Attention: These tools are designed to bring your device back to working condition. They are great for getting back to stock if you need to send your device in for repair or you need to downgrade to stock in order to root your device, etc. If you are one of the rare few that actually has your screen lockup after flashing back, do not panic as the solution is to fully discharge your device. Some people have experienced issues with OTA updates not functioning and blamed this tool. After speaking with the developers and looking at the server it appears that Asus may be blocking you from updating your device if you had already done so in the past. So be warned that you will want to check their website for the latest manual update if I don't have a NVFlash version listed here.
Before starting - Look at your serial number on the bottom of your tablet. If your device is B70 or greater then do not use this tool. Asus has changed the secure boot key, rendering this utility useless for most be 70 or newer tablets. The good news is that the guys over at Android.Mobi are working to update it to support your devices. Check back often for updates. Also, make sure you charge your tablet for a bit before starting this process.
