Hello Scotty,
I have an B60, so my version should be an SBK-1
Thanks for your reaction on my post!
I also can't push files ADB won't recognize my device.
I think the partion or something is also damaged.
The thing is definitly totally wiped!
I hope someone can help me.
APX should always work, unless there is a hardware defect.
Try these drivers. Try if possible with XP.
Then use easyflasher to install recovery or stock rom again.
Remember:
APX mode is just a black screen, but your PC will install drivers and see the device when you enter that mode
Hold Volume up & Power until the USB connect sound appears, now you are in APX mode - there will be nothing on the screen of the transformer until you are flashing a new ROM maybe
AND NEVER USE Rom Manager again on TF101!!

I know the APX modes. So that's one thing i am aware of. The strange thing is that wether i start up in the CWM revoverymodus, or APX, or try to COLD BOOT (hangs) or normal startup. In al was windows 7,8 and XP are telling me UNKNOWN DEVICE.
When I manually try to update drivers, the system won't except the drivers because the shouldn't be compatible?!?!?!?!?
So the naked drivers haven't worked!
If could only get in a working APX mode.... I could manage it from there, but that;s the major issue.
Is it possible that UBUNTU should recognize the tablet?? I could even install DOS or LINUX on a spare machine..... But then I won't have an USB support.

If you see unknown device in device manager, just point to the driver by hand.
Use XP.
A time ago I used Ubuntu ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso.
Driver was included because I could use nvflash in it. I made a backup with nvflash in Ubuntu. Don't know about later versions of ubuntu.
But first give a try in XP because then you can use easyflasher.
edit: I see you already did by hand.
Which driver you are pointing to ?
I have a nvflash.zip with driver included (usbpcdriver directory). You can also point to universal naked driver.
Have a read through this thread, if your tablet supports NVFlash it should work so long as there are no hardware issues
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270850
I did try to point them by hand, but it's not working.....
I'm using XP on a machine where the tablet was never been used on. So conflicts are also terminated by that.
I did lose my tablet's battery when I was formatting the /data partition. Could that also be the problem? (Dummy
)
This is DUTCH, but the fault is displayed in english.

Not for APX. APX should always work because it is in the hardware.
Did you use a usb 2.0 port on XP ?
Which drivers you are pointing to ?
(where are they are coming from)
You can give Ubuntu a try. You can use the live cd. Installing is not necessary.

Point to the main directory of the drivers, not to the i386 directory (just to be sure).

IS there an one click flasher for UBUNTU for SBK-machines????

First try this on Ubuntu
Then you know apx and nvflash will work.
After this you can try nvflash from here
You have to flash the SOS partition (=recovery). Get it from the easy flasher zip. It is also there.
I don't know if there is a one click flasher for linux. Maybe you can use this

Is unknown device gone when disconnect TF101 ?
(to make sure you looking at the right one)
Edit: did you also installed Asus Sync on XP ?
If yes, deinstall and try again with driver.
If not, install Asus sync and try again.
What I also did ( in XP):
- disconnect TF
- start TF in APX mode
- connect cable
(don't know if it is relevant but you can try)
With NVFLASH you must be sure what you are doing. I never restored with it.
I prefer the easyflasher method.

Hi GLS9,
Yes when I turn of the device, unknown device disapears!
I also did the connecting in your way.
I have also tried installing asus sync.... Also no succes!
I'm trying to connect within Ubuntu, but i can not instal pakages on the normal way as they are descriped in multiple threads.
Tomorrow or Monday i'll Will install Ubuntu in stead of running it from dvd. I will try further! For now i Will have to run! Thanks for your support till now.
Erik to fix unknown device, you have to uninstall it in device manager, then with tab reconnected and on, Windows will try to install the drivers automatically DO NOT ALLOW IT, cancel installation , then head back to device manager and manually install the naked drivers.
Steps
1. Tab is connected and displays unknown device
2. Uninstall unknown device from device manager
3. A reboot of the pc and turn the tablet off and then back on.
4. After reboot reconnect tablet, Windows will try to automatically install drivers " stop immediately " do not allow installation.
5. Go back to device manager and manually install naked driver.
It would be better to do this on Windows 7 if you have it, Windows 8 has driver enforcement which can be extra work to disable.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD
In device manager, try going to VIEW > SHOW HIDDEN DEVICES
That might solve your disappearing issue
But to force a driver install, instead of telling the update driver window to look in a folder, tell it you have the file on your PC and direct it exactly to that driver

What packages do you want to install ?
As I remember correctly, nothing is needed.
Would you like me to attempt to walk you through fixing it in windows?
I can use the teamviewer software to either take control of or direct you on where to click (RC or Meeting) and see if I can't help you get the drivers working. I had a tablet in a similar condition that I fixed in this manner for someone.
Pm or quote me if you want, otherwise continue with trying advice in this thread. I don't have much else to add reading through other than making sure the drivers are done right.

