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

Hey everyone
I've have a GingerBread Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman and i downgraded the firmware to the version: 4.0.2.A.58
I installed the recovery (using RecoverX) and i've root access.
Booloader is locked.
What do i have to do to be able to install custom roms? (ICS if possible)
Do i just need to download a custom rom and flash through cwm? Or ive to unlock the bootloader install kernel?
Can anyone please point a direction?
Thanks in advance

first you have to root, then you gotta install custom recovery. you have to unlock the bootloader to install a custom kernel but there are quite a few custom roms optimized for the stock kernel/locked bootloader
first, download the doomlords one click root kit, then root, then download se extreme tweaks and select install cwm for 2011 xperia and you'll be on your way! if you need detailed help, pm me!

do you want ics roms or gb roms?
i'm not that into gb roms so i wouldnt know, but the hasa roms are okay.
for ics roms, there is minicmsandwich, real ics and real ics lite. i'm using real ics lite. there are more roms but those are my favorite ics roms.
for ics roms, however, you have to root ics. that's pretty simple.
unpack the rar i attached, run 01-local-prop, follow the instructions, once that's done, flash ics via flashtool but uncheck "wipe data" and that's it. after that's done and you boot into ics, run the 02-push-root-files, and install cwm again via se extreme tweaks. then just flash a custom rom via cwm. easy as that
What ICS rom do you suggest?

I currently use real ics lite r3 so I suggest that. If you decide you don't like that one, you can always try mini cm sandwich

You'll need to unlock the bootloader. There are two methods - the test point method (if you don't want to lose DRM keys, TrackID and such Sony stuff) or the official method. Both these methods are available in the FAQ by Someguyfromhell.
Once you do unlock the bootloader, you need to flash either a kernel that's provided in the ROM or another kernel that supports the desired ROM.
Can anyone please point a direction?

Once again, read the FAQ here.

There are quite a few ROMs out there which include:
ExMIUI
Real ICS r5.2
CyanogenMod ROMs
ParanoidAndroid
Try 'em all out, see which one works for you the best!

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.

???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!
Follow instructions in this thread.

Yay, finally unbricked.. stupid Asus cables.. currently got cwm and cm latest stable release.. just wondering what in should do next and in what order. Hearing that people are getting bricked with jb and cwm so I'm thinking I need to get twrp on there, and maybe nvflash,
So what should I do in what order? Trwp or nvflash first? And what's the best most stable job ROM about?
is that IrC channel still about does anyone know in case I run into problems doing all this?
Thanks in advance

You are on ICS at moment.
First do NVFlash and backup all the files it tells you to along the way.
Next install TWRP for ICS. Make sure you get the ICS version installed at this point.
Next go to Hairybean thread and go to post 2 and follow upgrade instructions for ICS. This will get you onto the Jellybean bootloader and Hairybean 1.51.
After that either stay on Hairybean 1.51 or switch to a different Jellybean bootloader rom.

You are fine to take that.
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
