Hi Guys,
so my problem is I cannot get the usb drivers to install on my desktop for some reason. If i plug the xoom into my brothers laptop they install right away and it works fine.
Im running win xp pro serv pack 3. and theres no download link for the drivers or i would be all set...
Ive tried putting it into debugging and still no go, ive updated my win media player to 11 as it said in the moto forums... but no good.
Im lost here and really dont wanna rip out my hard drive and slap it in a hard drive enclosure then hook it and the xoom up to my brothers laptop just to get my files off it.....
any help would be wonderful.
Thanks in advance!
There's a lengthy thread on this over at the Moto forums. Maybe you can find a tip there.
Better yet, here's the solution they found.
Yea, ive tried everything in that thread and even posted in it.. no luck tho :O(
SOLVED!
Had the same problem and after hours of searching the internet I finally figured it out on my own. As a reference, I am running Win 7 Home Premium so I cannot guarantee that this will work on other versions.
So...plug in your xoom to your computer. Most likely it will fail to install the drivers. Right click on "My Computer" and then click "Properties". Open the device manager and you should see your xoom with an exlamation point next to it(MZ604 or MTP depending on whether or not USB debugging is on).
Right click on your xoom and choose to update the driver. Choose browse my computer for driver software. Choose your C drive and nothing more in the first box and then let your computer search for the drivers. It should automatically install and should now show up as xoom.
The last thing to do is disable or enable usb debugging(depending on which one you started with...whether it was on or off) and repeat the process. Now you can access your xoom and all of the files.
Hope this helps.
Yeah, its another 'ADB not working on device xxx' thread.. but this one really has me stumped.
Device in question is a TF101, PC in question runs Windows 7 64-bit.
PC has been used successfully to develop android apps. for a Samsung S Plus, with the entire toolchain working.
Same PC, running VMWare, virtualizing XP (32-bit), has also been used to develop/debug with the TF101.
Now the problem. Natively (without VMWare), I have been completely unsuccessful getting the TF101 to be recognized by ADB.
What has been tried:
- TF101 USB drivers from Asus
- TF201 USB drivers from Asus (which also include the TF101 drivers from the look of the .inf files)
- Hand-edited .inf file from the standard android ADB driver
- Adding the VID (0x0b05) to adb_usb.inf
- Uninstalling (and deleting the driver) for anything related to android devices (Samsung, and Asus)
So what happens is that the device does appear in device manager, with 'USB Debugging' checked on the Android device.
With one of the driver combinations I end up with 'Android Composite ADB Interface' in Device Manager, but for some reason its under a 'Samsung Android Phone' Folder, this may well be part of the problem.
No matter what I try, 'adb kill-devices/adb usb' always shows 'error: device not found'
I am two solid days into this now, after reading just about every TF101/ADB thread that google knows about.
Anyone else experienced this?, and might know how to resolve it?

He's made it pretty clear that he uses ADB with other Android devices, so I don't think that a guide to installing ADB is going to be particularly helpful to him.
FWIW, I had the same issue. I installed the USB drivers from Asus and could never seem to get ADB to "see" the TF101.
So I ripped them out and installed the full ASUS desktop PC suite from their website. ADB now sees my TF101 just fine. I uninstalled the suite after I had the connection working and ADB still connects to my TF101 without issue. The Transformer PC suite is on the same download page as the stand alone driver.
If you can't find it, PM me and I'll get back to you with a link.

I too was using ADB already on my N1 but couldn't make it work with the TF.
After reading and following directions on that thread I got it working.
He might not need instructions to set up ADB from scratch but there's good infos about the Asus PC Suite.
Step 7
Basically same as what you just posted and same as what I did to get it working.
I can confirm that too that installing ASUS SUIT works better than just installing drivers, I don't know why but it does. It's the same with my phone. Sometimes installing usb drivers do not work but when I install Samsung kies then somehow that works better even though it includes the same drivers I am installing as stand alone which do not with properly.

