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.
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
Hello. Just yesterday I had received my new Dell Inspiron 17R Notebook in the mail, which is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit (Other specs: 500 GB HDD, 8 GB RAM, NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 525M 1GB Graphics Chip, Intel Core i7 2.2GHz Quad Core CPU), and I went to go plug my Milestone into the USB port to copy all my music to this PC, and it wouldn't install the drivers. So I manually got them from the Motorola site, installed them, and still, nothing. And whenever I view the status of the installation of drivers when I click the bubble saying, "Found New Hardware, Installing Device Drivers" (Or whatever), it says MTP USB Device................Installing Driver Software. And it hangs there for a while, and then it has an X right next to the word, Failed. I've tried numerous suggestions, but nothing has worked. I really need these drivers to be installed!! Can anyone help?
Your problem is not connected to the MS or the Notebook.
If you have the debugging switched on ( Titanium suggests that for ex ) the MS wants to connect in Debug mode and you need the ADB drivers.
after connecting the phone, pull down the bar, select USB mode and select massstorage mode or switch of debug mode.
Hello
:crying:
I got my N5 today, and like my wife's N7 and my N10, NONE of them will show up on windows explorer (windows 8.1)
I can unlock, root, install custom recovery, all good, but as far as actually SEEING my device on the computer so I can drag and drop stuff, well, I literally have been spending almost a day trying to sort that out and have not got any closer at all. It is really pathetic.
I've changed the windows Unsigned drivers thing (though the drivers must be ok if I can do all that other rooting etc)
But yet when I uninstall the drivers to try installing them again, win8 says "Android ADB Interface. The third party INF does not contain digital signature information"
But I'm pretty sure that when I reinstall them AGAIN, I will still nto be able to see any of my Nexus devices on Windows explorer... despite them showing up in the Windows Notification under USB, and they are mounted there... I can UNmount them!
Something is way off kilter here, its with 3/3 devices, perhaps win8.1 is completly Android unfriendly, or?
Advice/help MUCH appreciated for someone who is going nuts here.

Did you turn MTP off to install the drivers to make sure ADB is working correctly? If so, did you check it to turn it back on? I am having no issues with Windows 8.1.
Same in Windows 7, I can't see my mates N5 on my Windows 7 machine but it's fine on his (he got the generic drivers from Windows update whereas I had mine from the Google SDK so that might be something to do with it?...)
It's just hit-or-miss. It's not Windows 8.
My work computer got a fresh image about 2 months ago. I've plugged other Android devices in, but haven't plugged in a Nexus device (or one that utilizes MTP the same way). I plugged in the N5 when I got it, and it worked flawlessly. My gaming PC at home has the Android SDK installed and it worked perfectly there. My HTPC does not have the Android SDK installed and nothing shows up in My Computer at all.
It's a weird android thing.

I really dont know. I have 4 PC's in the house, and sometimes my old dell laptop (also 8.1) seems to be the most reliably connect-able.

There has to be a physical reason for it (unless we are to consider the metaphysical - past lives, re-incarnation of gadgets, Steve Jobs curses and stuff...) and it does amaze me that it still seems so hit and miss. When I first got onto android a few years back, you just plugged your phone into USB, ANY ONE ON ANY COMPUTER and whammo, you'd get both Ext SD adn Int SD mounted... reliably. I'm sure that was causing security and stability issues so all manufacturers seem to have snuffed that out.
so that MTP toggle is at settings > Storage > settings in storage
but it makes no difference still not vis in WinExplorer
Cheers

Settings/Storage then hit the advanced menu button on the top right to enter "USB computer connection" and make sure MTP is checked.

Thanks, but sadly this is a really abysmal part of android... and used to be a major + of the platform.

I had this problem extensively, when trying to Root my Nexus, I went through uninstalling and re-installing drivers repeatedly, it was obnoxious, but i did end up getting it to work, so don't necessarily give up. I am running Win 8.1 though, eventually i had to go through Wug's Root Kit, and into the advanced driver installation settings, and install the raw drivers. (By booting windows into disabling secure driver certs.) Once i did that it gave me significantly more access, also try toggling your camera one on, the PTM or something, and switching back and forth with MTP.

I must say, I did leave that part out of my replies. I too installed the raw drivers using Wugs toolkit. Maybe that is the x-factor.
Enable USB debugging in developer options.

Nexus Root Toolkit includes a variety of USB drivers you can try, as well as a few utilities to help you diagnose and fix android driver problems. That's where I would start. You don't need to use it to root or anything (unless you want to) but the driver utilities in the toolkit have fixed a number of problems I've had with android drivers over the years. I currently have my nexus 5 / 7 / galaxy working fine on two computers with windows 8.1
Not really the same at all but I had a hard time getting my S3 to be recognized on my computer at work running XP.
In the end the problem was the generic USB drivers that were installed had to be manually removed; even the official Samsung drivers wouldn't overwrite them. After a bit of digging and prodding I got it to work.
My Nexus was recognized without issue on my Win 8 machine.
You'll have to try a variety of different drivers to get it to show up properly. My N4 and Note 3 had no issues showing up, but the N5 wouldn't. I had to uninstall all the old drivers and started with brand new Google drivers to get the N5 to show up. Now it's there.
This happens to me every single time with a new device so I know exactly what to do now. It's not a driver issue, it's a problem with windows 8 and how it searches for drivers.
If you have the Android SDK installed properly just open up device manager > right click on android device > Update driver software > browse my computer > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer > select the google adb driver from here.
Another problem I had was remembering to accept the ADB on my phones end, I never had to do that with my HTC one, so when going through rooting the raw drivers were likely unnecessary, I just hadn't noticed the primly on my phone when the first drivers I installed worked.
Hello guys, thanks for the various responses...

