Hello
I picked up my S3 from VZ the other day and obviously the first thing I want to do is unlock the boot loader and root it. And it looks like CASUAL is the easiest way but I'm having some trouble with it..
CASUAL starts fine but I can't for the life of me get it to recognize the phone. It always says 'Link Status Disconnected'. Windows does recognize the phone (both as 'Media device (MTP)' and 'Camera (PTP)'). I enabled USB debugging mode but that didn't help either. I tried several USB ports and USB cables but that didn't help; and to rule out the PC being the issue I tried it on a different computer but had the same problem.
Either I'm missing something or the update that came over the phone when they activated it in the store isn't compatible with CAUSAL?
I'll keep trying different things but any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I used Adams casual over Ububtu 12.04 and it worked flawlessly. Do you have a Linux computer?

I found out what the problem was... it was with the drivers (I kinda figured it was something mundane like that). I noticed the Windows Device Manager didn't have proper drivers loaded for all the devices associated with the phone. I went on VZ's website and downloaded/installed them. After that CASUAL recognized the device and I was able to unlock the bootloader, flash Clockworkmod, and get root access. :victory:
Thanks!

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

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.

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.

Hi All,
It has been a time that I unlocked my TF700t then followed the CM10 documentation to install 10.0 using CWM.
Recently I wanted to upgrade to 10.1 but it didn't work and ended with my tablet rebooting undefinitely.
I reverted then to install back the ASUS stock Rom from their website :
- I downloaded the file
- unzipped it (since it contains another zip)
- put it on a micro SD
- Booted into CWM
- installed the zip
I ended with a working tablet on the stock rom JB 4.1 but know I wanted to try again CM but I cannot access recovery anymore. I can access the bootloader but when I select RCK I get the droid laying on his back with the warning sign.
I thought I would need to flash another recovery (TWRP or other) using fastboot but now when I plug the tablet to my PC it keeps telling me that the device is not recognized. I tried to install the USB driver but it doesn't get detected.
Can anyone please help ? The tablet is working but I am afraid that it has lost some of its capabilities.
Thanks

Go to your system setting and select storage. Click the 3 dots in the upper right corner and tick the box which is Media device (MTP).. Good luck..

What Windows version are you running?
You may have to uninstall the drivers for your MTP device before installing new ones as well as disabling Windows to automatically install drivers for a new device, then manually point it to the Universal Naked Drivers folder.
Or downlaod Android SDK tool ad through it the Platform Tools and USB drivers.
BTW: When you flashed the stock firmware you lost your custom recovery. That's why you see the dead Droid - it's the stock recovery.
If you can't get fastboot to work you can use Motochopper to root your JB 4.1 stock firmware and then GooManager to install the latest TWRP recovery.

I have tested it on WinXP, Win7, Ubuntu and another box with Win XP. Always same thing the device is not recognized.
When I try to update the driver and point it manually to the naked drivers it cannot detect them.
I guess that even for running Motochopper I will need to get USB working to be able to root my device.
Any help please ? I am stuck with a sluggish stock mod that buries the perfs of my device.

Then it's a driver problem and it's solvable. What do you see in Device Manager under Portable Devices with your tablet connected? Did you uninstall the driver and re-install it?
Did you try to install Asus Sync (which should give you compatible drivers for the TF700)?
So many driver problems lately... there's got to be a pattern to it, but what it may be beats me :what:

You don't connect your tablet to the PC through the dock USB port, do you?? Just had that in another thread....
If you connect the tablet directly, I'm stumped. No idea why it's not recognized...

Sounds like a windows driver issue to me. You need to force windows to use the right usb drivers. You normally do this by upgrading thenm in device manager. You may have a borked windows installation to fix as well..
Try the ones I have attached.

I have tried different windows installations with the different drivers that you provided me, still nothing. It seems to me that the device is not even sending proper ids to the system. Can it be caused by a damaged cable ?

