Impossible to install drivers

I'm stuck in recovery after making the mistake of booting in recovery from the Power down menu (something i never do but I guess out of habit from flashing my nexus) and I find it impossible to install the drivers. I've tried the naked drivers and other asus drivers I've found but no luck. I've tried three different computers, different OS and both 32bit and 64 bit to no avail.

I've followed the different procedures mentioned in this thread but no one worked.

ANYWONE?!!!

W

Update!!!

out of the blue when I connected my prime to the laptop it installed the drivers by itself and i was able to run adb!

hoooray!

Bricked?

Every time I try to use the cmd, my PC closes the cmd box. I cannot progress further. PLEASE help!!!

This is what mine is doing. I have tried installing drivers multiple times. How long did you wait until it "fixed itself"? I am on day 3...

Brick 3 with fastboot and recovery

I don't know if this is exactly the same brick but I had this occur after I tried to encrypt my Prime. I tried various things and finally I used Quick ADB Pusher (ADB in cmd would not work for some reason... never could figure that out) to push a ROM zip that I renamed to update.zip to my sdcard. It finally took after a couple tries and I was able to flash the ROM with the sdcard/update.zip option and it booted right up after looping once. Hope it helps someone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] snowiboy:
Can you explain the process you did in more detail? My TF201 is stuck at the Edd Pad boot screen. I am able to get into "fastboot" menu, but cannot get adb to recognize the device. tried naked drivers, etc...

I tried the NVFlash process and have it showing androidroot 9.4.2.28r01 at top left of screen, but it never actually boots up past Eee Pad screen. Help!

Stuck on EEE Pad splash screen

Hey guys, I am stuck on the splash screen on my TF201. When I restart the tablet and not try to get in to recovery it just sits there. It says "This Device is Unlocked" and also EEE Pad. When I reset and try to get in to CWM, it gets stuck in "Booting recovery kernel image".... Any ideas guys?? Please help.

--EDIT-- It will let me get to the screen with the three options to wipe data, USB and cold boot to android. USB gets stuck, android gets stuck and wipe data allows me to wipe... but then it gets stuck.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] iriikoad:
Hi !!

I thought I had the "option 3" brick: Recovery Ok, can falsh rom, or back up, but stuck in splash screen (with the msg "device is unlocked' on the upper left side).

No way to get adb access.

(Notice that it was my first flash ROM on Prime (but many on HTC Desire). I did a backup before, and wanted to flash EOS Jelly Bean...)

So I found this: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/21533-brick/

And he says to unmount everything before installing the zip of EOS and gapps.

And it worked!!!

It's a bug on CWR (5.5.0.4).

So, I hope I can help...

Now the rom is started. So I will update CWR!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaswad23:
I am having the same problem, any help with this would be greatly appreciated. RIght now my Prime is a paper weight. Adb will not recognize the device, I have installed the drivers and it shows fastboot device connected. I can copy files to it as the screen has shown sending system file or whatever to the device. But when i reboot it just gets stuck at the splash page saying "The device is unlocked"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tech Faded:
Need Help!

So, I apologize in advance if this has been posted previously, I tried the search and nothing came up.

So here is what happened. (Heads up does not contain "unrecoverable bootloader error")

I have not touched my prime for a couple weeks. I came back today and saw that all these new Jellybean roms had been posted and was delighted to see if I could use one.I however forgot about Clock Work Recovery Wipe and did a system factory reset on accident. :crying:

I now relize that was a big No-No. I am stuck in a infinite Clock Work Recovery Bootloop. Please, tell me if there is anyway to fix this. I would be devistated if my prime was perma messed up.

Edit: I am currently working on using adb since it seems to show up in Quick ADB Pusher. But, it will not show up in the ADB console whats going on here?

EDIT2: HOLY MOLLY I FIXED IT! I had no idea the instructions in the op worked for my situation woooooooooh!!!!!

please help me

Hi, I flashed ww_epad-10.4.2.9 (8th step of instaling androwook 1.2) and now I am stucked with this :

custom recovery shows red exclamation mark (!)

booting shows only asus logo, in the left corner it says : The device is unlocked.

fastboot mode - on PC says usb not recognized

Is there anything I could do please?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sashajovicic:
same problem here!

any solution ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hawkysoft:
idk if it's mentioned or not..

but here's my 5cents...

installed new rom - not everything worked.. went back to old rom - stuck at boot animation, flashed new rom again, stuck again

solution - factory reset - install aokp clean rom - after a while my device went black after the bootanimation and stayed black - rebooted device - profit, works 100% - rebooted in recovery - thrown my backup over it and all is back how it was.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] finneginsfast:
So I've got a brick that doesn't seem to fit into any of the op criteria as far as I can tell.

