http://communities.vmware.com/message/1649301
add the following lines to your .vmx file
usb.quirks.device0 = "0x4e8:0x681d skip-reset" # Mass Storage
usb.quirks.device1 = "0x4e8:0x68a9 skip-reset" # Media

[Q] usb drivers not working on XP

I'm on XP, I downloaded the drivers from Asus support site for my TF101.
When I connect the device it's loaded as 'Unknown Device'. So I open up the properties through Device Manager > 'Drivers' tab > Update Driver > go through the steps to manually specify the driver file (that I downloaded from Asus) and I get:
The specified location does not contain information about your hardware.

I looked at the driver file and I do see some lines for my device:
[ASUS.NTx86]
; TF101
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4E1F&MI_01
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4E3F&MI_02
; SL101
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4E01&MI_01
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4E03&MI_02
; A60
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4D01&MI_01
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4D03&MI_02
; Fastboot for all projects
%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4DAF
[ASUS.NTamd64]
; TF101
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4E1F&MI_01
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4E3F&MI_02

(I'm on x86)
The 'USB\VID...' is something I saw before under the properties of the Unknown Device. Under the Details tab:
USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\5&32FD0D5E&0&2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The format doesn't look exactly right, but I tried adding this to the driver file anyway and attempted to load the driver file again. Same result.
It worries me that both the VID/PID is 0000.
I also tried loading the driver file contained in tf_rootkit_31.zip
from this post: [ROM] UPDATED Transformer pure root tw/us/ww/de/jp (8.4.4.5/11/12/8.6.5.6/7) - xda-developers
Same result.
Gettin frustrated... any suggestions.
TIA
Try uninstalling any drivers already there and install Asus sync. That did it for me at least.
Thanks for the response.
I have Asus Sync installed, but I installed midway between trying to get the tablet recognized.
Should I disconnect the tablet and reinstall Asus sync? (I'll try it.)
When you say remove the drivers there, do you mean all usb drivers? Right now it's just showing up as 'Unknown Device' in the device manager (no yellow exclamation either) which I think means there is no driver. What I mean is I don't think it's installing a default driver. I'm not sure if or how to remove this default 'Unknown Device' functionality.
Also doesn't it seem weird that the VID/PID is all 0000s... Is that a problem with the tablet or the PC?
The issue look like the usb cable or the connecter fail. It isn't a software issue. You can change the usb cable in first to check the issue.
One thing for xp, you need to have wmv 11 installed. It includes drivers needed for the tf101
Thanks for the responses.
I'll have to check my WMP version tonight.
The cable works for charging, but I'll look into getting it replaced.
Just wanted to give an update. I purchased a new adapter and data cable. Plugged it in and nothing....
Didn't even recognize the tablet was connected!
So I tried another laptop with XP and the same thing. I went back to the old cable and sometimes it pops up that a device is connected, most of the time nothing. I tested the USB ports with a USB stick, pops up everytime so I'm pretty sure it's the tablet. I still don't know if it's hardware or software, but I don't think its the cable.
I decided to contact asus support. Hopefully I'll get some sort of response.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Just a suggestion, try installing android sdk and setting up adb.

Sorry, I may have forgotten to mention it, but I installed sdk early on in the process. Thanks just the same, have a good evening.
It's ok. Was just something that came to mind. Another thing if you're rooted then you can try
Booting into recovery and see if adb works in recovery mode.

Did you make sure wmv player 11 was installed?
I had two issues with xp, one was wmv player 11 not installed. But then there was another reason that the device driver wasn't working. Look in control panel->system->device manager, and check out the driver for the unknown device. If it lists an error, there is a microsoft fix for it.
Try installing going to download.microsoft.com/download/2/0/9/20944076-988f-487c-89fa-d37718782948/Microsoft_User-Mode_Driver_Framework_Install-v1.0-WinXP.exe it work for me.
USB tethering grayed
Even though I have connected the Transformer to a laptop (WinXP) with a USB cable the Transformer doesn't recognize its presence. Doesn't matter which USB port I connect to.
I am having this same problem, I have the mtp drivers from the ASUS website, I have the drivers for NVFlash, I have ADB installed (though it may be outdated, my android sdk is for Froyo I believe).
Getting my TF to connect to my laptop (Win 7 64bit, Media Player 12) is hit and miss, I usually have to reboot my laptop with the TF plugged in to get a connection.
No devices are listed in computer management or devices and printers when it doesnt show up. Nothing shows up on the TF (no notifications for ASUS Sync or USB Debugging).
When it does show up, I get a message in Windows saying the drivers failed to install correctly, but then it works.
I'm unsure if this is a Windows issue (perhaps with mtp support), or a TF issue (I've heard the TF doesn't like to recognize being connected/disconnected to the dock, perhaps there is an issue with the proprietary port).
I've had this issue over multiple ROMS...
If your windows has more than 1 user profiles, did you log-on using the profile with administrator privileges?

