need help updating to 4.3 - Asus Transformer TF701

so i'm trying to flash a new rom on my device using the methods in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2608129
i've unlocked the device successfully and i'm trying to flash CWM 6.0.4.7 on it via instructions here:
http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3260
but the instructions state: "-You must be on 10.26.1.18 bootloader (updating to ASUS’s latest 4.3 release will install this). It is best to update to this build (10.26.1.18) via MicroSD update method (as outlined on ASUS’s site) as some users have reported that it doesn’t get installed via OTA."
i downloaded the correct file from the asus website, inserted my SdCard, transfered it to the tablet and unziped it in the root directory of the SD then rebooted.
it's not updating the tablet at all. what am i doing wrong?
here is my build number: JDQ39.US_epad-10.14.1.44-20131002
here is the file i downloaded from asus: US_epaduser_10_26_1_18_UpdateLauncher
sorry issues is fixed can't delete this message.
i didnt realize the tablet needs to be on when you insert the MicroSD, I had it off.

Need stock rom

I flashed 5.0 ages ago since I live in NZ and I heard that I can get the official version now so I need to return to stock somehow so I can install the latest update, so does anyone have a stock rom or a method to return to stock and still be able to receive the updates
See any response by the forum member "reefuge" - his signature contains a stock ROM link.
For example, in my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/help/xt1068-ota-lollipop-update-failing-t3035150
try to flash the rom via fastboot, using the commands on 4.2 on this thread
You need a XML zip of the rom , to have the XML zip of yours rom search in here and download the file regards yours model and OS version that you wanna...
download is very slow, here a mirror but the mirror is incomplete.
download, unzip, to the some folder of mfastboot and give the commands a try, while the phone is conected via USB to the PC in the bootloader screen, you must have motorola driver update, to know if you have the drivers, just plug the phone on normal on mode, and see if you can copy and past files to the phone...
If you follow this procedure you will erase everything on the phone, so do a backup...
To receved a OTA update, you will need to have everything on stock so no root no custom recovery, the bootloader state don't matter. :fingers-crossed: :good:

Looking for flashable system image

Hello wonder if anybody can help
I'm looking for a flashable system image for the ASUS ME70CX.
I'm working on a ex-Demo version of the tablet with custom firmware installed for demo usage.
I downloaded the latest firmware from ASUS UL-K01A-ww-12.2.3.28-user.zip
I've erased cache ,userdata and system
From the downloaded firmware I've flashed boot.img ,fastboot.img ,and splashscreen.img
I tried to create a system image using a rooted normal version following online details copying partition mmcblk0p9 and then used sparseconverter to fix a sparse error.
But I get an error says folder not found on the device in recovery (fastboot).
So the first question would be have I copied the correct partition ?
Failing that is there a working system image I can download ?
cheers
Did you find a solution? I tried to update my sons ME170CX/K01A tablet with the download from the Asus website and now it wont boot up. I can get it into droidboot, but dont know what to do from there. I just need to get it working again. I've tried to update with fast boot but it says
error: update package has no android-info.text or android-product text.
I've also placed the update on an SD card and gone to recovery from droid boot but it does nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm just not familiar with using fast boot. I been trying for a couple days now, and I'm not finding what to do from here. Just that i should be able to flash from droid boot.
Edit: I found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/instructions-reviving-me170c-me170cx-t3017466
I found the update for the CX/K01A that had the same software image version as listed in the OP and followed every step as described, with the exception of the download and renamed it to K01A_sdupdate. This all started a couple days ago when I replaced the main board because the micro usb port got ripped off the board. I was much cheaper than sending off for repair and easier for me to buy a used unit with a busted screen from eBay. When I got it all together and working it would not update from 4.3, after all I have done and following the instructions here in the OP it is now on 4.4.2. This is right where it was with the original board. Since he only uses it for games and downloaded movies I'm not messing with it anymore now that its working properly. He'll just have to start over with his games.

Assuming it works the same way as the ME70CX.
First is to get the correct firmware version as not all the ones listed are compatible with all versions for a one hit update.
EG the original version I downloaded wouldn't update / install from the SD card but v10.32.1.33.3 will but it'll then update OTA to v11 .
Download the update , extract the zip files until you get to the last one eg UL-K01A-ww-10.32.1.33.3-user.zip
Rename it K01A_sdupdate.zip
This will now update from the SD card.
If you have erased the unit extract the img files from this file and flash them , then update from the SD card and reboot and it'll work again.
But you need the correct version. I went for the one that was installed in another unit or it updated to on it's first update.
So if you can boot the original chassis up and look at the software version then download the closest on to that.
If you do this to an ex-display model it'll still be in Demo mode afterwards but search for ASUS Retail site and it'll tell you everything you ever need to know about their software for retail operation. Same applies to Samsung . Samsung retail website again has everything you'll ever need to know.

