first off, i just wanted to state, before i get ripped into, i have spend the last 1.5 days reading everything i can find on any forum that comes back with search results for my issue. i've tried numerous drivers, different PC's, even a Linux Live CD system.
I cannot get my PC (win 7, 32 bit) to see my TF201 via ADB.
It is installed in the device manager with the "universal naked driver 0.7", and shows up as "Asus Transformer Prime ADB Interface". But whenever i try to connect via ADB to run the fix in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514088 - i cannot see the device.
I have tried all of the mount/unmount options in CWM. nothing is working for me.
is there anyone that has run into this? And if so, have you found a resolution?
sorry if i'm coming off as the typical noob here, but i really have put in time researching the issue and attempting other fix-it routes before posting up a help thread.
Thanks!!

Update****
I was able to get it out of the boot loop, so that it will boot to the splash screen. well following instructions i've found online, when in CWM, i connected through ADB and pushed a copy of cm9.zip up to the internal storage.
yet, whenever i choose "install from zip" in CWM, it never finds the zip file.
i have done it a few times now and it says it copies up completely, but never actually shows up.
syntax i'm using: adb push cm9filename.zip "/sdcard/cm9filename.zip"
it takes about two minutes and gives me confirmation that it pushed x amount of bytes of data for the file, and says its done. I then go back to the tablet in CWM and choose install from sdcard, and it says there are no files.
I'm about ready to throw this thing in the trash and be done with it......
First of all make a small text file and zip it up for a test file that wont take long to push.
Now type adb push test.zip /data/media/
look if the file is showing where you go to install a rom.
If it is showing then push the rom to the same place then install it

I am having the same exact problem. It started when I tried to restore my stock backup that I made using CWM 5.8.2.0 coming from the CM rom. I am stuck in the CWM recovery screen and cant get ADB to see the TF Prime. I just get error: device not found. How did you manage to push a zip if ADB wasn't seeing your device? I have been looking for a fix for the last week now.

the problem is whenever it try to fastboot it just keeps saying waiting for device. I can put my TF prime in fastoot mode when I power on while holding down on vol it just goes right to CWM recovery and any adb command gives me no device found and I tried APX mode (holding vol up during power on) and tried to use NVFlash but that just gives me an error device not recognized. I have all the drivers installed. I used the naked drivers .7 and have cleared out all the old drivers too.

As I stated above holding down Val down while turning on does not bring up the menu it still just boots right into CWM recovery. i have no option for fastboot or anything.

No, you hold Vol down + power then when the first screen with sentences appears you release everything DON'T touch anything, after 5 secondes you will end in a screen with three icons, with volume down youu select the usb icon in the middle, then volume up.
This procedure works even on locked devices except that in this case you don't have the usb icon, only the factory reset and cold reboot ones. So it's impossible you don't obtai this screen, it's hardware coded.
It is confusing but just keep trying till you get it!! Once there go to the TWRP site they have the file and the fastboot commands all set in a guide.
I have exactly the same problem than you.
I had the fastboot/adb connection (I used to push the rom by adb), but i tried to install a wrong version on gapps. Since then, I'm stock in the recovery mode without adb/fastboot connection.
If you find a solution for that, pleaze post it !!

I'm trying to update my G Watch by sideloading a zip file.
I installed the sdk tools and usb driver as usual.
On debugging mode and bootloader, the watch is detected as an ADB device normally. 'adb devices' command works.
But when I reboot and get on recovery mode, the watch disappears on the device manager and never get detected again. So I cannot use 'adb sideload' command.
I've never experienced this kind of issue with smartphones.
Do you have any solutions?

Ok, does anyone know how to get my computer to recognise my watch in recovery mode? It's not about 'driver' the computer plain doesn't recognise that anything is plugged in at all.
I know the post is quite old already, but I experience exactly the same phenomenon...
I tried multiple PCs Linux and Windows,but non of them recognized the watch (neither on 4.4W1 nor on 4.2W2).
Anyone any idea?

The problem, as @osikiri stated, is that the device does not get recognized at all (no unknown devices in devicemanager and the sound that comes on plugging in a device does not come as well). Furthermore, afaik Linux does not even need any drivers

If this really helps (seems weird): I guess the exact setting could be necassary:
You simply ran out of battery while the watch was running(not recovery or fastboot) and then plugged it in and went directly (or not?) to the recovery?
Thanks in advance, would be really great to fix this!
Anyone ever find a fix to this? I'm trying to manually install the 5.0 update and I'm having the same issue. Every post I find with search tells me to update drivers but I'm on a Mac that doesn't even use ADB drivers. I've updated the SDK.

Yeah, same issue for me as described.
Windows (Win7 x64 for me) doesn't even realise that the device is connected when it is in recovery mode. Although it will connected properly when booted normally.

Same issue for me. I've tried removing and replacing it on the cradle, killing and restarting the adb server, entering recovery by the touchscreen or by the adb/fastboot commands, clearing debugging keys, etc... Anybody have any other ideas?

