Help unbrick B70+ Device device - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I installed that stupid Rom Manager and ****ed up my CWM. I needed to force coldboot to start my ROM.
Thats why I install a stock ROM from CWM and since then I cant start my transformer anymore. All thats starting is this god damn CWM over and over again.
I tried to using NV Flash, but I cant install the ADB drivers. My device is not recognized as a ADB device, but unknow device. I tried to download 3 different ADB drivers, but no luck. Also I think the device is suppose to beep when going into ADB mode, but mine doesnt.
I can still access CWM and have a stock rom and recovery on it, but installing them doesnt do jack,
Some links I tried that look promising but didnt help.

maybe are dumb questions but:
is your sbk, the 1st or the 2nd version?
are you sure you've used the correct version of nvflash for your sbk?
have you tried to install usb driver simply from the asus website?

Tried both and they will tell me they cant find my transformer. The asus drivers are installed, before I bricked the phone I could copy files on it. But now it will only show as unknown usb device and I cant install a driver for it.

Listen since your tablet is B70 use 1st method... also "easy flash" has a link to a driver called "universal naked driver" use it... then try rooting.. should work fine

Could you be more specific about installing the custom firmware doesn't work? Did you wipe everything completely beforehand?
What did NVFlash tell you? Are you sure you really are in APX mode?

What you mean by "it doesn't recognize the driver" ? You should remove existing drivers from your laptop and install naked drivers... read the steps properly.... its pretty easy

I was trying to install the stock rom/recovery. did a complete wipe before. always works like charm when i do that on my phone.
NV Flash tells me that it doesn't recognize the phone. I am not sure if I am in APX mode. I read only that the tablet should make a sound, which it doesn't for me. When I press power+up windows is trying to install a driver though, so I am in some kind of mode.

Windows doesnt allow me to install the drivers for apx when Iam navigating to the driver folder. Tried serveral sources including the naked drivers.
Not so confident that removing drivers will help anything since I wasnt able to install a driver in the first place. I will browse my hardware list and see if there are some things that I can remove and try reinsalling.

Ok I attachted my transformer to my laptop and that one didnt have any drivers installed. I started the transformer with pressing the up+power button and windows installed a unknown usb device, without any possibility to select a driver. I tried to install the naked driver 0.7 from ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875 ) without any success.
Also wheeli shows an connection error v1 or v2.
See attachted Screenshots.
Anyone with a solution to flash stock rom ? or any rom.

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.

Exactly. Even after installing a fresh copy of XP, the issue persists :silly:

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.

[Q] Blind ADB and seeint Fastboot

Hi. Fresh root user here. Maybe the exact problem was solved elsewhere but after 2h of searching I didn't really found anything to solve this.
I installed TWRP on my TF300T, rooted, changed kernel for Clemsyn's Elite Kernel 1.7ghz and didn't change the ROM because of WiFi connection problems.
Anyway, everything went fairly well until I wanted to push tweaks to the android. I then realized that ADB doesn't see my device.
img62.imageshack.us/img62/2922/adbn.jpg
As you can see, fastboot.exe can see my transformer but adb can't. I think that drivers are installed correctly (maybe wrong), USB Debugging is on. There's no error icon under management of installed devices.
I'm on Windows 7 x64.

Nah... I didn't even think of connecting in fastboot/recovery/anything with Pad.
uh... I just realised that while connected in TWRP my OS sees TF300T as Transformer and there IS a yellow icon. Even though, I can't install drivers or anything. Windows says that there he couldn't update drivers for this device. Any solutions? Beside using drivers from the SDK I tried downloading drivers from other topics but it didn't help.

[Q] Bricked TF101, tried brk tool, easyflasher, peri

Good day, I am new here as a member. I think I bricked my TF101. The other day I installed 2 apps from play store if i remember it it was yousendit. I am running on stock ICS. then it just automatically turned off. i tried to turn it on again but when it goes into the asus screen with circling dots it just turns off again. tried cold booting it, still the same. then i used wipe data. but an hour has past still my tablet is still showng the android with a rotating orb in its belly. so last night i downloaded every tool i could research. first i tried PERI but it says it does not recognize my device, then i use brks tool v8, i tried installing stock rom as instructed, no success. then i tried easy flasher today and now i cant even see the first boot screen.
I hope you can help me, i use this tablet at work and presentation to my clients. I am new with this OS and seems that i wrecked my tab by solving it myslef, I hope this was not the case. BTW i have a B60 tf101. i bought it second hand with my savings so i have no warranty.
can you please give me a step by step solution, i am very desperate here, thank you.

