Captivate USB Drivers Links Here

[maerlim]

64-bit and 32-bit Drivers specifically for the Captivate are now here.

If you have any problems getting the above drivers to work, try the Galaxy-S drivers here:
-64-bit OS
-32-bit OS

Edit: Changed links for the Galaxy-S drivers as the dropbox ones seem to have timed out.

I just tested all links in my post and they all work... Which one doesn't work for you?

 

[Donaldkbart]

was my internet sorry, thank you for the links

Hmm, I'm thinking this might be a good thread to be sticky. How do we go about doing that?

Request to mods. Just did it.

 

[OfTheDamned]

Alright, the thread is stickied or is that stuck? Either way, it is up there. Just let someone know if you guys want it taken down.

These are only necessary if you plan to root, right?

They're necessary to use the SDK, whether you're rooting or if you just want to use ADB to side-load some apps (which you can do regardless of root).

does these work on windows 7??


Duh: I just tried it and it works on 7. Thanks for the download

 

[mesasone]

This is taking a super long time to install...

Does that mean we can sideload without rooting? What are other benefits of rooting other than sideloading? Thanks.

Just picked up my Captivate.

These are the wrong drivers! The correct ones from Samsung are here:

Support for Samsung Captivate? (SGH-i897) SAMSUNG

Thanks Mr. Tony worked great! Got my teathering working perfectly now.

Are you hitting the "Software" link that's beneath the downloads tab?

 

[xaerie]

Are you hitting the "Software" link that's beneath the downloads tab?

Yeah. released July 16th, 3.74mb but no link for the download

 

[t-readyroc]

That's odd... There's a sort of a zip file image beneath the File heading in the table for me... I just tried to attach them to this post & it failed, so I uploaded it to my Box acct. Enjoy.

**Edit - It's amazing that this file's been downloaded 334 times to date, & not a single one of the people who've downloaded it have hit the "thanks" button. No love...

 

[xaerie]

Thank you very much. using the dev tools in my browser I found a lot of errors in trying to navigate with that zip button

Yes, if you just want to use adb to install apps, you don't need root, but you do need these drivers.

Using windows 7 x64 and these drivers both from samsung and posted above in first post say mtp usb driver failed insatll. Anyone help?

 

[howudodat]

Using either the drivers from the first post or the drivers from Samsung's website the samsung usb composite device installs, but the S3C6410 Android ADB and USB Mass Storage Device fail to install. I have tried with USB debugging on and off. Have set USB to mass storage on the phone. Not sure what to try now. Win7 64bit

ok, sorry to clutter this thread, found the other thread a couple of pages in http://androidforums.com/samsung-captivate/124548-windows-cant-find-captivate.html Win 7 would recognize the phone on my front USB ports, had to move it to the rear.
