Hello all,
I picked up a used TF700T in good shape. Looks like some kid only used it to play Minecraft.
It pulled an OTA update to JB4.2.1, build .10
The goal is to put CROMBi-KK on there; I've read a bunch of the threads on the topic.
So first I tried to get the unlock tool on there...
-downloaded Unlock Tool V8 to PC, hooked up tablet via USB (USB debugging enabled, trusting unknown sources): no luck, getting the "USB device not recognized" error, PC keeps alternating the USB-connect&-disconnect sounds.
-Went ahead and downloaded Unlock Tool V8 straight to tablet. Getting "App not installed" error.
-Went and got Unlock Tool V7 instead, installed successfully - but now getting "network error" repeatedly...
-Read somewhere that signing in to Asus Tracker triggered unlock success for some, so I tried that: the Tracker website won't even take my serial number...
Obviously I am stuck early on - What do I do next?
What's the magic words to use with Asus support, can they even help me?
Asus support might be extra tricky because the previous owner may have registered the serial number...
Any obvious solution I am missing (I have used the forum search, but haven't found any new leads...)?
Do I just keep trying the Unlock tool V7 until the end of days?

Had the same problem; it's a common bug with tf700t: some serial numbers (only of tf700t) aren't registered in factory's servers.
I pulled a ticket with ASUS support (here in Germany), explaned the problem, sent them the MAC adress and S/N of my tab and got 3 days later notice, that my tab could be unlocked - and it worked, they registered tab in their korean servers.

Wow! That's the easiest resolution of that common problem I've ever heard of! Hope it goes just as well for him ^^
BTW, the servers are in Taiwan at HQ I believe

I thought, it was Taiwan, but was to lazy to look it up.
I did not invent this; it has been reported repeatedly in german boards.
Thanks again for the info guys!
I did as recommended, contacted support, telling them my serial number and MAC address. Got a response within ~36h saying they forwarded my request and the other department will take care of it in 10-15 days. So I am crossing my fingers for this to take care of the unlock issue.
I have been trying all sorts of stuff for the USB issue, no success so far. The person I got it from complained about the tablet not charging. Wondering if those two issues are related, I am suspecting a bad USB/charge port. Ordered a spare from ebay and will replace when it gets here next week. At this point (and not being the original owner), I am obviously not worried about warranty issues...

You're right as I usually am.
Hier muss wohl ein Nest sein!
I did get the spare USB ribbon&port on Saturday and replaced it. Unfortunately, that changed nothing;
I have also tried downgrading to V10.6.1.14.8 and even V10.4.4.25...
Same result, whenever I plug it into a PC (have tried different ones), it just says "USB device not recognized". When I select the "Unknown Device" under Devices&Printers, I don't even get the option of installing a different driver.
I have tried this with the Asus driver installed, then I tried with the 'naked' driver.
Tablet is in MTP mode; I have tried it with "USB debugging" disabled and enabled,nothing works.
Any ideas?
Tough, since you are not the original owner... The USB cable, I mean the external charging/data cable: Do you know if it is the original one?
May it be damaged as in : broken strands or some such?

Same result in any of the 3 modes: apx, fastboot, normal?
.... if it's not charging either, you should be soon at an end with the tablet.
@berndblb: I had to buy a new (external) USB/charging cable and wall charger. I bought the ASUS original one straight from them through Amazon.
@das chaos: not sure what you mean - can I still get to APX or fastboot even if the tablet is not recognized upon plugging in?
How would I go about doing that, install first the tool/driver and hope that it assigns drivers properly when I plug in? @sbdags recommended I take a look at this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2646279)...
In device manager, it does not show up with an exclamation point, but as an "unknown device"; The catch-22 with that is that Windows claims that the proper driver is installed and doesn't let me load a different driver. The connection is also a bit unstable, disconnecting&reconnecting after a few seconds (looks like an unstable USB stack...

If it is shown up in Windows manager, then it is recognized! Only there are not the right drivers installed. For each mode (apx, fastboot, adb) you need a separate driver installed, wich normally are packed together in naked driver pack.
Windows doesn't install drivers of ASUS by it's own. You have to engage forced driver install routine; and there is a warning not to install those drivers. Do it nevertheless otherwise you won't be able to connect to transformers.
Thanks for the link. I was already aware of how to force a driver.
I took some screenshots to clarify where I am stuck.
First I get the USB not recognized error

Next, in Device Manager, an Unknown Device shows up under USB (no exclamation point).
Then when I inspect it, it says No Drivers are installed.
When I try to point it at the driver through forcing procedure, it ends with " The folder you specified does not contain a compatible software driver for your device", despite me picking the correct inf. Same result for Naked Driver 0.72, 0.73 and the package sdbags referenced...
Ok, I think it's time to determine if you have a Windows/driver issue or a cable/port issue.