Easy flaher is the way out,
1) Download universal naked driver and unzip into a folder
2) Download latest Asus transformer firmware and put it in firmware folder.
3) Uninstall all Asus drivers from your laptop.
4) Disconnect your laptop from WiFi/internet and make it offline
4) Now plug your tablet and let windows install required driver.
5) If windows cannot install driver( mostly it won't as laptop is not connected to the net) then use "manually install driver" option and select the folder where you downloaded and unzipped "universal naked driver" and that should install the naked driver.
6) If that doesn't then goto device manager, there you should see unknown device, select it and update the driver manually.
7) Once the driver is installed, then unplug the tablet
8) now connect the tablet back and press volume up and power button together till laptop starts installing APX driver.
9) If it doesn't then try repeating step 5 or step 6 and that will install APX driver.
10) Launch EASY FLASHER and unroot and install stock ROM...
Good luck

Sir i still cant get it to work i followed your instruction.
BTW here are my details. I guess I downloaded the correct update.
TF101

I am using an old HP laptop with XP as OS. And I adownloaded this from the asus website and placed it in the folder inside the easy flasher folder WW_epaduser9_2_1_27UpdateLauncher.zip.

I tihnk a PART of your issues is that you got the wrong file. Instead of the WW version you should be using the US_epaduser file. This is of course thinking that you are in the USA.
I downloaded the WW version thinking that the pad was bought here in the Philippines (second hand). Or maybe I am wrong. Thanks for the idea I'll download the other update and give it a try.
You have a B60 tablet, just use NvFlash via APX mode manually. Much less room for error than anything else IMO, first download image from here http://xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=Asus/Asus+Transformer+(TF101)/STOCK+ROMS/ICS+.27
Pick WW for ww tablet, or US for us tablet. (I believe yours will be a US tablet, purchased in the Philippines)
Then download wheelie (NvFlash tool) from androidroot.mobi. Copy and paste the files into the other folder you downloaded earlier, overwrite everything with the newer wheelie files.
Put TF into APX mode (Power off, hold volume up while plugged into computer, power back on, screen will remain black and computer should detect device in APX mode.)
Run Reflash_sbkv1.bat (make sure it is sbkv1 not sbkv2 as you have a B60)
If runs successfully you should be unbricked.
You can then reroot with PERI or other if desired.

It doesn't matter what version of Asus you download ( I'm in US and I downloaded WW version), but can you explain what problems you facing while you try to follow the steps I mentioned... also screen shot of laptop would help I have bricked my tablet at least 10 times and easy flasher (wheelie) always brought it back....

Easy flasher *should* work, from what I've heard of it.
I was wondering what's supposed to happen after I launch sbkv1, my tablet just seems to disconnect and the screen stays black.
im trying on whellie tonight
so here are my screenshots. i downloaded from the link you gave me, and downladed wheelie then extracted wheelie on the same folder as the rom. clicked on reflash sbkv1 and on to the next screenshot, how many minutes sholud i wait for it, it says done, but when i switch on my TF nothing happens.
I followed again the whelie using the US and this happened. will it automatically boot my TF or should i manually boot it?
I also used easyflasher and i got stuck with this? what am I doing wrong?
guys i found the box of my TF and shot a pic of the serial number just to be sure.
i researched a bit on other forums and i think im in an permanent apx loop which some say is unsolvable. is this true? i hope not.