On my laptop i only have one account, it has administrator privileges.
I'm also facing the same problem with my win7 x64 detecting the tf (a B40... model). Wonder if this due to a faulty data cable?

I just wanted to post an update:
While it is a little early to tell, I believe I have fixed this issue on my 64bit Win 7 Laptop. (Not sure if every step is necessary, but these are the steps I followed.)
Disclaimer: I do not guarantee that these steps will work for everybody, and I am not responsible for any mistakes made or problems that arise from following these steps. Please only follow these steps if you understand what you are doing. You take full responsibility for your actions.
Note: You need to be able to get a connection between the TF and computer, for me I had to reboot my computer every time I wanted my computer to see my TF, if you are completely unable to establish a connection these steps will not work.
What I did:
1. Go into control panel> programs and features.
2. Click on "Turn Windows features on and off" (or something similar to that in other Windows versions).
3. Uncheck/turn off "Windows Media Player" (may be in a sub folder like media features). (Windows Media Player is responsible for MTP drivers (which the TF uses), you will be prompted to restart the computer, please do so.)
4. Make sure your TF is being recognized by the computer (I had to reboot with it plugged in for it to be seen again).
5. Open up the device manager (just run a search for device manager OR open the start menu> right click on computer> manage, click on device manager).
6. Expand "portable devices".
7. Right click on the TF and choose "uninstall". (The TF will only be listed if it is currently being seen by the computer (i.e. you are able to transfer files).)
8. Unplug the TF and plug it back in. The drivers should be reinstalled, hopefully correctly.
Note: I haven't turned Windows Media Player back on yet (don't have much use for it, except maybe my zune). Not sure if turning it back on will have an effect or not.
Please take care when editing any Windows settings, I hope this works for Vista/XP as well.

Can't connect to pc

Bought this Galaxy S USED yesterday
I cant get it to connect to my pc
i have done the following.
-installed and reinstalled Kies several times
-Installed and reinstalled drivers several times
-Tried 4 different usb cables
-Tried in USB debugging mode
My phone connects to the pc and then i get a message that my phone is not recognized (windows error 43)
The phone does charge . I have tried all of the options like Samsung Kies , Mass storage , Media player
Nothing seems to work when i select media player option the mpt application starts to crash , i have read on forums that if the mtp crashes i can just select mass storage mode but when i select mass storage mode my pc says device not recognized
When i checked the Build info it says on Kernel Version 2.6.29 [email protected] #4
Firmware version is 2.1-update-1
Build number is Eclair.XWJM2
Please help me with this , i thought maybe there if i flash everything but in order to flash it i need to connect it to my pc which is becoming impossible
have you installed the usb drivers for it? What windows you running?
installed drivers several times but it doesnt seem to help
windows 7 32 bit
You can try using a program called usbdeview. Google it and download it. It shows you all of the drivers installed on your computer. Delete all of the drivers affiliated with your phone. Make sure USB Debugging is checked and connect your phone and allow it to install the drivers automatically. It might work, either way, worth a try.

