[Q] cant connect TF to pc in no way - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi.
i have a realy annoying problem.
i cant connect my device to computer. i tried every way.
just plugging the tf to pc. no success.
enabling usb debugging. no success.
by apx. "" ""
i cant even access recovery.
i got my tf today from lab. they replaced my mobo.
and now when itry to access recovery it's just giving me a big green android with a ! inside.
so i thought. is it possible that the problem is with my usb cable?
and that i'll have to buy a new one just to confirm it?

1.) What are your computer's specifications? (OS, hardware, etc.)
2.) When the Transformer is booted into Android and you connect the USB cale from the tablet to your computer, does your computer make any sort of indication that a new device has been plugged in? (In Windows, for example, you'll get the new hardware sound.)

Hi! I have any problem tooi cant connect my transformer to PC.
I have C4Q 9550 CPU 8GB RAM Gigabyte E45P MotherBoard Windows & ult x64
When i connect my device,i have a new "hardware sound" and see baloon unknow device or USB cant recognize!What is a problem?Help!!!

Try different USB slot, Try different cable (if you can get one). Try different PC with the same OS (Win7 64-bit).
Try to reinstall Asus Sync, and USB drivers.
If it won't work after you have tried all of these, then I have no idea.
My TF works for me out of the box.

Windows 7 would recognize the TF as a Media device and there in lies the problem. You would have to force the Asus Drivers to take precedence and that is the problem. I am also told you would need the '.Net' framework installed and configured properly - as I had installed this long ago I am not sure whether this is required or not as on my PC I did not face problems due to lack of '.Net'.
On Windows XP I was required to install Windows Media Player 11 and then do some more modifications etc and then install PC Sync software from Asus.
I now have my Windows 7 Ultimate, 64bit working with the TF.
When you connect your Tablet using the Charger cable, does your Tablet say something like 'Searching for PC Sync Software on PC' in the notification area?
Only if it does the TF would even be trying to communicate with the PC - otherwise it would not even be doing that.
I connected my TF to my Windows machine with the sole purpose of rooting the device and I did succeed in doing that.

Computer Can't Detect my HTC Fuze

I have a windows vista 64 bit. and I've installed WMDC and my computer just won't recognize the device. It sure see's it, but it says that its an "unknown device" and then nothing happens. Any solutions?
is there a chance that your x64 Vista doesn't have all drivers? try using windows update.
if this didn't work, i'd back everything up on my device, go to Start/Control Panel/Device Manager and delete whatever it identified. restart your PC and hard-reset your fuze and try again.
oh and by the way, If i were you, i'd use Windows 7 Build 7077 instead of Vista x64

I tried everything listed above, still nothing, I can't believe two Windows based operating systems can't just hook up without problems. Why is this happening?
I have the same problem with my diamond. Just not possible to sync, so I have to use bluetooth.
It sucks though, I didn't get Bluetooth for this computer thinking I wouldn't need it. So I avoided the extra charge, but now it's coming back to bite me. But technically I still shouldn't need it if this thing would work.
Is there some sort of bluetooth adapter I can get so I can actually use bluetooth with my laptop? Or does it have to be built in?
If a ROM is replcaed and an OS is replaced, and it stil doesn't work, I would only guess it's a hardware problem.. which seems kinda odd.
I had this problem too. I found out that it was actually the USB Cable that was faulty. If you have another device with mini USB that you can try and see if the same result happens with the same USB cable.
The USB change actually worked, but it didn't sync, it opened as a mass storage device, and the WMDC didn't see it...

One more USB question...

Hi there...
A quick question about the USB...
Is is at all possible to have a USB-port that can still charge the phone, but at the same time is "dead" when you try to connect the phone to the computer ??
I have also asked about it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179171
The story is that the Phone (SonyEricsson X10i) can be charged fine, but when i connect it to the computer, my computer say that the hardware is not recognized, nomatter if it is in flash-mode, mounted from recovery or in the normal way.
And the phone don´t even show anything about USB connection in the status bar eigther.
I have tried 5 different computers now, and 2 different usb cables.
I have also a X10 mini and a Desire HD that works fine on all the computers and both cables.
I have tried to remove software, remove drivers, clean computers, reboot, check the memory-card in the phone, install software and drivers and all other things i can think off...
It is two windows 7 and three windows XP computers btw.
So is it at all possible that the phone can still be charged, but data-connection fail ?
As i see it, there must be some kind of data-exchange or else the computers would not even say "hardware not recognized"...?!?
I'm not quite sure I understood your question correctly, but let's see if this helps:
I used to have phone that didn't have drivers for Windows I used at the time (I think it was Windows 7). That meant that Windows wouldn't recognize it (when plugged via USB cable) and will not therefore provide power to that USB port (hence the phone will not charge).
I was able to get around the problem by going to the device manager, locating the relevant "unknown device" and force installing some random drivers for it -- I don't even remember what it was that I picked -- something that Windows would allow me to do. Of course the port wouldn't work as a data connection like this, but since Windows now 'knew' the device, it powered the USB port and I was able to charge my phone from it.
My problem is that I actually can charge the phone ok...
But I am not able to make a data connection between the computer and the phone at all...
My question is then, if the usb connector in my phone can somehow be broken even though I am still able to charge the phone...?

