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.

i think this is not windows 8 error did you try to install the Flashtool drivers location at C:\Flashtool\drivers or anyother location you install your flashtool at and in the drivers folder

windows 8

Hey, I've been away for over a month now, and i need to update to windows 8, does anyone know if flashtool and ADB drivers work with W8?
I want to keep trying roms, but i really need windows 8 installed also... I could make a partition, but it would be so much simpler if they work... Thanks

Flashtool works fine with win8. if you need to re-install drivers you'll need to turn off the driver signature check that win8 has or they won't install
Details here on what you need to do http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1913245&page=3 post at the top
to be honest , that was the one of reason that i downgraded to windows 7 !
i've disabled " driver signature" ... but some timed i had problem on fastboot mode

What exactly was the problem? Fastboot via adb or flashtool? Or both? I already upgraded to 8 but haven't tested anything, perharps this weekend when I get the time.
Thanks for your answers.

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

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.

Have you tried flashing stock firmware COC2 with Odin over your current installation with just a CACHE wipe before hand? Are your driver's working correctly on your windows 7? Try the Samsung driver's listed here on xda.
yes i´m very sure that my drivers are working correct, also i have not yet flashed my stock firmware, because i thought i could get the MPT app on my phone running again without flashing the firmware, Many Thanks
PS : I think it is ES Task manager that have killed the mtp app from running in the background on my phone

Drivers for Win 10??

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
