Help unbrick B70+ Device device

Hi guys,
I installed that stupid Rom Manager and ****ed up my CWM. I needed to force coldboot to start my ROM.
Thats why I install a stock ROM from CWM and since then I cant start my transformer anymore. All thats starting is this god damn CWM over and over again.
I tried to using NV Flash, but I cant install the ADB drivers. My device is not recognized as a ADB device, but unknow device. I tried to download 3 different ADB drivers, but no luck. Also I think the device is suppose to beep when going into ADB mode, but mine doesnt.
I can still access CWM and have a stock rom and recovery on it, but installing them doesnt do jack,
Some links I tried that look promising but didnt help.

maybe are dumb questions but:
is your sbk, the 1st or the 2nd version?
are you sure you've used the correct version of nvflash for your sbk?
have you tried to install usb driver simply from the asus website?

Tried both and they will tell me they cant find my transformer. The asus drivers are installed, before I bricked the phone I could copy files on it. But now it will only show as unknown usb device and I cant install a driver for it.

Listen since your tablet is B70 use 1st method... also "easy flash" has a link to a driver called "universal naked driver" use it... then try rooting.. should work fine

Could you be more specific about installing the custom firmware doesn't work? Did you wipe everything completely beforehand?
What did NVFlash tell you? Are you sure you really are in APX mode?

What you mean by "it doesn't recognize the driver" ? You should remove existing drivers from your laptop and install naked drivers... read the steps properly.... its pretty easy

I was trying to install the stock rom/recovery. did a complete wipe before. always works like charm when i do that on my phone.
NV Flash tells me that it doesn't recognize the phone. I am not sure if I am in APX mode. I read only that the tablet should make a sound, which it doesn't for me. When I press power+up windows is trying to install a driver though, so I am in some kind of mode.

Windows doesnt allow me to install the drivers for apx when Iam navigating to the driver folder. Tried serveral sources including the naked drivers.
Not so confident that removing drivers will help anything since I wasnt able to install a driver in the first place. I will browse my hardware list and see if there are some things that I can remove and try reinsalling.

Ok I attachted my transformer to my laptop and that one didnt have any drivers installed. I started the transformer with pressing the up+power button and windows installed a unknown usb device, without any possibility to select a driver. I tried to install the naked driver 0.7 from ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875 ) without any success.
Also wheeli shows an connection error v1 or v2.
See attachted Screenshots.
Anyone with a solution to flash stock rom ? or any rom.

[Q] Can't unroot: ADB doesn't work in bootloader mode, but works in debug mode

The phone is unlocked, with clockworkmod recovery 6.0.1.0 and stock rooted 4.1.1 ROM.
I'm using Windows 7 x64 SP1.
When the phone is ON and the debug mode is activated, it shows correctly under "device manager" and adb works right, but when I reboot in bootloader ADB doesn't see any attached device even if it shows correctly under device manager.
I tried to update the USB driver of the Android SDK but dosn't work
I then uninstalled it and tried to install the Universal Naked Driver (almost all of the nexus or samsung types) but doesn't work
I uninstaleld it and tried another USB driver found on the forum but doesn't work.
I tried to install Android SDK on another PC with Windows 7 x86 SP1 and repeat all the steps but it's the same.
How can I unroot and lock the device if it doesn't shows when in bootloader mode?

You don't use adb in bootloader. You use fastboot.
Locking the bootloader does not unroot by the way.

Have you tried the Nexus Root Toolkit by WugFresh? It is an application that takes you in several easy steps in installing drivers, rooting, and lock/unlock your device. For installing drivers there are several additional steps when installing them seems unsuccessful.

This is true, I've used Wugfresh toolkit too but I had some problem...
I've Nexus S 9023, with wug toolkit I had no problem to install driver with its very complete guide, this part can solve your problem but make attention on other function, for example with it I've also unlocked my phone but when I tried to root my device freeze.
So maybe that not all toolkit function will work well on all Nexus S.

Please stop with this toolkit nonsense.
Its not a driver issue at this point. Its the user using ADB instead of fastboot.
Remove this and that when he is just using the wrong command. This is the nonsense you see when all people know is some toolkit.

Yeah, I'm an idiot, that was not a driver issue
it's just because I usually root/unroot/unlock/lock my android phones once in a while (when I first buy and when I sell them), so I always forget some basic procedures and searching through the forums is always a mess, I spent three hours doing that, before posting...
I had forgotten ADB and fastboot weren't the same... anyway, I solved with WugFresh (I didn't know it, thanks for the tip) but I could have solved even with plain fastboot commands, I know
Anyway, I'm surprised to realize that the real stock ROM is more stable than the rooted and deodexed stock ROM I was using before, now the 3G/2G/airplanemode swithing is blazing fast and the performance drops on some games are gone... I'll never figure out this Android world
Thanks for all your help :victory:

[Q] Issues With Rooting

I used to have a rooted EVO 4G through work, but recently they switched me over to an iSheep, and as you can imagine I absolutely hate it. And since it’s for work they’ve installed AirWatch so I can’t jailbreak it. But I also have a TF101 that's currently not rooted.
I got my TF101 about a year ago and rooted it like every good android user should. But after about 6 months, I found a small hair line crack in the touch screen. I unrooted it and sent it in to ASUS for them to repair. I always keep my tablet closed in the docking station when it wasn’t in use. I then found this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498237 that stated this is why the screen cracked. So ASUS and I went back and forth for about a month before they finally covered it under warranty and repaired my tablet.
When I got my tablet back I found they upgraded it to 9.2.1.27. I connected it to a computer so I could reroot it, but my tablet is no longer detected by a computer. I tried two computers and two data cables. I’ve also tried all the methods for installing the drivers. I didn’t want to send it back to ASUS due to the issues I previously had with them. I’ve been following Thing O Doom’s thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681155 because he stated he's working on a rooting apk, but he no longer has his TF101 so progress has been slow.
But in my searching I found this thread,http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...rmed-fix-gain-root-after-8-6-5-21-update.html that stated I can get the zip out of an old ASUS update and put that on my sdcard and let the tablet update itself to an older version. ASUS made an instruction sheet for manually updating with a zip, http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF101G/e6754_TF101_Update_SOP.pdf. Once downgraded I could use RazerClaw http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345049 to root, and then flash a recovery, rom, etc.
Will this method work? I have to believe no, it just seems too easy. I haven’t tried it yet because I worried about bricking my tablet and not being able to fix it since it won’t connect to a computer.
Any response, opinion, recommendation, experience would be greatly appreciated.

