With the USB, NEVER use the stock cable for anything but charging, ALWAYS plug into a USB port in the back ON the motherboard of your PC (or guess and check with laptop), and installing drivers is crazy... what I do is install them, let it go thru a few diff. device installations, I think it hangs on modem usually, after it has hung on one device for like 5 mins, then unplug the USB and replug it FAST, it will usually trip up the driver install and keep going. You can see if your connection is consistent by opening odin, connecting the USB, then let it sit for a while, it should say connected! and disconnected! if it is a bad connection, if its good it should stay connected. Im pretty sure Odin doesn't recognize the Epic unless you're in download mode, and thats the only way you should use it. Sometimes you have to reinstall the drivers a few times, it sux, but once you get a PC set up to work, it should stay that way, given the same USB port and cable, etc... if you have to reinstall the drivers, uninstall, reboot, install, reboot, go into odin... hope that helps... if u need more info, look on xda at the old info about the oneclick roots, from when it was inconsistent, there were tons of threads about getting adb and odin to connect, as it was more consistent to input each command off the script one after the other in adb shell... took a few, but was faster than 30 tries of the old oneclick... now the oneclick is pretty flawless.
