WARNING: All doing on your own risk!!! If you did not understand what the commands do, do nothing. Beware, if you flash the flase image you got a stylish brick!
On last day Samsung put an update for his Galaxy. With this we got a working recovery image. I have been modified this for a working root adb.
Download recovery-galaxy.img from there: http://www.mediafire.com/?mligyxty9nm and unpack the zip.
Put the Galaxy in Fastboot mode. On your desktop shell type:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery-galaxy.img
Reboot the phone in recovery mode and start adb on your desktop. After this you got a root shell on your phone:
adb shell

I using Fedora Linux, not Windows. The only help i can give you is “android update adb”.
I am from Canada and I know the phone may be a bit different.
Here is a dump from my test.

I am not sure if it is safe to flash your recovery image to my Galaxy phone, as the following forum is saying Canada Bell Galaxy is GT-I7500L, instead of GT-I7500.

I think you can flash the image, but if it works after flashing is unknown. It is not clear what are the diffs between the models. (And your “dump” is very helpless.) If you a crazy person flash, if not wait for Samsung.
anything I can do to help finding the difference between models?
