[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solar.Plexus:
Have to tried manually installing drivers?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hearts king101:
Thanks

Tried but no luck :confused:.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solar.Plexus:
You sure? Which ones did you try?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hearts king101:
I tried the one available in Asus official website.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solar.Plexus:
You could try these drivers here. If nothing else, you can use ADB to transfer files, if that's your main concern.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hearts king101:
Already tried but I don't know why my PC cant recognize my TF, it gives me UNKNOWN. and regarding ADB, that's what i want so that i can root my device. :confused:

Thanks :highfive:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solar.Plexus:
It says "unknown device" after you installed those drivers?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hearts king101:
unknown device > try to update the driver > FAIL

FYI: The issue occurred on 2 different computers with 2 different OSs .
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solar.Plexus:
In which section of a Windows Device Manager does the unknown device appear?

What do you think ?

And sorry for bothering you :o
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solar.Plexus:
It's no bother, just trying to help out.

Can you try to force install drivers? From the Device Manager, choose to update the driver software -> browse my computer for driver software -> let me pick of a list of device drivers on my computer -> and then choose one of the ones you see. Or even uncheck the compatible hardware box and look for a Generic USB driver. It's a long shot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hearts king101:
It did not work :confused: ( It said " the wizard couldn't find a better match for your hardware than software you currently have installed " although when I check for the current installed driver It said ' No driver Installed "

BUT:

I'm going to install a new OS bcuz I have issue with current one and try again but its late now in KSA ( 12 am ) so will do that tomorrow.

Thank you for your kind help. really appreciate that.

See you soon ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solar.Plexus:
That's weird. By going through that process, it should force Windows to install the drivers, even if they aren't compatible with the device. Although it's been a long while since I used XP, so I'm not really sure anymore what it's capable of doing.

the drivers are all right on the asus site nice and handy. install asus sync too.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solar.Plexus:
That's not the problem here. OP says the drivers or any others aren't able to be installed to the device.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hearts king101:
Exactly. Even after installing a fresh copy of XP, the issue persists :silly:

I'll try again and again until I fix the problem OR I break my PC :rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xShadoWxDrifTx:
Hmm.. If it still says unknown device it shouldn't be a problem with the cable, since the computer can at least detect the device being connected.

I'll dig around when I get back home to my PC to see which driver I used to connect successfully.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haxin:
here. its been a while since i did my tf101 first root, and a while since ive even used a windows computer, but i still had everything left on it. heres a link to the asus sync installer, the android usb drivers, adb, and fastboot executeables, and some other root **** that i cant remember what was for, kernel, and recovery blob i believe. nowmif these drivers dont get your device known on the windows machine then nothing will.

i'm pretty sure the google usb windows driver for adb connections is in there too. if not then you can just download the android-sdk for windows and install it from the <sdk>/extras/google/usb_driver/ directory.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sthEn:
Same problem here, Unknown device no matter what. Probably fried port on device, all i can do is to charge my battery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haxin:
could you do me a favor and take a screen shot of the device driver details. of the unknown device.

heres an example of what i mean.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xShadoWxDrifTx:
Just to update the post I left a few days ago, I used this driver http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1514942&highlight=naked+driver

Extract the files to a folder, and you should be able to search computer for a driver file, rather than running it through the windows update.

As Haxin posted, please provide a screenshot of what you see.

Thanks

Guys :

This is the 3rd windows installation and the problem still presents :confused: .

DO YOU THINK THE ISSUE IS WITH MY TRANSFORMER ? I think it is but :eek:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solar.Plexus:
I don't get it. I can force install drivers to any device, even if it makes that device unable to be used at all. It's got to be a problem with your tablet...

Sent from my Slider SL101
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hearts king101:
Looks Like. :crying:

OK, Can you at least give the folder path where the driver should be installed ? I'll try to copy/paste and see what happens.

Also anything I can do to my tf to fix the problem ?

Thanks in advance :good:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haxin:
/me sighs. ok thats still not what i asked for i want to see the driver details screen shot so i can see exactly which driver you have installed. which i know is not the right one. you need to manually update the driver, not let windows run the wizard. that way you can browse to the folder that contains the driver you want to install. this is NOT a problem with your tablet hardware. its a problem with windows not knowing what it is. im guessing you havent installed the google adb drivers from the android-sdk or you havent installed asus sync app yet like i told you to right?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solar.Plexus:
Wait, you still haven't tried choosing the drivers you downloaded manually?

