Obtaining the Bootloader Unlock Application
If the Bootloader on the Asus Transformer Prime has already been unlocked, you may skip this section.
You will need the Android SDK on the computer to install this application.
Navigate to Asus' Support Site for the TF700T.
From the drop-down menu, select Android.
Expand the section titled Utilities.
Download the file named Unlock Device App (V7) and save it in the SDK folder with adb.
Install the APK using adb from the terminal:
adb install UnLock_Device_App_V7.apk
Run the application from the tablet and agree to the terms.
Reboot the device.

Flash a Custom Recovery
Download koush's ClockworkMod Recovery.
koush's ClockworkMod Recovery: download
md5: f659bea8c720cf80144839d8532fe058
Make sure the fastboot binary is in your PATH or that you place the downloaded image in the same directory as fastboot.
Open a terminal on your PC and reboot the device into fastboot mode by typing adb reboot bootloader or by using the hardware key combination.

shut down
Hold down power and vol. down button until buzz
should see 3 icons (RCK, android, wipe data) after a bit
type fastboot devices - should see tablet
type the following (from within your fastboot/adb directory) to send image:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.3-tf700t.img
Once the recovery is installed, a message saying finished/OKAY will show up.
type fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

Turn machine off again.  Boot into recovery by holding power and volume down buttons until it buzzes
it should boot into clockwork recovery. From here make a backup of your current system by selecting backup
with the volume up/down button and then pressing the power button to select.  Once backed up, boot once again
normally (not holding any buttons down).  COpy the image file to someplace safe on your external sd card and on another computer

Installing cyanmodgen
Wipe caches!!
Once in CWM, you are going to want to preform a couple of wipes to make sure anything from the stock rom is gone. You will first select factory reset from the main menu. Second will be a wipe cache from the main menu. Third will be format system in the mounts and storage. Fourth will be format/wipe (can't remember which) dalvik cache under the advanced menu option.
Download the prebuilt release of CyanogenMod you wish to install. (Or if you've built CM yourself, look in the $OUT directory for the .zip.)
Optional: Download any supplemental 3rd-party applications packages for the device you wish to use.
You may well need now to hold of adb for your platform. Typically this involves downloading the entire Android SDK from Google, to run this one binary once; this is however a zip file, not an installer, so it's not so painful. Once unzipped, you will find the adb binary in the sdk/platform-tools directory of the unzipped Android SDK.
Place the CyanogenMod rom .zip file on the root of the SD card:
Transfer your file(s): adb push YOURROMZIP.zip /sdcard/
If you boot directly to recovery and have an internal sdcard, you may need to run adb shell mount /data or mount data through the recovery menu before transferring.
If you see "error: device not found" there is likely a driver issue on the PC.
See adb documentation for additional help with this step.
On some devices, the zip file can be copied to the device using standard USB storage or MTP support.
Optional: Place any supplemental packages (eg Google Apps or kernel) .zip file(s) on the root of the SD card.
Boot to recovery mode on the device .
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the physical volume buttons to move up and down. On most devices, the power button is used to confirm your selection, although for some devices the power button is used as a "back" button to go up one level, in which case the home button is used to confirm the selection.
Optional/Recommended: Select backup and restore to create a backup of the current installation on the device.
Select the option to wipe data/factory reset.
Select install zip from sdcard.
Select choose zip from sdcard.
Select the CyanogenMod file you placed on the sdcard. You will then need to then confirm that you do wish to flash this file.
Optional: Install any additional packages you wish using the same method.
Once the installation has finished, return back to the main menu, and select the reboot system now option. The device should now boot into CyanogenMod.
