it's pulled? i downloaded it last night for ****s and gigs, and I have windows 7, it read my phone, but my hboot is now .96 and said was looking for .97... it took me a while to realize how to use it by putting it in ur platform-tools folder inside of adb,
I also have linux instaleld on my laptop, have you tried installed VMware and giving linux a shot to root it? might be worth it EDIT: lol I didn't see this was for windows. my bad.

lol its all good.
For all you windows users, i had never touched linux before last night and i installed ubuntu and booted it from my flash drive and had my phone rooted easily. Don't be afraid to try it, it was alot easier then i thought it would be.
You can always jump into the alpharev irc channel and get help, those guys were great help to all of us that were new to linux.

It's been working for me. Try uninstalling all HTC/Android-related drivers and reinstalling if you want to be careful.
No. I downloaded the windows aplharevx tool last week then when I seen it was released l couldn't download it cause it was not avail. So I ran the old one and entered the key into the windows program. . Has something to do with the drivers in hboot I think is the reason the windows s-off program is under review

I had the same issue on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I followed a youtube vid and it worked fine after that. I can't post links yet cause I'm too much of a n00b. So go to youtube and search for a video called: "How to install Android ADB/USB Drivers" by speedy0339. The download link for the 32 bit and 64 bit driver is in the description.
Hope that works for you.

Pop in the Ubuntu Live CD
Boot to it
Select "Try Ubuntu"
When loaded, connect your phone with debugging enabled.
Download the alpharevx package from their site. It went into the Downloads folder by default for me.
Drag it to the desktop
Right click and extract archive (this should make a little "alpharevx" file appear in the Desktop)
Right click on that file and in Properties, copy the file path
Open terminal
Use "cd.." (When I put something in quotes, you type what is in the quotes, not the quotes themselves) then Enter until you are at just the prompt with no path after it. for example.. C:\whatever... do a "cd.." and Enter and it will say just C:
Once you are at just the prompt, type "cd (paste path you copied from file)" and then hit Enter.
You can now type "su ./aplharevx" and hit Enter and it should execute the program. I did not have to type "sudo" only "su"
Make sure when it prompts you to install ClockworkMod, you put a CAPITAL "Y" or it will not install.
That should be it.
I'm from the Evo 4G section of xda and just bought an Epic 4G from a friend to play around with. I've rooted and fully customized my Evo 4G and my uncle's Samsung Infuse. So I am not new to the rooting side of these phones. However, I just can't seem to get this to work no matter how hard I try.
Ok so I have done Google searches and sifted through the various "fixes" here on xda....I cannot, no matter what I do, get my epic 4g to be recognized on my Windows 7 64 bit.
I've downloaded and installed about 3 or 4 different USB driver files. I've gone through 2 different cables. I've uninstalled and even updated drivers via Windows. And I've installed and updated Kies. I bought the phone from a friend of mine who had done a full system restore before he gave it to me. So if there were any system issues they should be gone. When I plug in one of the cables the phone shows that the USB cable is connected and I have USB debugging on. But my computer shows "Uknown Device." Does anyone have any suggestions for me please?
I've included screenshots of what my computer shows me. Any help, or reference literature that I may have overlooked, that you guys can provide would be extremely helpful.
There's a few reasons this could be happening. You may want to try different USB ports on your computer or connecting through a USB hub. Also, make sure you're using the official Samsung drivers (you can search for them on XDA).
Otherwise, go to the dialer on the phone and punch in ##8778# and under USB make sure PDA is checked instead of modem. Hope that helps.
I too could never get win7x64 to work but had no problem on other pc running win7x86. I wasted hours trying. Uninstalled everything, removed all references in registry, used usbdevview, device manager, different usb ports, win update, and on and on and on. Gave up since I had other computer and it just worked 1st try. Please pm me if u find the solution. Would still like it to work on 64 bit. My thought is the 64 bit driver, but I hear others are working. :-O

Mine works fine on my 64bit Laptop. I had to update drivers once though since going to GB leak broke it. On my desktop it will only work if connected in the rear USB port.

I've used atleast 3 different computers with 64 bit windows 7, I never did anything special except for download the drivers from samsungs website...
I don't know what it is because I couldn't get the computer to recognize my phone on my uncle's laptop (which runs Vista 32). It kept giving me the same "Unknown Device" message when I went to look at the drivers.

Welcome to the Epic 4g xda section! It just so happens I was looking for Windows 7 64-bit drivers earlier today.
Here's where I found them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798067
Then scroll down to the section "2.3 – ROOTING" and you'll find the listed drivers there.

That post and those drivers are old...
Go here and get the drivers from Samsung:

AFAIK, that package should install the correct drivers for the OS.

I have literally the same problem, phone was reconized and connected fine when i was running xp 32 bit, installed windows 7 64 bit and nothing i do will work. Was your problem ever resolved?
All i can say is try extracting the drivers thru 7zip
then extract the files it gives you
then u should see like a folder and then copy and paste the
folder in the c: program files
and then go back to device manager and then actually manaually search for
drivers and that should work cuz it worked for me im using Windows 8
unfortunately that is one of the exact ways I tried to do it, thanks for the input tho. Just incase I over looked something searching for the driver manually, what sub category should my phone be under in device manager? thx
For those having trouble getting the drivers installed in Win7(x64/x86).
A workaround could be to use WUBI (Ubuntu's windows based installer that adds an option to boot to Ubuntu, while allowing it [Ubuntu] to be uninstalled from windows like a "normal" program).
Install WUBI, boot to Ubuntu, problem solved!
If the point of installing the drivers it to get Odin working...
The WUBI workaround would still work, you would just replace Odin with Heimdall (which is 100x better/more stable than Odin anyway).
I realise this is a lot to do for resolving a driver install problem, but... Heimdall pwns Odin anyway.

