Having this info up front instead of buried on page 15 would be super handy for others in the future, possibly.
Firmware From Sd Card Recovery Samsung Update And AdjustI took the liberty to update and adjust this still valuable post a little bit.
I take just as much responsibility for the method below as the OP: NONE YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK Yours truly, droidbound This is an alternative install method of the official Asus firmware if you cannot update via OTA for whatever reason. This also works for flashing the firmware if your tablet does not boot anymore or is in a bootloop. You can downgrade (going back to an earlier firmware version) with this method, but be careful: Research the limitations for your particular tablet. It is STRONGLY advised you backup all apps and data before performing this procedure. It should not wipe your data, but there is always a chance something may go wrong. Better safe than sorry Prerequisites: Asus Transformer tablet TF101, TF201, TF300T, TF700T, TF701T (also Asus Memo Pad 10) A fully charged battery (if youre unsure because you cannot boot the device, plug it into Power when the procedure allows it) A copy of the Asus firmware from here see post 2) Everything you care about is backed up There are two ways to flash the official Asus firmware: Method A: Flash from your internal SD 1. To find your SKU go into settings, About tablet, and look for your Build Number, There are two letters (such as US,WW, TW, etc.) that is your SKU. Firmware From Sd Card Recovery Samsung Zip From ASUSWhen downloading the zip from ASUS, you must download the correct SKU zip. The downloaded file is a zip within a zip. You download xxepaduserversionUpdateLauncher.zip. ![]() Copy user.zip to the root of your internal SD. ![]() If the pop-up does not show up, try rebooting your device. If you still have no luck go to Method B). Let the update finish, it will automatically reboot the tablet. Method B: Flash from a microSD (has to be formatted FAT32 or it will not work) 1. Make sure known file extensions are not hidden in Windows explorer. A common mistake is to rename the file to e.g. EP201768SDUPDATE.zip.zip If you see only xxepad-user-version in Windows Explorer without the extension, rename the file to e.g. EP201768SDUPDATE 5. Copy the file to the root of your MicroSD (see above) 6. Power it on by pressing and holding VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons simultaneously 9. Let go when you see white text in the top left corner of the screen. You are now in the bootloader menu where you will see 3 icons (4 icons if you are on a ICS bootloader): RCK, Android, Wipe Data ( USB icon if still on ICS). If it happens to run for more than 45 minutes, force shut down the tablet and see if it boots. TF201 Users: It is very likely the same procedure as for the TF300 and TF700. Rooted only, no custom recovery: You can use these methods as long as you did not uninstall any system apps or bloatware. The updater script checks for the presence of all original software. OTA rootkeeper may or may not work Users with custom ROM and custom recovery TF700T, TF300T: You can flash the user.zip in TWRP or CWM to return to fully stock. Flash a stock recovery from Droidbasement, then flash the user.zip. That did the trick for me (on the Asus Memo Pad Smart 10 or whatever they call it, aka ME301T, aka K001).
