Okay so I’ve always felt that the Android development community was on top of their game, but this is insane. Hours, HOURS, after Asus released the bootloader unlock tool for the Transformer Prime developers were able to get Clockwork Recovery and a CyanogenMod 9 build onto the device. This only suggests that the development community for this device is about to take off and grow exponentially. If you’re wanting to install the custom recovery on your Tegra 3 tablet then follow the following instructions:
CWM Blob – Link
CWM Image for Fastboot – Link
Instructions:
- Root your TFP
- Download blob file
- adb push blob file /data/local
- adb shell & su
- dd if=/data/local/blobfile of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
- Reboot!
- 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):
- Get fastboot from here, and extract it.
- Download the CWM image for fastboot, and put it in the same folder as where you extracted fastboot.
- Power off your prime.
- Boot with Volume-down pressed. Wait when you see text appearing. The prime will then allow you to start “fastboot”.
- Open up a command-line prompt, and navigate to where you extracted fastboot with “cd”.
- Enter the following commandline to flash recovery: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery tfp_CWM5.SOS
- Profit!
Also, we did mention that there is a CM9 build on the Transformer Prime but before you get too excited, it’s not available for your downloading pleasure as of yet. The locked bootloader hindered the ability for devs to test the CM9 build for the Prime that’s already in development so before it gets released to the general public it needs to be tested. However these folks, the ones responsible for getting CWM onto the device, did release a video of CM9 on the Prime to whet our appetites.
You can scroll on down a bit further to check out the video and see CM9 on the Transformer Prime in all its glory. If you haven’t yet, check out our review on the Prime by going here. Big things are coming to the world’s first quad-core tablet. I’m excited for it. How about you?
