So I have a TF201 with AndroWook HairyBean v1.0 on it. I did my initial install on a different computer so I have never plugged in my transformer prime to this computer (I no longer have access to the other computer). I have tried installing the Universal Naked Drivers 0.7 in several different methods and none work.
When I plug in my tablet I get an "Unknown Device" prompt. I have tried everything to resolve this, including uninstalling and reinstalling all USB drivers, restarting, etc. and nothing has worked.
I have tried navigating to the drivers themselves to right click install and I get the message "The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation."
I have tired navigating to the "Unknown Device" in device manager and trying to force the installation of the drivers but I get the "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows x64-based systems."
This is on a Windows 7 64-bit Ult. All USB drivers are up to date. Any other suggestions before I throw my tablet at the wall?

I had this problem, turned out to be a faulty USB cable, try another one, maybe you could take your tablet to a sotre and ask if they can borrow you another cable and test it. Hope this helps.

Thanks. That is what I am hoping. I ordered one online (mine is starting to fall apart at the standard USB end anyways). I was getting desperate yesterday and tried flashing up to AndroWood HairyBean 1.2. It didn't help. I am now stuck without a recovery but access to fastboot so if it is just a cable problem I should be able to get it up and running, otherwise I may have just bricked my tablet.
So it was a faulty cable. Got a new one, can now see my device and was able to fastboot and push the AndroWood Hairybean update to it and we're all good now!
Glad to help.

I'm glad it worked! So do you have Hairybean 1.2? If so, could you tell if it has wifi ad-hoc support? Cause thats the only thing that's keeping me on ICS. Thanks.

People!, I'm about to pull all my hair out on this one
Vibrant is soft bricked in a boot loop after a incomplete flash, I am able to get it into download mode but both my windows machines say USB device isnot recognized, and thus, I cant use ODIN to return to stock. When I try to manually point windows to the samsung drivers I get nothing…
So far I have tried drivers from:
-Bay_wolf's AIO Vibrant Toolbox 2.5
-USB drivers for vibrant from samsung support site
-Drivers from samsung keyes
Side notes that might help: I was perviously using a Hellybean Rom. My device displays "Galaxy S gt-9000" on boot... not sure when that came to be but maybe some rom changed some important recognition stuff??...
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008383 but no help...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Try a different USB cable. This happens more than you'd think. Even cables that have worked just fine hundreds of times.
Also.... Locate the drivers in system/device manager and delete them manually and try to install them again. Unplug device and install fresh ones from either aio toolbox or Kies, then plug phone back in.
Best of luck!

Thanks a ton for reply but, sadly, no dice.
Tried connecting the phone, getting the "unrecognized device" prompt, finding "unknown device" in device manager, right clicking to uninstall. rebooting my machine, using various install methods to re-install drivers, re-connecting, and nothing.. same issue...
I lost the original cable a while back, but can't accept that NONE of the other 5 cables used are all broke... specially if the computer recognizes something going on... is it worth buying a new one?
Losing hope here, been like this for 4 days now, think it's time to go get a new phone. :crying:
Even so, it would have been nice to get what was a perfectly working phone back if only to keep it as a mp3 payer.
If anybody in New York, NY has a working odin set up that can do this for me, I have a 6 pack of your favorite beer with your name on it.
It could be a hardbrick such as bootloader getting corrupted that happened to my Sony Xperia Play (now an expensive paper weight).
I assume you boot into download mode by holding the two volume buttons, then connect the cable? Have you tried on a different PC? It can also be the weak powered USB port on the PC. Also when you uninstall the Samsung driver, check the option to also delete USB driver and uninstall any drivers. Also which version of the driver are you using, have you tried version Samsung USB Driver 1.5.3? And the drivers from here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-T959ZKATMB#
For what its worth, the gt i9000 screen appears after your on a custom GB boot loader and Odin back to stock (or probably Odin flashing any other ROM) you can change it by flashing the GB boot loader again. My phone says its a i9000 too, but I'm just about lazy enough to not bother changing it, lol.
So that's unrelated.

