I cant seem to get the drivers to install properly. I downloaded the files from Samsung website and also from the forums. The drivers install but when i plug in my phone i get an error it says the required section was not found in the INF. I've even uninstalled and reinstalled and the same thing happens

I don't know exactly what you need the drivers for, but perhaps this might help?

Is your USB debugging checkmarked?

Check debugging and try a different usb port.

Here's what I would like you to try.

1. go to your computers control panel / add and remove software (win xp) or programs and features windows 7.
2. Uninstall Kies and Samsung drivers.
3. When complete, restart computer and phone.



4. Install the drivers on your computer but do not plug in your phone until it has completed.
5. plug in your phone that is already started. It should now recognize your phone and at the bottom right corner say it is installing the software for your phone. click on view details. Several drivers should load and as it progresses green checks will appear when successful.

I had the exact same problem a couple of days ago. My laptop crashed and I had to reinstall the OS (XP). I didn't do the Windows updates.
I tried everything... install, uninstall, cables, ports, yada, yada, yada. Gave up for awhile (Frustrated). Decided to let windows do it's thing (3 hours). Afterward the drivers installed no problem. Alls well in GS3Ville once again.
Hope this helps you out.

EDIT: My girlfriend was having a problem with the drivers... She then went the Kies route and that solved her issue.

Well i was able to get the drivers to install on to get pictures off my phone but the drivers for mtp won't install.which it looks like i should be able to us kies.but kinky question its what drivers do i need to have working to be able to root my phone. From my experience worth my optimus if you didn't have the drivers right you'd never be able to root

For the most part this is true. Did you follow the steps I posted?

[mcasas]

yes

[Skunkape60]

yes

I would try again with a different cable and different port. Also uninstall kies at the same time when you uninstall the drivers. Do not install kies.
