How to Update ASUS TF700T to Latest Official Update Firmware

  1. Check your device’s SKU through the following procedure.
    1. On the tablet, go into Settings » About tablet. Then, check the Build number.
    2. If the build number starts with “TW”, your SKU is TW. Similarly, if your build number starts with “US”, you must download the firmware for the US SKU. Similarly for WW, you need to download the WW firmware.
  2. Download the update for your SKU from the official ASUS website. Select Android from the drop-down box, click on Firmware, then download the latest update’s file.
  3. Extract the downloaded zip file once to obtain another zip file.
  4. Now, we need to copy the obtained zip file to the tablet.
    1. If you have a custom recovery like ClockworkMod or TWRP installed on the tablet, copy the zip file obtained in step 3 to the internal SD card.
    2. If you are on stock recovery on the tablet, rename the file to “EP201_768_SDUPDATE”, then copy it to the external SD card.
  5. [Important] Now, further steps depend on whether you have stock recovery on the tablet or are using a custom recovery like ClockworkMod or TWRP recovery. Follow step 6 if you have stock recovery on the tablet, or step 7 if on a custom recovery.
  6. For stock recovery
    1. Shut down the tablet. Hold Power + Vol Down buttons until a message appears saying “Press Vol. Up to enter RCK (5s)”. Here, press the Volume Up key within 5 seconds to enter recovery.
    2. The update will automatically start installing, then the tablet will reboot after the update is finished.
    3. You can now stop following the guide as your tablet has now been updated.
  7. For custom recovery
    1. Shut down the tablet. Hold Power + Vol Down buttons until a message appears saying “Press Vol. Up to enter RCK (5s)”. Here, press the Volume Up key within 5 seconds to enter recovery.
    2. Select wipe cache, then select Yes to confirm cache wipe (if using TWRP recovery, select Wipe, then select Cache/dalvik cache).
    3. Select install zip from sdcard, then select choose zip from sdcard. Scroll to and select the update file that you copied to the tablet in step 4. Confirm installation by selecting Yes on the next screen. (if using TWRP recovery, select Install, then select the update file)
    4. After the update is installed, select go back then select reboot system now to reboot the tablet (if using TWRP recovery, select the Reboot system button to reboot the tablet).
    5. After the tablet reboots, it will be running the latest firmware.
