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

ouch, didn't think about that.
So I guess I got two options?
1. Pay Asus for fixing my tab
2. Trying to live with the laggy stock...
Thnx anyways!
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.

I'm quite confused with this one. Here's what's happened so far.
I was on AOKP Build 31 with CWM touch 5.8.2.1 and decided I want to go back to stock and start fresh. I found a mostly stock 9.2.1.17 from a thread in XDA titled "[ROM] TF101 Rooted Stock 9.2.1.17 + bootloader + modded recovery US and WW" (sorry, can't post links). I downloaded, checked the MD5, made a nandroid, wiped data/cache/Dalvik and installed the ROM. After doing that, I have been unable to get my device to connect to any computer via USB. I tried restoring my backup and also re-flashing a fresh copy of AOKP Build 31. I am able, however, to connect via ADB using TCP/IP. When I plug the device into my Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit I don't get any sort of notification or sound. When I plug the device into my Ubuntu 11.10, 64 bit I also don't have a connection showing up using the 'sudo lsusb' command. The strangest thing is that when I plug the device in the screen turns on, so clearly the USB cable is not the cause. I've tried two different Win. 7 computers, my Ubuntu box and a Fedora box (and multiple USB ports on each computer). Any suggestions?
Try this, Settings> Storage> hit the 3 dots sign at top right corner, hit USB computer connection,
Un check the MTP box and check it again. If that don't work try turning off USB debugging

Tried that on one of the Win. 7 boxes and the Ubuntu box, no success.
Have you tried reinstalling the drivers? I had to do that when I went from stock to custom rom.
This happens a lot. Something to do with the bootloader not getting flashed properly or something.
Get the full ICS ROM from Asus website and flash it.

You can root it (rather painfully and obscurely) by using an update.zip with the version of the firmware Razorclaw needs to work, and root in tablet and then flash in tablet. Downgrading to the required honeycomb might fix the usb too. I've never had to use ADB to do anything on my tf, aside from developing

Ive rooted a bajillion devioces and never thought to look there when my tf101 stopped connecting, ive rebooted my pc and it a hundred times
Thanks for the DOH! moment !!
Long time listener. First time caller.
I have an issue. My tf101 lost the ability to transfer data about week ago. Meaning, its not detectable by computers or any usb device
The tablet was rooted but i returned to stock in an effort to fix the problem and lost root.
I have tried:
3 cables
4 PC's
1 linux box
The tablet charges fine and even trickle charges from usb ports
I narrowed down the problem to a partially corrupt bootloader. Or simply a bad flash(team rouges rec and revolution rom)
I think i may be able to fix the problem by flashing ClockWork recovery, but i need to get root access. Any ideas or am i just screwed?
So im screwed right?

No, you're not "screwed" You could always just download an over-wifi file transfer app. I'm not sure what the best ones are on the Play Store, but I'd do you research if you're gonna drop a couple bucks on one. I haven't bothered since my Skyrocket is Samsung and I already get Kies Air.
I would suggest after flashing ClockWork recovery trying out some other ROMs and kernels and seeing if that fixes your problem. I would also highly suggest Team Win Recovery Project. It's been my favorite recovery so far, not to mention the touch screen interface is fantastic.

I assume you can still get into APX mode? If so, I would try running this. It's what I initially used to root my TF101, and it doesn't require you to use your installed recovery. Basically it roots and installs CWM recovery from a script run from your computer. Let me know what happens.

Yes, the tab can go into apx mode, but the computer wouldnt know if it was in apx. Pc doesn't know the tab exists when plugged in.

Well, I'm assuming that this is no longer on stock firmware and/or too old to be still under warrantee. The only thing I can think of, unless someone else here can give you an answer, is that it may be a hardware problem and you'd have to send it in to ASUS to get it fixed.....

