do I need a special driver for my new computer that is windows 8? also, I have tried to flash the Pac Man rom a few times but every time I do the camera and gallery doesn't work. I ha vent tried the flash pac man since i got the new computer so I know it has nothing to do with that, Any help would be appreciated and thanked. "GO RAVENS!!!!" (yes I am from Baltimore)
Nah I haven't had any problems with windows 8, rooting or flashing anything thru Odin with standard drivers for Samsung works just fine for me

Hi
recently, i decided it was time to wipe my computer clean and do a fresh install (you know, its like flashing roms, sometimes fresh is better) so i reinstall win 7 ultimate x64 and for the life of me, i cannot get adb to recognize my g2 with cm7 rc1... ive searched through several threads on installing the proper drivers, installed the most recent version of htc sync, latest android sdk, and nothing... its not such a big deal, but i would like to flash to the final of cm 7, but i dont like a lot of the fluff in cm7 (adw, etc) and find it easier to remove and change things around through adb.
thanks in advance
Did you use the installer to install the android sdk? I had issues as well with that one. Removed it and just extracted the .zip package, after that it worked fine.
This REALLY is a tricky one. In the past I've had luck installing both the HTC sync software, and PDANet. Between those two all the drivers seem to work for me in Win 7 64bit.
Why not just use a file manager like 7zip to remove/add the things you want prior to flashing. Or do you just like doing things the hard way?

Unless it's specifically a problem with Ultimate, there's no reason it won't work. I run Win 7 Home Premium x64 at home and the steps I said work for me.
I run 7 ultimate 64bit and adb works fine for me.
I used the pdanet drivers.
Flash with rom manager and then install zip from card..the adwmod zip that is..take it out for you

I have to agree with everyone else on this. I'm running Windoze 7 X64 and adb works just fine. I also have Ubuntu 10.10 64bit and Sabayon 64bit on my HDD (yay multiboot!) and neither of them have issues either.

i use winrar to change files around before i flash it, but lately ive been having problems with the edited rom (i.e. install fails, boot looping even after a data/cache wipe, etc) i just wanted to try a different route this go around
You could try another usb cord, and make sure everything is installed under admin,and the way I got my drivers I edit the driver file and added the info for G2 (saw it in tmobile forum) and also I have no problem with win 7 x64 aswell... and I agree I don't like all the extra puff and bluff oin cm7
well, i havent been able to get a wired adb to connect, but i have gotten it to work with wirelessadb and i am now rockin a modified cm 7 final
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?

Thanks Moe. Yeah I was afraid of that. Just got all my apps restored. Oh well. Well worth it if it works. Thanks again!
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.

Right SJ...I had heard that also. I really hope it works because if I do a factory reset and lose all my apps and data and it doesn't work...I am gonna lose it! LOL!

Windows 8 is problematic for some Android users(I hate Windows 8), is your phone a new one or old? My work laptop has Windows 8, you know I've never even tried to connect my S3 to it. I will give it a try tommorrow to see if I get the same results.

well i got my phone like a year ago and i totally agree with you windows 8 sucks. I think its my computer that doing that but im not to sure.In any case thanks for replying and helping me :victory: im going to test this on my sisters computer later and tell if it works.
I remember reading somewhere that Samsung KIES may conflict with Windows 8. I cannot remember where I read it though.
I have had luck with trying a new cable and/or switching usb ports. My desktop used to run windows 7 but now runs 8. I've never been able to use the usb ports in the front for transferring data with gs3 but the usb in the back works fine. I have also had to switch cables to get it working. Since you already have the proper drivers installed just try a new cable in a usb port in the back of your pc, that should do the trick. I hope that helps.

Well you can leave windows to find the drivers This worked for me and it found all drivers (ADB, Fastboot and USB). I'm on win 8.1 pro.

Hey,i got a galaxy w from a friend and i decided i put it to good use and give it to my sis as a christmas present.
the problem is,the os is old.i looked online and saw that you can download an update or something like that.(from 2.3.6 to 4.something)
so i looked around,downloaded odin and the files, connected the phone only to see that there are no win10 drivers.
i used kies (new and old),usb driver for it and tried different things.
but always it couldnt detect the phone at all(kingo,Kies) or not in downloading mode(odin)
my pc always detects the phone as a serial port or something like that.
i tried going in the directory of the usb driver,didnt work.
i tried downloading some .cab files ,didnt work.
im so tired and lost in in, please help
BTW im using win10 64bit
PS can someone give me a WORKING copy of jelly bean cyanogenmod?
Thanks for your help
