[Q] Can't access SD card after ICS Update - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

NO MASS STORAGE SUPPORT - After I did an update of ICS, my Laptop will not recognize my Tf101? I hear the tone when I connect the USB, but it isn't the "good" tone. In device manager, I have the yellow error icon with un identified device. I cannot update the driver, or at least don't have the right driver to update dispite downloading the latest I can find. When I try to boot into recovery, all I get is the dead robot with the red triangle and the"!".
I've have seen several posts about this, but have not found my solution.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Uninstall LiveSuite and everything related to it, then reinstall LiveSuite. Should fix it.

Live Suite?
Man, I am sorry to be such a noob....but I am.
Can you expand on that for me.
again , sorry

oh urm, Think I messed up on the name there... I ment Asus Sync

I'll Try it.
Thanks

Still getting that error message " Device no recognized" Device has malfunctioned.
Frustrating. I wish I would not have opted to update. At least I had root and a good working ROM.
Anyone else have a solution/ idea?
Thanks all for your patients.
Thank you Goatshocker for trying!

[Q] Trying one-click root, keep getting 'cannot locate device' at command screen.

ok, trying to install one-click root on my Epic, i have up-to-date drivers installed, USB debugging is checked, my computer gives me the option to mount and it reads my device. when I go to the run.bat command screen, I keep getting the message 'cannot locate device, unplug USB, re-plug and press enter.' when I do that I get 'aborting script, phone still not connected' message. can anyone point me in the right direction or tell me what I'm missing, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try to do a battery pull on the phone and try that. If that does not work, do a battery pull and reset your computer and see if that helps.
Not sure what OS you are running but the best thing is to do on Win XP.

Can you tell us the complete verbage of the error? I ran into a problem because I did not LITTERALLY UNZIP the rar file before running it. Kept saying the phone was not connected..but when I looked closer it was failing because the bat file was trying to run a piece of the program and for some reason it was failing on it. COMPLETELY AND LITTERALLY unzipped the rar to my computer and then ran it (making sure the phone was connected and in usb debug mode) and was rooted in a matter of minutes. hope this helped a little... good luck

Try plugging the Epic into a mobo usb port.

Your computer gives you an option to mount? If you have ADB debug enabled you should see something pop up in your device manager, but I'm not so sure you should get any kind of mounting pop-up.
Make sure you have all of the correct drivers installed for your OS, and try it again running each command seperately from the batch file. Then post here which command is coming back unsuccsessful so I can pinpoint the problem better.

I am having the same problem now for an hour or so. Tried everything I can think of , tried the all in one clockwork , used a different cable....i can hear my computer make that sound when I plug the phone in , and also when I unplug it. Just trying to get clockwork on here , ive read and read and read all the threads I can find. Got good drivers , windows xp. Rebooted laptop and phone at least 20 times ...dont know what else to try

Look in your device manager on your pc while your phone is connected with usb debugging and make sure there is no question mark next to Android ADB device. It needs to recognize this driver for it to connect.
HI
Hi i had that same issue an i went to the samsung official website becaue my phone can't connect to my pc i couldn't see my sd card pop up so the guy say my phone was defective so im thinking you have the same issue as me but samsung is fixing my phone now for free an free shipping i hope you still have warranty on your epic an they flashing a new rom an software on it for me they say to fix gps an wifi issues i had too
Got it to work, it was a driver issue apparently. Downloaded drivers again, completely removed old drivers. Reboot PC, make sure phone isnt connected yet. After reboot, install drivers, reboot again. I also had my phone turned off this whole time. When PC came back up , turn phone back on, connect using one of the main USB ports, not one in the front or anything. You should see windows detect and install the software. Then I ran the all in one clockwork , and here I am now fully rooted, syndicate rom , so much better than stock...hope you get it working! I definitely almost gave up a few times

[Q] Flashed CM, problem updating driver?

Hi all
I have successfully flashed Cyanogen nightly on my phone. However, when I connect it to my PC, it doesn't give me an option to transfer files to and from my phone to my computer. All I see is the USB debugging on my notification bar. I have tried this advice from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13636060&postcount=1465
I have also installed the drivers from LG. When I use the support tool to update it, it says that they cannot find a connection between the phone and my computer. Would that possibly be an issue?
Thanks!
EDIT UPDATE: When I follow the instruction from the link above, I get an error saying "Windows found driver for your device but encountered an error while trying to install it.
LGE Android Composite USB Device
This device cannot start.(Code 10)
I hope I can get some help! Thanks again!
I'm gonna be home in a minute if you want me to upload the LG driver exe I used and know works I can.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Yeah, that would be great. Let me know when you can.
http://www.multiupload.com/W2Z7Z5S5GX
I really hope it works for you *fingers crossed*
Unfortunately that didn't work either.
What's weird is that when I connect my phone to my computer, that icon that lets you know that the USB is connected doesn't show up at all. The icon where you can select to copy files to/from your computer.
I've tried many things but haven't fixed this problem yet.
I really hope someone else can help sorry
Yeah, thanks for your help.
Have you tried restarting both the phone and the pc?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Yes I sure have. Any other suggestions?
When I try to update the LG drivers via the software support tool it gets stuck on checking the connection with the phone and tells me to unplug the battery, restart the phone, and try again. When I do that, I get the same problem.
I'm still working on this same issue. Today I used the ROM for recovery linked below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644
It worked and I was able to transfer files to my internal SD with the stock ROM. I then flashed CM7 once again but had the same problem. I then used the CM Nexus GB by Faux123 and once again had the same problem. When I plug in my USB, debugging icon shows up but the USB transfer doesn't show at all.
I find it weird that it worked with the stock ROM but not with either of CM7 or CM Nexus.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

Exactly what he said...
That's because Kies loads the correct drivers for the Infuse.

