If you dont mind a wipe then use one of the many downgrade methods posted and use OTA rootkeeper to preserve root. There are other posts about that.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919318 this method will work make sure if you have the new asus jb bootloader you use the blob file for twrp. i updated lost root unlocked with unlocker v.6 and followed this and it works

prime bricked

Hi,I've unlocked the bootloader and instaled Virtuous Prime 9.4.2.14 v2 on it using cwm,but I didn't liked it and then I tried to go back for stock USA firmware using cwm again,the stock us firmware was instaled ...I did wipe cache wipe full data and wipe darvic cache and now my prime didn't boot anymore...just apears the initial Asus scream and the top unrecoverable bootloader error (0x000000000004)
Any idea to recovery my prime?Nothin works and can't enter in cwm mode anymore
My prime returned today from the store and Asus changed his motherboard for free,now I have everytihing working again and the bootloader locked again and I will keep this way this time

How did you go back to the Stock US Firmware? Did you use a nandroid backup of your stock, unlocked bootloader, rooted rom?

What do we learn from this?
DO NOT APPLY STOCK BLOBS AFTER UNLOCKING!!!
And what else?
WE WANT FREAKING NVFLASH ACCESS, ASUS!!!

I would recommend trying the ADB method described in the development forum for the clockwork recovery mod thread. That is of course if you can even gain access to your device.

i just talked to Bumble-Bee, he is pretty sure that we won't be able to recover from this.
Just because ASUS prevents access to NVFLASH

I don't understand.......
Are you guys screwing around WITHOUT doing a backup!?!?
You should be doing a full backup the MOMENT cwm is installed.
Sorry to beat you up more than you already are but daaaaaaaamn. If you do even the simplest of flashes MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A RECENT NANDROID
Once again i really feel your pain....im sure someone will something out.

I guess a nandroid is the only way, besides someone putting together a flashable zip for the stock firmware (which I could try to do tomorrow if no one beats me to it).

So....
Restoring a rooted stock = good
Flashing a stock ota = bad
This needs a sticky cuz digging thru threads just plain sucks

Nooooo...damn! Your device still bricked or did you figure a way out of it. Damn, feel bad for you n OP. Hopefully you all figure a way out of this jam. Wasn't even really your fault. Bootloader should've let you been able to flash back to stock rom of needed. That's on them. Then with the warranty voided b.s. your situation really sux. Good luck. I had a feeling since first day of unlock tool we would see bricked primes. They are starting to pop up more often now.
Hopefully y'all get device back working right sooner than later. This info needs to be spread on what happened before everyone who unlocks brick their prime trying to go back to stock setup.

How to root on .28 once unlocked - help

Hello guys,
Im going to ask a question, please dont shoot me
How do you root a TF201 on .28 firmware once you have unlocked it?
I understand how to unlock the bootloader, but before I can flash a custom rom I need clockwork mod, but to flash clockwork mod I need root.
I've spent the last 2 hours searching around the net, but every guide I find is out of date and doesnt work.
Im handy with a pc, and im very used to samsungs odin, but Im lost with the prime.
Will you help a prime noob?
Thanks.

JB Prime

So is it possible too root a jb official updated prime? Ive been looking around and from what I gather you just can not get the nvflash to work which means if you mess up you can brick your prime.... but can we still get root with jb? Is there any roms that would work due to the different boot loader im unsure at this point.... if not is there anything in the works that I can follow to see when they work around it

Dunno about the root, if it's possible (afaik it isn't at this moment). But you can flash roms even without nvflash, you just have to be extra careful. I was flashing roms for about 6 months without nvflash and I had no problems.
When you are on JB, you have JB bootloader and you have to install TWRP for JB bootloader and also install ONLY roms that are made for JB bootloader! It should be written in rom description. Currently there is: Hairybean, NRG, CM10 unofficial and more - look in dev forum.

"If you want to experiment.." Translates to, if you're willing to try...
It works.. I am currently on the latest ota 4.1.2 P769 20d with unlocked bootloader, rooted, cwm recovery. YMMV, try at your own risk.
It seems like he said you can experiment too unlock it or wait for jelly bean update, thank you ill try it today i'm tired of waiting xD

The jelly bean update came, it's not unlockable as hoped.. So it's the only method, currently, there isn't much dev activity on this device either, if you notice in the subforums. So waiting might be a long time, or a surprise..
If you don't mind me asking, what in particular are you need to do that requires unlocked bootloader? We can already root and bootstrap cwm recovery without unlocking it.
thanks,
I would like to use custom ROMS on my phone, can you do that without unlocking the bootloader?
i have CWM already also.
The only ROM available is an unofficial cyan 10.1 ... Its working alright for me so far. It was a pita unlocking it, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you know you want cyanogen (a buggy one).
Ignore my SIG, my 769 thinks its 760 now

No you need unlocked boot loader and yes the only rom is the CM10 has a couple of bugs but i like it

[Q] Can you root on Jellybean?

My friend recently got an og and isn't very tech savvy, so he asked me if i could root his for him but the original root method doesn't seem to work for me on JB. Do i need to lgnpst it or is there a way to do it without taking it back?
There is a guide thread with all the answers.

The guide doesn't mention anything about jellybean, and the root method posted doesn't work on JB nor has it been updated since then, that's why i asked on here.

The CurrentRoot method from carrett's guide will root 20j.
That's odd, mine was rooted before the ota so i haven't messed with it on my OG but on the one I'm trying to use it on it only reboots the phone once then goes back to the home screen on the phone. Guess I'll give it a few more tries.

Unlees you are only trying to get to stock rooted it may be easier to just use teenybin.

Yeah, i thought about doing that but he does just want stock rooted. He's just trying to be able to remove the bloat and add custom themes. If i can't get this method to work i might just go ahead and use teenybin anyways. Thanks though!

You would still need to unlock with FreeGee to avoid getting security error when removing bloat. There is a rooted zip for 20j that you could flash after teenybin if you wanted to go that route.

The current method does work on JB. I've done it.
Well, as I've stated, after trying that method 6 times last night but it only reboots once then returns to the home screen of the phone.
