NOOB question; where is a good recent tutorial?? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Hi friends,
Been reading a lot on XDA lately. The idea is to flash my tf201, which I just bought for small money, to a more recent rom. A lot of threads with tutorials on xda date from 2011 and 2012 so a lot might be outdated or obsolete. I have reasonable skills like working with windows/linux/command line, but a lot of therms used sound quite new to me.
So my question; does anyone know a good recent tutorial on youtube how to do the job with windows 10? Where can i find the right tools to do this job?
Thanx in advance,
Steve

1st step is to unlock the stock bootloader, the file can be found here; http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF201/UnLock_Device_App_V6.apk
If I remember, I was able to run this via the file manager.

Thanks Nektopoli,
Does that also work when the prime already is running jelly bean?

When you boot up your prime, in the upper left corner you should see this[see pic] IF the bootloader is unlocked;

Thanks Nektopoli,
Got the prime unlocked using the [Guide/tutorial] Asus Transformer Prime/TF201 stock to Android 7.1 Nougat on this forum.
Now got stuck on part 4b NVflash.
Have the universal naked drivers installed but as soon as i connect the asus in APX mode, the pc (windows10) does not recognise the asus and says "unknown usb device, request for driver signing failed" instead of an external drive called APX.
Tried installing in Windows device manager, didn't work.
Did the trick with advanced startup settings to disable driver signing, didn't work either.

I used an old Windows 7 laptop and Minimal ADB and Fastboot, I don't think anyone has had any luck using a Windows 10 system.

I tried installing the drivers on a win7 32 and 64 bit laptops. Both times i get error "The INF File You selected does not support this method of installation".
Next i tried on both to install with device manager. Connecting the tab in APX mode gives an "unknown device" as windows notification. When i manually update the driver using install from disk it says: the selected folder does not contain a compatibel driver for your device.
Any ideas?

Do you have the Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72 installed on the Win7 system?

I am happy to release my Universal Naked Driver. This is to allow ADB, Fastboot & APX interfaces to work without installing any package much less multiples packages for users with multiple devices. Yes you can just install them and uninstall right away but why bother?
I was annoyed that I couldnt use my Transformer Prime and Galaxy Nexus without having versions and packages trip over each other. My previous post for the Sensation & Galaxy Nexus was helpful so I thought I would bring to XDA the newest Android driver available from source (which they call 4.0) and make it start talking.
Warning: Uninstall any previous driver package's you may have installed and also manually remove drivers by attaching your phone and going to Windows device manager and right click the entry for your phone and select "Uninstall" on the next prompt make sure to select "Delete the driver software for this device" then hit OK and reboot before installing these drivers

Welcome I just used the new root from jcase with these and all is gravy. I couldn't have released these at a better time. I had them ready last week but lost motivation to release after the bootloader being locked. In light of today's announcement I finished them and posted as soon as I got home from real life.
Do these support HTC as well, or will I need to keep those drivers installed?

Not yet but this is the first package that works with all devices including HTC. I have not added them yet but I will be taking request for phones very soon, I just have to make a quick tutorial for any user to send me the ID's.
Once I add the phones its a nail in coffin scenario.
Only my nexus is showing up in adb =\ any suggestions?
I have both in USB Debugging and ive tried just 1 plugged in
So does this basically install the drivers for the prime in device manager? Is that what this is?
Worked like a charm, this is a great thing, really appreciate it, makes it much easier to do since I have several devices I use to root etc. Keep up the great work

Thanks for the feedback!
Just so everyone's knows their is really nothing beta about this other then your phone or device may not be added yet. =)
I will try to get a next update soon but its not easy work, not hard either but tedious and I work 65+ hours a week so I will try my best guys.
The good thing is if Goggle releases a new driver no work really needs to be done going forward.
Hm your driver doesn't work with my TF-201 in ICS OTA updated and finally, I using the ASUS Sync V1.0.76 in which working perfectly in my Windows.

Thanks for the details but I have seen not issue with the ICS update as the update would not change your device ID's which are not an OS specific.
I am sure this was a case of the having older driver files while also having multiple registry edits for the attempts of previous drivers.
I will write a small tutorial soon on how to remove old drivers thoroughly to avoid issues like this.
But these work fine with ICS and I am glad that you got your issue resolved at the end of the day.
Any idea why I would get:
An error occurred during the installation of the device
The parameter is incorrect.
Thanks for this... My GNexus decided to no longer be seen in adb, uninstalled drivers and installed this and hey presto... I'm back!
Cheers...
Thanks!! Looks like the link is dead though..can you re-up it?
Wait... How I install? Sorry if I be a n00blet but ???? I only ever seen drivers in an exe. I would be grateful if any one of you wonderful people could answer my question. Thank you and good day/night/evening/morning/afternoon.
Until I update with a better guide.

