So I installed "Hairybean 2.3 (4.2.1) Bootloader & Recovery.zip" onto my TF201 Transformer Prime but like a complete noob I left the ""Hairybean 2.3.zip" ROM itself off the internal storage. Now the tablet won't boot to get the ROM copied over. Even better, the microSD port on the tablet was previously hosed by my brother hammering in a card practically sideways.
How in the world do I get the ROM accessible to the tablet, or get the hairybean bootloader removed? How bad off am I?

While you are in TWRP you have access to ADB.
Make sure you have the drivers installed (look in device manager if there is an exclamation there or if you have a device)
Then you would need adb on your pc and put the rom.zip in the same folder as it and do adb push romname.zip /sdcard/
You should then be able to access the rom from the internal when it has finished copying.
There is an ASUS Android Devices\Android ADB Device listed under Device Manager, but when I try adb push "Hairybean 2.3.zip" /sdcard/ I get an "error: device not found".
I'd actually tried this earlier and forgot to mention it in the original post, add it to my big list of boneheadedness. What obvious bit am I missing here?

type adb devices and tell me what output you get.
Sorry, yet another thing I should have listed. adb devices comes back with "list of devices attached" then a blank line. So I'm definitely doing something wrong.
Here is the adb and fastboot I use and also a link to the drivers.
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22962010882834442
OK downloaded both, when I pointed windows at this driverset the tablet now shows as "ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface". Extracted the ADB-Fastboot file and ran adb devices again, same result (no device listed).
Now what am I doing wrong? I feel like every single step I take I run into another catch-22.

Try restarting the PC.. If still broke try a different USB port. Preferably one on the back.
Multiple reboots and trying every USB port on my rig proved fruitless.
So I punted and moved this process over to a win7 laptop (was working on a Win8 desktop, if it matters) that had never been connected to the tablet, started fresh.
adb devices sees the device!
adb push "Hairybean 2.3.zip" /sdcard/ successfully completed copying the file over!
Starting the install now. Thank you so very much for the assist, I'd hit so many roadblocks I was about to surrender!

No problem mate. Glad you got it sorted :good:

Thanks to a good link from Vanto to read here is the instructions as to how I got it to work,
This solved it for Winblows 7 64 bit. For others having the same problem on Winblows 7 64 bit (should be the same for 32 bit miuns the X86 Directory)
1. Go into settings on the prime and make sure USB debugging has a check in it in under SYSTEM > Developer options > USB Debugging
2. Plug your prime into your Winblows 7 laptop and let it install its drivers. Open up device manager by going to Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > and click on device manager under devices and printers. If you see at the top of device manager ASUS Android devices and when you expand it you see ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface you already have the ADB drivers installed and can skip down to #6
3. Go to ASUS website and download the USB drivers for the TF201. Download Vipermod Primetime 4.6 here for the ADB drivers http://goo.im/devs/viperboy/Prime/viperMOD_PrimeTime_v4.6.zip then extract the zip file to a normal file. You only need the drivers from the tool.
4. Plug your prime into your Winblows 7 laptop and let it install its drivers. Open up device manager by going to Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > and click on device manager under devices and printers.
5. You should see the prime listed under portable devices. Uninstall the driver then update the driver manually. Browse to the folder you created from the Vipermod primetime zip. Make sure there is a check in check sub folders. Winblows should detect the drivers and then convert the prime to a ASUS Android Device.
6. Go into settings on the prime and make sure there is no check in Launch ASUS Sync under PERSONAL > Accounts & Sync > Launch ASUS Sync
7. Press Control, Shift, Escape at the same time and make sure there are no instances of ASUS Sync or Splashtop runnung in services in Winblows 7.
8. Download and Install the latest Android SDK. I installed all the libraries and such just to be on the safe side. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
9. DISCONNECT YOUR PRIME FROM THE USB AND REBOOT YOUR PRIME AND YOUR WINBLOWS LAPTOP. After both devices reboot plug in your tablet into your Winblows laptop.
10. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools and click on the ADB file. A command prompt will open and spool up a bunch of stuff then close. All the stuff spooling I am assuming was the ADB server starting.
11. Hold down shift then right click inside platform-tools folder and select open command prompt here. You should be in a command prompt window showing the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
12. type adb devices. You should see your primes serial number pop up.
13. make a test file in the platform-tools directory, i just used a simple text file to test then type:
adb push test.txt /sdcard/
It would be easier to just put the Rom you are going to flash in this directory so when it is time to push the rom it would be:
adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/
If SDCARD not recognized try:
adb push nameofrom.zip /system/media/
14. browse to your sdcard and you should see your file there. If you are already in the sdcard folder window on your prime, leave the folder then come back and it should be there.
15. You should be able to push files now after superwiping. You may need to push to /system/media/ if /sdcard/ is not found. Make sure you have all the / in the directory structure when pushing.
16. From inside recovery select install zip from sdcard and browse to the folder you pushed it to then flash away.
If anything seems incorrect or out of order please let me know so I can correct it. If this helps you congrats but if not I'm sorry. This is how I got it to work.
As you have stated that prior to your windows re-install, everything had worked, thus I highly doubt that this could be the issue... but just to double check, you do have usb debugging enabled, right?
If you can, connect your transformer prime, and try executing {install directory}/android/platform-tools/adb.exe -devices and let us know what kind of output you get.

