So I have many many things I want to do with (Specifically) USB devices on my TF101. It's my baby and I use it for almost everything now, but there's still a few problems I haven't been able to shake or get other answers too.
I have a USB-MIDI cable that doesn't work (isn't detected, I think driver issue/isn't supported) Could I make a driver to do this so I can connect my keyboard to my tf and record some jams?
More Important
I have a USB - 3.5 mm converter/cable, usb in, headphone port out. It's by logitech and works fine on computer to plug any 3.5mm headphones into, not at all on android though. My headphone port is broken so this would be an amazing thing to get working properly.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated, even workarounds to get these things working.
Well actually when you are rooted, you can anything!
If nothing helps, you can write your own kernel module since you can compile yourself a custom kernel.
Therefore: yes, we can

Alright then step 1 is complete I suppose! xD I am rooted and running the tastymehICS kernel.
Gratz good luck for everything else - access to the whole system is open now!
In my opinion guvours kernel is a bit better (got less - not to say no - SoD).

I've tried both and guevor's seemed a bit more unstable for long periods of usage --just my preference, but that's beside the point xD"
So does anyone know how I could go about creating + adding drivers to the system?
You need download kernel source from asus site and prepare build environment according google andriod development site. Then you can build your kernel a start to add new features and write new kernel modules
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
I have windows drivers, all I'd need to do is port them, not necessarily write a whole new kernel X3
you don't need write whole kernel, source code for current stock kernel are on asus web site. And you don't have sources for guevor or other kernel. Is not possible to port windows driver to andriod without source code.
Try find if linux driver for you device exist. If yes, it is easy to add it to asus kerenel for transformer. And later is possible to combine your device driver (module) with some other custom kernel.
(I have working USB dvb-t stick on my transformer)
Thanks, I misread what I thought you read when I posted (if that makes any sense x.x")
Ok, it's plug and play on my linux machine too, where could I find the driver to import? So how would I make a module + combine with the guevor/tastymehics kernel?
ok, if your device is plug and play in linux, install any terminal emulation application into transformer (if you not have now) and use "lsusb" then plug your device into usb and use lsusb command again.
You should see something like BUS 001 Device 001: ID 1a4b:0003.
Then use google and try find what module is needed for device 1a4b:0003
then you need environment for building kernel and use some comamnd to build yout kernel module.
1) make menuconfig - choice module needed for your device
2) make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=mydroid/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.2.1/bin/arm-eabi- modules
this comple kernel modules for your device. Or you can ask for help from one of developer of custom kernel what you use to comile module what you need from his suource. Kernel and kernel modules musbe compiled from same version.
then copy modules to transformer and use insmod command to load it into kernel. Then you can plug in your device and it should work. (use dmesg to check if device driver is loaded)
Please post "dmesg" output after you plug your device in.(e.g last 10 lines) and output from lsusb.
Take a look in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513490
There is a lot of possibilities to play with usb drivers.

These are the log results asked for. I'm looking into the module now, thanks
At this point I have 4 options to fix my headphone port (that I know of)
1. Open it and try to sauter the port back together (best but, dangerous :/)
2. Get this driver stuff to work so I can use my adapter (great)
3. Bluetooth headphones (meh sound quality from my experience, but good if they work, also expensive)
4. HDMI-Out to Rca to 3.5mm to headphones. (UGH CABLES, but all I would need is the hdmi-rca cable.)
Ok,
I'm not new here but Im new with a TF101...
I have 3 rooted devices at home.
Now when I plug the TF that I bought used, it dosent get detected. I mean at all!
Not "!" yellow in windows and nothing it linux, no noise nothing.
I have usb dev checked...
Now, do I need usb 3.0 to just get it detected and root it using xp or linux???

Any way to root without computer?
I've been having the exact same problem for a few months now , I reckon i either have a faulty usb cable or the port has been damaged . I hope there's a software fix for this .

Ok and whant have you done to fix it?
New usb cable?
I've not managed to fix it yet . When i plug my TF into my pc it seems to think its charging but the pc doesn't register it at all , if i get a new usb cable and it works i'll report back .
Well does anyone know if this is a problem with the cable or not ?