and if your in download mode when you hook your phone up
it will show up under modem it wil not show until you connect your phone
Ok I had to do the following inorder for it to work on my windows 7 x64 bit
I download the samsung epic 4g driver samsung_mobile_driver_v1.3.800.0.msi
I then used 7zip to extract the file
I then used the msi file and installed it
I then used 7 zip and extracted the samsung_mobile_driver_v1.3.800.0.msi file to a directory
I then DISABLE ALL INTERNET ACCESS ON THE LAPTOP BY TURNING OFF WIFI AND OR PULLING THE LAN CABLE OUT THE PC.
I then plug the phone into the pc usb slot
let the pc find the drivers
if it does not find them point to the extracted directory you did above and it will be good.
now do ##8778# and place the bottom into pda and if it cant find drivers point it to the extracted directory.
now turn phone off and go into download mode 1 key and power button and let windows find the drivers

Oh... my... god. I spent hours today trying to figure out how to get this phone I picked up to show me its sd card as a drive. Everyone on the internet seemed to be saying it was the lack of the right drivers, though they all disagreed on what the right drivers were. I tried so many different drivers, no luck.
That above, that I quoted: all it took. Why would it possibly be misconfigured out of the box in such a weird, impossible-to-locate way? Jeez.
(Anyway, I know I'm bumping a super old thread with this first post, but I felt compelled not just to thank this person for restoring my sanity, but also to bump up this thread's relevance for future googlers going as crazy as I was going.)
Hi everyone!
So basically here's the problem: my SD card is messed up and there isn't an OS installed (I've been really dumb, I formatted the system via Clockworkmod..) I want to bring everything back to stock, but whatever I try, the phone won't get recognized in FastBoot mode.. Not in Windows, Mac nor Linux..
I've searched through an infinite amount of other threads, but those haven't been helpful.
I realize this is a vague description, but I don't know how else to put it.
I hope someone will be able to help me!
Can you boot to recovery? Can adb a ROM from there.

Yes I can boot into Clockworkmod but neither fastboot or ADB recognizes my galaxy nexus..
then your drivers are not installed correctly.
In linux, you have to add a 51-android.rules file to /etc/udev/rules.d with the following content:
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0660", GROUP="users"
After that, you have to restart udev or reboot. Then your phone should be recognized in fastboot and adb sideload.

i followed the tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070723
next problem is the 'no permissions' which i'm trying to fix.
If you have a look at the 51-android.rules from the tutorial, you find this line:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
There, group is set to plugdev which you are not necessarily in. Change this group to users or whatever group your user is in or add your user to the group plugdev.

When i try to add my user to plugdev, it says i'm already in the group.. is Ubuntu the best OS to do this thing in or should i try it on mac?
It's all getting too difficult.. The more I try and fail, the less motivation I get haha! You may leave it thanks for the help!
I gave it another shot on Mac, where I don't need drivers. Nor "fastboot-mac devices" or "./adb-mac devices" give any result.. The latter says: "List of devices attached" and then an empty rule..
I'm not sure if it comes available on Mac but if it does I'll let you know what I do when sometimes I erase my OS without having some sort of back up.
Grab the Galaxy Nexus Auto install .exe. Go through the setup find your device then download the drivers from within the program. Then hopefully it recognizes the device allowing you to push the downloaded rom from Xda to your device. If this wasn't what you need sorry to have bothered

Sorry for replying a bit late the exact words I was looking for was Galaxy Nexus Toolkit.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400871
So you know this will help install the gn drivers on your computer so its recognizable. Thus allowing you to use adb or if needed completely redo the entire nexus by getting rid of root and install the JB OS brand new. Then redo the process for root. Plenty of ways to get back an OS.
Hopefully this works.
Thanks for the help but it didn't work out I think it is because I can't turn on USB debugging as there isn't an OS installed.. Whatever i do, my nexus won't be recognized by the pc..
Are you in bootloader when trying to do the fastboot commands? If your phone can boot into bootloader and recovery then the problem has nothing at all to do with your phone. USB debugging has no effect at all in bootloader or recovery modes, so its not that! It is somewhere with the communication to your computer. Have you tried a windows machine yet. Honestly I have had best luck with windows.
Edit: just read that you tried windows...derp. Anyways keep at it your phone needs you!

Hmmm for some reason I can edit again.
..anyways, just to verify you need to be in bootloader mode the one with the android guy laying down to be able to use any fastboot commands. Everybody is kinda assuming you are but I just want to verify

I don't think you have the drivers installed. Once you plug in to the computer does the Galaxy Nexus appear as a storage device under "Computer"? If not then the drivers have not been installed and you have to do it with the Tool kit. If you need help I'll make a video for you?
Edit: Just like Dustin said USB debug doesn't matter if you can make it to the boot loader and custom recovery.

I can go into both bootloader and recovery! When I attach my nexus, i get a 'USB device not recognized' error, though i'm sure the drivers are installed.
I thought so of usb debugging because i tried the pdanet drivers and that driver installation couldn't complete without usb debugging being enabled.. I think to reinstall windows this weekend to get a fully clean start, and then i can only hope!

your drivers are not installed properly.
you need to remove any drivers you have now and install the universal naked drivers.
you need to get to the point where you can use fastboot devices and it will display a number.
I recently wiped my Windows 7 HDD, and installed Windows 8.1. Wanting to flash another kernel, I installed the SDK, JDK, and Flashtool drivers. Booting my XPlay into fastboot, Windows said that the USB device was not installed properly, and I looked into the Device Manager, and it said "Device Failed Enumeration".
Is there any fix for this?
Well I'd say to just put win7 into a virtual machine because alot of the drivers fail because of win8 incompatibility so try that
