Ahhhh, that makes sense. I was wondering why I didnt see a boot partition or anything. Im guessing soon enough everyone will be on a JB bootloader and life will be easier LOL
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznflawless:
Just making sure so i don't brick my prime. I have CM10 nightly builds on my prime and i unlocked my bootloader back when we had ICS. I use CWM to flash my ROMs. Can I flash to this ROM?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] craigacgomez:
Yes you can... but don't use CWM 5.8.3.4... use 5.8.2.0...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznflawless:
I have cwm 5.8.3.4. What should i do to flash? I don't know how to go into twrp recovery. I remember doing it when i installed my very first ROM. Now it only shows CWM. I dont know how to go into twrp recovery.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pyraxiate:
Twrp is a recovery just like cwm. You cant have both. There are several options for getting twrp to replace your current cwm recovery partition. All the info you need is on the TWRP website for the prime. Just make sure you use the correct version ( JB Bootloader vs ICS Bootloader ). Incorrectly choosing WILL brick you. To check the bootloader version, hold down on boot to where you see the USB / Recovery / Android screen. If it says 9.x.x up top, its an ICS Bootloader. If it has a 10.x., Its a JB Bootloader.

If you are already rooted and are comfortable with the terminal, you can use the DD command to write the twrp recovery to the partition ( Using the blob download ). Thats how i do it now as its easier and I dont have to have a computer nearby :)

Just make sure you enter the commands correctly. check and double check prior to hitting the enter key.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] b.huss2:
Craig, any way you could add a version that doesn't flash boot loader and recover and fixed su?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bradleyw801:

Has anyone been able to get HDMI out to work with this rom?

I've tried and had no luck so far.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] marko!:
I've had a hard time getting it to work. Just keep plugging it in and wiggling it around .
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] promiseofcake:
I have had no issue with getting it to work, but I feel like I do see it flicker between static and display when I am first plugging it in. Seemed to have a stronger connection on ICS (maybe flickered between black and display instead of snow and display) but I am blaming my cheaply made cable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NRGZ28:
Flash the zip in recovery ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bradleyw801:
I thought the rom overwrote the recovery? Do you mean like CWM, or is there something on the stock recovery that will make this work?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] b.huss2:
it does. to flash superuser you need to have custom recovery, and if you want a custom recovery after flashing this ROM then refer to OP...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] frazbox:
hey,

i just updated to the latest firmware, and now i can reload twrp. i tried following your instructions and keep on getting the error: cannot load 'twrp.blob'.

if I enter fastboot devices I see a string of numbers and letters

if i enter fastboot reboot/reboot-bootloader, it does what i command

but i just can get the blob to flash.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tux_mind:
/dev/sda1 in your bootloader

hi buddy,

after unpacking the blob of your rom i've played a bit with hexedit and i found a funny thing.

in your bootloader ( @ 0x8AEEE ) there is "root=/dev/sda1 rw" and some bytes before "%s=/dev/sd%c%c rw" ( maybe it trying to 'brute' the booting device ).

i've to point out that "root=/dev/sda1 rw" it's just after "Unrecognized root device: %s", so i think that it will try to boot from USB only if mmcblk isn't found.

so.....what about some reverse engineering for get a USB bootloader? in very shorts words we have to change jnz <=> jz.

i can try to do this with gdb on armv7 but how can i execute this 'EBT' ?

gdb -q blob.EBT say "not in executable format", ideas?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Aobiah:
I'm pretty sure I've bricked my device and am hoping someone can help me out :( not quite sure where i went wrong, but here's what i did

I came from a version of cm10, so i know i was bootloader unlocked

I downloaded the deodexed rom and the superuser rom and rebooted into CWM. I then proceeded to run the wipe data/factory reset option. Afterwards i flashed the rom and superuser apk back to back.

Once that was done, i hit the reboot now option, and it reboots right back into CWM. i now have no way of getting out of CWM. Everything i do takes me back to CWM.

Could it be a bad download of the rom? I should also note that i only remembered after the fact that i had purchased this machine in Taiwan. Is there an incompatibility between this rom and a Taiwanese machine?

Thanks everyone

Either flash Haiybean 1.51 or Energy rom.

If you flash Hairybean I would suggest clemsyn 1.7 kernel.

Can I use Goomanager to flash TWRP once I have flashed this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moe5508:
I think the post immediately preceding yours answers your question quite aptly...you need nvflash to flash "modified" TWRP recovery and I don't think GooManager has the capability yet to equal nvflash...

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

+10000...

I was on HB 1.2 with nvflash and I've successfully managed to get this JB ROM onto my device using the kind instructions here and am now running my device perfectly. Only issue I had was with "wheelie" crashing while trying to bootstrap into nvflash in order to flash the custom TWRP recovery. A fresh download of the wheelie executable solved that and I went on to success and delight...:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RucaNebas:
I guess it's to late to go back to ICS as I don't have nvflash installed and I cannot do it now.

Otherwise, I need to wait for an updated version of TWRP or CWM, right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wodurrah:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
Hey guys I don't want to be the bad one, but all latest questions have their response in OP....

Only nvflash and only modified twrp provided in OP. Only means NOTHING else.

For those without nvflash access once jb flashed, wait is the best option I guess until further notice here or in twrp thread.

Great work!

Flashed as instructed over HB1.2. All worked except recovery. Flashed modified TWRP as instructed with NVFlash. Recovery works perfect. I'm able to restore now between Stock and HB1.2. Still have dock issues on stock (sod with sd card in dock) so I'm looking forward to trying HB1.3 due out today. Thanks Craig!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
Even if you can, you probably should not. It wont improve anything for you. There are only minuses. Just my opinion.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SolInvictus:
1) You can flash this from any rom, because it overwrites the bootloader, recovery, and system partitions with its own data. If you're on Hairy Bean, it will put your bootloader back to a proper TF201 bootloader, not the TF300T bootloader.

