OK first off I know this probably shouldn't be in general but seeing as how I cannot post in the forum that this pertains to I am forced here. Now I am trying to use the root method by sparkym3 however when I look at the drivers from the .zip I downloaded I have no idea or clue what to do to actually install them. I feel like a complete idiot and have been searching around for about 3 hours now. I have read through all the posts and even the guide by miloj and not one explanation is available as how to go about installing them on a windows 7 64 bit computer. Any quick and detailed answer would be most appreciated. Also I am working towards getting closer to the post limit so I can post the reply in the correct area. However this problem is literally eating me alive and I have no other idea what to do.
Alrighty then. Now I feel like an idiot I did find a way to get it to install and I feel like an idiot I didn't try this before. But if you need here is a link to the video explaining everything and what to do.

I had a similar problem. I ended up downloading and installing the Asus Pad Pc Suite from the Asus website. It will install the drivers. Only problem doing this is you need to make sure you turn off the Asus Sync application on your PC before you run the Sparkym3 method.
You could have always tried this. Keeps ya from installing all the bloat from ASUS.

ASUS Android MTP Device Cannot Start Error
I received ASUS Android MTP Device Cannot Start upon completion of the drivers install. Is this normal? I am on Win 7 x64.
UPDATE: Never mind. I disconnected and reconnected and everything is fine. (No errors).

Hi I've installed the latest version of SDK and for some apprent reason I can not find the usb driver that's needed to install, so that my phone will recognise my computer? Also having another issue when trying to open SDK setup.exe nothing happens? I've actually reinstalled this 4 times and still nothing seems to change. I've followed everyone's instructions to a "T" on multiple different sites. Everyone's instructions are the same and still nothing changes. Ive been struggling with this now for over 3 hours... which in my opinion is way to long as I'm not an idiot and something like this is extremely simple. It just won't work! Also when I go to download the usb drivers that are posted on some of the threads on XDA, I get redirected to download what looks to be the newest version of android-sdk_r3-windows.zip (which I'm currently running). I am using windows XP if that helps. I know that there are 3 different files and I know that I've downloaded the right one. If anyone has any advice at all on what I haven't done, need to do or am not doing correctly please, any advice will be greatly appreciated.

ROM-blueberry_Full_V[1].07_Stable_32a.zip (Fastest SenceUI)
Hi and thanks so much for taking the time to read this. I'm really new, and I mean really new to flash rom's in the Android OS. So I have spent a few days doing some reading before I registered here. I was hoping for a simple step by step idiot proof way of improving my TF101 without any prior modding knowledge I found a step by step tutorial but was wondering if anything had changed or if there was a video tutorial on how to achieve the desired result of having my TF101 preform at a decent speed. I found this to be helpful http://forum.xda-developers.com/eee-pad-transformer/help/tf101-upgrade-buy-tablet-t2847617. So as to not stuff things up I have decided to reach out to the community and timduru for help and supply my TF101's details in hope that I can receive some kind of assistance.
The TF101 is mainly used for Skype, FB, Yahoo mail, E bay, Diary, GPS, TV Show's and Movies. Movies being somewhat of a problem with the slower speed which I was hoping that the 4.4.4 would possibly address or fix. So would you please be able to share any insight into a step by step of a virgin system? I believe the following details would be required?
SN:B70KAS107648
ANDROID version 4.0.3
GPS version V6.9.12
Wi-Fi version V6.1.1.24
Bluetooth version V8.30
Touch panel version MXT-1.1 build-1
Kernel version 2.6.39.4 [email protected]#1
Build number IML74K.WW_epad-9.2.1.27-20120615
MobileDock version EP101-0213
Please assist as I would like my daughter to inherit this machine as it's a little ripper of a machine which she would have fun using for many years to come. Again I ask if anyone has a video that my assist? But if not I'm also good with reading instructions. Pictures would be nice lol. I'm just hoping to make this machine the best I can
Welcome to XDA, my instructions here still remain true, only difference is the version of the ROM, the latest and greatest is currently #35
Everything else is the same and you should be up and running in not too long following those steps
Any problems, just reply here and I`ll check now and then and try give you a hand
Good luck
Thanks for such a quick responce
Will the TF101 preform better with watching video?
Than 4.0.3 stock, yea almost definitely - I watch 720p videos on mine with KK #35 fine
I'm an idiot
I don't even know where to start I tried following the instructions and nothing happens. From what I can see it has something to do with the tf101 not being rooted??
I need a real idiot proof step by step in detail, Sorry in advance
Stupid windows 8.1

