boot loader wont show usb , phone shows in windows !

hi all
im trying to flash the rom on my phone but for some reason it wont go to usb in boot loader , i cna sync it , load file to sd card et all but it doesnt go usb any more in boot laoder.
any one got any ideas ?

huh, perhaps you need to update drivers for Vista/7, happens to me every fifth flash or so
go to Device Manager - Update Drivers - Search My Computer - Let me pick from a list - Have Disc, then find the downloaded and extracted folder
for 32-bit Vista/7 you need "wceusbsh"
also, before flashing you need to run WMDC, open Settings and untick "Allow USB connections"

already done that but it did caom up in the end just ahd to un plug re plug serveral times and waiiiiiit . flashed ok (least so far its alloking good)
thanks.

[Q] Tablet wont mount via USB

Acer A500, ICS bootloader, ICS rom 4.0.3, stock.
I can't get it to connect to any computer via USB. Any reasons for that?

Got USB debugging checked?

Let me check, Im pretty sure its always checked...
Ok, yes it is. And Im looking at it right now, Im in the settings screen --> Storage --> Storage settings --> USB computer connection --> "Connect As" MTP is checked.
Nothing is showing up in the finder, not the internal SD nor external SD (micro sd card). There has to be a way.

Get the Google usb drivers and install them manually through device manager. Ignore any warnings about compatibility.

Could you point me in the right direction, or give me a file name to search for, thanks.
Im actually going to flash a new (aftermarket) rom later, so that might fix the problem, but in case it doesn't ill still need the file.
Oh, what device manager are you talking about? Whenever I think of flashing I think ADB or booting into CFW and flashing a zip or similar that way...

one more: go to control panel -> device manager. If you see anything like samsung, android phone etc (check the usb tree there) - delete it (uninstall drivers) and reset PC.

[HOW TO] Root Yoga Tablet 2 [STEP-BY-STEP] [NOOB FRIENDLY]

Hi?
I'm posting this thread for all those who want to root their tablet but need a step by step guide for the same. I have condensed the information from many threads and put it into one. All the credit goes to the respective thread owners who have posted the guides. Let's begin:
NOTE: Im not responsible if you brick your device. You are solely responsible for what happens. If you follow the steps correctly it is unlikely that it will harm your device. If you face any issues you can post it here and I will try to solve them ( or someone else will). All good.
Scary stuff apart, let's begin to root your device ?
1. On your device, Go to Settings, Developer Options, and click on Enable USB Debugging. If there is no Developer Options in Settings, Click on About Phone and click 7 times on Build Number. This will give u the option.
2. Once you have enabled it, connect your device to your computer via USB cable.
3. Install the device drivers from the autoplay options.
4. Right click on My Computer and click on Manage
5. A new window will open called Computer Management, under which u have to click on Device Manager.
6. A list of devices connected to your computer will be shown on the right hand side.
If your device is listed under heading Android, as Android ADB Composite Device, then there is no need to download and install adb/fastboot drivers, and you can go ahead with the rooting process.
But its most likely your device will be listed under Other Devices. Under that it will be as MTP device or by the name of your device itself. This means you have to download and install adb/fastboot drivers on your computer before rooting it.
7. Open your browser and click on http://adbdriver.com/upload/adbdriver.zip which will download the adb installer on your computer. Run through the setup and install it. Run the program, it will automatically detect your device and install the necessary adb/fastboot drivers for it on your computer.
Alternatively, you can click on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118 through which you can install the same. I did it with the first method for my device.
Download and install it in [C drive].
8. Once the drivers are installed, go to Device Manager again (Step 4 and 5), and check on the list of devices. Your device should be listed under the heading Android, and showing as Android ADB Composite Device.
9. Open up C drive, there should be a folder named 'adb' under it. Open that folder and right click anywhere and open a command prompt.
U can also press 'Win+R' keyboard keys and type in 'cmd.exe' to open up a command prompt and use the cd command to come into the right folder. Once your into the adb folder in the command prompt (it should show as "C://adb>".
Type in command 'adb devices' and press enter (without the colons).
This should show you that your device is connected by the name of your chipset as Baytrail******. If it doesn't show this it means the adb drivers are not installed or ur device is not connected to the computer. Only once after it detects your device you have to go ahead with your rooting process.
10. After you have successfully completed all the above steps you are now ready to root your device.
11. Click on this link forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57543871&postcount=1 from where you will have to download 'Intel Fastboot Tethered Temporary Recovery Session Launcher' onto your computer and extract it to some folder.
12. Download the UPDATE SuperSU zip file to your device and store it in your internal memory so you can find it easily later.
13. Now open the folder where you have extracted the Intel Fastboot Tethred Temporary Recovery Session launcher. Double click the launcher.bat file to start and type " ACCEPT " case sensitive without quotes to continue.
check that the tool is reporting as either :
DEVICE STATUS: ADB-ONLINE
DEVICE STATUS: FASTBOOT-ONLINE*
If " DEVICE STATUS: UNKNOWN " please check your cable connection and driver installation under Windows Device Manager
If " DEVICE STATUS: UNAUTHORIZED "
Please check if your devices is displaying an authorization prompt.
Be sure to check 'Always allow from this computer' and then press ok.
It will ask for the type of recovery u would prefer to run. Options 1-4 will be TWRP recovery and 5 will be CWM. I selected the CWM recovery. So enter number '5' and press enter.
14. It will display the list of triggers to be selected for the rooting process. Select the trigger to launch the Temporary CWM Recovery Session.
The list will be as follows:
T1 oem startftm ( very few devices support this command , but its the original used so )
T2 oem backup_factory ( limited devices support this command )
T3 oem stop_partitioning ( should work on alot of kitkat builds )
T4 oem stop_partitioning ( probably works on all devices that are supported (Jellybean , KitKat , Lollipop)
15. Select trigger 'T4' if you have upgraded your tablet to Lollypop Android 5.0.1. After selecting the trigger your device should reboot into fastboot and begin to copy files to your device.
note :*If your device hangs at the waiting-for-device screen and you see droidboot CMD Waiting on your devices double check that the fastboot driver installed correctly.
note :*If you see unknown oem command the trigger isn't supported by your device.
16. The temporary cwm recovery session will start at this point on your device.
17. Select install zip from the recovery menu using vol up / vol down to navigate and power to select.
18. Select install zip from sdcard / external_sd depending on where you placed the file and select the UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.Xx.zip you downloaded earlier
19. Confirm the installation.
20. After install completes reboot your device*through the reboot device option in the recovery menu itself.
21. It's going to take a while for the device to reboot. 'Android is upgrading' window will pop up once the screen gets on. After the boot is complete open all apps to see Super SU installed in it.
Now you have successfully rooted your Yoga Tablet 2. Enjoy ☺
NOTE: Follow all steps carefully and correctly so it becomes highly unlikely that you may brick your device. Make sure there is no powercut to your computer during the rooting process if you are not using a laptop or a UPS for your system. You can post any queries or questions in the thread.
All credit goes to the original thread owners, social-design-concepts, workdowg for helping all yoga tablet users to be able to root their devices.
A lot of work has gone into making this NOOB friendly step by step guide. Hit thanks if this helps you. Much appreciated. Have fun rooting.☺

