Sorry about the uninspiring title, but after an afternoon of this I'm uninspired. All I wanted to do was root this Xoom so I could take some screenshots..
I can get the tablet to stage where it says
--> fastboot
starting fastboot protocol support.
at which time I assume I can start adb. I've tried the USB drivers from the PDAnet package, but when I plug in the Xoom I get a desktop notification saying 'HTC Exit -1' (sorry, that may not be the exact wording, but the same effect).
in that 'fastboot' state, adb devices tells me there aren't any devices connected
the Xoom show up OK when booted into Android, Windows (7, 64 bit) sees it as a drive, and Device Manager sees an MZ604. adb still doesn't see anything
I started off by using the minimum set of utilities (adb, fastboot and their dlls) and then installed the SDK and used its tools (yeah, I've pathed everything properly, I was writing DOS batch files in 1985... and now am a grumpy old man )
The Xoom is Australian WiFi only, runs Honeycomb 3.2.2, hasn't been rooted (I'm trying to do that)
speaking of old, though, the fiddly volume rockers get that way (and or so ironically are used for screenshots in ICS I believe)
I have a feeling that I don't have the proper USB driver installed, I've uninstalled PDAnet, and the Xoom still shows up in windows, but since I can't get a root prompt on the Xoom have no idea what it's using
Any ideas?

SD card not found
I may as well get all my woes into the open
When in Recovery Mode, the Xoom won't recognise the SD card, it seems to be trying to mount it on /sdcard
I have some zip files of a rooted Honeycomb image, and was going to triple cjeck whether flashing a zip file was a good idea or not first, but I don't get that far
I can see the card and contents from Windows while it's mounted in the Xoom
I should be able to use the card from recovery mode, right?

What USB cable are you using? Try to use your Xoom oem cable. Also, make sure that you try different USB ports, especially the ones tied more directly to the pc motherboard. It's finicky like that. Recheck your drivers. I'm not familiar with that PDAnet source. Motodev is the place to get them from. You may also need the java sdk from oracle.
There are some useful guides on setting up adb/fastboot/rooting in General...you may have to go back a few pages but it will be worth it to make your task easier.
Good luck!

Which recovery mode are you talking about? Have you unlocked and installed a custom recovery, as in a ClockworkMod-based recovery? If so, which one? They have some different behaviors. If it is stock recovery, I don't think it sees the external sdcard at all.
Also make sure usb debugging option is enabled. And flash another recovery image.
You don't really need to root. Just unlock the bootloader. Push the recovery image. Reboot to recovery. And flash a pre rooted rom from team EOS.

Hi
Some background. Like many, I bought a TF700T and like a fool installed the OTA update to JB. I then downgraded, rooted in .30, then upgraded again and flashed SU to keep root in JB. I am now, therefore, running the stock OTA JB ROM, rooted. My bootloader is also unlocked.
Initially after this, plugging the TF700 into USb on Windows 7 (x64) worked fine - the device popped up as a Media Device and I could transfer files on and off it with ease. Now, without changing anything on either end, Windows is refusing to play. It tries to install MTP drivers but fails. If I boot the device in either CWM or Fastboot it connects fine (with adb and fastboot, respectively).
I want to get files on and off the *internal* storage (I don't have an external sdcard)
Things i have tried:
- Using a different USB port
- Using one of the USB ports on the back of the machine, instead of the front ones
- Uninstalling the MTP drivers
- Using the ASUS drivers from the website
- Cleaning out all my old unconnected USB devices (show devmgr_unconnected_devices=1 or whatever) and uninstalling all THOSE drivers
- Cleaning out with USBDeview
- Fresh install of the OTA ROM, after a data wipe/factory reset and wiping cache and dalvik
The only things I haven't tried are a new USB cable (damn you ASUS and your proprietary connector), and a clean install of Windows (major ballache).
Any ideas about what I could do to sort this would be greatly appreciated.
Since I only want to be able to move files on and off the device, I tried a workaround. I tried mounting the sdcard (internal) in windows manually through adb but the command I used to use on my old S2 through adb shell (echo dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file) but it errors with No such path or similar. I'm unsure if the mount points are different (I guess they will be, can anyone help with telling me what the mount point for the internal emmc is on the tf700?)
Really hope someone will be able to help me!
Thanks in advance guys
I'm in a similar situation except I'm not rooted or unlocked. I've tried just about all the steps you've mentioned w/ no luck. I've even tried to three different PCs running XP, Vista, and 7 and get the same result. What makes the situation even worse is my brand new 32GB microSD card won't read on my desktop as well.

