I've a Note 2, (has been sitting at 4.3 with safe root for quite some time, perfectly happy with it) Wife's S3 took a dump, and until we find a new phone for her which she LIKES (We're still Verizon unlimited, so buying a new phone from THEM is a no-go) We decided to get her another S3
Anyhow, she buys an S3 for from a guy on Craigslist, meets him at Verizon, they check phone (we've done this before) takes phone home. Now it's MY job to get some sort of root access on this 4.4.2 phone, so she can run Titanium backup, etc. After I figure out that towel-whatever is the answer, I plug her phone into my pc to transfer the apk over. I figured getting my pc to see her phone wouldn't be an issue, as the S3 and the Note 2 use the SAME Samsung driver install program....yet it was a BIG pain, finally worked it out, wife happy (WHICH, is the major goal in life for most folks reading this, I'd imagine)
When I later plugged my Note back into the pc, I got no end of "usb device not found" bs. (It's normally plugged into a Belkin powered hub) Tried different usb ports on the hub, tried different ports directly on the pc, same result. UNINSTALLED the Samsung driver program, downloaded new (still the same version) When I fire up the exe to install it, it gets to the very end...blue screen of death. EVERY time. Damndest thing I ever saw. (error had something to do with "not equal", I can run it again, if anyone needs said info)
Thanks
