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 ?

You do have USB debugging enabled??
What happens if you boot with Power and Volume Down, then select the flashing RCK icon with Volume Up? No recovery???
no....
Yes USB debugng is checked, and i'm not able to get to the recovery while pressing Power and Volume Down, then select the RCK icon....
See the picture of what happen when i choose RCK

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 :/

If you know the name of the manufacturer of your device, please visit the manufacturer's website and look for driver software in the support section.
This is the error i get when i locate it to the drivers that i downloaded. I haved tried manny different drivers.

I've been reading and researching for weeks and have finally decided to unlock and install twrp recovery. I have successfully unlocked, but that is as far as I can get. For some reason, my win7 pc thinks my tf700 is a Samsung android phone. In the pc device manager, under Samsung android phone is where my asus adb interface device shows up. Clicking on properties of the Samsung phone does not produce any drivers to uninstall and uninstallation of the phone works, but reinstalls when I connect my tf700. So, I'm stuck. I'm wondering if I can use twrp manager from the playstore to install 10.6.1.14.8.zip to downgrade and then root, install twrp from goo manager ? Fastboot method of installing twrp has not worked for me either, I'm thinking because of the drivers issue. Any one have any thoughts of where I can go from here ? I'd really like to get a custom rom on my tablet.

Strange problem. Did you have the drivers for a Samsung phone installed prior?
It would be good if you could solve the driver issue - just so that you have fastboot access to your tab in the future.
Sure, you could downgrade to .8 and use Motochopper to root, then GooMangager to install TWRP (though I have never heard of TWRP manager to install stock firmware???), a quick search on the forums will give you the steps.
But to solve the driver issue, you may want to try to install the Universal Naked Drivers from Google, or install the Android SDK tool and through it the Platform Tools and drivers. I would prefer the latter.

yes, I rooted, twrp'd and installed bone stock on my vzw gs3.
I have used guides to install platform tools, put them in my PATH so I could use a cmd prompt from anywhere, plus I've tried to install the naked drivers and everytime I connect the tablet it goes through the installing drivers through windows update and and says my 700 is a Samsung phone. I uninstall the drivers, don't let it use windows update for drivers, and point it toward naked drivers folder (unzipped) and it doesn't install. says I still have a Samsung phone. click on Samsung phone in device manager and have asus adb interface under it. I must be missing something. maybe I'll redo my platform tools and see if maybe I missed an important step or typed something wrong. when I connect my 700 to the pc in fastboot, it isn't recognized. what should be happening ? what should I be seeing ?

Once connected in fastboot, if you type 'fastboot devices' (without the '), you should see the serial number of your tablet. Otherwise you see: No devices found or something to the effect.
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

Go to your system setting and select storage. Click the 3 dots in the upper right corner and tick the box which is Media device (MTP).. Good luck..

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:

In the Device Manager I have nothing under Portable Devices, but under USB devices it appears an Unrecognized USB Device and a bubble notifying about an unrecognized USB device keeps popping in the task bar. Even after installing ASUS Sync it is not detected.

You don't connect your tablet to the PC through the dock USB port, do you?? Just had that in another thread....
If you connect the tablet directly, I'm stumped. No idea why it's not recognized...

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.

Had the same problem.I fixed it by uninstalling the faulty usb device. Then disconnected the usb cable. Reconnected. And the drivers installed.

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.
I am attempting to flash TWRP so that I can root and flash Cromi X to my tablet. ADB works fine, restarts/reboots into recovery, recognizes device. Fastboot does NOT see my device, does NOT reboot, and I am left stuck at "waiting for device" when I attempt to flash TWRP while in fastboot. In addition, my computer recognizes the TF700 while it is in launcher, but when I boot it into the bootloader/flashboot mode it does not recognize my tablet. I have attempted multiple times in multiple locations on my computer to get it to install & use the android_WinUSB.inf driver, but it refuses. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers while the tablet is in on mutiple times. I don't know what else to do at this point; please help.

monecani's advice should work, although it would be good to have fastboot access to your tablet.
Weird - it seems the ADB drivers work but the fastboot drivers don't.

Well I had tried motochopper around 20x before (and sadly, I am not exaggerating there) without it working once, but I felt that I should at least give it one more shot before saying I couldn't use it and of course now that I had asked for help it does work. lol; the IT curse strikes again. Thanks for that, monecani.
The drivers, on the other hand, are not working. :/ Windows is letting me try to install them now at least (before it was telling me there was "no compatible drivers" when I was literally having it select the ASUS specific ADB USB drivers, or just telling me that it had determined that my usb drivers that were in no way functioning were completely up to date), but then it fails install and says "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". I was able to install the drivers you gave me when the device was in launcher, but they didn't help me in fastboot, and actually interfered with my device being recognized properly by anything. I had to roll back the drivers to run motochopper.
I kinda agree with you on fastboot being something I don't strictly need, but would still be a good idea for me to have access to. Plus, I'm that special kind of person who cannot let something just be broken. It drives me crazy to know that something's wrong, even if I almost never use it, or even never use it.
Hi u all!
First of all thank you for your time and sorry for my english, I speak spanish.
I have a nexus s i9023. I was using CyanogenMod 11 experimental 24042014.
I was having many problems and decided to downgrade to the stable version 10.1.2
It downloaded ok, installed all the updates, rebooted and then got stuck in the logo screen when booting.
The problem is that my nexus s has a broken the power button, it doesn't work.
As for right now the olny thing I can do is to enter the bootloader screen, but cant move throgh the options with the volume keys, it's like its stuck.
If I plug in the device when in the bootloader (fastboot mode) screen my PC doesn't recognice it, I search in the device manager but it doesn't appear.
If it helps when I plug in the battery the phone starts on in it's on.
Please, any help is appreciated.
Im really sad because I love my nexus.
Thank you!!!
Same here. Any help for us would be great. Thanks.

Seems like a driver issue. Can you try installing the drivers in a different system?
If it goes well, then use install cwm touch recovery from fastboot. You can take backup and flash new ROMs after that.
Try Nexus Root Toolkit to install drivers if you don't have access to a different system.

Don't I need to have android debugging enabled? If so, I don't think Nexus Root Toolkit will work. I flashed a ROM to my NS4g & I get boot loops. I flashed the wrong Gapps a few months ago.
I was hoping there would be a way to automatically turn android debugging on. I know it may sound dumb & also probably impossible.
Any other tips.
Tell me I'm screwed. Haha.

I disabled USB debugging. Rebooted to bootloader. Fired up 'fastboot devices' on cmd and could see my phone. This tells me that I do not need USB debugging on fastboot.
If you see an unknown device in Device Manager while in fastboot then use Universal Naked Driver to install the drivers. But since you don't, you'll need another PC to do this stuff. Once drivers are installed, you can do a 'fastboot reboot recovery' to get into recovery and fix the the problems. The first thing I advice is to flash a touch recovery. The rest is up to you.
Flash back the original soju firmware back onto your device by first using "nexus s root toolkit v.1.8.2 by wugfresh". It may take a little of your time downloading the roms and installing the drivers but trust me it should be working and your phone will boot into stock android 4.1.2. You can then root your device and install custom recovery as normal. Anything do pm me :laugh: ps, click the bricked option one the software is loaded up and remember to connect your device only and remove other phones from your computer
