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

Hello all,
My co-worker attempted to flash a rom onto his Vibrant today and the problem he is having is that it boots the Samsung and Vibrant logos and the lcd has crazy lines and also makes squeaky sounds. I read up on Odin3 v1.00/TAR/PIT files and here is the problem that I am encountering.
I installed the drivers (32 bit on the desktop XP)
Odin it running with TAR and PIT files selected and ready to go.
I first plugged the USB into the desktop and phone while the battery is removed, and then hold the volume buttons. Once the battery is inserted I instantly get the "Downloading" mode with the digging Android.
Now XP first was installing the drivers as it should, then it has the phone as a unknown device. So Odin can't recognize the COM to flash the phone.
What are the options in this scenario?
Thank you.
Make sure to run odin as an admin (right click>run as admin) if you're using xp. It wouldn't work for me unless I did that.

I ran as admin. Odin isn't the problem the problem is the phone/windows not recognized the usb even though drivers are installed
Try the program in the development section.
How is another program going to solve windows not recognizing the damn phone?

yes this and get Odin 1.7 or higher 1.0 and 1.3 have compatibility problems
Follow the info in the Noob post in the Gen Section by S15274N
Or you can do a search on how to do on youtube there are some very good Videos that will help you.......
Good Luck
you need to download the All In One Toolbox (AIO toolbox) in the Development section and install the drivers that come in that program..its actually a button on the program UI that says "install drivers" the drivers found by windows automatically aren't the ones needed by Odin. That program actually walks you through Odin.
::thanks?::
After installing AIO same issues, prior to download mode it recognizes the phone and then as soon as I reboot into downloading mod it can't recognize the USB.
Any other ideas?

What ROM is your co-worker coming from? If it was CM7 or one of the 2.3.3 Roms, then you will need the Nexus S drivers installed on the pc for Odin to recognize the phone in DL mode.
There is the toolbox

you're using the wrong drivers
Yep that'll do it. Grab the Nexus S drivers from their forums, and you should be able to flash odin.

As in the nexus one drivers?
Sorry for being such a noob, this samsung isn't as easy as my cm7 mt3gs
No, not nexus one, the nexus s, different model. There's a nexus s forum here at xda. The drivers are in their dev section. I'd link you to it, but I'm on my phone, and its a p.i.t.a. from the phone.

Whenever you have the chance can you link me the drivers? I've been looking high and low and most drivers I found need the phone to be in fastboot which is nice and all but can't install a driver on a unknown device.
Let me correct my previous statement, its been a little while since I flashed a 2.3 rom, but I am fairly certain the driver files you need are part of the android 2.3 sdk. If you don't have it, you'll have to dl it, unless someone can post them for you. I won't be at a pc until tomorrow at the earliest.

So I downloaded the 2.3SDK tools and when its at the green battery charging all is well but as soon as downloading mode gets put on its an unknown device
man your coworker is doomed.... when pc doesnt recognize the phone and you install the drivers.... Phone's usb port is not working.... That happened to my vibrant 2 weeks ago... I sended to samsung waiting for their answer.....
Ok, got a usb jig and can get into download mode no problem. I can't get phone to be recognized as anything other than an unknown device. Tried the samsung usb drivers as well as the adk drivers. 2 different pc's and 3 different cables. I am running CM7 and I want it back to factory so I can flash something that will allow me to save my family in the event of a fire. Odin never recognizes the phone. Is there someone who has went back to stock from cm7 on a vibrant and could provide me with the proper drivers?
Thank you!
What I did is I downloaded kies mini ince installed on the PC. Plug in the phone and it will download the required drivers for your phone. Once its completed power offthe phone get into download mode and turn on Odin. It should work. Worked for me

Hi,
got a S3 since a few hours and KIES doens´t install on my X64 machine.
It just hangs in the installer.
Any suggestions?
thanks a lot, nearly
Make sure your S3 isn't plugged into your PC at the time. For some reason Kies wouldn't install for me while my S3 was plugged into my computer. Hope this helps...
Yep. Don't use it! Use Odin to flash firmware.

You can use the SAMSUNG USB Drivers instead of Kies.