I just rooted my A510 and ever since my laptop won't recognize my tablet. What can I do? I've tried factory reset, as well as flashing cm10/other roms. I downloaded the os from the acer website but don't know how to flash. Can anyone help me out?
Recovery= cwm
rom = cm10 unofficial
Update I was able to flash back to stock with unlocked bootloader and recovery from the acer website. But still I cannot get any computer to recognize my tablet. I have also lost root. What can I do now? Charging works perfectly so micro usb slot is not messed up.
Did you try another USB Cable ? another PC ?
What's no working ? MTP ? USB Mass Storage ? ADB ? Fastboot ?
Yes I've tried different USB and computers. The problem is that the computer won't recognize tablet in any mode. I'm currently on stock recovery with stock ww jb. I have us version of the tablet. Also update. zip not working in stock recovery. Idk if this is related but this problem occurred after unlocking boot loader also cwm would not mount ext SD. Boot loader is still unlocked. Maybe locking again will fix?
Edit: When in fastboot mode I am able to get usb device not recognized error in windows but have not been able to get it to recognize the device. I have tried pointing driver to acer official drivers but windows rejects these drivers. Device shows up as unrecognized device under device manager in windows and tablet fastboot mode.
Edit2: Windows gives same usb device not recognized error as in fastboot when plugging in using debug mode. Still no solution to this problem.
anybody know how I can fix this? Maybe flashing bootloader again can fix problem? Someone please help!

This sounds more like a Windows issue. What version of Windows? The Acer drivers only support Win XP or 7. If you load the Android SDK, those drivers can be made to work. If the USB on the tab recognizes a flash drive, I say look at Windows to resolve.
Also, I believe that once the bootloader is unlocked, it cannot be locked. It maybe can be replaced with a locked one using the fastboot flash command.
Acer Drivers are compatible with Windows 8 x64 (I'm using it)

How would I do that? ADB doesn't recognize the device neither does fastboot. Idk if it is a windows problem since I have tried updating drivers over and over again. I get an error returned saying usb device not recognized. Also I'm having trouble flashing in stock recovery. I put update.zip on root of sd card and external sd but nothing works. External sd doesn't show in recovery.
I'm now having trouble getting the pc to recognize the tablet at all.

I would suggest making a Linux thumb drive (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows). You don't have to futz with drivers as much in Linux. All ADB and Fastboot commands are available. I used it for my phone and my TF101. An old 2GB USB will suffice.
Any utilities, files, etc. can be placed on the stick for use, as well.
so basically I should boot my computer using a usb drive then connect my tablet to another usb port correct? Also I'm starting to think my usb drivers in the tablet itself are messed up from trying to root. How would I fix that? But I will try what you said first. Thanks
Btw I am unrooted now cuz I flashed Acers stock firmware but it didn't lock bootloader which is weird.
I have tried using the usb stick to boot into linux but that would not recognize my tablet as well. My phone was recognized immediately but my tablet was not. The tablet won't even recognize that a usb is connected when it is connected to the computer, but shows charging when connected to charger. Again I think the usb drivers in the tablet itself are messed up. What can I do?
Do you guys think I could possibly do something in APX mode? Seems like it may be my only hope
anybody?

If you still have the USB adapter, try connecting a USB stick to the tablet. If the tablet mounts the stick and you can view files, then there is most likely nothing wrong with the tablet USB. If not, then Acer may still be able to help with a warranty claim. I bought the extended warranty w/ mine.
As I stated earlier, once the bootloader is unlocked, it can't be locked... perhaps replaced, but not locked.
If the USB functions, boot to the Linux stick and run ADB usb.
then plug in the device to see what happens...
Pretty much all you can do in APX is flash the factory image. that's the most primitive state for android devices...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/APX_mode
You would still need a functioning USB port.
Hope this helps.

Sounds like a hardware or physical problem. Inspect the contacts on the USB for an obstruction or a misaligned contact. There are 5 contacts on my A700. I would power down before messing with it. Also, check for a loose socket... you did say that the charger works, though.

Yea the charger works perfectly fine so I don't think that is the problem. It may be usb drivers in the bootloader or something cuz this problem started right after I unlocked the bootloader.
I contacted Acer and they said my tablet is out of warranty and to fix it it'll cause $250. Is there anything else I could try?

I really don't believe the USB driver was changed when you unlocked the boot-loader. If you replaced the Kernel, that would more likely. This is resolvable by replacing the kernel with stock...doable if you can flash from recovery.
Again, I say inspect the USB contacts. they are really tiny and delicate. If one is crossing another, this can cause your issues. They can be straightened with a lot of patience.
It would be very hard to find the USB port for sale as it is unique to Acer... with the 12VDC capability.
Thanks I will carefully look at the pretty itself. I did not change the kernel before the problem started occurring but did flash cm10'1 to see if that would fix problem amd it didn't. Thank you very much for all of your help!

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.

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.

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.

Thanks...I'll look more carefully into this...I'm only afraid that my charging plug is damaged and that's why the pc doesn't recognised it...I'm not sure tough...if this is the case dock or usb adapters won't be helpfull at all right?

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.
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.

Did you freeze or disable your system apps by any chance?

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.