First check make sure you have your "USB debug" and "Unknow software" checked in settings. Then go here and install the pda software for your windows. Once installed, it will installed all the driver for your tab automatically. You don't need to use the software, you can uninstall it later, but the driver will stay.

I haven't picked up a TF700 yet (out of stock locally), so these are just general suggestions...
From adb, shell into the OS (adb shell) and list the directories to try and determine their structure. If the device is booted, the internal SD should already be mounted.
I would start by looking for the following folders:
/sdcard
/mnt/sdcard
/data/media

I had the same problem getting MTP to work on old XP machine. The following worked for me...see post #12
http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...ormer-manual-usb-drivers-sync-software-2.html
Thanks for the replies, everyone. I installed PDANet and was initially hopeful once the drivers started installing. Sadly, Windows still doesn't see my device.
adb shell-ing into the device --> mounts
This lists /dev/fuse as the internal storage. I can't echo this to /sys/devices/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file because when I do it returns "No such file or directory"
The solution posted as working on XP machines doesn't work either.
This is seriously annoying. I'm tempted to just give in and get myself a 32GB SDHC and card reader and just use that instead - at least that way I can move the files across with Root Explorer or something...
EDIT: solution here
Hi all,
My HTC OX+ died, and I bought a Motorola Moto G (Falcon) to see me through to the end of my contract. Aside from the price, the big draw was CM support.
I've unlocked by bootloader and installed TWRP without trouble (when I was screwing with my HOX+, I read that CWM doesn't support sideloading. Since - correct me if I'm wrong - the 'cleanest' way to install a ROM is to format the SDcard completely, then install the ROM, sideloading support is vital).
I've tested and confirmed root access (initially, I thought not having the SU binary installed was an issue, although I did have TWRP installed fine). However, I'm stuck with adb - in recovery, adb does not recognise what I do. I've tried installing, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers from various sources (first the ones offered my Motorola during the unlocking process, then the ones from Windows Update, and last but not least ones from here: http://d-h.st/5j0 - following advice of a thread I found on here). I've tried doing this both automatically and manually using Device Manager.
Usually, precisely because of these problems, I hate using Windoze for this kind of thing. However, I don't have a Linux distro open to me atm - other than in VirtualBox, in which case adb still doesn't pick up the phone (presumably because its reliant on the host Windows drivers). I'm tearing my hair out trying to get it fixed.
Not that they can be conclusively relied upon, but as confirmation it is a drivers issue (despite Device Manager finding no problem), when the phone is connected in recovery (TWRP), Windows plays an odd sound - three tones instead of the usual two.
Any help would be appreciated. My Windows is Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Also, I've no problems at all when the stock OS is booted - or at least 'adb devices' detects the device and displays it correctly.
Thanks!
CWM does work with sideloading (that's the way i installed CM the first time ) [make sure to use the one linked in CM11 thread!]
if i understand correctly:
fastboot works fine (since you could unlock the BL)
adb works when the device is booted
adb fails when in recovery
make sure you are using the latest adb :
Code:
[email protected] ~ $ adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31
if your version is lower than 1.0.31, then update it (in that case your adb is outdated regarding the 4.4 bootloader) ==> update your Android SDK manager or your adb binary

Do you think CWM is preferred to TWRP? If sideloading is supported, it's not like you spend much time in recovery anyway, so if you think it'll help, flashing CWM is definitely something I can do...
AFAIK...
- have only used fastboot briefly to install recovery, but this went without a hitch.
- ADB does indeed work when the stock OS is booted
- As above. Fails in recovery, I suspect because of a driver issue (weird Windows sound when connected, no Autoplay popup etc). You can kind of understand this...writing a driver for the device in recovery is hardly a key issue for the devs (though I confess, why it can interact with the same hardware with one set of programs loaded (i.e. stock OS) and not another (i.e. TWRP) I've no idea)
Just issued the command, and (as expected since I downloaded the bundle only yesterday from Google) I am running 1.0.31.

