[Q] question about phone driver and Odin in windows

[congaman59]

I'm working on un-bricking my SPH-l710 S3. I am trying to use Odin in the process. I included an attachment showing Odin and my device mgr. If the zero is before the port # does that mean the computer isn't recognizing the phone? I don't see the phone in the device mgr. in windows7. I downloaded and installed the newest samsung drivers.I looked at the drivers after I plugged in he phone and both drivers had green checks that they installed. I also can see "SPH-L700" in devices. Iknow before when I used Kies I had to manually install the driver, but I can't member how I did that it was a number of years ago.

No - your phone is on COM7 and COM3 (it looks as if you may have 2 drivers installed). The 0 and 1 are device numbers, starting at 0.

You won't see the phone in Windows when it's in download mode (which it has to be for Odin).