It comes with fastboot/adb already installed, doesn't need any drivers - so it should connect to your tablet with no problem at all. Unless there's a hardware issue....

What do you have under Portable device? Your driver should be there....
Did you only do the 'Search folder for driver' routine or did you also try the ' Let me pick from a list of device drivers' option and then point to the folder with the naked drivers?
.... on second sight:
You seem to have an x64 OS. Are you shure, you got the appropriate drivers for x64? There seem to be different ones on the internet.

Look under Details (Hardware Ids) for the VID and PID to see if this is really your tablet. These are the ones that I know:
0b05:4c90 = TF700
0b05:4c91 = TF700 in USB Debugging mode
0b05:4c92 to 4c95: TF700 in some other modes
0b05:4daf = Fastboot mode
0955:7030 = APX mode

Just tried the Live-CD... no luck! Both "adb devices" and "fastboot devices" returned an empty list despite me following instructions from the other thread.
I guess my last option (after I unlock) would be to try and install TWRP through the app method?

Hey there,
My Asus Transformer TF101 was working fine yesterday... I recently updated to ICS without any problem. I then rooted my device using viperMOD PrimeTime v4.5. Once again, everything worked without any problem.
After rooting, I ran the V6 SuperCharger script. The device rebooted and everything was fine... Then according to the instructions, I downloaded a modified version of the services.odex file and I replaced the original system file (I did kept the original file by changing the extention to .tmp). This is the last time I've seen my Transformer booting. I did this because of the reply from bsoplinger on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276&page=906
The thing is that I forgot to change the owner:group to root:root and to chmod 644. I believe this is where I failed.
Asus Transformer TF101 B80
Rooted ICS with viperMOD PrimeTime v4.5
V6 SuperCharger Script activated (Choose Option #8)
Replaced original services.odex with a new "empty" one
Now, when booting it gets stuck on the Asus Logo with the rotating loading circles... they keep rotating forever until the battery is drained out.
This is what I tried:
Booting with Power button & Volume down then Volume down again (tried Cold boot and Wipe)
Booting with Power button & Volume down then Volume up (Recovery)
Booting with Power button & Volume up + NVFlash (won't work because it is not a B50-B60-B70)
Drained the battery to 0%
Put an official firmware update zip file on a microSD and booted with it
So.... this is pretty much it... As of now, I'm out of ressources and I don't know what else I can do... 40$ via Paypal to the first persone who gives me a working solution.
Thank you for your time!
If you have the original saved on your PC, try pushing it to your TF with ADB
So you can boot into recovery? If you can get into there I'm sure there are ways to fix your bricked device.
Which recovery are you using? If you don't have it already, I'd recommend installing CWM recovery and flashing a new kernal/rom.
There are plenty guides on how to do that, or I can try to walk you through it but if you managed to do that other stuff to your transformer I think you'd be able to follow the current online guides.

Actually, the renamed original file is only on the internal SD card of the Transformer. I don't have a copy.
I am currently trying to ADB work... I installed the proper APX drivers but I get a message from Windows saying that the ASUS Android MTP Drivers failed to install and all I get from ADB/Fastboot is a "- waiting for device -" message...
I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64bit

Thanks for your reply. I am new to Android but as far as I know I can only get into the stock Asus recovery mode. I can't get (or don't know how to get into CWN recovery). CWM was supposed to be included in viperMOD PrimeTime v4.5 root but I am unable to boot in it.... I am trying to make ADB/Fastboot work to see if I can launch it from there but so far I can't make it communicate with my device...
When I press Power + Volume Down and then Volume Up, all I get is a green android robot with a black "!" in a red triangle...
I had the same issue for a while, on my windows 7, it seems there are multiple things that may be using the same resources you need for this process to work. Try ctr + alt + delete to view running processes, and shut down anything that may be using adb. It is crucial to shut down Asus sync, asus webstorage, etc, as they tie up your adb line when trying these methods.
I had bricked my transformer as well, and all the processes to fix it weren't working because of "waiting for device" messages.
They finally started working once I closed all other programs using adb.
Plus, with nvflash, make sure to unpack the Rom into the folder, rather than just having the rom's zip in the folder.
After fixing the "waiting for device" error, I still couldn't get mine to work because the rom wouldn't flash over as is, I had to take the "Prime" rom's tar located with in nvflash, and extract the files into the same folder.
Once I did that, I ran nvflash, and the rom transfered over fine and I was able to unbrick my device.
Yeah you are still on stock recovery.
Your best bet is to get adb working, you can then pull the file, renamed and push it back.

