Make your life easy. Download 4ext from the market heres the thread for it also. Open it... and select s=on (im assuming you are s=on otherwise kernels flash automatically with the rom. flash 4ext recovery from the app. Reboot recovery. In recovery, go to settings and enable "smartflash."
Now the kernel will flash when you flash the Rom. It may reboot once right after the htc splash screen... then the rom will boot.

Boot into bootloader. It will tell you if s=on or off. If s=on, while in recovery, go to settings and enable smartflash and flash away.
If s=off... just flash away. Either way... no need to download a kernel

I have Official 4.1.1 JB installed and show 10.4.2.17 as the firmware. I have already unlocked......what are my options as far as flashing custom rom?
Can I just install TWRP and flash any custom rom over the stock? Would have to be a JB rom I assume.
Thansk!!
You have to flash TWRP 2.3.1.0 for JB bootloader. And flash only roms that are for JB bootloader. Never try to install rom for ics bl - you will probably hardbrick your device.

Great! That is what I thought, but wanted confirmation before just going ahead with it. Thanks again!!
Just ran the TWRP via fastboot. Do I just reboot now? The status bar when all blue and that is it. Afraid to do anything without being sure it took. thanks.

Hi,
searched XDA but cannot find the correct answer.
I have a TF201 running on blackbean 7.1 (4.2)
I want to sell it because I hardly us it.
I know I cannot relock the bootloader but is there a way to bring the prime back to stock?
Stock rom and option to have OTA ?
Please help me with clear steps!
Thnx in advance

There is no way to relock the bootloader, and no way to get OTA updates after unlocking.
But you can bring the prime back to stock
Just go to the Asus site and download the latest ROM it is software # 10.4.2.18 then extract the zip file copy and paste the 10.4.2.18 zip file in your internal or external SD card boot into recovery wipe data factory reset then flash the zip file.
It will bring your prime back to stock, but it will still be unlocked.

Ok thnx for that. I was award of the fact you fanboy relock of. What about recovery? When I use stock Rom I should also need stock recovery I think.
Is that true? For desire and hox I used ruu to go back to stock rom.

The 10.4.2.18 blob file you flash from the asus site comes with the stock recovery. The prime will be totally stock after you flash it other than being still unlocked. It will be like it was when you first pulled it out of the box. its exactly like a RUU

@ASAPSEVEN
Are you sure about this? because what I have read is, once you unlocked the prime you shouldn't flash stock ROMs that is taken from ASUS website. Doing so totally bricks your Prime. It has mentioned here.
Or does it mean when we have unlocked and ALSO installed CWM, we shouldn't flash stock blob file?
I use twrp so I Dont know. I flashed Asus blob files and they worked fine for me no problem at all.

But still its very risky. Because stock rom contains recover and bootloader which may corrupt the unlocked bootloader and custom recovery.
So I prefer, custom cooked JB ROM out of stock roms.
I don't think the Prime will get anymore OTAs anyway since it didn't get the last OTA the 700/300 got. And the Asus announcement of android 4.2 update left out the Prime too.
It will be a hard choice. Would like stock instead of a custom one. Simply because it will sell more easy.
Thnx for all the info guys!
Will think it over tonight and take the change.

I have Blackbean 7.1 which is Android 4.2 so I needed twrp (like cwm more personally. use it on my hox as well).
Can I flash a blob file via twrp ?

Yeah I would use twrp to flash the blob file just to be safe. I use twrp and have flashed blob files from the asus site, and had no problem at all went as smooth as butter.

GRMBL!
I downloaded WW_epaduser_10_4_2_18UpdateLauncher.zip from http://www.asus.com/Tablet_Mobile/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201/#support_Download_32
I unzipped it and copied the zip inside the zip (WW_epad-user-10.4.2.18.zip) to external SD.
Rebooted to twrp, wiped everything I could wipe (dalvik, cache, factory default) and started to install
After a small minute it shows me;
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
Updating partition details...
E:Unable to mount '/staging'
Where am I going the wrong way?
I hope to sell it tomorrow but when I brick it, I can't....
Thnx again!
Should be OK just hit reboot system then a blue line will fill up and it will reboot itself

Hi everyone,
I'm currently on Viper Amaze 1.7.0.2 and I'd like to know how to revert back to stock ICS. My phone is on tmobile, s-on, unlocked bootloader, hboot 1.93.0002 and 4ext recovery. I want to go back to stock ICS because I need wifi calling. I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617644 but not sure which file to download and what to do with it. Thank you.

But you need to be s-off to flash that rom. I tried to s-off my phone once and it got stuck. I don't want to risk it again.

I dunno why all of you get this.. Its cuz your boot.img didn't flash.. Do like this flash the Rom and reboot into the recovery again then a small pop up will come saying turn on smart flash bla bla say yes and give it 10 sec and reboot your phone.. I kinda remember something like that

Hello all.
I am wanting to install a rooted 4.3 rom over top of my CM11 nightly. I just can't stand the bugs anymore. Is there anything I have to do besides flash the zip in cwm recovery and flash the firmware using Odin? And confirm this will not mess with my bootloader (ie lock it down)
Thanks a million!

i think it wont mess your bootloader, unless you take 4.3 directly from verizon OTA.
Done it a few times already. Flash away
