I am trying to get my WIN 7 64 bit windows to recognize my Epic 4g. I cannot however find any drivers that actually work worth a darn. Any help would be highly appreciative
Did you check Samsung? Its in the support section
when installing the drivers. It'll say "failed," however its false. Also you need to make sure your using a MAIN usb port on your PC. (for desktops its the USB's next to internet adapter)
I'm running win7 x64 it works fine for me

It could b what I did wrong .... turn off usb debugging and than plug it in first (sounds stupid I know but it is what was frustrating me for an hr or so) the device won't self install drivers with it on
so i just got this new epic in the mail after paying 100 dollars for it....was already on el30.....so i tried adding the md5 file in order to root it but it got stuck and got semi bricked so i tried to odin it back to stock and did repartition auto reboots and reset time and after like 3 intents of it getting stuck on boot.bin now it wont turn on.....HELP!!! I just got it today and im really scared about breaking it again!
Keep trying to get into download mode by popping the battery in and out. Get a better cable and redownload the files.

Common noob mistake, worth a shot advising in case you're having a brainfart, make sure you're odin'ing under PDA or it won't ever finish.

Like kenny said get a better cable and redownload the files... oh and repartition shouldn't have been checked since you were already on BML and is used to go back to that. :/
Auto reboot is the ONLY thing that should be checked. Redownload the files and try it with a better cable if you don't have one stop now or get ready to bury the phone.

Odin hangs on me everytime I use the front usb ports on a desktop computer. For some odd reason it works only on the main usb ports in the back of my desktop.

Because the front is a hub usb port and the usb's in the back are direct on the mobo. Certain computers are picky some like the front over the back ones.

i have tried everything and the phone is still not being recognized....i have uninstalled and installed again.....i have used 4 diffrent computers 2 of them will not recognize the device and the other two get stuck on boot.bin....i really need some assistance....
ok so i think the issue is that usb debugging is not enabled?.....the only problem is that the first two computers i use read the phone and so does odin....these two keep saying unrecognized device....i would toggle it on but like i said before the screen will not turn on....just gives me a dim black screen....
I have two rooted Epic Touch 4G's running calk's GB 3.0 Rom. I can mount one, but can't mount the other. The problem just started happening a couple of weeks ago. I tried reinstalling the drivers on my computer and have tried flashing a new ROMs, but my phone still won't mount. It charges just fine.
I don't think it's a driver problem since my other et4g mounts just fine. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks in advance for your help!
Try multi sd from the Market, should help mounting your phone for now. Have you tried different cords, USB ports, computers?

I've tried different cords, usb ports and reinstalling the drivers. I have yet to try my other comp. I'll give that a go as well as the multi-sd from the market and see if that works. Thx for the reply slick_rick.

I did. I've been experimenting with a few ICS roms over the last couple of weeks to see if that would fix the issue. Still unable to mount. I just recently went back to GB.

When I uncheck USB Debugging, the phone recognizes the MTP-Connection. When I check USB Debugging all it does is charge.

Yes!! Found something that worked! Thanks to PatrickBay over at Android Central and thanks to all that replied!
PatrickBay @ Android Central....
I had the same problem over the last few months and it progressively got worse. Yesterday, try as I may (and I tried all of the software-based fixes I could find), nothing would work. Even the charger would no longer juice it up.
That made me think that it could actually be a physical problem, not a software one. So I looked at the micro USB port and the slot in the middle (the tongue, if you will), seemed to be tilted too far down. I stuck a glasses flathead screwdriver (one of those really slim ones) in there and bent the connector upwards so that it was roughly in the center of the cavity. Plugged the cable back in and, lo and behold, all functionality fully restored!
I would caution that if you're doing this, do it as a last resort, and do it gently since you're forcing something that's fairly delicate.
I've noticed this problem on other Nexus phones and I chalk it up to the way that the micro USB slot is unsupported (so it can bend easily).

I am trying to find right driver where I can see and connect through COM port to use CDMA Workshop 2.7 and unlock and get all my information on my E4GT and (Samsung Prevail) as they use same drivers I believe. I have turned off and even uninstalled antivirus but with no success. What am I doing wrong and how do I remedy this??? Thanks in advance!

If you preivously had another Samsung device odds are they WON'T work with this one. I've seen that more than a few times before. Uninstall the old ones and download the this one http://bit.ly/IaQjDl specifically for this phone.
Good luck.

Hi. I don't mean to highjack the op. I'm having a similar issue with my wife's SG3 from att. Its not rooted and I have reinstalled kies several times and also drivers as well. I have seen a couple reports online that mtp is not supported on this device. However I do not see that in any threads here about such a thing. If I plug the USB in the back it will sometimes recognize the device however it fails on drivers. Kies WiFi works fine. I'd like to get the 4.1 update on there for her though. Sorry for the intrusion. Thanks in advance for any help.

Mine has done that a few times for me. Not sure what it is when you hold the power button for 10+ seconds (reset/reboot/etc), but found if I do that the phone reboots and the phone connects again to computer. regular old reset and or battery pull didn't work for me, only the long press power reboot.

I really want to root it Odin makes it so easy. Boot loader, adb, Hboot versions on HTC are a little tricky but I like the challenge. I don't think she will let me. She complains enough about my crack flashing habits. And agreed when she gave up her iPhone I would leave her galaxy alone. She doesn't even care about the 4.1 update, can you believe that!

Uninstall Kies
Uninstall Drivers
Reboot
Hook up the phone and let Windows Update get whatever drivers it can. It won't get them all
Unhook phone
Install the I747 drivers
Do NOT install Kies
Hook da fone back up
I've tried several... 3 cables here in front of me and no dice. I guess I should point out besides the 4.1 update. Transferring movies and music would be a bit quicker via mtp. It sounds like this driver issue is abnormal. Perhaps I'll just see if we can get it exchanged. If you guys have any other idea? Would be great to hear them. I may just sneak it and root while she is asleep put a clean ROM on it.
Oh and thanks you guy, for your input.

I was having a similar issue and uninstalling and then reinstalling all the drivers, software, etc. didn't work for me. But this did;
http://blog.vacs.fr/index.php?post/...ot-detected-problem-on-Android-Samsung-phones
Resolution
1. Unplug the USB cable
2. On the cell phone, dial the following number: *#7284#
Once the last # is hit, the PhoneUtil application is launched. Choose USB -> Modem and then USB -> PDA mode.
The good mode should be PDA. Even if the mode is PDA, switch to Modem and then back to PDA.
3. Plug the USB cable.
