Fastboot issues - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I have unlocked my TF300T using the Asus tool.
I am able to into Fastboot mode on the device however in fastboot.exe the command fastboot devices returns no results.
I went back and tried everything with my Galaxy Nexus and that appears fine.
I have a feeling it is the drivers. The install fails when I plug it in giving a yellow question mark. I have tried the drivers from every link I can find on here and installed them manually. No go.
I also have the SDK which has the USB driver ticked and installed, but that does not seem to be helping.
Anyone know where I might find a driver that helps?

Ok seems I tried every single driver I could except for the one in the Asus install!
All good now and flashing

[Q] Cannot Install Drivers for Fastboot

I am attempting to flash TWRP so that I can root and flash Cromi X to my tablet. ADB works fine, restarts/reboots into recovery, recognizes device. Fastboot does NOT see my device, does NOT reboot, and I am left stuck at "waiting for device" when I attempt to flash TWRP while in fastboot. In addition, my computer recognizes the TF700 while it is in launcher, but when I boot it into the bootloader/flashboot mode it does not recognize my tablet. I have attempted multiple times in multiple locations on my computer to get it to install & use the android_WinUSB.inf driver, but it refuses. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers while the tablet is in on mutiple times. I don't know what else to do at this point; please help.
Device Details: ASUS tf700t, 10.6.1.14.8 firmware installed, unlocked, no root
Computer: Windows 7 x64

Are you using windows?
Did you try this?
Transformer Toolkit v2.0.1
Root your device with motochopper: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230763
and from the playstore download and install goomanager and from goomanager install TWRP.
Then from TWRP flash CROMi-X

monecani's advice should work, although it would be good to have fastboot access to your tablet.
Weird - it seems the ADB drivers work but the fastboot drivers don't.
Try the drivers attached?

Well I had tried motochopper around 20x before (and sadly, I am not exaggerating there) without it working once, but I felt that I should at least give it one more shot before saying I couldn't use it and of course now that I had asked for help it does work. lol; the IT curse strikes again. Thanks for that, monecani.
The drivers, on the other hand, are not working. :/ Windows is letting me try to install them now at least (before it was telling me there was "no compatible drivers" when I was literally having it select the ASUS specific ADB USB drivers, or just telling me that it had determined that my usb drivers that were in no way functioning were completely up to date), but then it fails install and says "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". I was able to install the drivers you gave me when the device was in launcher, but they didn't help me in fastboot, and actually interfered with my device being recognized properly by anything. I had to roll back the drivers to run motochopper.
I kinda agree with you on fastboot being something I don't strictly need, but would still be a good idea for me to have access to. Plus, I'm that special kind of person who cannot let something just be broken. It drives me crazy to know that something's wrong, even if I almost never use it, or even never use it.

[Q] Fastboot doesnt see my device

It is showing my device in "adb devices" when it is turned on, but it is not there when it is in fastboot mode, i cant flash any img, it stucks, i have done everything, unlocked bootloader, everything. But fastboot doesnt see my device, i have done a bit of research and i realised that it is showing SAMSUNG drivers under my ASUS device tab in that device manager, i have seen this problem in another topic and they said they have uninstalled those samsung drivers trough control panel and it worked for them, but i tried that and installed google drivers from google SDK, ASUS drivers that came with aus sync, both at once, then 1 of them and neither worked and i have tried like 95581546 things, reinstalling, uninstalling,restarting pc, disabling antivirus, and i cant get adb to see my device in fastboot. And in hdwwiz, when i am installing drivers manually it shows me Samsung drivers in Asus group and i dont know how to remove them from there. Or any ideas how i can get it to work?
Thanks
(sorry for grammar nazi and for this topic in wrong section, but i cant make new threads under "Development" because this is my first post)
For me, it was a wiring problem. I hadn't got the original wire plugged, but a second one bought in ebay. Then I used the original one, and problem solved. I hope it is your problem.

Try using the Universal Naked Drivers instead.

Have you tried a different USB port on your PC? I know when I first started customizing my tablet I had problems using the front ports on my PC. It wouldn't recognize my tablet in fastboot, but when I plugged into one of the back ports directly on the motherboard it worked great.
Ehh
I have reinstalled drivers few times and plugged it to back of the PC and it works! It is still not showing my tablet in adb devices (now i am not sure if it should show it there in fastboot) but the img transfer has finished and everything is fine, thanks for all help!
Solved

[Q] fastboot, win7/64 drivers?

