[Q]I need help with viperMOD PrimeTime v4.5

Hi,
I just update my Asus Transformer TF101 through this post it works perfectly.
But, I'd like to install the Android Revolution HD
I read that I need to root with the viperMOD PrimeTime v4.5.
The problem is:
"Plug in your Transformer and make sure to install the drivers located in the included .zip (unless you can already adb into your device, then no need for drivers)"
How do I install these drivers?
Thank you!

Not sure why you used bold for your whole message but w/e
When your device is plugged in hit the start button on your computer and type in "drivers" then click update device drivers. Find the transformer and right click and hit update drivers then update manually chosing a file on my computer then navigate to where the drivers are on your computer

Thanks. Worked !
But looks like I did something wrong.
When I go to RCM it shows an little robot(Android) loading something.
And after few seconds he goes down(like if he've died)
I think my CWM is not well instaled.
I didn't manage to make the "Asus Unlock Tool" works, it said that my device is not supported.
How am I going to do now?

The unlock tool is for the tf201 not 101 which is why it is not supported.
use this to install CWM

I manage the root!

I manege to install the Android Revolution HD with successful.
Thank you!

i9023 - HELP! "No Boot or Recovery IMG & can't connect via USB

Hi guys,
I just have received a i9023 from a friend to repair. I put fastboot on and the device is unlocked, then I copied over Matr1x kernel via USB to the SD card and flashed CMW to recovery.
From here things went bad.
When trying to update the kernel to Matr1x, it showed that the file wasn't on the SD card anymore, so I tried to mount the SD card to copy it back, but it my computer wouldn't see it. Since then I tried many things to get the USB working - updating drivers etc... after awhile I decided to format SD card, which didn't help, so I formatted all the partitions on the phone.
Now, every time the phone comes on, it boots straight to fastboot, but also the PC will still not recognise the phone via USB.
I've tried getting into Download mode and using ODIN to flash a new kernel & ROM, but this wont work without USB working.
Can anyone help?
PS. I have read many other guides and posts, but nothing has helped.
Many thanks.

*Bump*

Are you running Ubuntu or similar? You need to be root to use fastboot and edit the right config files
wait, did you go to the mount menu in cwm? You can mount as usb storage in that menu... Are you saying it doesn't show up on your computer? Are you running windows?

I've a friend in the same situation.
We managed to make the phone recognizable using pda.net driver for nexus S, but weren't abel to find a single tar file to use on Odin.
Seems that all stocks rom were deleted from any storage.

Yes, I tried to mount as USB Storage in the Recovery Menu - didn't work, but now, I've only got fastboot - Booting up the phone normally jumps straight to fastboot, trying to boot into recovery doesn't work (just the fallen over Android pic with the red "!" on his chest).
I'm using Windows 7 and computer will not recognise the phone at all (it was working before this & the MicroUSB port is not damaged).
My GT-i9100 works perfectly via USB.

If I can get it to connect to my PC so I can throw a stock ROM on there via ODIN I should be right (Pretty sure SAMFIRMWARE has some).

I've found often that the sdcard only gets mounted when you "choose zip from sdcard" in recovery. I panicked once with a galaxy s when I had forgot to put any rom on the sdcard and couldn't mount it subsequently. Ended up using heimdall with success. Also make sure you have latest version of fastboot, from platform tools 4.0.3.

Yeah, try Odin

If you can download sdk with the google drivers and install the drivers through device manager, you should be able to get your usb to connect again to fastboot. There is a bootloader driver inside the kit!

Yeah, it is definitely not connecting via fastboot. Windows 7 just comes up with UNKNOWN DEVICE., as does my WinPX machine. It's very strange.

Can you try Ubuntu? Any luck with Odin?

Does it say unknown device in device manager?

I don't have a machine with Ubuntu on it unfortunately.
Yes, Unknown Device in Device Manager - it won't accept it when I point the new driver to the modified Google USB .inf file

Yes, I did - it said that this inf (driver) doesn't contain information about the device in question.

I think I came across a USB driver problem once that was rectified by deleting the relevant keys from the registry. Could be worth looking into.
EDIT: Found it!
Open regedit and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Enum > USBSTOR
and look for any devices that could be your nexus s.
I think they might be these:
Disk&Ven_Android&Prod_UMS_Composite&Rev_0001
Disk&Ven_Google&Prod_File-CD_Gadget&Rev_0000
You should be able to delete them (if not, change the permissions).
Then reboot and hopefully next time you plug in your phone, the drivers will reload.

