Where is Jelly Bean?

i just got my update. it was around nine in the morning. it took about 10~15 minutes or so. after the update it's looking to run alittle better. heck a whole lot better. games like tapsonic and cytus are much much smoother, and bowsering and looking though the things on the tablet is much more relaxed and a lovely treat to go through. hope everyone else is happy with this update.

Hi guys and girls.

I am looking forward to the JB update here in the uk (nothing as of yet though), but just wanted to know, my prime is rooted, and i am assuming the update will break root, i have Voodoo OTA root keeper installed, is this going to be sufficient? Or is it a case of update, and then re-root? any help would be greatly appreciated.:thinking:

Thanks, Steve.

A LOT of people on G+ are reporting a download failure. I've tried dozens of times with no luck. I've rebooted a couple of times to see if that made a difference but again, no luck. What's even more strange is that the JB update for any country doesn't appear on ASUS' website.

Maybe their devices are rooted?

I downloaded and installed this morning. All was fine. It took a total of 10 minutes.

I set up a few things, but haven't played with the device.

Yeah, I tried that.
The update failed to even appear after a reboot.
It's as though the update no longer exists for my device.....as though there never was an update.

Same here! I am rooted, but don't expect that's causing the problem.

One thing to check...I was running a modified gps.conf file to improve GPS performance. I switched back to the original file but still no luck.

Something to keep in mind for anyone who is using that GPS fix. Go back to the original file, or it'll likely cause problems for updates in general.

I've been trying for the past 24 hours without success. I just sent a message to Gary to find out if the issue is due to overwhelmed servers. If I hear back from him, I'll post it here.

Have you tried clearing data in settings, in manage applications then reboot the tablet.

This worked for me then I was able to download the update. After it was finished, I did a factory reset of the tablet and this thing flies now. No issues whatsoever although Bad Piggies is force closing but I'm sure that's on Rovio's side