I'm fairly sure that yes, the contacts or the controller can be broken so that you can still charge but be unable to establish data connection.

Can´t connect mass storage on Windows XP SP3

Hi,
Recently I made an installation of the Infused ROM 2.2.3 and Infusion OC kernel on my device, but I can´t make any USB connection (mass storage) to work properly on Windows XP SP3 with Samsung Modem installed, and Samsung SGH-I997 drivers too, Kies installed and etc... when device connects and show the 2 external units, and when begin to copy files between PC and phone device disconnects automatically, and sometimes freezes the entire windows explorer... what I´m doing wrong?
This is both in Windows XP SP3 and Mac OS X 10.6.8, in mac, device simply doesn´t appears... notice that Kies on mac is on version 1.0... and in Windows is on 2.+...

Drivers are not necessary for USB mass storage mode.
Are XP and MacOS on the same dual-boot machine or are these different machines?
I know one of the ports on my Asus laptop is weird and constantly disconnects the phone - it's limited to just one port and the rest work fine. Maybe you have something similar.

I have an iMac with Mac OS X 10.6.8 (x64) Bootcamp and WinXp (x86) installed, primary boot system is XP SP3, well... I´ll check usb ports, hope this helps to solve this...
in my office machine (HP Windows XP Pro x86) I have kies and drivers installed too, but this machine works so fine all the time, when I connect the phone, explorer displays the two units and it can copy/paste files between PC/phone without disconnecting, connection is stable...
... maybe I should get the Samsumg i-9000 drivers instead of SGH-i997 due to I´m on Infused 2.2.3??
What the hell is Windows XP?
Sounds like a driver conflict kies doesn't play well with win 7 64. I know from personal experience
Try uninstalling all drivers and kies then reinstall drivers only, I think xp has generic drivers for usb mass storage so if you just need that then connect it without installing driver's.
Also make sure your data cable is good. Try a new one. They are cheap on Amazon

Since it affects XP and MacOS on the same dual-boot machine but doesn't affect his work machine - I suspect it's a USB port problem.
Try this...
Were you able to go into mass storage mode prior to flashing the ROM?
If so, maybe your USB Ports are looking for something that to them isn't there...every time that you connect a usb device, your computer creates a record in the usbstor section of the registry. You can manually delete these by using regedit and heading to the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USBSTOR
Remember that making changes to your registry can have some undesired results, but this one is pretty safe.
Alternatively, you can go to this site http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html and use USBDeview to disable any old keys or such.

maybe... I don´t know why but its on both systems on iMac machine, device attempts to connect and a milisecond after that, connection rejects and reconnects then reject a bout a three times like it was shortcircuit... like I was saying, in my HP (work machine) works like a charm, even in USB debugging mode, or not, so...

I will try it and see what will happens... what could it be?
a driver problem?
another thing that I forget to mention is that I installed drivers manually, actually I live in a block without any wi-fi network! and my Windows XP could not get drivers via Microsoft Update, so, I don't know if this is a factor too

Computer won't see my tf700

I have tried almost everything. Connected tablet to win7 laptop, does not see it, connected keyboard with tablet attached does not see it (even by other USB). I have attempted to add the device with device manager with not luck ....any other ideas?

Take another USB cable. You hear often, that data line breaks. I myself have one that you can only use to charge tab.
well the cable for the tablet only works with it...i did try another usb cable from the keyboard to the computer, but no go with that either
Did you
install the Asus sync utility?
check Device Manager for any changes when you connect/disconnect the tablet?
reboot both devices while connected through USB?
uninstall all old Android device drivers from your PC, reboot and try again?
If all of the above doesn't work, try this Linux live CD: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...t/46090-guide-adb-fastboot-linux-live-cd.html

You didn't understand me. I meant with 'another cable' not a different one (there is none) but a new one, because the wires tend to break (physically).
Trying to reach device bootloader via keyboard port is not possible, because on boot keyboard is not intitialised.
The crucial test:
1. Open on Win7 device manager as an admin.
2. Connect tf700.
3. Is there a 'pling' and device tree changes?
4. If not, hit F5 (refresh).
5. If there is no change connecting to any of your USB ports, you might have a physical connection problem.

GT-N8013 - Connect to Windows 10

When I connect the USB cable to my Dell Precision M4800, I hear the 'device connected' tone, but then it immediately disconnects. It then proceeds to connect and reconnect at random, often very quick, intervals. Windows never attempts to install the drivers, and when I manually install the latest Samsung USB drivers, nothing changes.
Interestingly, the tablet says 'Connected as media device', but it is not showing up as storage in This PC. I think the rapid connect\disconnect cycles cause Windows to not even try to get a compatible driver, but I'm not sure what to do about it.
Has anyone else been able to connect a GT-8013 to Windows 10?
-------
FYI, running Gnabo Rom, KitKat 4.4.
----- EDIT -----
I have a Windows 7 laptop (Dell XPS 15) that works flawlessly with the tablet. Hooks right up with no fuss.
Win 10 no problem.
Sounds more of a cable or usb port problem .

I agree. The laptop makes the tablet and cable 'known good'.
Try other USB ports on the troublesome PC; try updating the USB drivers (including the hub) and chipset.
