[Asus Transformer TF700] drhode:
I finally installed APX!

I finally did it. After spending all my Carnaval boiling by brains instead of having party and samba and trying to figure out what should I do to run APX (to use NVFlash), I ended up installing APX drivers and ADB drivers, and all is working here :laugh:

To say, not without some embarass... everything was at the "Asus Android USB Drivers for Windows", a driver pack that can be found...at Asus website (is actually one of the few downloads for windows there).

The thing is that there's some "tricks" and "pitfalls" to the newbies like me when they try to install that drivers. At first, I even thougt that they were not compatible with my Windows (I use Vista 32, that is famous as being really a ***** when comes up to install things).. So, for ADB, I just gave up from that drivers and tried to install Asus Pad PC Suite, that included ADB drivers, but apparently not APX. At that moment, when I was only looking for ADB, worked. But later, trying APX, I got really stucked.

To make a long history short, I'll just enumerate what I did and what I paid attention as necessary steps. If someone wants to give a try and follow them, there's the description.

1) Your device must be with the USB Debugging Mode enabled. This is found under Developer Options (enable it if Developer Options don't show by tapping 7 times the build number, under Settings/About).

2) Asus drivers dislike Windows auto-install. When we plug our device in USB (just normally, Android running), he is recognized and Windows auto-install prompts a message offering to locate and install drivers. IGNORE IT, SKIP IT. Just tell windows that will install later (there's an option for that, at least in Vista 32).

3) Then go to Control Panel, and choose "System". There, choose "Device Manager". There, look for something Asus, if you don't have previously installed any (if you have, uninstall it first, reboot the PC, then plug the tablet via USB). If you haven't installed nothing and your tablet is connected, will appear something like "Asus ADB Interface", marked as not working by Windows.

4) Then, right-click over it and ask for "Update Driver". It will open a new prompt asking if you want Windows to search it automatically or if you want to search driver files manually from other sources. Say you want to search it manually. After, say you want to choose from drivers list (bottom option) and then say "Have Disk". And then direct Windows to search the driver in the directory where "Asus Android USB Drivers for Windows" are (uncompressed directory, please). The drivers file is the "android_winsub.inf", under the sub-directory "Android". Choose the file and proceed the installing.

5) This should install ADB. But, wait: the problem is the APX, not the ADB, right??? So, what does all this is for? :eek:

6) Now the magic (or, what so magical happened to me): rebooted the tablet into APX Mode. And then another window of APX auto-install will pop. IGNORE IT.

7) Again, go to System/Device Manager. APX should appear there as "Asus Transformer Infinity APX Interface" or something fancy alike (if appear only "APX", something gone wrong and the installation already failed, at least here was this way). Is also marked as not working by Windows. You should again right-click and choose "Update Driver"

8) Repeat the process, if necessary direct Windows to the directory where the android_winsub.inf is. From this point my Windows installed automatically some parts, but, as I could notice, installed the driver from that same file of before.

This installed APX for me, and I could run wheelie and NVFlash! :victory:

One important warning I give to the stucked TF700 owners that are searching for APX drivers: DO NOT TRY TO USE UNIVERSAL NAKED DRIVERS! They are great, but made for TF101, Prime, Nexus, etc, etc, NOT for TF700 Infinity! So, try to use that drivers, as the moment will give you nothing more than a splitting headache. Use the pack from Asus.

So, I honestly hope this helps. I know it arrives too late for many, but still if can help somebody at least a little bit, I'll be happy.