How can i make sure they are installed correctly ?
I have reinstalled them and tried again, but still getting the same error.
I am not getting the update Super SU option, or any options to get it installed.

@AndroMAN any idea why my 64gb sdcard is not recognized.

Step 8 and 9. Check under command prompt. It should show the name Baytrail***** when you type in the command "adb devices". Only then u can go ahead.

Hey i think i have the solution for your problem because everytime i am facing the same issue
That means at first adb drivers are shown as installed correctly within the window of the 'Intel Fastboot Tethered Temporary Recovery Session Launcher' tool. But after my tablet reboots into fastboot via method t4 it always says "No valid installer medium found".
Note: I have these adb drivers installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
So here is my solution that works for me: (this is my first post so i cant provide any screenshots.. )
1. let the tablet stay within the fastboot mode
2. in windows: navigate to the device manager --> there you should see the symbol "android phone" with a yellow triangle
3. right click on this symbol and choose the first option "update drivers" (sry i don't know if i translated it correctly xD)
4. choose the option "search on pc .."
5. there you select the second option "choose from a list.."
6. within the list you select 'android device'
7. within the next list you select 'google nexus adb device'
8. after that the drivers are installing and the recovery starts on your tablet :fingers-crossed:

Please help (need working unlock and root instructions)

I've been up and down the forums for two days trying every method and app and whatever else is recommended.
asus zenfone 2 laser
Z00TD (ZE551KL)
-i cannot unlock bootloader (Asus unlock tool does not work for any variant)
- cannot root with any one click app (assuming because bootloader is locked)
- cannot manually install drivers via any instructional method online. (They all seem to be 64 bit when I have a 32 bit machine) and there is no actual exe file to install anywhere that i can locate.
- cannot use windroid as it requires twrp (basically root) ....useless.
-cannot adb command unlock or root, does not recognize device (assuming because proper drivers are not installed)
I'm on the updated software version 1.16.40.763-20151201
Someone please give me a hint or some lead as to what I'm missing or where I'm going wrong.
Thanks in advance.

Download the adb-fastboot tool from here...:- Moderator EDIT PPC links are not allowed
Install it.. it will ask you for installing drivers also.. install them... Visit Asus.com and download the drivers for your device. . Now search for Device manager in Windows start menu. Click on Device Manager and then you will see a device named as Android or something like that... Right click on it.. then select update drivers... Then you will see two options 1). Check online 2. Browse my Pc for updated drivers.. select the 2nd one now browse the downloaded file of drivers and select it.. select the folder of files .(After unzipping the folder)...
Click on update.. now drivers will get installed.. now
Use Ctrl+shift+right click..(in adb folder mainly located in local disk c) and select open command Windows here. Enable the USB debugging option in developer options of your device.. At first it will ask for permissions. Alow it.. Now you can flash anything.. for further information ,if needed you can contact me..

I must be doing something wrong. Because I've done all of that. And the drivers don't install properly. I can get into fast boot and that's where it stops for me. The bootloader 20007.img code keeps failing.
I don't know. Something isn't right. I can't even unlock it with the Asus unlock tool. I've tried every one for every variant.

this might sound stupid, but try a different, better, usb cable.
I had a similar issue years ago, trying to flash my first android phone, windows would also give me device manager error. i beat my head on the wall for two days using the motorola supplied data cable, until on a whim i tried a different USB cable and everything worked.
