Bootloop, no apx access, no recovery - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, hope someone can help me out here.
My buddy has a bricked TF101, I told him I'd take a look at it (I fixed my brothers a year ago, it was no big deal).
Anyway, I can't install the naked driver for APX access, the device ID shows up as all 000000. There's no recovery to read the stock images off the sdcard either.
Any ideas?

If it will not allow you to install the APX drivers, most likely it is an issue with either driver signature verification if using Windows 8, or a bad cable.
I had a bad cable after 1.5 years of global travel. The cable still charged with the wall wart, but would not work via USB for APX, ADB, MTP or PTP.
New cable fixed it up in no time.
Here is how to disable the driver signature verification if you are running windows 8: http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/

I hadn't thought of that, I'll borrow my brothers later on today and see if I can get APX going. I'm on Win7 and driver signatures are off. Thanks

Unable to conect my tab to pc with legit asus cable.

Ics says nothing. JB says it charging lol.
With my usb data. It was connected succefully before. So i am clue less
Are you trying to connect to transfer files, sync outlook or issue ADB or APX commands?
Does your computer play the new hardware sound?
What OS is your computer running?
Do you have USB Debugging checked?
Have you tried another USB port on your computer?
Also, many of the JB ROMs show a charging indicator via USB even if it is not really charging.

NV Flash help

I'm getting really frustrated been at this thing for a few hours, I cannot install the naked drivers because Windows 7 says I have the most recent driver. Not having the naked driver has me stopped on the using wheelie to access NV Flash part because I cant get it into APX mode. Ive tried stopping windows from automatically installing drivers but it still installs it whenever I plug in the tablet. Has anyone had this issue that could help?

you're already in the step of booting in APX mode right?
1. Turn off your device and insert USB cable to your device only
2. Hold volume up then plug it to your computer and since you said you stop auto install driver it will now recognize that windows is unable to find driver for APX device and that's where you use the naked driver. after that you can execute the wheelie command and tada you're done!:good:

Root without PC/USB

Hi,
Have a TF101 tablet here stock rom, stock recovery...
However it seems the USB will not detect on a windows PC tried multiple cables multiple PC's tried from recovery nothing is detected in device manager at all. Tablet doesn't even detect that its connected to PC either.
Is there anyway to root this thing without USB??? I need to root it so I can install recovery and flash another rom.
Thanks,
Which Windows version are you running?
If you use Win 7 and prior you should be able to connect with the universal naked drivers manually installed from device manager
Win 8 and above need driver signing disabled or they wont install the driver and the PC wont see the TF
If you have already tried the above, you might need a new cable

Thanks. Well i tried windows 7 x64 and windows 8 x64, neither showed any device or unknown device in device manager... Tried multiple cables as wel, no dice...
Shouldn't MTP work regardless of drivers installed in windows 7/8 ?
Are you putting the TF into APX mode?
Connect TF to PC USB > Power Off TF > Hold Power & Volume Up until the PC recognises it (Only takes a couple seconds, nothing appears on the TF screen) then install drivers
You need APX mode for Easyflasher
For normal media transfer, it will still need to install at least some USB type driver, as do all USB devices to function, possibly not the APX drivers
Check in Developer Options > USB Debugging mode
Try it enabled and disabled with the TF plugged in
But really the MTP drivers are not what you need if you want to root. you need APX mode to work (As above)

Doesn't seem to do anything when I hold power vol+, the screen of the tablet (blank/off) and on the pc nothing is being detected.
I can get to the bootloader/recovery via holding power vol- though. Also tried USB debugging mode... nothing is detected whatsoever... ordering another cable on ebay will see if that works but I doubt it since it seems to be a common issue with this tablet (port not working with pc)
I edited my post
Nothing will appear on the TF screen in APX mode until data transfer begins
The cheap non genuine cables are renowned for data connection failing, genuine cables are recommended
I still have my original cable and it still works 100%

Using the original cable, I still can't tell if its in APX mode, installed all the drivers provided by asus, nothing is detected in windows device manager. I'm 100% its not being detected ie. no connection. I ran easyflasher anyway both sbk1 and sbk2 says it flashed recovery but it never did still the stock recovery is on the tablet.
Will try again once the new cable comes in, thanks.
Forget the ASUS drivers, use the Universal ones from the Easyflasher thread
Here's what will happen when its working as intended
When you plug the TF into the PC, no matter what mode it is in, the PC should sound the USB connect sound
When you power off the TF, then put it in APX mode, the PC will again sound the USB connect noise, then it will fail to install the correct drivers
That's when you open Device Manager, find the ! missing driver ! exclamation mark, and update drivers manually pointing it to the extracted Universal drivers
Once you have installed them, then Easyflasher should work as normal
So unless you actually have a hardware fault on the TF, or the USB ports of the PC, Id hedge my bets on the cable
Have you tried a different PC?

Ok, well ya thats the thing no sound or detection of anything when plugging it in, or going into apx mode, rebooting etc...
I tried 2 cables and 2 different PCs. Will try a new cable but I betting that is won't work either... we'll see.
Thanks again
No need to bother with cables and drivers, just download Baidu Root: https://app.box.com/s/pyehf9fh4xem3hy50dot
EDIT: The app has built-in su access management, but I'd recommend installing SuperSU from the Play Store.

OnePlus One not recognized in My Computer

I tried to access my phone's internal storage but the phone doesn't show in My Computer. The Portable Device in Device manager says MTP USB device and it has the yellow triangle on it. The Samsung driver is the Android Composite ADB Interface with no triangle. I have debugging on but the MTP device driver always fails whether debugging is on or not. I used Koush's drivers found here on XDA but same old thing. The Portable Device used to show up as A0001 and /or One but now it doesn't and I don't understand how that happened. Can someone enlighten me and perhaps solve this problem? It's been very frustrating as I just spent 13 hours trying to get my phone working (Thanks Heisenberg for fixing) and now another 6 trying to figure this out. Please HELP if you can. Thanks!

Even I had faced this problem on Windows 8. I had installed drivers 4-5 odd times. But later I just flashed CM11S zip via recovery and enabled USB Debugging Mode and it finally got recognized on my laptop.
I was facing many issues with all lollipop ROMs. Hence I reverted back and now everything is working fine.
I, too am using CM11s as Lollipop has too many bugs for me at this time. Maybe I'll try re-flashing CM and see what happens. Thanks for the reply
My question is: How can one flash from recovery when the file that needs to be flashed cannot be sent to the phone because it's not recognized by the computer?
Nevermind...I figured it out and flashed 11S successfully! Everything shows up now on computer. WOOT!

Bricked Phone USB not recognized by PC

Need help. I was using Miracle Box to flash stock ROM, I don't know how but the phone (Micromax E453) is bricked now. I tried to start phone in Meta Mode (swiched off phone connected to PC by holding volume up button), it worked once, then following some tutorials I uninstalled (and checked, Delete the driver software for this device) MTK USB COM driver under port. Since then phone is not turning on and PC is not recognizing the device. Tired changing the USB cable and even tried it on another laptop, but no go. Kindly share what else I can try. PC has Windows 10 64 bit and MTK preloader vcom driver always has yellow exclamation mark (always installs with error code 10). I have disabled driver signature verificiation.

Did you have USB debugging enabled in the device's system settings before it got bricked? If not, you might not get it to connect via USB and be recognized.

Thank you for your response. Yes, USB debugging was enabled before it got bricked. I was able to successfully see my device when I ran adb -devices command. I was also able to run fastboot commands. Now its completely dead.
