OK. First of all, although I'm using the TF101 for the first time, I'd like to say that I've done a fair bit of rooting, troubleshooting and customizing various Android devices (HD2, Desire, SE x10, SGS2, SGSN, SGSN2...). So I ensure you, any lack of knowledge regarding the TF101 is not caused by ignorance. I'm trying to find out the cause for my problem for few days now, but can't find something to catch on. There are many similar problems with TF101 not being recognized by PC, but they all offer solutions which don't work, I don't understand them, or which make no sense.
Let's start at the beginning.
I have gotten my hands on Asus EEE Pad Transformer TF101. It was really cheap. I was told it came form USA.
It's obviously rooted, has a custom rom and recovery (ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.1. roach2010-tf101-r1)
This is waht it says in Settings>About:

It seems to be working fine, except for being totally filled up with apps, bloatware and data. Natural instinct was to install a clean ROM. I wanted to go with CM, and a newer Recovery, but I got stuck on the first step. I can't get it recognized on any of my computers. Both Windows 7 and 8.
However I plug it in, I get; USB device not recognized. One of the USB devices attached to you computer has malfunctioned... This happens when I connect the USB cable when Android is booted up, when in recovery and also in APX mode, providing I have entered it (I'm not really sure because the display is always black).
In Device Manager, I can see only one exclamation icon (I did enable show hidden devices) in Universal Serious Bus Controllers called Unknown Device, which seems to be from the TF101. I tried uninstalling it. Restarting both the tablet and the computers. I tried to manually override those Unknown Device drivers with ASUS Android USB drivers for Windows and Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72 and ventana apx driver, but it wouldn't take any of them. I also tried installing them manually by right clicking on the INF files, and still nothing.
Then I thought I could mount the sdcard or USB mode in recovery, but that wouldn't work either.
Any solutions?
Do you have the stock USB cable? Are you plugging in to a usb3 slot?
Does the rom have fast charge enabled? I think that's what it's called but it allows USB charge rather than seeing your files and such.
Do you have mtp mode or mass storage mode options on the tablet?

Yes, I have stock USB cable. At least I think so. I'm not the first owner. How can I be sure? It seems to be charging fine on the wall charger. It doesn't charge thru PC though.
If you are asking me if I tried it on USB 3.0; yes I did. Both 2.0 and 3.0. Not recognized.
I don't know if the ROM has "fast charge". I'm new to the TF101, and Honeycomb in general, and I didn't notice such an option. Where can I look?
I also didn't see any MTP/Mass storage modes in settings. Where would they be?

Lol I don't know on honeycomb. It's been a long time but these threads are filled with fast charge and the other issue as well. Do some more searches it's bound to give you something.

I did look around. I read a ton of posts here and elsewhere. There is nothing to the point. People at transformer forums are actually advising to just forget about the usb and use wireless transfer instead, since there are so many people with this problem who can't solve it. That would be fine with me, but I'm especially stuck because I can't flash anything since my USB connection is not working, and current CWM recovery doesn't seem to support flashing from internal memory/sd card.
Before you do anything else, install TWRP recovery before you brick your TF with CWM
Install Goo Manager here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager
Tap the menu dots at the top right of the app and choose "Install OpenRecoveryScript"
That should flash the latest TWRP recovery for you

Are those drivers signed? I know 7 will reject an unsigned driver for security reasons.

You might need to update to ICS first then, maybe Honeycomb is too old
CWM has a habit of boot looping devices, I would try updating to an ICS ROM and then trying Goo again before going for a Jellybean ROM
EDIT - You might have more luck getting TWRP installed using Easyflasher

My guess is a bad USB cable. I had my USB cable stop working for ADB/APX/MTP/PTP but it still works with the Asus wall wart for charging. New USB cable fixed it straight away.

Same problem here... Tried Naked Driver and still got nothing. The Tablet just won't get recognized by the computer (Windows 8.1).
Did you have any luck unbricking it?
I've been through soft bricks before but this time, it seems to me that I've hit the bottom... I just can't think of anything else... any help??
had this problem for 2 years now. started off off like that, now it doesnt recognize at all. if it's rooted, flash a recovery using a terminal emulator. (there are instructions on team win's website on how to flash it to the appropriate block). then, just install a ROM with twrp. mine is in a permaloop. wiping data, rebooting, doing it again. if you get it to work, don't tinker with it any more. that's from my experience.

