I had the EXACT same thing happen to me. I could not get those 2 files to install. After tweeting with DroidModd3rX, I went ahead and did the root through Odin and it worked like a champ. I am rooted and have SU access. I also had problems getting ADB to run properly, so I couldn't continue with that guide to install Clockwork Mod recovery. However there is a guide in the SGS3 General section that explains how to do it through Terminal Emulator. So this morning I also successfully installed that. Short answer is yes, you can root without installing those 2 files because I did it.
Why are you making a new thread in development to ask a question? Mods please delete

If you have windows 7, it will give you a "Windows Update" for the drivers.

So, trying to install the driver exe file from Samsung's website and it won't work. Keeps saying that it failed to install drivers. And, if I have the phone as USB Debugging enabled, it'll pop up with 2 out of 4 that says it failed to install.
My roommate was able to install the .exe file on his Windows 8 beta laptop (I'm running Windows 7 64-bit) without a problem. And, the phone installed fine on his laptop as well. For me, no.
If USB Debugging is not enabled, then yeah, the phone is fine. But, since I want to root this thing, it won't accept the drivers. And, nowhere on Google, searching or Samsung's website provides me any answers whatsoever.
I've done:
Going through regedit and deleting all things Samsung related
Deleted every Samsung folder on my hard drive
Rebooted the computer
Uninstalled the drivers
Reinstalled multiple times
Downloading and installing Kies (did not install any drivers, still failed)
I've done everything I can possibly think of. Couldn't find any answers on here, either. And, doesn't help that the search function is broken.
So, anyone have any idea on how to fix this? And, please do not say "Reinstall Windows" because that's just ridiculous and I shouldn't have to do that for a simple phone driver install. I had my Epic 4G before and that all went smoothly.
Go do something in control panel and uninstall the samsung drivers that you already have on your comp
Then try installing
But I reccomend reinstalling windows

I had the same issue with mine on xp. Uninstalled my et4g drivers and installed the gs3 drivers. After a restart, the pc finally recognized my phone as a mass storage.

And, I'm not reinstalling Windows all over again just for this phone, as I also said. But, it doesn't matter, I already got it rooted through the roommate's laptop.
EDIT: I managed to get it to work. My other half had similar problems with device drivers so just had to have me remove the phone from USB, uninstall driver and then plug the phone back in. And, it actually worked.
Hi guys im ready to root my phone. There is just this one more thing to do and that is to install samsung driver for my pc in order for odin to recognize the device. Where can i download samsung drivers? Thanks

Uninstall all previous drivers, reboot, install these, reboot again, plug phone in.
SAMSUNG USB Drivers for Mobile Phones (x86 & x64) v1.5.6.0: http://www.mediafire.com/?5fy7vwxhrhrpiwj

Try this thread. The OP is a few months old & there maybe more up to date drivers available now (have you hooked your phone up to your PC & run Windoze Update ?) but it's a start & only thread I know of on here off the top of my head that has a link to drivers on their own. Most people install Kies to get the drivers.
So...What I'd do is this:-
1) Hook phone up to PC & run Windoze Update & see if it installs drivers. Basically, if your phone & PC can see each other (you get the yellow highlight in ID:COM in Odin or you're able to transfer files to/from your phone/PC), you don't need to do the next two steps.
2) If your phone/PC still can't connect to each other after 1), get Kies from Samsung's website & install it.
3) Still no joy after 2) ? Install the drivers from that thread I linked you to.
If you're running Win7, the drivers normally auto install when you hook your phone up to your PC via USB. Older versions of Windoze might require one/both of the other steps.

Yes sir. My windows 7 pc can detect my samsung. So does it mean i dont need kies. Also i transferred music and videos into it. So there would be no problem with odin? Thanks thanks thanks

For the past few months I've been having problems with my Wifi/3G Tab 10.1 in that it can't be recognised at all by my laptop or my spare laptop in any Explorer-type program or Explorer itself.
I've tried everything that I can think of to fix the problem and just when I thought I'd fixed the problem in that the USB Hardware eject icon is showing up for when you want to remove it safely, the drives aren't showing up now in Explorer or Q-Dir at all!
Frankly, this is bloody pissing me off especially as I need access to the device to recover some files from it, so how can I fix this problem (I can't wait to buy a Transformer Pad Infinity or its next version as the Galaxy Tab 10.1 must be one of the few Samsung devices that I don't like!) as it's got some ebooks and other files that I forgot to transfer to my laptop before I screwed up by deleting certain folders by mistake.
If you have toggled usb debugging with no results the its most likely a driver issue on your computer. An easy work around for now would be to install Airdroid to be able to transfer files off wirelessly.
As for the driver issues what exactly is "everything"? Have you made sure to completely uninstall all Android device drivers? If so how did you do so?
I would recommend using something like usbdeview to uninstall all Samsung and other android devices, then I would reboot and attempt installing again with USB debugging off.

When I previously uninstalled the device drivers, I did so via the device driver option (my OS being Windows 7) available via the Control Panel.
I'll try your advice as well concerning Airdroid and usbdeview.
Don't get me wrong, I love Android as a OS, but when it comes to viewing partitions via a computer, it's just as much a pain in the ass as it is to view an iOS device.
EDIT: I downloaded and am using usbdeview right now and it's saying that the Samsung Mobile USB Composite Device (in this case, my Galaxy Tab 10.1) is connected properly but has no drive letter at all.
Uninstall it using that program with the tablet disconnected, reboot the PC, verify that the tablet is not in USB debug mode and then reconnect it.
Failing all this, repeat the process but prior to reconnecting do a clean install of kies.
By the way, your frustration is understood but its not like the grass is always greener on the other side. I have a nexus 7 that has MTP broken right now due to the latest 4.2 update.

