I have not yet root or unlock my prime, and I upgraded my prime to JB with 10.4.2.18
I would like to flash the TWRP2. After read some threads, I have some question:
1. Is there any way to unlock my prime? I heard that the official unlocker is work for ICS only.
2. Can I flash nvFlash later? Since TWRP2 mentioned I cannot get nvflash access with JB bootloader
Thank You
You can unlock JB with the ICS tool. Unless you have an unknown serial problem like me. Not sure about second question.

You can also use the ASUS ICS unlock right on the ASUS website. google asus tf201 unlock will take you right there

I have a question, I have a xperia S (lt26i), and I have allowed bootloader status "no", I have the generic 4.0.4 android world, but hey seen you can install the root cwm and also do not need the boot loader unlocked, having locked bootloader could install cyanogenmod 9?? or any way to get it having locked bootloader without having to flash the kernel?
If this was in the right section you would get your answer a lot faster as a lot of people now ignore question threads in the GENERAL section.

Nope you need an unlock boootloader to boot CM rom

Not yet would be the right answer as some people are working on trying to get custom kernel onto a locked bootloader as this is the thing stopping users with locked bootloaders have cm ://

I read somewhere that putting a generic rom 4.0.4 in specific and having locked bootloader cwm installed, you could install CM9, 9 not 10, because the kernel was compatible with CM9 and did not need to flash another kernel. And would have locked bootloader CM9 with and without flash kernel.
Its possible. You have to wait. check this thread, you can understand.

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.

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

Hi,
I try to understand how to change my current stock ROM to one of those ROM, published in this forum.
There is so many thread, that I don't know how to start and specialy I do not want to brick my TF201.
Can someone give my the instruction to follow to move from a Stock JB 4.1 to any 4.2 custom rom ?
Thanks a lot!
1) Unlock your device using ASUS tool.
2) Flash TWRP 2.5.0.0 - http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/93
3) Follow instructions in AndroWook thread.
unlock tool for JB stock rom
Thanks for your reply.
Which tool should I use to unlock my transformer prime ? I went on the asus website to download the desired tool and it says:
Unlock Device App: Unlock boot loader(Only works with TF201 ICS OS)
Does it mean that it is not working on the stock JB ?
Thanks,
Laurent

I don't know why but I can't install the unlock app of TF300T
Instead I install the unlock app of TF201 and unlock BL successfully at stock JB