Try what I mentioned about shutting down processes and hold down Volume up plus power when booting. You'll see a black screen but that's ok, you can verify that there is actually something going on because your computer should make the sound stating a new device has been connected to your pc.
From that black screen, you should be able to get nvflash to work, assuming you've shut down other programs that could be using adb, and have installed the correct driver for nvflash, and have also unpacked the prime rom into the nvflashf folder.

I just can't get ADB to see my device...
I installed Asus PC Suite, it does detect the device and show it as "Nvidia USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile device" in Window's device list when I boot using Power Button + Volume UP... When I launch adb from command prompt deamon starts but when I type "adb devices" it shows: "List of devices attached" but that's it... no devices in the list.
I deleted the "Nvidia USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile device" and installed the default ASUSTeK Computer Inc. drivers I already had in Windows drivers list "ASUS Android ADB Device" but I get the exact same result.
I also tried to install the USB Drivers from ASUS website "ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows.zip" but it seems like they are not made for Windows 7 64bits... The OS doesn't see them or won't install them...
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
When using ADB you do NOT put it into APX mode.
Try cold booting your TF, once it get to the Eee Pad screen where it's stuck.
See if ADB can recognize your device there.

Hi bArDBQ,
First of all, the driver pkg 'ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows.zip' IS the correct pkg and contains both 32 and 64 bit drivers; the .INF (installer file will enumerate/choose the correct files)
The image you posted (Device Manager) isn't even showing ADB 'mode'; 'Android Device/Phone' should be at the top of the list, if you've already manually installed the drivers or 'Other devices|Unknown device' if you have not .
Make sure you have USB debugging enabled in Settings on the device
After enabling, when you connect to your PC you will have an ?unknown? device in Device Manager under 'Other devices' and have to install/update the drivers manually (unless the files from ASUS PC Suite are still in Windows driver store).
Right-click 'Unknown device' > Update Driver Software... > Browse my computer for driver software > Browse | Include subfolders - (choose the extracted folder 'Android' e.g., [ ASUS Android USB drivers for Windows_20110321\Android ] )
You can also update 'ASUS Android MTP Device' the same way; just choose the 'MTP' driver sub-folder instead of 'Android'
You probably could just choose the top-level folder (extracted USB Driver folder) when choosing for each driver (because we chose 'Include subfolders') but that's up to you.

So, cold-booting did not help, when I do this, the device manager shows that the "ASUS Android MTP device" drivers failed to install. I get the Code 10 (This device cannot start)

Hello JR,
Thanks for the reply.
I manage to show the ghost devices and hidden device in the device manager. I deleted everything, and rebooted the computer. I connected the Transformer and cold-booted. Windows detected the device and I choose the MTP drivers from ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows.zip but I got the same result. When I was booting using the Power Button + Volume Up Windows was detecting the device in ADB mode and I was able to install the proper drivers and make it work.
This said, it was impossible for me to get the Transformer in the device list in ADB. My computer simply can't connect to the tablet.
I can't make sure USB debugging is enabled in Settings on the device since the device do not boot but it was before it was bricked.

Hey,
No, I was unable to fix the problem. I returned the device to ASUS and my replacement unit is on its way. I guess I was lucky they were not able to fix it.
Since you are on a B70 you might be able to use NVFlash. You should try it if not already done.
Good Luck!
SON OF A BBBBBBbbbbb
Son of a bbbb... Son of a BBBB.... Son of a BBBB... hot damn. Ok Rooted, stock TF101. I was beta testing an app, and got the andy on his back with red triangle for my TF101 (us variant). I can see the Eee pad logo start, then nothing, only the back light stays on. Recovery leads to andy on his back. I tried Vol down + Power until reboot, then let it settle and come up with either choose to enter android or wipe data. Either one does nothing. Only the back light stays lit.
Recovery option is a no go.
Normal cold boot is a no go,
Hot boot is a no go.
PERI is a no go.
NVFlash is not tried yet.
ODIN is a no go.
12 pack of beer is a GO. Need more though I think.
Any assistance would be helpful.
UPDATE : Easyflash with the latest OFFICIAL Asus 4.0.3 update worked perfectly. NOTE : there was a simple partial file error that caused the problem.

First off; This is copied, from my thread, in the Galaxy Nexus forum... Sorry, if you find the words "Galaxy" or "Samsung". But, this works for pretty much every phone, (except, for the USB drivers)...

