Since I can't post in the dev section, I will just post my question here. I want to downgrade back to hc, and while I know there's a way, I was wondering what the success rate was like
So I've seen that some devices have had corrupted bootloaders/ get bricked/stop working properly when downgrading to hc. About what is the success rate of downgrading from .14 to .33?
Any help would be appreciated
You don't want to do that.

Risky but possible.

Okay thanks so much for the replies. Glad I didn't do that then . That's the only way to downgrade other than unlocking the bootloader which is even more dangerous right?

Unlocking the bootloader is not dangerous (you can do dangerous things to the prime after, but not really accidentally)
If someone made a rom of HC then you could..
-unlock
-install cwm via Rom Manager
-boot into cwm, wipe, flash the rom..
but I doubt anyone would make a rom of HC because why would you? unless there was enough request for it.
Downgrade to .33

you can downgrade with adb shell
more instructions in that thread
noting extrimly, just use command by copiing it in to shell and you'll get profit
Disclaimer
While this process appears to work on everyone's device, you have to assume all risks due to unforeseen circumstances and need to understand there is a risk of bricking your tablet during the update.
Although someone else was successful in downgrading from ICS to Honeycomb, there has been a report of a TFP bootlooping. Everyone else has been successful in downgrading from ICS 9.4.2.13 to ICS 9.4.2.11.
UPDATE: 2 reports so far of tablets bootlooping after downgrading to Honeycomb.

Why is anyone downgrading?
HC being better or ICS being worse is likely a placebo affect.
If you are trying to fix GPS issues, GPS simply does not really work well at all.

IMHO ICS is not optimizied for now, thats whay people do downgrade
Example may games going good on HC, but dont work om ICS.
i think GPS is a hardware problem and no firmware will fix it.
if i'm wrong correct me.

GPS: Yes. But some people are using "My GPS worked better on HC" as an excuse.
Games: I've noticed zero difference. My tablet runs great now (but of course I am running a lightning fast custom Rom, which if not everybody does they are missing out).
Yeah its mostly for gameloft games as well as some rooted apps that have stopped working

This is very likely not a HC advantage or ICS con and more likely an issue from flashing over.
I don't know much about factory resetting on stock roms, but I know a wipe and flash of a custom rom would probably fix your issues (but you need to unlock bootloader, install CWM, then install a rom like Virtuous)

Anyone having Any of these Issues?
It just started happening After I Flashed a few Custom Roms... And just about 5mins. ago I had a PRL Update Popup on the screen Without me physically Updating it on my own! WTF is up?

i've been on my minor tweaked version of the stock ROM and haven't had either of these issues, "random reboots and screen freezes".
does any certain set of actions on the device trigger the screen freeze or random reboot?
if you have a custom ROM loaded at the moment, perhaps check that specific ROM developer thread for similar reported issues?
if the custom ROM developer/thread can't offer any specific help, i'd test the device on a stock ROM to make sure it isnt hardware related.
if you experience these issues on the stock ROM, i would think it might be hardware related.
technical route: if you want to dive deeper into the issue, after a random reboot, can pull the /proc/last_kmsg to if the kernel debug output shows anything helpful regarding the reboot .. *sometimes* it contains the reason and can help troubleshoot, especially if it is a custom kernel, that last_kmsg file will help the developer.
sorry to hear about the random reboots and screen freezing .. those are definitely some of the worst issues to experience. hope the troubleshooting steps and technical details help!

Hopefully I Won't, But Realistically...
The next time I have a Reboot, or a Screen Freeze, What/How can I find out what caused it?
Can it be done with Root Explorer Searching through System Files?
Oh Yeah, and Thanks by the way!
Battery monitor widget with a 10 second logging will help you rule out temp and voltage. Plus, it's free and simple.
Also, make sure you have all of your system on the newest revisions. I went from unstable to stable after really evaluating that I had the correct versions of price, radio, rpm patch, and rom. HTC fixed something in those items that my phone desperately needed to have fixed!

No offense dude, please don't be that harsh on the guy. He doesn't have his flyer yet to test.
To OP: I can't test either, im sorry, i've already revolutionaried+honeycombd.
That's not harsh it's just to the point. I already explained why it wouldn't work. If it was that simple any of the previous temp-roots would have given the same result, that is why there are no HTC phones on the working list of devices.
If this was possible on the HTC devices we would probably have released it as a standalone revolutionary release.
DooMLoRD I went back to GB to test something else so decided to run this anyway, since it wasn't really any extra effort and as I said before it doesn't work, reboot and it's gone.