Had the same problem.I fixed it by uninstalling the faulty usb device. Then disconnected the usb cable. Reconnected. And the drivers installed.

Im having the same problem and after one day of research I could not find a solution. I bought a use TF700 with a standard andriod on it, no mod, not unlocked, no root. When I connect it to the pc I get the same error, meaning just a USB Device showing up. Tried different PC's with different types of OS, no success.
Did you manage to fix the problem ? I would really appreciate some help because now I can't use that tablet in debug mode to test my android applications and that's all I bought it for. By the way, is there a adb tool that works wireless and doesn't neet root access or can I get root access without connecting my pad to my pc ?
Thanks for the help !
Well did you install adb fastboot drivers on the PCs you tried? Did you try it under Linux? Do you have the original Asus cable you connect it with?
adb over network is an option under Developer Options in Omni and Omni based roms - at least the LP roms. I don't think you can get that with an app you install. Probably needs to be baked into the kernel.

First of all thanks a lot for your response, didn't think anyone would still react on that post because it's quite old. Yes I did install adb fastboot drivers, the device only shows up in the usb section saying usb device not recognized. I tried nearly every driver I found, installed the Andriod SDK, the Asus Sync Tool, the naked drivers... then removed them all (including the hidden ones) and installed just the adb fastboot -> no success. I have not tried it on linux, but on windows 7, 8 and 10. Android version is 4.2.1 and Build is 10.6.1.14.10. I now unlocked it using the apk provided by asus (version 7 , 8 did not work). Still for rooting I need pc connection, so I ordered a new cable today (cable is original Asus though).
I installed the Rom Manager and that tells me the ClockworkMod Recovery and TWRP are already installed. I also tried that recovery (power + vol) and got the same result as nacef meaning " I can access the bootloader but when I select RCK I get the droid laying on his back with the warning sign." Thing is, I don't know what the previews owner did, so it might be the reason he sold the Tablet. Can I get anywhere form that Bootloader ? Maybe boot as a Superuser and then use wireless adb to root the device ?
Thanks a lot for your help, Im feeling that I have wasted the money and the only way to get rid of that feeling is to fix the problem
Grab the Puppy Linux live CD from here: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...t/46090-guide-adb-fastboot-linux-live-cd.html
It has adb fastboot already installed. If you don't get a connection with that one the problem would be tablet side, not Windows related.
I booted using that Puppy Linux and followed the Guide but no success. After entering "adb devices" I get the output "list of adb devices attached" and than a blank space. So I tried booting in fastboot like you described in your guide and entered "fastboot devices" but that also gives me nothing. Fastboot works though (as it's already included in that image) so I tried a bunch of other fastboot commands but that just results in "waiting for the device".
I don't know what to do now, it has something to do with the tablet itself. Im waiting for the new cable but don't think thats gonna change anything.
You are not trying to do this through the dock port, right? You are connecting the tablet directly to the PC?
The only answer I have left is either a broken cable or one of the pins in the port is bent or broken. Get a magnifying glass and check them out.

Hi,
The title pretty much sums it all, it won't connect at all. Driver or no driver, oem cable or not and stock rom or not. Can't even ADB in...
But ! It does work on my laptop (without drivers), so it's not a faulty device.
Anyone have any idea ?

Okayyyyyyyy, i figured it out... So i was trying your method, installing SmartSwitch, and it wouldn't install because i didn't have the "Media Feature Pack". Because i'am running Windows 8.1 N on my desktop pc.
So i installed that media bull**** pack and then !!!! Miracle, it worked ! Didn't even need smartswitch. And if you are asking yourselves why is it working on my laptop, well the answer is very simple. My laptop is running a standard version of Windows 8.1... It actually make perfect sense the S6 only connects in PTP or MTP, which are both multimedia "modes". And i still can't adb into the device, must be coming from somethings else !
Anyway thanks to everyone for your help !
