So I am trying to see if I can figure out if I can take the game saves from one of the games I am playing on my phone and move them to my laptop and it seems like Helium will do the trick (I am NOT rooted). Anyway, I got it running fine on my GS3, but I can;t seem to get it to work on the tablet. It just gets stuck at the point where it is looking to be connected to my PC.
Is there something that I am missing?

Ok, I am MAD. This is unsolvable. I can't figure it out.
When I plug the Transformer into the PC, the PC won't detect it. It did a couple of days ago. I plugged it in to move some files over. It showed up as a drive before, but not anymore. The TF is brand new from Christmas, and it actually worked just fine Christmas day (I was able to transfer over some photos).
Two things happened between then and now that I can think of:
1. I used a System Restore to go back a few days because of a bluescreen issue that is unrelated and that I solved. It only went back literally one day, though.
2. I tried to delete some of the stock apps installed on the transformer. Not through root trickery or whatnot (I'm not even rooted or modified in any way). Just by going to the app market and trying to remove some crap (of course I couldn't).
I plug it in. Windows says "detecting driver," then it says it failed. USB debug mode is on. So I went into device manager. It shows up as "MTP Device" or maybe just "MTP," and Device manager gives it a question mark. So I went to Asus's site, downloaded the USB drivers, and installed those. No go. So I turned off Debug mode. No go. If I have debug mode on and plug it in and go to Windows Update, it shows an update for "Asus MTP Device" or something like that. I do the update and it gives me an error, saying the device is not connected. It is.
I've even installed the stupid Asus Sync Suite. It decided I wanted like five different startup programs. Revo Uninstaller made quick work of them, stupid bloatware.
So I've made no progress. Not sure why I could do it before, but I can't anymore. One thing that was weird when it WAS working was that my computer didn't get USB 2.0 transfer speeds from the device. Music copied agonizingly slow and my PC told me that "this device can perform faster if plugged into USB 2.0," even though all my ports are 2.0.
Currently, all that happens when I plug it in is Device Manager shows "MTP Device." HOWEVER, something interesting. When it's plugged in, the "safely remove hardware" icon shows up in the tray. If I click it, I see "Eee Pad Transformer." So the PC DOES detect the device, it just can't access its storage.
I'm on a Win7 PC that I built. I'm totally updated. The Eeepad is totally updated.
Oh, one last thing... I *might* have gone into the filesystem explorer app that came preinstalled to the device. I noticed that there were some folders from apps that I had installed but then uninstalled, and that bugged me, because if I uninstall a program I don't want that folder laying around. So I deleted some. But none were preinstalled apps. Things like Angry Birds, apps that I installed.
I read some thread in my google searches about something like UMDF or whatever. I tried that, but it seemed to only work for people with Vista or XP. The exe wouldn't even run on my system.
if anyone can figure this out, they'd have my eternal thanks.
You guys are awesome,

ps,
I read through this thread a bajillion times:
http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...ormer-manual-usb-drivers-sync-software-2.html
I tried the method used in post 12, which is what worked for the OP. It didn't work for me, either because that method doesn't work on Win7 or it doesn't work on a 64bit os.
My 727 recently took a leap 20 ft onto patio stones, screen/digitizer is completely fubar. I bought an S3 for 150 rather than buy another digitizer to fix it for 150.
im running CWM ( dont remember V, but 6.x i think)
had vincom's SUPERLITE ATT JB 4.1.2 running nicely
Most of my phone backs up to the cloud, so i dont have alot of stuff to get off the phone fortunately. But this happened while on vacation, so all my vaca pics and videos need to be retrieved along with a few other things. I have tried to get them via the android lost app ... and I am able to connect but it keeps timing out when i try to get the DCIM filed off, and ive seen no way to just download entire folders.
Kies was a complete waste of time, but i did try it
ODB was the last thing i tried but i havent had much luck (no luck) getting it to connect through the command prompt. it says ODB directory not found... i reinstalled the drivers...tried a few different downloads of ODB, and even got the whole SDK package. everything was extracted into my C:/
I have seen people say put it into recovery and take a backup from there, but havent seen much info on how to do that with zero screen. When i put it into recovery, a few times the USB recognizes the internal SD card but there is no content inside on the terminal end
Other info FWIW: i dont have a pin lock, TiBU is my backup of choice
Any ideas would be appreciated
Ok so I got stuck in a bootloop after applying a custom font in iFont. It requires a device restart, so thats what I did (which I have done many times before with no issues) and now I am in a bootloop. I don't seem to be able to get into stock recovery and I don't have a backup of my phone, either since I have the AT&T variant and custom recoveries aren't yet possible. Never had this happen before so I'm freaking out. How can I fix it?! preferably without losing all my ****. If there's a way. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks =]

I am downloading LG PC Suite right now to try to get rid of root and go back to complete stock. Hoping that solves the problem but I'm kind of confused as to how it would when a font through iFont caused the problem. Never had any problems with root or with xposed framework or anything else. It was a font. So not really sure how taking off root is going to solve anything =[
andddd... can't get a connection in the PC Suite to even do anything. Re downloaded drivers and everything but the computer isn't recognizing the Android MTP Device. Which makes sense.. So does the suite need that driver to work?, or is there another problem that is preventing it from recognizing my device?

