Help Download latest firmware

s_special · Apr 8, 2012

About 2 days ago I came across a post from a member on this Site saying that tech support had informed them that a firmware update was available. I looked into it and it seems to have ended all my issues with my transformer. I haven't experienced a single reboot and bluetooth does not disconnect.

First you will need a SD card preferably blank or enough space for 700 megabytes

Go to:
Support.Asus.com
In the search bar to the right type in TF101
Click download below the TF101
Select android for OS
Select firmware
Scroll down to " Version V9.2.1.17(US)"
Select "Global (DLM)"
Save to SD card
With the app astro file manager extract the file from the zip (keep it on the SD card) when completed, if a ! Does not appear in the notification bar safely eject the SD card and pop it back in. It should recognize the firmware file automatically.
Finally it will do its thing

Good luck!!

I still am without a single reboot after 3 days when I was getting a couple per day before

Hi,

I haven't got my tablet yet (UK) but I will probably have to upgrade to ICS which I will do when I turn it on for the first time. Should I download it via wifi on the tablet setting or should I go to the asus website and download it from there (something suggested by someone on another forum but not tried it themselves)?

If you can get it OTA its the same thing

eddiewawa · Apr 10, 2012

well thats sorted out the browser and its java blank screen issue!

ty!

s_special · Apr 11, 2012

Days later, still without a random reboot. I did have bt cut off once in the past couple of days when it use to happen a few times daily before.

aztimmay · Apr 11, 2012

Well I had that version from the OTA update and was getting random reboots and freezes several times a day. I just tried the update from the site just to see if it makes any difference (which I doubt it will). I'll let you know how it goes.

fldude99 · Apr 11, 2012

I can't imagine this would do anything. Is it not the same firmware as what was OTA?

ams30gts · Apr 12, 2012

This is the same firmware version that we got OTA before right? Looks like I already have it.

Podivin · Apr 12, 2012

Does this keep your personal data & apps, or is it a complete system wipe?

eddiewawa · Apr 12, 2012

Well it technically is the same one but after manually doing it again,ive not seen the issue since? Browsing seems snappier too...

s_special · Apr 13, 2012

That's what I'm saying

McDubbs · Apr 13, 2012

I too have been suffering from sluggish browsing, and screen blanking when backing home. I am leery on running that firmware, as it appears as though it's not for the US TF101's!

s_special · Apr 13, 2012

I give up trying to help

There is more than one version there, for different countries/regions. Just scroll down until you find the one for the U.S.

Doit2it · Apr 14, 2012

OK, I'll bite. Friday evening I manually reinstalled 9.2.1.17 on top of the identical OTA. Only time will tell, but so far so good.

UPDATE: Well I had hopes, but this method didn't work for me. About 30 hours after the manual update I picked up my TF and it was in a boot screen freeze. Power had gone from 79% to 26% in the 7 hours between uses. Oh well.

vulcangrey · Apr 15, 2012

I tried this as well. Worked fine for 48 hours and then rebooted and was stuck at loading screen.

insekticide · Apr 16, 2012

I would be interested if s_special still hasn't had any problems. Thx.

s_special · Apr 16, 2012

no believe it or not i still have not experienced a random reboot.

eddiewawa · Apr 18, 2012

im the same as s_special, not had a stuck screen in over 2 weeks now...

blueadvocate · Apr 21, 2012

Same here, did wake lock and installed auto airplane mode. Reckon I've had one instance of the sound issue and one or two battery drains.

Doit2it · Apr 21, 2012

Trying auto airplane mode now. Had one battery drain. It seems that if you "put" the TF101 to sleep (press the power button) vs letting it fall asleep you are less likely to have issues. Not sure thou. I hope ASUS is still working on it, either than or let us go back to HC!

On XDA they say that a test patch has been released to a select number of users

eddiewawa · Apr 23, 2012

SOAB...and boom there she goes into random reboot lol

antron007 · Apr 23, 2012

My tf101 is only a week or so old and auto updated right out of the box and I've had none of the issues i keep reading about. No screen blanking and definitely no reboots or boot loops. I just rooted it yesterday. Haven't tried out any roms yet.
It did take me all weekend to get root though. I've included a link in my Sig for anyone who may need it.

(In case the sig doesnt show or work)