Hi, does anybody have any idea on how to root this? On their website they have an updater tool which says to get it into recovery you must push power and volume button only there is no volume button.. only physical button is a power button and then there is a reset hole in the back of the tablet. http://www.easypix.eu/smartpad750_en.html
I would like to at least root it and then see if there are any developers for this model.
Thanks.
I found a question from someone who has broken their same model tablet which was rooted, so it is possible.
You can get the proper windows drivers and connect to it through ADB. Using this method you can push clockwork mod touch, and the touch interface should work fine. You might have to use ADB terminals for keypresses as it starts though, I'm not sure how you would boot into recovery without a rom. But once in a rom, you can always select the reboot into recovery option.
do you have any guide for this, Im more just interesting in rooting it to start with. I think I figured out how to get it into some sort of recovery mode but windows wont let me install the recovery mode drivers so I cant do anything
bump
I just rooted it with unlockroot.com , It works for any tablet with the rockchip 2906 (Rk29).

It seems impossible for me, I installed the driver, now in the Windows device-manager you can find a "Class for rockusb devices" and there a "RK29 Device" but adb seems not fo find it.
While I see the device in my Windows device manager I pushed the Root-button from the unlockroot.com - tool, but after it tried to check via ADB there comes a popup "not detected any device ..."
Checking it with Ubuntu-Linux with the lsusb - command, this tablet has NO NAME, I can find the VendorID and the ModelID but after that, there is NOTHING , all other USB-Devices do have a name after its IDs, and trying to check via Davlik Debugging Monitor (ddms) you have to chose the name of your device,
but it is impossible to me, because I cannot chose NOTHING to use NOTHING with ADB ... has anybody an idea, how it may work, or has anybody a working ROM on his Easypix Smartpad EP750 which has root or at least a name ?
Maybe anybody has a working udev - entry for Linux ... pls post it here !!!
Under Windows I am able to flash the device with its own flashing-tool (RKBatchTool) but since now I did not find any ROM which I can flash instead of the original ROM - the latest I downloaded from Easypix-WebSite = 750_20120621 with Android 4.04 but no root-access,
I tried to flash a CM9, but the RKBatchTool told, that was no possible ROM for that device .....

While flashing the latest cromi rom, I wiped all the data on my device, even the operating system and rom files! I can get access to the TWRP, but can't do anything else. Any ideas of how to get an OS on it now?
Use adb to push the CROMi-X installation file into your device then install it from TWRP

Are you saying that with the card inserted and from the 'Install" page in TWRP you cannot select the microSD as a source?
By tapping the field where it probably shows your internal and navigating to it??
I tried to go through the install menu, it shows a list of folders, one is labeled external_sdcard, but nothing is in it. i have gone to the mount menu in twrp to see if I need to mount the microSD and it shows up there, but won't let me select it like I can the other items in the list: System, Cache, Data

Install the adb tool in your laptop (if you don't have it) with the drivers that I linked you before...
connect the device via usb to your laptop and run
Code:
adb push /path/to/local/file /mnt/sdcard/path/to/file
"/path/to/local/file" is where you have the CROMi-X zip file in your laptop

So, I am stuck trying to get the tablet recognized by adb. Any ideas how to get the asus android usb drivers recognized? The zip didn't contain an install program, so I had to go into device manager and point to the directory.

For me.. the right thing is to install ubuntu in dual boot with windows on your laptop and learn how to use it.
But, I know, this probably is not the right way for you!
But trust me.. the time that you know how to move the first steps in linux you gonna be very happy and proud!
For such things linux is the right way!

