Help looking for firmware .15 or .17 for Transformer Prime

[redheadedguy]

found a thread on how to root TF201 without unlocking, but you need to downgrade to .15 or .17, when the exploit was still open, then use OTA rootkeeper.
BUT, Asus pulled them off of website.
does anyone still have the file for US version squirreled away somewhere?

Someone on XDA forwarded this to me.
It contains several mirrors to get firmware from.

I noticed today I'm actually 4.0.3 now. The principle still seems sound. I might try it anyway.

Im downloading a copy too for safe keepings lol.

 

[redheadedguy]

I might fiddle around with it this weekend. With bootloader locked,I can't do too much damage. Besides, I have best buy protection. I can always smash it and say,"Oops, clumsy me"

Lol your crazy, thats what you were looking for right.

.15, .17, and .21 are all versions of 4.0.3...

The versions are actuallyTF201 system versions 9.4.2.15, 9.4.2.17, and 9.4.2.21. 4.0.3 is the Android version.

BTW, .17 is a Japanese version. You probably don't want that.

 

[redheadedguy]

Haha, thanks for info on .17
That would've sucked!

 

[redheadedguy]
