*sigh*:(
im not this mean to my phone... but its really pissin me off... please help me...
 
Have you tried taking the USB drivers and putting them in the drivers directory of SWUpgrade? I did that when my phone wouldn't connect.

(C:/ Program Files > Samsung Electronics > SWUpgrade > Driver) is the default.


Do this, but make sure the phone is not connected when isntalling the drivers. Once the drivers are installed, follow the on screen prompts on the SWUpdater and when you plug the phone in for the first time windows should find the drivers installed and it should work.

OK. I know this is probably not going to be helpful. But it is what I had to do to correct this issue on my computer. Somehow one of the COM .dll was not being recognized even after uninstalling everything and reinstalling everything correctly. Something in my reg was messed up and I couldn't get it corrected. Since I keep everything on an external drive and just have the OS on the internal drive, I reinstalled WIN7 and I was able to once again use the updater. It took about 45min to reinstall win7 for me.

PS: Symptom was the same. My computer saw the phone but would hang after hitting start download. This happened after having the new updater installed and then being removed to use the old updater for flashing a custom rom file.