Jesus Christ... nothing wants to work for me. Thank you for the link and advice. But my computer doesn't want to download the zip for the LG Flash tool that they have hosted on Mega. Want to make sure I'm getting the right flash tool so that everything works like it should. Is there another link to it somewhere else?
Just kidding. it was the browser. I was using Opera (don't ask). lol. I'm using firefox now and was able to get the files downloaded.
Couple more questions. I realized this computer is running Vista. I never use computers anymore so I don't really pay attention. haha. Could that possibly be the problem with the PC Suite? I've never used it before so I don't know if it would have worked before while my phone was working. However, I have plugged my phone into the computer before just to transfer files and whatnot and never had any problems with the drivers. But if that could possibly be the problem I have a laptop that has Windows 7 and it is downloading the PC Suite right now but it is taking FOREVER and for some reason keeps having network error issues and stopping the download so it is taking even longer. So the question is would it be worth it to wait for it and see what happens or should I just use the LGFlash method you posted above? Also with that method, will I lose all my data? I know it says at the end of the instructions to perform a factory reset through the settings menu once you get the phone back up and running, but at that point I would be able to save all of my data beforehand if it doesn't reset everything through the process. So does the process already reset everything?
I obviously have terrible luck with computers. lol. And phones, apparently. But mostly computers.

Yes, you will lose all your data after flashing back stock. That's why in the future it's important to make regular titanium backups and store your photos and media on an external sd card instead. I've never used the pc suite so I can't comment on that.

