You need to turn on USB debugging on your phone (settings -> applications -> development). Then you'll end up with one driver you can't install, which is the adb driver. You only need this if you're going to be using the SDK.

I'll post the driver in the next post anyway in case you want it (in case they go into moderation)

Anyway I'll copy a post I made in another forum....

Turn on USB debugging and then if you plug in your phone and open device manager what do you see?

If you only installed the NPS drivers (from program files\samsung\usb drivers) you should see:

Under Modems - Samsung Mobile Modem #x - where X will be some number like 1 or 2 or 3. It just uses a new number for each USB port on your computer.

Under Ports (COM & LPT) - SAMSUNG Mobile Modem Diagnostic Serial Port (WDM) (COMXX). Again the number XX isnt relavent, and is just the com port associated with the next free virtual IRQ windows has available.

Under Universal Serial Bus controllers - SAMSUNG USB Composite Device

And if you install the ADB driver you'll have a category called ADB interface and SAMSUNG GALAXY Composite ADB Interface

If all is installed properly NPS will display 2 storage devices and GT-i7500 on its main screen. If all that is correct then you should be able to update. You still wont be able to sync because NPS is still broken!

If you don't have the adb interface you'll have a yellow questionmark with unknown device. Download the two drivers I posted, and go to properties and update driver, and point them to those drivers.

If you don'y have SAMSUNG composite device, then windows hasnt enumerated it as a composite device. Do this:

- Unplug the phone, and open device manager and look at the 'Under Universal Serial Bus controllers' section.

- Plug in the phone and look for a new device that appeares there.
It will probably be listed as USB Mass Storage Device. If you have multipe USB Mass Storage Devices and you're not sure which one is your phone, check each one..

Right click -> properties and then details tab. Drop down to hardware Ids and look for Vid_04e8&Pid_6640. Once

- Once you have found the correct device go to the Driver tab and Browse my computer for a driver.

- Click 'let me pick from a list of device drivers'

- Uncheck 'show compatable hardware'

- Scroll all the way up to Standard USB Host Controller under manufacturer'

- On the right select USB Composite device and click ok

A bunch of driver requests will now pop up. Point to the two drivers i posted above and Program Files\Samsung\USB Drivers untill you find the correct driver.

All done

Thanks Kam.

I reinstalled PC Studio and added the missing drivers and it's currently downloading II4.

Winner!

Is there anywhere you can get info about what each update fixes etc? Obviously I'm going from H6 to II4, so I expect a massive change in battery useage, but I'm interested to see what other tweaks have been done.

Any idea's?

There arent really any changelogs. Some forums (android-hilf) list some changes they have found but those arent always acurate.

The main changes from FF/G to H were the reduction of reboots, and the extra RAM available (upto 40mb). This also increased battery life.

The main change from H to I is a much better keyboard (ok it looks the same, but its alot easier to type on), slight speed increase, better battery (subjective), and final fix for the reboot problem. However now there's another problem were it reboots if the location API can't get your location for a long period of time :-/

Not a fan of the new keyboard. and they've taken away the "one touch smiley" button and replaced it with a bloody language options button. Pointless?!?!!

Haven't noticed anything on the battery either. See how it goes though.