That link is as idiot proof as you can get - no you don't need to be rooted - you just need to use Easyflasher to flash TWRP as per first part of the instructions - once you have TWRP recovery installed you can flash the new ROM
The Easyflasher thread explains how to use Easyflasher - the rest is in my step by step
Here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54841038&postcount=6
If nothing happened with Easyflasher - chances are you didn't install the Universal Naked Drivers as stated at the bottom of my guide (Win 7 32bit recommended)
Once you have them installed - and you connect the TF101, and follow instructions to use Easyflasher - there is no reason it wouldn't work unless your cable or TF is faulty
the drivers
I used the naked drivers as instructed and have my windows 8.1 x64 machine showing the Asus Transformer APX Interface. But the flash doesn't do anything to the TF101? I tried sb1 and sb2 but still nothing? What state is the Asus meant to be in? I just have it connected to the computer via usb and on the home page window. its just frustrating as I can follow the directions but nothing beyond starting the flash program. Unless the first part of the flash program is meant to hang there for a while and I'm just impatient?? I'm just use to flash stuff take a few seconds. could this be my problem or is there something I'm missing ?
Windows 7 32bit as I stated a few times - 64bit and Win 8 require signed drivers, which these are not
You could try disabling driver signing mode using advanced (safemode) boot options with 8 64bit
And again, as stated in the instructions - you need to read instructions or you'll never get this working - the TF needs to be in APX mode - hence the APX drivers
Read everything 3 times, the only reason it's not working is because you're not following all the steps
Heck yeh
Ok I found out my problem, I was missing the power and vol up step as I didn't see anything on the screen and thought something was wrong as my b70 used sbk1 not the expected sbk2 so everything is great and thank to everyone for the help especially *Detection* I feel like such a knob. It was so easy
haha, pleased you got it sorted - sometimes it's good when you don't get it right the first time because it imprints it on your memory for next time, if it all goes smoothly you tend to forget what you did a few months down the line
Now the next really tiny issue
The sound seems to be a little quieter is there any way of boosting the sound?

This has been a fiasco... Ive been attempting to Root, Unlock Bootloader, Install CWM, and Flash to HD Custom rom that is now out for this device. Ive found two tutorials on how exactly to do this and one video. The one originally posted on this forum by Superdragonpt has been modified by this forum and there no longer is any useful information or files available (after sifting over 120 pages in that thread) then there is another one posted on Android Forums here (http://androidforums.com/memo-pad-h...ad-hd7-us-backup-restore-unlock-recovery.html) using SP Flash Tool. However he clearly states that he was only capable of doing this walk-through on Windows XP and had limited success on Windows 7. As I am running windows 7 this creates an issue... There is also attempted to follow the YouTube instructions posted here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuNFx10cS2U) however the OP of that doesnt respond to his numerous requests stating that "App Not Installed" error upon attempting to install.
I delved even deeper to find the root of my Windows 7 errors. When using the SP Flash Tool Ive read that the battery needs to be fully charged and vcom drivers need to be installed. Well ok, I've installed over 20 different drivers from aproximatly 7-8 different threads on the SP Flash Tool, the battery is fully charged and there doesnt seem to be any conclusive resolution to any of this. The device seems to cycle between modes when you plug it into the PC full battery or not and the SPFT begins the process and stops the second the device cycles modes...
After all this research and work itd be great if someone could jump in here...

The forum your link leads to is down atm so I couldn't check it out. However, in the meantime, why don't you try booting Windows XP in a virtual machine, and give it a go there?

