USB Modem Drivers: [here] (Used if PC Studio doesn't load the proper drivers or you just want standalone drivers)
For a Tutorial on how to install the drivers manually (without PC Studio): [here]

*****************************************************
Installation of PC Studio IH1(photos are of pc-studio v3 for eternity. Pc-studio IH1 should be similiar.

1. Once downloaded run the setup file. (Make sure the phone is unplugged)


2. Now Connect your USB Cable to your phone. Make sure the phone is set to 'Samsung PC Studio'.
(Menu -> Settings -> Connectivity -> Select USB Mode -> Samsung PC Studio)
Let the drivers install.
->

3. Once finished you might have to restart PC Studio IH1 as well as your phone to detect properly (while still connected). Once detected it should say 'SGH-A887 Connected'.

This Concludes Installing Samsung PC Studio IH1

[The following method contains procedures that add/removes files into the internal memory and has the potential to brick (unusable) your phone. Users at this forum are not responsible for anything that you do with your phone. Do this at your own risk. With the Master Key the risk is less to none but the possibility is still there. ]

Installation and usage of TKFileExplorer

1. Download TKFileExplorer: [here] or search through the forums. Run the program and it should look like an explorer window. (Make sure PC Studio is closed as well as the tray icon)


2. Go to Settings -> COM -> Click on the drop selection under 'Port' and select one that’s available.


3. Click 'Connect'


4. The phone should connect if done properly.


5. Games are located in /Exe/Java/Games/, When transferring games make sure that you have both the .JAR and .JAD files. JADGen can be downloaded: [here] Just drag the .JAR file and drag it to JADGen.exe to generate a .JAD file.



When copying the game onto the phone, it is easier to create a folder in the phone and transfer the .jar file then the .jad file one at a time. Dragging multiple folder/files may cause the connection to freeze, lag or lose connection.


Accessing Admin Settings w/ Master Key

Once you have finished transferring all the games/applications you want.  Do the following:

6. Go back to the home screen and tap 'Dial' input the following: (For Admin Settings) *#6984125*#
->

7. Tap on 'Internals', Input the following code (Master Key). *#3818790*#
->

8. Tap on 'Storage Settings'


9. Tap on 'Update Java DB', Now scroll down to where it says 'Update app database' and Tap on that.
->

10. It should take a couple of seconds to update.


11. Once updated you can check out your new games/apps!

This concludes the guide, if you have any problems or questions just reply them to this thread. 

Users who have unlimited data plan do not need to use the TKFileExplorer method for installing games.

You can use websites such as this: [here] (or other wap sites) to upload your games/program files.

If you install the GPS Apps via TKFileExplorer it will grant all the permissions therefore there is no need for other mods such as the goatbreaking method.

I got it working. I had to set the connection to PC Studio in the Solstice USB setting and not "Ask". Turned phone off while connected to pc. Turned phone on while connected to pc. Opened TK File Exploer, still did not show Com ports. However, I found what COM port the modem was using by looking in device manager and manually typed it in there and I can now see the phone's internal memory.

great job guys, looks really good. Quig

What operating system are you running?

I'm not familiar with vista. But for xp you should have installed pc-studio before plugging in your phone. Put your phone on pc-studio mode and plug it in and it should get recognized.

If you plugged it in before you installed pc-studio you might try uninstalling it along with any drivers that say samsung and reboot your PC. Then just install pc-studio. Dont install the usb drivers too.

That happened to me after I installed the stand alone drivers. I had to uninstall all the drivers, PC Studio, and there was even some Noikia stuff in there (I do not own a Nokia phone). So make sure you delete anything phone related in Add/Remove programs. Then reboot, then reinstall PC Studio, then reboot again before hooking the phone up. It may not be required, but it worked for me.
