing the file name to dlpkgfile does not work.
I've tried /cache/dlpkgfile.bin & /cache/dlpkgfile
Neither work
I need a version of TW or WW 15 to 21 OTA files, who can help me?
My pad is cn 15， I have OTA cn 21 download cache file ok， system alert me to reboot pad finish upgrade to cn21. I choose delay 1 day，and remove the cache file.
later I flash the official US 15 rom to my pad， the alert is still there. After put US dlpkgfile in /cache/ ，I choose the alert，and choose reboot pad，than upgrade started.
For the pad without alert，maybe "Rom manager" will help trigger start upgrade.
Rom manager have an menu "check rom for update"
Use system recovery also can flash this cache file.
I'm actually having trouble finding .15 in DE, TW, and the rest. WW and US are the only ones I've found, so I'll be trying WW soon to see if I can't get a dlpkgfile with it.

I have a Transformer Prime with an Unknown Serial Number. My tablet can NOT be pushed OTA Updates by ASUS. Do NOT suggest going to ASUS's website and downloading their update file, you can NOT keep Root using those files. OTA RootKeeper ONLY Works on OTA Updates PUSHED by ASUS to your tablet.
Do NOT suggest going to ASUS's website and downloading their update file. Do NOT suggest any blob file that has been linked to on these forums, UNLESS it is from someone who has actually COPIED the OTA Update from ASUS AS IT WAS BEING PUSHED to their tablet. These blob files are NOT OTA Updates.
Okay, so if you have an unknown serial on your Transformer or Transformer Prime you can't get OTA Updates. I am one of these people and it sucks because I actually like 9.4.2.21. I want root.
Now my question is, is it possible for someone with a TF101/TF201 to use some ADB or some other software to intercept the package that ASUS is pushing to the tablet and make it available to others?
I would try to figure out how to do it myself, but as I mentioned earlier. I don't have a tablet with a serial number, it shows unknown. So no OTA Updates for me.

You can manually update it using wolf849 method, which is really used to downgrade but im more then certain it would work to manually upgrade.
Ill go step by step.
1. If you want root, and are on 9.4.2.15 now, root it now! then backup root with OTA ROOTKEEPER
2.Download latest .21 FW here http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=20&s=16&m=Eee+Pad+Transformer+Prime+TF201&os=32 you likely want US build, not WW (check in settings under about this tablet)
3. Download my modded ViperMOD tool from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25508554&postcount=52 this allows for one click downgrade.
4. Extract the .21 fw you download and find the file named "blob" and put blob on the root of you primes INTERNAL MEMORY
5. Make sure all prime drivers are installed (should install by themselves , mine did) then open my modded viperMOD (thanks viperboy) and connect transformer prime. Select option 1 in modded viperMOD tool to downgrade tablet (in your case upgrade, it just manually apply's the blob file (firmware) )
6. Should reboot to .21 then restore root with OTA Rootkeeper if wanted
Hope it works
You can't manually update or you'll lose root. Unless you have tested this yourself I'll stick with where I am. I was on 9.4.2.15, manually upgraded to .21 as I have Unknown Serial problems, LOST ROOT. Currently downgraded to 9.4.2.14.
Aka, downgrade to 9.4.2.XX. Root. Protect Root, Use the tool to upgrade to .21. Restore Root. If you can show me video evidence of this, I will do it. Otherwise, it would be a waste of my time as I would have to downgrade AGAIN and stay where I am.

