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 Flash Tool setting to the flash-tool you want to use with Galaxy Flasher. See here for how to change settings.