Hey everyone. Long time lurker, first time poster, and always grateful.
Okay, so I took a good look at some related threads. They all seem to have been resolved by using tools specific to their particular device. I have not had luck following their lines. So, here's what's up with me:
Asus Transformer Tf700 US edition
Had Cyanogen Mod. Wanted to sell my tablet, so I decided to wipe and go back to factory. Unfortunately, while fooling around in TWRP, I managed to putz it up and wipe the system and data. So no more OS, and apparently no more super user (whoops), although I may be wrong about that.
I can reboot the device into TWRP, but I can't mount the microsd card. When I plug my microsd card into my device, I just get an error that says cannot mount external sd card. So, since that isn't working, I've tried to sideload via adb.
I have the SDK but can't run ADB sideload because ADB on my computer does not recognize my device. I have tried to install updated drivers, though the drivers that I did find, when I point windows to the folder with them, it doesn't see a driver. SO maybe I'm doing that wrong.
I'm completely at my wit's end here. Can someone give me a little help?
Thanks everyone for your help in advance.

The CM version that I had, I actually don't recall now. I had flashed it back to stock though, before this, by using TWRP recovery. I noticed after that that I had not flashed my saved files properly. That's when I pooched it, hah.
I removed the existing USB drivers via device manager, restarted, used the installer that you linked to, restarted, and plugged in my device. It said installing drivers, and then failed to install drivers. ADB does not recognize a connected device. Merp.
I still haven't had any luck. Does anyone have any ideas?
You have to get the Windows drivers working to get ADB and fastboot access to your tablet and that can be tricky. Any chance you can get your hands on a Linux machine?
If the ADB tool I linked to didn't work (and I don't understand why - I used it on Win7 32 bit without a hitch) try to install the Google Universal Naked Drivers (google the term and should find them easily).
Actually - do you have the Asus device drivers installed? What happens if you connect the USB cable? Does Windows recognize the device at all? If not try to download Asus Sync, install it and try again. Once Windows recognizes the tablet as a MTP device, run the adb tool again and then try "adb devices" when you are booted into Android and "fastboot devices" when the tablet is in fastboot mode.

Hey, thanks for the reply. When I plug in the device, it tries to install drivers and almost immediately fails. It then shows in the device manager as shown in the attached file. When I right click, select update driver, and point it to the folder with the google naked drivers (or the asus drivers), it says that "Windows cannot find drivers for this device." This seems strange to me. It has no idea what the transformer is when it is plugged in. Is there a different manual method of installing drivers, or cuing windows to recognize that these are the correct drivers?
I had Asus Sync installed, and that didn't seem to do anything for me. Windows would not do anything differently than it had already done. Grrr. This hurts.

This method looks promising, but it requires one to go into Android and turn on USB debugging mode. Problem is: I have no OS to log in to in order to do so
Whoops, forgot screen shot
Jeez - this is frustrating. I'm running out of ideas how to get Windows to work...
You are running Windows with administrator rights - yes?
Consider installing Linux as a dual boot on your Windows machine. I did that just to get rid of these ADB/fastboot driver problems....

I'm running shy on space on my OS SSD, but would it potentially work running off of a boot disk? I have Fedora lying around here somewhere. Would the process be especially different? I have so very little experience working in Linux.
Also, I wonder if this is important. When I tell TWRP to reboot the machine, it informs me that super user isn't installed, and offers to root my device for me, but when I select that option, the screen just goes blank and it appears to hang, and I have to reboot it with the volume and power keys.

I have no idea if you can run adb or fastboot if you boot Linux off a boot disc - but what the heck? Why not try it at this point?
I do not understand your driver problems at all. I helped someone today with a lot of the same problems: The tablet only booted into recovery, TWRP would not mount the microSD, didn't see any files on the internal... The ADB tool I linked to earlier allowed him to adb reboot to the bootloader - the rest was a breeze... Something in your Windows setup is just effed up... Sorry - wish I had that magic wand...

Sure, if you have compatible adb and fastboot binaries it should work. Linux doesn't care where it was booted from.

I had to install the adb and fastboot binaries on my distro. You can't do that on Linux running off a disc - can you? You would have to find a distro that comes with them?

On some live distros you can install additional software to a ramdisk. For adb and fastboot, any live distro with 32 bit libraries should have the required libs so that you can just copy/download the binaries and run them.
So here is an interesting development: I am now able to see my micro SD card when it is plugged into my device. Why? I haven't the foggiest. However, I still can't see any of its contents. Curious....