I was on .21 downgraded to .15, then rooted, then installed OTA rootkeeper to backup root, updated to .21 OTA then restored root with OTA rootkeeper, and im now on .21 rooted with out a unlocked prime. This has also been stated by many others.
The Blob files are NOT the OTAs as far as I can tell from what I have read.
I can NOT receive OTA Updates from ASUS while connected to the internet on my Tablet. I have an UNKNWON SERIAL NUMBER on my TF201.
An Unknown Serial Number prohibits me from being pushed OTAs by ASUS.

doing the manual update is like doing the OTA updates
you keep all your information on your prime hence you can just use the root keeper to restore root
of course we're just trying to help you but if you refuse to listen to us and want us to spend time to prove to you that something works when you can always try your self, then never mind just stay on your firmware that you're on @[email protected];

Again, lets go over this ONE more time since people can not seem to read and think EVERYONE on the internet is wrong.
THE BLOB FILES ARE NOT OTA UPDATES! THEY ARE MANUAL UPDATES AND YOU CAN NOT KEEP ROOT IF YOU USE THEM!
If someone can show a know developer saying different, THAN I will believe you. Until than, I will go with the assumption that, again, BLOB files are manual updates. I do NOT want to waste time to have to do everything over again on my Prime and risk bricking it AGAIN. I already risked it once by downgrading.
bimbobo said:
It worked finally, but I wasted my time.
I installed WW15, rooted it, save the root with OTA RK, reinstalled 21WW but OTA RK did not restore the saved root. Either I cannot OTA RK correctly, or you cannot root 21 at all. I do not get that somebody reported they could restore 21 root, maybe they are unlocked.
I need to decide to stay with 15 or rest in peace with 21 not rooted.

No, I'm asking how you went from 15 to 21. Did you let it update over the air or did you manually update via an SDcard update? Just wondering because Root Keeper only works for OTA updates from what I understand. For example, I was on version 15, rooted with this tool, installed Root Keeper, backed up root, and when the update came it installed automatically, and I just had to go back into Root Keeper and restore root.
EDIT: just noticed this
I think this is your problem. It's an OTA Root Keeper. You did not update OTA

Now PLEASE, stop suggesting that I install .21 using a BLOB file off my SDCard. It's making me feel bad having to prove you wrong. All I want to know is if it is possible to intercept ASUS' OTA Updates so that people like ME can make use of them.

im downloading this old firmware to comare it to the manual blob to see if its just a case of putting the blob in the cache folder :S
we would just need someone with a non .21 prime to download the ota for us
It looks promising, but it doesn't seem like anyone has contributed to that method in over a month.
without trying to get your hopes up im returning mine tomorrow if i dont find a solution tonight i did find this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22928122
a direct link to asus ota update for 8.6.5.21 -> 9.2.1.11 US
im going to check out whats in this zip, and see if i can find an ota link for ww, if i find one for .21 its worth you trying, you can allways downgrade again.
i went from .21 to .11 to .21 to 8.8.3.33 now im back at .15, lol
You can download FOTAKILL.apk and install it in /system/data and it will no longer OTA.
Did it for the Xoom on 4.0.3 Team EOS 1.0. Works perfect. Will work on the Lemon TF201 as well.

You can go to Asus.com and download the .21 updated zip file. If you unzip it you will find the blob file there. You will have to manually update but you will lose root. OTA root keeper wont work for this method.
If you want to intercept, accept the OTA download but dont install it. Go to your cache folder (I forget the sub folder maybe someone can chime in) and there you will find the dlpkxxxxx file. I assume if you copy that file into another Prime in the same directory that the tab will assume you have just downloaded an update and will install it as if it were OTA. Then you may be able to use OTA rootkeeper to restore root afterwards. I haven't tried this myself so just a theory.

