[Q] cannot connect to bootloader

hi. i'm having problem in connecting my device in bootloader..
i used to be able to connect with PDAnet in bootloader without any problem, but now all i have is "connecting to your phone". I've downloaded the USB driver package from the sdk but still no luck..
any idea ?
*yes i search the XDA forum and try following the guides but i still have no luck*

have you tried the connection on another computer?
sometimes the computer USB ports tends to go crazy and wont work with the device no matter what
there's an utility (forgot the name) that lets you delete all the bugged USB associations in the PC
if you can find that, then you can try it as well

Anyone get Fastboot working successfuly on Surface Pro?

Hi, just received my Surface Pro yesterday and its amazing Anyways, I've been installing all my normal desktop applications as I would do with any other new PC. Today, I tried to install drivers for fastboot so I can flash custom kernels on my Xperia S. I managed to get the fastboot and ADB drivers installed correctly by disabling driver enforcement, but every time I connect my phone in fastboot mode to my Surface, Windows says the last USB device connected has malfunctioned.
I've read that other people are having problems with Windows 8 64bit and installing drivers, but I've managed to do that without problems
I've also read that you should plug your phone into a USB 2.0 port because it won't work with USB 3.0 ports yet but since the Surface Pro has only one USB 3.0 port, I haven't had the chance to try that.
I wonder if there is an adapter that changes USB 3 to USB 2? Maybe this could solve the problem?
Has anyone managed to get fastboot for any android phone working successfully on their Surface Pro?
Thanks in advance.

You could possibly try a USB 2.0 hub to degrade the USB 3 port to a USB 2 port.

Thanks for the reply, I've actually already tried that. It seems to me that Google need to update their SDK for USB 3.

I doubt that it is a USB 3.0 problem as I have USB 3.0 ports only on my laptop and have had fastboot working no problem, as well as adb for my nexus.
It sounds more like you are having driver problems and not usb port problems. I have not tried using fastboot yet on my win8 asus tablet but I should try that today.

Same thing on my Surface Pro. The problem lays in BOTH: the USB 3.0 driver and the Windows 8. There are tons of posts regarding not working many devices on USB 3.0 and Win8 (I'm not sure if it's only in x64 or x86 as well).
Anyway, I'm also stuck with not working fastboot (ADB works good). There is a tutorial how to install unsigned Intel driver but Microsoft's engineers geniuses didn't enabled USB keyboard in Startup Settings so I can't navigate and disable that specific option (I'm using 3rd party keyboard so I guess those morons punish me for that ).

[Q] ADB not connecting

Not sure when USB stopped working but nothing I've done let's my HTC One X (AT&T) connect via usb. I'm running CM10.1 and have tried both MTP and USB Storage and none of my PC's will see my phone.
I'm running TWRP 2.5, which I just updated today. When I boot into recovery and mount USB, my PC shows nothing. I boot the phone into recovery and the fastboot line says fastboot AC instead of fastboot USB. I've tried 3 different cables, an older cable that came with a MyTouch 4G, the HOX cable, and a generic USB cable. All three cables work with my wife's HOX, though hers is stock.
I've also tried on two different laptops (one vista, one win7), my PC (win7), even ran an Ubuntu VM on my PC and nothing.
HTC Sync Manager has been installed and is currently uninstalled though I do see the HTC Driver in Programs so it is there. Some times when I plug the phone in I get an error from Windows about the USB device not installing right. One odd thing is I don't see the device anywhere in device manager, nothing other Other, Android Devices or anything like that.
Developer options are turned on, with Android debugging, USB debugging notify turned on. Root access is set to Apps and ADB.
I've tried other things I've found such as turning the phone off and plugging it into the USB and letting windows detect that way. Pretty much at a loss at this point.

Helping a gentleman with the same issue in another thread, it sounds to me like a hardware issue.

Root without PC/USB

Hi,
Have a TF101 tablet here stock rom, stock recovery...
However it seems the USB will not detect on a windows PC tried multiple cables multiple PC's tried from recovery nothing is detected in device manager at all. Tablet doesn't even detect that its connected to PC either.
Is there anyway to root this thing without USB??? I need to root it so I can install recovery and flash another rom.
Thanks,

Which Windows version are you running?
If you use Win 7 and prior you should be able to connect with the universal naked drivers manually installed from device manager
Win 8 and above need driver signing disabled or they wont install the driver and the PC wont see the TF
If you have already tried the above, you might need a new cable

Thanks. Well i tried windows 7 x64 and windows 8 x64, neither showed any device or unknown device in device manager... Tried multiple cables as wel, no dice...
Shouldn't MTP work regardless of drivers installed in windows 7/8 ?

Are you putting the TF into APX mode?
Connect TF to PC USB > Power Off TF > Hold Power & Volume Up until the PC recognises it (Only takes a couple seconds, nothing appears on the TF screen) then install drivers
You need APX mode for Easyflasher
For normal media transfer, it will still need to install at least some USB type driver, as do all USB devices to function, possibly not the APX drivers
Check in Developer Options > USB Debugging mode
Try it enabled and disabled with the TF plugged in
But really the MTP drivers are not what you need if you want to root. you need APX mode to work (As above)

Doesn't seem to do anything when I hold power vol+, the screen of the tablet (blank/off) and on the pc nothing is being detected.
I can get to the bootloader/recovery via holding power vol- though. Also tried USB debugging mode... nothing is detected whatsoever... ordering another cable on ebay will see if that works but I doubt it since it seems to be a common issue with this tablet (port not working with pc)

I edited my post
Nothing will appear on the TF screen in APX mode until data transfer begins
The cheap non genuine cables are renowned for data connection failing, genuine cables are recommended
I still have my original cable and it still works 100%

Using the original cable, I still can't tell if its in APX mode, installed all the drivers provided by asus, nothing is detected in windows device manager. I'm 100% its not being detected ie. no connection. I ran easyflasher anyway both sbk1 and sbk2 says it flashed recovery but it never did still the stock recovery is on the tablet.
Will try again once the new cable comes in, thanks.

Forget the ASUS drivers, use the Universal ones from the Easyflasher thread
Here's what will happen when its working as intended
When you plug the TF into the PC, no matter what mode it is in, the PC should sound the USB connect sound
When you power off the TF, then put it in APX mode, the PC will again sound the USB connect noise, then it will fail to install the correct drivers
That's when you open Device Manager, find the ! missing driver ! exclamation mark, and update drivers manually pointing it to the extracted Universal drivers
Once you have installed them, then Easyflasher should work as normal
So unless you actually have a hardware fault on the TF, or the USB ports of the PC, Id hedge my bets on the cable
Have you tried a different PC?

Ok, well ya thats the thing no sound or detection of anything when plugging it in, or going into apx mode, rebooting etc...
I tried 2 cables and 2 different PCs. Will try a new cable but I betting that is won't work either... we'll see.
Thanks again

No need to bother with cables and drivers, just download Baidu Root: https://app.box.com/s/pyehf9fh4xem3hy50dot
EDIT: The app has built-in su access management, but I'd recommend installing SuperSU from the Play Store.