Problems with flashing / rooting

Hello,
english powered by google
I desperately my Xperia SP on Android is trying to switch 4.4. Unfortunately, most Totourials are useless, alone because very often missing files or they are just out of date.
After so many problems I managed to flash my Xperia. Unfortunately nothing had the desired effect due to the files.
Currently I have the following problem which I do not get resolved:
I have loaded with the Flash tool the Cyanogenmod bootfile via fastboot, earlier I had installed CWM course with USB debugging and deactivated Bootlock. ect.
Unfortunately, he did not start the CWM but the CyanogenMod and I did not have the possibility to install the ZIP file on the SD card. Instead, I've obviously just all deleted.
Currently I have no system, but only the CyanogenMod. A flash on Standart is suddenly no longer possible FAILED (remote: Download size too large). Even when I extracted the System.sin I had problems to start them in fastboot mode.
I had previously done with older files, unfortunately the installation was on the ZIP file in recovery mode error. Why I have updated the files and all programs.
Restoring the standard firmware previously ran flawlessly ...
So I really do not go on and am really desperate.
I very much hope that my one helps the more clueless than me.
Best regards,
Ben
So i assume you now have installed official sony firmware? If yes , and you have unlocked bootloader then all you have to do is install twrp recovery(TWRP recovery for Xperia SP), then download Custom rom(i.e Cyanogenmod-Cyanogenmod builds for Xperia SP), if you like also google apps(OpenGapps) and install trough recovery. It might seem difficult, i know i did not explain it very good but its late... If you have any question or you want me to write a tutorial how to install cyanogenmod step by step just tell me.
Edit: even if you cant access the system it will be easy to install cyanogenmod
Problem Solved:
Flashtool was the Problem. I used the newest Version. After a Downgrade to 9.8.16 it worked.
Thank You very much

How to update firmware with TWRP installed?

So I unlocked my bootloader and installed TWRP on the p20pro. Just received status that there's full update available. I downloaded and try to install, but the phone would boot into recovery and nothing happens. How should I go about updating the firmware on the device with TWRP?

Either reflash the stock recovery or keep TWRP and use HuRUpdater Tool (search for it here on XDA)

Hi.Same issue. Does reflash stock recover wipe all my datas ?
How to use HuruUpdater as ther current TWRP does not allow to access on local files (no decryption).
THanks
JP
here's the details
- Unlock bootloader from Huawei : http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/unlock/index
- (It's still possible to unlock the bootloader. Just send an email to your local support or tweet them (HuaweiUK). They'll ask you for some info and send you the unlock code. Took me two days to get the code)
- TWRP : https://forum.xda-developers.com/hua...2-1-0-t3779400
- hurupdater_0.3.zip https://forum.xda-developers.com/hon...overy-t3769279 also works perfectly for P20 Pro
Magisk file (if you want to get rooted) https://******************/Magisk/Magisk-v16.0.zip
Now, get patient, an old man did it!
In future direct links for our CLT-L29 european(C432)..
http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-databa...irmware_page=0
Click on FullOTA-MF (only!) and click on filelist I had to click several times on filelist to get the links to the 3.zip files needed (thinks to Tecalote for his patience!)
So, the difficult part was to rename the.zip files( I went to #32, page 4 and renamed exactly like it was : Download firmware files (for official firmware use Huawei Firmware Finder).
1. Put files you want to flash in a seperate folder on sdcard.
Supported zip files to flash are (name must match):
o update.zip (use FullOTA file)
o update_full_hw.zip
o update_data_full_public.zip
2. Optional: Put recovery.img (rename your TWRP downloaded "recovery_ramdisk twrp_clt_0.1.img") in same folder if you want to keep custom recovery.
3. Put HuRUpdater zip in same folder. Example:
4. Select only HuRUpdater to flash in custom recovery.
5. Follow instructions on screen. Flashing can take multiple minutes.
Then I followed exactly step by step.
It didn’t work and I had error messages flashing with hurupdater_0.3.zip:
No update_data_public.zip found in /sdcard/”name of your folder”
No update_all_hw.zip in /sdcard/”name of your folder”
As you can see the name of the .zip files did’nt match #32.
I renamed exactly as asked to get rid of the error messages, and BINGO!

