[Q] Rooting Epic on a 64bit system need help

Alright everyone I'm a EVO User but My friend is trying to root his Epic and is haveing problems we tried z4root and then tried to flash clockwork through rom manager with out a PC. When trying a PC it won't recognize the phone he is running a 64bit system and was going to try the one-click root that flashes Clockwork as well but since his PC won't recognize the phone he can't we have tried the 64bit drivers as well and nothing any help is greatly appreciated thank you

You need to try different USB cables and different USB ports on your PC. Usually on a desktop the USB port in the back is the best. Try to uninstall the epic drivers and then reinstall.them. this has worked.for.me before. And like you found out you can't use Tom manager to flash cwm on the stock kernel. Rom manager says it flashed it but it doesn't. Just try the tips I gave you and see if.it works. Good.luck

I have windows 7 64 and have never had problems with the samsung usb drivers or one click root/cwm. When the first attempt fails, chances are you need to retrace your steps and redo them. Use the rear usb port and be sure to reboot after installing drivers. That always helps me.

Is usb debugging on?
Also when you plug it in just leave it alone
Then run the one click

If you are having a driver issue (still) try installing PDAnet. I have Win7 Ultimate 64 bit and couldn't get any of the linked samsung drivers to install and correctly recognize my phone. I installed PDAnet, selected Samsung and viola... worky.
If that still doesn't work for you, try a different USB cable.
Once you get the drivers working properly, and have a good cable, the one click root/clockwork mod installer will work like a champ.
These steps should work for you.

64 bit USB driver won't recognize my phone

I bought a new laptop and it's 64 bit running Windows 7. I'm trying to install the 64 bit USB driver & get it to recognize my phone but it simply won't work.
The following two things keep running and running with the words "installing driver software" after them:
CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM)
S3C6410 Android ADB
I have no idea how to get this to work so any advice is greatly appreciated!
ps - USB debugging is checked in my application settings.

There are lots of people having problems with 64 bit windows nit recognizing the epic. My suggestion is to try.another USB cable. I use my wife's evo cable and it works fine for me. Good luck man just keep trying. Try different ports, cables and also check.to.make sure the USB slot is clear from any obstructions.

When you ran the setup for the driver, did you run it as administrator?
Right click on setup.exe and select that option from the menu.
Sorry you're having such a bad time, that has got to be mega-frustrating.
I've read also, that some people run the 32 bit drivers on win 7 64bit and they report that they work for them just fine.

hey man i feel your pain. I have been having the same exact problems as you. I also have tried the 64 bit/32bit drivers, uninstalling/reinstalling them, everything i can think of or have been told to do to no avail. It use to work fine until i got the first froyo update eb13 and ever since its been like this. My laptop keeps telling me to replace my device.
I did get on a computer at work with win XP and i plugged my phone into it and the device installed but im not sure about the drivers. Im limited to what i can do at work. So maybe it has something to do with windows 7 cause my laptop is brand new as most people having this problem are to.

Did the drivers change after the EC05 update. Neither of my computers will recognize my phone now after I updated the modem. I even tried reinstalling the links you have in this post and updating drivers and still a no go.

I just had this problem recently. It wasn't the drivers - instead, it was the USB port I was using. If you're on a desktop, try a usb port on the back of the pc. If you're on a laptop, give all the usb ports a go.

Nope; I have a win7 ultimate 32 laptop and a win 7 ultimate 64 desktop. Both see my phone just fine. Same drivers from when I first rooted after xmas to DK28 from 2.1.
I have heard of people having an issue with something bent on the phone's usb connector, it stops from getting full connection.

I'm having the same issue, but I can connect when I uncheck USB debugging. With it checked, it won't connect. I'm trying to root with 2.5.5...

Galaxy S3 Will Not Connect To Windows Computer

I am trying to connect my galaxy s3 to my windows computer and it will not install the drivers. Has anyone experienced this yet. I am rooted and running cm9 nightly. I also have a custom kernel installed. This was working when i rooted a couple of weeks ago. When I plug my phone into the usb it searches for drivers and display an error message that say it was unsuccessful at installing drivers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling kies? I got a pop up on my phone when i plugged it in last time and it said it couldnt find the software but yet i was able to connect to kies and go into phone through windows.

Uninstall Kies if you have it. And install drivers again. That should do the trick.

I experienced a similar issue, it may have to do with the fact that I didn't wipe cache partition and wiped dalvik cache when installing zip from sd card etc... I don't know what caused it, but nothing I could do (including re-installing drivers a couple of times from KIES and tying it on a different laptop etc.) would fix it until I did a wipe data/factory reset by mistake! (instead of wiping catche partition) ;<( and that seemed to do the job!
Perhaps you may want to try doing a "wipe catche partition" and "Wipe Dalvik Cache" from CWM before tying to go ahead a do a "wipe data/factory reset"?

