You sure? Which ones did you try?

I tried the one available in Asus official website.

You could try these drivers here. If nothing else, you can use ADB to transfer files, if that's your main concern.

It says "unknown device" after you installed those drivers?

unknown device > try to update the driver > FAIL
FYI: The issue occurred on 2 different computers with 2 different OSs .

In which section of a Windows Device Manager does the unknown device appear?

What do you think ?
And sorry for bothering you

It's no bother, just trying to help out.
Can you try to force install drivers? From the Device Manager, choose to update the driver software -> browse my computer for driver software -> let me pick of a list of device drivers on my computer -> and then choose one of the ones you see. Or even uncheck the compatible hardware box and look for a Generic USB driver. It's a long shot.

It did not work ( It said " the wizard couldn't find a better match for your hardware than software you currently have installed " although when I check for the current installed driver It said ' No driver Installed "
BUT:
I'm going to install a new OS bcuz I have issue with current one and try again but its late now in KSA ( 12 am ) so will do that tomorrow.
Thank you for your kind help. really appreciate that.
See you soon

That's weird. By going through that process, it should force Windows to install the drivers, even if they aren't compatible with the device. Although it's been a long while since I used XP, so I'm not really sure anymore what it's capable of doing.

That's not the problem here. OP says the drivers or any others aren't able to be installed to the device.

Exactly. Even after installing a fresh copy of XP, the issue persists :silly:
I'll try again and again until I fix the problem OR I break my PC

Hmm.. If it still says unknown device it shouldn't be a problem with the cable, since the computer can at least detect the device being connected.
I'll dig around when I get back home to my PC to see which driver I used to connect successfully.

here. its been a while since i did my tf101 first root, and a while since ive even used a windows computer, but i still had everything left on it. heres a link to the asus sync installer, the android usb drivers, adb, and fastboot executeables, and some other root **** that i cant remember what was for, kernel, and recovery blob i believe. nowmif these drivers dont get your device known on the windows machine then nothing will.
i'm pretty sure the google usb windows driver for adb connections is in there too. if not then you can just download the android-sdk for windows and install it from the <sdk>/extras/google/usb_driver/ directory.

[Q] Can't unroot: ADB doesn't work in bootloader mode, but works in debug mode

The phone is unlocked, with clockworkmod recovery 6.0.1.0 and stock rooted 4.1.1 ROM.
I'm using Windows 7 x64 SP1.
When the phone is ON and the debug mode is activated, it shows correctly under "device manager" and adb works right, but when I reboot in bootloader ADB doesn't see any attached device even if it shows correctly under device manager.
I tried to update the USB driver of the Android SDK but dosn't work
I then uninstalled it and tried to install the Universal Naked Driver (almost all of the nexus or samsung types) but doesn't work
I uninstaleld it and tried another USB driver found on the forum but doesn't work.
I tried to install Android SDK on another PC with Windows 7 x86 SP1 and repeat all the steps but it's the same.
How can I unroot and lock the device if it doesn't shows when in bootloader mode?

You don't use adb in bootloader. You use fastboot.
Locking the bootloader does not unroot by the way.

Have you tried the Nexus Root Toolkit by WugFresh? It is an application that takes you in several easy steps in installing drivers, rooting, and lock/unlock your device. For installing drivers there are several additional steps when installing them seems unsuccessful.

This is true, I've used Wugfresh toolkit too but I had some problem...
I've Nexus S 9023, with wug toolkit I had no problem to install driver with its very complete guide, this part can solve your problem but make attention on other function, for example with it I've also unlocked my phone but when I tried to root my device freeze.
So maybe that not all toolkit function will work well on all Nexus S.

Please stop with this toolkit nonsense.
Its not a driver issue at this point. Its the user using ADB instead of fastboot.
Remove this and that when he is just using the wrong command. This is the nonsense you see when all people know is some toolkit.

Yeah, I'm an idiot, that was not a driver issue
it's just because I usually root/unroot/unlock/lock my android phones once in a while (when I first buy and when I sell them), so I always forget some basic procedures and searching through the forums is always a mess, I spent three hours doing that, before posting...
I had forgotten ADB and fastboot weren't the same... anyway, I solved with WugFresh (I didn't know it, thanks for the tip) but I could have solved even with plain fastboot commands, I know
Anyway, I'm surprised to realize that the real stock ROM is more stable than the rooted and deodexed stock ROM I was using before, now the 3G/2G/airplanemode swithing is blazing fast and the performance drops on some games are gone... I'll never figure out this Android world
Thanks for all your help :victory:

[Q] twrp manager to downgrade??

I've been reading and researching for weeks and have finally decided to unlock and install twrp recovery. I have successfully unlocked, but that is as far as I can get. For some reason, my win7 pc thinks my tf700 is a Samsung android phone. In the pc device manager, under Samsung android phone is where my asus adb interface device shows up. Clicking on properties of the Samsung phone does not produce any drivers to uninstall and uninstallation of the phone works, but reinstalls when I connect my tf700. So, I'm stuck. I'm wondering if I can use twrp manager from the playstore to install 10.6.1.14.8.zip to downgrade and then root, install twrp from goo manager ? Fastboot method of installing twrp has not worked for me either, I'm thinking because of the drivers issue. Any one have any thoughts of where I can go from here ? I'd really like to get a custom rom on my tablet.