OK looking for a little help here. I am planning on doing the Super mega wipe in the dev section however ADB has not recognized my prime. I wanted to verify I could push to it a test file before I did the wipe. Under device manager it shows the whole Asus ADB interface device and that the device is "working properly" I also have a listing down in portable media devices where it states Transformer TF201. I have disabled Asus sync and do not have splashtop. When I connect my prime I can explore the internal SD and copy files back and forth over USB. I have also installed and updated the latest Android SDK. I am at a total loss here. I recently did a fresh install of windows and beforehand it used to work. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance :cyclops:

make sure your adb files are the most updated once,
i had this problem before but thats just cause my adb was not updated
I recently battled with this and concluded that adb just doesn't work on Windows 64bit for the TFP. My advice, try to find an XP pc and do it through that. I posted in Prime_Full_Wipe thread in Dev section about this.
Wasted several hours trying to get adb to see the device. Tried so many device drivers.... Latest adb versions etc....

Mine did too when I unlocked but once I had a custom rom on it, it stopped working. I think the driver gets messed up by the custom rom making the pc see the TFP as something different to an Asus TFP.....

Before yesterday when powering up my nook tablet I would get the "Installing factory Software...Do not Turn off your device" but immediately after I would get the error message "Please contact nook support." Now my nt just turns off after powering on and displaying the n screen. I have absolutely no clue what is wrong with my tablet or what steps to follow in order to fix it. I would greatly appreciate any input from the knowledgeable members here to point me in the right direction in terms of what procedures need to be followed. Thanks

Okay! Step one, you need to make a bootable CWM card.
Get yourself a microSD card, format it, and copy the files from HERE (download, unzip to your SD card).
Power your NT completely down, plug in the card, and then plug in the USB cable.
You should boot to a "cardboard" box screen.
After that, its going to boot into CWM recovery. Now you're not going to have alot of tools on the card at this point, but you may see some errors about stuff not being able to be mounted, etc.
Once you've got that done, post back here, and also include any errors you see!
From there, we can try to figure out exactly what's gone wrong, and the best approach to fix it.
--Also! Include the information about your NT, Is it rooted? What firmware or Rom? Other than powering up, what had you done (If anything) previously before the error!
^ Thanks for your quick reply!
As I wrote in my first post I'm a complete noob when it comes to rooting or hacking any devices. I have not once tried rooting my NT. What I did do though in order to have android as an option on my tablet is buy one of those Nook2Android cards. Now I think I may have accidentally pressed Format SD card or something like that when trying to do something else. That's all that I can think of that I may have done to cause the error.
I'm going to try and make the bootable CWM card right now. I'll make sure to report back!
lag0matic,
I now have a bootable CWM card.
So when I boot into CWM I get this error:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
What needs to be done now? Thanks

Erf. Okay, you've managed to bork your partitions.
Lets hope this goes easily!
First, lets get Parted (and some other tools) on your CWM recovery card.
Download this file here then unzip them to the root of your CWM Sd card.
Then you need to get ADB up and installed.
I used This forum to get the drivers, however, I couldnt get ADB to work right off the bat.
I'll copy/paste the steps I used and helped others get ADB runnng.
First, google this application: Usbdeview
Download the appropriate one for your system.
Unplug all USB mass storage devices (USB HDD's, Card readers, Memory sticks, etc)
Run USBDeview, delete anything Google, Android, Nook, Barnes and Noble, and Mass storage.
Reboot.
Open device manager
Run the "Runmefirst" or whatever its called from the ADB directory
Plug in your NT.
Go to device manager - look for a broken driver on the tablet, and tell it to install the drivers (you may have to use "have disk" and point to the usb driver directory)
This should install the driver for your NT.
You may also need to edit a file in the .android directory, at the root of your windows username folder.
in which case, drop to a command prompt and type
echo 0x2080 > %username%\.android\adb_usb.ini
after that, switch to the directory you unziped the ADB files to (I used C:\ntroot) and try to connect to your NT by typing "adb devices"
you _should_ see something like
1234567890 Recovery
Or
000000000 Recovery
Now, once you see one of the above messages
in the same command promt window enter the follwing commands
adb shell
mount /sdcard/
cd /sdcard/
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
you'll then get a prompt that looks like
(parted)
type "print"
and hopefully you'll see a few errors, and it will ask you to fix them, choose fix for both.
Once you get this far (Or, if you run into troubles) post again and i'll see what I can do for you!
(I have successfully un-bricked my NT, but I did it in a way I want to avoid fo you, as we want yours to run stock roms)

