"marcussmith2626" was credited for this tutorials, "Doky73" credited for discontinued project "Splitfus2" , few modification and adjustment need to be made for Further improvements > Tested on Windows 7 (32-BIt) Machine>> wipe package produced for s5830i successfully .

jdk-7u71-windows is the tested/updated installer, please download and install the appropriate (x86) 32-Bit or (x64) 64-Bit installer from oracle ( tick the agreement links for download)

Package/libraries/Dependencies failed on 32-BIt Windows 7. Missing Dll was reported.

To get your Cygwin working on your designated Machine Please follow these instructions>>

1. Visit this official Website , get either of the New installer available : setup-x86.exe (32-bit installation) or setup-x86_64.exe (64-bit installation).

2. Run your installer, choose "Install from Internet"

Note: To keep the installation small while saving bandwidth for you and Cygwin, the default installer will download only the files you need from the internet.

3. Do as he says, leave the "C:\Cygwin" as your Root Directory.

Note: Don’t like to have programs installed on the root of your C: drive you can change the path or make a (Hard/Soft) symbolic link from C:\Cygwin to your desired location.

4.Caution Advised as some of these mirrors are linked to gigabytes of dependencies and occasionally some vital files are missing .

Recommended mirror ( contains only 100 something megabyte of database/tools, which is needed for basic simulations of Linux command line>>

Process will take 5 ~ 15 Minutes;

5. Now Run the shortcut on your Desktop, you must be directed to your root directory

we need to check if "zip utilities" is available, otherwise we have to run the installer to get the missing tools from our preference mirror.

Type the following after the "$" character please :

$ cygcheck -vf /usr/bin/zip
/usr/bin/zip: found in package zip-3.0-12

if you don't have this tools, Go back and run installer, do all of the previous procedure .

Now in the search box on top of the mirrors section, type "zip" to filter all of the packages already installed or suggested. In this picture(in archive sub part), marked for me as Reinstalled ; for you is marked as skipped;marked it and proceed . (picture will be found in attachment)

Run the command again, you must have the tool by now .

Note: Make the acquaintance of zip utilities and relevant parameters by typing the following command after "$" character, if you are curious though.

$ /usr/bin/zip

Or in case of file corruption, get the latest version from my attachment.

Do the following instruction. Proof of wipe zip package and more info about this tools will be found in attachment.
