The Samsung Galaxy Core Prime USB drivers play an important role when you want to connect your device to a computer and use programs on that computer. One of the most popular programs to use on a computer for a Samsung smartphone like the Galaxy Core Prime is the Odin flashing tool. It’s the Odin flashing tool that allows Samsung smartphones and tablets to flash official software updates, flash new custom recoveries and rooting files. You wouldn’t be able to use the Odin flashing tool without the USB drivers working.

USB drivers can sometimes be very complicated things and for that reason they can be hard to find. There is a developer out there who you might know as Koushik Dutta and he has put together a very clever universal ADB driver available for all Samsung owners. The universal ADB driver is like a collection of drivers for every Samsung device, among other devices from other manufacturers too, and it will connect your Samsung Galaxy Core Prime smartphone to the computer so you can transfer your data and partake in Android development. It will connect your Samsung Galaxy Core Prime smartphone to the computer running Windows operating system much the same way your traditional USB driver would.
