Did you try to plug a USB stick into the dock's USB port? You should be able to flash from there.
Not sure about TWRP as I am currently trying Phil'z recovery (though will go back probably).
If you want to try Phil'z you can flash that via fastboot from the bootloader screen (hold vol-down).
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Awww, a pity, the dock might have helped. Oh,well.
When you are in recovery, the tablet is not recognized by your PC? You should be able to use ADB in recovery.
Have you ever used ADB before? On Windows you might need to install the "USB naked drivers", just search for that (sorry, I am a Linux user).
If "adb devices" shows your serial number and "recovery", you can run "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard", of course replacing ROM.zip with the path to your favourite ROM. Then TWRP should find that file on the internal sdcard.

You should find an adb.exe somewhere, not sure where you can get a Windows version.
Better read up a little on how to use ADB under Windows, sorry again.
Once you have the adb.exe binary, you should be able to run the commands I gave in my last post.

As I understand it, you should install the naked drivers on your PC before plugging in your tablet. Installing the drivers on your PC does not require the device, but your PC should recognize the tablet once you have them installed. Maybe better to reboot the PC after installing the naked drivers, just to be on the safe side.
If the tablet is still not recognized, try another USB port or possibly another PC. If that won't work I am out of ideas, sorry. Never used ADB under Windows and under Linux it just works. Ahh, I remember people suggesting to run Linux in a VirtualBox and use ADB from there, might be a last resort. Maybe a Windows user looks into this thread and can help.

Weird, but sorry again, never tried myself under Windows.
Well, if you can't use ADB, can you use fastboot when you go into the bootloader menu (vol-down)?
In that case you could flash the original Asus ROM via fastboot: download, unzip twice to find the blob and use fastboot to flash that. Once you booted into that you can install recovery again and then flash your favourite ROM.
Otherwise... no adb, no fastboot, external sdcard in the slot won't work and no dock... hmm, can't think of any other options right now, sorry!

I think there are also USB adapters you can plug into the tablet without a dock, might be cheaper.
And don't despair. Another Windows user should be able to help you getting either adb or fastboot to work. Or do a little more research, there have been tips and discussions on that all over the forum. As a Linux user I just didn't pay too much attention.

Well, if the plug in the tablet is damaged, probably not, as they use the same plug. Might be your cable? A new USB/charging cable might help in that case. I also had a bad USB port in a PC once.
There are so many things involved, hardware and software. Hard to tell, where the bad link is.

Im on 2.5.0.0 TWRP, is that good ? And i have same problem as thread creator - PC didn´t recognize my tablet and i have installed android skd and adb utilities.
EDIT: microSD card works, i flash rom thanks to it. But iam scared when i restart and it wont work i didnt get back into recovery.
Thank god I made it. I formated only /sdcard data so i just install ROM from that folder and everything works properly.

Tablet not detected when connected via usb at all

I connect my tablet to my two laptops, one is win 8.1 and the other osx, neither shows any sign of knowing the tablet is connected at all.
it does not prompt me to instal any drivers, i dont see it in device manager though i could be missing it. definitely doesnt show up in file explorer as a drive. have tried switching from mtp to ptp and back again. I have no dea. The same cable when connected to the charger works fine, but no sign of life on a computer.
I'm trying to root it and get CM10 on there but this is stopping me in my tracks.
edit: i also just tried an older windows xp computer, no luck their either.

Bad cable?
Turn in USB debugging in developer options?

Tried both that I own. And it charges fine. Also tried connection the keyboard dock and then the cable to that. Out of ideas.
USB debugging has been enabled and disabled multiple times. Multiple reboots. I'm going to try rolling back the firmware from .10 to .8

You don't need to root it to install a custom ROM, you need to unlock the bootloader.

Well its successfully unlocked. But I'm like 99% sure I need root for goo manager to install twrp. Or USB to work to install twrp via fastboot.... No?

I wouldn't start installing custom anything without working fastboot and adb access.
- Make sure the contacts of the connector and cable are clean.
- Do the equivalent of "lsusb" under OSX to check if the tablet is detected.
- Try different USB ports.

Have tried five ports accross three computers on three operating systems. Two usb cables, and the use of the dock should have bypassed any dirty connections. I can try Ubuntu live boot tomorrow if it comes to that.

