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?

Sorry my bad english...
Nice, mine is bricked too
What do we learn from this?
DO NOT APPLY STOCK BLOBS AFTER UNLOCKING!!!
And what else?
WE WANT FREAKING NVFLASH ACCESS, ASUS!!!

To not do it again without read about
At least I can turn off my prime...
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 tried,no acess thanks for trying to help...
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

Does that mean virtuous prime is now on halt :-(
Could you try to play stupid with Asus customer service and request a replacement?

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.

Lol, even 1000 backups don't help if your bootloader is broken ;-) which is the case here

So basically how are you suppost to reinstall the stock asus firmware file from the website then if you want to go back to 100% stock (minus being able to relock the bootloader...)????

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.
got another post here concerning my unlocked prime. but is there any way to downgrade to .15 with an unlock but also unrooted prime on .21?

but you need root sorry

i used the mac method, because none of the drivers on windows worked with fastboot. mac method was about 2minutes.
after installing CWM this way, you can make a nandroid backup. then flash the PrimEval US or WW ROOT of .21 you do not need to wipe if you are still on stock. it is a blob packaged for CWM, will just update everything like an OTA. and voila! rooted stock .21 (*)

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
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.

???I've seen several warnings on the jb roms not to install if not on jb boot loader... so how do I get on jb boot loader? Im on virtuous prime .28 thanks in advance. ???
After Reading a little bit more I see that all I need to do is update my recovery and then proceed to flash a rom with the jb bootloader.? Correct?

Look into hat hairybean thread, there's special version of Rom, that flashes bootloader and recovery. After that you can flash any JB Rom you want.

Thanks I'm half way through the NVFlash procedure I need help with wheelie on Linux or Windows. I got the APX inn Google driver installed on my windows XP
I just went through the process.
A developer from HairyBean helped me out a TON!