Encouraging!!! I know from my SGS3 and 4 and some generic chinese tablets ive had that the driver installation can be a major PITA but eventually you do the same thing for the 5th time, and it works, with no (seemingly) logical reason.

Yeah, i have tried that and it says I have the best drivers already installed. Oddly I can use Nexus Root Toolkit fine, so there has to be something right about the drivers... just not the part that shows up on a computer.
I'm convinced there HAS to be some scientific way of doing this, its such a common problem, it would be great to really figure it out. The problem is, one has to try 100 things before it works, so it becomes almost impossible to know which actions to attribute as the solution!

Hello guys
Following Wugfresh's instructions to the T...
I tried drivers Option 1, (Universal) and the result was exactly as with the Raw (Option 4) drivers... So I uninstalled the drivers, ran ran USBDeview and uninstalled 7 devices like "Google Nexus ADB Interface" and "USB Composite device" and "Nexus 10".
Then tried Option 2.
The installation did not go exactly according to Wugfresh visual guide, so I cant be certain, but I do know that installingPDANET drivers only work if you select MTP, otherwise it will not find the tablet/phone.
After the instalation, the app called PDANET installed on computer, not on my tablet. My PC showed a pop up notification when tablet USB debugging is turned on, but again, it was not visible in windows explorer.
I then was going to try Option 4 again, and Uninstalled drivers in device manager WHILE I STILL HAD THE TABLET STILL PLUGGED IN, so I am guessing though PDANET uninstalled, the drivers remained (which I think is what Wugfresh's process would have done if it had run according to plan. I ran USBDeview and uninstalled the same 7 devices.
Then
Plugged tablet back in to attempt Raw drivers, but all of a sudden, the device was recognised and for the first time visible fully in Internet Explorer!
So basically it seemed to be the PDANET drivers that worked, though I have no idea if that would have worked had I tried these drivers in the first place.
I hope that helps someone!

OP, are you running W8.1 64 bits or 32 bits ??
I had my Sony Viao running W8 64 bits & hated it, downgraded to W7 64 bits and it's very happy getting along with Nexus 7 - going to play with N5 later on. Good old Dell Latitude is running W7 32 bits and it's my main machine to unlock, root & flash and so far so good - yet, I was reading about someone running Vista and had issues with the usb drivers.
I have 2 fully licensed W8 safely tucked away and the way it's looking, I might never get out of W7 - let alone then upgrading to 8.1 for free - getting reminders from $S a few things already.
Most of the time, the mess are caused by conflicting drivers installed & loaded - I keep a clean & lean desktop to do these bench work, and even though it is a PITA, starting clean with minimal programs (and apps) installed is often a good start - turn off antivirus & firewall, especially if connectivity is not needed - enabled access only if it is required and/or necessary.
I've also noticed that on my Nexus 4 I can only access adb in PTP mode, doesn't work at all with MTP enabled.

64 on the two PC's in the same room, HTPC's and laptop are 32 I think, but I have not tried them. I did a fresh Win 8.1 install on Tuesday and had no drivers from any devices other than the ones I manually installed with Wug.

Yeah, well try the PDANET (worked for me, though was my last resort as I don't like to install stuff that is a/ meant for something else, b/has some software I dont need that comes with it... but I did manage to keep the drivers and UNinstall PDANET software by keeping the tablet plugged in when I uninstalled PDANET... try it.

I bought an Irulu 7" tablet, it's running Android 42.2 Jelly Bean. Win 8.1 and Win 7 won't let me connect to it by USB. I just keep getting told I need a USB driver for this. Irulu's website does not list my model in their drivers section, nor do they seem to have any USB drivers up. Where can I find a driver for this tablet? The model is just Irulu_MID. I do not know the chipset for it. I've had no luck searching anywhere for a USB driver for this. I even tried using other drivers from different manufacturers, but nothing works. My pc's just keep insisting I need the right driver for this. Has anyone been successful in connecting this kind of tablet to a pc? My pc sees the device and calls it an Android, it just won't let me do anything with it.
Solved
Solution:
No driver is needed. It is compatible with Win 8.1, but the USB storage is disabled by default on the tablet and the only way to see it is when you plug it into the pc, then it will give you a notification on the tablet to enable it.
It took me twelve hours to figure this out because I was missing seeing the small USB icon on the tablet and didn't bother to look at the notifications on it.
What happens when you plug the Irulu into your pc is that the Irulu puts this tiny USB icon in the upper left of the Irulu tablet screen and there will be a message in your notifications that says click to enable USB. Click it and you finally get the Enable USB Storage screen. Just click the button and it will enable it and your pc will recognize it.
So basically, we've always been looking at our pc's, seeing that it's not recognizing it, when you just needed to find the USB message on the Irulu to enable mass storage and it will only show up when you plug it into your pc.
drivers tho
there you go...
