Go to the drivers folder that heimdall comes with (just for reassurance!) and run zadig.exe
Your player has to be plugged into the computer in download mode.. and click list all devices... then Install the driver for the Samsung one... After that, flash or do whatever you you doing before.

Just unplug it from the computer reboot in to download mode again. Than while it is in download mode reconnect it
And flash again it should work

Just as a random tip it seems (this may only be me!) that if you use more than one tool e.g. Heimdall, Odin and ADB. Then using the same USB for all your work can create driver issues. I have had to delete my USB drivers then re-install them a couple of times to get it to recognize my device after I used the same USB port with two different problems.

I might have missed the perfect advice in searching here and there, but I couldn't find it, so I'm asking here.
I tried applying a nightly build for Cyanogen for Vibrant and now the phone is basically bricked.
It starts up, shows the Vibrant logo, brightens a bit, then shows a screen that in a second or two fills with random color noise, then restarts. This cycle repeats until I pop out the battery.
My model apparently won't respond to vol/power keypress combos to activate recovery or download mode so that was out.
I bought a microUSB jig and was able to get in download mode but ODIN doesn't ever recognize it.
I tried the adbtool to send it into recovery but it doesn't see the phone either.
I tried the AIO Vibrant Toolbox to reinstall drivers/odin/etc and it didn't help.
Finally just watching device manager seems to indicate that plugging it in and out doesn't absolutely nothing. Windows XP never sees a connection. I tried on a Windows 7 machine with similar results.
Any suggestions? Out of warranty so that means no replacement.
Thanks.

Since you flashed cm7 you will need to install the Nexus S drivers. The regular Vibrant drivers will not work so that is likely why ODIN wont recognize the device. If you can get into download mode you shouldn't be hard bricked. Here is a link to download the Nexus S drivers (I believe this is the one I used)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8116690/Nexus S drivers.zip you might have to manually install this.

This. If you are able to enter into Download Mode, you aren't bricked (unless you have a really really really bad luck).
This was extracted from the CM7 Q&A Thread on the Q&A section:

Q: Where can I get the Nexus S drivers?
A: Download and install the Android SDK here then download "Google USB Driver package, revision 4"
Once downloaded, right click on "Computer", "Manage", "Device Manager", "Nexus S", "Update Driver Software", and point it to wherever you isntalled the SDK

Djluis, Good write up and assist...........
Thanks - I did try the above but when my phone is connected via USB the computer doesn't react at all. It's like I haven't plugged anything in. My other phone, a Nexus One, is recognized though.
Any ideas on how to force the install of these drivers before I have to pay connexion2005 for his services?
Thanks.

Uninstall Samsung drivers, reboot PC, install drivers from aio box found in sticky thread or from samsung website. It should work. Also try heimdall if odin still doesn't work.
Sent from samsung vibrant
Tried the uninstall - no luck.
One issue... I'm not sure that USB Debugging Mode was selected before this all started. Could that be my problem?
Kermit Woodall
Hi,
try a different usb port and different usb cable
No luck. I suspect that this unit has a slightly bad USB port as well. Fortunately unbricking is affordable so that's what I'll have to do.
Thanks everyone for your advice.

go to best buy, get a blackberry or HTC usb cord. most if the "bad" usb ports are the sh*T%y korean cords ( not knocking the people, just the company )
Thanks - I actually tried several USB cables - including some HTC and a Motorola one. None worked w/the phone - but worked fine with any other phone.

I've searched but am unable to locate the answer to my issue.
I recently upgraded to a new computer. The old one was a 2GHz dual-core running Win 7 Home 64-bit. The new one is a 3GHz, i5 running Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit. For the life of me, I cannot get the USB driver to start.
On the SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device properties I get "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
I have downloaded, installed, uninstalled and reinstalled Samsung drivers from multiple sources, including the drivers from Samsung's site.
I've installed, uninstalled and reinstalled Kies multiple times.
I've moved the cable to different ports on the PC.
I've clicked debugging on/off
I've selected MTP instead of Mass Storage.
I've rebooted the PC and phone multiple times after these installations.
Nothing seems to help. I continually get the same error.
Anyone have a suggestion before I take this phone and throw it against the wall?
When I run into that issue, it usually turns out to be a busted USB cable.
Either switch the cable or inspect the port on your phone to see If all the pins are aligned

Try uninstalling KIES and install KIES Mini to try and get the proper drivers installed.
If that doesn't work it may be an issue with the custom ROM and/or Kernel. I'd suggest flashing over to something else to see if that fixes the issue.
SOLVED!