In fact i never tried TWRP : i have always been happy with CWM so i didn't feel the need to change (so you can give a try but i don't think it would change anything)
Try to run ADB as administrator it may help (i think you can open cmd as admin with windows but don't remember how :-\)
I don't know how USB drivers work : there's a long time i didn't use Windows

I think I can figure this out - I'll double check it was running as admin, and try flashing CWM.
As with flashing ROMs, do I need to wipe anything first? Or can I just use the same command I used for flashing TWRP in the firs place?
If it's still not working, (re) installing Linux seems an idea to try (I assume you're not on OSX?). What distro do you use and/or do you know others have had no problems with? (Usually if I was installing Linux, I'd take Ubuntu's minimal iso and stick as little as possible on top of it - since the drivers are likely to be something cut out of that though, installing a 'normal'/'full' .iso seems sensible)
Cheers for your help, man

The latest TWRP has in its wipe menu a setting to wipe to install a new rom I use this and with the Gapps & rom Zips on the phone choose install from sd card.
You only need fastboot to flash recovery or stock roms.
Adb is not needed at all but can still be used if you prefer!

To install CWM :same as for TWRP, no wipe required
________
Linux :
I'm using Mint (Cinnamon and Xfce) since a while [ubuntu based distro] and Manjaro since a few days [Arch based]
If you want yo install linux without touching your HDD you can do the following :
Burn an iso (Xubuntu could be nice)
Take a blank 16GB USB key and unplug your HDD to void issues
Boot on live CD
Install linux to that USB device
And now each time you want linux : just force boot your computer to USB (no grub / no modifications on HDD)
To use ADB you'll need the Android SDK Manager (to stay up-to-date) and set up your udev rules following this

Is the android-tools-abd and android-tools-fastboot package in the Ubuntu repos not maintained to be the latest? I've no idea about Arch package names, but again, it'd surprise me if they didn't maintain their repo with the latest package (especially since they pride themselves on being on the bleeding edge).

Right, well...we'll see how it goes. It might be the repo package does the job.
I've installed CWM and can conclusively confirm I prefer TWRP (the interface is hardly touch-friendly and even though I'm using the touch build, it's easier to use the volume rocker in case of accidental presses) but little else. Windows seems completely ****ed up - when CWM is booted, it plays the disconnect sound, when the cable is unplugged and plugged back in it goes back to playing the 'unknown' tone. Currently torrenting Xubuntu - going to see if a live install has any more luck.

Right, I'm running TWRP with CM11. There are a couple of issues bothering me, but that's another thread...
Solution:
- From stock, booted into recovery, then replaced TWRP with CWM. Rebooted into CWM.
- Tested sideload from CWM. Still non-functional. Made sure cmd.exe was running with administator privileges, still no difference. Time for _buntu!
- Installed Xubuntu. Connected to wifi, downloaded
Code:
android-tools-adb
and
Code:
android-tools-fastboot
. Plugged in phone. Checked
Code:
adb version
(it is the latest, 14.04 was released in April after you checked in Feb, and the new release must have updated the package...seems strange no one backported it though).
- Sideloaded and did a dirty flash of CM11 (didn't want to wipe without first confirming I could flash and everything was functional). Issues (as expected) such as slow loading but able to boot up.
- Decide it's time to push my luck and flash TWRP - this goes without a hitch.
- Test sideload. Still working, so perform full wipe and factory reset. Then sideload CM11 + GApps.
- Reboot into CM11. Still some issues so flashed the CM11 kernel using fastboot (not sure if TWRP does this automatically, but since the boot up improved a bit, I'd guess not).
- Now have a fully functional phone, albeit some of the changes from CM10.x to CM11 have disorientated me a bit...
Thanks for your help man. As with a lot of things this turned out to be a dopey Windoze issue than a problem with the phone or adb etc!
TWRP
TWRP has sideload ability.
Boot into recovery and got to the "Advanced" button then the "ADB Sideload" button is at the bottom. I am on TWRP v2.7.0.0 and I used it the other day so I know for sure it works.