So, give it a go...
I haven't found another tutorial, like this at all... So, if you find something like this it's copied from me
Now, on to the actually interesting stuff ^^
I have found a solution, to the following problem;
After installing Windows 8, you cannot install fastboot drivers, but it recognizes the ADB drivers...
Solution:
Note: If you feel more comfortable using the Windows Power Shell, you can use that as well, it is, after all, only the Windows shell
Open the dev-manager, by typing following, in a command prompt window, or the run dialog. Whichever you prefer... :
Code:
[B][COLOR="Cyan"]devmgmt.msc[/COLOR][/B]
Now, the device manager, should pop up.
Install ADB drivers, (If you do not have them present, download them here
To prevent confusion: When I say install, it can mean unpack, or install... Quick tip: An installer does nothing, apart from unpacking files, to allocated space, on your computer
Download USB drivers, from here. (Link fixed. Again (-_-") ) (Note: These are the Sammy OEM drivers.)
Should you NOT have drivers installed:
Install the USB drivers, and download ADB/fastboot drivers.
Installation of ADB/fastboot drivers:
Open the device manager, and look for "Samsung Mobile Device", or "Unidentified Device". You can make your search easier, by unplugging the phone, whilst in device manager, then plug it back in, and see what's changed...
Once you have found your phone, Perform a right-click, on the device. Select : "Update device drivers", once the dialog has popped up, choose "Browse my computer" and goto your desktop, where you have installed the files to.
Open just the "drivers" folder, nothing else...
Select OK, then wait for installation to finish.
Once that has been done, you need to reboot your device, into bootloader mode; do this by typing
Code:
path=%userprofile%\Desktop\ADB\
adb reboot-bootloader
into the command prompt (download & install this, if you want to do it the cmd-way...)
Or, turn off your phone, and reboot i it manually into bootloader-mode, by pressing
Code:
VOL UP +DWM & PWR
together, untill phone vibrates...
Once the phone is in bootloader, go back to the device manager, and look for a device named "android 1.0". Perform a right-click on this and select "Update device drivers". Again, selct "Browse my computer", but, instead of clicking on "Browse" and selecting the folder, again, select "Let me pick from a list of drivers." Once the menu has popped up, select "Samsung Android ADB interface". Click OK, and wait for the drivers to install . Then, you're done. You have then successfully installed the ADB + fastboot drivers correctly, to test this, open a cmd window, and type following:
Code:
path=%userprofile%\Desktop\ADB\
fastboot devices
If your device shows up, then you have done it!!
Now type:
Code:
fastboot reboot

Ok, here is some news, for you!
Well, according to some people, who have used this tutorial, Microsoft has done something new to their device driver signing.
I did not have note of this, as I was using Ubuntu most of the time and the laptop I was using broke, several weeks ago (It's gonna take me ages to get a new one, with which I can finally finish my ROM cooking..)
And Senior Member "purpler" has posted a link, which teaches you to turn device driver signing off, in the new bootloader, which Windows 8 is using/will be using, so; let's give him loads of thanks, for this!
here is his answer:

Creating a new tool!
Hey guys, I'm going to be creating a new tool or two, which will allow you to install ADB and Fastboot directly to the system root and which will install the Google drivers to your C:\ drive.
These tools will be available for a small donation, and they will save you a lot of work, i.e. you will never have to type in "path=<Whereever the ADB files are>" but you can just debug on
If you want to have the program, hit the "Donate to Me" button on the left of this post and donate a small amount. Then in the donation, write me a message, saying what it's for and give me your XDA username and I'll PM you the download link.

For Windows 8, I was having an issue getting my phone to be recognized in bootloader mode on an ASUS laptop that only had USB 3.0 drivers, I followed the procedures at the below URL (luckily I had an INTEL chipset) and once I replaced my native Windows USB 3.0 drivers with the Intel USB 3.0 drivers, I was able to work around a lot of issues:

You'll have to wait a moment, the system has to look for all the needed files, in the exe, and then needs to try to execute. If it then doesn't work, I'll upload an updated version, but as this seems to be working pretty much fine, I'll hesitate, not that the updated verison causes problems.
Anyways, I was running Win8 64x and it worked fine, just let the computer do it's work and it will work sooner or later, if nothing happens, even after waiting for 5-10 minutes, then try running it with administrative rights (Run as administrator).. Let me know if it works!

If it then doesn't work, you've probably got dirt in the socket, or something else, like that.
And if you don't have dirt in the socket, then I don't know, whats wrong, but it'll definitely go over warranty

