You lot seen this
not only does it seem to contain the drivers for galaxy for most os's
it also gives alot of nice functionality
Droid Explorer

i just installed it, flash recovery seems to be greyed out and i personally wouldnt try "apply rom update" lol
it allows access to some nice stuff though and will make things easier.
 
You mention that it has drivers for practically all OSs, but I can't seem to find a linux version... or am I not looking right?

when i say "most" i refer to the many versions of windows that the galaxy does and doesnt have issues with.

ironic that linux has an issue with android in general

it does say this
Backup the "Google Experience" applications and creates an update.zip containing the applications

however i think you should makesure you have 4.3 downloaded
download a fresh copy of the ii5 firmware saving to a location that is not compressed or encrypted (not desktop, "c:\Android files" would probably be best)
rename it to II5.tar then move it to the storage of the galaxy
boot into recovery and restore gapps

i have a feeling people are seeing issues cos the file has been through windows encryption or compression (going through my documents via protected account with protected areas)

Wonderful, this is another device I can add to the list of confirmed working.

Would someone be kind enough to run getprop on the following and post the values they return for this device, so I can confirm that I am detecting this device correctly:

Code: 
# getprop ro.product.device
# getprop ro.product.model
# getprop ro.product.name
Thank you.

try the steps on this guide
http://androidforums.com/samsung-i7...without-galax0-galaxher0-roms.html#post163257

there is a driver pack i included that should help you
keep device manager open on windows then boot into fastboot
if you see android1.0 then immediately click update driver, choose from a list, have disk and point it to the driver you downloaded, select samsung galaxy composite.

you have 15 seconds to do it.
reboot into fastboot and you should be able to flash the recovery.img

Had some problem with waiting for device. I then did the upgrade driver thing again, but I rebooted the phone into fastboot again before clicking confirm. Everything went smooth from there.

Hmm, I managed to get market enabler going and bought an app.

But now when I try to fix busybox so I can run your program I get permission denied etc while trying to set readwrite

It says operation not permitted.

ahh you are trying this when fully booted into the phone?
the kernal is not rooted so it wont let you do it
theres a difference between a rooted kernal and su root
all you have to do is boot into recovery then attach the device via usb and run the commands needed to apply busybox

Ahh, ok I did that now and managed to push it there. But ofc I continue to have problems :P

Now when I try to install it and when I do cd /system/sbin it says /sbin/sh: cd: can't cd to /system/sbin

-.-

what guide are you using?
on galaxy system/sbin does not exist

taken from a post from Pegasus some time ago when i was rooting
To install busybox on a firmware on the phone, there are a few ways. Easiest is to either use the rooted recovery v3 image or a rooted kernel.

If using the recovery, you'll need to boot up in recovery mode and connect your phone to your computer. For rooted kernel, just connect the phone when it's running normally and make sure adb is enabled in settings.

1. Run "adb remount"
2. Next push busybox with "adb push busybox /system/bin/busybox"
3. Create the symlinks with "adb shell /system/bin/busybox --install -s /system/bin" (you can skip this part if you do not foresee using the rest of the commands that busybox provides)
4. Modify cp's symlink to allow file managers to copy files "adb shell rm /system/bin/cp"
"adb shell ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/bin/cp"

I used the guide on the website, well I copied it to system/bin instead and when I tried to install it, it just spammed the window with loads of errors from missing files etc. But when I typed "busybox" the info came up. Plus it works now so I guess everything is ok :P

EDIT: ok everything isnt working -.-
 
I tried installing it, but at the end of the installation it said the setup has ended "permanently" due to an "error," and hence wasn't installed. I have Windows Vista (x64), and I tried both the x64 setup and standalone, but neither worked. Is anyone else having this problem?
