Introducing CWM for ASUS Transformer Prime

Update: Fixed download links.

Update2: YES, this tool does require that you have an unlocked Prime!

Update3: Fastboot tutorial updated to use the *BLOB*. This should work fine. Blame Asus/Nvidia for not making fastboot work like it should.

ASUS finally released the unlock! :)

This means, it’s time to get CWM on there. Enjoy! We have been preparing CWM for a little while, but for obvious reasons we haven’t been able to test until now :) Stay tuned for more awesome things for Transformer Prime! :)

CWM

Download Link: CWM Blob |  Just the CWM image | Update.zip(TBD)

Instructions:

  1. Root your TFP
  2. Download the blob file (tfp_CWM5_androidroot.blob)
  3. adb push tfp_CWM5_androidroot.blob /data/local/blobfile
  4. adb shell & su
  5. dd if=/data/local/blobfile of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
  6. Reboot!
  7. That’s it :) We plan to release an update.zip suitable for flashing from the stock unlocked recovery to make this even easier!

Instructions for non-rooted Primes (or those who’d rather use fastboot):

  1. Get fastboot from here, and extract it.
  2. Download the blob file (tfp_CWM5_androidroot.blob), and put it in the same folder as where you extracted fastboot.
  3. Power off your prime.
  4. Boot with Volume-down pressed. Wait when you see text appearing. The prime will then allow you to start “fastboot”.
  5. Open up a command-line prompt, and navigate to where you extracted fastboot with “cd”.
  6. Enter the following commandline to flash recovery: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery tfp_CWM5_androidroot.blob
  7. Profit!
