So I don't really have a need for it but I like everything to work. Asus sync won't work I hook up my transformer to my computer and the asus sync says searching and it is open on my computer then it says cannot find Asus sync. Anybody else have a problem with this I downloaded the drivers but there was no install package just all the files

Make sure USB Debugging is off on your TF.
Thank you so much that was the problem

I tried connecting my Transformer to my PC this morning to make copying files to internal memory a bit quicker than using wifi. Assuming it would be like pretty much every other Android device, i just plugged the Transformer in using the supplied USB cable and assumed Windows would recognise the Transformer and download the appropriate device driver.
Unfortunately, it did not recognise the device and came up with that message. So i uninstalled the generic drivers for the unknown device and then installed the Asus PC suite thinking that this would work. Rebooted computer, plugged in Transformer and again same message, device not recognised.
Why isn't this simple? I'm yet to try on another PC. Can anyone suggest any tricks to get this working?
Just download the actual USB drivers from ASUS, plug in the TF, right click My Computer then click Manage, select Device Manager from the pane on the left and find the transformer in one of the dropdowns on the main pane. Right click the transformer in the dropdown and update driver, choose to find driver yourself, navigate to the ASUS usb driver folder you downloaded and continue. Drivers should then be installed.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried to manually install the drivers this way and pointing to the inf files to install but windows says they are not a valid driver installation file. I noticed someone else was having this problem in another thread and it was unresolved.
Weird. I have win 7 x64 on my desktop and laptop and never had problems installing drivers or recognition problems. Should try connecting to another machine with x64, might be a hardware problem with your machine.

If you run the asus sync or pcsuite application, either one will install automatically the usb drivers.
Remove all the drivers you have installed and then reinstall from ASUS. They may be conflicting
When using vipermod on Linux in the terminal it shows a " cannot stat " error on every line the script does. How can I fix this?

do you have the right drivers installed
Adb sees my tf101. So driver wise things must be good. Also if i do lsusb it also sees the asustek transformer

I'm pretty sure you need the specific drivers for vipermod inst. I think they are actually primes' drivers. Go to the vipermod thread and watch the video tutorial on how to install them and read thouroghly
Hi,
As a brand new owner of TF700T (9.4.5.22), I'd like to root it. I've thus read many posts on this site (and elsewhere, which most often direct to this forum..), in particular one describing the use of debugfs.
One pint that I've still not understood is how to install debugfs: post states to unzip the debugfs files and then to install its drivers. But when I connect my TF700T to PC (with debug tckied and asus sync unchecked), my Win7 64 deos not recongizes the device (unknown device). If I go to device manager, I see a "unknown device" and if I "update its driver", I select the directory of drivers/android from debugfs 1.9, but then I get a message that there's no need to update driver, but still I see "no driver" has been installed for the device, and it remains "unknown".
What do I do wrong ? Or do I need to install Asus Sync on PC, and then simply "exit" it to run adb/debugfs ? ("exit" and not "uninstall") ?
I also tried to check various websites, such as the transformerprimeroot site and its tutorials, but it doesn't help me. I also found another website suggesting to install java sdk+Google SDK, etc., but I've the feeling it's not required for rooting... or is it ?
Thanks in advance for your help,

Try using the USB driver from the Android SDK. Although that might be the same one that's included in the debugfs root tool.
If the tablet shows up as a ADB composite device or something (don't have the tablet nearby to check, sorry) in the device manager you should be good to go.
If you can run "adb shell" and get anything but an error message, you're good to go. Type "exit" to get out of the shell.
Do not install the Asus Sync software, it can only end in tears

I'm not sure where to look: on Android SDK pages, it states that to connect devices, you need to go to OEM pages, and when I go follow their link to Asus I get the support page which lists firwraes and Asus Sync, but not drivers separately. Does it mean I need to install first Asus Sync, then remove it ?
I could progress :
- first, it coud interest others to see that despite Asus does not propose USB drivers for TF700T, it still does for TF201. I could download such USB drivers, thoug I did not use them..
- as I had to put my laptop on hibernation, when I switched it on again, I unzipped the USB drivers (nothing more, so probably no effect), I plugged in my TF700T and then it was recognised. I assume the download of the USB drivers did not have any effect, but it's probably linked to laptop exiting hibernation (update of some Win7 processes, I guess?)
- in device Manager, under Portable Devices, it states "ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T" and not "composite ADB" as I could read sometimes..
I'm now starting the debugfs.bat, and it's looking ok so far...so I cross my fingers !
It worked ! My device is now rooted. Thanks a lot to all of you !
I'm having the same problem, but unfortunately without Windows suddenly finding drivers.
In Device Manager, the tablet shows up as ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface, but with no driver installed (and the familiar little yellow warning triangle). Windows can't find drivers automatically, and telling it to find them in DebugfsRoot_v1.8/Drivers/Android doesn't work.
As far as I can tell, the ASUS TF700T page currently has no drivers. (I'm not allowed to link 'cause I'm a new user.) The TF201 page does have drivers, listed under 'USB', but diff tells me they're the same as the ones packaged with the debugfs root tool.
I just wanted to check: am I doing something wrong? It seems like rico also saw no drivers at the ASUS page, but then Windows suddenly recognized his tablet anyway.
I haven't installed the Android SDK because I'd rather not install Java, and from what I can tell it won't make a difference here (and rico didn't need it). But I'm a noob, so please let me know if that's what I have to do!

Here is what I did
get ASUS Sync from the Asus Website
install it
Then uninstall asus sync (it screws things up) but keep the drivers or whatever the other thing it installs is
run debugfs.

Aw, I was hoping to avoid that. I'll give it a shot, though. Thanks!
Edit: Looks like it worked fine. For anyone else coming to this, just in case it's not clear, installing ASUS Sync installs three additional things: Adobe Air, MSXML, and USB drivers. Obviously the drivers are the important part. I never plugged the TF700T in while Sync was installed; I immediately uninstalled it (and Air and MSXML, but those shouldn't matter). Then I plugged my tablet in and it was detected just fine (as ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T, rather than ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface, so that matches rico's report).
Thanks again, GrimSage!
Edit again: I was worried that I'd screwed something up, but apparently I just had to actually run the Superuser app before su would work. Yay, I'm rooted and can install Arch Linux.
I cannot get my pc to reconise my pad so i can transfer files as a usb storage device this has all happened since i wiped the pad so i could start from afresh. I have tried the asus drivers off her and asus sync and pc suite but it just does not reconised. It shows android adb device in device manager thats it. this is driving me crazy

Did you check the setting: "Settings->Storage->USB computer connection"?