I am not sure that will work. It worked when you had 8.6.5.X because it was upgrading to a "newer" version that is 8.6.6.X (for the TF101G).
Now you are on a 9.X, so it most likely will not work.
Have you tried APX mode? I used that to root from the .27 firmware without having to downgrade. Turn off your tablet, hold VOL UP and then press the POWER button for about 3 seconds. The screen will be black, but when you plug it into a computer it should be detected.
If it does work, use EasyFlasher and install a custom recovery (HIGHLY recommend TWRP over CWM).

Thanks for the reply. I did try APX mode but I would get a message on both computers I tried stating the device was unrecognizable. I then tried to load the drivers but it still didn't work on either computer.

I guess you could try the other method. Since it is using stock recovery there is very little chance of bricking IMO. It will either install the older firmware, or it will not.

Just curious, did you reboot your PC after you installed/uninstalled the drivers?
I had this same problem once. What I did was pulled up Device Mgr and checked for APX drivers. If there was some, I uninstalled and Rebooted the PC. I downloaded these Universal Naked Drivers and saved them where I knew where they would be. I left the Device Mgr open and booted into APX mode. It asked to install drivers. I said yes and it failed. I then pointed it to the Naked Drivers and and it found them pretty easily. Once I saw APX pop up in Device Mgr, I was good to go. I then used EasyFlasher to flash back to .27 with Root. The link in the EasyFlasher OP for stock firmware is off for some reason. I posted the direct link near the last pages. Here it is.

You don't /need/ adb to root it this way, all you need is a terminal interface on your tablet. If you can download and unpack the zip file containing the blob for whatever recovery you wanna use, then link the mmcblk0p4 to tmp, you should be able to be good to go after a dd and reboot.
--edit--
start here: Instructions - Method 2 - UnRooted
then replace step two with "download terminal emulator from the play store"
then replace step three with 'open terminal emulator'
continue with the rest of the tut, using whatever recovery you want (i use Rogue XM)

I tried this and you're right it didn't install the older firmware. It looked like it was going to because the status bar was moving at the bottom, but after a few minutes it went to an android laying down with his guts open and a exclamation mark above him.

I think I've tried this. I have a terminal emulator installed and I followed some instructions about entering things like this in but I think I got a message stating access denied. But I'll try it again tonight and reply back with the results.

This weekend I tried to install the drivers again. I first went through the control panel and device manager and deleted anything that said android and asus, then rebooted my computer. I then tried to install PDANet because I read that it'll install the drivers needed and if you're having a problem it's an easy way to install them. During the PDANet install it told me to plug my transformer in to load the drivers. When I did it said it was installing new drivers but then it said they didn't install. My transformer came up as an unknown device in device manager.
I then went through and deleted the unknown device and checked in the control panel again, then rebooted my computer. I then put my tablet in APX mode to try and get it to load the drivers. Again it didn't install them and my transformer came up as an unknown device. I deleted the unknown device agian, rebooted, and went to ASUS website and installed ASUS Sync. When it finished I rebooted and then started ASUS Sync. Again when I connected my transformer to my computer it said it was loading the drivers, then it failed, and the computer showed my transformer as an unknown device. ASUS Sync also stated there was no device connected to it.
All the reading I've been doing, it seems like there are some other people experiencing the same issues I am, and I haven't seen where anybody has posted a solution. If anybody has any input please let me know.

I think I'm getting closer. I downloaded WLanAdb from the play store and followed the directions and downloaded the needed files to my computer. In the command prompt I type "WLanAdbTerminal devices" and my tablet will show in the list of devices. But WLanAdb is only setup to except a few commands, the main purpose of the app is for pushing files. It was the only wireless ADB app that I could find that didn't require root.
I then found SSHDroid in the play market and I downloaded putty to my computer. I connect to my computer using that. When I type "adb devices" I get a mesage that states
daemon not running. starting it now on port 5038
daemon started successfully
List of devices attached
I then left putty and went back to the command prompt and typed "adb connect (with my ip address and port from SSHDroid)" and it said it connected to that ip address and port. I then type "adb devices" and there are no devices listed.
Again I think I'm very close to getting my tablet connected wirelessly to adb. I think there is just one simply thing I'm missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'll continue to update this thread until my tablet is rooted or I reach a dead end, so this will be a reference for anybody experiencing the same issues as me.
Thanks in advance.

USB not recognized + no Recovery

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

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:

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.

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.

[Q] Cannot Install Drivers for Fastboot

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.
Device Details: ASUS tf700t, 10.6.1.14.8 firmware installed, unlocked, no root
Computer: Windows 7 x64

Are you using windows?
Did you try this?
Transformer Toolkit v2.0.1
Root your device with motochopper: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230763
and from the playstore download and install goomanager and from goomanager install TWRP.
Then from TWRP flash CROMi-X

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.
Try the drivers attached?

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.
