One way to check is to check the root of the sdcard for a file called unlock_time.txt

1. See if you can get OTA update.
2. Contact Asus through e-mail or phone, and give them your serial number, and ask if it is unlocked.
Try using the blob downgrade method. If it bricks then your bootloader was unlocked.

if i unlocked my prime then something happened then switched serial number stickers with a locked prime then sent it back would it work? or would asus know that it was unlocked?

Serial numbers also stored in setting > about tablet > status. If you can get rid of that then sure why not

Yes they would know, no you can't wipe out the serial number and even if you found a way to change it (doubtful) you probably wouldn't have a valid one

Corrected for grammar.
Anyways, you can still flash cwm using the fastboot method which means that you can get into a custom rom and have root.

Is there any way to unlock the bootloader on the Prime besides the Asus Unlock tool? I also get the error message (rooted stock ROM), and like many others have had my Prime RMA'd. Is there no other way to unlock the Prime?
Currently the official unlock is the only way to go about unlocking your device.

Yeah pretty lame.... I got the RMA returned unlockable Prime now too
I have a TF201 which I bought while I was living in Japan. It is stock unrooted.
it seems to have an issue with the Wi-Fi never turning off when sleeping, and I would like to get the jelly bean update.,which I'm not sure if I will get if I'm no longer living in japan.
Can I flash to another rom version and then get an ota update without having to root or unlock my device?

It's definately possible, I don't have th recipe but I somehow managed to get the TW firmware on my WW prime. Just check the general section for threads on manual update and you'll fix it!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
OK thanks. Can you confirm that you didn't have to unlock or root your device to flash the tw rom?

Yes, I can confirm that!

Hi,
So i did the manual update to jelly bean 4.1.1 to my asus tf 201 while back and lost root
Now i realized how much I need root.
Whats the options I have to regain root?
I got US Variant locked bootloader
I think your only option is to unlock at this point. Stick androwook on there.