^ wow.... that is exactly what i got after the second time my unit barfed.
can you right click on the "omap4430" entry in the device manager and update the drivers by pointing to the folder that has the "nook drivers" folder in the adb + driver + fast zip file?
I imagine you will get a error telling you the drivers are not for this device.
Question to you, did you happen to try formatting the "internal sdcard" ?
@ Lag0matic. this is what killed my unit *dead* today. but it only occured *after* using the 2.3.7 memory managers (not rom-manager) to format the SDcard and the internal SDcard...

The good news is I have now installed the drivers! My NT under Android Phone appears as Android Composite ADB Interface in Device Manager.
Sadly,though, after getting this far it seems adb still does not recognize my device?
After imputing "adb devices" in cmd in the directory containing the adb files what I get is:
List of devices attached
I don't know if I have missed a step or did one incorrectly.

couple different things to try
#1
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
try this a couple times. my nook did not get hooked until i did this 2,3 times
#2 with the unit booted from cwm recovery *on the sd card*, reboot windows while leaving the device plugged in.
once back in windows try the adb devices command again.
failing that you are where i was. but at least you can get into cwm, mine ceased booting from sd entirely. heres a thought and a test. can you make the bootable-apla SD card and still use the nook via sd card only? or does it freeze up... ?

i have had that happen a few times and the problem was that my drivers were not installing correctly. sure it appeared as android adb composite device, but it most likely installed the wrong driver for the wrong device.
this is where things get a bit complicated because you need to look for the product and vendor id's for the nook tablet and modify them correspondingly in the android_winusb.inf.
also make sure you execute the runmefirst.bat
that creates a .android folder in your user folder. that was the step i kept missing when i had your problem with the drivers... ironic right? "runmefirst" and i run it last haha...
Hi guys,
EDIT: See the last posts - I have figured this out, and tried to include helpful information, if you are having this problem too.
Firstly please accept my apologies if this has been answered already. I have searched the forum, and the Internet, and cant find specific instructions, or a guide that I can follow with any success.
I stupidly deleted system files from my Kindle, but now I have purchased a fastboot cable, and I'am able to get it into fastboot mode.
I have correctly installed the ADB Drivers, and the device is now recognized by my Windows 7 Device Manager. It shows 'Android ADB Interface'.
I would guess that I need to flash the entire Kindle, but I'm unsure of how to do this, as I cannot seem to access the device at all. It currently loops when booting, giving me no time to see it as external storage via My Computer.
Please would someone more versed in this, guide me specifically through how to get myself back up and running again? I would be forever greatful.
I have SDK and JDK installed, but do not have the knowledge I need to learn how to use them properly.
Thanks so much in advance.

You definitely need the fastboot cable to push files through the ADB Interface dude. You can buy one for dirt cheap on EBay. Then all you do is simply plug it into your PC and Kindle, and it should put the Kindle straight into Fastboot mode.
Then you need to install the ADB Drivers for the Kindle.
From there, I'm stuck I'm afraid.

OK，I think I'm gonna get one and give it a try. the only way to fix this brick is in the ADB Interface I'm sure. though I also don't know How to do.
I've finally figured out how to get ADB up and running, and how to start command prompt. I found this link helpful:
developer.amazon.com/public/resources/development-tools/ide-tools/tech-docs/05-setting-up-your-kindle-fire-tablet-for-testing
If anyone needs help pushing files through ADB, I recommend that link!
Do the following to detect your Kindle Fire tablet through ADB:
Open a command prompt window.
Change directory to your Android SDK platform-tools directory. - To do this, find out where SDK is installed on your PC. Copy the path.
Type cd in command prompt, then space, then paste the directory path. EG, C:\Users\Administrator\sdk\platform-tools
Hit enter, and the command line will change to read C:\Users\Administrator\sdk\platform-tools.
Run the following commands and confirm that the serial number for your Kindle Fire tablet appears in the list of devices.
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
Then follow the rest of the guide. I think all you need to to do, is push a system update through, by putting the file in the tools folder of SDK. This should make the device update, and put back any critical system files that you had previously deleted.
Now I'm just having issues with it finding the device, so I'm going to charge the Kindle for a few hours, and then try it again.