im going to get mine rma'd or replaced this afternoon,
when i get a working one back ill get a copy of the OTA from my cache folder, i feel this may be a way for unknown serial number units to get .21 with root!
i may be getting mine fixed but i will still strive to get a fix for this situation.
Believe me ive upgraded and downgraded to and from .21 about 10 times sofar so its still worth trying.
Again, the updates from ASUS on their website, which are the blob files people are passing around for things like downgrades and such ARE NOT THE SAME THING AS AN OTA UPDATE.
An OTA Update is smaller than the blob files by a LOT. The OTAs are like less than 100 MB for the incremental updates. The updates on ASUS's website are over 300MB.
calm down, im sorry if i didnt say it right, im only human, i am going to get the ota update that downloads to the cache folder which as you say is smaller than the asus blob, i fully understand this, i spent all last night looking for the asus OTA 9.4.2.21 update, the best i could find is one to update to 9.4.2.11.
I repeat, I do not mean the one from asus.com, i am refering to the ones the units automaticly notifys you that they are availble and you then download direct to device, allowing you to use ota root keeper.
i upgraded to .21 using wolfs method last night and confirm that root is not kept if you do it that way.
when i get a working unit i will help intercept where the update downloads to and get a copy from my device, even if it means downgrading multiple times till we get it right!

Did you even read my OP before I updated it? I have no problem with reading.
I can NOT receive OTA Updates. My Prime has an Unknown Serial Number. ASUS refuses to push OTA Updates to Primes that have the Unknown Serial Number.
I understand you cant receive OTA and thats a known problem ever since the first ICS build came around and Asus is well aware of it and I've been in this ATP forums since this tablet was release so I am well aware of that issue as well. My 1st prime was in Dec of last year. Anyway I was generalizing when I said "you" and I didnt mean YOU cause obviously you cant get the OTA. My main point was how it can be done. I have intercepted an OTA before and I have some saved and I've done it with my Acer a100 as well. We're all here to help each other out so you should be thankful instead of being an ass about it. People will less likely to help you in the future. Not gonna waste anymore time..but good luck and hope you get your problem sorted out.

Just use this tool and it'll root your tablet, even on the most recent release (.28). You don't need to be unlocked or anything. I ran it on the .28.5 beta build a while ago and it worked flawlessly.
Thanks a lot .
Edit - I've been a bit of an idiot. When I downgraded using Wolf's method I dowgraded to .15 WW edition on my US tab. I can't seem to update either OTA or manually with both WW and US edition of the .28 update. Anyone know if I can use Wolf's method to flash the .28 us update?
I have gone WW -> US -> WW with this method all on .21 and I was still able to get .28 update, so it shouldn't be a problem.

so you can confirm modding the build.prop will stop OTA updates?
When you then pull the update manually, I assume it then replace the build.prop back to stock.
has anyone tried putting back the build.prop file and seeing if the OTA is then triggered.
I lost my OTA update ability and I never knew build.prop file edits was the reason until now... news to me
AFAIK (correct me if i'm wrong): If you have modded build.prop, you should see ota update, but when you try updating, it will fail. But if you rever changes in build.prop, it should be fine. Same goes if you modify/remove any of stock apps.
When yoh do full update (downloaded from asus website) it should be fine.

The OTA update showed up in /cache. My device was notifying me of an update. I noticed the size of the update was ~24Mb so I searched for large files on my device and found it.
I was not able to extract the zip for some reason. I am glad you were able to.
We can't install this via fastboot since the zip doesn't have a "android-info.txt" file, maybe we can find out the way the phone use to install the zip to make and flash a zip for root
In terminal emulator I can't access /cache without root, can you?

10g finally arrived OTA tmob P769 i could not cancel it had to restart and 25MB file got installed. Hope it's the last one and rootable.
EDIT: Turns out the root was not the problem. It was the developer edition firmware. I flashed the new firmware from the OTA update separately and now I'm booting fine.
If you have this exact problem, unbrick instructions here:
Try using Phone Flash Tool from the Dell site, and this zip:
https://mega.co.nz/#!Vgw1CTYT!y1_tSTCMmzrhJSQy0lxwY59iyRhdJovC-IDMF25PB4k
It's the new boot firmware binaries packed in the developer edition firmware zip with the xml changed to point to the new files.
For the flashing process of this zip, start with the tablet completely off and disconnected, then in Phone Flash Tool, load the zip file, click "Start to flash" (the button near the bottom should be blue/clickable), then once it's counting attempts (attempt #0, attempt #1, etc.) then connect USB.