Ok, so it appears that the recovery img on 4.4w2 broke adb support or something. There are a few threads that suggest you can root and flash it or just wait for the OTA. We'll see whether I get the OTA before I have time to try this out.

I've similar problem, and I've spent almost 3 hours to find the solution. I found that following solution work for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch-r/development/manual-ota-update-root-t2969845
I've changed the step slightly according to the comments inside the thread:
- Enter Bootloader (swipe top left-bottom right as soon as the LG logo pops up on boot)
- Unlock bootloader (fastboot oem unlock) and boot the watch normally once
- Turn off and re-enter bootloader
- Flash 5.0.1 Stock Recovery (fastboot boot recovery.img)
// Do Not Flash 5.0.2 stock recovery
- Enter recovery and ADB sideload the update (tap the android, select install update from ADB and enter adb sideload filename.zip)
//you might have to reinstall the ADB drivers, just follow the simple step to install ADB driver
Done.
fi thought it was finally the solution, but fastboot oem unlock bricked my sony smartwatch3. I see tomorrow if with my windows pc i can fix with sony companion, otherwise i'll have to use the warranty

Guys I'm not sure what the heck I did wrong, but I flashed a modem file linked earlier in the RR forum by another member in ALKA TWRP in an attempt to increase my signal strength , and it completely destroyed my device. No power on, No fastboot, no recovery, no EDL. Flashed a red LED on USB connection and shows as HS USB 900E. I guess I need to use test-point method to unbrick it?
My device was unlocked using official method, running latest Resurrection Remix, Radon Kernel, Alka TWRP 3.0. The modem flashed fine and didnt report any errors, but as soon as I hit the "Reboot System" button the phone completely died on me.
I see some other methods such as this : http://xda-developers-1.blogspot.ca/2016/04/unbricking-redmi-note3-from-hardbrickhs.html
I would prefer to use a method like this, but the tutorial is for other phones and a lot of the required files have been taken down
Any help?
What about this thread on MIUI?
I can't get into the proper fastboot mode or EDL mode
I tried using this method of disconnecting the battery and USB cables but it didnt work
http://en.miui.com/thread-274589-1-1.html
Getting into edl mode using the volume buttons is very tricky. Never managed it myself.
On thread you linked they say "press vol+ and vol- and connect the usb" where I have read before that you connect the power first and then quickly press both volume buttons.
http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-put-redmi-note-3-into-edl-mode/
Ive been trying that one but i keep getting into 900E mode instead of EDL mode every time

That Won't work because I cant reboot into fastboot. Step 2) Reboot into fastboot.
I guess you have to use testpoint method then. Just a tip for the future dont flash roms/zips unless they are confirmed to be legit/working.
Another site suggests a different method with the volume buttons.
Make sure you hold the phone in a way that you can comfortably press both volume buttons. Now press the Volume up (+) and Volume down (-) buttons simultaneously and connect the USB cable. The key of success here is timing. Make sure you press both volume buttons and the same time as pluging USB cable in.

Found the solution to get into EDL without volume button tricks.
[Tools, Tips & Tutorials] [kenzo]Entering EDL mode via Test Mode Screen
Who cannot enter EDL mode from standard Android boot and have no abilty to boot an image from FastBoot mode, you could try the following:
Switch the phone off.
Press and hold both Volume keys and Power key.
As Mi logo appears on the screen, release all buttons.
After several seconds, Test Mode Screen should appear (SYSTEM INFO, KEYPAD BACKLIGHT etc.).
Open Device Manager in Windows.
Connect the phone to the Windows computer (no matter which cable end is inserted first).
If ADB drivers are installed, "Android device" branch should appear in Device Manager, containing "Android Composite ADB Interface" and "Xiaomi Composite MDB Interface". Addionally, there should be "Portable devices" branch with "Redmi Note 3" device. If some drivers are not installed, install them.
Execute "adb devices" command to check if ADB connection is established.
If no devices are shown by ADB, wait a minute until "Redmi Note 3" device gets the "!" mark. Repeat "adb devices" command.
If "Redmi Note 3" device is not marked by "!" after a minute and ADB does not list the phone ID, try to disable "Redmi Note 3" in Device Manager.
As the phone ID becomes listed by ADB, execute "adb reboot edl" command.

Keep repeating "adb devices" until it reports connected.
Just tested and can report it works.

What button combination eventually worked for you?
After putting it all togeather it seems the edge of the back caught my volume UP button and broke it /sigh
At least the phone is working now. Getting recovery booted and installed was a bit of a challenge. (fastboot boot recovery.img then copy new recovery and rom to device, flash everything at once)

Does anyone know how I can update my baseband/modem using TWRP? My signal is still crap on RR ROM. I am afraid to flash another modem file which will risk bricking my device again. Or am I supposed to flash modem and then reflash the ROM?
Flashing in TWRP "should" be fine. Nor is flashing the Rom after needed because custom roms (9/10) don't touch these partitions on purpose. Now if ya using stock, that's different.
But I don't kno because I don't have the device yet (arrive Monday ). To eliminate risk, use ADB to flash the modem instead.
Again idk exactly what's going on with this device and it's methods yet.
I attempted to install the custom OS, Asteroid, to my Zenwatch 2 (Sparrow) I followed the directions and now the watch will not boot, it is stuck at the Asus screen in a loop. I downloaded the recovery image, but I can not flash it do to Windows not recognizing the watch is connected. ADB gives me the error Device '(null)' not found. I have checked the device manager and there is nothing showing as an error (yellow !). Is there anyway I can recover from this?