Update CLT-L29 8.1.0.128(C432) with TWRP already installed
Update CLT-L29 8.1.0.128(C432) with TWRP already installed
Hello,
Many thanks to all of your for your kind support , so I intend to create a summary of what I did, hoping it could help others !
I had already unlock previsouly my Bootloader (of course, else this topic would not exist) via Unlock bootloader from Huawei :https://emui.huawei.com/en/unlock_detail
I already had TWRP and Magisk installed and wanted to get the latest official firmware for my P20-PRO-CLT-L29(C432) - > CLT-L29 8.1.0.128(C432).
When intending to update (from my phone), it could not work (I allways boot back to TWRP), upgrade failed.

Start with : Do your Backup !
Removed then all security (screen unlock in developper mode =0) , no pin, no pattern, no password, no fingerprint, no faceunlock
Download the following set of files (that I've uploaded and ready to use) : https://mega.nz/#F!pEpRDB7R!pmPDjlqgtdHTs39gyLdJhg
(nota : my upload is quite slow, so please wait some hours before it is available)
It contains : HuRUpdater_0.3.zip, Magisk-v16.4-Beta.zip, twrp_clt_0.1.img, recovery.img
, update.zip, update_all_hw.zip, update_data_public.zip
- On your phone create a folder including all files from the package above.
- Boot in TWRP
- Install : HuRUpdater zip from the folder where you had put all files (no issue with decryption, at least in my case)
Nota : I had almost an heart attack during installation as it did a reference to CLT-09... not CLT-29 but it works and this despite some strange error messages.
When achieved : wipe/cache dalvik.
Phone will reboot and optimize the apps.
In my case, I lost my root access and TWRP, so I've done it again, but normally it was supposed to stay when using HurUpdater
Install TWRP (again if needed) :
- Start your device in fastboot mode
- Install the recovery using the following command : fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp_clt_0.1.img
Restart with this command: fastboot reboot
Important : As soon as you execute the restart command,remove the USB cable and keep pressing Volume UP, so the device will boot to TWRP. This is to avoid that the device boot to OS,overwritting TWRP recovery.
Reboot again in recovery
(re)Install : Magisk-v16.4-Beta.zip
Have fun,
JPh

You lost twrp because you didn't rename the file as recovery.img

THANK YOU! THIS WORKED SO PERFECTLY!
Until now, I tried the following:
Back up my data and apps to SD card with EMUI Backup App
Download OTA update (it first downloads the incremental ~100-200MB update) and click install
This doesn't work of course - TWRP tries to execute the update command but dies with error messages
Reboot, try downloading/installing updates again, the downloader then downloads the -FULL update
Extract recovery.img from update.zip>update.app
Flash stock recovery over TWRP
Initiate update again from Update App (System Settings)
Update runs smoothly, but bootloader is locked again afterwards
Restore from backup, flash TWRP again, flash SuperSU again
BUT THIS IS MARVELOUS! I will only lose SuperSU and Xposed, and given that HuRUpdater is provided with the correct filenames including TWRP renamed to recovery.img, I will just have to install SuperSU and Xposed again after updating the firmware.
It worked flawlessly with the stock firmware files from update.hicloud.com, and you'll usually find all the links a few hours after the release somewhere on the internet.

I have a few questions regarding this method to update :
Do I need to make a new backup using twrp after this update since the system files changed due to the update? (correct if i'm wrong i'm a previous iphone owner this my first android device)
Is the any method to force update 8.0 even it will erase every thing and after that just flash twrp and restore backup (i think all the methods mentioned are complicated for me)

Hi, I have the same problem but with my Huawei P10Lite WAS L1XA with firmware oreo installed from the phone and on reboot enters twrp mode.
Can I ask you to look for the files for my model?
(I spent three hours looking for those files but I could not find anything) ...

Is there a step by step tutorial on how to root US version of ROG2?

Any thread that shows how to update to latest firmware and have root on WW rom or US version?
I know I have to patch the boot img through magisk. But how can I get the boot img? I have the US version and my build number is different from everything listed on ASUS website.
I don't see that firmware on the Asus site, maybe it never auto updated on initial setup. I rooted on 1907.33 firmware so maybe try updating to that then root.
1. Download firmware WW-16.0622.1907.33 from Asus to the root of your phone (take it out of download folder and put directly in internal memory no folder)
2. Reboot the phone, upon reboot you will be asked to install the updated firmware. Install and reboot.
To root;
3. Sign out of google account
4. Download and install Asus bootloader unlocker apk HERE
(this will wipe your device so backup anything you need on the phone first. Also the phone may boot twice DO NOT press power button to pause the boot process)
5. Now your bootloader is unlocked and 1907.33 firmware installed you can follow this guide to root the device. (since you are on 1907.33 start at step 4. Only do steps 4-7 in this guide)
To udate to latest firmware;
6. Delete the previous firmware 1907.33 you just downloaded on internal memory. Download the new WW-16.0631.1908.12 and put it in internal memory no folder.
7. Follow this guide HERE
