What Drivers to see COM port??? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

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.

Nice! I wonder if these are the same drivers you get when installing with Kies?

I didn't compare them so am not sure. I just installed kies since it wouldn't work with my phone anyway and installed the drivers. Only thing I noticed was my com port went from 8 to 4.

Unable to Mount ET4G to my comp as a disk drive

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.

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).

Note II won't connect to computer

Hey all,
My galaxy note 2 will not connect to my computer (Mac, mountain lion) at all.
Everytime I try I get the message from Android File Transfer saying "Could not connect device" "Try reconnecting or restarting device".
I have done this so many times but still won't work. The kies software does not work either.
Any advice or help would be appreciated. I should say though that when I first got the phone i was able to connect it to my computer. However, after I unlocked the sim that's when it stopped being able to connect. Not sure if this is related or not.
thanks!

PC doesn't recognize my phone

Need some help guys. I've tried everything from re-installing drivers, different pc. Just 2 days ago my phone connected just fine to my pc. Won't even recognize the phone in download mode. Any ideas?
Is kies installed?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
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.

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.

[Q] < waiting for device > when rooting - no matter what

Well here I am. I'm brand new, so hello! I'm Tom.
I'm on Windows 8.2 trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
I've seen a LOT of posts exactly like this, and I've tried absolutely everything I've seen suggested, yet I always end up getting stuck on < waiting for device > in the command prompt while trying to root, with nothing changing on my phone screen.
Every single time! I've used every method I've seen(including superboot), and resorted to manually navigating through Android SDK, only to reach
"< waiting for device >"
I've been at it for three hours after deciding that one of you (or more) skilled folks could definitely help me on my way to rooting.
Now, I'm not afraid to say that I'm new to executing this process. I've read up on it plenty, but putting it into practice has been troublesome for me, and if you could offer explicit instruction, it would be best.
Thank you kindly!
(Yes, it is in fastboot mode at the time of attempted rooting/fastbooting)
(Yes, USB Debugging through developer options is on)
Sounds like a driver issue but your phone is detected.. Weird but I think you should check your drivers.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
This may sound silly, but is it a driver issue on my phone, or on my computer?
And is there a guide on how I might go about fixing it?
(I took the time to re-install the USB Driver directly from Samsung website, if that's what you mean.
On your pc Just use device manager to see if there is any yellow exclamation mark by your device when its plugged in. If there is you need to update the driver manually. For that: all hail google lol

Use a different USB cable and try different ports.
I tried a different port, no luck there. It still attempts to start fastboot and stops at "< waiting for device >" - like before.
What does using a different USB cable change? I've yet to do it (but I will within two hours), and I don't see what difference it could make.
Thank you though. The help is very much appreciated.

A diffrent usb cable works because magic minions in your computer recognize the new usb cable and then go and install the right driver. No seriously I have no idea but it might work.

I have had a cord go bad before. Funny thing is that it would charge just fine. Trust me sometimes it can be the cord.
Also I have heard of the phones USB port having a couple of bent pins. This can result in the behavior you're experiencing. The phone will charge just fine but can't be recognised by the PC. If they are bent back into shape everything will be fine.
Wouldn't it prove that the USB Drivers were functioning properly from being able to sync files, use adb commands, etc?
I'm definitely going to try it - in about an hour - but I still question what makes it work.

Have you looked at those pins inside the phone port yet?
You can notice if they are bent.

If all else fails try another PC.
I will try another PC.
In the meantime, I spoke to a friend, and we came to the conclusion that the version of Android SDK i'm using could be too new - the Galaxy Nexus was a product of 2011, after all.
Perhaps if I install an older version of SDK (however that's possible) I'll be able to root successfully? Just an idea.

I talked to a sales associate at my local mall, and he suggested I try http://www.cyanogenmod.org/ and it worked flawlessly. My phone is now unlocked, running CyanogenMod, and running Kitkat 4.4.
Thanks to everyone for the help! I hope all of your days are great.