I'm unlocked and got a tablet that just hangs at the asus splashscreen with the circle animation, tuning and turning and turning.

If I hold the volume - and power, then hit the volume- key I get the screen with the wipe, usb, android options. Seems like no matter what option I choose I just get asus and the never ending spinner. :(

Is this a forever brick? Appreciate help...

Tf201 apx mode

greeting,

I managed to unlock (UnLock_Device_App_V6) and root my TF201. then I installed GooManager to installed a recovery which I successfully did.

Then I boot into recovery and installed Jelly bean (us-tf201-jro03c-10.4.2.15-stock-deodexed) and superuser (Superuser-3.2-arm-signed)

it all went well and working great.

until I wanted to install a patch for GPS (tf201-GPSTweaks). I couldn't get into recovery so I installed GooManager again and tried to reinstall recovery again.. the phone reboot and stocked in asus logo..

what should I do?

I can get into APX mode

hope to hear soon
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] finneginsfast:
Could someone please comment on this for me, I'd be grateful.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kwineon:
OOOps...wrong thread.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bec07:
Any more news on APX mode?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] duckied:
I think i hard brick my prime, would there ever be a fix for this or should i just chuck this thing into the garbage?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bec07:
Just send it to scumbag asus. If the bootloader were truly unlocked the should be able to flash in APX mode... but nooo...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kwineon:
If I ran the unlock tool, the mysteriously lost my boot loader, are they able to reprogram the device? Or am I out the cost of a new board?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bec07:
Well APX mode always seems to work and since they probably have the SBK based on your serial no. it's a piece of cake for them to flash it. Most people who had warranty seem to have gotten it fixed for free. Will report o how my rma goes too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
I was handed a soft-bricked Prime ($100 w/ dock), it's got a locked bootloader and latest OTA. He had put a new build.prop in /system and now it bootloops to a black screen.

[fixed]
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kwineon:
Thanks! I hope it goes smoothly and they will just suck it up and repair it. They could just find a way to release a full flash file for reprogramming the phone. I know nvidia has done it for some of their phones, so I can't believe that it would be physically impossible.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] duckied:
I also email them about my situation I'll let you guys know how much of a hole in my pocket they will charge me if they can fix it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sashajovicic:
I got answer from ASUS - 250eur for mainboard replacement. No flash or reprogramming available in current condition.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] duckied:
damn... for that much i might as well get a nexus 7 then sigh...

Hi, I had CM10 on my Prime, when Asus released JB, I restored to Stock ICS (JB rom was not already avaible for download). I searched for updated, but w/out success, so I followed a method found in this forum (something named "ugrade to JB for who have problem with OTA update")

but Rootkeeper didn't save my root.

2day i found a way to root JB directly, I tried to go into fastboot mode, but tablet doesn't!!! I see "loading fastboot USB mode" but it's stuck there =[

I can reboot in OS, I can wipe from bootloader menu, I can go recovery (at least i think, I see the droid with warning symbol, but that's normal because I wiped my device)...

is my tablet bricked??? :eek:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d1ez3:
I was on ICS bootloader with cm10, I did NVFlash and then downloaded hairy bean 1.3, In the install process after I did the first install of the rom (on TWRP 2.3) it just hangs at the asus splash screen. I can get into fast boot but I cannot shut down. I have NO idea what to do! Is there any way I can fix my prime?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] captsakis:
if you enter fastboot it is easy to flash roms in the card,just read the first page or search the forum for more instractions
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] erichung_13:
I flashed hairy bean 1.3, then attempted to flash the TWRP recovery which came in the updater.. I cannot shut down, I can get into bootloader although if i try to enter recovery or wipe data I get the error "Unrecoverable bootloader error", only fastboot works.. Is there a way I can unbrick my prime using fastboot only? I am not sure how to get adb to work from the bootloader screen so all I got to work with is fastboot..

