no usb data. need to root -tf101 - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Long time listener. First time caller.
I have an issue. My tf101 lost the ability to transfer data about week ago. Meaning, its not detectable by computers or any usb device
The tablet was rooted but i returned to stock in an effort to fix the problem and lost root.
I have tried:
3 cables
4 PC's
1 linux box
The tablet charges fine and even trickle charges from usb ports
I narrowed down the problem to a partially corrupt bootloader. Or simply a bad flash(team rouges rec and revolution rom)
I think i may be able to fix the problem by flashing ClockWork recovery, but i need to get root access. Any ideas or am i just screwed?

So im screwed right?

No, you're not "screwed" You could always just download an over-wifi file transfer app. I'm not sure what the best ones are on the Play Store, but I'd do you research if you're gonna drop a couple bucks on one. I haven't bothered since my Skyrocket is Samsung and I already get Kies Air.
I would suggest after flashing ClockWork recovery trying out some other ROMs and kernels and seeing if that fixes your problem. I would also highly suggest Team Win Recovery Project. It's been my favorite recovery so far, not to mention the touch screen interface is fantastic.

Thanks for answering
Ive been using a combination of google drive and file expert for file transfer, but i cant flash any recovery or any rom or adbwireless because i dont have root anymore.

Did you try loading the official USB drivers?

I assume you can still get into APX mode? If so, I would try running this. It's what I initially used to root my TF101, and it doesn't require you to use your installed recovery. Basically it roots and installs CWM recovery from a script run from your computer. Let me know what happens.

Yes, the tab can go into apx mode, but the computer wouldnt know if it was in apx. Pc doesn't know the tab exists when plugged in.

When plugged in to your computer and in APX mode, check Device Manager and see if there's any unrecognized devices.

Ive been through that. Its not a simple driver issue. Windows doesnt even acknowledge it as an "unrecognized usb device"
Linux does even list it with the lsusb command.
Same for mac.
There is no data being transfered. It doesnt even attempt usb handshaking...

Well, I'm assuming that this is no longer on stock firmware and/or too old to be still under warrantee. The only thing I can think of, unless someone else here can give you an answer, is that it may be a hardware problem and you'd have to send it in to ASUS to get it fixed.....

[Q] SuperOneClick broke my USB?

Well a few days I rooted with SOC worked for a couple days now USB doesn't work at all. It charges just fine but computer does not recognize an external device, nor does my SGS4G. This has been happening with multiple computers and multiple cables, which are the 2 solutions I have found. And yes, I did try restarting my phone, toggling debugging mode, toggling SD card mount, etc.
Thank you for any help I can get.

Interesting problem. I've not used SOC so I may be useless here, but have you tried unrooting with SOC to see if it solves the problem?
If its not recognizing your external SD card have you tried reformatting it?

I could, but it's not recognizing a connection. When I try to tether it says "USB not recognized". I think it's more low-level than the SD card.
Have you tried downloading the drivers again?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
I don't think it's a driver issue, neither my Windows 7 box, nor my CR-48 (Chrome OS) see it as a device. If I had bad drivers it would say "unrecognized device", right? It's just allowing electricity, not data to go over the cable.

Have you tried a factory data reset? Heck, maybe just shut it off, remove the battery, put it back together, and hope for the best?
ok....here is what i did....power down,remove sim card and sd card...power up,plug into computer...it recognizes the phone....so it has to be the sd card i would assume...at least it worked on mine....try it,and let us know please?

Yeah, my bad. I saw that in the OP and forgot. What ROM are you running on it? Would it be worth your time to flash a different ROM to see if it makes a difference?
Could be a hardware issue & possibly unrelated to SOC. I'm not a hardware guy, though, so I'm not sure what tools you need/can create to test the USB port.

also if you have issues with your phone stick it in download mode and plug it into the pc if it was a rom issue your pc would pick it up as download mode is done by the bootloaders not the rom... if it sill not working eather a you have a faluty cable can happen b you do have messed up drivers c you have a debunk usb port... if you still have root access.. you can still instal a new rom just goto krylons cwm final thread use search kinda hard to miss its called KRYLONS CWM FINAL download the files stick them on your sd card ... eather downoad to yuour device directly or use a usb card reader..
oh and for odin to work right 99 percent of the time yuo gotta plug the usb cable into the PORT YOU INSTALLED THE DRIVERS ON
Well, I was able to get USB recognized ONCE, on my laptop that I use for the charging. So, it gets plugged in every day and got recognized once. Unable to reproduce.
I have the same issue, have you tried going settings>wireless and network > Usb utilities click connect storage to PC and then connect the usb cable?

