USB Drivers for Epic 4G Touch

Does anyone have a link for the drivers for the Epic 4G Touch? My phone is not showing up on adb and I can't seem to find them.

they should be the same one as the epic no?

Should be there when they're released ... all that shows up right now is the user manual.

I don't think so.

what drivers are you refering to? are you trying to access your USB storage inside the phone on your computer or what are you trying to do? which USB drivers are you refering to?

Connect to the computer with usb debugging disabled. It will install a driver, then unplug, enable usb debugging, and you should be able to see it with adb

I installed the USB drivers from Samsung before I connected the USB.
This method does not work.
My computer does not see my device at all, though it is charging.
it doesn't mount with debugging on or off

Have you tried installing Kies? It delivers E4GT drivers during installation.

I did actually, and Kies couldn't see the phone.
Also, the phone did not see a USB connection, though it was charging
per the documentation I tried to mount as mass storage device through Wireless and Networking. This didn't do anything either, phone still charges.
I had borrowed the USB cable from a co-worker, I had him plug it in to his phone, and it works just fine, just XP machine sees his phone.
Turns out, its something with the cable.
rummaging around for another cable, I noticed I had my XOOM and its cord with me. Its the same type, but its the Moto brand one (if that makes it any different?)
plugged it in instead just for ****s and giggles. It works.
Phone just doesn't like his cable for whatever reason.
Now Win7 sees the phone, and Kies sees it (doesn't like the debugging mode but whatever)
His cable was an LG branded one. Any one know if there's something different?

I've tested 2 LG branded usb cables and they do not work. Same thing you described.
I found it in pull it out half way the phone recognizes USB and the computer sees the phone but if I try to transfer files I get a "device disconnected" error... Or something like that. I can see the files, just can't touch 'em.
I could not believe that the cable is have been using on tons of devices for years wouldn't work only on this one. I'd sooner believe it was the computer. So I grabbed a coworkers much newer LG branded cable and same thing... I still didn't believe it after testing 2 cables on 3 computers... Though I had a hunch from the first second I plugged it in I still can't believe it... And then I read this.
Explanation please, lol.

I downloaded Kies as well, and it did install a driver called "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device", but I don't think this is what I need (trying to root).
Whenever I open Odin w/ the phone connected, no COM port mapping number displays...

FYI - I had to use the provided Samsung USB charger cable for my computer and phone to communicate. Otherwise, my phone would only charge, but it would not show up as MTP-Connected (or USB Connected).

Have you considered getting your USB adapter/port checked for issues? It could be possible that the adapter no longer has the ability to send data, but only charges the E4GT when connected; try using another USB port on your computer.

Tried all ports --- updated all drivers... even formatted my computer... its definitely the phone.
I have three computers here and none of them are working with it --- and the weirdest thing that I just noticed === it seems like its just showing the charging animation... I left it plugged into my computer when it was supposedly charging, screen turned off, check back in 20 minutes and it had gone down by 20% --- it's just like its triggering the charging animation

If your phone will charge but won't transfer data, there is a strong possibility it is actually a problem with the cable. I tested 3 LG micro-usb cables which all worked fine with an LG phone, but would not transfer data with the Epic 4G Touch. The would only charge. I thought my USB port was busted at first also because I tried 3 different cables and this is the first time I've encountered a situation where micro-usb cables were not universal.

[Q] New laptop,replacement Epic4g!Laptop/Epic not recognizing each other!

Need Help! I know this has probably been addressed, but, couldn't find the post. :cyclops: So, received replacement Epic & have new laptop. Installed the Samsung drivers onto laptop, but, when I connect phone it only charges. No screen asking about USB storage like normal & nor does my laptop even register the device being plugged in. I'm running Windows 7 on an Asus x401a & downloaded drivers from Samsung & installed. When I connect, nothing happens. I checked & rechecked USB debugging, just in case, mock locations, and powercycled and still nothing. If anyone couldplease let me know how to fix, I'd really appreciate. Thanks![sSIZE]

Ok cool, just wanted to make sure you had the right ones.
It this a clean Win7 (x32? Or x64) install? Or is it a OEM install?
What model laptop? The more info you give us the ezer it will be to try & help.
Any other USB devices have ANY problems? I'm mainly talking about USB devices that need drivers, not a flash drive or hdd

Has anyone had a problem with this? The only way for me is to go into recovery and mount it. It's connected as a media device.
Thanks in advance!

Sounds silly, but did you try rebooting your computer? I had to do this the other day when mine wasn't recognizing my phone. Rebooted computer, worked fine after.