Hi!
Before the OTA jelly bean upgrade i had rooted my tablet using DebugfsRoot primarily for the reason that i wanted to use my PS3 controller with the tab.
Everything went good and i had a blast, then the OTA upgrade came. I was really stocked to try out jelly bean so i decided to take the upgrade even though i knew it would break my root (i was thinking there will probably be another way to root again in a few weeks).
I later cleared the tablets memory and it's SD-card to get a smoother experience on JB.
So here i am, jelly bean and not rooted. I've begun researching how to get my root back and from what I've gathered i need to:
unlock the bootloader,
downgrade to ISC,
root,
save the root,
upgrade to jelly bean,
recover the root.
That's a lot of steps for someone who has only rooted using the automated tool, and to be honest it scared me a little.
I just wanted to know if there is any other (preferably easier) way and if i can lock the bootloader after I've unlocked it (since the warranty goes away).
If there isn't any easier way, does anyone of you know a step-by-step guide i can follow?
Thanks,

You cannot downgrade to ICS unless you did nvflash while on ICS which you haven't.
Your process would be, unlock bootloader, install TWRP recovery, flash custom jellybean rom with root built in.

Well u can unlock, flash twrp and then just flash a root zip in TWRP but that is no less steps than flashing the rom and you have none of the speed improvements. The reason most people unlock is to install the custom rom because it is far faster than stock but if that's what you want to do so be it

It's just that if i flash a ROM then i (since i like to be thorough) have to research and spend lots of time checking which ROM is best for me
We'll see what i end up doing.
Do you know how the warranty is affected by unlocking? And can it be restored to it's original state after an unlock?

There is no research to do. You say you want it like stock, that only leaves hairybean 1.51 for you.
Once you are unlocked you cannot relock and your warranty is void.

I'm in almost the exact same position you're in. Had root on ICS, lost it on the change to JB. I have several months left on my warranty so am uneasy unlocking and voiding my safety net. Having said that my Prime has zero problems and works as expected, but still I'm reluctant.
I've read through every page on HairyBean and Energy threads and am busting to experience them...especially Energy as it seems to get updated with stunning regularity. But I also believe Asus 4.2 update is coming soon and think it will further enhance the stock OS. Fark, dunno man.....lol I'll do it if you will

Some observations. I am not sure what the actual percentage is but from what I have seen most of the people who have sent their prime in for warranty work have gotten back a prime that can not be unlocked. I am pretty sure that if I got green camera or something of that nature I would just live with it or repair it myself. If and when ASUS releases a 4.2 update it will be an improvement to the stock os that will still not bring stock os on locked prime to a fraction of the speed and productivity available on an unlocked prime using a custom rom. Further anything asus releases will be available within the week with improvements by devs for unlocked primes. The warranty on the prime is for people who have the explicit goal to keep the tablet mediocre at best.

Haha. Just got my Nexus 4 a few days ago and i can tell you that 4.2 is awesome. I really miss it when i'm using my prime.
The only reason i'd like root is to have more freedom with my PS3 controller... Why did they have to go and make is so hard to root? :/
Will there ever be a way to root JB without unlock the Prime or is that technically impossible?

So much time passed and nobody answered this important question.
I just got of the phone with a representative on ASUS SUPPORT. He asked
around his office to see if he could provide me with information on this issue
that is keeping those of us that went to the latest firmware without doing the
NVFLASH process... He said that this operation is possible and can be
done by unlocking the bootloader (which I haven't done for many reasons.)
But now that Androwook has come out with the Hairy Bean ROM, it is
crucial for me to be able to do this. Stock ROM is Just the worst that can be
with this tablet now a days. I want to know if there are any links to this process,
either flashing TWRP after unlocking the boot-loader, or using cmd, flashing one
of the other firmwares on ASUS's website, Or some other way that someone
has done. By what ASUS told me, this is possible. I need clear and thorough
instructions and proof of this. I am not a developer, just an amateur on this. Pretty
techy, so there is no need to dumb things out too much for me to able to follow. I
am currently on 10.4.18.... android 4.1.1. Any other relavent information can be
obtained by messaging me or something. A lot of us need this help so we can do
the NVFLASH process and go on to make this tablet that is no longer in style great
again.
When I sent mine in, I told them to downgrade to ICS. They did. I was excited to do NVFlash. But when I tried doing it, it just wouldn't work properly. I don't know why, but I just ended up upgrading to JB and doing the Androwook thread instructions.

I think that's pretty straightforward - unless you get bored and want an additional video to add to the collection. lol.
I've been following the methods posted in the Locked BL rooted 290 thread - just not familiar with flashing to the extent I'd like which is why I was hoping for a video that goes through the process step-by-step from rooting .532, to installing recovery, to all the flashing and ultimately to having a fully working pre-rooted .290 ROM without any boot loops or booting issues.
You could technically start from the downgrading from .290 part if you wanted to make it a complete overview - but I think most people are able to downgrade from .290 to .532 without a problem - the complications arise when trying to go back to a rooted .290