[Q] Need help getting my T959V connected for flashing/rooting.

Problem: Cannot get my Samsung T959V to connect to the computer in order to flash/root. Always gives the same "USB Device Not Recognized" error when I plug it in to the computer.
My Progress: Before you guys throw this questions out, let me tell you what I have tried so far. I have been trying to get this damn thing connected to the computer for about 3 weeks now. I have sat down on my computer going through the xda forum in detail trying to find an answer. I know the process of flashing and the xda contributors have some great guides to help us along the way, a big thanks to all ur hard work, but no matter what, I cannot get the phone in download mode or get it connected to the computer.
* I have read the Download Mode post and tried all 5 ways without luck.
* Have read all things related to Keis Mini and how it sucks when it comes to the T959V and other ppl have had the same problem.
* Have tried connecting in Keis mode, usb debugging mode but still the same error.
If someone can help me get my phone connected to the computer, I am sure I can take of the rest since everything is available on the SGS4G Bible, thanks for that also.
Is there anything I have missed or not tried yet? Please help. Thanks in advance for anyone who reads this post as it is my first. Usually I don't have to post since all the documentation is always up-to-date and available but this problem is killing me
Additional Information: Bought the phone from a cell-phone store I use to work at. Has Android 2.3.6 on it. Have done the factory reset and tried to get it to connect, no luck. Not sure if it has been flashed before, pretty sure it hasnt but the flashed download mode method didnt work also. Have android-sdk installed and have tried pointing the .inf file to the google usb-drivers in the sdk, no luck. Download both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers for this phone from multiple locations, still no luck trying to connect. Have also tried multiple computers and multiple v9 cables, no luck.
Have you installed the Samsung drivers? You mention google drivers but samsung has it's own. You should be able to find them in the noobs guide to Odin thread. DL mode should work as well regardless of what drivers you have installed. Pull the battery, plug usb into computer, plug phone into usb, hold down BOTH vol + and -, insert battery. I've never not seen that method work.

Yup tried both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers on multiple computers. Tried the download mode method u said also. Trust me have tried everything I have read about and know, but no luck.
But the phone charges fine? Could be a bad USB port. Or partially bad. Have you tried a jig? If that doesn't work I'd say your hardware is screwed up somewhere.

A jig is a nifty little device that plugs in to your USB port on the phone and then gets you to DL mode. Their mostly used to recvover from bad flashes(like flashing the wrong phones kernel). Here's a link:

Awesome bro. I will see if I have time to make the jig, if not i will just order it.
Also, is there any way to flash/root without DL mode or USB debugging or using Keis? My recovery mode works but that's all. Was wondering if there was a way i could flash/root from the 'apply update from sdcard' option in the recovery mode?
Seems like a driver error have u tried one of the heimdall one clicks http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
They will put u back to stock with a modified rooted kernel .
If anything try and manually point to the drivers in device manager. Or download android sdk and use the google drivers ?

There was with Froyo but with GB it's all been put into the kernel. So not that I'm aware of. However one of the GB leaks changed the key mapping of the phone. I forget which one but that might be the issue. Go to settings>about phone>build number and let me know what that says. post the base band as well.

I downloaded the terminal emulator app and tried doing 'reboot download' but says 'operation not permitted,' any way to get around that? Or any other non-button or non-adb way to get into download mode? Other than the jig? Or is it possible to get su privileges on an unrooted device for the 'reboot' command to work in the terminal emulator app?
It's giving you "not permitted" because you don't have root. Have you tried Super One Click to root? If you can get SOC to root it you can use terminal to force DL mode.
If you haven't hears the link.

DL 2.3.1. It should come with the android drivers as well. Worth a shot. If it doesn't work it doesn't damage the phone at all.

