If you have these question, then just look here. We’ll solove the problems one by one for you.

Uninstallation of previous drivers/programs

1. Uninstall previous Samsung USB/Modem Drivers as well as any PC Studio programs. (Yes, all of it. Just wait till the last one to reboot) AT&T cell phone Questions&Answers
2. Go  [here] and download PC Studio 3 (3.2.2 HG5). This version seems to work fine with the Eternity but do not update it to the latest as many users (including myself) werent able to detect the phone after. (72.4 MB)

Installation of PC Studio 3
3. Once downloaded run the setup file. (Make sure the phone is unplugged)
4. Once installed it will ask you an update. Press ‘Cancel’ as you already have the version you need.
5. 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. AT&T Samsung Eternity info
6. Once finished you might have to restart PC Studio 3 as well as your phone to detect properly (while still connected). Once detected it should say ‘SGH-A867 Connected’.

How to back up your Contacts
7. Go to Phone Editor and click on SIM, it should load all your contacts. Select All (By Right-Clicking) and drag it to the PC. This is how you can back up your SIM card to your PC.

Notes: This Concludes Installing Samsung PC Studio 3
[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. Tongue]

Installation and usage of TKFileExplorer

8. 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)
9. Go to Settings -> COM -> Click on the drop selection under ‘Port’ and select one that's available.
10. Click ‘Connect’
11. The phone should connect if done properly.

12. 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:
13. Go back to the home screen and tap ‘Dial’ input the following: (For Admin Settings) *#6984125*#
14. Tap on ‘Internals’, Input the following code (Master Key). *#3818790*#
15. Tap on ‘Storage Settings’
16. Tap on ‘Update Java DB’, Now scroll down to where it says ‘Update app database’ and Tap on that.
17. It should take a couple of seconds to update.
18. Once updated you can check out your new games/apps! Cheesy

Agoattamer mentioned that if you install the GPS Apps via TKFileExplorer it will grant all the permissions therefore there is no need for other hacks such as applying the settings.bin fix or the ATT branding method.