And during that time i succeeded to break both my Mint and Manjaro installs (user-related fails) and bring them back to life XD
I'm trying to root my tablet for a couple days now. It became kind of a challenge now to root it.
So here are the things I've tried:
Most famous one click root applications - KingoRoot (also the pc version), OneClickRoot, Framaroot, Zhuanhou (or something like that) , Baidu, Universal Androot, and a couple more. All failed. KingoRoot I tried a couple of times (maybe 10), all failed. First I was trying with a locked bootloader, then I unlcoked it, tried most of the things again, no success.
I tried following this thread to root it manually https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684210
Everything went well untill the part when I needed to access the files from nautilus in download mode. I tried both in an ubuntu on a virtual machine, and on a kali linux running on a live usb, but I couldn't see the files in nautilus. I tried fastboot mode also after I unlocked the bootloader, I also tried ADB sideload mode, no success.
I can see my device when I type adb devices when its on, can't see when its in recovery mode, I can see it when I type fastboot devices when it's in fastboot mode, both in windows and linux(es). I can't see it in sideload mode in adb devices (I don't know if it's supposed to be that way)
When I plug it into the PC in MTP mode, I can't see it in Windows and Ubuntu running on a VM (VMWare player), windows fails to install the driver (corrupted inf file or something), in Kali it shows up in MTP mode. I can see it in camera mode though, and it is listed in adb devices. I can connect to it's shell normaly, push files, etc. Can't switch to adb root.
I couldn't find CWM or TWRP recoveries for it either...
In the manufacturer website there are some files to download, including a reflashing manual in polish , a driver, that's actually just CWM universal driver, and their stock os image files, with sp flashing tool.

In the manufacturer website there are some files to download, including a reflashing manual in polish , a driver, that's actually just CWM universal driver, and their stock os image files, with sp flashing tool.

Hello,
I just got a new U11, hoping to use it to test/debug my Android apps. But I cannot get it connect to ADB reliably. I have tried everything I could, including
enabling developer options + USB debugging
adb kill-server, adb start-server and adb devices
revoking USB debugging authorizations
authorizing & remembering my PC
I've tried countless combinations of the above, but adb keeps showing unauthorized or offline. Very very occasionally adb shows "connected", but Android Studio freezes when I run my app. When I unplug, Android Studio immediately unfreezes. But again, when I plug my phone it becomes unauthorized/offline.
My other Android phone works without any issues. Is it a bug with the stock firmware?
The phone is running stock European firmware, with everything stock (including locked bootloader).
Could anyone please test/confirm this on their Linux laptop/desktop? Any fixes? Thanks a lot!
Strangely, it works on Windows. Maybe Ubuntu kernel update yesterday broke adb :crying:
I get my phone tomorrow and will update adb and try to connect. Have you tried starting the adb server as root?
sudo adb start-server

Yes, I did all adb commands after $ sudo -s
As it works without any problems on Windows, perhaps I should ask on a Linux forum?
For now I would use Windows until I found a solution

I have the same problem.
I have Debian in my computer (MSI GS40 6QE) and in my girlfriend's computer (Asus UX32V) . Same update state in both of them.
I'm unable to use adb or fastboot in my computer but it works correctly in my girlfriend's computer.

Haha, at least the issue is not unique to my phone (and laptop) :laugh:
I suspect Android SDK is most well tested on Windows, at least everything is already set up for you. But Linux allows you to run most dev tools in your HOME folder, so they don't mess things up.
Hopefully someone comes up with a fix.
My Xiaomi running LineageOS (basically AOSP) doesn't have any issue. Perhaps HTC Sense heavily modified some USB options?

I have no problem with my M8 and my computer.
Android "is" Linux. By that, at least, tools like adb and fastboot must be very well tested under Linux :angel:.
Try to open you computer file browser and to browse or copy some files from/to your computer/phone. I'm unable to do that also.
I tried to root my phone in the same day I received it and I was getting really worried because I was unable to use fastboot (I by that I was thinking that my device was defective), even the simple "fastboot getvar all". Then I remembered to switch to another computer and voilà, everything was working perfectly.
Maybe HTC has something broken in the USB3.0 stack.
File transfer and fastboot don't work on my Ubuntu either.

I don't know if it related with kernel (in computer side). I already tried version 4.9, 4.10 and 4.11 (the one I'm running right now).

I tried 4.10 and 4.4, neither worked
I have same problem with Windows 10 64Bit.
All working fine here.
Sounds like udev. Have you followed the setting up usb access part of
https://source.android.com/source/initializing?
I have solved my problem. I have install Windows 10 new and now all working.

What Linux distro/version are you running? I've been trying to get this working with Arch and it's driving me nuts!
I run various flavours of Debian and Ubuntu across my machines and have ADB working on them all..

Got it working by downloading adb straight from Google instead of using the Arch package.