I followed your instructions and it didn't work the first time even though I used usbdeview to uninstall the drivers.
I then reinstalled Kies after rebooting and even though the drivers were installed properly, the device still doesn't show up in Explorer or Q-Dir at all like before.
I am at a loss as to how to help you further. If the tablet is running fine and USB doesn't work with or without USB debugging enabled then it is either a cable issue, port issue or driver issue.

I guess I'll just have to wait until I can get my other laptop fixed to see if I can recover the files from the tablet via Recuva.
In any case, thanks for your help in the meantime as it's most appreciated!
I rooted my phone a while back with a one click root process that rooted it to a rooted version of the stock rom. Recently I recieved notification that Jelly Bean is now available for my phone and that I need to connect to my computer via usb to update. But, my computer keeps getting a "device not recognized" error. I tried to install Kies for the drivers with no luck, uninstalled the drivers from Kies and installed the others straight from the Samsung website with no luck. I have tried 2 different computers and three different usb cables, including 2 oem usb cables. I have windows 7 which may be the problem. Are there any work arounds like going to stock from my sd card? My phone is no longer rooted, but for some reason still has Superuser which i can uninstall still. I brought my phone to Sprint which the guy was really cool and informed me that its not the usb port on the phone and that odin is recognizing it, but odin on my computers doesn't even see it.

Did you have the Android drivers installed previously? I'm assuming that you're trying to install the drivers for the first time on that your computer and that you have USB Debugging enabled. I'll also be assuming you disabled driver verification, which can be a problem in some computers.
First you need to boot your phone normally, and plug it into the computer. Press Win+R to open the "Run" dialog and run "devmgmt.msc," which is the Device Manager. Look up the "Unknown Device" that is your phone and double click it. Click on the Event tab and check the Hardware ID in the drop-down box. It should look something like this (sorry mine is Android Composite ADB Interface because I've installed it already, but that's what it should look like in the end):
Now you have to make a new section in the driver inf. It should be in the google adt bundle and in the extras\google directory. The file name is android_winusb.inf. In the picture below my tablet is the iDeaUSA CT702. You need to add one of these sections in both the x86 and x64 section if you have a 64 bit computer. If not, just put it in the x86 section. The %USB stuff needs to match that in the Device Manager Hardware ID.
Now you should have a device called Android Composite ADB Interface or anything like that is fine.
It says there are no drivers and that there is no hardware id. All there is are device instance id. Im not quite sure where the driver.inf is located. This has been a pain for the past week. Hopefully we can figure this out. Lol.

I think there may have been something wrong with the rom. If i could just reinstall stock i think it would work. Just need to get the USB to read to the computer.

If you don't know where the driver is, then download a new one. I've uploaded the official Google USB driver to mediafire here: Mediafire - usb_driver.zip
You need to modify this driver, then when asked to select the inf file for driver installation choose the android_winusb.inf inside. After installation your phone should be recognized. Please tell me if there's any uncertainties you have.
Have you tried connecting the device with usb dev mode disabled? I know its strange but I've a few devices that use different drivers if the usb dev mode is enabled. I've also devices where I need to enable usb mass storage setting every time (settings menu or slide down notification). Also it never hurts to try a new cable, usb wires do tend to wear out and are very cheaply manufactured so they break inside with the slightest tug of the wire. I know most of this stuff is uber basic but I've made things much worse on countless occasions by overlooking simple stuff like this.

Good point. If you don't have developer mode usb debugging enabled, then there will be no "unknown device" as shown above in the device manager. Be more detailed about "no luck" please.
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II SCH-i605 which has the 4.3 OTA. I downloaded Saferoot, unzipped it - and tried to root. I am ALWAYS getting stuck at "waiting for device to appear"
My computer recognizes my phone as an installer, camera, or media device - depending on which I have selected. I have tried running Saferoot using 4 different USB ports, 5 different USB cables (including the original white one the phone came with) and EVERY time I get stuck at "waiting for device to appear".
Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.

Uninstall the drivers and reboot. Install the samsung drivers and reboot. ensure windows can search & and install from windows update. now try the process. the drivers are the toughest part of the process.

I am at a total loss.
I did everything you suggested. still no joy.
I did notice that every time I connect my phone I am given the RSA Key box and click Always from this phone...but it asks this EVERY time I connect my phone.
If I clicked Always ... why does it always ask me?
I am thinking I should have kept my Droid RAZR.........
I really do not understand how my computer recognizes my phone as an SCH-i605 with bot the "phone" and "card" as possible drives but the command prompt cannot see my phone...
I have reinstalled the drivers at least 3 times now - from the device itself, from the Samsung website, and from another forum on this site...nothing is working...
I even re-flashed the 4.3 .tar file using Odin and went through the entire process of re-setting up my phone...no joy.
Oh Android - why do you hate me so?
@jburchii,
You've probably done this already, but just making sure....Have you enabled USB debugging for your phone under developer options?
If not... you can find this in your system settings.

Yes - Did this...I am re-installing Kies hopefully this will work...oh the drudgery.
Update: I just installed Kies 3 - I currently have the Samsung USB driver for mobile phones installed (it is in my "Programs and Features)...still getting stuck on "waiting for device"
I mean NOTHING seems to be working. Does anyone who successfully completed this on an SCH-i605 have a copy of the driver they are using?

I've ran into this problem before and one or both of these fixed it for me.
Use the factory USB cable that came with your Samsung Phone
Try another computer
So nothing worked until I downloaded Safe Root.apk
Now I AM rooted on Nebulae 3.6.