As far as I can understand, your laptop is recognizing your tablet in APX mode otherwise easy flasher won't work. So plug it back in apex mode and click on "flash Asus stock zip" it will push stock unrooted Asus rom, WAIT for it to finish, it might take some time but WAIT!!! Once its totally finished then you can reboot into a stock ROM.... WAIT for EASY FLASHER to finish.
if you like to root again then use the same to flash recovery and superuser
Sent from my Transformer using xda app-developers app
Thank you for your reply sir. I waited but it seems the while flashing as shown on the screen the TF gets disconnected. I counter check it on the device manager and the "nvidia boot reccovery" was not showing.
It never happened to me, it takes time but it always pushed stock zip through, if that's not happening then I'm out of ideas. I'm sorry to say I'm out of ideas. But sometime back I saw some where, some one suggested a way to unbrick using ADB, I'm not not sure how to ho about it, search the forum, you might find it.. good luck
Following is the last option if nothing else helps and no one can provide you an answer then try following
Instead of flashing Asus stock ROM, Use easy flash to push twrp recovery, i know its not conventional but if you get recovery then you can flash a custom rom... GOOD LUCK

Thank you very much sir for your time and to all that replied to this problem. It really disconnects after formatting the 10th partition. I researched on how to use the ADB and that requires a lot more knowledge on programming. I will still try the last option, im crossing my fingers it will work or else ill call the asus service center her in the Philippines. Hopefully they can fx it and it wont be an expensive fix. Thanks again!

[Q] twrp manager to downgrade??

I've been reading and researching for weeks and have finally decided to unlock and install twrp recovery. I have successfully unlocked, but that is as far as I can get. For some reason, my win7 pc thinks my tf700 is a Samsung android phone. In the pc device manager, under Samsung android phone is where my asus adb interface device shows up. Clicking on properties of the Samsung phone does not produce any drivers to uninstall and uninstallation of the phone works, but reinstalls when I connect my tf700. So, I'm stuck. I'm wondering if I can use twrp manager from the playstore to install 10.6.1.14.8.zip to downgrade and then root, install twrp from goo manager ? Fastboot method of installing twrp has not worked for me either, I'm thinking because of the drivers issue. Any one have any thoughts of where I can go from here ? I'd really like to get a custom rom on my tablet.

Strange problem. Did you have the drivers for a Samsung phone installed prior?
It would be good if you could solve the driver issue - just so that you have fastboot access to your tab in the future.
Sure, you could downgrade to .8 and use Motochopper to root, then GooMangager to install TWRP (though I have never heard of TWRP manager to install stock firmware???), a quick search on the forums will give you the steps.
But to solve the driver issue, you may want to try to install the Universal Naked Drivers from Google, or install the Android SDK tool and through it the Platform Tools and drivers. I would prefer the latter.

yes, I rooted, twrp'd and installed bone stock on my vzw gs3.
I have used guides to install platform tools, put them in my PATH so I could use a cmd prompt from anywhere, plus I've tried to install the naked drivers and everytime I connect the tablet it goes through the installing drivers through windows update and and says my 700 is a Samsung phone. I uninstall the drivers, don't let it use windows update for drivers, and point it toward naked drivers folder (unzipped) and it doesn't install. says I still have a Samsung phone. click on Samsung phone in device manager and have asus adb interface under it. I must be missing something. maybe I'll redo my platform tools and see if maybe I missed an important step or typed something wrong. when I connect my 700 to the pc in fastboot, it isn't recognized. what should be happening ? what should I be seeing ?

I must be missing something. maybe I'll redo my platform tools and see if maybe I missed an important step or typed something wrong. when I connect my 700 to the pc in fastboot, it isn't recognized. what should be happening ? what should I be seeing ?

Once connected in fastboot, if you type 'fastboot devices' (without the '), you should see the serial number of your tablet. Otherwise you see: No devices found or something to the effect.

USB not recognized + no Recovery

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.

You do have USB debugging enabled in the Developer settings, do you?

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:

In the Device Manager I have nothing under Portable Devices, but under USB devices it appears an Unrecognized USB Device and a bubble notifying about an unrecognized USB device keeps popping in the task bar. Even after installing ASUS Sync it is not detected.

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...

I don't have a dock and I am connecting directly with the cable. I have just reflashed it to stock rom again hoping it resolves itself but nothing.
It's driving me crazy. The stock rom is really sluggish and I want to flash it to CM
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.