[Q] Installing USB Drivers for ADB in Recovery

It's been bugging me for a while that I can't use ADB while in recovery. It's a matter of getting the drivers installed correctly, I think, I just don't know exactly how to do it. When the phone is booted I can use ADB and MTP just fine. Odin sees my phone in download mode as well. The only problem is in recovery. I'm using TWRP 2.3.3.0, but I've had the problem on previous version of TWRP and CWM. I have the Samsung USB drivers installed, and when the phone is booted Device Manager (in Windows 7) says the drivers being used are from Samsung. However, when in recovery Device Manager shows SAMSUNG_Android_SCH-I535 with the yellow '!' and says no drivers are installed. I can try to choose the drivers to install manually, but if I point to the Samsung USB Drivers folder, Windows can't find the right drivers automatically and there are 25 subfolders with somewhat cryptic names, so I don't know which to choose.
Does anyone know how to get ADB working in recovery?
EDIT: Got it working. I don't know anything about how drivers work, but I dug around a little and it turns out the device shows different Hardware IDs when booted versus when in recovery. The drivers .inf has to contain one of the Hardware IDs given by the device so after finding the driver being used by Windows (by searching for the Class GUID given in the driver details when the phone was booted and searching through all the .infs in the Samsung drivers folder for the matching string) I just added a line with one of the Hardware IDs given in recovery so Windows would install the driver. I tested with adb devices, adb shell and adb pull default.prop and each worked fine.
For anyone interested the driver being used is in 25_escape. In the file ssudadb.inf just add the line
Code:
%CompositeAdbInterface% = ssud.Install, <Hardware ID>
under [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64], where <Hardware ID> is one of the Hardware IDs given by your phone when in recovery. In Windows, go to the Device Manger > right click your phone > Properties > Details tab > Hardware IDs in the drop down. Mine was
Code:
%CompositeAdbInterface% = ssud.Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D001
Then update the driver, browse for drivers, pick the 25_escape folder, and you're good to go. The driver will fail a security check because you've modified it, I ignored it.
I imagine this could cause a problem if some other device uses the same Hardware ID (e.g. if it's some sort of generic or default one that's given in recovery) but I'll cross the bridge if I come to it. There may be some safer way to force driver installation.
EDIT: After doing this you'll get a warning when you plug your phone while it's booted. It will say something to the effect of Hardware ID missing or not being able to identify the device plugged in. This isn't a problem though, ADB and MTP still work fine and the device is identified properly in Device Manager.

[HELP] Diag not detected

I have a Tab 2 7.0, and I have my IMEI Erased.
Tried every method found in the forums but no luck.
I found that QPST or NV_write method can get my IMEI back but I am unable to connect my tab to PC
when I switch my mode to modem from PDA in *#7284# and connect to my PC
My PC detects its as 7cds + comneon Suspend and failed to install the drivers.
I've Kies installed but no luck
Switched USB port but result is same
switched PC but same
tried my friend's tab (same like mine) with settings USB->Modem to see weather there is problem with my USB but again no drivers.... i. e. no probs with my tab
Tried This method
You need to swith UART and USB settings:
enter UART mode with *#9090# and select "Log via UART"
then
enter *#7284# and select "UART MODEM" and select "USB PDA".
Now Windows ask normal samsung drivers!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but i don't have the "log via UART" instide I have "log via USB" which upon selecting gives me an error ""LOG PATH SET FAIL".
and then on selecting Modem on Diag menu gives me the same responce...
note: I dont have the DM+MODEM+ADB but only modem or PDA option... I guess it said to be "mux menu" for us.. correct me if I am wrong
Please Help me...

Galaxy S6 = "unknown USB device" ?

Hi, since Samsung has finished support for Galaxy S6, i'd like to install the latest lineageOS on my SM-G920F. It has the latest (and last) official Samsung ROM (Nougat) and recovery and is not rooted, so I have to establish a USB-connection to a PC. But when I connect the device to my computer, it won't be detected. I've tried several different connectors on 3 different PCs running Windows 7, Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. But the device never gets recognized, neither in working nor in download mode.
When I connect it to a Windows PC in download mode, I receive a message on my PC, that an unknown device has been connected. Now I start the "Zadig" tool (part of the heimdall suite for windows) to install the drivers and make it list all devices, but it just shows me an unknown USB device with VID 0000 and PID 0002.
Samsung drivers are installed on Windows PCs
USB debugging is enabled on device
ADB and heimdall are installed on Ubuntu PC
Any suggestions on how to install TWRP and lineageOS with or without USB connection?
