Now I cant see the tab on my PC, I noticed the option to mount does not pop up when I connect it I need to pull it down from the tray on top and hit mount, but even then I dont connect to my PC, I do have the usb symbol in the tray of the tab but its not showing on my desk top. It also makes a different sound when connected than other USB devices and different from before 4z. Other than that Tab in functioning as always.
Any clues
I'd be interested in seeing the answer to this too.
All I've done to my tab is flash the Euro rom and bell modem to enable phone calls and then I did z4root to root my device. I tried to plug it into my computer yesterday to transfer some files over and I would get the mount prompt on the device but when I click it, my tab never shows up on my computer. Anyone know how to remedy??
Have you tried reinstalling drivers in the PC?

Dumb me! I'll have to check this when I get home, but I'm pretty sure I left it checked. Glad to hear it worked so I'm sure that's the cause. Thanks!
I have a keyboard dock for the TF. I received it yesterday. It is in perfect working order and condition and has the latest update already applied. The price is $140.00 if no one is interested or contacts me by 6/6/11 I will just send it back to Newegg. or sell it on Craigslist. I returned the TF to Target and got a refund. I am sure it has a lot of potential but I could not even get it to sync on PC and after 4 hours of trying to get adb to work I gave up. I have rooted a lot of devices and have never had that much trouble just getting adb to work. I really did not want it if I could not root it. If anyone is interested just pm me.
Removed post
well, i guess it's too late now, but if you can't get adb to work, it's probably an issue with adb, less so the tf. (do you have the latest adb, and asus sync installed, also usb debugging?) if you can't even sync the tf, i'm gonna hazzard to say you don't have asus sync installed.
but anyway, more pertinent to your post, i don't think you're allowed to sell in these here forums.

I had Asus sync installed right from the get go as well as all of the drivers etc Also USB debugging was enabled.Adb is working and has worked with all of my devices(right now G2x and Vibrant)including Nexus One and yes Usb debugging was enabled.I spent over 7 hours trying every conceivable way and it would not even sync with Asus sync nor would it connect with Adb. I am sure this is a great device or will be with updates but I just lost my fascination for it after being unable to even get adb up and running for it. I researched this forum and even downloaded drivers more than twice and still no go. If my mentioning that I have a keyboard I am sending back which is in perfect working condition upsets you or this forum than i will just send it back and get my refund. Thought I would just offer it since they are so difficult to obtain.

That is why I returned it and am returning the keyboard. I have installed adb and rooted numerous devices(Vibrant- G2X-MT4G-G2-Nexus One) with no difficulties for whatever reason this was just a nightmare.
For your ASUS sync download, I assume you got a copy of the most recent installer from ASUS? They did an update not that long ago....

you dont need adb to use or enjoy a transformer. there are thousands of tf users that have no clue what adb is.

I have used adb and rooted every other device I have owned. Presently I have a G2x and the samsung Vibrant. They both are setup for adb and are rooted. I have no idea why the unit would not or could not be setup to adb. For what my usage would have been it was not worth the time(over 7 hours continuously just on trying to get adb installed) This is a very nice device . I have tried the Xoom and the Acer Iconia and I truly believe the TF is the best of the lot By the way I have installed adb on the xoom and the Acer Iconia with no problem what so ever. Perhaps sometime in the future I will try an Asus again.I would recommend it to friends. I believe the unit I received was defective and did not want to go the route of shipping and receiving etc.
I connected my Transformer to my macbook and it worked right away. I didn't have to install anything though I did have enable usb debugging.

Had it been that easy for me I would still have the device. I did have USB debugging enabled and tried everything I could think of. At the end whenever I would try to reinstall drivers it would recognize it as a HTC desire(Have never had a Desire). Have no idea whats up with that. OH well maybe further down the line.
Too late?