I am running Windows 10 X64 build 1803
If you have the space, follow this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10
It allows you to run non-graphical Ubuntu on top of Windows. I've found sometimes my Windows 10 PC won't recognize things with adb or fastboot, but it works great in Ubuntu Bash. If you're familiar with Ubuntu at all, then it'll be a breeze to figure it out. If not, it's a pretty straight forward learning curve. It's also child's play to get adb and fastboot working right in Ubuntu, whereas it can be finicky in Windows.
Another alternative is to make a Linux Live CD using a USB drive, but that is a much more temporary solution.

OK, I will mess around and see what happens! I will have to do it tomorrow, but I will play around and see what happens!
Let me know how it goes and I'll walk you through it some more.
Any luck?
Sorry for the long time to reply. I installed ubuntu in window and installed the appropriate packages, however both ADB and Fastboot show nothing connected, even though the device is in CSC Recovery mode. Is there anything else I can try?
I actually tried playing with a few things on one of my computers the other day to try tracking this down. I was running into an issue where adb worked normally when the watch booted, but it would not work in recovery, and fastboot did not work either. Here is how I fixed it. Open up device manager in Windows and delete any driver pertaining to Android phones or adb. In my example, an Asus driver was causing the problem. I deleted that and reinstalled the generic Google drivers using the 15 second adb/fastboot installer that I posted in this thread. After restarting the computer, adb works perfect in Android and recovery, and fastboot works perfect as well.
TL/DR Delete all Android adb drivers in Windows, then run the 15 second adb installer that I posted in this thread, restart, and get your watch back to normal.
Assuming your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash everything I have posted here to get it running. https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenwatch-2/development/sparrow7-1-1debloat-rom-t3800067 If the bootloader is not unlocked, fastboot oem unlock will do it.

OK, I got windows to see the watch via fastboot and I downloaded the image that you posted (bloat free) now the watch started to boot, but so far it is just showing spinning dots, and has been for ~5 minutes or so, is this normal?
I'm in a bit of a pickle right here. My friend's P20 Lite got dropped and now the screen is dead. Backlight turns on, but the LCD is really, really broken. I can boot it up and unlock it using his swipe-code (by guessing where the dots are), but I cannot recover his data, because USB debugging is disabled
If I reboot into fastboot mode (Power + Vol Down), I can indeed see it on my PC as a fastboot device, but I can't use that for anything, as far as I know.
If I reboot into recovery mode (Power + Vol Up), adb doesn't work.
If I turn it on, unlock it, and plug in a Type-C to HDMI dongle (with power), it does not mirror the screen onto the display. I know the dongle works, as I've tested it with several devices.
HiSuite detects the device is in recovery mode, but then continues to say the device is not supported for system recovery.
What other options do I have? I can plug in a keyboard after it's unlocked, so maybe it's possible to navigate it that way? Like "press KEY to access settings, press down key 20 times, press enter to enter menu" etc. etc. Unfortunately I don't have a P20 spare laying around, so I can't use that for guidance.
The phone's bootloader is NOT unlocked, so I can't even flash TWRP and get into adb that way.
Hopefully someone can help!

Hi,
Cloud you maybe help me too? Because I have nearly the same problem. I have a Huawei P20 with a broken screen, the touch does not work and I have a password and therefore I cannot unlock it, I would like to be able to get all the data back from the phone and I have tried in many ways how to do it without being able to use it and the only solution is do it through a computer, I have already tried to activate usb debugging with a program, only it shows me the notification but I can not approve, I checked if there was active ADB but it says it is unauthorized and now I wonder if I should send the phone in recovery mode or fastboot mode so that I can control it from a pc or somehow receive the data, the question is how can I do? I have no idea how fastboot or recovery mode can be and whether it will make me lose everything or not so I would like to make sure by asking an expert, I would be very grateful if you could help me.
Hi.
Do anyone has a solution to this ? I'm in the exact same situation...
- normal mode no adb devices
- fastboot mode works, but... what to do in it ?
- recovery mode, no adb devices, nothing
- download Mode too, "adb devices" list it, but unauthorized... Maybe there is a way to copy a custom thing through SD ?
Need help please :'(

When is see on the internet what Download Mode is for, i imagine it's possible to copy a custom firmware/OS on the SD card, and then, install it automatically by this special mode.
I just want to retrieve my data... The only viable solution for the moment, is to buy a new P20 Lite screen and change it...