What is the process to unroot on our device?
Install es file explorer or root explorer.
Grant root access to the app.
in es you need to enable root explorer in the settings menu.
Go to
Code:
/system/bin
delete su (mine was not locate in here)
/system/xbin
delete su (mine was here)
/system/app/Superuser.apk delete this
SuperSu has a selection of uninstall options in the app's menus.

I've applied plenty of OTAs in the past to other devices on top of rooted systems, and never had a problem as bad as bootlooping.
(Not saying it's not my fault, as I knew there was a risk, I guess I was just running on a series of good luck, or maybe other companies write better OTA pre-checking features.)
good you mentioned this
supersu - complete unroot - update worked
i forgot to uninstall xposed - modifications where gone after reboot (batterie percentage etc. from gravitybox)

It's hard to say, as lollipop was just released, only you guys with lollipop can test and see.
Neither SDC nor myself have lollipop so we can't test.

On mine, I forgot to un-root with no issues, but it defaults to encrypting the tablet and now I can't re-root.
Hmm, I also had the developer firmware installed from their opensource site; maybe that's it? The only other thing would have been Busybox, I think...
EDIT: HEY IT WORKS! I just pulled the firmware binaries out of the update.zip, and flashed with xfstk-downloader, and now I'm on the Encrypting screen! Thanks!
old root method dont work :crying:

EDIT: Turns out the root was not the problem. It was the developer edition firmware. I flashed the new firmware from the OTA update separately and now I'm booting fine.
ORIGINAL POST:I just received the Lollipop OTA, and I installed it. I did not remove my Superuser installation or my Busybox installation first. Now I am bootlooping.
So, take this as a warning, do not install the OTA if you have modified your system.
Now I am going to try to find a way to fix this...

Will the same rooting procedure work fine after you have upgraded to Lollipop on the 7840? Wanted to try but not sure if everything will work. Also since i'm on a Mac the .bat file doesn't run out of the box...

@kage69 says no, only you guys with lollipop can confirm or deny if root works or not.

the tool flashes temp cwm but the tab dont boot to recovery
stays in bootloader where you can choose boot normal, power down and recovery
choosing recovery boots to stock recovery
there were errors while flashing, ill post them tomorrow
reading a book in bed on my lollipopped tab now
hope we can root it again, need that for customizations and airaudio
see u tomorrow
So how were you able to flash after bootlooping the first time when you tried to update with root? I cannot get into the bootloader or anything :silly:
Does any one have the ota so I can patch the stock firmware to investigate rooting it?
might be stored in cache i think
cant get to that without root

Exactly which binaries did you flash back? In the zip I see:
dnx_fwr_ann_a0-mofd_v1.bin
dnx_fwr_ann_a0-mofd_v1-DBG.bin
dnx_fwr_blackburn_preqs_preqs.bin
dnx_fwr_blackburn_qs_qs.bin
dnx_fwr_preqs.bin
dnx_fwr_qs.bin
ifwi_ann_a0-mofd_v1.bin
ifwi_ann_a0-mofd_v1-DBG.bin
ifwi_preqs.bin
ifwi_qs.bin
Currently rooted and on 5.2.7.3 but having issue with single sign on apps not working as well and NBC.
NBC saying that I need the latest software.
I unblocked the updates and let it do a system update, and rebooted and then it tries to get 5.2.7.4.
So it is updated as much as it can be as far as I know.
I think I can use TWRP to flash 5.2.7.4 and then magisk and still remain rooted if I read that correctly.
I just can't find this OS anywhere.
Can someone please help..??

If you unblocked the updates, the ota updater should download the update (bin) file to the box.
Wait until the update app says that the download is 100% ready, reboot into TWRP and take a look at cache partition for the bin file (with TWRP file manager).
PS: If you flash that update, root is probably gone, maybe you brick the box...
