Here's the official nvidia link for the current linux version of nvflash. (the developer site is down but the download site is still functional)

Once you are back in fastboot mode having booted with the AndroidRoot bootloader it is finally time to generate your nvflash blob files with the following command:
I've noticed that when the battery is low, or during a sleep-of-death, when I attach it to dock it goes into a soft-bricked mode which causes me to wait until the prime dies. It will try booting the recovery kernel, but just sits on the TWRP Splash-Screen until I force the power-off. Then, it reboots and stays on the ASUS splash-screen until finally, dieing. I plug it up to A/C for about 20 mins. then, all is well. Very, very, weird!!! Hope this helps.I already bricked my TF201, stucked at eepad screen. =(
Can this method be used to recover? ex: anybody providing their blob and other necessary files so i can nvflash it? pleasee?? T_T
I can access fastboot though.
For those looking for wheelie for windows http://androidroot.mobi/2012/05/31/wheelie-for-windows-beta/
i have yet to try this out, so heres hoping it works. ill report back once i have tested
that version is for the tf101 and is very different, it doesn't support the blobs generated by this process
I just updated my recovery to TWRP 2.0, but does it matter that the version showing, when booting into recovery, says US_EEPAD_VERSION_9.*******.15? Asking, because nvidia's site states downlod is "for TF201 9.*****.28 unlocked bootloader versions", or something like that. So, the question is TO NVFLASH or NOT TO NVFLASH it? Thanks in advance.
Here are the required files:
NVFlash for linux (I tried it on 64bit Ubuntu and it worked- run it in elevated su permissions):

You need a 64bit linux installation for wheelie (run it in su permissions as well) and nvflash. Fastboot steps can be done in windows without any problems.
Maybe. But consider it unsupported.
There is a much higher risk of issues though.
There will be a windows release of wheelie as soon as I get around to it.
So, now that I have created all of the backup files, is there a guide somewhere which explains how to restore my device if it does get bricked? Windows 7 X64......