I will update a mirror soon when I release the upcoming version with HTC support, but it is also attached to the XDA OP post of this thread.
Thanks for this, I tried installing it for my Transformer Prime in Win7 x64, the drivers showed up happily (I had to force the install through device manager/browse devices/have disk).
It installed without any bangs, showed up in device manager as ASUS Transformer Prime ADB Interface or such, but adb devices doesn't show it up. I tried unplugging/replugging, uninstalling-reinstalling, nothing.
Also, with these drivers installed how can we switch between MTP mode and ADB mode? I don't want to lose access to my storage

Hello not sure why it will not show you your device when running "adb devices" but possibly from trying other drivers before?
Also this should not interfere with the MTP mode but I will check that as well.
HTC added, look forward to feedback

Samsung Kies 2.3.3.12085_7_5 work with Windows 8 9200...:good:
I'm using windows 8 x64, I had no trouble installing the drivers.. I just put the phone in download mode and connected the usb cable and the drivers were automatically installed.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Hello all.
I too have Windows 8 RTM 9200 x64.
Kies 2.3.3.12085_7 INSTALLS fine, and the app RUNS fine.
Also, when I put the phone in download mode, Win8 DOES automatically find a device, but....
1. Kies can never find the phone (obviously not when in download, I mean in normal mode). Just keeps telling me to turn off debugging (which is not on!). Tells me: "Reconnect the device in Samsumg Kies (PC Studio) mode. Current connection mode not supported by Kies. Check USB settings."
2. Odin 1.85, 1.87 and 3.04 can never see the phone in download mode. Just nothing as if not connected.
For you guys who have it working in Win8, can you confirm that Kies can actually SEE the phone (running the app is the easy bit!), and that if you go into download mode, that Odin can see the device?
I can pass things thru on a virtual USB port to a Virtual Machine of Win7, but cant never actually get any functional use in (host) Win8.
Thanks.
EDIT: I downloaded Kies from Samsung page and it seems to be very slightly newer than mine, now version 2.3.3.12085_7_5. NOW, Odin CAN see the device in download mode which is what I really wanted for flashing purposes. Kies itself now no longer instantly complains about the USB setting, but iinstead just spins its wheel and never connects. But Kies stinks and never use it anyway, so not too fussed. Really just wanted Odin so that's cool.
Downloaded THIS Kies: http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as
Can you extract the USB Driver msi from the instllation and upload it here? Thanks!\
Edit:
Found it!
http://www.mediafire.com/?4y1a2opm8o3ihfx
Now my Note is back under my Windows 8 64x RTM!
Interesting!
Your mediafire download LOOKS like the same version that my Kies installed, but when I installed your version over my pre-existing one, now Kies can see my phone!
Excellent!
Thanks!
Hope this all helps someone else too.
I ran Windows 8 for exactly 2 days. I ain't gonna touch that with a 10ft pole ever again. Went back to Win7.
Lemme just tell ya: Windows 8 sucks big time. It's so bad it both sucks and blows at the same time.

Using a 4 year old Dell Latitude XT2 that originally came with Vista on it with a fresh install of Windows 8. Love the device. Multi touch screen works right away and all features work great. Having a blast with Windows 8. Just need the right hardware and it is a perfect operating system. Best of both worlds, tablet and laptop.
There's no need to install Kies to use the phone as mass storage.
Only if you want to flash things though Odin.
I'm using Windows 8 Pro 64bits and I can confirm this. :good:
Windows update Will do the job.
Connect the phone and then search on Windows update.

I was able to get mine working with the combo of
1. uninstalling any HTC sync or sync manager and the HTC BMP USB Driver. Basically anything HTC.
2. Install HTC sync. Not sync manager. Go to the HTC support page and you'll see both listed. If you go to the specific phone support page it might not be there. (One S doesn't have the sync program, just sync manager iirc.)
3. Download PDAnet. When installing, It'll give a warning that you already have drivers installed and ask if you want to fix them or leave as is. I chose it to fix and it went though its process and I had working drivers after that.
I think this was already suggested before. I going back and giving thanks wherever due after this post. (On the mobile app right now)
Other easy way if you're using a One S is to download Hasoon2000's All-On-One Toolkit. He's updated the drivers for windows 8. I haven't tried it yet as mine are working so haven't had the need. I would assume his tool for any of the other phones he supports would have the updated drivers too.