Many thanks for all your help everyone; unfortunately I still have yet to figure out how to get this working. Please keep throwing out your ideas

I gave this a go as it sounded like a great idea, but unfortunately it still isn't working.
I ended up deleting the drivers it was installing which wouldn't work & now it will only show up as 2x Unknown device under 'Portable Devices' heading.

I think you should try installing ubuntu, and the android sdk so you have access to fastboot again.

Recovery Error, please help

Hello All,
i have updated recovery through rom manager to the latest version 6.0.1.3 , now when i try to do backups or flash another rom i get the error: E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard/] so i am stuck.
Is there an easy solution for this? im not an advanced user, i have seen in other thread that someone suggest this solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012 but i wonder if there is not something easier like re installing recovery or something else.
Thank you in advance

Please anyone?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29632231&postcount=3

Hello guys,
First of all thanks for the will to help,
The method i cannot do as i cannot access to the sd card so i cannot flash anything (if i understood correctly the method)
Regarding easy flasher I already looked into it, downloaded everything but i cannot install the APX Drivers recommended there, windows tells me that cannot update the drivers i followed this guide but nothing
Uninstall any previous driver package's you may have installed and also manually remove drivers by attaching your phone and going to Windows device manager and right click the entry for your phone and select "Uninstall" on the next prompt make sure to select "Delete the driver software for this device" then hit OK and reboot before installing these drivers
i dont know what to do can someone help me with this issue? thanks

Can Not Get Naked Drivers Installed for NvFlash Setup

I can not figure out what the hell I am doing wrong here.
I downloaded the naked driver pack on the guide page labeled 'Drivers TF700: Windows (Patched Universal Naked Driver)'. I unzipped the folder and plugged my TF700 into my computer. I then opened up the Device Manager and clicked on 'Asus Android Devices', then right clicked on 'Asus Android Composite ADB Interface' and pressed uninstall. I checked the 'delete the driver software for this device' and pressed OK.
The drivers uninstalled successfully and I turned off my WiFi card. I then unplugged and re-plugged my TF700 and navigated to 'Other Devices' in the Device Manager. I right clicked on 'Asus Android Composite ADB Interface' and clicked 'update driver software...' and then on 'browse my computer for driver software'.
I then navigated to the folder that I unzipped the driver pack to and tried to install them (clicking the 'include sub-folders' option). No go, I got the error message 'Windows was unable to find the driver software for your device' or something very similar. I then tried specifically pointing to both the i386 and amd64 sub-folders just to see if that wouldn't work somehow but I got the same error message.
What am I doing wrong? I am using a Lenovo G550 (I think) 32-bit laptop running Windows 7. My TF700 is rooted and unlocked but not much else has been done to it.
If anyone can help me get these installed I would really appreciate it. I assume I can probably set up NvFlash with the standard Asus drivers but I would rather set it up exactly the way it is recommended to ensure success.
Massive thanks in advance!

Put the device in apx mode then try that process. It should show up as an APX device and that's what you apply the nvflash drivers to.

That step isn't till later
@OP - let it update the drivers form Windows. That should be fine. As long as you can see the device and it has no errors or warnings around it. you only need the specific drivers when you get to the APX mode, then it will find them.

I had pretty much the same problem, but it turned out it went a lot smoother with reboot in between. Try that, and disable Windows' desperate searching for drivers on Windows Update -- I got some funky drivers and device designations from the WHQL drivers... Please report back in with any progress or lack thereof, and we'll try and get you back on track.

This.
I had big time problems as well with installing these correctly. You need to reboot after uninstalling all old drivers. 1) Hook up Infinity in Android Debug mode 2) uninstall/delete old drivers like you did 3) reboot PC 4) Plug in Infinity again in Android Debug mode 5) install drivers manually through hardware wizard (use have disk option)
Repeat this process for fastboot mode. Note: you will get a warning that you are installing drivers that have not passed WHQL. Disregard. Install anyways.
Its a pain in the butt process but you have to reboot after uninstalling each old driver. You should probably reboot and remove Infinity USB connection after each successful install of new drivers. This is how I got everything to work. I also tried a different USB port.

Can you clarify this? What do you mean by 'repeat this for fastboot mode'?

Still no luck. I uninstalled 'ASUS ABD Interface', unplugged the TF700, restarted the computer, plugged the tablet back in, and tried to uninstall. Told me the same thing, that Windows could not find the driver software.
Any other ideas? I have no clue what to do now...

I am having the same exact issue. And strangely I get the same results on both my laptop and desk top systems. I search the forums for solutions and found the same answers that were suggested here but nothing works for me. I just can't figure out what I am doing wrong since so many others seem to be able to install the drivers without problems. Did you ever resolve your driver issue? Are you certain that the standard ASUS drivers will work?

