I'm trying to transfer some mkv's over to the Xoom into the Movies folder. I'd like to try to play them in RockPlayer. However when I try to transfer the files, the prompt pops up saying the Xoom might not be able to play this type of file and do I want to continue. I hit continue and the transfer pops up but it never appears to transfer. Anyone have an issues like this?
Edit: I just tried transfering simple photo's over to the Xoom, I can't even transfer those. After waiting for the file to transfer it eventually pops up saying the device is either disconnected or unreadable.
There is a difference with WiFi vs.3G xoom. I had the Verizon version and returned it. purchased the wifi version today and noticed immediately that my app NBA game time doesn't work but it did on the Verizon version. Something is up but I can't say what was changed. GPS works but the app just closes when it is launched. So, stuck with watching the laker game on EVO.
Do you have the correct drivers installed?

yes, I made sure to reinstall them directly from motorolas website.
Well I think the problem was that I just used my HTC Micro USB cable since it was already plugged into the computer to transfer files to the Xoom. I started to think about it and since the HTC cable could be used to charge my EVO, perhaps it was the problem. I switched cables and it is now working without a hitch.
There is absolutely something odd and unique about the USB cable that comes with the 3G version. I can NOT use the one that came with my Nexus. Grrr.

Ugh. this is no better than having a proprietary cable...
I used my micro usb cable for my samsung captivate and it worked fine transferring files with the xoom.
I bought a 6ft Micro USB off of Monoprice and it works with my EVO and WiFi Xoom just fine.
I can mount the xoom wifi on my pc at work but can't mount it on my macbook pro. I have tried three different cables but no go. Is there something different for the mac other than plugging in?
You may have to fiddle with your settings in your system control panel... would be my guess for getting it working on a MacBook.
I used the micro usb from my thunderbolt and it works fine on my mac to xoom.. for mac, make sure you have the android file transfer software installed coz it wont recognize the xoom as an external drive.

I was having the same problem. I used the cable that came with the Xoom Wifi and everything is working now. Now i just have to make sure i don't get this cable mixed up with my other moto cables.
hi,
I can't download "android file transfer" from android.com in my country (weird google policy!). anyone knows an alternative or mirror link for download? I tried using VPN but somehow it detects I'm connecting from the same region!
thanks
I'm not really sure what that warning relates to. I can say that mkv playback on the zoom is pretty bad even using the handbrake profile that was floating around that creates flawless HD mp4s. With the same source I got audio outs within a few seconds on the mkvs and no problems with the mp4s. Avi files that had warnings played just fine.

same for me , i can hot swap usb mouse / xbox360 controller many times , 1'st time I connect a usb flash drive I can see contents it in astro , disconnect & re-connect no contents untill I restart ???
does tiamat 1.4.2 support hotswapping of usb drives ??
Lots of these topics floating around. All looks the same after u connect a file/drive u have to reboot. Kinda sucks. Mice/controllers/keyboard not effected. I wish a dev would pop in and just say yes u have to reboot all the time or there can be a solution or something.

Are you sure you got an host cable? Do any other devices work with it? Like a mouse or controller.

first let me say thankyou brd , every mod I have done has come from your posts.
I am quite diligent and read everything I can before I flash or mod and even post in the forum , but , is there something I could have missed that causes me problems hotswapping usb drives , I am at a loss . .
thanks
Just an update on the need to reboot to access usbOTG. I got my official USB adapter today from Motorola. I have hot swapped 5 different drivers and sticks and it reads every time. Even my 250gb WD portable hard drive.

@ hoola
so did you have a grey otg cable and got the same results as others and I have got , and now you have the official host cable as is well ? am I correct ?
also exactly what are you running , and the route you took to get there , i.e. my route was
uk 3.01 , one click, tiamat as they came out untill 1.4.0 > BRD's cwm flashed 3.1 update > tiamat 1.6ghz with usbmass storage (thats not working too well for me)
thanks
I had a grey/clear generic cAble. I rooted using another method on another site then *redid* it using brd method . I just tried using the generic cAble and it does not read after first swap until reboot. With moto cable it sees all devices . I switched out like 20 times in a row with 5 or so devices (USB , external, USB card reader, few sticks) and it reads every time.

Thank's hoola , have spent hours reading this and another forum just to get that info ,looks like i have found my problem , i need a "proper" otg cable (-:
Hi guys(this is my first android device so i might get my lingo wrong ),
Just got myself a TF101, its a B40(second-hand, was originally purchased around July here in Aus), played with it for a day or so, was trying to work out how to root it, tried the nachoroot ABD method but couldn't get it to work. Was able to push files across but it failed to create local.prop.
Decided i'd root it via nvflash when i got back and copied come TV shows onto the microSD via its windows MTP driver. Went away camping for a couple of days and so rigged a direct charge cable from my a cig' socket supplied from my second battery(so doesn't have issues of fluctuations while the car is starting or anything). Essentially just supplying +~12V to USB pin 1 and - to USB pin 4, was fused with a 5A fuse as i couldn't find something smaller that would fit. This worked well.
Got back today and the first thing i did was plug it into my PC, now i'm getting "USB device not recognised" - "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)".
I've tried this in 1 desktop and 2 laptops testing all USB ports both the laptops had fresh driver installs, the desktop have had bits and pieces installed but i tried to remove them and start a-fresh. Charging via the wall adapter works fine directly to the tablet or with the dock.
I've done both a cold reboot and a data wipe, neither of which had any effect. The tablet is current running the latest stock firmware(WW 8.6.5.21).
Idea's? Could it be the cable? Do we have a pin out for the proprietary end?
I have the EXACT same problem as you, i have a B60 tf101, was working fine this morning tried to root it via adb, 10 minutes lateri was getting code 43 on windows, tried everthing including factory data reset, software update, ive tried plugging it into 5 desktops, all on windows 7, no luck. Im thinking its a hardware error, should i RMA or is there a fix? Thanks
This might help you determine the Pin out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102049&highlight=diy
But i have never heard of this error before. If possible try another cable if a friend has a tf101 ect.

