Well. I just donated 10.00 Euros (???) before I even did anything
based on how great you seem to be answering questions and helping.
I will admit, I'm a bit scared to make the jump! My Prime is rooted
and I did it using Viper's method.
Now, if you could just swing by my house and do it for me? lol
Actually, halfcab123 rooted my Thunderbolt remotely, ever thought
about that? I wonder, out of all the folks reading this thread, how
many just give up, feeling they can't do it...

Either way, I sure hope out of all these pages and pages of threads,
EVERYONE is donating as well!

Thank you :)

Well, it took me a couple tries to figure out the order to press the buttons to get to recovery, but I finally got there and installed. Thanks for bringing us a ROM diamondback!

Hehe, thanks :)
Actually you need access to the Prime itself to flash it, so no way to do that remotely :p

Future OTA Asus updates to forget?

Hi all,
in this moment my Prime is still almost original (just rooted), and i wanna a lot to change rom for obtain 1.6ghz (and more when it will be possibile) with 4 cores at performance mode but i am afraid of doing it cause i just guessing how i will do next updates.. i think i can't to update from Asus anymore, right?

When asus updates the next OTA (oh say version ending in 0.15) devs like Diamondback can cook that into the rom, so the next version of this rom would include the update that asus put out

No once you unlock bootloader and put on cwm you cant do OTA updates. Developers make them flashable through cwm and thats how you get the newest updates most developers just bake them into their roms and update their roms

Even if you restore your "stock" backup... your still on a unlocked bootloader stock backup, & will not be able to OTA... but who cares if you're on a custom rom??

This is understandable...
It is confusing to hear about and see "sdcard" on the Prime. I mean, who thought of naming the internal memory "sdcard"?
I actually was a little confused about this myself.

Lesson learned (and this is something I typically do): Before I do the full wipe, I choose Install zip from sdcard and make sure my ROM or other zip is visible, then I go do the wipe! (It is so easy to copy to a wrong directory or whatever.)

Anyway, you will be able to do this with adb ... it's a little work, but just do what the others advised. All is not lost!

probably because android is designed to put all data for new apps, pictures, etc in the directory sdcard. This is good for phones which usually come with an sdcard (or you atleast get one).. but for the prime that comes with such large internal storage, you do not need an sdcard.. so maybe the solution is to name the internal storage directory sdcard so there is no confusion within the android files.

thats my best guess

Well this may be the dumbest question in xda history but once in CWM recovery what do you use to select or is this the touch version? I have only used cwm on phones with track balls therefore the only way ik how to select an option is clicking the trackball so could so mine help me out and tell me how to select options in cwm?

I believe he is stuck in cwm without a rom installed or in his sdcard

To who he quoted : make sure you are in cwm

    Virtuous S-Series​

    S-Series ROM's are pretty close to stock, with basic optimisations and tweaks. This series is designed for people who rely on their device 24/7 and are not looking for the latest and greatest features. These ROM's will only be updated if and when an official release is announced.
    We also encourage people to use these stable builds as bases for their own ROM's.

    More information can be found on our Blog.

    • Based on the lastest ASUS release (WW 9.4.2.28)
    • Deodexed
    • Fully zipaligned
    • De-bloated

    Useful Information​

    I changed the behaivior of the internal Power Modes.
    The Normal mode button now activates the 1.6Ghz mode.
    So you don't have to use any other apps anymore. Just boost your CPU via the built in Quicksettings. :)

    Instructions​

    • Make sure your Prime is unlocked and you have CWM installed (see this thread for help and a handy tool to do that)
    • Shut down the prime
    • Hold both the Power-button and the Volume-down button until the splash screen appears and some white text in the left top corner is visible
    • Release both buttons and press the Volume-up button
    • The device now boots into your CWM recovery
    • Make a backup of your current ROM
    • Inside CWM select "wipe data/factory reset" (optional but highly recommended)
    • Then flash the rom zip as usual

    Downloads​

    Make sure you do a full wipe (aka "wipe data/factory reset" in CWM) before flashing this!!!

    Please note that the ROM needs to settle down after the flash so give it at least 10 minutes after booting to reach the normal speed and smoothness!!!