Like haxin said, don't let the Windows Hardware Wizard/Warlock/Whatever do it. You have to choose yourself and browse to the location where you put the downloaded driver files.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hearts king101:
That's what I did. when I try to update the driver, I choose manually the driver I downloaded and not let windows to search online if that what you meant by " don't let the Windows Hardware Wizard/Warlock/Whatever do it " also the 2 screen shots I provided above is after connecting my tf to pc and after updating plus I have installed asus sync and google adb driver.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haxin:
ok you need to pay attention. youre not even doing what i told you to do in a way previous post.

you see those driver details? those drivers specifically i gave you in a link to my box.com account. go back to that post download the 'asus usb drivers and root apps2.rar' and extract the files inside.

now hopefully you're still with me. if not then just turn the computer off, sell your asus tf101, and become Amish.

now you have two options you can "manually update the drivers" and find them in he folder you extracted from the .rar i linked you to. hopefully you can handle that.

or

you can plug the asus in, then from device manager just uninstall the unknown device. and uninstall asus sync too. unplug it then plug it back in and when windows asks you for the drivers you want to install, point windows to the folders i gave you. the driver you want is called ASUS Android Composite ADB interface. now if you want windows to see the asus when its in bootloader then you can install the ASUS Android Bootloader interface driver, etc. EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS IN THE LINK I GAVE YOU.

also next time i post you a link to something. and tell you to to do something. just do it. mmmkay.

How To Videos on the Samsung Galaxy S III (How To Root, Install Roms, & etc) 08/10/13

I realize there are other threads similar to this, but hear me out. I created a How To thread in the Evo 4G LTE forums, and a few weeks later, another thread like mine popped up. Then sgt. slaughter moved both our threads to this one. There are several threads like this across the forums, so there shouldn't be a problem with me posting mine. If a Mod feels the two should be combined (like sgt. slaughter did in the Evo 4G LTE forums), awesome!

What's up Josh? I think you used to make videos for the Samsung Transform.......just thinking about that phone gives me the chills. Anyway, glad to see you're still at it. I remember you said you were from TN and I saw you asking Google about Titans games in one of your videos. I haven't been to Nashville in a minute but the Titans are struggling big time.

Keep up the good work. I always enjoy your videos.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wwjoshdew:
Yeah, that phone is long gone... It definitely had a HUGE role in where I am today, so I have to thank that device and Samsung for the boost I needed. I WAS from their, now I'm in KC. The Titans are NOT my team. I rooted for them for YEARS. I was there when they lost to the Rams, and then when they ALMOST made the Super Bowl. Thanks for the kind words. I'm gonna work on making a how to flash stock and reset the counter to zero, so Sprint doesn't know you rooted your device.

Sprint Galaxy S3 ota jelly bean

Does anyone know how to get root back after downloading the ota jelly bean update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wwjoshdew:
Yeah, he updated the toolkit for donators and it roots the latest Jelly Bean update. If you don't want to donate 5 dollars, there is another way. Just ODIN the TWRP tar to your phone, immediately reboot to recovery and install the SuperSU zip and you'll have root.

Sorry I haven't been replying to my stuff much lately, it's been a hard week for us.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jnapier:
Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see where to donate or where to grab the toolkit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wwjoshdew:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957155

When you download the toolkit, there will be an option (like 24 or 25) that lets you donate. No required amount either, just what you can spare for all of his hard work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jnapier:
That link goes to the galaxy note 2 toolkit. I found a link to the same persons s3 toolkit but it's not updated to jelly bean. Apparently from the thread a tar file can be loaded with odin but nobody seems to indicate which file. Any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wwjoshdew:
Must of had the wrong link in my clipboard, sorry...

HE IS UPDATING IT (no ETA!!!) to support Jelly Bean! I have auto updates (donators only) and there is no update yet. I just used ODIN and flashed the TWRP TAR to my phone and then flashed SuperSU in custom recovery and had root!

? Does this root method wipe my phone completely like with the evo 4g or does it just give you root permissions.

i know how to flash roms with the sprint evo 4g. Is this any different or can i keep the current stock Jelly bean on my Galaxy S lll and get root permissions.

So, I followed all of the instructions in the root video, got to where I closed Odin, and now I have a black screen... I really don't know what to do at this point. Did I just brick my phone?

It will show the Samsung logo after a reboot, but after that, nothing, and the blue notification LED will stay lit.

EDIT: It looks like the root I applied was for 4.0... and not 4.1. Am I screwed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wwjoshdew:
You're on a SOFT BRICK! Don't panic. The toolkit hasn't been updated to jelly bean yet, but he confirmed he's working on it. right now you need to restore a nandroid or flash a stock rooted rom back to your phone to get it working again. Basically it tired to install a 4.0.4 boot image and it's not accepting it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Shushunmire:
I'm looking for some links to do that now, but do you happen to have a link detailing the process for flashing a stock rooted ROM?

I have experience flashing with an EVO, so I'm sure it's not the same process.

Rooting SGS III

Nice! Very informative!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wwjoshdew:
This has been my Wife's phone so that's why I haven't done a lot of videos on it. I can't take her daily driver and flash it all the time.

We're getting her the Galaxy S4, so this device will just sit around because she'll be using her S4 and I'll be using my Note II (until the HTC One comes out).

That means a LOT more Galaxy S3 videos will be made. This device is not going anywhere. I mean the ORIGINAL Epic 4G is still being developed for and probably won't die for a many more years to come. I have a LOT more free time and can't wait until she gets the S4, then the S3 will be strictly for videos of roms, rom reviews, and etc.

Thanks for sticking around and being awesome!
