Prime soft brick, ADB not recognizing tablet. - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I was just wiping my tablet to get it ready to turn in to best buy so they can exchange me for the Infinity, and I'm just doing my final data wipes of the tablet and I chose to wipe it from the settings menu. Since I'm rooted and have CWM Recovery, when I wiped, the tablet was probably looking for the stock recovery and won't boot back into the ROM anymore it just continually boots back into recovery. I followed the unbrick guide in the Dev section. But only issue is that. ADB won't recognize my prime. Also, I have nothing in my internal storage, so I can't flash a ROM...
Any advice?

Try installing universal naked drivers on the PC and try ADB again.

Ok, I'll try that. Thanks for the reply!

I ran into the issue...took me 3 days to get my PC to recognize the prime....tried universal drivers, 3 different computers...and then one day it magically appeared

Dang, well hopefully I can fix it before my mom leaves to Chicago on Friday. (I'm passing down my Prime to her since she got me the Nexus 7)
Thanks for the info though!

So i tried to work on my prime earlier today, and i drained my battery on purpose (it only had like 20% left)
And when I went to power it on after charging it for like 20 minutes, it does not turn on. The only feedback I get is the LED on the power button blinking 3 times.

I had the same thing happen to me. Once you get your drivers installed and adb recognizes it you'll be fine. Its literally a 5 minute fix. What recovery are you running btw?
Edit. Saw in op you're running CWM.

Now, when I do get the drivers installed and ADB does recognize my Prime, what commands do need to type? I'm assuming "adb push" and push a ROM? I'm not that great with ADB
Sent from my Rooted Nexus 7 using xda premium

Yea, the command is
Adb push directorywhereromislocated\rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip
You may have to use /system/data if you get an error though
Also, i put the rom @ C:\ because for some reason, it wouldn't push from the adb folder, so my command looked like this
adb push C:\rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip
Edit: If you're using windoze

Save yourself a lot of grief, put the rom in the same folder on the computer as your adb.exe is, this eliminates the need to put in the proper path. So then it is adb push [name of rom].zip /sdcard/
or
adb push [name of rom].zip /sdcard/media/
If this is the first time you are trying this, I would suggest trying to push a small text file first, this way you are not wait 5 minutes to find out it failed.
Note do not use the brackets, and for ease of use, right click the rom file, go to properties and copy the name of the file then right click and paste it in the command window, this way you won't mistype it.
Also proper use of the cmmand window is go to the folder where adb.exe is, press and hold the shift button then right click in the window and select open command propmt here.

[Q] Most strange issue after flashing TntMod(0.4)

Hey guys,
I have some problem with my Folio (surprised?).
I flashed a lot of Roms on it but the last time when i flashed the TntMod something went wrong...
The flash was smooth but on the second reboot my Tablet storage seems bricked and when I tried to flash another Rom I noticed that my recovery came back to stock (before i had CWM).
It doesn't matter to me.
But when I try to flash something (recovery, gapps, another rom, update of tntmod, partition table exc) it doesn't work: it prints a lot of errors such as "E: can't mout CACHE: recovery/log" or similiar and then "installation aborted".
So, i tried to do that with fastboot but adb (and fastboot script also) don't recognize the tablet thought windows recognize the devices like "ADB device" (I installed the adb drivers before).
Maybe it's because the Tntmod doesn't keep the settings about Debugging mode (everytime i reboot the Folio i find this set disabled, USB mass storage doesn't work and windows doesn't recognize ADB interface thought Debugging mode is on ).
The icing on the cake is that i red somewhere about bootloader mode and now my screen is totally black (neither toshiba logo ) and windows recognizes it like "APX"... I found nvflash utility and driver (oh my god Folio is recognized by dos script O_O it's incredible!) but when i launch a command nvflash says: "Nvflash started".... End, nothing else happen...
So, any suggestion about some (or every) of these problem? =\
Please start with the way to exit from the bootloader mode (APX) =\
up is quiet urgent

I saw the Dexter 3d where he had a problem like mine.
Another user dumped the bct for him but i'm not understanding how i can use that partitiontable..
Oh...that's the problem. You lost partitions on your device. You need to reflash them with Nvflash but, I said before, I'm not familar with Nvflash, sorry.

How do I put a ROM on my phone SD Card if it doesn't boot up?

In the excitement of wanting to try out Sense 5.0, I did what was suggested and flashed the "Beastmode" Kernel.
After flashing, my current rom (Viper DNA) stopped booting. It's in a constant bootloop now.
I wasn't prepared and didn't place the new Rom that I wanted to flash on my SD Card (because it was still downloading.)
Now, the only backup and the Rom I have on my SD Card is ViperDNA, which won't boot.
How do I mount my USB and push the file onto my phone from my computer, when it doesn't boot?
Use adb push romfile.zip

That's exactly what I was thinking but at what point do I plug the phone in?
I've tried:
-the phone completely off - and the "adb devices" isn't detecting my phone.
-in recovery - not detecting my phone.
So when do I plug it in, as in as what screen?
In fastboot, "fastboot devices" seems to be working fine.