Okay. I can't believe this worked, but I'm back in action. Here's how it went down:
- I tried doing a Linux USB drive, but was having difficulties getting it to boot, and my knowledge of Linux is so limited, I basically gave up hope.
- Today, I picked up my tablet (which has remained plugged in for power all of this time), and rebooted it. At the opening screen, which allows me to choose to go into TWRP, boot into (I think) Linux, or wipe data, I had never selected Wipe Data. Why? Because accidentally wiping the wrong partition is what got me in this mess to begin with.
- SO then I think, what the hell. It seems to have actually done something (though I don't know what), so I grab my micro SD with stock Android loaded on it, and pop it in. Voilà! It is recognized (as above).
- For some reason, no contents of card are visible
- Restarted device: card contents visible!
- Selected "Install" in TWRP menu, and selected my stock ROM
So. This has been a weird month. Thank you to EVERYONE who helped out on this. I'll be sure to hit the Thanks buttons!

Glad you got it working!
Out of curiosity: Was your tablet booted or completely off until you picked it up today? Did you reboot into the bootloader or did it do that by itself?

I found a way to install APX drivers in PC for TF700. As everbody, or almost everbody knows, these drivers are absolutely vital for the ones that want to run NVFlash to secure their TF700 in the best way against an eventual brick. As I experienced—and I know I am not the only—this adventure of APX drivers install causes a lot of trouble to people trying to figure out where are the drivers and how the install should be done.
Days ago, I posted these step-by-step instructions as a reply of a message about APX drivers. I am now posting it again at a separate topic, as this can be easier to find. The thing is that there's some "tricks" and "pitfalls" to the newbies like me when they try to install that Asus USB drivers. At first I couldn't install, I even thougt that they were not compatible with my Windows (I use Vista 32, that is famous as being really a ***** when comes up to install things). So, for ADB, in that moment I just gave up from Asus Android USB Drivers and installed Asus Pad PC Suite, that included ADB drivers, but apparently no APX. At that moment, when I was only looking for ADB, worked. But later, trying APX, I got really stucked. Just found the solution many sleepless nights later.
Please just notice that I am not an expert in anything: just a cat-crazy lady that works as text revisor and does patchwork quilts and amigurumi dolls at the free time. So, I'm afraid I can't help much on the technical side if any doubt appear (unless your doubt is about feeding an elder toothless cat with a bird syringe, syntax of verbs in Portuguese or about brands of wool and thimbles). Also can't assure this method will work for everyone.
Anyway, I'll be glad to help with the few I know. I hope these instructions can be of any use and save people from stress. Best wishes and happy APX'ing.
********************HOW TO INSTALL APX FOR TF700 IN WINDOWS************************
***One important warning I give to the stucked TF700 owners that are searching for APX drivers: DO NOT TRY TO USE UNIVERSAL NAKED DRIVERS! They will not work! Universal Naked Drivers are great, but made for TF101, Prime, Nexus, etc, etc, NOT for TF700 Infinity! So, any attempt to use that drivers, at the moment (March 2014) will give you nothing more than a last-longing splitting headache.
Use the pack from Asus: "Asus Android USB Drivers", download the pack from Asus website (go there, is one of the few downloads for Windows available for TF700)***
I'll just enumerate what I did and what I paid attention as necessary steps to install APX drivers for TF700 in Windows. If someone wants to give a try and follow them, there's the description.
1) Your device must be with the USB Debugging Mode enabled. This is found under Developer Options (enable it if Developer Options doesn't show by tapping 7 times the build number, under Settings/About).
2) Asus drivers dislike Windows auto-install. When we plug our device in USB (just normally, Android running), he is recognized and Windows auto-install prompts a message offering to locate and install drivers. IGNORE IT, SKIP IT. Just tell windows that will install later (there's an option for that, at least in Vista 32).
3) Then go to Control Panel, and choose "System". There, choose "Device Manager". There, look for something Asus, if you don't have previously installed any (if you have, uninstall it first, reboot the PC, then plug the tablet via USB). If you haven't installed anything and your tablet is connected, will appear something like "Asus ADB Interface", marked as not working by Windows.
4) Then, right-click over it and ask for "Update Driver". It will open a new prompt asking if you want Windows to search it automatically or if you want to search driver files manually from other sources. Say you want to search it manually. After, say you want to choose from drivers list (bottom option) and then say "Have Disk". And then direct Windows to search the driver in the directory where "Asus Android USB Drivers for Windows" are (uncompressed directory, please). The drivers file is the "android_winsub.inf", under the sub-directory "Android". Choose the file and proceed the installing.
5) This should install ADB. But, wait: the problem is the APX, not the ADB, right??? So, what does all this is for?
6) Now the magic (or, what so magically happened to me): reboot the tablet into APX Mode (power+volume up). And then another window of APX auto-install will pop. IGNORE IT.
7) Again, go to System/Device Manager. APX should appear there as "Asus Transformer Infinity APX Interface" or something fancy alike (if appear only "APX", something gone wrong and the installation already failed, at least here was this way). Is also marked as not working by Windows. You should again right-click and choose "Update Driver"
8) Repeat the process, if necessary direct Windows to the directory where the android_winsub.inf is (the one that was into the Asus Android USB Drivers pack). From this point my Windows installed automatically some parts, but, as I could notice, installed the driver from that same file of before.
This installed APX for me, and I could run wheelie and NVFlash!
So, I honestly hope this helps. I know it arrives too late for many, but still if can help somebody at least a little bit, I'll be happy.
Hello drhode, are you sure Universal Naked Drivers do not work? I remember very clearly that I used Universal Naked Drivers to run NVFlash and wheelie worked fine a few months ago. In fact, the guide for Flatline actually includes a link to a set of Universal Naked Driver 0.72, and I am very sure that I used that to get APX Driver.