I have the same problem. I sent my tf101 to the Asus service center to have it repaired. When it came back it would connect to the PC. After a few months it would not connect. Same problem. It appears to me to be software related somehow. In my case the cable has nothing to do with it. None of the suggestions on this or other forums work. Asus does not respond. Maybe Jelly Bean will fix it. Or maybe not.
are you able to ./adb connect to the asus via usb? if so then that will tell you that the problem is not the cable, it's not the usb version, it's not the device hardware. its likely a driver install issue in windows. i would boot into android and make sure that android debugging is selected in the developer settings menu. then try an adb connection. im not sure about how to install all the stupid drivers in windows because i do everything in linux and its soooooo much simpler.
f it is in fact the hardware cable or port that is not working properly then you can always move files to and from the device over wlan connection, with either adb tcp connection, or using some file manager such as es file explorer. just remember as long as you can get an
./adb connection to your android then anything is fixable. ADB IS YOUR FRIEND. get to know it well.
same problem here...tried everything except format the pc (running windows 7)
I have a simple question for the people WITHOUT problem connecting tf101: when you connect the tablet (mtp or not) what do you see on the screen of the pc? something related to autoplay? Are you able to copy, move files to and from the tf101 like a usb stick?

I dont ever connect my devices as mass storage to he computers at all. i just do everything via ./adb usb or ./adb tcp connections over wifi. or i use es file explorer setup as an ftp server on my devices and move files around that way if i need to. but i went ahead and pulled out my windows asus tf101 drivers and sync app and linked them for you at the bottom. my advice really is to lose windows and stick with doing everything on android with linux. soooo much better.

thank you for your long reply! and obv for the files, I'll give it a try!
I admit that sometimes I used swiftp (over wifi) but every time I have to disconnect pc & tablet from the modem...Sometimes use bluetooth but it's too too slow!!! thank you again!!!
I understand but how do you root using adb tcp???

when I rooted moths ago I used "razorclaw" (and my tf101 is a b70). I use adb with other devices and is very cool but I never need to use with the tf101...

ok so adb over a tcp connection it works pretty much like adb over usb except your connection is done over the network. so lets say your tf101 and your computer are both on the same WLAN. you can enable enable adb over tcp and connect to it with the computer over the network. however to enable adb tcp connections you need to already have root.
The Real Question when USB does not connect.

I have both Linux and Windows systems. My TF101 does not connect on either machine. My assumption is I have a internal problem. I have tried two different cables and systems. I need to ROOT the TF101 and upgrade to Jelly Bean. From this post I am told to use ./adb commands over tcp and I appreciate that, but I need to have a rooted TF101.
The ultimate question is can I root the TF101 without using the usb connector? I suspect not, but will defer to the expert developers.
I have tried with settings in various selections like MTP "yes" or "no", Developer USB "yes" or "no" or both on or off at the same time. I have loaded and unloaded Windows Asus Sync and USB drivers many times.
The strange thing is if I am attached to the keyboard, I can see any USB thumb drives attached to the keyboard including my USB serial adapter. I would think USB would not work if the cable does not work. Also if anyone has a link to instructions for loading ADB on Linux Mint 13 64bit, I would appreciate the link.
Thank you in advance.
beware of usb cable
Hi,I personnally own a TF101 sb50.
I had some trouble with usb. Tha cable was ok for charging but didn t register correctly under an usb connection ( it showed up and got kicked out in windows didn t register in lsusb on linux)
If you check the diagram for the cable, it s well endowed there 's resistance inside the cable, and multiple connection.
Depending on your version it doesn t use the same pin, even if it's the same cable.
You can buy a cable on ebay for around 10 euro in europe ( i did it s ok) or buy it cheaper from china(no idea about quality).
to sum it up even if your cable work with another TF, it doesn t mean your cable is not faulty ( i have bounce a nano osci on the faulty cable , and it showed no apparent flaw.) and buying a new one was the solution for me.
good luck for rooting (sb50 :: no need to adb)
The ADB thru WiFi solution worked perfectly for me thankfully, and I am one of the many others who have been having major trouble getting Windows and Linux to recognize the Intercept.
Not sure if this is a duplicate post somewhere, but here's my version using Linux:
1. Go to the Play Store and download the 'ADB over Wifi Widget' app.
2. After installed on your device, the app should be on your home screen. Tap it once to toggle on. You should see an IP address and a port #.
Note the IP address, as this is the address of your device.
3. Open a terminal in Linux.
4. CD to the folder that contains your ADB files. (example: cd /androidsdk/platform-tools)
5. Enter the following code:
chmod 755 ./adb
./adb connect <enter IP address here without brackets of course>
6. You should now be connected to your phone.
Hope this helps...