Same thing happened to me had to buy a new cord.... does the computer recognize it at all

im not sure if it would help but everyonce in a while ill have a hard time with my adb connection and ill start up wireless adb and can conect fine from that. i dont know why i think in wireless you use ip address on wifi so it might recognize and connect different.. of course this depends on if you want to use it and is alos hardware dependant mainly wifi.
I'm running OTA 4.0.3 (Acer_AV041_A500_1.033.00_PA_CUS1) rooted with I don't know what tool, but rooted after upgrading to 4.0.3, and using one of the tools found here which was the latest (at the time of rooting). The tablet has an "A500 Root Tools" app which has options to enter APX mode amongst other things.
I'm unable to get my Acer to connect to my PC via USB. I tried using both a mini(?)-usb cable and an A-A cable. My acer makes no notification, and there's no visible, or audible, evidence that anything was connected. USB Debugging enabled and disabled makes no difference. The tablet shows absolutely no sign that anything was plugged in. Nothing in notifications, nothing in any file managers.
Likewise on both a Windows 7 PC, and a Windows Vista machine. No little sound saying I plugged something in. Nothing listed in device manager. Nothing anywhere. The Win7 machine has the Acer drivers installed, as it is the machine I used to root it a few months ago.
Is there some weird ICS toggle that I need to perform to get this working? I know my USB ports are working as I've plugged in USB sticks and it mounts them without issue.
At the end of the day, I'm just wanting to flash my bootloader so that I can install CWM and a custom ROM. If there's a way to do that without needing my PC connected, that would make me equally happy.

Reinstall the Acer Drivers and also the Google drivers from the android sdk if u have that installed, if not use the adb_fast.zip attached. For you to successfully flash the BL do not underestimate the importance of having the drivers correctly installed - its the cause of 90% of the problems folks have had - my advice is to keep Device Manager open the whole time so you can see what is or isn't installing - dont proceed with the flash until you are sure they are - else you'll be looking at a downgrade to HC to fix things
you can also use Acer Recovery Installer from the market to install a custom recovery
While I appreciate your help, my issue is not drivers - Windows isn't loading the wrong drivers, or no drivers at all. Windows is showing no sign at all, at all, in device manger, any where, that a tablet has been plugged in. Like wise, the tablet gives ZERO notifications on being plugged in to a PC. Nothing. No sounds. No notification. Nothing.
I was originally using the micro(?) usb slot, and it was not working. I assumed that USB slot was dead. So I went and bought a USB A-A cable - after testing the normal USB slot and established it works - and it, too, does absolutely nothing when plugging the device into a PC.
I've since tested with an Ubuntu 12.04 machine as well. dmesg lists nothing.

and the adb interface driver thats not showing in device manager?? and you have the acer drivers installed??
All the signs are pointing to no drivers, failing that its sounding like a hardware issue either yr tab or cable - can u try on another pc/laptop?
Tested it on a Win 7 Dell, on a Vista Dell, and on an Ubuntu 12.04 Compaq. None show any sign of the device being connected.
I know my *two* micro USB cords work as my Nooks (color and tablet) have no problem with them. I know the large USB slot works as I've plugged in a keyboard and a USB memory stick and both are immediately detected by android.
I've also done a factory reset on the tab. Problem persists, obviously.
I'm actually setting up stock Win7 on another laptop right now. When it's complete I'll install acer drivers and plug in the tablet. It will be the only USB device, let alone android, to ever be plugged in to it.

cool let us know how u go....oh dont forget the adb drivers too
Same. I feel like it's something on the tablet rather than the PCs. But I don't know how to get 100% stock again without being able to have a PC connection.