Strange problem. Did you have the drivers for a Samsung phone installed prior?
It would be good if you could solve the driver issue - just so that you have fastboot access to your tab in the future.
Sure, you could downgrade to .8 and use Motochopper to root, then GooMangager to install TWRP (though I have never heard of TWRP manager to install stock firmware???), a quick search on the forums will give you the steps.
But to solve the driver issue, you may want to try to install the Universal Naked Drivers from Google, or install the Android SDK tool and through it the Platform Tools and drivers. I would prefer the latter.

yes, I rooted, twrp'd and installed bone stock on my vzw gs3.
I have used guides to install platform tools, put them in my PATH so I could use a cmd prompt from anywhere, plus I've tried to install the naked drivers and everytime I connect the tablet it goes through the installing drivers through windows update and and says my 700 is a Samsung phone. I uninstall the drivers, don't let it use windows update for drivers, and point it toward naked drivers folder (unzipped) and it doesn't install. says I still have a Samsung phone. click on Samsung phone in device manager and have asus adb interface under it. I must be missing something. maybe I'll redo my platform tools and see if maybe I missed an important step or typed something wrong. when I connect my 700 to the pc in fastboot, it isn't recognized. what should be happening ? what should I be seeing ?

Once connected in fastboot, if you type 'fastboot devices' (without the '), you should see the serial number of your tablet. Otherwise you see: No devices found or something to the effect.

[Q] Xperia L Drivers?

Hello,
My Windows 7 PC is not able to detect the drivers for Xperia L. I have already installed the PC Companion and also installed the Flash Tool drivers, ADB Universal Drivers. Still it doesn't detect the device.
ADB Debugging is enabled.
Can you give a download link for the drivers?
Thanks.

Try a different approach. Go into your device manager on your PC. You can go into device manager by going into properties of MY COMPUTER or Control Panel\System and Security\System
When your device is connected, do you see an exclamation mark in devices. Reinstall it by finding drivers manaually.
IF this all fails, just delete the device and refresh it.
Another very useful trick is to delete the unknow device (xperia L) and restart your Xperia L. Then search for device changes. it will be detected automatically.
Is your MTP ticked in Xperia / Connection/ USB connection on your phone ?

Unfortunately, I have done all that. Isn't there a driver setup file for this phone? Can't seem to find it anywhere.
Thanks!

I'm facing the same problem.
I'm tryng to unlock the boot loader following the instructions on Sony website, but when it comes to use fastboot it just keep saying <waiting for device>.
And I have installed all the stuff you said, too.

Oh I remember, i was facing the same problem for bootloader. I am uploading the drivers. These should work. The trick is download the 2kb file and past it into google drivers and then find them from the PC.
Good Luck.

the whole of this was my phone was softbricked. I wanted to get into recovery so I could use ADB to try to fix it. When it's softbricked, ADB won't start up, therefore I could use ADB.
Trust me, I know how to use ADB, I just wanted to know if there was a key combination to get our phones into recovery mode with ADB because ADB wouldn't work because my phone was softbricked. It had nothing to do with me not knowing how to use ADB or how to set it up, it had to do with my phone would brick it self before ADB started, so therefore I couldn't send any ADB commands.

DRivers for Xperia L
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46681107#post46681107

Problem solved. It was tricky, though.
Having PC companion installed wincrap didn't make me choose other drivers.
So I disabled the signature verification for drivers -> rebooted -> connected Phone while pressing the vol UP -> opened device manager -> select s1boot fastboot (which had a warning icon) -> selected driver manually (the .inf file we replaced following the first steps.
then i just used cmd as in the guide.
et voilà, bootloader unlocked.
I hope this is helpful to those who faced my same problem.

Driver Issues

For whatever Reason I cannot get the drivers installed on either of my computers and thus cannot unlock the bootloader for my device. I am familair with rooting and installing roms as I have done so on two separate devices previously. However, I cannot get the phone to be recognized in Device manager with either the Samsung drivers or the Google drivers. All I get is The One with the yellow exclamation point.
Anybody else had this issue? If not does anybody have any suggestions as to what may be causing the issue?
Thanks!

I just tried and still no luck. Also the Universal Naked Drivers didn't have any sort of install file so I'm not entirely sure what do do after I've downloaded. I tried using the "Have Disk" option but no luck. Maybe you know how to use them ?
I did a full uninstall of all the previous drivers I had installed for the One and uninstalled the device in device mgr prior to downloading the universal naked ones.
Also, the device is recognized fine in MTP mode. It goes to the "Unknown" Status once I turn on Debugging.

You would manually install the drivers. If you read the thread, the installation process is in there. If you run W8.1 you will need to disable driver signature which is also explained in the thread.

Download android SDK package. The standard android drivers are included. I'm assuming you are wanting to Oem unlock your device and can't get ADB debugging working

I fixed it by using Google's drivers and selecting them in device manager for each state the phone was in. Ex: mtp, debugging on/off and once after connecting with fastboot. Thanks to all that responded!
