How to get adb work on Windows 8? So far I've failed. It doesn't detect. :S
ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge, Android being the key word here. I.E It will only work on Android phones, not Windows phones. I'm unsure what the Windows Phone 8 counterpart is but you can't use ADB.

I believe the question was about the PC part of the bridge. If I am correct I heard you need to disable drivers signature checking by Windows (google it, shouldn't be hard) and then it works like 7.

So I plan on rooting my Epic to cwm3/ext4 and all, but the only PC I have in my house is a Windows XP. My question is, will the Samsung Drivers work on an old Windows XP computer, and if so, would you recommend it?
Thanks.

I think so I don't see it being a problem since the drivers are made for windows in general
So I think you'll be ok

I guess you're right. I'm just worried that it's too old. I'll probably hold off for a bit until I get further confirmations. Thanks though.
It will work fine on windows xp as long as your system recognizes your epic.

Windows XP is fine. Just install.the drivers.

The drivers work fine on XP/Vista/7.
I have one-clicked, odined, adb-ed and so on from both XP and 7 machines.
Easiest way to determine if your drivers are good is to run Odin and put your phone into download mode (boot holding the 1 key) and then plug it in. If a com port shows up in Odin you are good to go.

That's what my problem has been. The on click worked and mass storage works but when I try to put into download mode computer comes back with not recognized or malfunctioning so might just be the computer I'm not sure

i keep hearing about adb(android debugging bridge) and im not sure what it does or why you need it. could someone tell me?
Not being rude but maybe if you google android adb you might learn something? Also on the dev forum i'm sure there is a summary in one of the sticky topics...

i tried looking on youtube but all i found was tutorials on how to do it
In a non technical way of describing, its a way of acessing and reading and writing to the android file system. You use it to send commands through command prompt. Some examples are formatting or making partitions, flashing recovery manually from the computer, running commands to find out certain things about the phone. Hope that helped some..

Like I said I already tried that. And red the post title, it doesn't say "can someone tell me to use google" if a google search fails then xda q&a is the next option

It isn't Google that "fails" its that you're not refining the search to give the best results and it takes less than 5 minutes to do just that but you're not asking for a tutorial on how to use Google.
(Another ADB explanation)
ADB - Android Debug Bridge or Terminal Emulator (on an Android device) is a way of communicating with an Android phone. You can send "push", receive "pull" and edit files and install or uninstall applications as well as many other things that work deep down beyond the sparkly user interface.
Somewhat off topic but that is usually peoples problems with google searches. Google can find everything and anything. The problem is HOW people search for it. Its hard to even describe, but you just have to know the way to type in what your looking for to get the correct results. I try to tell my friends this but its hard to put into words how to actually do it.

sorry.. but what do you mean by restore my kindle? And do you understand my issue just wondering so we can be on the same page lol
Did you check the box that sometimes shows when deleting drivers that says something along the lines of "Delete the stored driver as well"?
Also, just to be sure - delete all Android/KF related drivers while the KF is plugged in, then unplug it, run install_drivers.bat from KFU and then plug in the KF.
If you're not lucky, you'll probably have to resort to the manual installation method for drivers. More information here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23747671&postcount=2

Off topic comment: Windows makes it so hard! Its like Windows does something different each time you want it to do a specific thing. On the other hand, Linux is clean, Stable, fast, and persistent. Just thought I'd share my thought

Tried.. Useless the program doesn't respond and my phone doesn't even get recognized..
Make sure you have the drivers installed. I've also noticed that it doesn't always work on a USB 3.0 port, try it on a 2.0 one. I've never had the application crash on me... Are you running Windows 7/8?
