Samsung Galaxy S (SGH-T959) development USB driver

Couldnt find the USB driver from the official website, so I’m archiving them here:

Both 32bits and 64bits are here. The phone tested carries model number SGH-T959

For linux, the default driver that came with the SDK will work. However, some systems (like mine) will show:

?????? No Permission

If this happens:

  • lsusb
  • Take note of the matching string for the phone (Bus 001 Device 039: ID 04e8:681d Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd)
  • The bold parts above are VendorID:ProductID
  • edit /etc/udev/rules.d (for details look at http://ucla.jamesyxu.com/?p=126)