ok when you say that the tf101 doesnt connect in either your windows or linux machine, what do you mean exactly? you mean it doesnt show up as a mass storage device or an MTP device? and have you downloaded and installed the android-sdk in linux? and when you connect the tf101 to your linux machine, do yo uhave usb debugging enabled in the developer settings menu, and are you using the "./adb devices" command in the linux terminal from your /android-sdk/platform-tools/ directory?
also you should be able to flash a custom recovery which will enable you to flash custom rom without using the usb cable. theres a couple files that you need to put on your tf101 in the /sdcard/ directory first.
one is the recovery blob and if you want to keep the stock rom and kernel but just root it then youll need the superuser zip i have included both of them at the bottom.
for starters you need to install a terminal emulator app on the tf101 from the play store.
then once you have the recovery blob on your device in /sdcard/ you can continue. (remember /sdcard/ is the internal memory not the micro sd card)
start the terminal emulator on the tf101 and enter these commands.
mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
exit
(open another terminal window on the tf101 and enter these commands)
ln -s /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /data/local/tmp
exit
(now reboot the tf101 when it boots into android start the terminal emulator app again then enter these comands)
dd if=/sdcard/recoveryblob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
exit
(now you should have a team rogue recovery flashed to your tf101)
reboot your tf101.
now you can hold the vol -down button while you power on the tf101 you will see a message at the top of the screen that says soomething like "Checking for RCK" when you see that press the vol- up button right away, this should boot you into the team rogue recovery where you can flash custom roms or just flash your superuser.zip to get root.
hopefully this makes sense and hopefully it works for you.
remember you have to extract the recoveryblob from the zip folder before you move it to the /sdcard/ on your asus. the superuser.zip can remain zipped though.
I had the same problem:
windows will not notice my transformer (rooted).
( usb debugging is on, android 4.0.3 with Android Revolution HD 3.5.1.)
i know in the past it works.
adb list ( of devices) ist empty also. Same Problem with the two cables i have.
can you give me a help what i can do?
Sorry for my poor english
kind regards

need usb driver for accessing data on pc using usb cable.
If you have Windows 10, it should get them from the net automatically.
Otherwise, take a look here https://www.samsungusbdrivers.net/2016/12/samsung-galaxy-j7-usb-driver-for-windows.html
Hey all,
Long time no post.
I have an issue with my grandparents' Slate 21. The bootloader doesn't boot into OS. I'm no super tech nerd, but I have done Android reinstalls on Xiaomi Pocophone F1 and Samsung Galaxy S4 I-9505 with TWRP.
To install TWRP on the Slate 21, all you need is a male-to-male USB A cable and ADB.
My issue. I have downloaded many drivers (ADB&Fastboot, Google USB driver) and used methods such as
updating "Fastboot" driver software via device manager to a specific driver
manually installing drivers (Right-click -> Install)
switching USB ports
When I type in
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
or ANY
Code:
fastboot
command I always get
Code:
<waiting for any device>
. I have tried everything, so I came here as a last attempt. I will give any info you need because my grandpa needs this Slate.
Some info:
I installed ADB and Fastboot via the "15-second installer"
Fastboot loads correctly on the device itself
I cannot access Developer options because it doesn't load to OS
I use Windows 10
Love,
Nerijus
Simply installing drivers you don't know what they are meant for makes no sense at all, IMO:
Google's USB driver you installed is only applicable for Google devices ( e.g. Pixel, Nexus ).
You have to install the "Android USB Driver" suitable to mentioned phone.
BTW: To get the most accurate ADB & Fastboot drivers use my tool what is linked to in my signature.

If you say so ...
IMO your issue has nothing to do with of what type an USB port is.
The differences between USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 are
You can transfer data at up to 4.8 GBit/s with USB 3.0. That is ten times faster than with USB 2.0, which has a maximum of 480 MBit/s.
USB 3.0 works full-duplex. This means that data can be transferred in both directions. With USB 2.0, you can only transfer data in one direction at a time.
The maximum cable length with USB 3.0 is limited to 3 meters. USB 2.0 cables can be up to 5 meters long.
Never heard / read that ADB & Fastboot drivers depend on type of USB port.

My laptop's USB 3.0 ports completely failed to unlock Xiaomi Pocophone F1's bootloader. Meanwhile, my old PC did it easily on the first try and it has USB 2.0 ports. Weird. Might be the reason.
I am trying to install custom firmware on b760h stb. I have already installed mtk preloader drivers. But when I connect STB with laptop through USB A male to USB A male, it doesn't work. is there any way to connect it to the laptop.
first, Cek... USB Cable, does it work?
Second, Check if the usb driver is correct ?
Conect usb male to male in to usb 1 in the stb without power adaptor.
I am facing the same problem. I have checked the USB Male to Male cable. It works. I also installed the USB drivers for Window10. I connected the USB cable in USB1 Port of STB without power adapter. But still it doesnt work.
Any Help ???
