I'm trying to setup this touchscreen 3.5inch RPi Display on an RPi B+ running Rasbain using this tutorial which no longer works. I have been googling for the past 5 days trying to find a method that works. dose anyone know a driver that works, or a way to make notros one work?

I managed to make it work by doing:
wget http://www.waveshare.com/w/upload/3/3d/LCD-show-160811.tar.gz
tar xvf LCD-show-YYMMDD.tar.gz
cd LCD-show/
./LCD35-show
from here
Maybe you have luck with your gamble ;) try to find out wich IC is used and may you found support for it by notro then you can try it with the fbtft. Notro ftbft support list