Hello!!
First off; This is copied, from my thread, in the Galaxy Nexus forum... Sorry, if you find the words "Galaxy" or "Samsung". But, this works for pretty much every phone, (except, for the USB drivers)...
So, give it a go...
I haven't found another tutorial, like this at all... So, if you find something like this it's copied from me
Now, on to the actually interesting stuff ^^
I have found a solution, to the following problem;
After installing Windows 8, you cannot install fastboot drivers, but it recognizes the ADB drivers...
Solution:
Note: If you feel more comfortable using the Windows Power Shell, you can use that aswell, it is, afterall, only the Windows shell
Open the dev-manager, by typing following, in a command prompt window, or the run dialog. Whichever you prefer... :
Code:
[B][COLOR="Cyan"]devmgmt.msc[/COLOR][/B]
Now, the device manager, should pop up.
Install ADB drivers, (If you do not have them present, download them here
To prevent confusion: When I say install, it can mean unpack, or install... Quick tip: An installer does nothing, apart from unpacking files, to allocated space, on your computer
Download USB drivers, from here. (Link fixed) (Thanks so much for 5k+ downloads!!)
Should you NOT have drivers installed:
Install the USB drivers, and download ADB/fastboot drivers.
Installation of ADB/fastboot drivers:
Open the device manager, and look for "Samsung Mobile Device", or "Unidentified Device". You can make your search easier, by unplugging the phone, whilst in device manager, then plug it back in, and see what's changed...
Once you have found your phone, Perform a right-click, on the device. Select : "Update device drivers", once the dialog has popped up, choose "Browse my computer" and goto your desktop, where you have installed the files to.
Open just the "drivers" folder, nothing else...
Select OK, then wait for installation to finish.
Once that has been done, you need to reboot your device, into bootloader mode; do this by typing
Code:
path=%userprofile%\Desktop\ADB\
adb reboot-bootloader
into the command prompt (download & install this, if you want to do it the cmd-way...)
Or, turn off your phone, and reboot i it manually into bootloader-mode, by pressing
Code:
VOL UP +DWM & PWR
together, untill phone vibrates...
Once the phone is in bootloader, go back to the device manager, and look for a device named "android 1.0". Perform a right-click on this and select "Update device drivers". Again, selct "Browse my computer", but, instead of clicking on "Browse" and selecting the folder, again, select "Let me pick from a list of drivers." Once the menu has popped up, select "Samsung Android ADB interface". Click OK, and wait for the drivers to install . Then, you're done. You have then successfully installed the ADB + fastboot drivers correctly, to test this, open a cmd window, and type following:
Code:
path=%userprofile%\Desktop\ADB\
fastboot devices
If your device shows up, then you have done it!!
Now type:
Code:
fastboot reboot
adb wait-for-device
adb kill-server
Note: while the phone is booting (If you typed "adb wait-for-device") A cursor will blink, wait for that, to stop blinking, then type the next command
I hope you learned, from this tutorial!! Check my root helper out, if you have enough time
Should you have problems, in recovery, open your dev. manager, and look for following device:
Code:
Full
Select, right-click. Update driver (blah, blah, witter, droan)
Browse my computer -> Let me pick -> Samsung ADB -> Done. You have enabled the ADB drivers, on your Android Device!!!!

I have a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit machine. I have tried every combination I can think of to get the TF300T to show up in adb devices, but to no avail. I have installed Asus Sync and then done Update Driver in the Device Manager, uninstalled Asus Sync and downloaded only the drivers from the thread in the development section, modified the android_winusb.inf in the Android SDK and tried using that driver, many restarts, etc. I have needed to modify every android_winusb.inf I have used, btw, since even the Asus ones didn't have my device in there (my hardware ID ends in 4C81, the one supplied only supported 4DAE, which I find odd).

When I update the driver, the device does show up in the Device Manager as "ASUS Android ADB Interface" under "Android Phone," which is where my Galaxy Nexus also shows up, but adb devices only returns the nexus. And now, when I go into "My Computer," the Asus doesn't show up as a connected device (the GNex still does). Same in the Device Manager under Portable Devices.
Has anyone been able to get their TF300T to work with ADB on a Win7 64 bit machine? Is it possible that the version of Windows (Professional) could be causing the issue? I have heard that in the past. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I have windows 7 home edition (x64), I had installed Android SDK a long time ago. Before I connected my Pad for the first time, I updated Android SDK through the manager. I don't have ASUS sync nor Suite. The first time I connected the Pad it automatically installed some drivers, and it worked with adb from the get-go.

Yes I've done both those things. I even went so far as to try to copy the relevant information from the Asus drivers into the google usb drivers. It lets me install the driver and then shows up under the Android Phone in Device Manager. But still no luck with adb. I even uninstalled the GNex and then reinstalled it using the same drivers as the Asus (again, copying relevant info into the android_winusb.inf file) and that works just fine. Did it again with a Droid Incredible 2 and that also worked. I thought it might perhaps be related to the fact that the .inf file is no longer signed but these 2 cases make that theory go out the window.
I am banging my head against the wall on this one. I had the same problem with an Acer Iconia A500 and I never did get that one to work.

So when you type adb device it shows nothing?
Try removing all ASUS from device manager reboot then plug device back in and let windows sort it out.
You'll need to Google to remove hidden ASUS stuff from device manager though.

