So, apparently I need to install a few drivers for rooting this. The one set of instructions I got is to enable USB debugging and then find a device called "ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface" with an exclamation mark in Windows Device Manager. Trouble is no such device exists. I plugged in the TFP with USB debugging!
What to do?
What version of Windows are you running? Do you have Asus sync? If so can you see the Prime as a storage device when connected via USB?
It can show up as various items depending on which driver version and the actual text string in the .inf file. Have you tried having device manager already open and watch it to see what ( if anything) changes as you connect the prime? It can appear as a device under the "android phone" heading or as other things... plug it in whilst watching device manager update, let us know what is added to the list and maybe we can help...
Sent from my transformer prime which is currently transformed into a small bowl of petunias
I downloaded the file for the eee pad Pc suite but it wont run & get the software, it fails with internet connection error
As anyone got a direct link to the suite .exe or know how to fix the 35okb file whats meant to fetch it from asus servers?
I have the same problem!
Please anyone?
We need a help!
I was having the same issue of getting the internet connection error when trying to install pc suite. The solution that worked for me (which I found in a post in the asus tramsformer 101 forum here) was to download the asus sync and splashtop program from the asus web site and install both. The third part of the suite can be downloaded from the asus webstorage web site. www asuswebstorage com .
I'm working on installing Ubuntu to my prime using the thread i linked below, but for part of that i need to go into my prime via desktop Ubuntu command line. The issue i'm having is that when i plug into my desktop using the USB cable, Ubuntu won't recognize my Prime and i can't move files back and forth.
The thread says to install the naked drivers (which i downloaded), but the instructions were only for windows machines. From what I can tell Ubuntu doesn't have a "Device Manager" where I could use to manually install drivers.
I've done Google searches, and searched XDA for the past week or so and I haven't come across anyone having this similar issue while using Ubuntu. If anyone can shed some light on my situation I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

Try uninstalling the drivers from your machine then reinstalling the basic Asus drivers by plugging the Prime in. If that doesn't do it then I'll have to load up my Ubuntu parition and see if I can debug with you that way.

In my experience, you do not need to download any drivers to access your Prime from an Ubuntu PC -- the naked drivers are strictly a Windows thing from what I remember. You need to set up the 51-android.rules file in the /etc/udev/rules folder. And, you may or may not need to make an entry in adb_usb.ini (I believe this file is in a hidden folder) -- try it without first. If you do a little research on 51-android.rules, you will see that this is quite easy. And, the vendor and device numbers you need to plug into 51-android.rules can be obtained by typing lsusb at the terminal command line, with your Prime plugged into the PC. You also need to have debugging turn on under Developer Options in Settings. After you change the 51-android.rules file, you need to log off and log back on, so it gets run (there is another way to run it, but I do not remember how). I am away from my Prime and Ubuntu machine, but can get you further details later, if you cannot figure it out from the above information.
(P.S.) Giving you the path and file names from my memory. They are probably correct ... at least they are very close to being correct.
So, I wrote the 51-android.rules file like you suggested but I still can't access most files on my prime. When I tell it to connect as a camera i can view picutres, but when it connects as MTP I still get nothing.I looked in the /dev directory to see if i could find my SD card to continue on with the Ubuntu installation, but no luck there either.Your suggestions have been helping though, i'm getting closer. Thanks to both of you who replied so far.

51-android.rules is really for giving you access to your TFP with adb and other Linux commands in Terminal (Android Debugging must be enabled under Developer Options for this to work). 51-android.rules has nothing to do with PTP (camera) or MTP, as far as I know. I really do not know what you are trying to do, or at least how you are trying to do it, so it is difficult to suggest anything. If you are just trying to copy files to the TFP, you may have better luck with Windows than Linux. I'm pretty sure that most of the TFP's file system does not show up in the Linux File Browser, when plugged in to a USB port (only PTP & MTP work, as far as I know ... both are limited).
There are many users on this site who can help you, if you explain exactly what you are trying to do.
I got a Kobo arc 7hd today and everything worked fine, until I wanted to connect to the Win 7 32 computer, which had no problem finding an Asus Memo Pad..
Turns out the driver does not do it. Device Mangers sees it, but says device cannot start.
Where can I find a driver for this tablet?
Thanks
I wanted to attach the screenshots, but it is not possible???