Thank you in advance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] COLJ04:
I searched and dug and couldnt find any help so i resort to asking (pleading) for someone to be able to point me down the right path.

Ok i flashed HairyBean 1.3 last night after a full wipe. I gave it over a hour to redownload my apps and settle down. i then went in and started playing with some settings and getting everything how i wanted. i decided to reflash hairybean to up my overclock some more and BAM! no boot.

I am getting the Eee Pad screen which reads the device is unlocked.

If i try to enter Recovery or The menu to choose fast boot (vol down + power) i get the following:

android Cardhu-user bootloader (2.10 e) released by ""us_eeepad-9.4.2.28-20120525" a03

Checking for Android OTA recovery

booting recover Kernal Image

Sooo anybody seen this or know he next step. I didnt have a NVflash blob.bin saved to my new computer so i cant get to it (im a idiot) so what are the options short of sending it in. Thanks for any help

My 64GB Prime was unlocked, in Flawless condition, and far less than 1 year old.

OUT-OF-WARRANTY Repair

$161 - Motherboard

$65 - Labor

$10 - Ground return shipping

Asus received on 10/16/12

Asus emailed me the quote and a credit card authorization form on 10/23/12

I filled out and emailed the form back that same night.

No reply from Asus as of 10/25/12

Edit: My credit card has been approved. Asus is quoting 3-6 days for the actual repair.

11/01/12 - My repaired TP is on a FedEx truck now. It should be here in about 4 hours. I'm crossing my fingers that they didn't scratch/dent/crack anything. My tablet was FLAWLESS when I sent it in. Yes, I took about a dozen 16 Megapixel pictures of it before I sent it to Asus.

For those wondering.... I decided to the pay the $236 repair charge because I originally paid $600 for the 64GB gold model; and I really have NOT had any real problems with it! I could not buy another 64GB tables for anywhere NEAR $236. I'm responsible for bricking it; and I paid the price...

In the mean time, I bought a TF-700t and I can hardly tell it apart from my Prime! It works perfectly well with my Prime's keyboard and charger. I honestly see NO Difference in performance over my Prime! I can't wait to put them side-by-side to check out the screen differences and to see if the Infinity does, indeed run faster...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] duckied:
Honestly if they charge me that much I rather buy something else. Sigh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] duckied:
Email came in today. $161 for motherboard $75 for labor and etc for shipping depending on which one you choose. I'm not paying $250+ for a device that will be dated soon and probably lost the ability to be rooted again. Experience with Asus customer service was horrible also they seem too disorganized.

On a lighter note off to the next android device!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] broad_st_bully:
I flashed CM10 unofficial a while back & it had the JB bootloader....worked fine except for a few minor issues.

I went to flash a different JB ROM through TWRP (JB version of course) and it flashes the rom zip and the the gaaps zip but when I reboot it freezes at the asus boot screen...

this happens with EVERY JB ROM EXCEPT the unofficial CM10...the cm10 loads right up no prob...every other JB rom no luck...

I tried to flash another JB rom and everything flashed but at the end it said "E:Unable to mount '/staging'"....is this tablet partially bricked, did I do something wrong here ??

I been flashing roms for over 2 years so I know what/how to do it...not a noob...but I never had an issue like this before....

tried to push CWM with Fastboot but again the tablet freezes...seems to only wanna work with TWRP and the CM10 unofficial rom...

officially lost here...

someone help?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cam30era:
Once you flash craigcgomez unofficial CM10 ROM it updates your bootloader to JB. You can not flash any other JB ROMs after that because they will only work with the ICS bootloader.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ka911:
Hi guys, I have updated my TP to JB everything was working good until 3 weeks of use, my TP started jumping every time I try to type in the browser, I tried to use (TWRP 2.3 - Asus Transformer Prime) by using Goomanager but unforchantlly I downloded and installed TWPR through GooManager (this is where I "brick" my TP). Now when I start it will show me that my device is unlocked in the top corner of the screen, and just stay there. I can't access ClockworkMod Recovery any more! I managed to charge the TP now. so, I'll wait until it's fully charged and see if I can access it though my PC.

it's truth that I can't fix it because I have JB?

