Note that in my case I did not find the Asus Drivers until after I had installed the Dell drivers using the process in steps 7, 8 and 9. The point being if you are missing any drivers, give the Dell download a shot. I was able to get the sound working on my Win10 TTA by doing the following:. Download the most recent Win8. Run Windows Update.
Sound continued to work. Last edited by MortonThule; at PM. Reason: clarification re drivers to download.
Excelent article! Help me to wipe my Asus T with no fear. Given all the present and past Asus T owners, I would like to ask for reviews and advices: would you recommend to switch to Win10, or stick to Win8? I feel mine being sluggish on Win8…. Any input is appreciated.
It seems that I fixed the problem meanwhile. After doing a BIOS reset and upgrading it to v it looks like the problem is gone. Hi Ian, thanks a lot for your report. I did a Win 10 Enterprise clean-install with all the drivers and everything is running fast and fine. Then I push the Power Button again for a few seconds to shut down and switch on the device again and windows is booting fine.
I just wiped my T back to factory, updated the BIOS to the most current build and am in the process of upgrading to Win 10 for free. Did anyone have to install that driver manually, or did Windows 10 install that automatically for you? Thanks in advance! Also, under human interface device there is nothing in there for the touch screen.

There will no doubt be future products on display that will run Windows 8 in all its Metro interface glory. What I want to see more than anything is a hybrid Windows 8 tablet that pops into a laptop dock for double duty as a laptop. It is the best Android tablet on the market, and has the added distinction of plugging into a laptop dock for those times when a keyboard is needed. This turns the Transformer Prime into the most versatile tablet, and I can't help thinking how great that would be with Windows 8 onboard.
Imagine having a tablet running the Metro interface of Windows 8, capable of running new apps designed for touch operation. It would be awesome if that included pen input for those scenarios when it makes sense, although it isn't absolutely necessary.
Even without the pen it would be a full Windows tablet as capable of those running other OSes. Now imagine that tablet can be plugged into a laptop dock, gaining a full keyboard and trackpad for operation as a laptop. This would be able to handle not only the new apps designed for Metro, but the thousands of legacy Windows apps already out there.
This would be the most capable laptop or tablet on the market, and running Windows. The ASUS Transformer Prime gains the benefit of an extra 10 hours of battery life when plugged into the laptop dock as it has a second battery inside.
This would be spectacular with Windows 8 onboard, as it would then become the longest running Windows laptop on the market for its size and weight. That is a solid price point for the Windows 8 version I want to see. I predict ASUS would sell as many of these as it could produce, in fact I believe this would quickly become the biggest-selling tablet that is not an iPad. I also believe it would be the top-selling laptop, for which it would also qualify.
Use your file manager to find the downloaded unlock tool. Tap it to install the app. You will be prompted to confirm your Google account by entering your Google password. If you are using two-factor authentication on your Google account you will have to set up an application-specific password for this. You can revoke that password after your tablet is unlocked. Next you will have to agree to a license and acknowledge a warning. Again, Asus wants to make it really clear that you are about to void your warranty.
After you agree to everything your tablet will reboot and your bootloader is now unlocked. ClockworkMod Recovery is a custom recovery image. The Transformer Prime comes with a recovery image provided by Asus that lets you do stuff like manually install OS updates.
But the Asus recovery image will only let you install updates that are digitally signed by Asus. That is what ClockworkMod does. It also provides extra features, like the ability to back up and restore your whole OS. Installing ClockworkMod will probably void your warranty - in case you somehow got to this point with an intact warranty.
There is also some danger that you could brick your tablet. These instructions are adapted from a guide on TransformerPrimeRoot. I'm going to give you the slightly more complicated version that involves downloading files directly from ClockworkMod and from Google; and I will provide tips on what to do if the fastboot tool is not able to find your tablet.
I personally appreciate it when I can get files from sources that I know I can trust. But if you are not convinced that is necessary then feel free to check out the TransformerPrimeRoot. As of this writing the latest version for the Transformer Prime is 5. According to TransformerPrimeRoot. The Touch Recovery image should also work. It comes with a nicer touch-based UI.
But the guides that I have read call for the non-touch version, so that is what I went with. You will also need the fastboot tool from the Android SDK to install the recovery image. Download the SDK from Google and extract it. After a few minutes that will add a new executable, fastboot , in the platform-tools directory in the Android SDK package. You will use the fastboot program to send commands to your tablet while the tablet is in fastboot mode. Android devices have two boot modes apart from the normal boot-into-the-OS option: recovery mode and fastboot.
Fastboot is a low-level mode that is used for flashing firmware. You can use fastboot to replace the recovery mode image - which is what we will be doing to install ClockworkMod. And you can use recovery mode to install a new OS. Likewise, if your OS breaks you can fix it from recovery mode and if recovery mode breaks you may be able to fix it from fastboot. What happens if fastboot breaks? Try not to let that happen! The Android devs have not yet provided us with an extra-fast-boot.
If you are on Windows then you will have to install a USB driver before proceeding. Linux and Mac users do not need any special drivers. Bad things will happen if your battery dies while you are flashing a recovery image. Boot your tablet into fastboot by holding down the power and volume-down buttons. The tablet will power off and reboot. Wait until you see several lines of white text in the upper-left corner of the screen, then let go of the power and volume buttons.
Then wait for five seconds and you will see the fastboot options. Press volume-down to highlight the USB icon and then press volume-up to select it.
You have ten seconds to do this - after that the tablet will cold-boot Android instead. If that happens, don't worry. Just start over by holding down the power and volume-down buttons. Plug the tablet into your computer using the USB cable that came with your tablet. On your computer open a terminal. Run this fastboot command to make sure that your computer is talking to your tablet:. The -i 0x0b05 part tells fastboot which USB device to communicate with. The number 0b05 is the Asus vendor id for USB interfaces.
If you want to double-check that vendor id you can use the lsusb command on Linux. On my machine the output includes a line that looks like this:. Anyway, if the fastboot command that you ran worked you should see output that looks like this:. If you are in Linux you can fix this problem by creating a udev rule.
But make sure to replace "yourusername" with your user name. Then restart udev with this command:. Ok, is fastboot talking to your tablet?
