Let me get this right. Your "NVIDIA" logo is down the bottom on the right hand side?
If it is that means you are on the Jellybean bootloader. CWM is for ICS bootloader. If you have flashed CWM while on the Jellybean bootloader and cannot get into fastboot then you have hard bricked your device.
Warranty will not be available as you have unlocked your prime and Asus will charge you to replace the motherboard.
If you originally had Hairybean TWRP on there and it was working that was not the problem as I made that and I only made it for the Jellybean bootloader. You was probably trying to flash CM10 which was only for the ICS bootloader where as CM10.1 is for the Jellybean bootloader and that is why you couldn't get it to work originally.
One last thing. Did you ever do the nvflash process and keep the backup files? I can help you fix it if you did.

Hi people,
I need your urgent help!
My TF201 was running on hairy rom.
I wanted to update/change to CM10 latest nightly (I really dislike the asus crap).
I tried several times via TWRP and goo manager but it would boot up (only saw the asus logo).
Then I thought it might have been the recovery.
I booted in fastboot mode and flashed CWM (recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.8-tf201.img and md5 was correct).
Looked fine.
Then I wanted to reboot into recovery but it simply did not.
Tried it 5/6 times but nothing.
So I booted up again in fastboot mode and flashed the latest TWRP (2.3.3).
Again I rebooted to recovery but it still failed.
I do not have NVflash because I bought this device 2nd hand and it was allready upgraded to JB bootloader so I could us NV.
Is my device bricked? Is there a way to solve this?
Please help me but keep in mind, I'm a "noob" (do know stuff but not very much).
Thnx in advance!

I can get in fastboot mode but can't get in recovery mode. The latest nightlies are JB roms right?
If I can get in recovery, I could restore nandroid I made before starting this journey.
Could the custom build TWRP version from hairy be the reason? As far as I know, the only difference are cosmetics (othe backgropund and buttons, like a theme)
Sorry about the wrong section for my question. Am to pissed atm so I did not look good where I should have asked this.
Can my question be moved by somebody?
Re: [Q] Help! can get in recovery!
Well I don't know about the CM10 nightlies. But most likely that custom twrp didn't do it. I'm not an expeet in any of this stuff. Also what happens when you go to recovery? And only mods can move threads to another section
Also I edited my first post but ypu answered too quickly What version of hairu bean were tou running and did you wipe when you flashed cm10?

There is not a version of CWM that is for the Jellybean bootloader. The quickest way to hard brick your device is to install a recovery meant for ICS onto Jellybean bootloader.
If you can still access fastboot then you have a chance, if you cannot still access fastboot then I'm sorry but flashing CWM has hard bricked you.
Then I'm a lucky bastard!
Managed to reflash stock TWRP (without the theme).
After 2 times flashing, I could boot in recovery again. The nandroid was copied to external SD which I could restore and the Prime is running again!
I think I'll keep it on Hairy (which runs fine on 1.7 kernel) and will wait to the promised update (around november 2012) of Asus to 4.2 cause I really like the multi user option
Thnx all for helping me out!
Hey guys,
I am really hoping someone can please help me out with this, as I am travelling and relying on my transformer to get me around. This is what I’ve done: basically I didn’t like the stock software, so I updated from ICS to JB, downloaded the unlock tool, unlocked the bootloader and rooted my tablet and installed TWRP recovery
From there I installed some version of Paranoid Android which kept freezing up and being jittery, so I figured I’d play it safe with a stable cm10 build, tried to flash it with TWRP and it just got stuck on the ASUS splashscreen, which I later realised was due to TWRP not being at the latest version (did I mention I am clearly a total rookie).
So I flashed paranoid back, and tried to update TWRP which I couldn’t get my head around (GooManager wouldn’t allow me to update it) so I decided to try ClockworkMod Recovery, which I downloaded this .zip and just flashed it over the top, which I thought you could do… Now my tablet won’t boot past the Asus splashscreen, nor will it boot into recovery. I could access the bootloader screen before but now I can’t.
The only thing I can think to do that worked for someone somewhere on the internet was to just let the battery run dead and then try holding down the Vol Down + Power.
Can anyone recommend anything? Or at least tell me what I’ve done?
thanks all