Well done BROKKANIC! It must have been the AOKP ROM I was using. I updated to the latest update and now the composite device is working. With my Captivate, Artix and SGSII, I've flashed ROMs hundreds of times and this is the first time I've ever run in to this problem.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Ask in the appropriate forum for your phone please.
Hello!
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on 2 different machines and have been trying to root since I got the phone yesterday with no luck.
I have tried using Windows 7 and Windows XP running in VirtualBox with Odin using the method outlined in the video by qbking77.
I have also tried the same method but this time using Heimdall from within Ubuntu.
I've tried the Heimdall method on both computers and have run into a few different issues, one of them being that Heimdall (from the GUI) doesn't like the both the .tar file and the .img file when I extract it from the .tar file (it gives error messages but I'm not in front of the computer right now).
Another issue I'm having with Heimdall is when trying to access the device itself. I put the device into download mode and try to download the PIT file and it gives an error about not being able to initialize. I know the latest version of Heimdall isn't confirmed to work with this phone so I have not tried any commands that push data to the phone, only commands that pull data from the phone. Heimdall does detect my device without any problem.
I have rooted several devices in the past including a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (which also had trouble with Odin and Heimdall but I was able to root without them)
My question is: has anyone successfully rooted without Windows, and if so how?
As a side note: I have been searching the forums and Google trying to resolve these issues and cannot find answers, and other than VirtualBox I do not have access to any Windows machines.
I don't expect anyone to diagnose the specific issues I'm having without me providing exact error messages or anything but I'm looking for general information on rooting this device without Windows.
Thanks in advance for any input.

I didn't install the drivers in linux, but you can run odin in linux [using wine], and assuming you have the drivers installed, you should be good to go.
Wow, I can't believe I never thought to try wine!
Would I install the Windows drivers under wine or are there Linux specific drivers?
Thanks for the reply, I'll have to try this when I get home.

No prob man, here to help. I would try the windows drivers through wine.
Samsung USB drivers will not work in Wine, thus Odin has no chance of working there. Indeed Heimdall does not yet support SGS3.
Team Epic's instructions and CWM .tar.md5 is known to work with Odin and Windows with those Samsung USB drivers.
Okay, tried Odin under wine as teh roxxorz suggested and it did not work (as CMTeamEpic pointed out)
Came back to the thread and saw CMTeamEpic's reply so I tried a few more things in VirtualBox and got Odin to recognize the device now but when I go to flash the file the virtual machine reboots (scary!).
Phone is not bricked but also isn't rooted.
I think I have VMWare with Windows XP on my other computer so I will try that next. I know sometimes VMWare can run certain things smoother than VirtualBox at times so we'll see what happens.
I wish Samsung phones didn't need Odin (or Windows specific software in general) to root. I'm open to any other suggestions, I'm not a n00b and I'm comfortable with using ADB if I need to (no offense to any n00bs :laugh
Thanks for the help so far guys, I'll let you know what happens with VMWare.
Guide is now posted in development.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk 2
Alright, tried Odin again under VMWare instead of VirtualBox and everything went fine. Flashed CWM Recovery in Odin and then went into CWM and flashed the zip file to get su, installed busybox and now I have root!
Thanks guys for your help. :highfive:
On a side note, I think it's pretty ridiculous that I spent 2 days wrestling with this and doing everything correctly except for the fact that it just wouldn't work with VirtualBox. Hopefully anyone who runs Linux exclusively who is trying to root this phone will see this and just avoid VirtualBox all together! VirtualBox runs well for most things but VMWare does some stuff better... and I'm pretty sure VMWare Player (as opposed to VMWare Workstation) is free.
Now to figure out how to compile a kernel and build a rom... maybe?

I have recently starting going through the Java Developers tutorials for application development while using Eclipse with the Android ADT plugin. I got to the part where I had to actually run the example application on my device where I encountered my error. Whenever I run the program, I get an error about "no compatible targets found" while my Galaxy Player 4.0 is connected via USB to my computer. I'm assuming the issue is the fact I can't find the drivers for it ANYWHERE. I tried getting the Samsung Kies program because that's what everyone said to do but I have no idea how to get the drivers from it and everytime I try to hook my Galaxy Player up to my computer with Kies, it gives me an error:

Hello guys, im really in trouble. I have a general mobile e tab 5 tablet and i'm living some problems. This tablet don't have an microsd card so i can't setup anything from microsd. Don't have an os and when i connect to computer it's not being visible. I setup sdk android tools, fastboot or smth. This didn't work too. I'm updated the java things and it's still not working. I can't wiping datas, it's giving error like "failed to mount '/cache' and '/data' (invalid arguments), Unable to mount storage" and i can't doing any little thing. Im totally stucked, no way, im thinking only i can fix it from terminal but i don't know what i should to write I don't know what i should to do. Really i need help guys. Also ADB sideload not working too as i said, it's not being visible on computer. (Sorry for bad English.)
Is it detected by your computer (showes in device manager) but no storage or is it not detected at all?
You may need to install/reinstall usb drivers for ADB?

Nothing being detected, also i'm always keep opened the fastboot (from adb shell, sdk tools) with command "fastboot flashall"
You can check the picture. (I couldn't insert to image because i don't have 10 messages. )

I did everything, i deleted every usb drivers and setup again. At the same time i deleted from device manager every usb port and i setup again all of them. It's not detectable. In twrp MTP enabled and im opening adb sideload.
Just judging from the image you provided, it looks like your drivers are not installed properly. There are a few different drivers you can try, googles, Universal Naked Driver, Motorola, etc. I would suggest trying a different route than the one you took already. Your device is not being recognized, it must be related to the adb USB drivers.