Correct. It will show my GNex or my Dinc 2 (depending on which one is plugged in), but the Asus isn't there. I will try those things and update. Thanks.
Edit: No go. I uninstalled the Asus Composite ADB Interface then turned off USB debugging then uninstalled the TF300T listing that popped up after that. After reboot, I connected it while not in debug mode, allowed it to install the driver itself, then turned on debug mode and had to manually point it to the driver. It still shows up in Dev Manager under Android Phone, but still nothing in ADB. I get the feeling there is nothing that can be done.
My win 7 professional installed the drivers by itself. It originally installed as a media device, and I had to switch the storage mode to "camera" on the tablet for it to come up as ADB device. I didn't test the adb devices in command prompt, but I ran the viper script and it worked just fine.

OMG, this is what happened to me last night when I tried to do the downgrade so I could root the phone.
I am on an XP 32bit machine.
I have a feeling that the Samsung software, which I also had installed on this machine is conflicting.
I'm in the process of removing all the drives (Samsung and Asus) and starting from scratch.
I still need to read the rest of this thread to see if someone answered your question, if they did, they they help me as well.

HI,
I guess a picture is worth a thousand words.
I finally managed to get a screen shot of what I have been asking help on:
I've been trying to do a downgrade so I can root my 300.
Why is the Asus showing up underneath my Samsung and does it matter.
Thanks!
Rob
Looks like it's showing up as ADB so it should be fine. Mine comes under a generic "android phone" listing, but maybe if Samsung was your first ever adb device on the computer, they will all show up that way for you. Just a guess.
thank you so much! I've been trying to solve this for 2 days

What is your device and version of Android you're running? It might help to know. There are some tools that can help. I've used USBDeview to delete all drivers and start over to fix problems like this (scroll down to the "Feedback" heading for the download.) After deleting anything ADB related from the list of drivers and starting over with the driver for my device, it worked... Good luck! I'll see what I can find if you write back with your device info.

This thread is here to help our community out as best as it can.
Why is this thread here?
There's 2 main reasons really. The first reason is to stop the development threads getting filled with questions which have nothing to do with the thread they're posted in. That then makes the thread go off-topic which is not what a development thread is there for.
The second reason is because there are too many repetitive questions being asked. The main problem with that is the fact that other users will sometimes attack the OP and 'flaming' them.
The main way which this thread will help to stop that happening is by helping you out as much as possible, while being in a friendly environment.
Below you will find the Thread Rules which I expect you all to follow and not to break them.
Thread Rules
1. Remember that while posting in this thread and across the whole site, you must not break the Forum Rules.
2. Even though this thread is for everyone to use, there'll be a lot if new members in here so no flaming or insulting anyone else.
3. As this is a help thread, remember that there is no such thing as a stupid question.
4. Even if you get your question answered by reading the 2nd post, be sure to come back here and read some more. It will help you to learn even more.

Aaaand I'll take #5
USB ADB Drivers (both OS and Recovery modes)
I have a new TF300T factory ICS 4.0.3.
I was able to setup APX mode and its driver is correctly
installed. The tablet is recognized as an MTP device and the
internal (/sdcard) mount point is reachable.
After enabling setup/developer options/USB debugging,
ADB does not 'see' the device though, adb devices
does not return the serial number.
I'm guessing I need more / different drivers.
I have the 'naked driver 0.72' package, but the
.inf is not setup for 'install' and device manager
update driver says I have the latest driver installed?
Do I uninstall the USB driver ASUS sync installed and
and then install the 'naked driver' package from the
new device wizard?
Thanks

First some info. Windows thinks it should make the choices about drivers and is designed to keep us from choosing something that might cause problems. We need to maintain control through the process. I just received a window computer last week and had the same issue. This will be a long post but was necessary for me.
Here are the choices I had to use to change my drivers
.
windows-start - in search type device manager and return.
right click on the entry you wish to change the driver for.
Update Driver Software.
Browse my computer for driver software.
Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
Have Disk
Browse
choose the universal naked drivers directory
click on the proper inf file
windows says not signed; install anyway
using this method you don't have to uninstall your current driver
if you deviate at any step windows will refuse to allow this change
Good Luck!
sigh MTP works but ADB doesn't

I'm sorry your screen capture is not large enough to see.
With your tablet unplugged open device manager; now plug your tablet into the computer and you will either see asus adb interface or maybe a driver failure. Either a larger screen capture or try to explain the changes in device manager is needed.
It would be good if I knew the state of your tablet while you are doing this.
My screenshot for adb (at the top ) and data at the bottom.
followup: tf300 adb drivers?

