I am in the business of software development, and it really annoyed me to discover that in order to use my new Samsung Galaxy note as a development device I had to download a ~200MB file from the Samsung website and install several hundred megabytes of bloatware called 'Samsung Kies'.
All I am interested in is the USB drivers which will allow me to connect to my phone to develop android applications. Some people also need these files if they want to root their device. As Samsung Kies is IMO a piece of junk, I have seperated out the USB driver package and present it here as a single, unmodified, 23MB download for both 32 and 64 bit Windows systems. Note that the package actually includes several drivers for various Samsung phones, hence the (larger than necessary) file size.

UPDATE 27/06/2014: Link is now dead :( See my newer post for an updated link and method here: http://liamcrayden.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/galaxy-note-adb-drivers-without-samsung.html
Please comment or +1 if these drivers were of any help to you. If I get round to it in the near future I will post the Galaxy-only drivers instead which should be approx 300KB instead of 23MB! Enjoy (and dont waste your valuable time and bandwidth downloading the Kies software ever again)

Many thanks for this. Was having endless trouble with Kies. Galaxy Note now rooted! Cheers
ReplyDeleteCheers for this, it saved me downloading and installing the abomination that is Kies on my computer. Please keep it updated if possible.
ReplyDeleteJust a note: on Windows 8 (Consumer Preview) I had to run the installer in Windows 7 compatibility mode to get it to install.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the article and download!
There is now a 4MB download available from my new post:
