[Q] Can't update to Jelly Bean :( - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Okay so for starters, my device's launcher is unlocked. I knew what this meant when I bought it, but the update process seemed simple enough especially because asus had step-by-step guides and put the files out just a few days after the update launches (like they did for Jelly Bean just recently).
But unfortunately, I can't figure out how to get it to work :-/ I've downloaded the zip folder and put the contents into the internal storage, checked for updates, rebooted, nothing though. Additionally I put the files on an SD card and it didn't do anything either.
How can I update my tablet? Pleaseeee any help would be greatly appreciated!
edit: this is the US sku

I recommend watching some how to videos. The update process won't work the typical way as you need to boot into recovery to flash it. I recommend a couple things.
Read up/watch videos on how to flash CWM or TWRP
Watch ab couple videos on how the flashing process works.

Did you unzip the file?

thanks, will i be able to flash an update without losing my data?
also will it work using the files that asus provides (the blob and META-INF folders)?

Quick question

Hi, got my prime yesterday, loving it so far
I've installed ICS, but then there was a firmware update for the camera in the Asus quick settings pane which I ignored as I was doing something else. Now that I want to install it, the message has gone, how do I install it? I've looked everywhere.
Cheers.

Go to the settings and look in the About sections and check the Firmware Update.
I tried that but nothing came up. I tried again and it worked. Just me being impatient.

I think you need to push it to system/app then reboot.

Hulu+ is now supported on Prime

Don't know if anyone has posted this yet. I just checked for it a couple days ago and it is now supported on the Prime. Enjoy!
Is your prime unlocked and rooted?
Still not working for my rooted and unlocked prime. Just wondering.
I'm having the same problem. I too am rooted and unlocked, very frustrating.

Yes I'm rooted but not unlocked. And the latest firmware update won't install on mine. It says it failed and is going back to last configuration.

You probably installed or un installed something from the system folder. Ota usually check that all the correct Components are available before an updated can be installdd .

I get the same thing on mine. Haven't figured out why this happens to some of us, and not others. Could it have to do with being boot loader unlocked? I don't really see how, but it's very annoying.

Bootloader may be the culprit...
Anyone with an unlocked bootloader able to get hulu running? :beer:
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
no I get the same error message with unlocked bootloader. One thing to try woulkd maybe be this: On aokp, if you use ota keeper to temp unroot, you are able to watch movies from google for an unknown reason. Maybe this works for hulu. I would try it but I am happily running virtous right now...

Yeah, I modifed to be able to connect to ad hoc. Other than that I don't think I've done anything else.
No issues streaming Hulu plus. Rooted and locked.

On .21 rooted only. I get device not supported. Even tried to temp unroot with OTA rootkeeper but no go.
Maybe try turning of "Force GPU rendering?"
Also have you tried completely uninstalling the apk through TB? I hear it's suppose to delete everything and not leave a trace of the app. Then reinstall. Maybe also make sure your Flash is up to date.

Thanks for the suggestions but didnt make a difference. Are you on .21 stock rooted?
My coworker has .21 not rooted and his works fine.

Can you root the S3 w/o a computer?

I recently bought an S3 on my vacation to another country and now I'm back in Sweden again, though very far from home (roughly 370 miles) and so I was wondering if it's possible to root the galaxy S3 without a computer nearby. I noticed Mobile Odin requires root to operate so it's out of the question.

So it would be possible if someone took the three required root files (superuser, su and possibly busybox), packed them in a flashable zip, it would work?

(Granted, usually I'd think such a task impossible as private keys are meant to be kept safe, but I'm curious as to how the GS2 got a signed zip)

Maybe individual signing would work with say zipsigner?

I'm sure this would have been tried. I tried to find a way. But there isn't one. Unless someone from Samsung does it

The thing is, though, unless Samsung's security on the recovery is lax and you can infact do this, you can't just take a ZIP and sign it with any key; it has to be with one that Samsung approves of, and if Samsung are doing their job well then these keys aren't available for everybody and anybody to use.
If you want to try, http://androidsu.com/superuser/ has signed ZIPs that probably contain a random key (like one you'd get with zipsigner) or you could try the signed CWM recoveries for the GS2 (which, IMO, seems just as unlikely to work)
Looks like I'll wait until I'm home at my PC, which I should be this Friday.

Prompting to downgrade AFTER JB update?

So, stock, unlocked, rooted, well partial root after update but that's a different problem. After the recent JB update it is prompting me to install a system update to "US_epad-user-9.4.2.28 dated 6/13/12 10:03:02". This is persistent in the status bar after every boot, and pops up constantly. Same thing on my wife's tablet. Am I correct in assuming I do not want to apply this? How the hell do I make it go away?
Thanks in advance.

are you sure you don't have that file on the SD card inserted ?
Damn! That was it. I had forgot the last update failed on our tablets and I had to manually download and install. So simple I completely overlooked it. Many thanks!
