How do i take the prime back to stock? (Stock kernel, ROM, and no cmw)
Thank you!
I'm no expert, but I've read a few threads that seem to indicate because ASUS hasn't released "NVFLASH" you will not be able to re-lock your device at this time.
It's a bummer, as I remember how easy it was to re-lock my A500, but it just makes you think a bit more before unlocking.

I dont mean relocking it, i mean unrooting it, removing CWM, and restoring the stock ROM.
I'd love to do this as well - anyone know how?
be careful with this, so far there is no way without hard bricking your tablet and there is no recovery for that. just keep checking the dev section until a real way to restore stock found.
Stock rom and kernel isn't the problem. There is already one up in the dev section. So far as I know though there isn't a way to get stock recovery back...

How to unlock it?
How to root after unlocking?
I just want root to use Titaniumbackup.
And maybe put another rom on it.

To unlock the device use the tool from the Asus website. Just search "Asus tf201 unlock tool" in Google and it'll pop up.
The way I rooted was I just flashed a zip from recovery that flashed SU etc. Check the development thread for the TF201 and just READ. I nor anyone at XDA is responsible if you brick your device. Your actions are yours and you resume responsibility if you choose to follow any method found at XDA,
Do yourself a favor and try Androwook(based of Tw), AOKP (JB loader), or CM10(JB).... AOKP is amazing. It was just released yesterday (or day be4 that)
Remember, once you flash any of these you cannot go back to ICS. The bootloader is different and you can brick. (unless you have enabled nvflash)
If you are looking at another ROM to flash anyway it will most likely have root enabled. You just have to unlock the bootloader with the ASUS tool (which voids warranty) and do it.
Hi guys,
im gonna cut to the chase. some time ago my tf201 was having problems and i went to asus site n downloaded and installed everything that had to do with the tf201. turns out that included the unlocker tool which as i understand voids warranty and prevents update? is there some way to remove this? and if not, is there anyway to install jellybean into my tf201 (currently ICS) i really want to install jellybean so any help is much much appreciated.
on another thread i posted someone mentioned something about downloading a rom from the dev forum? kinda have no idea what to do. hope someone can shed some light on this
Unintentionally unlocked? I would say it is blessing in disguised
Try custom ROMs like Androwook and Energy.
I am using Androwook. I am very very happy with the performance. The tablet feels definitely faster and smoother than stock. Heard that Energy is good tho I have not tried it yet.
Thumbs up for Androwook Hairy Bean!
Everything you need on the page to update to jb bootloader and rom. And a very helpful community.

To: tuckermission. thanks for the reply on my other thread. thanks for the link but how do u get stuff like custom recovery??? im a complete noob. would appreciate any help
i see stuff like nvflash, custom recovery, unlocked bootloaded, jb bootloader. and its making me woozy
am i supposed to root first?
FYI:
Android version --> 4.0.4

So when have you unlocked your tablet or not? I'll help guide you through this process.
its been unlocked for quite some time now... sorry but i cant rmb the exact date
Alright so if you want Jelly Bean all you need to do is get the Jelly Bean boot loader. The easiest way to do this is to flash a rom that has this included in it. Do you have TWRP installed?
sorry was refreshing like an idiot n didnt realise it went on to 2nd page...
put it this way. i havent done anything other then unlock it
some people have been asking me to get hairybean from andro wook? isit the same?
I followed McJesus15's writeup (thanks btw) to install the twrp recovery. I used the Option 2 (Easy Option) to install the recovery and it was VERY easy and I had no problems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998359
I then went to the below page, read through it and flashed Androwook 1.51 to my Prime. It's never run so good.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674827
I was always on the fence about doing this because I didn't want to screw anything up, nor void my warranty. I am glad I waited because I recently had an issue with my rear camera and had my Prime replaced under warranty. Now that I have a good working Prime and it's almost out of warranty, I said what the heck and upgraded. I also bought a dock and have finally put the 'Transformer' part of Prime to some good use. I LOVE this thing now.

Man, sorry I missed that. If I understand right, look into nvflash. I read with that, you can essentially never brick your prime and if you are still on ICS you can install nvflash. Once you get JB installed, you can flash to Androwook or other custom rom. I am not an expert so please research and good luck.
okay thanks
kay i gtg sleep have work tml. ill check back after work.
sorry for being a total noob and i appreciate all the help. anyway it sounds like nvflash is really important? and what are custom recoverys and how to get that onto my TF201 ICS? hope someone can help me.. thanks in advance!

Thanks for the info. I succesfully installed this rom. If it's beta, it's quite polished
Do You know if there is a chance for the separate thread in development section, when this goes stable?
For now, these are unoficial test builds, it's named for TF300T but works on Prime.
Do all 300 roms work with the 201 then? I've only been watching the TF201 thread, as has been said, little to no kitkat mentions.

