Mista_J check your PM, Also make sure your USB Debugging is on as well

 

[Mista_J]

I was wondering about that! The tutorial didn't say anything about having usb debugging on so I didn't turn it on.

Added the download link for the drivers in the guide. If your having issues download the drivers from the link I provided.

 

[Mista_J]

Still getting the "device not found" even with usb debugging enabled.

did you install the samsung usb drivers on the guide. i would advise uninstall any samsung drivers and then click the link too the samsung support page for the phone and download the driver and install it without the phone plugged into usb port

 

[tommyjoesanders]

Also I went back over my guide and redone all the steps too make sure i didn't mess up on my directions and i had no issues.

How do you make sure that your bootloader is locked??

 

[Mista_J]

I installed the drivers, still doesn't work. Is there anything else I need to have installed? Does this work with Windows 7?