This is because of java - I can't remember which way round it is, but you either need to install it, update or uninstall it to get Kies to go past hotfix. I think its install
It's a common problem!
I have latest version of KIES and need to work with SMS messages etc but i can't connect it with PC. I have Win7, but this doesn't work. Why Samsung won't make proper software ?
I don't have any ROM installed.

hey everyone, so ive have went thru all the threads i can find, done alot of research and have come up short. seems like alot of the users with the Verizon I605 Samsung Note 2 have the same problem, not connecting to their PC's.
-ive restarted both my note 2 and my PC numerous times.
-ive installed/uninstalled/re-installed the official Samsung website device drivers
-tried other USB ports
-tried up to 4 different USB/Mini USB cords
-made sure USB debugging was switched on
-Tried Samsung Kies, come to find out it doesn't support the I605 Note 2
-called Verizon and Samsung directly and both actually offered me a position as a tech after i told them all the things i did to figure it out, because it was way more then they could handle.
i know it has connected before, as i have done it once or twice a few weeks back but now it wont connect, drivers fail to install, and nothing else works. i have also tried every other method mentioned in the other threads. nothing has worked.
is there any fix for this? was it cause by the latest update?
im running 4.1.2/ VRAMC3
and im using Windows 7
please anyone lmk if there is a fix for this. ive exhausted all avenues known to me. thanks in advance.
Happened to me too, it's USB port in your computer. If you have any other computer or laptop try using that.
You can also try wireless connection for file transfer.

Hope you found your answer. If not have this moved. This was posted in the sprint version of the note 2 forums.

The appropriate forum would probably be more helpful.
Plus, are you getting any error messages? I've had issues with connecting the Sprint GN2. If I install the Samsung Drivers, I get a "Missing Hardware ID" error. I just found it's better not to install drivers. Let Windows install what drivers it can. Not all the drivers will install and will get an error message about device not successfully installed. But enough install that the GN2 will connect so you can move files around for MTP. See a thread I did back in December, linky
Also, you can try out SG Flash Drive Enabler. I've tried it out. It works pretty well. It has quirks, but does allow you to use your SDHC card as a flash drive. You have to use the MTP to access the phone's storage.
oh man...*face palm* sorry about posting in the wrong forum guys, i was about to crash and i didn't even realize. my mad.
MODS: please move this to the correct Forum section at your earliest convenience, thanks :silly:
i have found that airdroid does work for wifi file transfers for such things as pictures, music...etc. but im wanting to root my note 2 and it needs a direct line from the phone to the pc to work.

You may want to use ToolKit. I believe it's setup for AT&T tool. Uninstall KIES and all the samsung driver on the your PC. Choose to have ToolKit install the drivers. It should get your enough connection for ADB to work and be able to root and install a custom recovery. I had to use it a couple days ago to get a custom recovery back on the GN2 and I was getting the Missing Hardware ID error and still worked.

Ive done that very process. Uninstalled kies and installed the toolkit drives. Some reason it would sort of connect but then disconnect. Never stayed on and wasnt able to be picked up as connected on the Odin program.

where did you go on windows 7 to turn off the above mentioned? the middle part confuses me a bit. so your saying you turned off the windows feature to look for driver updates when the phone is connected via USB?
if you dont mind, please walk me thru your process. thanks in advance.

Kies was un-installed per instuctions on the toolbox. i guess i could try and re-install it and retry everything.
EDIT: just remembered that Kies dosnt support the Verizon Note 2....lame sauce.

i am going to try to download a older driver that was working before and see if that works. its linked near the bottom of the above posted link in one of the replies. ill come back with results.
ok so i downloaded the samsung drivers version 1.4.6.0 and followed the directions on the link i provided above. the drivers installed successfully, but the CASUAL(R515b) No You Verizon! program doesn't seem to see the phone connected to the computer. and just continually loops. sigh...this is getting to get stupid. such a simple task yet its not connecting.
EDIT: the drivers SAY they have installed successfully, but the computer still doesn't recognize the phone is connected. even reads on the phone that the software wasnt found to connect to the computers, and the CASUAL program also tells me that the phone isnt connected....sigh...seriously....WTF.
When you install your driver's on your pc you need to restart your pc...have you tryed that?

While Kies does not officially support the VZW Note 2 it is the only way me and my friends can get our PCs to see our Note 2s, that's the only reason I ask and it is usually par for course. Its what's suggested in these cases if it isn't already installed. It can hurt to give it a shot and see if it helps anything, if not you can just uninstall it again.