Ok, faith momentarily restored. But I have questions:
-What do you mean when you say "check the option to also delete USB driver and uninstall any drivers"? I dont get such a prompt from right clicking on "unknown device" and selecting uninstall? Is there another method to uninstalling drivers?
-In the link attached, I can only find "Device(Install),USB Driver (Software) (ver.1.0)" not the 1.5.3 version mentioned. What am i doing wrong here? currently searching google for the 1.5.3 but finding nothing.
I get into download mode by holding volume- up + power. Have 2 PCs ( win xp and win 7) and a mac running mountain lion (but never ever have been able to get Heimdall to work, so devoting time to odin.)
Thank you for the time + help, guys, I really do appreciate it in the time of utter un-nerdness.
If the device is already installed it will have a check box that said "Delete the driver software for this device." If its unknown then obviously not. By "uninstall any driver", I mean uninstall any Android drivers you current have installed and reboot before you reinstall the new driver.
Although I doubt it will make a difference than the one I linked above, you can try the Samsung driver version 1.5.3: http://www.mediafire.com/?r0uc3h413qcy80z
If you did manage to get into download mode and see this: http://images.google.com/search?num=10&hl=en&site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&q=download+mode
Then it mean there is a very good chance you can restore the phone, if you can find a computer to recognize it and Odin to see a COM port.
I definitely think it would be worth the money to go buy an OEM USB cord. I can't tell you how many times I have seen this and a new USB is the fix.
sent from the depths of helly bean
OK guys...
My friend, who also owns a Vibrant, let me borrow the cable that came with the phone for the last 2 days.
Tried to make ODIN work on both PCs at home, gave Heimdall a shot on my mac, even hijacked a computer at work for the better part of the morning and freshly installed USB drivers 1.5.3 before connecting. All for nothing... “Unknown device” across the board....
At first I felt that with being able to get into download and have SOME kind of a reaction from connecting to PC had to be a good sign. Almost completely convinced that there is some unknown, unworkable hardware problem present. Definitely, officially, unremarkably out of ideas here.
Nothing is beautiful and everything hurts.
Last thoughts? Options at this point?
Also, tried One-click Unbrick tool on mac. I got a "is your phone plugged in, is it on download mode?" error, but anyone reading this down the line with a similar problem should check it out.

Should I reinstall HTC Sync or something (I uninstalled it)? I'm lost. Can't think of anything to do. Shuffling around the drivers that come with the SDK doesn't help any - and my Windows 7 machine didn't have any of these issues. Too bad it's dead now

Alright, so you're going to want to have HTCSync installed, then after thats done, go to your device manager and select your device (not sure what it will be under, but it will have a (!) sign next to it). Download these drivers and use the "have disk" thing when looking for drivers in device manager. Make sure your DNA isn't plugged into a USB3 port, and then fastboot should work for you.

Ran into this yesterday. My computer ONLY has USB3 so I was unable to get it to work. Tried on a Win7x64 machine and did it first time no problem. Sigh...
Whoops, thought I posted this already... But yeah, that didn't fix the problem. Same two errors no matter what drivers I use.

I don't have any tips for you, other than to say that I've had fastboot work with my DNA on 2 different win 8 64 machines.
I *think* I got my drivers from HTCSync, and then uninstalled HTCSync, but not the drivers afterwards.
I did have problems with fastboot and adb when I was playing around with the CM10 build that is available here. Maybe try switching your rom and kernel?