Don't wanna be the bearer of bad news but, I gave up trying to recover that thing a long time ago buddy. My advise to you would be: let go of it. The way I see it, the only way you could do it would be if you could replace the connection port and regain access to you tablet through you computer - considering the problem is being caused by that port.
Another way of doing that would be if you could actually have access to the tablet's internal storage and then place a ROM there so you could flash that using CWM.
Those are the only two options I didn't try, and now I can't, since I gave mine away to someone I thought could try one of those things, but not even an eager 17 year old boy could do it.
So, good luck with that.
Hello! I have a huge problem with my tf700t, Windows 8 won't recognise my device. In device manger it just says: Unknown device.
I'v tried to install the usb drivers manualy but it won't work... I just get "can not find driver software for this device" the error device mangere gives me is "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" I also tired to install asus sync....
I'm running newest frimware form asus (4.2.1)
Before i installet the 4.2.1 from asus I was running offical cm 10.1 and everything was working. Then i decided to go back stock because i was going to sell the device. I wiped everything including system to unroot the device. After that I downloaded the firmware for asus web page and flashed it. Everything was working except i couldn't connect it to a computer. So i decided to try to flash a older frimware (4.1.1) but I was not able to get into recovery.
I don't know what to do now. I can't install a new rom becouse i can't connect it to my computer or get ot the recovery. I can also not install a new recovery because i don't have root or adb and fastboot won't work.
Any ideas ?

What you see there IS the stock recovery which overwrote CWM or TWRP when you flashed the stock firmware.
You can use the stock recovery only for one thing: Flashing an official Asus update. The Droid on his back tells you that the stock recovery does not find an update.
So that part is good. You're rom is intact and healthy.
Do you have access to a different computer? Can you try to get the tablet to connect in Windows 7?
I have no experience with Win8 - no idea what the driver problem may be. But that's what it is: You need to find he correct drivers....
I tried with my mothers laptop but that's also running windows 8 but same problem apres, and the other pc I have runs ubuntu :/

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

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.

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:

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 ?

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.
Anyone know where I can locate the APX drivers for the Tf700?
I've scoured Google and the only reference I could find linked to a file that was removed.

What is exactly "didn't work"? You can't install on your OS or your OS still can not recognize your device...
What OS are you running? I just want to know more information...
I couldn't get the universal drivers to work on win 8.1 either - even starting it in test mode. Yest to find apx drivers that work with it

Win 7 64.
Device originally detected as APX but with yellow !. Then Windows installed it as "unknown device".
Uninstalled that from Device Manager and rebooted. Connected tablet and get "unknown device" again.
When I try to update driver to those in link it says "best driver already installed"
Just tried those drivers on my notebook (fresh install of Win 7 64). Same thing - Unknown Device.
Think I have to face the fact that my tablet is bricked

Why is it bricked? Can you boot into your bootloader? What is exactly you want to do to your device? Maybe, someone can help you if you can tell us more details about your device. Your bootloader version, ROM, kernel, stock firmware, and your current state of your problems...

I attempted to update my CM10 ROM to CM11. Went through the process of upgrading CWM via Clockwork ROM Manager but I suspect that it didn;t work.
Booted into CWM, did a factory reset and Dalvik Wipe. Then attempted to install the CM11 ROM. It failed (can;t remember th exact error).
After that I could restart into the recovery menu (3 icons) - but the next time I tried to restart I ended up where I am now.
Endless loop of the Asus logo with the "device is unlocked" mice type - that's the only screen I get.
I can get into APX mode (I think) but when I connect the tablet to a PC it's not recognized.
Can Asus do a factory repair? I know I'll get cahrged for it but at this point I have a near mint tablet, the keyboard and very expensive leather case that's just junk if not.

I think that I know why your PC did not recognize your device... Do you know how to use ADB? What is happening when you enter "adb devices" in your adb prompt? Does your Asus screen have a spinning circle under Asus logo? I guessed that you are stuck at the bootloader screen and waiting for your OS to start so there is no spinning circle...
Please answer those questions above and maybe some experts can help you out... Good luck...