There seem to be different versions of this driver pack in circulation. To see whether it works with the TF700, look into the .inf files for USB vendor and product IDs and compare with my udev rules for Linux. The vendor and product IDs are the same for Windows, and they should appear somewhere in the .inf file (for wheelie, at least the one for APX):
Code:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b05", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4c90", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660" # MTP (normal)
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b05", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4c91", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660" # MTP + USB Debugging (adb)
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b05", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4c92", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660" # RNDIS
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b05", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4c93", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660" # RNDIS + USB Debugging
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b05", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4c94", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660" # PTP
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b05", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4c95", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660" # PTP + USB Debugging
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b05", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4daf", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660" # Fastboot
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0955", ATTRS{idProduct}=="7030", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660" # Tegra APX
@drhode Can you please post the link where you found the drivers? Have been searching the Asus download site high and low and don't see them. Only found a zip on XDA and that only seems to have the ADB dirver.

So when I did the original unlock, root and flash of the CROMBi kit Kit ROM a short while ago, I followed all the instructions for it in the forum. Does this mean that I still need to install the APX drivers? IF I don't what am I missing?

Sorry by the delay, I'm back (got sick these days)
Hi, people: sorry for the delay. I got really sick these days (I am under treatment right now, getting better, enjoying the lovely painkillers to get a fine time to answer here. Perhaps the last exhibition of patchwork and quilting has been much of excitement to me ***the troubles of being an old lady, that's it...XDDD ***)
About Universal Naked Drivers: by some time it WERE some versions available, and one of them patched for TF700T. Thing is, that patched version is not available anymore: at NVFlash page of Android. Mobi team, the link leads nowhere. I don't know if there was some sort of unstability of sorts, but the truth is that version is not available anymore, at least I could not find it.
About Asus Android USB Drivers: besides I remember have taken the pack from Asus site, just checked it and there's nothing there now. I don't know if Asus pulled it to force us to use the Asus PC Suite instead or if I was just mistaken, but I found nothing this time.
BUT, THERE'S HOPE! And coming right here from XDA. I found a working link at this site to Asus Anroid USB Drivers zip pack. I downloaded now with XDA link and the file is of the same size of that I have, so I figure out that is the same.
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1245225&d=1344272324
I am at the tablet, comparing the file of the link with one in my tools memory card, but I'll check tomorrow/today if the files are really the same in my PC (need enjoy the painkillers to sleep too, so now I'll take a nap). If they are the same, I'll update my message with XDA link. If perhaps they are not the same, I'll upload the pack I have (and that's work) somewhere and post the link here.
And about APX...It's necessary to run NVFlash and wheelie, that grant a more trustworthy security to TF700T tablets ( these are for recovering the tablet after a softbrick). Install ROM, unlock, root, etc, is not done using APX, but the best recovery afer some tragedy, surely it is.
Again, friends, sorry about the delay in replying, I was needing some meds and rest. Best wishes to everbody.

