Transformer Prime bootloader unlock tool now available from ASUS
ASUS promised a bootloader unlock would be available for the Transformer Prime in February and has delivered. The company agreed to provide developers with tools that would grant deeper access to the tablet’s software after it was discovered that the Tegra 3 slate and followup to the original Transformer — a favorite among the mod and hack community — shipped with a bootloader impervious to tinkering, making the installation of custom Android builds difficult. The official unlock is available from ASUS now, but it doesn’t come without warning. As with any attempt to alter the software or hardware, even the official method will render your warranty useless and may limit the level of support ASUS will be willing to provide.