Thank you. I finally got fed up with the stupid PC Suite and used the LGFlash method. It was my last option so I didn't really have a choice. So I lost all my data. But luckily I haven't had the phone for too long. Only a couple months. So there wasn't too much to lose. I lost some pics and videos but memories are forever and photos are just mementos of the memories. So I'll get over it. Also lost all my hungry shark data. I had an almost fully maxed out Megaladon =[ lol. Oh well. Lesson for next time. I have Helium and a dropbox and I could have backed up all my pics just on my PC at some point, so I'm kicking myself for not doing that. But it's a lesson for next time. And this time I will definitely have the pictures save to SD instead. Thanks for the help, though!
Hello, I am seeking advice/help...
I can see by looking and reading some of your writings and posts that yours and others time is worth alot... I am not sure on how much I could spend as I have already lost funds and had my bank accounts hacked. However I will gladly see what I can do if someone can hopfully help me...
I have been without proper internet for well over a month now.. I have changed my wireless routers out twice even added in a AP(hardware firewall)... My internet provider also suppliea optik TV and that is all ran through the same router.
At first I noticed some new programs would appear, things would be moved around some things would go missing... it was very unnoticeable unless you were paying attention.
Then the windows start up acreen would freeze for 5 minutes sometimes almost as if somethinf had froze the screen so that I wouldn't be able to see whats happening(Basically started getting worse - passwords being changed on me etc... - would lose my elevated privledges almost as if I was just a guest account)...
I even tried using CMD in dos to get my permission settings back and at first this would work but then the dos/cmd commands(whoami / ICACLS / and a few other commands would not work and say they don't exist... I also started to notice the size of my harddrive change.. I was never able to get it back to the right amount of GB. I tried to restore it many different methods as well (win7, linux, dos) nothing worked.. I then also noticed the MBR would constantly become corrupt and same with the hard drive.
So I looked into things and figured it must be the bios or cmos.. I tried to flash it and just decided I would start from scratch... However, everytime the computer restarts the old cmos/bios is back. I then also found things saved on (A: , B: and X) ... They were all write protected so I decided to pull the hard drive out. They still showed up even if I had the hard drive removed.
** X: is the boot drive as well so every time I tried to reinstall anything a bunch of extra files would get installed as well**
**Drive B had a volume named RamDrive..**
I ran some system/ tests in dos on the memory and kept getting errors but would not tell me what the problem was I finally figured out that it was a system error because the range went higher(above the 4gb that it's supposed to be)..
Now 4 laptops ruined... I just got a new laptop (win8.1) was never used and had never been turned on and after the initial startup/setup had extra software etc and now is stuck in infiniti boot loop....
Also similar stuff has happend or is happening with fax/printer, pvr, tv, ipad, iPhone, Android, wii, ps3, ps4.. dvd player, basically all media devices and anything wireless..
I have seen lots of evidence on remote connections through IOT, P2P/PHP, IPv4, IPv6, ssl, http(local group/work group) now it seems like things are communicating through a technique called air hopping or coupling. (RF, NFC, WIFI, IR, GPS/GSM, RFID, Altel Bluetooth and a few others). **I can remove the wireless card and laptops still connect**
They even got into a desktop computer that has no wirelsss or bluetooth card... and never gets plugged into the internet. Odd internet type numbers started calling my house phone also my house phone if I unplugged it etc... then powered it back up and didn't set date or time it would reset itself... The play stations would turn on and off them self... I tried reformattibg and missing a huge amount of GB.
Also, money was taken out of bank account as well.... anyone who goes to where this all is happening there cell phones get infected tooo... it seems to update tbe phones in fhe form of a push update aka broadcast signal.. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated...
another thing i noticed was files like index.dat/index.ini... desktop.ini. doubles of everything in my registry... and the fonts i couldnt change or delete... i noticed files from other devices listed on my phones and vice versa for things listed on the computer... if this isnt the right place for this i apolohgize...
also it appears as if my phone is rooted.. judging by the files and folders that are on my phone but it says not rooted. there is apps installed that i didnt put there and cant remove without being rooted.. my phones are constantly connected. factory reset doesnt work anymore... Neither does wipe cache. also constantly streaming data even if data is off and airplane mode. i keep seeng something about a 299-amtel.. redirect in any and all browsers...lots of adware as well.
im not even sure i will be able to ge back on here... if not you can try emailing me [email protected]... i appreciate any and all help.. thank you and sorry for the grammer juat trying to type this as fast as possible.
Your MEANINGLESS title is discouraging people from helping you.
Please at least use a simple sentence to summarize your problem in your title.
Anyway from what you're saying, you should report to the police, or if you have some friend with network and PC knowledge, ask him for help.
Ok, so as the title says, I'm looking to completely undo having rooted my tablet, and all the customization I did to it, but I'm having a bit of trouble.
According to multiple apps my tablet is no longer rooted, and I got the stock rom from Sammobile flashed on it, and I have the stock recovery back, but I seem to be suffering from the wifi problem that CM suffers, I know this as I can connect to my 5G wifi as well, which I'm never able to do when the tablets wifi is working correctly, and also even connected I barely have any speed, if even any.
Now I know of the wifi fix you can flash through TWRP, but as I said, no more TWRP, and I don't want to reinstall it, I want everything back to stock.
Now, I know of Wifi Fix's for other tablets, like the Galaxy S4, that you can flash on with Odin, but I can't seem to find one like that for the Note Pro 12.2. So if anyone can send me a link I'd really appreciate it.
And also, I can't remember, but did the Note Pro 12.2 ever get anything higher then Android 5.0.2? Because I try to update it, and it says because my tablet was modified I can't do so. Plus Sammobile doesn't have higher then 5.0.2 but I read somewhere that it got 5.1.1 so I really don't know, any help on that front as well would be great.
Now, you may be wondering why I want to do this, in truth I'd rather have my tablet rooted, I save so much battery life getting rid of all the bloatware. But no matter what I do, there always ends up being a problem with my tablet.
I follow all the instructions given, I do exactly what everyone else does, even having someone walk me through it step by step once, and always it goes horribly wrong.
The first time my Nova Launcher would crash constantly, and then everything else would start crashing with it. Then the second time all my videos would play stuttering and jerky, and the audio would be out of sync horribly, and nothing I did would fix it. And now most recently, even though the tablet it connected to the computer, the drivers always fail installation, and even when they are successful, I'm still unable to actually access the tablet from my pc.
I read somewhere that it may be because I disabled Media Storage, but with Media Storage I have just as many problems, it drains my battery like crazy, it causes things to load up extremely slow when accessed through the computer, if a folder has a hundred files for example, it will take almost twenty minutes for them all to load up, and you can't do anything until they do, and if you try copying something into a folder without going into it you'll just be stuck in an endless loop of copying that never ends.
But without Media Storage everything loads up just as quickly as say an SD Card, so said 100 files only takes a few seconds.
And worse thing it caused, which troubled me for a long time before I found out what caused it, at random the media storage would decide to claim 20gb's of space, saying it was all taken up, when it isn't. And it would keep happening at random times, and at random sizes. Near the end it had taken up every bit of free space I had and didn't change back even after several days which is what led me to looking up what was causing that in the first place.
So as you can see, leaving Media Storage enabled is a big no for me. So as such I'm unable to root and customize my tablet for that reason as well.
Now, before you say how weird it is that I have such trouble, and how you have no idea why it would happen, there is a very key reason, Technology HATES me. Trust me, more often then not when I try to do something that works for literally everyone else it fails for me, like say connecting an Xbox controller and getting it to work on my pc. Yeah, never works even after almost 5 hours of trying. So yeah, technology hates, maybe even dispises me.
So anyway, if you can help me fix the wifi, and the update problem if that's possible, I'd really appreciate it.
Are you able to get it connected to a PC?
There are tutorials on how to go back to complete stock if you haven't tried Knox I might search for what people have done before they take the their device back to the carrier. Many people want to un-root before they give up their old devices.