Please help!

hi, my prime is bricked, i think... :(

it's booting the virtuous rom, but it doesn't reconize the wifi and doesn't show the memory, so i can't put any rom to flash, although the cwm is still present.

can anyone please help?!

thanks a lot in advance!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZeDroid:
Push a ROM from your Computer via ADB. (or simply use a micro sd)

1. Get a functioning version of ADB. (via Android SDK for example.)

2. Put your ROM inside the same directory as your adb.exe

3. Open a cmd window.

4. Enter the following:

cd C:/YouROMdirectory/
adb devices [COLOR="Green"]//should show your TF201[/COLOR]
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip

After following these steps, the ROM.zip should be in the main directory of your internal SD Card.

Please help!!!!!!!!!!

Ok,

So I am stuck in Recovery, what appears to be the soft brick..... All it will do is to continue to reboot to CWM based Recovery v5.5.0.4 When I look for it on SDk using adb, it can't find my device. My device is showing up in Device manager as a Full Android on Emulator..... It wont read sd card either..... Please anyone. I just sold the device and was just doing a factory reset.... Any help would be great.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
you need universal naked drivers and cwm sucks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ljclifton:
do you know where to get the drivers.. OK, found it and have them downloaded but there is not install file... How do I install drivers. When I look for them in the file they don't seem to recognize as drivers...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
on computer right click computer icon

choose manage

click device manager

find adb device or conflicted device right click

update drivers

choose the folder where you put the universal naked drivers and let it install

have had too much rum tonight to get more detailed than that. good luck.

I've been running WW_epad-user-redvirus-10.4.2.15 ROM for several months and decided to give Energy.TF201.JB.11.11.2012, both JB ROMs, a try. After USB copying the Energy ROM to the SDCard, I was unable to enter Recovery. Next I found the Prime will not boot. I get an ASUS screen with "Device is unlocked" in the top left corner. Windows 7 sees but no longer recognizes the device and lists it as an unknown device in the USC controller list. When I uninstall in device manager, I don't get an option to remove driver from the computer, I suppose there is no driver to remove. When I try to update the driver and point to the Universal_Naked_Driver, Windows won't accept it. So here I am with a brick that doesn't appear to be on the list in OP.

Any suggestions from the group? Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] duckied:
Okay new update, few weeks ago when i got the call from Asus saying i need to pay a certain amount to fix my tf201 plus pay for shipping I told them to forget about it and that I don't want the device anymore then hung up. I guess they tried to contract me few more times after that but I didn't even want to brother with it anymore more, and was looking into the nexus 7. (sorry for the run on sentence, its a forum i don't care about grammar). Today i received my tf201 back in the mail with a note stating that the device was sent back damage and that i void my warranty blah blah blah they tried to contract me blah blah blah. I decided to turn it on and to my surprise it worked!

So i sold my dock, charger and etc lol #%@#

Just figured I'd update for the guys that will be or was in my situation
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] webin:
I appear to be fully bricked. I unlocked with the ASUS tool, then upgraded to the latest firmware from asus. I was attempting to restore my root, but had trouble getting into recovery, so I attempted to flash CWM though fastboot. I don't remember the output, but everything seemed normal, except for the fact that I could no longer get past the ASUS boot screen. No more fastboot (or ADB), so no way to flash anything. My tablet is detected in APX mode, but without the NVFLash blob prepared ahead of time, I have no way to access the device. I'm out of ideas on what I can do locally to get back into a bootable device.

I will probably "try" calling ASUS customer support to see if I can thread my way into a low-cost warranty repair, but my hopes aren't high. My guess is I'll be biting the (very large, financially) bullet and buying a device from someone else.... Nexus 10 perhaps.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bergoulle:
How did u updated?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] webin:
The update to Jelly Bean was via the firmware ASUS provides on their website, placed on a microSD card, and inserted. The tablet detects the file and runs an update routine.

CWM was flashed (or I attempted to do so) with fastboot -i 0x0B05 <whatever the command was, I forget>

As best as I can piece together, the original root method I used months ago (ViperMod(?)) cludged up the system to make new recoveries problematic, and that led to this brick.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] iRico:
Need a little help. I was on CWM with an recovery loop issue. I was able to fix it using this guide installed JB then installed installed TWRP it booted up into my ROM. So I then rebooted into recovery but it doesn't work. It says Eee Pad then reboots and just keeps repeating the process. If I hold down Power and Volume down it says "Booting recovery kernel image" then reboots in a boot loop. Help? :(
