Rooted and booted.
Does Prime 1.4 always show that PC-bios-looking boot screen? Or is that something that only occurs when you finish using the NVFlash utility?
Devs are gonna have to change the formats of the rom zips. The way nvflash works it flashes system img files.

Yea but the first flash has to be system img format. Then use cwm all you want.

Nice, easy rooting and most importantly a great-and-easy unbricking tool! Can't wait for my TF to finally arrive
Just wanted to say thanks to these guys. I'm by no means sophisticated, but tonight I was able to root and flash Prime + the Clemsyn 3.1 kernal all in less than 45 minutes, with DL times. Now I'm rockin' at 1.6 per core and it seems stable.
Soooo, thanks again.

right now all they're using is prime but im sure we will see some rooted stock roms in nvflash format. But you could use this to root then reboot into recovery and flash one of the rooted stock roms in CWM. This method also flashes CWM for you.

backing up
Actually looks like this part pertains to backing up everything.
Not sure I can quite figure it out but I think I get the idea.Anybody want to chime in with specifics. Looks like these commands could be used for evil too, but that is def not my intention. Just backing up my stuff

THANK YOU to EVERYONE involved in making this possible, you guys ROCK!!!

Edit-This Prime ROM is pretty much stock, with some goodies thrown in like Spare Parts, I am going to stay with Prime like white on rice hehe

My goal would be to keep a backup of what I have on the tablet at the moment.
So my ideal would be:
Flash a CWM recovery and leave the rest stock.
At that stage I should be able to make a nandroid backup. This would allow me to always go back to my current status.
Then flash a rooted stock 3.1. The ideal would be to keep all installed applications intact. At that stage I should be able to backup all applications with Titanium Backup.
Then I should be good to flash any custom ROM. I should be always be able to restore my apps from Titanium.
Any way to do that?

10Secure Boot Key = 0x1682CCD8 0x8A1A43EA 0xA532EEB6 0xECFE1D98
All current device give root forever and an unbricker tool.
Source: https://twitter.com/#!/DroidRay/status/784711101187358729
This allows us to grab boot.img off device, root it, then flash it back.
It will work on *any* firmware update that ASUS will ever release.
The method for getting the SBK won't work for other devices. Also, the Acer Iconia has separate SBK's for each device, so you can't just get 'one' key. I'm sure something will be out for that device soon enough
The tools will be released soon. I still need to verify I'm not releasing anything that's copyrighted and potentially illegal, and then I'll pack it all up and throw it out there! Keep updated on me & Bumble-Bee's site1This allows us to use APX mode! I hope a developer can use this ASAP and its the correct one. APX mode will open up some awesome doors like being able to unbrick any TF from any situation.
Sent from my TF Decepticon1This link was posted on twitter explaining how it all works for anyone unsure:
http://androidroot.mobi/tf-secure-boot-key/1I'm thrilled with your optimisim on 15 minutets. I too do not want to revert just to root, am happy going along.
I used to consider myself good on Android until I got the Nexus 4g - allegedly so simple, but it was not for me! I used wrong Nexus bootloader, fried phone erasing everything, Sprint wouldn't touch, so after 2 days of no phone with lots of reading on these and other forums, figured out how to get it back. Now unlocked and rooted but love GB without custom rom.
Kind of like Honeycomb - right now its so new, everything is running good and can't see anythings I want to take the time, meaning possible trouble, to change. And I also have faith our developers will make this easier and easier.
But glad this was found, it will make the future brighter as more people get these and learn to manipulate!!