There are two drivers for the tf700. The portable driver is for fastboot and adb. The second driver is for andriod usb which is for apx.. You can find the apx driver on the sdk website...

When you plug in your tf700, win recognizes it as a portable device so you can communicate with it. As the same time, there is an android driver that you can can configure for apx mode. Otherwise, you have to manually cofigure to apx when you want to use it... I believed that @drhode is trying to explain in her post...
My f2fs is still running great and looking for new stuff to play around with but it is not as convience as before because I can not test them without the tf700 next to me...
I think I'm more confused now than I was before I read this thread. I've checked every version of UND drivers I could find and none had the ids _that posted. None of the patched drivers seem to exist anymore. I'm hoping someone could be more specific about manually configuring the above linked drivers for apx mode in Windows. Failing that would it be possible/advisable to generate the NVFlash files using a Linux live usb key? I've been reading up on Linux for the past year but have yet to actually do anything with it. Many thanks to anybody taking the time.

I just want to share my experience with apx driver.
I was able to install apx driver when I boot into flatline's recovery first, and then install UDN 0.72 driver in windows.
I had trouble when I was following flatline's method for pulling blobs files with adb commands (no devices found).
My Asus Android USB Drivers didn't install apx driver for windows, so I used UDN 0.72 driver from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502
The zip file should contains "android_apxusb.inf". Open that file, the you should see similar text of what _that posted
" SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0955", ATTRS{idProduct}=="7030", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660" # Tegra APX "
From the file ->
" Asus Transformer Prime TF201 APX & ADB Interface
%AsusTransformerPrimeAPXInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7330 "
Follow OP drhode's unistall driver instruction for a clean start over (usb debug mode on).
"control panel -> device manager->asus android devices->right click on asus android....->uninstall->
a window prompt of unistall confimation, check the box of delete this device's driver->ok->
after unistalled, unplug tf700 usb connection to pc, restart windows.
after windows restart, Plug in normal booted tf700 and update the driver(either *.inf from UDN 0.72 or Asus Android USB Drivers)
Guide for win7 driver update
You can turn off driver signature check during the installation just incase some weird driver situation
Open cmd.exe type " bcdedit /set TESTSIGNING ON " and restart windows.
Reboot tf700 into flatline's recovery. If yellow ! appears in control panel, then update the driver again( w/*.inf from UDN 0.72 choose Prime).
Just restart windows after every driver install/uninstall.
It is just a regular driver update/install, nothing more special about it.
Btw, I'm using Win 7 64bit, so I'm not sure if that's the same instruction for windows 8.
I hope you can get it to work soon.
Hi all first off I'm sorry if this has been posted before but I'm having a problem unbricking an Asus transformer tf101 B60, I'll start with what's going on or not for that matter. lol
1. Boot to recovery is CWM-Based Recovery v5.5.0.4 roach-tf101-r2
2. will not see sd card / backup-restore= -2014-04-05.02.52.56 / no files found
3. Choose a zip = e: can't open /sdcard/update.zip
4.PC windows 7 pro 64 bit will not see the tablet when plugged into usb getting unrecognized device,force driver still getting yellow ding=device cannot start
if I plug in the usb and turn on the tablet windows does not even see that and unit sits on logo screen. and other screen the cold lynx boot that hangs there.
So in short I'm hitting a brick wall, windows won't see it, it won't see the SD card in recovery mode.
I've read in these posts how to fix this problem and have all the software / firmware you name it, but they all say almost the same thing, windows needs to see the device in order for any of these fixes to work, and thus is my wall I'm hitting.
Any help to find a solution to this problem would be oh so thankful to you all and call you Tablet Gods, this was a tablet given to me as a paper weight and I thought if it boots it can be fixed?
Thanks for your time and God like tablet knowledge.
Cheers.
Install the APX drivers (Universal Naked Drivers) and use the tool "Easyflasher" to flash TWRP recovery (Forget CWM) both from this link

You might need to install the APX drivers manually using Device Manager
If you find that the PC still does not see the TF101, you might need a new cable
Driver Not Working