No spinning logo.
adb devices =
* daemon not running. starting it on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
Then command line

Oh well, you can not boot into your bootloader and can not get adb running. I hope that someone or experts can jump in and give you some good advices... Maybe, _that, sbdags, lj50036, and berndblb are actively helping users around here... good luck...:fingers-crossed:

Did you have adb and/or fastboot working prior to this? Meaning, are you sure you have the necessary drivers installed?
Although, I'm afraid neither would help. You probably would not get an ADB connection since you can't boot Android nor boot into recovery or access via fastboot.....
The APX drivers would not help you unless you generated your device specific nvflash blobs prior to this disaster. Without them APX is useless to you.
But before you turn it into a paper weight I would make each and every desperate attempt to revive it I could think of.
For example:
Holding Power + Volume Down for 30 seconds or longer
Volume down + reset pin hole on the side of the tablet
If you have ADB drivers installed: Connect the tablet to PC, type: adb reboot-bootloader and reboot it - hoping that you get a second or two where ADB would connect during the next boot (very slim chance but what the heck...)
Connect the tablet to the wall wart, let it boot to the Asus logo and leave it there. Overnight for 8 hours or so (I have seen this working twice actually - although the situation was somewhat different...)
Beyond that it's prayers, voodoo or replacing the mainboard - sorry.

Thanks!
I'll give these a try tonight.
I see a bunch on eBay for under $250 so I imagine it would be cheaper to just ditch this one if I can't get it working as opposed to sending it back to Asus for repair.

I believe Asus charges $300+ for replacing the board, so yes, you're probably better off buying it on ebay.
Just don't ditch the old one too far - you may need the parts. Or you can sell them

Well struck out on all accounts (I had left it plugged in at the Asus logo last night).
Appreciate all the help but I think it's eBay time for whatever I can get and sell the mobile dock and fancy leather case.
Then to decide what brand to get next....

Hi berndblb,
How are you these days? If vexille can get adb going, he/she could try to push the Asus firmware to the staging partition using dd command and hope for it to reinstall the bootloader....
@vexille
If you somehow can get into the fastboot mode, you may want to keep your device in that mode until you can successfully flash the new bootloader on your device. Good luck...:fingers-crossed:

I've tried every suggestion and cannot get past the "device is unlocked" mice type and static Asus logo.
When using adb it doesn't find any devices. I'll be putting it up eBay tomorrow for whatever I can get.
Looking at the new Samsung Galaxy 8.4 Pro as a replacement.

Hi LMK - you can't win'em all...
I'm good - just returned from a family visit to Germany. Fighting the jetlag - groan. And having to go back to serious work Friday - big groan.
So what did you replace the 700 with - if anything? I get you're snatching it away from your nephew once in a while to do some testing? What kind of a uncle are you? You are probably ruining all his game scores! LOL

I hope that you had a great time with your family... I am still looking and have not decide it yet.. I always backup my stuff before messing with the device. Plus, my nephew has a few hour of playing on the tablet per day any way.. So I can take it any time that I want, hehe....:laugh: I also have a higher authority as an uncle...:silly:
OK guys I have an issue
I now own a tf101 the issue I'm having is a connection issue
I recently purchased my tf101 used as a bargain price as our families 2nd tablet
The lady reset to factory before I purchased
After a couple days I began looking into rooting as an option to restore some functionality to this older tablet when connecting to my computer, I wasn't receiving any notification it was plugged in .... no new device detected ... no sounds..... nothing in device manager
It charges fine... and its an official Asus cord ( least it says Asus on it)
I also got the 40 pin to USB converter and it transfers data from a flash drive to the tablet fine movies pics etc...
I tried the cord on 3 different PC's, and 2 Macs nothing
Tried downloading and installing Asus sync and naked drivers neither helped
(Gonna get my friends cord this weekend see if it does anything)
I also tried most of all of this stuff in USB debugging mode , and toggling sync tool, as well in and not in apex mode
I tried a j5 wormhole USB to USB cord from the 40 pin converter still nothing...
I've read post after post about this topic however NONE have solutions
I had a friend suggest that it may have been rooted before she factory reset it and something got corrupted...
Some other info I'm sure I'll get asked about
Firmware version IML74K.US_epad-9.2.1.27-20120615
Kernel version 2.6.39.4 [email protected]#1
Android version 4.0.3
Whenever I try to boot into any kind of recovery it shows a belly up android with red exclamation mark
Any help would be appreciated
Anyone know if I can root from usb
Same USB Connection Problem
I recently reset my tablet to "factory" and had the exact same issue. Probably searched all the same sites and found the same results you have already seen. "Buy a new cable." "Buy a new tablet."
I used Baiduroot to get temporary root and install TWRP. Unfortunately, I had to download it from a Chinese server and the app is in Chinese, so you are really guessing as to the use of the tool. I poked around till I got it.
So now I can boot into recovery, but have not yet attempted flashing a ROM such as KatKiss.
Rooted, Bootloader, and Flashed
I took courage and flashed. I now have a TF101 with Katkiss 4.4.2 and Gapps running. All done without the cable. In fact, I just plugged it into my computer and it still doesn't recognize it. This is a weird problem.