The tool you used to root it (icsRoot) also has an unroot tool, which you could have used...I have tried to unroot manually which wasnt easy as I had a pre-rooted rom and I had real trouble getting rid of superuser, but in your case it may be a bit different....Sorry can't give you much help in the unrooting ics dept. Maybe try flashing acer stock rom??? or starting a new thread??
Did you ever solve this problem, I'm pulling my hair out with the same thing.

are you trying to flash something or do you mean when you connect yr tab
windowz explorer doesnt show your int/ext storage??
more info needed, what rom and bootloader, what OS on yr pc can u try on a different one, try a different cable and usb port..
have you run the acer drivers setup.exe
did u install the android usb ones
have u opened a command prompt from the folder where adb.exe is and run "adb devices"...does a number show??
when u have device manager open and connect yr cable do you see the drivers install. If they are there then uninstall them, disconnect yr cable and clean boot and reconnect.
If they do not install then manually install by pointing them to the folder you extracted the zip to...for the acer ones, just point it to your c: drive
If windows trys to install them, stop the hardware wizard from searching windows update and manually install them yourself.
If you've tried to flash the bootloader and it hasnt completed for what ever reason - you can strike issues such as yours - again, uninstall, clean boot, reconnect, manual install

what about the micro-usb port?

That's correct, a straight USB "A to A" won't work. Further, I discovered something else; not all micro-usb cables are created equally! I was using a cable that worked fine on my Thunderbolt phone, would not work at all on my A500. Turned out there's some enhancements to the pinouts on the newer micro-usb devices. So the lesson here is go with the cable that came with the device if at all possible.
Seriously though, give a different micro-usb cable a shot; they're pretty cheap around the interwebz.
Hi,
I just got my nexus 10 and the drivers for mtp are not installing right now the device gets installed as acer adb interface.
please help.
mtp is ticked tried changing from mtp to camera and back doesnt help.
The third post in this thread has links for the drivers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2670400
You will probably need to manually update them
Happy flashing!

Hi thanks for the tip got adb working with naked drivers but which ones should i use for mtp it doesnt work with google ones...
I would recommend downloading the SDK (should also be linked) and then run it and update the drivers from there

Windows chose the wrong ones, it happens
Go to device manager, look for all the usb drivers, plug in tablet and see which one pops up, then manually update (should be in the naked driver folder or SDK if you updated it)
I successfully flashed my yd206 from gearbest using the yotaphone flasher utility.
My friend bought the same model from gearbest, but when I select option 1 to flash the phone (having put the phone in download mode), all I get is "waiting for device"
Everything I have read suggests it is a driver issue, but as i have already done this sucessfully on my phone using the same computer, I doubt that is the case. It successfully shows up as a portable device on my Win 10 device manager (no exclamation marks)
I have tried:
1. different cable
2. Clearing dalvik cache
3. factory resetting
4. setting developer options, usb debugging on
5. using a different computer
Any suggestions?
Sorry, should have put this in troubleshooting (maybe a moderator could move it?)
I think you have the same as me.
There is a problem with that driver, I do not yet know why. You will never be able to communicate with your handset. I will investigate mine, more.
My suggestion would be to try on a different PC. (oops I just saw that is your point 5).
I have been told by my friend that he used device manager and forced windows to use the usb driver in the C:\Program Files (x86)\yotaphone_flasher\Driver\ folder and afterwards it worked fine.
Didn't you try that driver in yotaflasher folder already? That makes sense about yotaflasher folder drive r. Mine arrives tomorrow after 12 day wait. Did your friend have the same problems with the "waiting for device" message though? That's the important question.

When I flashed my phone I didn't have any issues. My friend's phone did have "waiting for device" whilst trying to do it on both my PC and his until he changed the usb driver
Ah that's good news about your friends attempts. I tried installing Adb drivers on different handsets today without success.
If the fastboot works, I will be confident about flashing a new ROM, otherwise Chinese ROM here we go

Ah, so there was no exclamation mark in your device driver table and it still failed? Ah that's bad news for me, mine has exclamation mark.

Hi Jblessing, can you share details about how your friend forced windows to use the usb driver in the said folder? I have the same issue and still haven't figured it out.
Much appreciated!
Sorry, he didn't explain. Presumably something like this :

I did have the same problem
I solved this issue by installed this driver: ADB Driver Installer (9.22 MB)
