Got the same thing going on here. I downgraded to GB to get the OTA since the RUU gave me problems. All I got was a small update that says its for getting my device ready for ICS.
Nevermind, Just did a check and its downloading! If it helps I switched to CDMA only, then back to LTE/CDMA, checked, and baboom

It could be that the update just hasn't been pushed to your phone yet.

Had the same issue after RUUing back to GB and what fixed it for me was a factory data reset in bootloader. Checked for update after it rebooted and found the OTA without issue. Hope that helps.
Mine would not update until almost charged. I don't know if that made a difference. But soon as I unplugged it, it started the ota

Ok so I'm pretty new to the android scene. Today I got a notice that I had a update so I unrooted because of people saying that if updating while rooted it will brick then I clicked apply update. My phone then rebooted and said up date failed. Im guessing from the lack of cell reception. Does any one know how to try again if I check for updates it says no firmware thankyou in advanced

There are a couple of ways to do it,
1) force your system to check for update
2) use ODIN to manually update, you can grab the software from the development section in the bible.
ok i tried to force update but it doesnt do anything then i tried to clear the data from the Device management app and check for updates again and it says system not ready check network or sim so im guessing i should just wait it out to see if they push it again. i would rather stay away from the sdk area i just got the phone out of the black screen of death today.
I take it you can 3 finger salute your phone if needed?
I personally feel the easiest thing to do is update it through mini Kies. If you need further instructions on how to do it, let me know.
I'm gonna hold off for a week because tmobile is sending me a new phone for some other issues I'm having but how would I update through mini kies cuz the gps on this phone takes so long so when I get the new phone I'm gonna fix that

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?

That may be a good sign that they are trying to fix it
From what I read it has to be above 15%.

Tried at 30 with my phone tethering, but no luck, will give a try at home once it's fully charged (Currently at work)
Damn... I was super excited about the update already being out. Something tells me I'm going to have to wait a while now.
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.

I'm showing a serial in status and last time I tried updating my battery was at 85%. Sounds like it's suspended...

Yep, got my TFP this afternoon. Came home tried to update and it says nothing available. Connected to marketplace/google. I have a serial number, so its their side.

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.
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 !!!!!

I got the update in bed last night at 20% battery and installed fine. You may have a bad download, redownload and try again.

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.
Changing APN from default blocks OTA and OTA notifications. Copy default minus fota and save then select the new one.
Edit...if you already have the notification this will probably not remove it.
Thank you for this very useful information:good:
Removing fota does nothing.
Setup the new apn your way, then rebooted. OTA still appear still starts with the phone. You need to freeze two services using Titanium Bkup to ensure OTA is disabled. Did it this way, worked for about 2 days without any notice. Fool mproof.

Are you going to share which two services you froze? That would be useful information for the rest of us. Thanks

This worked for me on att, see screenshot E97010o is the updated firmware I am still on the original.
Here guys
Froze these!!!
I'm on the base.05.
I bought my phone on Black Friday and was too busy to mess with it that day. I had WiFi on and overnight it updated itself from version E97010l (IIRC) to E97010o. I haven't had time to read the full FreeGee thread but I believe I have to wait for the unlock method/tool to be updated. Wish I saw this sooner as I assumed it would require me to select to install the OTA update

Good to know! I planned on going through the thread later after work.
So, just by removing "fota", you are protected from OTA? Any side effects from this mod? I want to know that fota's only function is OTA on the phone, can anyone confirm?

Went to check on any software updates on my Galaxy Mega GT-i9152, (as you do), and the message "Your device has been modified updates are not available" appears.
Now, I know when I first got the phone, (around 1 month ago), there was an update to it. This was after I'd checked via System, About, Software Updates.
I have NOT rooted this device. Not messed with it in any way, shape or form, it is in fact as stock, like the day I took it out of the box.
I have posted pics of the Firmware details etc.
All very strange.
Strange..!!! Why it show?? I think here no update available.. Not sure..
Did you get it as a "refurbished" device?

No, brand new.
As I said earlier, when I first turned it on, I immediately did a software check to see if there were any updates. There was one. No message about being "modified"..and status was Official.
Then checking earlier today, it says it's modified.

That is just too weird. My ATT Mega is only rooted. I still can check for official updates- Not that there is any!!!!!!!!! I don't get those messages about being custom. Also, If I don't have my att sim card in the phone when I check, the check for update gets interupted and never completes.
Now on my Note 8, which is rooted with a custom recovery I do get those "modified" device pop ups. I think it's the custom recovery that does it.
