It says I dont have proper drivers? I got samsung kies on my computer do I need it on my phone as well? It wont down load onto the phone (maybe because only eu phones have it available?) I need a superoneclick link maybe that has proper drivers! Can some one help me out, I've tried alot of things even broke out the old laptop(I run mac now) it's running xp, if that helps. Could some one help me root this bi**h!!
I really need input it seems i'm not getting any answers on the posts that help others figure it out. I have tried ALOT any help would be great!! anything!!!

no you don't need it on the phone just install kies and connect the phone and make sure debugging mode is enabled

Exactly what he said...
That's because Kies loads the correct drivers for the Infuse.

So do i click the update firmware? it just stays paused on loading for like 20+ minutes!! Also I tried to root it with superoneclick after i installed kies and it still said i have the wrong driver!! and freezes up or just says checking drivers then failed it the freezes on waiting on device...
I feel like a fool ive tried way to many times, I just plug the phone in i debug and unmount the sd card. am i supposed to select the usb mass storage or something!!

No need for that..... Just install LATEST version of Samsung Kies and your pc will have the drivers. There are a lot of versions floating around out there and only the newest one has the Infuse drivers.
Once loaded just use super one click again and it should work.
If it's not working, try latest super one click and try again...
And yes, be in debug mode and have it on mass storage device.

Does anyone have a good link to a download, all the ones I find for the newer ones are mirrors to some bs paysites. Also I can't even hook up to kies due to the fact it needs to be in "PC studio" mode I can't find that on my phone also before I would plug in my phone it would say "update firmware(samsung kies)" now its not there and it never updated, is that the problem at all.

Infuse XP Drivers
I have an issue here, my laptop crashed and I lost everything on the drive. I'm trying to find the XP drivers for Infuse. Can someone please point me to a working link for these drivers?
I'm running SuperCM7 on my Infuse and am needing to get BT working so I need to reload it to something different.

[Q] I cant get odin to recognize my sk4g after soft brick

Well I finally rooted my sidekick and went to backup the stock rom via rom manager and it rebooted and never got past t mobile sidekick boot screen so I downloaded odin the pit file and the tar but when I put my phone into download mode i cant get it to recognize the sidekick when I plug it in it just says unknown device and i have the driver down loaded any help please

Windows can be picky about drivers sometimes.
I recommend uninstalling the driver, opening regedit, and manually deleting any remaining registry keys associated with the Samsung drivers. (This will take you some time.)
After that, reinstall the driver and try again.
I think you may need to google some of what I said here to get it done. But, you can do it if you take some initiative.

well i tried deleting kies and reinstalling it whitch i thought it was the driver if im wrong or theres a more direct driver can someone tell me when i plug my sidekick in i get usb device not recognized message

Ok. Give me some information.
I need to know what you installed as a driver. I need to know what Odin you are using. I also need to know where you got your information; what threads did you search for and read?
Is Windows complaining when you plug the device in or is the Odin program just not seeing your device?
When we do get your device back, also consider the risk/reward here. These customs aren't really offering the earth shattering things you might be hoping for. We're geeks and we are splitting hairs when we talk about improvements. The truth is, the final official KJ2 is a reliable and stable OS on its own. (If it wasn't, developers would be basing their work on older versions.) It's just something to think about...
Anyhow, get some more info out here and we'll help you Odin back to stock. After that, it's up to you.

well i got a drive from softpedia as well as kies and i searched various forums and topics im using windows xp sp3 and odin 3 as well as got the pit and tar files from lins on this site i
windows is the one that wines when i plug the phone in it says unknown device and no drivers for device found

You should have downloaded a Samsung USB driver for Mobile Phones. At one point, we were using Vibrant drivers to access the phone. Did you get real Samsung drivers for this phone?
You do NOT want to use Vibrant drivers.
Also, let's not rule out a hardware problem.
If you are rough with your phone's USB port, you can bend/break a pin in there. You could have a bad port.
If your phone isn't working like a USB pin drive on any (and every) computer you try, you may have a problem.
You should also check your cable and the physical port on your computer.

i got the kies from the samsung web site it was under the sidekick model nuber and showed a picture of my phone also i believe the softpedia driver was probably the vibrant driver

FYI, Kies only works if can get booted. We won't be using it until we can get a proper recovery of some kind.
What is happening? Is it just sitting there and vibrating over and over? Or does it appear to be rebooting?
Does it keep showing the t-mo logo flashing on and off the screen? Or is it just sitting there vibrating?
If you seeing the logo and the device is rebooting, you must use the Odin tool. If it is just hung up in the boot process, you can use Android Commander to get into clockworkmod.
I'm going to upload you some files. I'll private message you a link to download them.
We'll close out our public discussion here.

yeah installed the driver and still nothing.... i can't even mount the sd card to transfer music....

sry i couldn't help more...
consider the starting process a due diligence.

Download Samsung Kies to get the Drivers for your phone.
Make sure USB debugging is checked in the settings
Put phone into DL mode and run this.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613523..

... And don't use the stock usb cable. Use a good cable with visible prongs on the mini port.

[Q] please soo stuck

ive rooted an flashed my lg optimus 3d there only one rom that works as all the other roms just keep restarting the phone. i think because i didnt update to ics or something to do with baseband im not sure,i was on gb and still am, iv tried various methods of trying to restore my phone to stock so i can start again but i crnt update the omap drivers as device manager is flashing on and off and when i get chance its says parameter is incorrect, anyhelp to restore or get my phone to ics would be much appreciated please please

For custom ICS ROMs, yes, you have to first install 'regular' ICS. For that as well as driver install:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195753
Then you can install any custom ROM based on ICS.
You should be logged onto pc as administrator...

hey thanks for the reply i have done all that but the omap driver just wouldnt intall or connect, iive tried a few methods but they dont seem to be working dont know if its through sheer tiredness or now impaitience to get it done but ive now complety baffled myself as im stuck with android guy with a red triangle on boot screen no recovery or anything, not sure where to go from here even to get it back to stock

As described there when it is blinking in device manager you will need to quickly right click on it when it appears then force install it.

Hope it works

if all above not work change your usb cable & your pc device .
and try again