In command prompt, there is an ADB push command, so I think all you do is type that, then the path of the file.
To list all the commands you can use, change command prompt to your platform-tools folder within SDK, type ADB in command prompt, and it will give you all the options.
You'll need to unzip the update file first I think.

Working with the HDX 8.9.
I think I have deleted some of the system files also. I was reloading a safestrap backup and rebooted but the backup had failed to complete. I don't know what may be missing from the system files and would like to push the system files onto the device.
Right now I get a gray kindlefire screen for about 90 seconds, during which I have adb access, then it goes to the color kindlefire screen and asks if I want to Restore to Factory Defaults or reboot. I finally subjected it to the Restore to Factory Defaults, but that just wiped the cache and data partitions, I don't see where it did anything to the system files. It did not change my adb access.
In adb I can push files to some locations but others say: failed to copy ....: Read-only file system.
I cannot run shell commands
# adb shell
soinfo_link_image(linker.cpp:1617): could not load library "/vendor/lib/libNimsWrap.so" needed by "/system/bin/sh"; caused by load_library(linker.cpp:745): library "/vendor/lib/libNimsWrap.so" not foundCANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE
I was working in Windows 8.1 but have switched to Suse Linux but the results are the same so far.
I have the stock system files but I am not sure how to push them to the device, if it can be done, while the device is trying to reboot.
fastboot
I can put the HDX in Fastboot mode with the adb command. But when I try to pass commands to the HDX I get:

and I have to Ctrl-c to stop the process.
Do the fastboot commands only work if you have a fastboot cable???

hey there,
I am currently trying to do a factory reset / wipe my data from my Sony Xperia Z3.
The screen is unresponsive and blacked out after I dropped the device, the phone itself however is still working.
windows:
I had managed to copy data from my SD card a few weeks ago on win7 - however after I updated my PC to win10, the device does not show up any more for some reason. On my girlfriends PC (running win7), the device is shown, but does not contain any file structure (no files & folders displayed). When I run "adb devices", I get the "attached is a list of devices" like response, but without my phone being shown.
OSX:
I am now trying to do the factory reset via ADB on my macbook (since I could not get it to work on win7/win10).
I have installed Android SDK including ADB. However, when I type "adb devices" in the terminal, I get the response "-bash: adb: command not found". I should get something like "attached is a list of devices" though.
I am a novice to OSX, so maybe I am doing something wrong, but I don't know what. I included a screenshot of my installation.
If someone could help me getting access to my device through ADB, that would be great.
Thanks a lot!
Hello,
I rooted my Hisense Sountab MA-327 and changed some issues in the builds.prop (before I backup-ed this file first). There was no result for what I was doing after a successful restart, so I copied the backup file back to the system folder. After I restart the device, the system hangs in the boot. I tried to login with ADB to see whats went wrong, but I can can not find a good USB driver for this device. Can some please help me? The device is no useless.
- Is there a good USB driver for the Hisense SoundTab MA-327?
- What do I need the get in the system (ADB tools)?
- Or ... is there a flash/firmware for the Hisense Soundtab MA-327 somewhere available?
I really hope some can help me out.
Thanks in advance

Some please!
What I understood:
You are stuck in a bootloop because you edited the build.prop file, luckily, you made a backup and you know what adb is, and, hopefully, you know how to use it.
How do we solve it?
Well, I need some more information, can you boot into recovery or boot into fastboot mode? If you can, we can make your backup build.prop file active and if that doesn't work, we can just reflash stock ROM, everything will be wiped if you flash stock ROM though.
Hi RAZERZDAHACKER,
Thanks for your help. Yes I can boot into recovery/boot mode (android robot with sign and even can see the menu (Volume + Start). I tried to make an USB connection, but I can not find any driver for this device. Under XP I find a good USB driver, but then ADB want install, in Windows 7 or 10 its the opposite. And even with some not good driver, I see with the command "adb devices": No access, and then 1234567890ABCDEF. Can not find any driver. If possible its no problem to reflash stock ROM, but I do not know how to do this.
I appreciate your help.

Thanks for replying, you can boot into recovery which is probebly the most vital thing of this whole process (YaY), in recovery, there should be an option called "apply update from adb", if not, kindly name the options. When you click it, what happens in adb? From my experience you don't need drivers to acces "adb sideload" (as the feature is called).
Yes I see the option.
--------
Now send the package you want to apply
to the device with "adb sideload <filename>" ....
---------
I made the backup build.prop earlier to /sdcard on the device. Maybe that was not a good idea.
Oke whats the next step?