Troubleshooting:
In the event you complete the steps above but your computer either will not recogonize the Transformer in Windows as a device, or ADB will not see it please try the following to see if this will fix it for you. You only need to try these if the above steps aren't working for you, but most people, they work fine.
Try uninstalling the ASUS Sync software, and reloading it. - with the tablet unplugged.
After reinstalling the ASUS Sync software, restart your PC
Make sure your Transformer tablet is in USB Debugging Mode, and connect the USB Cable
You should see a Win7 prompt that says installing drivers. If you do not, try connecting to a different USB port, I've had to do this once on an older PC of mine.
In ADB be sure to kill server and start server and then see if you can see the device
Now, if you are still not seeing it installing drivers, or its not showing up as a device on My Computer, or ADB is still not seeing it, try download and install these ASUS Windows USB Drivers, these may do the trick : http://hotfile.com/dl/118226479/2f89b99/ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows.zip.html
I was having the same issue until i tryed the steps above. I could see the device like a HDD but ASUS sync and adb would not work. I reinstalled the software, drivers, plugged / unplugged, debugging on/off, rebooted and nothing worked until I did the exact steps above. Now Asus sync and adb work. Root time. Too bad you took yours back already...
I had hte toughest time getting the adb driver installed for the TF on my computer, where my EVO took mere minutes. I had to try multiple ports and completely remove and reinstall HTC sync to get the adb driver to finally show up and install. I'm on Windows 7 x64.
could be something simple that you overlooked. a lot of times i could have save myself some trouble and frustration if i just look over my basics first.

I have tried to Google this topic, but I have not found anything. I purchased my tablet to replace my old laptop. That beening said, is there a way to root phones from a tablet? I know that after rooting some phones they have a terminal mode but I was just curious if I could use that to root phone on a tablet ( I guess it would be like using abd commands) Thanks for any help!

AFAIK you have to have the drivers installed on your PC for your specific phone. Again AFAIK I haven't seen those drivers for HC as of yet.
You may very well get another answer, but I haven't seen it as of yet. (not to say there won't be in the future).

I suppose it would depend on the phone...if all you need is, for example, the GingerBreak.apk file to root then sure you can use your tablet, just download it from the web and transfer it to your phone. Of course, that wouldn't make much sense because you could just download the file straight to your phone too
But as KJY2010 mentioned, the drivers to use plug in your phone for anything other than SD card transfer are not programmed to work on a tablet. So no, you could not do a more advanced root from your tablet.
...why do you need a tablet to root a phone? I rooted my LG P500h without anything but that phone itself and the installed microsd.
I have an Evo 3D so I can't just gingerbreak it..... that's why I was asking. Seems like something would work seeing how tablets are growing. Guess I'm just a head of the curve.

Yeah lightyears ahead of the curve
I remember when the shady phone shops had hacked Nokia somethingorothers that they plugged other phones into to unlock them.
If you install a terminal app (connectbot has great local terminal support), connect phone via usb (with debugging turned on), you can use the tablet for adb access. Fastboot is not available AFAIK, but a fully functioning adb shell client is built in, at least it is in Honeyvillain, can't vouch for stock though.
Hi, I'm new around here although I check in periodically to see if you guys have anything cool that I can put on my Continuum My phone's usb broke recently, but luckily I still have one from my old phone from like 2/3 years ago, the LG Chocolate Touch. Anyways, I want to install a ROM on my phone, but I can't seem to connect the data. It has let me connect the data before, just at random times. Like, it charges fine but I can't access the contents of my sdcard. Is there any way to fix this? (Sorry if this is the wrong forum, as I said, I'm new here, and I'm in a bit of a rush.)

