Installing Java Games via USB data Cable for AT&T Samsung Propel

I have now installed Java games on the Samsung SGH-A767 Propel. Following these steps:

1. Get a USB data cable. I got one from Fry's. It is the Cellet A129. It doesn't list the Propel as a supported model but it works. It lists the M300 and Blackjack II, etc

2. Now you have to put the Propel in USB modem mode. Follow the steps here: http://thesynchole.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1158 . They are enter code: *#0523#
then press # until you see option 8 say Audio then press 9 Common followed by 6 USB Configuration followed by 2 Qualcomm USB. Leave the phone at this menu.

3. Download the Qualcomm USB driver from the link above and then connect your phone and manually install the driver files.

4. Download Bitpim http://www.bitpim.org and install.

5. When setting up Bitpim select the COM port as "Qualcomm Diagnostics Interface 6000" and select the phone type as SPH-A740 . As shown in the forum thread: http://thesynchole.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3384

6. Open the Filesystem and under Media/Games create a new folder for each Java app and copy the JAD and JAR files to the new directory.

7. Do not delete any files as some of the forums say.

8. Disconnect the USB cable from the phone.

9. Now enter *#6984125*# on your phone. Select 4 then *#9072641*# . Choose menu 7 then select Update media database, Update Java DB and Create AX Dat File. This came from this forum: http://forum2.mobile-review.com/showthread.php?t=76420

10. Exit and the new Java apps should appear :)

  • Mark, can you confirm or deny the use of bluetooth to place the files in the correct directory?

  • Awesome, i just got the same phone and tried to get games now i know why i can't. i really don't want to pay for the net on it...$30 extra on my bill ha! i don't even have cable because of cost. Have any of this stuff seemed to have messed up your phone at all over time? Thanx for the info!!!

  • Hey, I found this post after insanely scouring the internet regarding Samsung phones, but I have to ask: Do you use an application to create JAD files from JAR files? Or do you tend to find JAR and JAD together? I have several JARs without a proper Samsung JAD that are driving me nuts.

    Thanks and massive kudos for figuring this out!

  • do you think that there is a way to do it without a usb say with a micro sd card, if so do you know how to do this

  • Hi Mark. The forum is closed now. Where can I get a Qualcomm driver?

  • I have done all the steps. but unfortunately bitpim couldn't detect my propel even though I selected the phone type as SPH-A740 and the com part as Qualcomm Diagnostics Interface 6000. It would nice if you could help