Oh, I thought you had it on the pc, I am not sure but can you do "adb sideload /sdcard/build.prop /system"?

That don't work. I get the help of adb when I give the command string. Do not know how this will work with a USB connection. How should Windows and adb know when to get the input from?
when i try adb usb, it start the daemon , but then error: closed
adb devices -> 0123456789ABCDEF sideload
Oke maybe a reflash stock ROM. How does this work?
Again I appreciate all your help.

You get error closed because you're in sideload, I realized that you can't move files in adb sideload. If you want to flash stock ROM, download this and move it to the adb folder and type "adb sideload nameoftheimg.img".
Hope that helps

I will try that of course, but the same image I previously put on SDCARD, inserted it in the bay and dis an update from external drive. Then a message came that hardware was not compatible with the update. I can not find a flash for MA-327 and (again) not for the USB driver. But I will try what you suggest.
I get the error: cannot read 'MA347ENMEG3EV02.img'
Image is 1.744.423.512 size

If you have a sdcard that is large enough for the image (minimum 4gb) you can download win32diskimager. Open win32diskimager and select the .img file. Then, connect your sdcard to your pc and format it to fat32. Then locate it on win32diskimager and write the file. This will take a very long while so please be patient. Once it's done, put it in the hisense and attempt to boot. The android "bios" will go through all the nand memory for a bootable image but since that wont work, it will proceed to check external devices (as far as I know) and once it sees the bootable sdcrad it will, hopefully boot. Once you have booted, don't eject the sdcard, conncect the hisense to your pc and install the necessary adb drivers, then, boot into recovery and hit apply update from adb. Then type adb sideload nameoftheimg.img.
Hopefully that works
Oke. But if it boot from sdcard, then it will not install the img from sdcard?? I though it would.
What are the 'necessary adb drivers'?
And when i give the command "adb sideload nameoftheimg.img, will it get the img from sdcard OR from PC?
So the image is on SDcard AND on the PC? I do not get it (sorry)

Not as far as I know, I could be wrong, it could install from it. As far as the adb driver goes this is what I meant, you manually install them. Yes, the image is on both the pc and sdcrad.

Hello (again)
It will not boot from the sd card. I formatted it FAT32, used Win32DiskManager to write the .img on it, place the sdcard in the hisense and booted it. Press ON. System will not boot on sdcard. Instead it boot from disk. I see the same logo as before, Hisense Smart. It ignores the sdcard.
Booted it in recovery mode (with inserted SDcard). ADB sideload xxx.img, gave same answer: cannot read MAxxx.img. Other option in the recovery mode like update from external image (i hoped the sdcard) does not work either (can not find any /mnt ect file).
How can I force to boot from sdcard? Is the sdcard now bootable (with win32diskmanager). I used Rockchip Create Upgrade Tool 1.43 also, but this app crash when it want to write to SDcard.
No luck with me till now. Is my device saveable at all? Why does it not see the sdcard?

It is saveable, can you give me the link to the .img file? The fact that it says "cannot read" might be that the image file is corrupt. Are you sure you are typing the right name? You can do adb sideload then type the first letter (if it is a big letter type it as big for example Achicken, type A, if it is aCHICKEN, type it as a) and hit tap, that will ensure you have the exact name and dont tamper with it as in add .img at the end.

Yes I always give first letter tap. This is what I typed
adb sideload M (and then tap) => adb sideload MA347ENMEG3EV02.img
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0Bwr18Lh81gvJazJXTGFQTnhDSEk&export=download
Its a rar. I unzipped it with 7-zip
I tryed also adb shell. But device is unauthorized and I get eroor $ADB)VENDOR_KEYS not set (even when I deleted .android in my users dir. Do not get any permission question on device also. My hope is still a bootable SDCard and image.
Thanks

Might seem crazy but check this out, try with your image then his image(s). Remember, booting from an sdcrad is extremely slow, It can actually take 24hours depending on the speed fo your sdcrad so before trying this I suggest you leave it for a day.

Oke, I will wait for a while. But it seems it just hangs in the normal boot.
Thanks for so far. I will report back after the weekend with hopely good news
Hans
I waited for 48hours but nothing happens. Still the screen Hisense Smart.
So it will not boot from SD card and I can not external mount with adb.
When I go in recover mode I see message:
failed to mount /mnt/external_sd (No such device)
SDCard is raw formatted. Can not browse with Windows SDCard. Maybe it should be wrotten different so I can see /mnt/external_sd
Maybe you have a good idea this week for me.