No need for that..... Just install LATEST version of Samsung Kies and your pc will have the drivers. There are a lot of versions floating around out there and only the newest one has the Infuse drivers.
Once loaded just use super one click again and it should work.
If it's not working, try latest super one click and try again...
And yes, be in debug mode and have it on mass storage device.

Does anyone have a good link to a download, all the ones I find for the newer ones are mirrors to some bs paysites. Also I can't even hook up to kies due to the fact it needs to be in "PC studio" mode I can't find that on my phone also before I would plug in my phone it would say "update firmware(samsung kies)" now its not there and it never updated, is that the problem at all.

[Q] Ok Next Step....

So AFTER my ICS Update:I cannot get my laptop to recognize my tf101 B50. I've had several suggestions from members, but nothing has worked. I cannot get Mass Storage Access! And that sux.
SO....is there a way, keeping in mind that I cannot get access to my internal SD ( or external for that matter) to revert my tablet back to an earlier version of ROM so that I can re-root and again load CWM or nvflash?
I don't mind how ICS operates, I just want the access back to my SD's.
IS there any hope to accomplish this? Is this something that ICS can do intentionally to keep user from having access SD and Root?
I hopd someone can help!
Thank you!

Have you reinstalled asus sync and all drivers?
I have tried to. I uninstalled everything I had on this laptop.( asus wise) then tried to reinstall. The install gets all the way to the end, then hangs at the 99% installed mark on the bar. I'm going to try again. Wow does the noobie come out in me!
Thanks
I just did an entire re-install of the Asus Sync.
Still get the same message that device has malfunctioned when I plug my tf101 into my laptop. I am not able to update drivers and asus sync does not detect the device.
Any of this make sense?
Frustrating!
Thanks
Still needing help!!!!!!!!!!!
Is no one else having this issue? I have been searching for a fix for over a week. Does anyone have any advise on this?

This is common, check out these forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526927
It just happens sometimes, not 100 percent sure why, but when I flashed Revolver's ICS rom, I lost the ability to have my device recognized when plugged in.
I have since fixed the problem by installing HD Revolution ICS rom, now my device is recognized just fine.
You should try reflashing your Rom if you'd like to keep your info, or if that doesn't work, make sure you download an app back up utility, back up your stuff, then flash a brand new rom after doing a full wipe of you device.
Should work just fine after that.
Others have found flashing the file located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22964131&postcount=47
worked out.
I appreciate the advice. BUT, If I can't get my transformer to show up as a Mass Storage decive on my PC how can I load these?

You have a removable micro sd card? Take it out of the TF, transfer the needed files to it and put it back in the TF.
I can't boot from the micro sd. I have the files that I need on it. cannot access the external micro SD OR the internal SD. The Tablet is running fine, I just cant gain access to the SD cards. I can't boot into recovery, I can get it in APX mode, but windows 7 or XP won't recognize it. Trying to update the drivers, windows is telling me that the best drivers are already installed.
This doesn't make sense to me. What would have caused this glitch?
Again, I am sorry I updated to ICS.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Sorry, missed the part where you can't access your sd card.
If you are using windows...get a copy of Ubuntu. That's how I did it (not with the TF) when I had problems getting my external storage to be recognized. The easiest would be to use a USB thumb drive so boot into Ubuntu. Ubuntu usually picks up all kinds of devices. Even an HP printer that is nno longer supported by W7 . That's how I print stuff I need.
I loaded Ubuntu onto a jumpdrive and booted it up on my pc. Plugged in my Transformer.
Still no-go on recognizing my TF101. Is here something specific that I am not doing? Should it have picked it up automatically? This is a real head shaker....
Thanks
I have to ask another question. Still nothing as far as Mass Storage/SD recognition of my TF101 B50. Windows 7 doesn't see it, and the Ubuntu I loaded this morning doesn't see it. The problem started after an OTA update.
When I try to boot into recovery, I get the robot with the red triangle and exclamation mark. Am I just SOL on this? is there ANYTHING that has worked for anyone else. This Tf101 worked great before the update.
My pc knows that something is connected, but gives me the UNKOWN DEVICE message in Device Manager, The latest drivers I have from ASUS won't work to update the drivers....I'm all out of ideas. Am I screwed?
Thanks in advance for the help......noob here.

HTC recognition via USB on PC

Hi there.
I have an U11 now and I am quite happy with it.
But there is one problem.
It takes ages till I see the U11 appearing on the PC. USB debugging is on, data transfer chose at the U11, tried several USB connections on the PC tried even another laptop.
Sometimes it is even not showing the phone.
Are here people around who are facing the same problem?
Any solutions?
Thx a lot.
Schuertzi
Yeap exactly the same...
No problem here, each new usb port you connect to loads the drivers and takes a few seconds but after that connection is fast.
Thing that has me peeved is the lack of OTG support. I like to backup straight to an external HDD. No go with the U11.
Tried and waited really long after the drivers were installed. Nothing changed really. Even with using the same USB connection.
May be I did something wrong during flashing TWRP and then the Viper ROM.
Will check and let you know.
Thx
Sxhuertzi
I had the same issue even though i didnt root. I tried on multiple pcs and still got a message saying usb device not recognized. So i returned it and ordered the solar red. I should receive it today and I'll let you know if I still get the same result.
Great, just let us know.
Thx
Hi Guys,
I solved my problem.
I had first the wrong TWRP installed then deleted. Tried then again to install via fastboot. Was not possible.
Then, I installed the official TWRP app from the playstore. Installed the actual TWRP from there. And voila, TWRP installed, rebooted and everything works.
Just for your info. May be you have similar problem.
Schuertzi.
So i definitely had a defective device as this new one connects without any issue.

I can use external HDD and pendrives. In fact, the u11 recognises NTFS even.
