Your lucky that you were able to get your tablet back without the JB bootloader stuck on it, but unlucky that your now unable to unlock, have you tried to unlock it? Have you tried to update it?
For me all i did was switch usb debugging and unknown sources and run the unlock app.
Never seen Honeycomb on the asus, but surely an RUU if available would update you to ICS, then unlock and NVflash and then update bootloader to JB.
Are there any threads with RUU's to update the tab to ICS ?
Never had t do it on this device myself so i'm a little stuck for the moment, but so long as you have a working serial then you should be fine.

Hi folks ...
Does anyone know if the Asus unlock tool will be compatible with the (hopefully) soon to be released JB update ?
can anyone on JB try the tool to see it will run?
The reason i ask is that i've held off unlocking for this long and my plan was to wait till the JB update before unlocking. If i update and then am unable to unlock i'll be extremely pissed !

Don't update wait for others to give feedback on whether it fixed any issues out not. If it does update if not unlock
I have the same problem: I want JB as fast as possible to see if the new kernel and rom do fix my problems (most of them in 3D Apps).
I'm also not sure if the new Kernel will work with the ROMS (Maybe this question sounds stupid, but i never flashed a new ROM on any Android device, I'm a complete newbe!)?
Hello fellow transformer prime users,
I have been looking over many threads on how to update to JellyBean and have not come to the decision of whether I should update at the current moment or wait. The reason I feel uncomfortable with updating is that I soft bricked my prime when I did the .21 to .28 update, all due to my human error of not triple checking over myself. Thankfully I have superior knowledge of the android system because I have been using Android since the G1 days (yup I am not a noob, but neither am I an expert in these things, you can say that I am an intermediate power user). Fortunately I was able to unbrick using multiple methods and abd tricks that I found on these threads, and I truly thank everyone of the big guys out there for helping out though my difficult time. Although I had alot of fun in that ordeal, I surely DO NOT WANT TO GO OVER THAT HARDSHIP AGAIN (sorry but I have been emotionally scared for life).
Although it may seem that this post is question oriented I would like to note that it is mostly a plead for an update method suited for my particular setup.
On to the details:
At the current moment my prime is being used as a daily driver. It is my college life all bundled in to one awesome device.
Android version 4.0.3 ICS
It is rooted
it has IML74. US_epad-9.4.2.28.2-20120529 build
stock to the root <----get it.... its a joke
It has latest superuser
it has been backed up
Voodoo OTA root keeper shows 100%
The device is NOT UNLOCKED, it does not say that it is unlocked on start-up, ITS LOCKED
It has CWM 5.5.0.4
My first method of rooting was done though vipermods exploits
Last time I updated I just flashed the proper/suitable stock .28 build that I have now through CWM
At the current moment everything works wonderfully and I love this device.BUT I am afraid of bricking it...I have had bad dreams....BAD BAD NIGHTMARES....
So the question is...I mean comment...(sorry if this does not belong on here)...
What would be a best update method for my current setup
I thank all that help me out and apologize to the forum members and admins if this does not belong here...
I have made a video showing you my current setup youtu.be (sorry, delete this stuff, sorry) /xCQP6O1NpAY , thank you and I hope to soon be playing around with JB
I will also make a video of my update process so others with the same issue can follow my methods.
Thank you,
SpeedV

More info....
Before my .28 update with sparky's rom i had the .21 vipermod exploit....i had flashed cwm and updated my rom from the previous .18, and even before that i had root through vipermods initial root method.
I know my bootloader is locked, but how than is it posible for me to flash roms for unlocked bootloaders. The sparky rom that i flashed is supposedly for unlocked bootloaders.
I am sooooo confused....i dont want to brick my prime again.
More and more info.....
HOW I BRICKED IT BEFORE:
so i was on .21 and wanted to update to latest .28 build
I manually downloaded the stock.28 rom from asus website
I updated through icon on bottom right hand area...you know
All was going well then boooooom i got soft bricked with a bootloop
Did the popular unbrick method through abd then i found sparkys rom.
Flashed sparkys rom through cwm (i uploaded the rom through this abd command file mover thing i found on another xda forum whiles in cwm)
Flashed and installed perfectly
Ok now what should i do....unlock my device and twrp recovery it or whatever its called and then go from there?
Or just wait....i dont know where to start...and frankly i am very displeased with the amount of clarity out of the top guides out there....and all i see is a plethora of bricked devices...sad face...
Ok once again Thank You for your time and efforts.

Hey, could you please give some more information and links about the cwm you used and which popular adb unbrick method?
Weired issue...i heard about perfectly unlocked primes, about primes with locked bootloader "forever" (like my device), but never heard anything about an invisible unlock after softbrick...
Maybe somebody can figure out where "the magic" happened...

I just replied to you but my post did not go through....i spend a good hour finding stuff out for an answer....and now all gone....
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
ok simple answer: I unlocked device...I think through a vipermod primetime release that had it...i think v4 unlock tool don't remember
was on .11 then on .18 then to .21 now on .28
did root with vipermod, and installed cwm in .18 or .21 dont remember
got bricked when i manually updated to .28 from download from asus site
think that there is a method of binging back primes that are bricked
using quick abd pusher...thats what i used in cwm to get sparky's rom on prime and flashed
now working
I really dont give a damn anymore...I hate xda forums right now soooooo bad. I just wasted 1 HOUR, or even more 1+ hours with a perfect reply and all gone because of the stupid forum....
sorry man
I'm done
Okey, I'm not aware if this has been mentioned before, but as soon as I installed the unlocked JB WW rom I get an asus firmware update for my dock and it wants to update my system?
Is this save or not save to do? (since I'm aware asus updates can **** up ur prime when your bl is unlocked..) but am not sure about this one..
with regards, Hawkysoft
nvm, did it and all still works properly
I'm curious as to why I DIDN'T get notified to update. What version is the dock supposed to be at? I am currently showing TF201-DOCK-0207
Is that the latest, or does anyone know if there is a manual update to get the latest?
Please let me start by saying that I feel like an incompetent idiot...
I have searched through the forums without find in a answer to my issue. I have not bee keep up with the tfp scene as I was pleased with how my prime has been running for months. I decided to move up to newer ROMs...thinking hairy bean
So I am rooted and unlocked....don't remember when I did the ladder. I just know when I boot, it says device unlocked I the upper left hand corner. I have twrp installed and am currently on Cm 10.1.
How do I know if I am ICS or jb boot loader?
How do I just upgrade to jb Boot loader to be able to install all these newer ROMs? Is there any easy way? I am hesitant to install a ROM which explicitly says I need to have jb boot loader if I am not sure what I have....
These may be stupid questions but given all the talks about bricking, etc....I am being cautious....thanks.
Leo
I guess my biggest issue is where to go from here....?
All the guides are for new users who are already on jb from factory or have upgraded via official Asus update....tough to find somthng for someone who is 3 months behind.

When you power on the prime look where the "Nvidia" logo is. If it is in the bottom center it is ICS bootloader if it is bottom right it is Jellybean bootloader.
In the second post of the hairybean thread there is instructions for upgrading from ICS bootloader. These wont do any harm if you are already on Jellybean bootloader so you could run them either way.
If you are still on ICS bootloader tho I would highly advise that you do the nvflash process first to make your prime unbrickable.
Hello,
I have an unlocked TF201 with ICS bootloader, running CM10 with TWRP. Since I don't use the tablet anymore, I want to sell it.
Can someone explain how I can get the stock ASUS JellyBean on my device? I don't care if it stays unlocked or not, I just want the JB bootloader + stock ASUS JB on it.
Thank you in advance, I couldn't find anything with the search or Google.
