ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity (TF700T) Gets Official CM10 Nightlies

Posted by in News, Transformer Pad Infinity

If you own ASUS' first full HD tablet - the Transformer Pad Infinity - the custom ROM scene just got quite a bit better for you. Why, you ask? Because the TF700T is now officially support by CyanogenMod, and the first CM10 nightly is already available.

Of course, in order to flash this you'll need to unlock the bootloader, which, in turn, voids the warranty. It's also worth noting that once you abandon ASUS' stock firmware, there's currently no way to go back, despite the fact that ASUS makes the update blobs available (I learned this the hard way with the TF201).

Full Official Jelly Bean ROMs For The Prime And Infinity Ready To Download From ASUS' Website

Posted by in Eee Pad Transformer Prime, News, Transformer Pad Infinity

Late last week, ASUS began pushing Jelly Bean to the Transformer Prime, and it followed up by doing the same for the Infinity this week. That's great for users running stock systems with locked bootloaders, but if you don't fall into that camp, then you get no OTA love from ASUS. Now, though, they have made available the full stock ROMs for both tablets.

The ROMs, which are Android 4.1.1, can be flashed using any custom recovery - simply unzip the download and drop the contents onto your device's storage partition. From there, flash it just like any other ROM.

Jelly Bean Now Rolling Out To The ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity (TF700T) In The US

Posted by in Jelly Bean 4.1, News, Transformer Pad Infinity

Last week, ASUS promised Jelly Bean to TF201 and TF700 owners, and while the former got its update right on time, there was an issue that prevented the update from being pushed to the latter. As a result, ASUS said the update would be available "early next week." Here we are, about as early as it can possibly get in the new week, and the OTA has already begun rolling out.

1

As expected, it brings Android 4.1.1 and all the enhancements that come along with it, including Project Butter and Google Now.

You can pull the update by heading into Settings > About tablet > System Firmware Update > Check now.

Transformer Pad Infinity Jelly Bean Update Delayed In The US And Canada - Should Be Available 'Early Next Week'

Posted by in News, Transformer Pad Infinity

Just yesterday, ASUS promised both TF201 and TF700 owners their Jelly Bean updates on September 28th and 29th, respectively. While they owned up to that for the Prime, the Infinity isn't so lucky: they just had to push the update back.

According to ASUS rep Gary Key, "a couple of applications that were recently updated (Facebook 1.9.10 on 9/20 as one example) required a last minute firmware update for the keyboard to operate correctly in the "Comment" area with Android 4.1."

It's not all bad, though - the update should still begin rolling out early next week. Personally, I'd rather wait a few more days for a fully working OS than have to deal with a buggy system right now, anyway.

ASUS Releases Changelog For Prime And Infinity Jelly Bean Update, Rolling Out In The US On September 27th And 28th Respectively

Posted by in Eee Pad Transformer Prime, News, Transformer Pad Infinity

I love how fast ASUS moves. When they say an update is coming, you can rest assured that it's coming soon. Just this morning they teased us a bit on Facebook, and ASUS rep Gary Key took to XDA to let users know that the Jelly Bean updates for the Prime and Infinity would be rolling out "within 72 hours."

Now, this evening, they've published a rollout schedule and full changelog for both devices:

  • Upgrade OS from Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) to Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean)
  • Default enable System Bar Lock
  • Add Multiple Photo Selection feature
  • Support Connect Dock (Accessory)
  • Remove Adobe Flash support
  • Remove Wi-Fi Direct function support
  • Remove Press Reader

It's also noted that Press Reader, should you actually use it, will still be available in the Play Store.

[Update: Within 72 Hours] ASUS: 'We Will Soon Be Rolling Out The Android 4.1 Update For The Transformer Pad Infinity And Prime'

Posted by in ASUS, Eee Pad Transformer Prime, News, Transformer Pad Infinity

When ASUS announced the Jelly Bean update for the Transformer Prime in Sweden yesterday, there were two questions that immediately popped up: what about the rest of the world? and when will the Infinity get updated?

We now have answers to both, even if in the simplest of terms: soon.

Update: ASUS rep Gary Key took to the XDA forums to give users a better timeline of when the updates should begin rolling out. According to his post, the OTAs should start hitting within 72 hours. Nice.

ASUS posted today on its Facebook page that the JB update would be coming to the Prime and Infinity and for users to "watch this space." There's no exact word when the updates will begin rolling out, but the last time they publicly teased an OTA, it started rolling out a mere 12 hours later.

Minor Update (Build 9.4.5.30) Rolling Out To The ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity, Full ROM Also Available For Direct Download

Posted by in News, Transformer Pad Infinity
Last Updated: September 21st, 2012

A small update is now available for the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity that is very similar to the one we saw hit the Transformer Pad 300 way back in May. While most of the enhancements appear to be under the hood, this build brings Face Unlock, as well as improved camera firmware, a bump in GPS software, and a few others.

Those who have unlocked the bootloader and are running a custom recovery won't be prompted to install this update, but ASUS has already made it available for download on its website. You can grab the download here - make sure to get the appropriate build according to your region: WW, US, TW, JP, and CN.

Vodafone Germany Announces LTE-Packing Transformer Pad Infinity (TF700KL) Ahead Of Next Week's IFA Conference

Posted by in News, Transformer Pad Infinity, Vodafone

We're already expecting to see a good number of new devices, like the Galaxy Note 2, announced at next week's IFA Conference in Berlin. It looks like Vodafone has an unveiling of its own, as well; the company just announced that an LTE-packing version of the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity will be outed.

1

Given the mobile-connected Infinity's model number - TF700KL - we assume that this one will ship with the Krait processor instead of the Tegra 3, which we know doesn't play well with LTE. Otherwise, all should be the same on the hardware front, which includes an HD 1920x1200 display, 8MP rear shooter, 1GB RAM, and Android 4.0.x.

ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity Getting OTA Update To Build 9.4.5.26, Brings Stability Fixes, Support For 64GB+ SD Cards, And More

Posted by in News, Transformer Pad Infinity

If you're lucky enough to have already received your TF700, there's an update slowly rolling out that brings a handful of enhancements to the device. Like with most other ASUS OTAs, a changelog isn't available, but users are reporting increased touch sensitivity, support for 64GB and larger SD cards, an updated camera app, better I/O performance, and other stability improvements.

The update is not yet available on my TF700 at the time of writing this, so we expect it's rolling out on a schedule and will likely begin hitting more device soon.

To see if it's available on your device, head into Settings > About tablet > System Firmware Update > Check Update.