2) If you DON'T have Nvflash installed, then yes, you will be stuck with stock recovery until someone patches TWRP to install using blob files instead of raw image files. Without NVflash there is currently no way of installing the twrp or cwm custom recoveries.

2a) Because I think someone asked earlier, if you don't have NVflash, and you've upgraded to this rom or the Hairy Bean rom, there is currently no way to "do it later" and get nvflash later. The steps required to get NVflash depend on an exploit that is only available in the stock TF201 .28 bootloader. Once you upgrade to the JB bootloader (Tf300T OR TF201), you patch that exploit and cannot roll back to the old exploitable .28 bootloader. That is why everyone really should get NVflash BEFORE they move to the new JB roms if they ever want that brick-safe protection or the option to move back to the old .28 ICS bootloader.

Thank you for this, flashed it last night late and feel asleep during the reboot, woke up to JB with no issues at all. Thank you for your work on this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tublah:
Just a heads up for everyone, don't flash this, then immediately jump into APX mode and flash the custom recovery...bad mojo. Spent a few hours this morning nvflashing back to .28 just to get it to boot up. It seems to work better when you let it boot completely into JB then shut down, then APX->nvflash the custom twrp recovery.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anbey:
Ive done it without nvflash and after upgrade made cwm recovery and everything worked...

so if i go to cwm recovery i cant flash older versions like cm10??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] craigacgomez:
I would recommend moving away from the TF300 based HairyBean...if not now, soon... just my opinion since using a firmware with the correct bootloader and drivers may make a difference in the long run...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kelddaug:

Hey Guys

What difference is there between Us and EU version...it's the same HW right.?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MegaPantheR18:
It's almost the same, but the main difference is the amount of Wi-Fi channels(US has 11, while WW has 13(or even14))

Oh, minor problem.! TNX
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Subsonic44:
Hey Craig,

I followed your instructions and flashed this over HairyBean 1.2. That went fine but broke my recovery. I then NvFlashed the modded recovery and all is well. I have even restored back and forth between stock JB and HairyBean, so I assume that HairyBean will also run on the stock bootloader. After HB 1.3 drops today, I'm going to try to install without the tf300 bootloader.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Moe5508:
Ditto...that's awesome news indeed...same desire here... ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] craigacgomez:
And we are now blob friendly... the TWRP recovery blob has been recreated and it works now... so you no longer need nvFlash to flash the recovery... you it flash it via fastboot or staging.... updated OP...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] andy_rose:
Any reason as to why we cant use the full wipe zip before flashing this rom?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] craigacgomez:
The full wipe zip causes too many issues... and @msfguard even reported it caused a sort of bootloop... just wipe/data factory reset is good enough... and you could also wipe your internal storage, but that's as good as a full wipe!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dai323:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] craigacgomez:
Do you have nvFlash enabled? If so, you can nvFlash the fixed TWRP image...

If not, can you get into fastboot? If so, you can fastboot the fixed TWRP blob...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djcasao:
Idont have nvflash enabled because i can never have the time to figure it out... and i dont know if i can go into fastboot, i am kinda noob at this... all i know is whenever i turn it on it gets stuck to the screen that says asus in the middle, "device is unlocked" in the upper left and "nvidia" on the lower right... i cant do anything after, even trying to press buttons doesnt work, only turnung it on and off works...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Power off the prime, hold down volume down and then hold the power button down the same time. After about 5 seconds do you see 3 icons on your screen? If you do press volume down to go to the usb icon and then press volume up.

Now you are in fastboot mode and you can flash the fastboot version off the first page of this thread.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djcasao:
No i cant do that... i tried that already and its still stuck in the asus screen...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] st33med:
Even so, if it is still stuck on the bootloader, you should be in fastboot mode for now. You need the android SDK installed on your PC to use fastboot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djcasao:
Okay thanks :) um can you give me a detailed intruction on how to do it? What programs and stuff u need installed in my pc? Sorry for bothering you guys...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mnlmnv:

TF201 History:

I went from stock rom/firmware to VirtuousPrime 9.4.2.28 v1 rooted + CWM when released by VirtuousTeam.

http://www.virtuousrom.com/p/prime.html​

From VirtuousPrime 9.4.2.28 v1 to stock Asus 9.4.2.28 past 2 days getting ready for OTA JB.

No OTA available for past 2 days, kept getting "No Update Found" and "Network not Available".

Decided to give this a try since I lost root, CWM access.

Steps to get back root on Stock Asus 9.4.2.28 and CWM:

1) Found Debugfs automated root (I did have to choose 2, manual for /system path using Term.apk and cat /proc/mounts):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1706588​

2) Success Root, installed CWM...

3) Followed OP steps to the T:

4) Added Gmail, received dock firmware update from Asus and Google Play app updates. Flawless.

5) I am superuser happy with stock JB deodexed rooted TF201!!! FTW!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Yes. You can also make a backup of your HB 1.2 now if you want and after you have finished the procedure on the first page and got into the new jellybean install you can restart to your new twrp and restore your backup.

This way you have the new bootloader and your old rom and the facility to flash any future JB roms.

Yes. Just flash the new twrp in the first post with one of the methods explained.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lennie paz:
Yes, I have a card in the dock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
There is a bug with this version the same as there was with the t300 jellybean that if the prime goes to sleep with a card in the dock it will sleep of death or restart.

There was an update for the T300 so I'd imagine we will get is soon as well.

The same bug is also in hairybean 1.2 but is supposed to be fixed in the 1.3 coming out tonight.

Try it without the card in the dock and see what happens.