Samung's drivers are awful. I had to install, reboot, remove, reboot ad nauseum until I finally got the drivers to work. I also found I had to connect the phone then wait a few minutes before the computer would acknowledge the phone.

specteA 187,
I've only ever had the issue if I've tried USB ports on the front of my machine. For some reason those ports can be a bit flaky.
Plugging USB into the back of my machine causes no issues. Weird.

For me, on Windows 8, I have to switch from MTP to PTP, and then back to MTP for it to mount. It sure is wonky.

Yup I tried everything. The only way that works perfectly is to mount the drives via recovery.

I found that if my computer doesn't recognize my phone, I put my phone into download mode then reboot back to normal and the computer will recognize it. Kind of a pain to have to reboot 2x but seems to work for me.

I've had 5 Samsung smartphones (Captivate, Infuse, GS2, SkyrocketGS2, and now the SGNote2) andI use an XPSP3 desktop computer and have never had any issues with computer recognizing phone until the Note2. Odin3 works like a champ on the Note2... it's the plug-n-play recognition for transferring files back and forth that's problematic. Yes, I've uninstalled/reinstalled drivers, Kies, etc, used back ports vs front port... I think it has to do with the MTP file transfer protocol now used. Here's what works for me with the Note2 and the PC:
Connect phone to PC... phone's "USB PC Connection" box opens and you have 2 options: MTP(media/files) or PTP (camera). If PC doesn't immediately recognize device, I do one of two things which always works:
1. toggle between MTP and PTP a few times... if that doesn't work,
2. unplug usb from PC port and reinsert (either same port or another)
Windows Explorer will then recognize device and add "SAMSUNG-SGH-I317" under "My Computer" and list it under "Other" devices in panel.

I had this same problem today on my new N2. Drivers would not install. All I wanted to do was to drag my pics and music onto my SD card. I worked around this of course by removing the SD card from the Note and putting it in the adapter and doing it that way. I still haven't gotten my drivers to install. I may just get the drivers off the Internet

+1, my ONLY complaint about this phone.
I gave up trying to find a fix after installing/un-installing/re-installing drivers/kies/odin3 about a bazillion times and only getting it to work a random few times.
Not even worth the effort...
Dropbox is my best alternative. Sure sux tho...

Thanks, Should've mentioned that I've tried all of the above methods. It may be that, since I work on so many Android devices, my pc is just too full of incompatible drivers and I've yet to clear them properly. Even If i did I'm fairly certain that I'll be working on more devices and will screw it up all over again. My network is pretty quick and Dropbox/esFile Explorer is convenient so I really shouldn't complain.

[Q] No option for usb(mtp or ptp)

When I plugin the S3 (Sprint non rooted) I no longer get the option for mtp or ptp. I suspect it may have happened after updating to 4.1.2. Ive tried multiple pcs and usb cables. To make it even worse, it works on my note 2 for sprint. Any help is something

I don't have my phone hooked up to my computer at the moment, so this might be a little vague.
I've had this happen a number of times. Plug your phone into the computer via USB and go into the Windows Device Manager (assuming you're running Windows) and uninstall the driver for your phone. Look for something like "Samsung Android Phone" or something like that.
If there is an option to delete the driver DO NOT delete it, since we want don't want to remove it from the computer.
After it's uninstalled, unplug your phone from USB and then plug it in again. Windows should do its automatic driver thing, and hopefully you'll be back in business.
Hopefully this helps. Good luck!

Also make sure you turn usb debugging off prior to connecting the phone.

You have some old driver that is blocking access.
Use device manager to remove the device and driver then reboot and try again using the Google drivers.

Yes. It is fairly typical. I had same issue on Windows 7 x64 and lived with it for a while.
Finally, I decided to fix it by uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling. It took about an hour after trying all sorts of tricks. There are tricks in quite a few threads here on xda. I'm not sure any one thread fixes every problem. So I found the solution was trial and error.
After messing with driver for a couple hours, serious waste of time, I got MTP working once. As a confirmation check I uninstalled the drivers once more and let the drivers reinstall on plugging in the device. It broke again, back to PTP. LOL
Not giving up, I tried again the next day and finally got MTP working again. This time I uninstalled drivers again, and the correct drivers reinstalled on device plug in. Since then everything has been great. I get both MTP and PTP working great.
I would try sfhub thread ideas and search around for a couple other ideas too. It will eventually work, but you have to isolate what exactly is the problem on your Windows 8 PC. Sometimes you are missing just one thing, sometimes Windows automatically messes with you.
Good luck.