I booted the unit into recover mode and windows sees unknown device..Ok
Tried to install new naked driver and getting a splash saying not compatible with windows 64 bit, I tried this on a brand new windows 7 pro 32 bit laptop and got the same results. I do have a brand new usb cable for it thinking that the old one was faulty, tried adb again same thing no device found, are there any commands in terminal emulator that can force the driver on the usb port? I'm thinking that if windows sees an unknown device then at least it sees something there just not whats there? Am i wrong in that somehow it's lost the usb firmware connection? so the driver will not install and if forced does not make the connection to the device? So this is my results.
So I'm ready to put gun in mouth over this, my laptops going to divorce me over driver abuse and the tablet mocks me with the frozen Asus logo.
Again Thanks for all the advice and i'll keep slugging it out.As this unit is in perfect condition outside of the Bricked part
You don't need to boot it into recovery mode to start with, just install the drivers normally first with the TF101 connected and booted normally
It's always going to say it can't find the device if the driver isn't installed
Focus on getting that APX driver installed and working, once you have that installed, Im pretty sure it will see the device fine
Asus TF101 B60 Softbrick? What Now?
Hello all.
I've been searching in vain for an answer to my Bricked Asus tf101? I'm just going to get right to the problem.
I can't get the tablet to be seen by windows 7 pro 64bit, Unknown device and yes I've tried everything, except asking if there's a way to force connection through a terminal like I've seen done with a router and a network switch to force a flash file so as to get at least a response after a reboot instead of just the Asus splash screen, here's a summary.
The Good.
1. I can boot to recovery CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4 roach-tf101-r2 with menu's
Bad: Does not see sd card only see's internal and there's no file or folder error for backup/restore
2.Boots to screen with 2 icons data wipe and linix cold boot and goes nowhere from there just hangs.
So I'm stuck here, I have all to tools to do the job only if windows would see it, Adb does not see device which means the same thing no driver no fix,
Everywhere I read it says do this and that and it will restore to factory, that would be great if windows saw the thing, so I'm looking for a way to get the tablet to boot to something other than a loop. also tried the put the E101_SDUPDATE.zip in the root of the SD card and restart, does not see the card or file or both so it's not loading the file?
1. windows 7 not seeing device, will not take force drivers, Universal-Nvidia-Asus- MTP
2. recovery does not see sd card, so can't flash new anything?
3. So no communication from SD/USB
4. Is there a terminal command I can use to force a Blob or flash a recovery to the tablet when drivers and USB don't respond?
And to top that off my laptop filed for divorce for driver abuse..lol I'm not giving up.
Thanks to you all,
I want to thank you all for your time and advice it is very much appreciated, and I'll keep slugging away because I know there's a fix out there.
Cheers.
Drivers need to be signed in 64bit windows, use 32bit Win 7 either on another machine or in VMWare or Virtualbox etc
Then the drivers should install
Thanks

Thanks for the Advice, Is there a thread outlining this so I can give it a try? I do have a new laptop I'm building out with windows 7 Pro 32bit as I've had so much trouble with the 64bit version.
If you're building a 32bit Win 7 laptop, then no need for virtual machines, just use that laptop, this is the Easyflasher thread, you should only need to follow the couple of simple instructions once you have 32bit Win 7 running
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
Basically in a nutshell:
1) Plug in TF101 to PC and make sure ADB debugging is enabled in Dev options on TF
2) Drivers will/should fail to install
3) Open Device manager
4) Right click the ! missing driver
5) Update driver > Point to extracted Universal Naked Drivers from Easyflasher thread
6) Drivers should install
7) Leave TF plugged into PC
8) Power TF off
9) Hold Volume Up & Power until the PC sounds the USB connect sound
10) TF is now in APX mode (Nothing on TF screen yet) drivers should install, check Device Manager, if it doesn't install, point it to the extracted Universal drivers folder again until they are installed
11) Follow instructions to use Easyflasher
12) Done

Need more info
What happens when you try to enter APX mode?
Which OS are you running on the PC?
Do the APX drivers install ?
etc etc etc

You're not going to be able to put the tablet into APX mode till you get the drivers installed correctly.
With the tablet connected to the computer and the tablet on, download the naked driver package. open up device manager and right click on Other Devices - APX and chose update driver. Chose browse and then go to where you downloaded the naked driver package. If it complains that they aren't signed, click install anyway. If successful, you should now be able to put your tablet in APX mode.
