[Q] Rooting with Windows XP?

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.
Sent From My Evo Killer!

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

[Q] unrevoked 3 doesn't even detect my EVO 4g

I've rebooted both my Mac and my EVO several times. I've also uninstalled UR3 and reinstalled the .dmg file several times.
I plug the phone into the USB and select USB debugging and nothing ever changes. Can anybody help me out?
My EVO radio version is 2.15.00.11.19 and that qualifies!
Any help would be appreciated.

Im on windows, but I know you have to install the unrevoked drivers on windows. Is the mac maybe the same?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

According to everything I've seen, the drivers are "built in" on the Mac!

Yea I think ive seen that too. Hmmm...have you tried fastboot usb mode? I never had to do it, but I Think (dont quote me ) you can use unrevoked via the fastboot, maybe search around for unrevoked via fastboot. Might be something there

I run bootcamp on this machine, so I am trying to do it using the Winders installer right now. Let's see....

Ok, I'm in the middle of it right now. Thing is rebooting as I type this on my Xoom.

It's on the clock work mod recovery screen. Oh crap, I need to watch the rest of the video real quick. Lol

So, evidently, some of these EVO units won't work on the Mac side. I successfully rooted the device using bootcamp and Winders 7...dang it.

try another cable...

It wouldn't have been the cable if it worked on Winders and not Mac, would it?

Phone recognized as unknown device when in download mode?

So I cannot for the life of me get my windows 7 64 bit to recognize my phone in download mode. I have installed and uninstalled and installed the samsung mobile driver to no avail. When I try to use the extracted drivers I get a "the best driver is already installed" message. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Www.samsung.com/support. Click on sprint, d700, then press select. Select "software". Then to the very right click on the little file and it will download the drivers.
Before u do this, uninstall ur so called existing drivers.

Also make sure you are using the ports that are directly hooked to the motherboard (the back)... and not the stock cable... use an htc or blackberry or some other heavy duty cable... these epics are very finicky!

Biggorron: how exactly do you advance install drivers? When I uninstall the unknown device it doesn't show up again until I scan for new hardware. Then it automatically installs a dummy driver for "unknown device"
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Schno, the method that I have stated above. That manually installs the appropriate drivers needed.

[Q] Not able to connect to computer at all?

Hey everyone, I'm having a problem where I cannot connect to my computer at all. I have tried installing all the drivers and I even reset my phone back to stock. Nothing is working. I cannot even connect to Odin. Can anybody help? Currently running stock touchwiz on Telus i747. Cannot connect to windows 7 or Mac.
Things I have tried:
Resetting phone to full stock
Reinstalling drivers
Reinstalling Kies
Trying different roms
Trying different cables
Trying different computers
I will connect the phone to the computer and nothing will show up at all. The computer just isn't recognizing it, yet it charges.

Not right now. I reset the whole thing to see if that would work and I still can't connect. Should I root it again?

It has nothing to do with rooting.
If your on stock, have you tried installing Kies?
Edit your original post to what steps you have done as your problem is too vague.

Try to uninstall the drivers you already have.(im pretty sure the prograam is like samsung mobile something). then dowlload samsung kies and it should install the drivers for you! then if you still are running in to problems you should click troubleshoot with Kies and it should work fine because its gonna reinstall the drivers again...
just wondering when u insert ur phone does it make a sound to ur computer does it say anything is connected ?

Have you tried accessing your phone through the AirDroid app? It allows you to upload and manage your files from your Web browser. It's not a fix to your problem but it could help in the immediate future.

Well i am new here so please what type of details you need..?

When you plug it in, does anything happen? Does it make a sound from the computer?
Does it show anything in Device Manager?
Are you using the Stock usb cable? Have you tried other cables? Tried all usb ports on the PC?
Have you tried on a different pc?
Wasn't trying to be rude, it just helps us help you when you include any details that you can think of. There can often be several causes to a given issue so it helps us narrow it down early on.
As for your current problem, are you also open to alternatives? Many if us use a wireless transfer app so we don't have to bother plugging in when we want to move a file.
I use FTP Server by Peter Pariet. Very lightweight, not a lot of features, but it does it's job quite well. Just a thought.
Otherwise, have you installed the usb drivers for your device yet? If not, this is why it won't connect.

Yeah when i plug it in it does makes a sound.. but there is no option coming in my phone about the usb storage.. i used many wires.. i used all the usb ports.. everything.. but i cant find the solution.. but there is an indication of sound when i connect my phone to computer in any of the usb ports..

Sounds like a driver problem. Uninstall then reinstall driver pkg. Reboot, plug in phone and go to device manager. Does it show up there? If it does, or if it shows as unknown, rightclick on it and reinstall drivers from there. Try connecting again.

I agree it sounds like a driver issue. If it still doesn't connect after you re-install, try shutting down your phone and pulling the battery for a few minutes. I had this problem once and this seemed to do the trick.

Gotta be patient man. We don't live here and don't always make it on every day, especially right when people want us to fix their problems. Not tryin to be rude to you, but you should give at a minimum, 24 hours before bumping your question.
I'm assuming you're asking about the driver reinstall, not how to pull the battery?
Uninstall driver pkg.
Plug in and open device manager.
Right click on the device and choose uninstall drivers
Reboot
Reinstall driver pkg
Plug in and try again.