It's good to see that atleast it's not just me. Your situation sounds very similiar to what's happened with my TF.
I'm going to give the "downgrade" to 8.6.6.19 a shot as outlined here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417006
Okay, let me know how you get on. I'll let you know if I find a fix
Nup, doesn't have any effect on the problem. The upgrade works fine, but the USB still refuses to connect.

I'm using a geniune cable. Does your TF still charge via the cable when plugged into the wall pack? Mine does.
Now that i am able to root my device with Razerclaw because i dropped down to 8.6.6.19 i was thinking i might give that a shot and install CWM, then flash a custom ROM to see if that helped.
My only concern was being unable to unroot/re-stock it for RMA if that ends up being what's required. I found this guide: http://theunlockr.com/2011/11/28/how-to-unroot-and-remove-cwm-recovery-on-asus-transformer/
Can anyone confirm that those instructions will work for a B40 @ 8.6.6.19 or possibly custom ROM, to return to 8.6.5.21?

i think the problem is that the asus recovery application see`s 8.6.6.x as higher versioned than 8.6.5.x so it wont flash in the opposite direction.

Yes. The moving between versions i dont think will help with our USB issue as i think it almost has to be hardware in some way, either the cable or something internal.

Does your transformer work fine on the dock? Try docking the transformer then connecting it to USB through the dock.
I've requested an RMA, UPS is going to pick it up tomorrow and send it off to the Czech republic service centre, I'll let you know how it goes.

Nope, i've tried from both the dock and directly to the transformer both result in the same thing "unknown usb device" PID_0000&VID_0000.
Let me know how it goes, i'm going to order a new cable before i attempt to RMA mine.

I can't seem to anyone else who has this problem. My TF700 is working great. However, today I decided to bite the bullet and install CleanRom. After unlocking, I realized that my computer can no longer see the tablet via USB. It is not an unrecognized device, just nothing happens when I plug it in.
I have tried two different cables on 3 computers, so I believe the problem is with the tablet itself. It charges just fine and when I plug the cable into the computer or unplug, the screen comes on (just like when you plug in the charger), so something is getting recognized.
I don't see any physical damage to the port, it looks fine.
Anyone else ever seen this?
Thanks,
Chris
So it was working previously?

It was, not sure how long ago though. I know it was when I first got it. I'm guessing it is a hardware problem, but not sure what to do about it. I honesly don't care all that much about it, but I would love to get TWRP on it so I can flash roms. I haven't seen a way to get TWRP on it without the USB or GooManager, but I can't run GooManager because I don't have root yet.
Still trying to search to see if there is a way to get root without USB, but I haven't found anything....

Chris,
See if downloading and installing PC Suite from Asus helps.
That might get the drivers working again.
Are your PCs win7?
Just a thought. I am not running clean rom but when u connect to ur pc try going to settings, storage, and and hit the 3 little dots on the top right. It should show some usb connection tab.

Thanks, I'll try the software install, but since the computer doesn't even tell me I have an urecognized device (nothing in device manager), I'm not sure that it is. I also already rolled back to stock ICS and also tried the storage settings to no avail.
I unfortunately think I have a hardware problem. I guess I'm stuck at trying to get it repaired, or just live without the USB connection....which I guess ultimately means no customizations. I can still flash back to the stock Jelly Bean using the factory bootloader and rom from the Asus site, so I may have to live with that.
Could be the cable. Sadly, replacing it is ridiculously hard.

I wish it were. I have a second charger/cable and already tried both cables on different PCs. Uggh.
Connect the tablet to a PC running Linux and run lsusb to see if the tablet is recognized (the vendor ID is 0B05) - just to sidestep any possible Windows driver issues.
So I want to take the pictures off my phone and add some files to the sd card from my computer on my new S3.
I have installed the drivers (but not Kies) and when I plug in my phone, the phone beeps and starts charging but it doesn't show up on My Computer. On my old Rezound, I would get an option to charge only or data but it's not showing up on the S3.
Is there anything special I have to install for my computer to recognize the phone except for the drivers?
changed the cable, from my old one to the Samsung one and it now works

Does your kernel support USB fast charge? If so, it may be enabled.

If it's not the fast charging issue as mentioned above, its most likely your base OS. I was having mounting issues as well, especially on my Mac. The latest K1 JB leak fixed it. I believe the ICS HE release also fixes it.