I ran into the same exact issue on my win8 64-bit machine. luckily i have a couple usb2 ports and they work just fine. i wonder if using a usb hub that is compatible with usb2 or lower would work.
Did you try disabling driver signing in Windows 8 pretty sure thats the problem.
Here
Yeah you have to do that in order to install the universal driver or any other unsigned drivers - but once the drivers are installed you're good to go. No matter which drivers I pick I have this problem, I've tried probably 7 different ones.
Works fine on my Vista laptop but that things about to creak... Just used it to S-OFF and it took over an hour to turn on :crying:
EDIT: And for what it's worth, doesn't matter if it's a USB 3.0 or 2.0 - same error. Doesn't work on stock or on Cubed/Viper (though this is fastboot so kernel/ROM shouldn't have anything to do with 'em).
Hello all I recently received a bricked prime from a noob who did not know what they were doing. I tried the method Option 1A from the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514088. As I am unable to boot. Here is what happens and what I have tried.
The tablet turns on and goes straight into recovery, I attempted to run the adb commands from the above thread to no avail, because adb can not detect the device, I have installed the naked drivers for the device on my windows machine with no luck either, windows says Unknown Device, unable to start.
There are no additional roms on the sd card to attempt to install one, I am not sure how to place a rom onto the tablet in recovery or through the pc.
Thanks for any help in advance

Sometimes windows saying Unknown Device and you can't install naked drivers is a faulty cable. It will still charge but give the symptoms you describe.
Try borrowing a cable or get a cheap one off eBay to eliminate cable.

You were right the cable did do the trick, windows recognizes it as "transformer" begins to install something, and when I check in device manager, it shows up as Transformer, but it has an error 28 no driver installed, it asked me to update, I tried to manually update to the naked adb interface driver and it gives me error code 10 device cannot start.
Fixed thanks again for the help.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD app

-usb debugging on/off with mtp»no difference
-factory reset(4.04 currently)
-Uninstall and reinstall drivers
All in all windows does not recognize this tablet for me. I just bought this tablet,
Something im doing wrong?
The tab charges fine via wall charger
I just want to put files on this tablet with windows via usb.
Please help me sort this out.
Have you tried plugging in the tablet with the drivers being uninstalled? It may work. I've had this problem before but I had Kies installed on the pc and all I had to do was update the program.

My Windows 7 64 bit system has no problems recognizing my P7510.
The only times when I've seen that error (unrecognized device) is when the cable I was using was bad. I wasted several days fighting that.
The only other suggestion is to plug in the tablet, then bring up the device manager. Right click on the failed device and choose "Uninstall". Disconnect, then remove Kies, remove the drivers, then reinstall Kies and the drivers. Maybe that'll get it recognized.
Hey!
This is my first time posting, but I have read tons of threads on here over the last year or so with my Droid DNA.
A while ago, I rooted my DNA, and unlocked the Bootloader, and used moonshine for S-OFF. I now want to undo all that I have done. Wiping data is no issue, I backed up all my info. I plan to get a new phone soon. Basically, I can't get adb drivers to work. So I deleted my drivers, and installed the ones mentioned in the thread linked below, and I can't find how to get these drivers to work.
My plan is to follow this thread, using step 3 (for moonshine). I have TWRP installed, and flashed the lock_bootlader.zip file provided there. I cannot get adb to work, however, for the next step. For example, "adb devices" returns no devices. And thus i cannot use adb commands. When I run "adb devices", it shows this. What do I do??
Thanks
Some more clarification:
I might also add that Device manager shows my phone as "HTC6435LVW", under "Portable Devices". It seems to recognize it as an MTP Device when I try to update the drivers, and won't let me update the drivers, because "The best driver software for your device is already installed".
In addition, HTC Sync Manager does not recognize my phone either. I should mention that I already chose "Reset Phone" from the Settings menu, and then also did a Factory Reset from TWRP.
I'm so confused by all this - Why can't I get ADB to recognize it?? I have been and will continue to be searching for solutions to this problem here on XDA and also on Google. And do I even need to do all this to give my phone back to Verizon?
Try getting the drivers from PDAnet. If you are using Windoze 8 or 8.1 , good luck.

I tried that, it gets stuck at the USB Driver Installation page, when it asks to connect your phone. I have USB debugging enabled, and I even installed PdaNet on my phone to try to use their "USB Mode". The DNA has not USB options for Mass Storage, etc like the pdanet driver help page ( pdanet . co / driver ) (It wont let me post a link because I'm a new user, sorry) tells me to look for.
Windows device manager does not recognize it as an Android phone, but instead as a portable device, could this be a problem?