And virtually load drivers? Because thats where the issue is that Windows 7 only recognizes the driver for a brief 3-5 second window...

Well that would be the proper course of action if you can get to CWM yes. Just don't forget to do a clean install, wipe data and cache.

Well, if the drivers on a virtual xp aren't working and you don't want to set up a dual boot with xp, then your only option is to send it to a service center.

Nabbed the tablet for 15 dollars with cracked digitizer at that point if I cant repair it myself then Id say cut my losses and have a pretty paperweight lol... I actually located a Windows XP machine and will be heading to get it seems that their a bit of a rarity these days
Hello, I bought my shield a while back, rooted in KitKat just to get my backup data from apps from my previous device transferred and then happily ungraded to Lollipop with the intention to stay unrooted since it means unlocking the bootloader which may void my warranty. Recently I came upon an app named Helium which I knew nothing about and which seems to be able to backup app data even without root, but to use the no-root version you need to have ADB drivers installed. I found a bunch of sets of ADB drivers, like for example this http://developer.download.nvidia.com/mobile/shield/SHIELDTablet_WHQL_USB_driver.zip but nowhere real instructions explaining how to install them in a Windows 7 PC. I've searched all over the place with no luck so help would be greatly appreciated. I installed drivers for my older device about 3 years ago so I've done it before but I can't remember a thing about it, even if it was a similar method that I had followed.
Thanks in advance, hope someone replies. Help a fellow keep his data backed up please!
Hey there, man.
First of all, neither rooting or unlocking bootloader will void your wartranty, unless the installation you made after that, break the whole tablet in pieces. For example, if you happened to install Windows 8 and it burns.
As for ADB, just read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Good luck.

When I'm faced with a .zip file, the first thing I do is to unzip it and look at the contents. If there's an installer in there, I just double-click on it ... Sorry if this sounds very basic, but it might not occur to everyone =)
If there's not an installer, you'll probably have to install those drivers through Device Manager. Good luck =)

Oh I see. Then I might actually root it but since I have to unlock the bootloader and it will wipe my device I definitely need to make this no-root backup work first >.<
I opened the link. The instructions are just to install the exe? I did but my pc still thinks I have no drivers installed... *sigh* Any ideas?
Ok, I figured it out, I installed via Device Manager after all, I was using a bad set of drivers, apparently some file was missing from them so the DM didn't recognize it as drivers... ugh, such confusion for such a silly little thing! Thank you for your help!

I tried unziping it. Dunno what I'm supposed to do next. There's no exe's in there, there are 2 files that are considered "Security Catalog", 2 are "Setup Information" and there's 2 folders and each contains 3 files that are "Application exension"
I'd like to try installing them through Device Manager but... how do I do that?
Ok, ignore whatever I wrote before, I figured it out. Looks like I was using a bad package of adb drivers. The funny thing is, the link I posted above is the one that worked but the one I was trying to install was a different one! I suppose I got confused after finding more than one set of instructions! >.<
Hey everyone -
The title says it all! Reading, searching, and experimenting for hours... no dice. Time to ask for help.
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of my Shield Tablet, but no matter what I do, I can't install the Universal Naked Driver (which I understand to be step #1). I've tried to troubleshoot this to no avail (including turning off driver signature verification, etc.)... Windows 10 refuses to do it, complaining that "Windows was unable to install your Shield Tablet. Windows could no find driver software for your device".
I'm posting this question *here*, because it makes me wonder if something has changed in the last firmware update from Nvidia (I'm running the very latest - LMY48C.35398_567.2193)... so here's my question: has anyone out there tried to root (which requires bootloader unlock) a Shield Tablet with this firmware? If you've been successful, could you point me toward a tutorial I haven't yet read? Thank you!
I think your first issue would be installing the wrong drivers. Install the actual nVidia Shield Family drivers from the gameworks download centre. Next, make sure to try a few different adb versions. Not all of them are identical, and you might have better results with one but not another.
Good luck!
