Hello,
Last night I downloaded (from xda), and installed CM 10.1 on CWM 5.8.3.4...all seemed to go well, until I rebooted the system. Now my prime will not boot past the Eee Pad screen..I think it is because I didn't have a JB BL? But, I don't know how to get a JB BL.
I re-downloaded CM 9.1, and put it on m Micro SD card from my NOTE 2, but the Prime won't recognize the external SD in CWM.
How can I fix this?
Also, my PC will NOT recognize my prime at all, it doesn't even show up in the device manager...so I can do adb.
thanks!

Can you get into fastboot?
Have you done nvflash?

You need access to fastboot and this is an easy fix.
Either try your prime in a different computer and see if you can get it to show up or it is possible that your cable is faulty and will need to get a new one off ebay.

Hold down power button and volume down for 10-15 seconds until you get to the screen where there are icons on it (wipe, usb icon etc)
Use volume down to go to the usb icon and then press volume up. It will say entering fastboot mode and freeze on your screen. This is normal and you are in fastboot mode. Now go to device manager and see if you have any devices there.

I just installed CWM Touch 5.8.1.8..now what must I do to get an OS back on here?
Thanks for your help too.....I never thought to try a new cord because the cord charged the prime fine...i figured it if the cord was bad it wouldn't even charge

Personally I wouldn't even use cwm on the prime. Can you please tell me what the numbers are up the top of the screen when you get to the screen with the icons. It will either start with a 9 or a 10. Also tell me where your nvidia logo is. Bottom center or bottom right when you turn it on.

what should I use? TWRP, or w/e its called haha...ill use either one, doesn't matter to me.
NVIDIA logo is bottom center
i have nothing on the device now...I wiped it clean...I actually got rid of CWM too..the only thing I can boot into is the bootloader now (with the USB symbol and WIPE DATA symbol)

You are on the ics bootloader at mo. Please take a look at this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35419142&postcount=5
That will get you up to jellybean bootloader and jellybean twrp. Make sure if you flash Cyanogenmod afterwards you flash one based on jellybean bootloader. I don't think the official cm is on jb bootloader yet but the unofficial one is.

That should only take a few seconds to flash. Once it works correctly you would go in the same way as CWM.
I don't like the fact that it has stuck mid flash tho.

It wouldn't go straight in. You would need to hold power and volume down and go in the way you would before.
there are also no numbers or anything up top when I re-boot..if I hold down power and vol- it goes straight into bootloader..no option to get into TWRP.

What do you mean straight into bootloader? Do you mean where the icons are?
If so click the first one. Rck or something.

This isn't making much sense at the moment. The old way used to be to hold power and volume down and you would get a message saying press volume up within 5 seconds to get into recovery. The new way became that you had an icon in the same place as fastboot and wipe data that said rck and you would press up on that to get into recovery.
You are not even getting the press up to enter recovery any more before getting to the 2 icons ? I'm still a little bit worried about this flash failing earlier.
:crying:I stayed at the opening screen of prime
power+vol down bootloader menu does not
power+vol up stays on the black screen
my pc wants to apx driver.
I installed apx driver
my pc has seen Asus Transformer Prime APX interface
but not work fastboot mode, (waiting for device)
Can you help me?
Pleasee...

What did you do to get it like this? Also did you ever do the nvflash process because apx mode is useless without it ?

I thought goomanager had disabled the installing of recovery thru the app because it could cause bricks.
Anyway, if you have installed an ICS recovery on top of jellybean and you do no have nvflash backups and you cannot enter fastboot then you are hard bricked sorry mate.
Ive read and I think Ive came to the conclusion that I got a new boat anchor. Just wanted to see if anyone can confirm before I trash it.
Its a tf201.
Had 4.1.1
Used the asus unlock tool.
All went well
Went to install twrp
Rebooted fine.
Rebooted again went to asus logo with unlocked in the top left.
Its stuck there.
Cant enter recovery.
CAN enter APX
Did not install NVFLASH
Toss it?

Question:
How did you install TWRP and where did you get it ? What version of TWRP is it ? I believe there is the ICS and JB versions and there are specific version for TF201 as well.
Are you able to go to fast boot ? if so then you are not bricked yet. The way to install TWRP is to install it using fastboot.
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/93
I got twrp from their site. I got the JB version. I cant get into fastboot. If I hold down volume while trying to boot it still just goes to the splash screen just like if I dont. I cant turn it off though. When I hold down power to turn it off as soon as it turns off it just trys to start again so Im not sure its registering the volume button or not.

If it helps any to know this I can turn it off now and still volume down and power does nothing.
The only thing that gets me anything different than the splash screen is to hold volume up and power.
Did you find a way to recover your tf201?
Hello lemayautocare,
Have you found a post/site, that explains how to recover you tf201? I'm having the exact same problem an the only additional information I can give you is that I notice that when I power it with the volume button up, the screen is black but my computer sees the device when I use lsusb. It doesn't show up when I power it up with volume button down.

Volume up and power puts it into APX mode. This mode is only of any use to you if you already have NVFlash backups.
I know there are many threads saying that their Transformer Primes are stuck on the ASUS screen, and every one I saw didn't help me one bit. So I'm making this thread to tell you specifically what's wrong with mine.
In this order:
I rooted my tablet with motochopper and it worked just fine.
Then I unlocked my bootloader and tried flashing TWRP with this link.
I thought it worked, but then I ran into my current problem:
My tablet is stuck on the ASUS splash screen. "This device is unlocked" is at the top left and the NVIDIA logo at the bottom right.
And it's stuck...
When I hold the power button and +, it turns off.
When I hold the power button and -, it reboots.
My computer and ADB doesn't recognize my tablet.
IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO??? :crying:
And it's running Android 4.1.1
I don't have NVflash installed either.

Please use the search feature there is tons of info on this exact issue. :highfive:
I have a TF 201 that was having a bunch of issues. I went to do a wipe and it seems to have crashed mid wipe. Just froze for hours. After i tried turning it off and on again it wont get past the asus splash screen and wont even stay off. As soon as i try turning it off it turns on. It also wont boot to recovery by holding down power and volume. It just says ASUS in the center and the device is unlocked in the top left. any ideas would be great. thanks!

If you can't get to the bootloader menu or into recovery then you are hard bricked unless you made NVFlash backups before.
I've got the same problem
My ASUS tf201 running android 4.1.1 with firmware 10.4.2.18 is unlocked and rooted. I was trying to set it up to flash a new ROM when it would no longer boot into RCK. So I tried clearing it and now it restarts on switching off and sticks on ASUS splash screen. Simultaneously pressing volume down/on gets me into ASUS splash page(stuck again). Simultaneously pressing volume up/on gets me a blank screen and when connected to PC gets a tone and shows up in PC's device manager as "Android Phone/ASUS Transformer Prime APX Interface" but using abd it doesn't recognise devise.
HELP! I'm a noob, thanks

Same answer as above.
Hello. I too have a hard bricked TF201. It is stuck in APX mode from what I can tell (it is seen as that on the PC when I plug it in). it charges as well. I have made NVFlash backups, but I am having problems making them work. I am desperate. Please help