Both tablets work normally with their OSes and the supplied apps work as expected.
For the ICS one all I did was set developer options to enable adb, the tablet does display
the icon in the lower right corner, so the 'server' is working. I wanted to experiment
with custom firmware, so I got a new tablet that still has ICS so it can run nvflash
for tf300t.
Normal boot (the ICS tablet is unrooted & locked as it came from factory,
the JB one is rooted, (using OTA Rootkeeper and OTA JB updates),
locked). I have 2 tablets (Black is JB and Blue is ICS).
MTP and APX modes are recognized, neither recognizes ADB
('adb devices' does not return serial number with normal 'desktop'
displayed).
I see code 10 on the ASUS Transformer ADB interface, (with the usual 'exclamation point' error flag).
MTP and APX drivers did install and work as expected. normal OS (either ICS or JB) boot).
As I said, after looking at the content of the .inf file, there is a section for tf101 and tf201
but not for tf300 and tf700, I wondered if that was the issue ? If so, where does one get the
correct tf300t drivers for adb modes and fastboot mode?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943104
As usual ASUS support was less than helpful. They tell me there are no ADB drivers
or Fastboot drivers.
While I'm asking, is ICS supposed to support USB mass storage, (on my HTC devices
I'm prompted for USB connection mode, (charge only (used with adb), disk (UMS) or
HTC sync)? ASUS doesn't prompt for UMS or MTP connection modes?
Thanks

The universal naked drivers work properly for our unit even though they are not marked as such.
Asus MTP, go to settings/storage and select (in my case) three dots in the upper right(options). This will give you usb computer connection, click that, place a check beside MTP.
Your device manager entry with code 10 is where you use the directions I provided earlier to install universal drivers. While you were away I made a post in general with screen shots that may help.
Uptate:
I forgot fastboot. The tablet will only present the fastboot interface to your pc when you are in fastboot mode. From bootloader menu volume down to the usb symbol and volume up to select. This is only available after you unlock!
progress ADB for JB works, ICS doesn't.

Since neither tablet is currently unlocked I'm just trying
to get 'adb devices' to return the serial number in normal
OS boot mode. With the tablets in APX mode, Windows
Device Manager does see the APX driver correctly.
After updating the driver per your instructions, Windows 7
+ JB works, Windows 7 + ICS does not.
Windows 7 Pro '"see's" the Jellybean TF300T ('adb devices' responds with device serial number)
That tablet is running 4.1.1 (OTA JB) started life as 4.0.3 and was rooted without unlock while
on ICS, OTA Rootkeeper saved, JB OTA updated, OTA Rootkeeper restored root successfully.
The new ICS tablet that has nothing other than USB debugging turned on, is not seen on the same
Windows 7 Pro that see's Jellybean fine. I'm puzzled, if JB is seen properly, the driver is installed
correctly, right?? Unless there is factory defect in the new tablet, what else might cause different
behavior for ICS vs JB firmware, with the same driver?
Thanks

It is very possible that adb will not work properly on ICS unless it is unlocked. I can't remember but would say it is very likely since JB does work and both use the same drivers. In two days I was unlocked, on the latest JB, twrp installed and waiting for a non stock based rom.
There are some differences between JB and ICS. I received ICS input from wha2do concerning methods of entry into apx and bootloader while I was gathering info to update my thread. Here are the ones we identified.
or - no need to hold volume with these
8. adb reboot bootloader
or
9. fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot-bootloader
or
10. from terminal - you must be rooted for this to work
su
reboot bootloader
Note 1: If you have nvflash installed some of the commands presented in this post may not work; possibly 8, 9, and 10 - THANKS TO wha2do for this info!
I need to update my info to: If you have ICS or Nvflash.
I think you are ok but give adb another try on ICS when you unlock and if you have problems let me know.
OK - 1st try will be unlock and attempt adb again

on ICS tablet
Do the locked root process
OTA Rootkeeper save
Unlock ICS bootloader
test fastboot devices
test adb devices
(if ok)
adb backup
fastboot flash recovery
boot to recovery
test adb devices (in recovery mode)
nandroid backup
Hopefully everything will work as it should
if everything else worked I can try nvflash backup process
*sigh* I hope it works

Good list and order. I'm always in favor of getting adb and fastboot working properly before going forward. If you experience problems you have done everything possible to give yourself a path to recovery.
Let me know If I can help further.
Good Luck!
Be positive! It's going to work!
Just take your time and try to stick to your list.
Note: do not use WIPE DATA on the bootloader menu!!!

You know, I've often wondered why that is even there,
The right place to do 'wipes' is in a custom Recovery,
where there is an OS controlling the device mounts
and unmounts. The boot loader is more or less like
a PC's BIOS, while it can do it, its too early in the
boot process for it to have the right understanding
about whats happening in the devices setup, to
do it safely and properly.

Thanks for the explanation.
how to unlock bootloader please?
I just received my asus t300 and updated all the software OTA so it is now on stock Jelly Bean. I have read in a few places saying use the ASUS bootloader unlocker but it was for ICS i believe. I have read posts of the asus unlocker bricking devices that have JB installed and I don't want to be one of those people. Please point me in the right direction on how to safely unlock the bootloader so I can root and try out a faster ROM. I have rooted my cell phones (note2, gsIII) all day long but for some reason I can't find the start of the "bread crumb" trial for this device.
Thanks!!!