This occured with me when I was using early build of CM10, the system fails to recognize the MTP and screws the drivers..
I say you revert back to nandroid, and reflash cm9

have the same problem

I did have that 'hardware ID missing' error suddenly after i was connecting my phone to my laptop just fine. my desktop has no problem. i did a few things that seemed to have fixed it or steps for a solution. I downloaded the TMO Samsung drivers. if you already have it installed, try uninstalling it. If that doesn't work, toggle USB debugging in between connecting and disconnecting from the computer. Other times, toggling USB debugging wouldn't work, so i toggled in between MTP and PTP. i play with a few times til it work. hope that helps. i can't post the link the the drivers yet, but get it from samsung's website.
i'm on gsm r6 and trinity kernel

Since I've gotten the phone I've had to keis air everything. Hardware I'd missing error on every PC/laptop I owned.
Up until yesterday. Plugged it in and keis opened. Connection troubleshooting joppy. It redownloaded and installed drivers. Like if always has...but this time it actually worked and so does my mtp now.
I wonder if its ROM related. Before I was using stock with the problem. The aokp unofficial r6 with the problem.
But now I'm running the official aokp jellybean release and it works.
I dunnnoooooo. Unicorn is mighty!

I tried uninstalling Kies and that didn't work. I have to re-flash CyogenMod to get it to work again. Wierd!

From my experiences it only ever occurs when Kies is running, even in the background, while usb debugging is enabled. If kies isnt running then its all good.

I ran into this using CM9; seems to me that Samsung is using MTP protocol's now instead of USB. I just use Driod Explorer with debugging and I can move files without any issues.

If you are wanting to just transfer files to/from computer try SwiFTP. I love this little program.
Original dev no longer supports but its been picked up by another. Download latest version here.

Please help my gs3 won't connect to any computer
I have tried on four different computers to plug my gs3 but phone never show any option on screen and computer never finds phone plugged in. I also used tried with different usb cables and resetting to factory but the result is same. All it does is charging the phone on all computers without any message or options on the screen. I am thinking there is something wrong cause it never found plugged into any computer nor any computer tried to install the driver.
If someone have experienced this please let me know what should I do to connect it to PC?

fix a "hardware id missing" error
1. install latest version of kies.
2. uninstall SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones version 1.5.9.0
3. download and install SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones 1.5.6.0
4. connect the phone let it install...thats it.
5..open kies update firmware, backup or whatever

From talking to Samsung Advanced Technical Help, I learned that, although it is never mentioned on any site or any literature, if you have
Samsung Studio 3 and/or Samsung New Studio and the USB drivers, uninstall ALL. I use Revo Uninstaller. Then reinstall the USB drivers from Samsung site. Make sure WiFi and Bluetooth are turned off,on the phone, and connect the phone. Should work.

[Q] MTP Driver Install Fail

Hi all,
Got my new S III on Jan. 1. Love it. Gave me an opportunity to use my old Cappy to experiment with. Flashed a couple of ROMS already and really love it. OK..so here's the problem. The only thing I have done with the S III is root it using the QCOM Toolkit. When I downloaded the drivers and plugged in phone it said that if a device number was showing that all drivers had installed. Don't really know if the MTP driver loaded at that time or not...but the device number was there and I proceeded to root the phone. Now when I try to connect to PC I get the dreaded MTP driver failed error message. Did a TON of research on this and tried EVERYTHING...still no joy. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium and even tried using my XP Pro machine...still no joy. Would love to flash a ROM on the new S III but no way to copy to SD card without PC connection.
Phone is A T&T SGH-1747 4.04 Version.
OK to reduce the number of "have you tried's" I have: tried various cables, uninstall reinstall Kies..Kies driver repair, uninstalled/reinstalled all Samsung drivers. Tried the MTP/PTP toggle idea. Plugged in with USB debugging ON and OFF. Sooooo tired of getting the MTP USB Device Driver failed message!!!
Any new ideas out there?

Factory reset is the only option that worked for me, and I tried everything you listed above. Also, based on prior posts, I plugged it into my computer before I signed into my google accounts.

Well im using my stock usb cable that came with my tab s. It worked a month agoñ

Maybe try a different cable or USB port. I know sometimes I plug mine in to a USB hub and it starts installing the drivers again because I didn't use the same port...strange I know but it could be missing the drivers it needs. You can open the device manager in Windows and see if everything is being found....other than that this n00b is stumped because it's working on mine. So Kies 3 does work on this tablet.

Here is my device manager with the S connected...but there are a lot of drivers that get installed and I don't think it wise to take the automatic install of Windows drivers. If you have Kies installed anytime it needs driver you should stop it from getting them from Windows Update and get them from C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG\USB Drivers. Keis has an option to reinstall the drivers. Might try that if something is missing. OR Download the driver package from Samsung Support and install it.

Thanks ill check if anything is wrong with the drivers or usb cable and will post back

Edit! Kies will not work on custom roms! Only stock rooted or stock based Roms will work. Thanks you all for helping me as I reverted back to see if it was the os. Cm11 doesn't have support for kies