Guys you need to install those drivers manually,it's not that hard.Here's how you should do it:
1) Put your device in Fastboot or APX mode (depend on the driver you want to install) and connect it to your PC
2) Open Device Manager and select the device
3) Right Click and select " Update Driver Software " and choose " Browse My Computer for driver software"
4) Now click on " Let me pick from a list of device driver " and select " HAVE DISK "
5) BROWSE to the folder where naked drivers are located and select "android_winusb.inf " if you are trying to install the FastBoot driver or choose " android_apxusb.inf " if you are trying to install the APX drivers.
6) After the installation is done reboot your PC
If Windows give you a big red warning about the driver not beeing signed just ignore it and go ahead installing the driver.
Also you should disable UAC if it's enabled.

Thank you very, very much but I just figured that out and came back to this thread to tell it. I wasn't doing the "Have Disk" thing. I was just browsing to the driver's folder. I just successfully installed NVflash. I installed the ADB drivers at first but during the Nvflash installation process I had to go back and install the APX drivers. Thanks again. Now time for Jelly Bean.

Is the other way around, NvFlash will help you in 98% of bricks situation, if you don't believe try to investigate more, you can even try to wipe your bootloader if you want to check that percentage.

I'm still not getting it I guess. I am assuming when doing it this way you do not uninstall the original drivers first or else the computer would not recognize the device correctly, please correct me if I am wrong.
I keep seeing this supposed "have disk" option talked about but I don't see it anywhere. Could someone please screenshot it for me?

I'm talking about nvflash for the tf700 only. 98% of ppl in the tf700 experienced this type of issue where nvflash is uselessmost I believe cause by install custom recovery), where your pc failed to see your device. Below is another sample.

So I see you are trolling this thread too... 98%??? Really??? Can you give a source for that or is that a number you just made up?
NVFlash is useless if you have not already made the backups. But you are completely incorrect if you are suggesting that it is useless even if you have made the backups.
Best not to troll when you clearly do not understand what you are talking about

Here is a screen capture from my system. Look in the lower right for the HAVE DISK button. Following the directions giving earlier should get you to this point. Just click HAVE DISK and guide to where you have the drivers on your system. You may not see the list of drivers as on the screen capture the first time you do it. Since I have already installed the drivers the system remembered where to look so the drivers are visible. Also make sure to connect your tablet to your computer in order for the device to be visible in device manager. The device in device manager should say android ABD Interface or something of that sort. It took me awhile to get it too

As of the time of this reply I have got the Fasboot drivers installed, but I still saw now "have disk" option. After turning UAC off (don't know how that got back on) I was still just selecting a folder as shown in my previous screenshot.
About to try APX, will post results.

Got it! Thank you guys so much, I really appreciate it. This was seriously driving me crazy, but I still don't understand how we are looking at different menus.

[Q] Bricked my tablet? Unable to unbrick, pls help!

Hello, I rooted my tablet for 1 year ago and had been using Revolution HD ever since. This evening I decided to upgrade to something more new and came across goomanager so I downloaded the Cyanmode cm-9.1.0tf101 via the app. I flashed with TWRP (easyflasher) v.2.3.1.1. The issues I am having now are:
1. The loading screen (the guy with spinning circle behind him) keeps appear randomly and constantly and resets everything each time (wifi etc)
2. I cannot access the folders (the file manager is gone). I cannot access to the folders even when the tablet is connected to PC, the folders show emptiness.
3. The TWRP I am using don't allow me to flash anything from external usb. Therefor I dont know how to install another rom or how to fix these problems
EDIT: I have tried to flash the stock version 9.2.1.27 with easyflasher but it failed. The problem is that I cannot enter apx mode. I installed Universal Naked Driver 0.7 but everytime I try to enter apx mode, it resets and says "drivers could not be installed".
EDIT2: I was able to install CWM recovery v.3 with Brk.root.toolkit.v7.1 but can't access sdcard to flash roms, it says "cant mount sdcard, unable to open ums lunfile
Where do I go from here to get anything working?
PLS help

Remove all Asus drivers installed on your laptop and restart. Now try installing universal naked driver, if your your laptop still says "drivers could not be installed" then unzip the driver and place it in a folder and then go to device manager and look for "unknown devices"... select it and update driver manually by selecting the unzipped folder.

I had the same problem with drivers. The naked universal didn't work, nor any other driver I found on xda.
I uninstalled them and when reinstalling let Windows choose driver from whole c:. After a few minutes a driver was installed.