Quot from Asus: ※This tool now only works with TF300T ICS & JB of TW,US,WW CN SKU. It won’t work on other devices.
Register your unit with Asus, log into play store, run the unlocker. The bricks I have seen unlocking have been caused by WIPE DATA on the bootloader/recovery menu. Never use that!
Note: I failed to add this link earlier. This is good simple directions for unlock.
I'm not sure how to search for my problem, but I can try to describe it
all of my root directory has been moved into a folder called 0, and now there are just some random folders in the new root directory
I recently unlocked my bootloader and flashed twrp, and I made a recovery image at that point.
Then I flashed CM10.1
Then I decided not to use CM10.1 , so i tried to restore from the recovery image
So now thats where I am, and I am trying to root it now.
The default root directory that i had previously placed the CM10.1 zip is in the folder 0, and it wouldnt read any zips i placed in the regular root directory.
So if i place the root-signed zip into the regular root directory, it doesn't read it.
It does read it if it is in the same directory as the CM10.1 zip, or the folder called 0
I flashed the zip, and it didnt seem to do anything.
I may have not done a certain step during the recovery or restoration process, but I was pretty sure to wipe cache before flashing stuff, and I reset to factory before flashing CM10.1
So the main problem I am having now is that I am unable to be rooted.
Im sorry this is horribly worded >.<
any help would be greatly appreciated!
I need help and I need it fast!
I had my S7 G930F rooted a while ago and all was well until I recently decided my phone could use a restart. So I did, and after that I suddenly got the "Custom binary blocked" message.
I have already tried several things, but the phone is not connecting over USB, it refuses to charge, Odin doesn't see the device, and it won't boot into recovery mode.
It does however boot into Odin download mode but Odin refuses to see the phone so I can't perform a ROM flash.
Help?
You turned off "OEM unlock" ?
Need to stay enabled if you are running custom anything
Need to find a way to get ODIN to recognise the phone so you can flash the stock firmware again iirc
Check in device manager if driver it's installed or reinstall it.
I did turn off OEM Unlock at some point, but I believe the phone restarted somewere inbetween as well when it was off and I didn't experience any problems then.
The phone is trying to connect to the computer however but I don't see how or what drivers I need to install. I already tried to reinstall the samsung usb drivers and all the other android drivers you can find online.
Windows should install the drivers itself
Try a different USB cable / Port / PC
Trust me I have tried all these options. Windows keeps trying to search for drivers but it can't find them and then it stops doing anything with it.
And I have tried every single USB port and cable I own.

Listing the things you have already tried would help, rather than others wasting their time linking you to things and explaining how to do things, for you to say "Already done it"
Anyway, you need to get the PC to see the phone, flash stock, job done
Good luck

I have tried to install all available USB drivers related to the G930F.
My device manager currently shows a USB-controller and SM-buscontroller as missing drivers (plus an unknown devices which is most likely the phone), after re-installing the Samsung drivers they still come up as drivers that are not there or are not installed.

You're obviously not reading the previous posts, I already determined that it is a driver issue. And if I don't have easy access to another PC you can't continue suggesting the idea.
Regarding USB-controller and the phone not being recognised. What I need to know is what drivers I need to install other than Samsung's.

Sounds like possibly your motherboards chipset drivers are missing, or something along those lines
Do other USB devices work OK?
Check your motherboards manufacturers site for drivers and get all those missing drivers fixed before connecting your phone

All of my other USB devices (headphones, keyboards, adapters) work fine, no issues. I have also checked my motherboards manufacturer site but couldn't find any drivers that would relate to the issue.
Meanwhile, whenever I connect the phone, the pc tells me the device is unknown.

Well those devices you list as not being installed are related to the chipset
Right click each one in turn, > properties > details tab > select the "Hardware ID" dropdown box
Copy the long ID at the top and google it to find out what the device is, and subsequently which driver you are missing
(BTW - If your phone is not connected, any missing device driver is not the phone)

OK, try this program
https://ghostbuster.codeplex.com/
1. Disconnect the phone
2. Run GhostBuster
3. Right any entry of each section and choose "Add class"
4. Click "Remove Ghosts" at the lower right corner
(The program might restart again with Admin privileges, if so just click "Remove ghosts" again)
This will remove all disconnected device drivers from the system forcing them to reinstall when reconnected, such as your phone

Tried twice, didn't work. PC keeps saying "The USB device can not be recognized"
Maybe it helps when I say that the computer only sees the phone when it's in download mode.
I really don't know how to fix this. I do know that the phone is soft-bricked since it's able to start and boot into download mode and all.
