I have a Samsung Captivate and am trying to sideload apks. I download the SWM and put my phone in debugging mode. When I select the apk and click install, it says starting daemon... error:device not found. My computer is a Windows Xp laptop. Thanks.

?I see that as a popular response to questions similar to this. But what exactly does that mean? Bear with me, I'm new to this. I've had my Captivate for 2 years and have never really experimented much.

Installed and restart the computer, when I turned it on, the computer recognized and my Samsung Android for the first time and I went through the installation of the .zip files there. However, when I tried to use the SWM, I got the same device not found error.

when you plug in the phone are you sliding the notification bar down and mounting it or are you simply plugging it in and running the program?

I have my phone in debugging. I plug it in and see "USB connected" and "USB debugging connected." Then I run the program