Hey all,
I've got a new-to-me TF700. Got CROMBi-KK installed, which took some backflips as I could not get fastboot connectivity.
I'd like to be setup for NvFlash (but then never need it), so even though I don't need fastboot right now, I'm feeling the lack.
Data transfer works fine.
ADB (not fastboot) works fine (adb shell gets me a shell, etc, etc)
When I put the phone in fastboot/bootloader "fastboot devices" gets an empty response "fastboot reboot" gets no response.
In Win7 device manager, the TF700, which appears in the "portable devices" section normally when I plug it in, does not appear.
So... probably device drivers.
Have you had this problem on your w7/64 box? How did you fix it? Sorry, but "install linux" isn't all that helpful.
Thanks!
From a semi-related question I'd asked, berndblb mentioned
berndblb said:
Windows is infamous for driver problems.....
Connect the tab in fastboot and open device manager. Near the top you should have an entry for Android device, bootloader mode or something similar, and probably a yellow ! next to it.
Right click it and choose "update driver", let Windows search for it.
If you're lucky it'll install the driver by itself.
If not: What Windows version are you running?

Yep, I get an "unknown device" in the USB section when I connect a TF700 in fastboot. Win can't find an appropriate driver. I've tried (manually) ASUS_Android_USB_Drivers and Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72 (both, AFAIR, from the xda tf700 forums). Neither worked.
So... if you got this going, what driver did you use? Thx!
I have a Win7 32 bit laptop and this cool little tool installed the drivers for me:

I'd installed that previously (easiest way to setup fastboot). Re-downloaded, re-installed. Went fine. Still no fastboot.
Unzipped the exe, looked at the drivers being installed - labeled "google". No google driver in the driver cache (so no device ever associated with it.)
Looked at the driver error again. Code 43. That means hardware or driver. I'd been taking it to mean driver, but... switched the USB cable to a port in the rear of the PC - and it worked.
Thanks!
So, for anybody with a similar issue, install the package above. If that doesn't work, maybe try a different USB port.

Fastboot not working

Need some help here. Long story short, tablet fell and broke digitizer. 6+ months later finally replaced it but new one wouldnt work. Updated touch screen driver and it works. ADB works but fastboot does not. Used factory ROM to reset device to see if it helps. It doesn't. In device manager it shows ASUS android bootloader interface with no !. Downloaded ASUS pc suite for the drivers still no go. Bootloader reads:
key drivers not found... booting OS
android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "US_epad-10.6.1.27.5-20130902" A03
Starting fastboot USB download protocol
When i try fastboot devices, it returns nothing. if i try any fastboot commands it hangs on waiting for device. Any help? Thanks.
i have the same problem, waiting for any suggestion/help. If you figure out the problem please let me know
Well still no luck so far. I ahave even tried downgrading to 10.4.2.20 and no dice.
hmm maybe try to reinstall USB drivers on your computer, try different USB cable / port on computer
I believe it has something to do with the drivers. I have noticed ADB only works when i have ASUS PC Sync program running in the background on the PC. If I uninstall it or close the app ADB stops working. I have tried using the naked universal drivers and the stand alone ASUS drivers that are on here and neither of them seem to work for me either in fastboot or ADB. If only i could remember how i use to do it, but i have been away from ASUS products for over a year now..
All right, so i figured out what was going on with my fastboot and it was such a simple thing. After nothing else was working that i could find online i did find one command line that made me think of something and it worked. I looked at my ADB version vis the adb version command. I was on version 1.09. I thought it was a bit out of date but should work since it worked with my tf300 before the screen broke and it sat on a self and with my tf700 before it was stolen, heck it still worked now with my HTC One M8. But i deleted my adb and fastboot folder, installed android SDK and the newest platform tools and tried it. It works!!! So in the end i just needed to update my ADB and fastboot files. I hope this helps some other people with this issue since i saw a lot of post about it and a few solutions but here is a new possible solution.

Issue with fastboot

I'm running into an odd issue with using fastboot. For some reason it's not detecting any devices.
I installed, and reinstalled all the drivers (and everything installs and displays correctly in Device Manager)
ADB works properly and displays my device
I have USB Debugging enabled in developer mode
I tried different USB-microusb cables (same thing)
I tried installing PDAnet --> no difference
I also tried downloading the SDK and running the platform tools from there. Once again ADB works fine, but fastboot is just <waiting for any device>
Any thoughts?
As a side note, have a SM-G930T phone. I was able to get TWRP on my phone before, and I'm trying to get it again and I can't seem to recall how I have done it. I do remember I unlocked the bootloader through a website, but I can't remember the steps. Perhaps someone can point me to the right direction. Of course, in order to unlock the bootloader I would need to get fastboot to work, so this is what I'm trying to take care of first.