And the phone is recognized fine when in regular mode. Though, whenever I reboot the phone into the Bootloader using adb, it restarts into the fastboot, but it doesn't change to "Fastboot USB" and shortly after I get a "USB Device Not Recognized" on my PC and it saying something about it malfunctioning. So I get stuck on "Waiting for device" when trying out this command "fastboot oem get_identifier_token."
Any ideas? I'm trying to unlock the bootloader and root so that I can install custom ROMs and kernels.
Hey there! Sorry my fix didn't work for you.
My question is, are you running windows 8 or 8.1? The reason I ask is because the 8.1 update has broken fastboot apparently. I don't remember the last time I tried on my computer to see if fastboot still works or not since I updated to 8.1.
If you are running 8.1 windows then the guide at droid-now.com seems to have worked for many people. Go to that site and search fastboot fix windows 8.1 or you could just Google that too I guess. I would paste the link right now but my phone is being stupid and not letting me paste it ATM. :-|
If that doesn't work then you may be able get what you need done by dual booting into Ubuntu if you feel comfortable doing so. You could easily make a bootable flash drive that you could boot into just for an emergency. I just used one for about 4 days while fixing my computer after I accidentally erased the partition tables of my hard drive, trying to make a permanent installation of Ubuntu. Got it fixed BTW! ats self on back:
Keep us posted if you get it fixed or have any more questions! I hope I've been at least a little helpful. I'll try to help any more I can if possible!
Good luck!

I am running Windows 8.1, however it looks like the fix only applies to Intel motherboards connecting through USB 3.0 ports. I do have USB 3.0 ports, but my motherboard is AMD and my USB3 controller reads "VIA USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 0100 (Microsoft)." I'm not sure that the fix applies to me, unfortunately. Also, I am not connecting my phone to my PC using the USB3.0 ports.
I tried downloading the USB 3.0 Drivers for Windows 8 64-bit on the manufacturer's website for my motherboard (http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4305), but when I try to update my drivers to the ones I got from the website it says that the Microsoft provided ones are the most recent/ up to date drivers.

Be Advised, there is perhaps a way , you wil find in the link below, but be sure to use the right intel driver And only if you hae an intel chipset for usb3 , please read the comments and my bad experience :
Under win8.1/X64 that if you have(like me) an Intel 8 /c220 (or with a 4th generation like intel I7 4770k) you may encounter a big mess , and perhaps you''l have to do a clean install of win 8.1 : all the usb2 DEVICES were disconnected after the first iusb3xhc.inf driver install !! So no more usb/Bluetooth keyboard+mouse , fortunately i had an old ps2 keyboard and i was able to delete only with "tab/alt Tab/ctrl tab" keys the
"intel usb3 extensible " line in device manager, and as soon as i done a refresh (ALT+A) in device manager the previous driver(Microsoft) was reinstalled by win 8.1 andall the usb2 devices connected (mouse/keyb/hub etc)
http://plugable.com/2012/12/01/windo...#comment-19066
see there there's in the last comments at the bottom , Andrew(tks to him!)a link + modified drivers for intel8/c220)
and for me it worked mouse/keyB were functional during all the process
next step check the fastboot adb is working now
Here you go... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2061435
A later post I made (I havent updated the OP, shame on me...) is a link to some universal drivers from CWM that works fantastic! - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40108463#post40108463
Before trying this I would goto your device manager and right click on the currently installed drivers and uninstall them before installing the drivers again.
Hope that helps. I am using the link found in that second link and fastboot and adb works perfect. Also, while you can boot into fastboot, stock 1.58 will not let you run a lot of fastboot commands and will need to flash a different hboot.

hey friend you could install universal adb drivers and then check it should work..
Here are the two links go check them out...
Universal Windows ADB Driver by Koush
Universal Adb Driver
Hello, my friend I'm sorry, but right now there is probably no way, how to make fastboot work on Windows 8.1. Trust me, I've tried to find a solution for many days, but at the end, I had to use borrowed netbook with Windows 7 installed on it. The problem is, that 8.1 always connects fastboot devices as "Unknown USB's". For those you simply can't install these drivers, even if you try using Safe mode, or if you start system with allowance of unsigned drivers. Basicly what's happening is, that windows thinks, you want to reinstall USB driver, not fastboot driver.
I was thinking about the possibility of using older virtualized system or Linux on which it should work (though you won't find many guides). Keep on trying and don't give up You'll manage to unlock it eventually. The question remains, on which system it would be.
