I&#8217;ve tried a solution on XDA and the answer is Yes, you can.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To make it possible, you need to follow these steps exactly:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. Backup all data in your Internal SD Card with a backup app like Titanium Backup.<\/p>\n<p>2. Download NVflash and Prime 1.5.<\/p>\n<p>3. Extract NVFlash and Prime v1.5 to the same directory. The image files of Prime v1.5 should be unpacked into the NVFLashTF folder.<\/p>\n<p>4. Connect your Asus Transformer to PC via USB. Then simultaneously hold the up volume and Power button until a device named <strong>APX<\/strong> appears in the Device Manager. The screen of the Transformer could turn black but there is no problem.<\/p>\n<p>5. Go to the APX device and install its drivers from directory USBPCDriver (in NVFlash)<\/p>\n<p>6. Run Download.bat (Windows) or Download.sh (Linux).<\/p>\n<p>7. After a while (about 10 minutes), your device will be rebooted, then there will be a setup wizard. At this step, choose the connection <strong>3G and Wifi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>8. Download these files:<\/p>\n<p>tf101 huawei install scripts.zip<br \/>\nPatch 3g acer31stock usb.zip<br \/>\nDriver AT<br \/>\n<a title=\"JDK\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oracle.com\/technetwork\/java\/javase\/downloads\/jdk-6u26-download-400750.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">JDK<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"android sdk\" href=\"http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/softy-warely\/downloads\/detail?name=android-sdk_r07-windows.zip&amp;can=2&amp;q=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Android SDK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>After installing Android SDK, you will see the Tools folder there. Extract the 2 files tf101 huawei install scripts.zip and Patch 3g acer31stock usb.zip to this folder.<\/p>\n<p>9. Connect Transformer to PC. Go to Transformer&#8217;s Settings &#8211; Applications &#8211; Development to enable <strong>USB Debugging<\/strong>.