Sometimes a residual driver will not allow you to properly install the drivers. I had a LG driver from my old phone that was conflicting with Samsung driver.
Also this is a new root process. I do not know if it will work or not. But Hell its worth a try right?

Tablet not detected when connected via usb at all

I connect my tablet to my two laptops, one is win 8.1 and the other osx, neither shows any sign of knowing the tablet is connected at all.
it does not prompt me to instal any drivers, i dont see it in device manager though i could be missing it. definitely doesnt show up in file explorer as a drive. have tried switching from mtp to ptp and back again. I have no dea. The same cable when connected to the charger works fine, but no sign of life on a computer.
I'm trying to root it and get CM10 on there but this is stopping me in my tracks.
edit: i also just tried an older windows xp computer, no luck their either.

I wouldn't start installing custom anything without working fastboot and adb access.
- Make sure the contacts of the connector and cable are clean.
- Do the equivalent of "lsusb" under OSX to check if the tablet is detected.
- Try different USB ports.

Have tried five ports accross three computers on three operating systems. Two usb cables, and the use of the dock should have bypassed any dirty connections. I can try Ubuntu live boot tomorrow if it comes to that.
Sent it off to get fixed, they verified they had the same problem, waited weeks for a replacement part, they replaced it and sent it back. And its doing the samn damn thing. So done with this tablet.

How do you connect the tablet to the PC? Always through the dock USB?
Do you have the same problem when connecting the tablet directly? Undock it, use the original cable to connect to different USB ports.

A bit of an emergency...

Hey there, guys and gals,
I'm having a bit of an issue here, and it's somewhat serious.
The issue is as follows. I have Android 5.0.1 on my Nexus 5. When I connect my computer to my laptop... nothing.
Nothing at all. It doesn't show up in device manager, not even as unknown. Fastboot doesn't detect it, nor does ADB. I can't do anything, and it's scaring me. I don't know how I could have broken it, but I need to know how to fix it.
I'm happy to do whatever to get it working, so please help...
Update: Tried to factory reset, to see if it would fix the issue. It's stuck "Erasing...", and won't go further. I'm afraid my phone may be hard-bricked... Is it possible to reflash these using JTAG, and if so is there anyone that can assist with that process?

Is it stock or what? are you rooted?
Also , keep in mind that the factory reset can take up to 30 minutes.
IMO it sounds like a busted cable/usb port on either side / incorrect drivers.
Edit : JTAG is not possible on our devices , access is locked from the chipset itself.
Are u on Windows 8.1 if so I had a problem with Windows thinking that my phone was a acer and I had to go the driver settings and manually tell it that it was a ADB USB connection then it would connect fine also could be USB cable I found the nexus 5 to be very picky about cables
Sometimes I get that but it solves by going into dev and checking and unchecking usb debugg, but sounds more like a busted usb plug
Have you considered that you may be using incorrect drivers on your PC? This issue can be caused by having improperly installed drivers.

IMO it sounds like a busted cable/usb port on either side / incorrect drivers.
Edit : JTAG is not possible on our devices , access is locked from the chipset itself.

Right. I'll address you all at once for ease.
Firstly, the USB connector functions fine. My USB-OTG cable still allows me to access files on a flash drive.
Secondly, drivers can't be an issue in this case. It won't even enumerate the device in device manager. As if the phone simply isn't plugged in.
Thirdly, Win8 isn't the issue, as I"ve had this phone connected to this computer many, /many/ times.
So it must be a problem within Android 5.0.1
But here's the problem. In order to install anything else, I'd have to install a recovery. In order to that, I need root. In order to root, I need USB. I'm lost, guys...
I just had an idea does towel root work on 5.0 if so u could try that?

