but now i'd like to get one of the 4.2.1 roms but all the instructions emphasize that i need the jb bootloader
i never officially upgrade to 4.1..i went that way by flashing the twrp recovery and then cm...
so how do i upgrade to the jellybean bootloader? i''ve been searching like crazy and have seen nothing that is concrete as far as changing toa jellybean bootloader, so that i can flash twrp jb, then flash the rom of my choice

Go to post 2 in the hairybean thread and follow the instructions for upgrading from ICS. The only difference for you will be to change the rom in the instructions.

Hey all. Quick question for ya. I am going to flash one of the JB roms to my wifes galaxy tab 10.1 this weekend.
She is currently running task's honeycomb rom. She has been running that for a good 5 months now.
What order do I proceed to get her to JB??
Must I flash an ICS rom first then flash a JB rom??
Do I need to flash a JB bootloader or an ICS bootloader?? If so where can I find them. Been searching the forum with no luck.
Any other info would be greatly appreciated. Specifically the orders or anything I have overlooked.
Thanks in advance,
Nycorduroy
not mandatory to have an ICS step, you can directly go to JB.
you just need CWM, you probably already have it if you are running task's rom.
backup your app (titanium is a great tool in my opinion)
copy rom file to your tab
make a full wipe (+cache +davilk)
flash rom
reboot and enjoy

This does not belong in the Development section. All questions need to be put into the Q&A section. Please do that from now on.
With that said, I am not sure about the bootloader but you probably need to update your version of CWM recovery, and you can find out about that as well as the bootloader stuff in the threads for CM10/JB. Pershoot's threads are probably a good place to look as well.
Edit: well someone got to it first, follow their instructions as well

Yes, Pershoot stated in Android 4.1.1 - CyanogenMod 10 Preview thread that you need to have a US HC or ICS bootloader in order not to have charging SODs. If you have a US bootloader you should be fine if not flash a stock US HC or ICS rom via Odin before you flash CM10 (you'll loose all data on the tab). Alternatively there are flashable US bootloaders but I've never tried one. I can't put the links because search feature is is temporarily unavailable.
Finally, You could still get charging sods and some wifi problems etc. even if you came from a US bootloader. Pershoot says a small minority will face these issues no matter what. A hard reset fixes these issues temporarily. If you could wait a little bit more a new cm10 is on the way with 3.1 kernel which is supposed to work fully functional. But still, I think current CM10 is the best rom available right now.
I have a rooted unlocked prime with TeamEOS JB rom. In fact the only reason I unlocked the bootloader was to get jellybean in the form of that custom rom. As much of an improvement as this rom was over stock ICS, it has too many problems and my prime often powers off randomly. I would like to have the stock jellybean experience similar to my nexus ..... is it as simple as downloading the official jb rom from the asus website, flashing it, and then flashing twrp? And if it flashes badly (with the prime it seems to be a common problem) will I be able to simply restore via recovery? Please help a poor noob, I just want my prime to be usable!

looking for the same - still running on 4.0.x (Virtuous Rom) and want to have a full working JB Version. How can I get the stock version on my Prime ?! or does somebody know if the Virtuous Team is already working on an update of ther Prime Series Roms
So any stock Rom (modified or not) will be awesome to get my Prime to JB with a WW Version.

Me too! I have CWM recovery and a pre-rooted stock rom (.28). I've read on these fora that people have successfully installed the official .zip from Asus using a custom recovery, but I also read that other people are sure that it will brick the Prime. Getting confused

Here's what I did:
I downloaded the latest firmware from ASUS's website. I extracted it to the root of my micro SD. I plugged that Micro SD into my prime and it recognized it as an update.After I selected it in the notification bar, it rebooted me to recovery where I chose the extracted file and flashed it with TWRP.
N.B. Be sure to back up root with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper.

I would like to add that you get the new TWRP openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.1-tf201-JB.img from http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/93 so you can have a custom recovery with jelly bean
Also if you flash the full firmware from the Asus website you may lose root but can get it back by doing the following.

Hello I am currently running Hairy Bean 2.11 and I just want some info so if I should decide to make a change I do it correctly and do not brick my Prime.
So here goes:
I rooted and unlocked my prime then used HairyBean TWRP updater (normal) to install the TWRP recovery onto my Prime which gave me ver 2.4.1.0. I then made a backup using TWRP of my stock-unlocked-rooted rom. Just in case I ever needed it.
I then used Upgrade Hairybean 4.2.1 Bootloader & Recovery.zip and Hairybean 2.11.zip to install Androwook.
My question now is if I wanted to use that stock rom I would have to use "Downgrade Hairybean 4.1.1 Bootloader & Recovery" first correct?
Can anyone tell me what version TWRP that would put on my Prime? I am aware that I should not upgrade or change my TWRP while on Androwook unless the Dev says it is ok to do so, but I have one last question would a newer version of TWRP be able to flash a ROM made with an earlier version TWRP with no issues? I mean it should but just to be sure I wanted to ask the dumb question anyway.
Thanks to anyone that takes the time to read this noobs posts, and even better to answer!! lol Thanks again. :cyclops:

You might be able to restore the stock rom on the 4.2.1 bootloader. I know that hairybean 1.51 will install fine on the 4.2.1 bootloader as long as everything is wiped.
Give it a go. Make a backup of your install now and try restoring the old backup.. You wont break anything that way.
If it doesn't work then use the downgrade zip and restore it.
The upgrade and downgrade zips include compatible TWRP's for the bootloader it is on. If you downgrade you can install official TWRPs from their site but if you are on the upgrade do not install them as you can brick. There's nothing worth upgrading twrp for anyway.. They work fine.
Thanks flumpster i just wanted to know if it could be done, i am still getting used to using HB 2.11 and loving it. But i always like to know i have and can go back to a stock rom if needed.
I did have a couple of those sudden unexpected reboots that i have read about with the 4.2 roms, but not enough to bother me.

How do you find performance of HB 2.11 compared with 4.1.1 stock?

Well to be honest it's smooth but the stock 4.1.1 was not bad either, I guess most performance boost and fixes can really be seen if you are coming from an ICS or HC rom. From what I understand those roms were pretty bad performance wise. I like the added tweaks though and look forward to getting the next update and some overclocked kernels. For now I am just enjoying the freedom to choose the apps I want and to loose those I do not.
So, if I got this right, from ICS 9.4.5.30, I can just flash the JB 10.6.1.14.8 bootloader using TWRP 2.5.0.0, and then flash the CROMi-Xenogenesis 4.6.4 DEODEX rom? I don't have to do incremental upgrades, as it were? I'm running on an Infinity (TF700T, US SKU).
To clarify, I'm rooted and unlocked at the moment. I've already installed GOO. Will I lose root if I flash, or does that only apply to stock roms? Am I better of flashing the latest JB stock rom first and then doing a nandroid backup first? In this case, I will lose root if I understand everything correctly...
I know a lot of this is discussed in the CROMi threads, but no one seems to have asked specifically if you can go directly from ICS to CROMi-Xeno, unless I missed it.
Thanks for any help.
Anyone? Would be nice to get an answer prior to bricking my device...Thanks!
Anyone running CROMi Xenogenesis on TF700T?
I have a buddy who is still on Gingerbread (DarkyROM to be exact), and I'm trying to convince him to upgrade to CM11. Does anyone have any good guides for this? I'm not sure if there's a ICS bootloader he needs to install before flashing a CM11-compatible version of CWM or before CM11 itself (this is my main concern, can't find anything in searches).
Thanks in advance!

I would really suggest to update to Neatrom instead as kit kat aint exactly finished and your friend doesnt sound like the flashaholic type