You do it in recovery, you may need to turn on the adb service depending on which recovery your using.

I'm using Clockword v6.0.2.7 (The touch one).
How do I turn on "adb service"? I'm not even quite sure what that means.

update to the newer CWM recovery 6.0.2.8
Okay, I finally got it mounted and now ADB is recognizing the device.
Now, how exactly do I push it to my SDCard location?
As far as I understand, I tried:
adb push C:\AndroidSDK\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\Sense_5.0_Beta_.signed.zip
but it's not appearing on my SD Card.
Am I supposed to tell it WHERE to be pushed to?
If so, what is that?
Edit:
I did
adb push C:\AndroidSDK\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\Sense_5.0_Beta_.signed.zip /sdcard/Sense_5.0_Beta_.signed.zip
And I THINK it's pushed. (took forever)
However, I don't see it on my phone SD card through recovery.
Where did it get pushed to??
Isn't that what sideloading in CWM does, or is it different?

You pushed it directly to the root of the sdcard... In the recovery just scroll down till you see it

ADB - Device Offline

Hello all
I was trying to get S-OFF, but my phone is not being recognized as online in ADB. I'm almost positive that I have the correct drivers, etc installed because I had no problem rooting it/being recognized in fastboot. But when I do ' adb devices ' it shows the phone, but says offline. I've done kill server, start server... I've updated everything in the sdk... Debugging is on... I'm completely lost and don't know what to do.
Thanks

Before you responded, I manually rebooted to recovery to make a back up, then rebooted back to system. Now when I do "adb devices" it shows the device and says "device", is this what I'm looking for?
Also, I did the "adb reboot recovery" and noting happens.... The cursor moves to next line and just blinks. Nothing more. The phone doesn't reboot.
Thanks
It should output the device serial number when you type "adb devices".

Strange. I've never seen the offline message in ADB before
You are booted into your ROM when trying to run ADB, correct?

I finally got it working; the problem was (apparently) the ROM... I was using RageLTE, but I restored a backup of Stock w/Goodies and everything was fine.
Unfortunately, It looks like my firmware is too new(?) and I can't use LazyPanda, and DirtyRancun has dropped support for Windows 8/64, so I guess I'll have to try the Live CD route....
Now im understanding, I have the same problem with Rage. I think i posted somewhere in that thtead. Didnt expierience it on any otber sense rom.

Update Your Android
I was having this same problem with Cyanogenmod 10.1 (a.k.a. JellyBean 4.2.2). I figured out that I had an older install of the Android SDK. I updated it, then unplugged and replugged my USB cable. The device prompted me with something like "is it okay to accept ADB from this computer?" I told it yes and now I can see my device in adb devices output again.
i have the same problem
tried but nothing happened
i guess i have problem in rom

[Q] PC doesn't recognize phone in fastboot

Hey
so my computer, running Win7Pro x64, is not recognizing my phone (HTC DNA verizon) in fastboot mode. it can see it in ADB both in android and recovery.
i'm trying to either follow moonshine or rumrunner to get my phone to go into s-off so that i'll be able to install the ROM i want.
little back story -
my daughter (11 months) was playing with a baby app and got into the phone settings and somehow made it so the notification bar was gone (though the settings still said it should be there) and also made it so the UI kept crashing. i tried reinstalling my ROM didn't correct it so i reset bask to factory. it got it back up and working
at this point i noticed there is an update for my ROM and so i went to install it and it got stuck at the boot screen. so i followed some tips from a guy in the ROM thread and sideloaded stock so i can attempt to go s-off. this is where i am now.
i'm not sure why fastboot is not working correctly. anyone have any ideas?

Windows 8.1 broke the fastboot drivers. AFAIK there is no workaround or fix. Use another computer.
Update... you can go back to windows 8.0 by going to >settings >change pc settings, then I think it's the middle option to restart system and saves your files. This got me back to windows 8.0 and now my fastboot drivers work again.

[Q] Driver Issues

I've searched and not found anyone with my exact issue so please forgive if this redundant.
I am unlocked and s-off with CWM v6.0.4.5. I've been on CM11 nightlies and unable to get my pc to see the phone(vista 32bit). I flashed back to CM10.2 and could then see the phone in windows. I wanted to install CM11 again with a clean start so I moved Rom and gapps to the pc and wiped and formated EVERYTHING in CWM intending to then sideload CM. Now I cannot get my pc to see the phone at all. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling HTC sync, tried different usb cables and ports and tried a different computer(windows 7 64bit) all to no avail.
Are there any tricks that can be done with drivers to make the pc see the phone or is there any other way for me to get files back on the phone. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. I probably should have clarified that there is not a bootable rom on the device. The device has the bootloader and recovery and nothing else on it at all. To farther clarify, my pc does see my device as HTC6435LVW, it simply won't find the drivers even though they are installed and when I type "adb devices" in a command prompt it doesn't find my phone. Also tried putting the phone into fastboot and searching for "fastboot devices" and nothing comes up that way either.