Hmm... That might work. I'll take a look. But if it succeeds, then something gets broken later in the process, this thing is a paperweight, right?
Edit: According to http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...29-rooting-nexus-5-towelroot.html#post4125236 Towelroot will never be possible on Lollipop. I didn't go much further than that though...
Ya I just read that to bummer
Edit: as of now there is no way to root without pc sounds like u may have some sort of hardware failure I'm guessing only way to fix is to send it in and that's 150 bucks min

Well... This happened when I updated via OTA (after reinstalling the stock recovery) to 5.0.1 after 5.0. I did this all over USB. Immediately thereafter, it quit. I got it to boot, btw. The erasing problem fixed itself, and it's now running, but the USB is still stuffed. This is sounding more like software than hardware. Almost as if whatever chip talks via USB lost it's own firmware somehow.
Cable or driver 95% sure. Did you try connecting it to a windows 7 /linux pc ? And ... u can never be sure but try connecting to a usb2.0 port. I had those issues when I accidentally plugged my cable in my frontal panel ( usb3.0)
A few months ago I had the same problem, my phone got not recognized by adb or fastboot. I played around a whole day with drivers and stuff like that. At the end I found a post on the internet describing that not all USB cables are able to do adb connections and I should try the original USB cable that came with my Nexus 5. So I looked for that particular cable and hey presto it worked right away.
And 2$ usb cables do break over time. They might still charge , but one cold solder joint and no connection

So you are correct. I didn't see that in your post, my bad.
Have you tried with another cable maybe?
Make sure you have either MTP or PTP checked in Settings/Storage/USB computer connection.

I've tried multiple cables. I KNOW that this cable is fine for ADB, because it works fine for my other devices. All of them. I may be marked a newbie on the forums, but I'm really not one. When I first signed up for this account I was, but that was in what... '07?
I've tried:
Drivers (Obviously won't work.)
Cables
Rebooting
Factory Reset
Different Computers
Linux
Windows
Switching USB connection modes
Toggling Dev Mode/Debugging on/off
Nothing works. It HAS to be a software issue on the phone. I don't think anyone read it, but it's almost as if the IC that handles USB connections has lost it's firmware. I don't think that can happen, honestly, so it must be whatever's in the ROM that TALKS to that IC that's causing the issue. Problem is, I don't know how to fix the ROM without USB connection and Fastboot.

Its unlikely that the ROM will be the cause if the USB port suddenly stops working.
Do you have a custom recovery?
If not, then not much you can do except send it in for repair/replacement.

Htc U11 US unlocked, Nougat 7.1

My phone is not recognized by any computer even if it's in download mode, I have twrp, and I am willing to do the nandroid backup method, the question is, if this process failed for any reason, would I be able to get a previous working status that I am on right now?
I am on a custom ROM LeeDroid Nougat 7.1 and latest TWRP.
Please advise me on how to get my phone working normally as it was, thanks.

is USB debugging enabled under developer options in settings.
also your sdk tools may need updated.

Yes, the USB debugging is enabled and also the MTP is mounted as well, but how do I check to update the sdk tools?
If you are talking about the computer, I think the issue is in the phone, and that's because when I discovered this issue I noticed that when I connect my original charger, it was telling me Charging Rapidly, and now ain't say so but still charging well.
Your response is much appreciated.

It's more than likely a USB issue. Try different ports or different cables.

I have tried everything you can imagine, different cables, different ports and even different computers (desktop and laptop) I think the issue is in my device as it used to write rapidly charging while connected to the DC charger with the original cable and tried multiple ones with no success, it still charge well but I think something is missing in recognition the device USB, I am totally lost the connectivity between my phone and the computer even if I am in the download mode and/or recovery mode.
Any further ideas would be much appreciated.
I have found a thread that posted document for RUU installation and that includes Nandroid backup recovery file which is doable for me to copy the file into the recovery folder and to do the restore from the recovery (TWRP latest version) this file has a stock firmware for Oreo version, but I am not sure if I proceed with this what would happen as I mentioned earlier, I have no connection between my device and any computer which is mandatory to recover the device from any brick could happen, I need a confirmation on this step (Nandroid restore) so I can check, thanks in advance.

Have you tried installing the HTC Sync Manager on your PC to see if that will recognize your phone. Just a thought.

Yes indeed, I have tried it 1st thing but it was useless, because whenever I connect my phone to the computer it gives me error "The USB is malfunctioned and won't work properly" something like that, it gives me this error once I connect my device.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance.

I will do it, but I think it's clean already but will double clean it maybe it works, and I will keep you updated, thanks for your interest in my issue, much appreciated, also if you figured out any solution to my case, just let me know, have a nice day.