I'm almost positive I did.
I've used USB cables from both LG and Palm to transfer data and even install roms on my Continuum. Most cables are built exactly the same, except for some Motorola and Blackberry cables I think. So I would think it has to be your drivers, try unistalling and reinstalling if they are already on your computer.
Edit: Also, my computer seems to recognize my phone faster if USB Debugging is turned on.
Hey, everyone. I browse XDA a lot but I've never really had a reason to post. I do now, however.
Basically what I'm trying to do is unlock and root my Nexus 7. I discovered Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit which seems to be the best way to go about the process. From all the hubbub about it, I figured it was going to be quick and painless. Lucky me, I was wrong lol. At least for me. All I needed was to get the ADB installed with the device so I could get started, then my adventure began.
You see, whenever I connect the device via USB with debugging mode on, my PC goes mad and the device automatically connects and disconnects itself in a rapid fashion. I cannot get it connected long enough to install the correct drivers for it, the usb driver found with the Android SDK, or whichever one's the Toolkit provides as well. If it's not in debugging mode, all is normal, and the Nexus 7 installs as a simple portable device (due to windows). However, I'm unable to update it's driver with the "android_winusb".
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium and looked up ways to disable the automatic driver installation, since Windows wants to install specific drivers, figuring that was the issue. The Local Group Policy Editor is not found in my versions of Vista, so I can't disable it that way. When I disable it in Hardware of Advanced System Settings, it simply just doesn't work.
My USB cables are fine, so it's not that. I've tried every drive method in the Toolkit, and have had mild success getting the ADB drive to install properly and have "Android device" appear in the Device Manager with the ADB listed. However for it to be listed, it must be in debugging and the problem remains, it wont stay connected long enough to do anything with it. Much less root, unlock, or backup...or anything for that matter. Then windows tries to install the unwanted drivers again...ugh.
The problem seems to be narrowed down to the debugging mode issue when connected. It's hopefully my only hurdle. Has anyone else had this issue, and if so, found a working solution? This has become very frustrating and not something I expected to endure at all. Having spent a few hours trying to solve this, I hope someone else out there can help me out from here. It'd be much appreciated!

Now that you mention it, I have heard of certain USB ports not liking certain things. What a simple solution. You know, lol...it'll probably work. Thanks so much for commenting. I'll edit this post if all is well.
I would have edited my previous message, but I'm afraid I still need help and needed to bump this up.
I plugged the USB cable into the back of my PC and all seemed well. I was able to painlessly get the ADB all set up without any interruptions. Needless to say, I was excited and ready to unlock and root and...not so fast. After a short bit, the disconnecting and reconnecting bull****, for the lack of a better word, began again. Windows ceaselessly wants to install the damn drivers as the MTP or Camera, regardless if it failed or succeeded. Because of this, the device manager loses the Android Device drop down and the ADB Composite interface along with it. It just doesn't exist and therefore, I can't proceed with the Nexus Root Toolkit.
This is insanity. Is there anything I haven't tried that could remedy this? It shouldn't be this nerve wracking just to root a device, I swear...lol.
Any chance you have access to another PC' maybe a family member? That way you can rule out your PC as the problem.

Well, I did plug it into my girlfriends laptop once to see if it would act up, and with USB debugging turned on, it did not. That may be my last resort, but ideally, I'd prefer to use my own PC for any business such as this, and it irritates me when there's an issue that shouldn't even be that I can't solve. I'm sure some out there can understand that feeling.
So at this point, I'm just looking for a possible solution on my end. If there isn't one, then I guess I'll have to submit and abduct her laptop...lol

There was a time when my aunt's galaxy tab 2 will act like this. What I did was turn off usb debugging first and let it install the drivers. Then I turned usb debugging on again and I didn't have the problem. It could also mean that the cable you got is faulty or somethin.

Well, if I connect it with debugging off, it installs as a typical portable device and when I try to update the drivers with the winusb drivers needed, it doesn't install properly. So far, it must be connected to where it creates the section in the device manager "Unknown Devices" and appears in its drop down list. I'm still tryin' guys. Thanks for the help so far!

Quite the coincidence we posted around the same time. But yeah, still giving me trouble. I will try to tackle it again tonight, but if I can't find a solution soon, I suppose I'll at least get the unlocking and rooting done on the laptop I spoke of, then for future stuff, try to get the ADB working on my PC.
You can do what i did and just download one of the toolkits to install the drivers.

Toolkits? You mean like Wug's? I am using his Nexus Toolkit, or trying to rather. The issue lies within getting the Nexus 7 to stay connected correctly as an "Unknown Device" in Device Manager, in which to properly install the drivers to get Windows to identify it as an "Android Device" and have the ADB recognized successfully.

I actually enjoy Vista. It had a rough start, but still. I don't think it's Vista because my gf's laptop runs it too, and when I tried connecting and doing everything with it, none of the connecting and disconnecting crap happened. I'm thinking there's a setting or something I'm overlooking on my own PC that's causing it in particular to do it.