As far as I know - no. Roms should be prepared for the current devices.
However, this situation is diffrent - we have a beta-tester, who pointed what is working and I was lucky to boot succesfully.
I am no dev, but installing any rom from diffrent device without proper porting should end up in bootloop or softbrick.
Mate, don't try it without nvflash backup!
Scary!!
The CROMBI KK ROM has been built for our primes as well as the TF300, even though its in the TF300 dev forum, just make sure you follow the above instructions correctly to get on the right boot loader and twrp recover first

I have flashed SlimKat from the TF300 thread on my Prime. To be completely honest, my Prime has never run as smoothly as it does now with this ROM. I have had zero issues since flashing it. I suppose I may have just been lucky to not run into any issues...

Any f2fs recovery for kitkat
In addition to the available kitkat ROMs for the tf201, does anyone know if there are any recoveries that can be used to format the partitions to f2fs as that seems to be hot right now?
Then we would also need to know what ROMs can operate with f2fs.
CM11 & Slimkat
I tried both 4.4.2 Crombix and Slimkat from TF300T. Remember that this is still work in progress, so take it easy.
The CM11 based one is very good for a daily driver, two developers cooperate closely and there even is a choice for diffrent kernels.
I think Slimkat deserves Your attention because of the smoothness. You get a chance to instal something diffrent, for long time unavailable for our devices. It provides some new user experience, so worth taking it on board. Also good contact with the dev, worth a try

Crombi has power profiles and dock battery indicator, which Slimkat hasn't atm.

Did you have to do anything special to get it flashed? I just went through all the steps of getting a NVFlash backup so my bootloader says 10.4.2.15-20120917 A03. I was on stock 4.1.1 rooted for ages and this thing has been collecting dust but I figured I would get it usable for my daughter to use on trips. I followed the instructions on androidroot.mobi to get all my backups and then I installed TWRP v2.7.0.0-Voyagery2k_v.1.2 and when I try to install SlimKat I get a error of getprop = TF300T so I'm not sure if I have to edit something to get it to flash or what. I also see all the "i bricked my device" threads so I want to proceed with caution. I'm just looking for a fast kit kat ROM since this thing on 4.1.1 was super slow with the amount of data I had on it.
I'm just hoping for a: flash this bootloader (link) flash this recovery (link) and flash this ROM (link) and make sure you do this as well instructions.
Thank you!

Follow the instructions on the latest hairybean thread to flash the "Upgrade Hairybean 2.31 (4.2.1) Bootloader & TWRP (2.5).zip", then flash "TWRP-TF300T-2_7_0_1.zip" from the TF300 dev thread, then flash SlimKat, GAPPS from the TF300 dev thread. With nv flash you shouldn't have anything to worry about, but these are the steps I followed and it worked like a charm! Still loving it!

Hey Boldnuts,
Can you help out on the upgrade process?
I was using HairyBean 2.31 and installed everything as described on the first post. Then, I upgraded TWRP to 2.7.0.0 Geass for F2FS. Now, I would like to go to KatKiss 5 with F2FS support.
According to the OP of KatKiss 5 at the TF300 forum, it says that you should be on TWRP 2.8. Do I really need to update to that? If so, would it be a straight flash update of the TWRP 2.8 zip file from my current setup? What about the bootloader that came with HairyBean (4.2.1)? Would it work with that?
Thanks!

Never mind. I figured it out.
I am also using hairybean 2.31 with the f2fs file system...using the HUND kernal 3.4.5 and TWRP 2.7. I am not very experienced at flashing Roms but can read instructions well. Would you be able to post step by step instructions on how to get Android 5 on my tf201? Does the ROM run as well as Hairybean and stable enought to be used as a daily ROM? Would love to have lollipops on this having tablet.

KatKiss Lollipop is *amazing* on the TF201 - much, much faster than any Kitkat ROM I've tried.
If you're already running Kitkat all you need to do is flash the ROM, flash the TF201 compatibility pack and then flash Gapps (if you wish).
Took me 25 mins last night and I'm very, very impressed.
Some stuff might not work but everything is fast and stable.
This actually makes my TF201 usable!

How I flashed KatKiss to TF201
Hi all,
In this post, I have explained how I updated from CROMBi-kk to KatKiss (5.0). And later for stability, I have flashed Grimlock 5 kernel dirty, as @dgcruzing wrote he did on the next post, below mine.
Also, OP @lj50036 wrote the walk-through for coming from stock at first page of the thread.
It is really stable and fast (after Grimlock 5 kernel update). I had only one reboot after more than 3 days and it is fine as I was playing with every bit of the settings.
I hope that helps

Which one actually? The "Linaro" version or the non one? I'm confused by this.
Pretty sure when I posted that, the Linaro kernel wasn't available. Although I've since moved onto CM12 from the TF300T with the Linaro Grimlock kernel now.
I am running Harrybean 2.31, Bootloader 4.2.1, TWRP 2.5. What files do I need to get to Loolipop? Please advise with links for files and step by step instructions. Greatly appreciated, and thankful to upgrade to Android 5.1
