First Time Setup
================

Before you use Galaxy Flasher for the first time, there are a few things you have to do:

* **Setup udev rules** - This is so Galaxy Flasher can detect your device.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Create a "/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules" file, and add the rule to it::

       $ echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"' | sudo tee -a /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

  3. On older kernels, you might also need to unload the cdc_acm module, to temporarily unload the module::

       $ sudo modprobe -r cdc_acm

     or to disable it::

       $ echo 'blacklist cdc_acm' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/cdc_acm-blacklist.conf

* **Select a flash-tool** - Select a flash-tool for Galaxy Flasher to use.

  1. Set the :doc:`Flash Tool setting <flashtool-setting>` to the flash-tool you want to use with Galaxy Flasher. See :doc:`here <changing-settings>` for how to change settings.