Sent it off to get fixed, they verified they had the same problem, waited weeks for a replacement part, they replaced it and sent it back. And its doing the samn damn thing. So done with this tablet.

No, and I would think a factory reset which I've done multiple times would have undone that even if I had on accident some way.

How do you connect the tablet to the PC? Always through the dock USB?
Do you have the same problem when connecting the tablet directly? Undock it, use the original cable to connect to different USB ports.

USB broken.. Can I root/flash recovery?

Hey all,
My USB broke i guess. I tried different cables and different computers, but nothing recognizes the device at all (not anything in device manager).
My TF700 is unlocked, so no warranty I want to flash a custom ROM, but my tablet isn't rooted and has stock ROM and recovery. Anything I can do or is my only option to get it fixed by asus?

Try cleaning the connector - at least it helped someone I know who even used an external battery charger for his phone for a few months because he thought USB was broken.

I tried this, but it doesn't seem to help. It's only the usb connection not working, I still can charge the tablet.
I've also tried my girls TF300 which works with all my cables and my computer, so I'm afraid it's the usb connector on my tablet.
But there is no way to get root acces or a custom recovery without usb?

You could try to downgrade to 10.6.1.14.8 by putting the firmware zip on a microSD card (there are guides about details how to name the zip that I don't remember right now), then you could root it with Motochopper, and then you can install a custom recovery using dd to mmcblk0p4 and rebooting.
The problem: No safety net. If something goes wrong in the process, the normal way to fix it is fastboot via USB - if your USB doesn't work, then the tablet would be bricked.

Motochopper won't work if there is absolutely no USB connection since you have to run it from your PC

This is probably a stupid suggestion but I'm good at making those, is there any way he could copy the required files to a micro SD then insert the card back into the tablet and then use a terminal emulator to update his recovery?

I think for rooting you need at least a shell with the "shell" user account (which has more privileges than a normal app), but the terminal emulator runs under its own app user account.

Broken Screen

Hello guys, my phone dropped today and half of the screen is not working anymore. Also the touch does not seem to work. The problem is I just want to copy my photos to my computer but i cant because of the phone is locked and it needs a pattern password to unlock. Is there anyway without replacing the screen to copy my photos or unlock the phone. Thank you.

Hi,
You can plug an OTG cable and plug in a mouse to work around the touch screen issue. Other possibility is trying to boot in recovery mode to manage the files via USB, though I'm not sure if it would allow you to access internal data using adb or not.
All the best,

Hey i do have the USB OTG and i plugged in a mouse to try to enable the adb debugging but the problem is that i can't see the screen so i am working blindly and trying to 'guess' where i should click.
The thing is i can unlock my phone with the fingerprint, but when i connect it to the computer the files do not show, i believe there is a button i have to click to enable MTP ?
I really can't believe its that hard to copy some files from my phone just because the screen is black

Hi,
Yes there is a button to enable MTP and it is in fact hard to enable it without looking at the screen. Have you tried booting in Recovery to access your files?

Black screen: blind OTG keyboard guide?

My Mix 3 has a completely black screen after I dropped it... . I'd like to recover some data from it. If someone has some time to write a "blind" guide for an OTG keyboard to enable debug usb it would be nice. I lost a lot of whatsapp messages and stupid me I was so sure to have the backup enabled.... :crying:
Hope someone will help me. Thanks.
Or can someone tell me how to unlock it with a keyboard if I'm using the pattern lock? Never noticed what you can do if you cannot use the pattern method.

Nope. Only solution was to repair the screen. Likely I paid about 130€ directly from Xiaomi official repair service.

Get the program 'scrcpy' off its GitHub, connect your phone to your PC with a USB cable, open a console in the scrcpy directory and connect to the phone with adb, then run scrcpy (from the console too). scrcpy will mirror the framebuffer to your PC and let you send inputs.
Of course, this only works if USB debugging is already turned on on the device.

The other option would be to boot into recovery and use ADB from there, this is fairly easy if you already have twrp installed. If your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash twrp and go from there.
By default iirc twrp won't mount the data partitions, so you will need to do that by issuing ADB shell commands, once done you can pull data out of whatever partition you want.