CWM is not compatible with Jellybean. Unfortunately you are hard bricked.
Why didn't you make a backup with NvFlash? If you did that you could restore your tablet.
Hi there,
i got a Transformer Prime and yesterday the Standart Rom, espacially the Performance really bugged me. So i UnLocked the Bootloader und wanted to read more about flashing. UnLocking was working, i restartet the Prime, Reset to Factory Default and now wanted to Save all Data using nvFlash.
Sadly now its stuck on the Splash Screen. I can only jump into APX mode (Vol Up + Power), not in Recovery. Since i done the UnLock i lost my Warrenty (nice if this Programm brakes your Device!).
So is there any slight chance to get it back to normal without sending it to ASUS?
Thx for the help!

I also have the same problem.
I have latest stock jelly bean on my TF201. I wanted to install custom rom so
1. I unlocked the bootloader
2. I installed CWM rom manager APK
3. I flashed latest CWM recovery
4. on CWM app on android I selected boot to recovery
5. phone reboots but never got to recovery.
6. now stuck on reboot loop but I can still get to fast boot
7. this was the mistake. I did a wipe data and now its stuck at reboot loop but cant get fast boot or anything anymore just stuck at asus splash screen.
someone is trying to do a hardware debug fix. maybe someone can fix this

The first problem is you should NEVER choose to wipe from the bootloader. If you have an incompatible recovery (read older version recovery with newer version bootloader) you will brick.
The second problem with CWM is it IS NOT compatible with the latest bootloaders. It will brick if you flash it.
Unfortunately both of you have been caught out by these

So I was able to sell the bricked TF201 to someone with a broken screen, then I bought another used TF201. Now I am going to take it slow and do it right. Can someone help answers some of my question on a thread I created ?

Hi, Guys.
I was trying to upgrade to a JB ROM, so I started following threads here and there. I got that I need to upgrade my bootloader to a JB one, since I still have the ICS Bootloader, and that I must have a TWRP Recovery (I still have Clockwork Touch).
I finally found a package containing both, so I flashed it. I have afterwords realized that it was for tf300 and not tf201.
My tablet is now stuck at Eeepad logo, but I can still access clockwork recovery holding power+volume down. I can't actually power off the device, 'cause it keep rebooting so I'm basically suck in the recovery. Tried do restore a nandbackup, but it does't boot because I have the wrong bootloader I guess. I've tried to find the correct JB bootloader to flash it, but all the links I've found are broken, so I actually can't do anything. I'm terrified to run totally out of battery (I don't know if it's charging or not at the moment) so I need to fix it ASAP.
Has anyone a link to the correct bootloader to flash? Do I need to change recovery? If so, why? How?
Can anybody post a link to the Androwook 1.3 rom release? It seems that it has the JB bootloader included, but I can't find it anymore.
Thank you very much!
Solved with the rom linked in the second post from this thread:

I have a massive issue...
Somehow I lost my TWRP recovery and when I tried to reflash it, I got the "software unauthorized by Verizon error" each time I started my phone.
I thought, no biggy, I'll just reflash back to VRALJB and all will be well with the world. Did it. No problem.
I then tried to unlock the bootloader. This is when all hell broke loose. I had to reflash VRALJB again and since then, I started getting stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" screen (the first one, immediately after the phone turns on). I could not enter recovery using the (Volume UP + PWR + HOME) key combo. I could only enter download mode and use odin.
I tried everything. The only thing that worked was downloading the stock 4.4.2 Verizon image released a few days ago from sammobile.com
(I605VRUFND7_I605VZWFND7_VZW).
Now, I do not have root and my bootloader is locked, but at least I have a working phone and KitKat.
Hopefully the above helps someone, but, my question is, where do I go from here?
How do I go about installing a custom recovery and getting root? I would like to keep stock 4.4.2 as well and before anyone asks why, I want custom recovery for the sole purpose of managing my TWRP backups. Stock OS though.
Since you updated to 4.4.2, there isn't much you can do. No root, no recovery, no safestrap...yet. The only thing you can do is wait for developers to find a way to root this version of android.
Hi my friend, I have met the same problem, so could you tell me how to get that I605VZWFND7_VZW rom~
Please~~
