[Q] Odin and Mac Parallels Desktop VM

Has anyone successfully completed Odin One-Click on a Mac using a VM? Odin can see the COM port just fine before I complete the battery/sim/downloader ritual. No problem getting into download mode - but I am unable to make the USB connection as before. I'm stumped.

Same boat (using Parallels).
I had to revert back to my 7yr old Sony Vaio to do it. Couldn't get Odin to recognize the device.

Try using virtualbox works great on linux hosts, should be fine on Mac as well.

I had to partition my hard drive and use boot camp to get ODIN to work on my mac. That's about the only way I got it to work. I tried Parallels and got the same as you couldn't get it working.

Odin won't work in a VM. I ran into this same problem flashing firmware on the Moment as well. I think it sucks that there isn't a Mac version.

has anyone gotten odin to work on a mac yet?

Yes! i got it to work tonight (on my i9000). I couldn't find anything confirming it working on either phone, so i thought i would just try it out myself.
Using Parallels 5 on OS X 10.5, just make sure you get the windows drivers for the phone, ODIN will recognize.
Sorry for rezzing this thread, but i wanted to let people know it will work through parallels.

lol might want to explain " drivers " to the mac guys
hahaha

Are you using parallels? I've had trouble with parallels and getting the usb connection through from the mac hardware into windows. I've found a way to get it to work:
1. Connect the phone while booted normally, USB debugging on.
2. Use the version of odin in the AIO captivate tool. Opening odin here will automatically put the phone into download mode. I suspect that this is the same as giving the phone an adb download command from command line in the PC, but I haven't bothered to install the android sdk in windows to find out.
3. For some reason, telling the phone to reboot to download mode from windows makes it stay connected. You can now use odin.
Downside to this method: it doesn't work if your phone can't boot.
I've actually had occasional luck getting it to connect while forcing the phone to boot straight into download mode with the buttons on the phone. This seems to be a bug in parallels and/or the usb drivers in mac os.

Yep still sucks.

Bootcamp FTW!
Get it on Bootcamp.
Logically speaking, Vmware or Parallels runs on a main OS (OSX).
So an OS over an OS, the drivers won't recognize coz your main OS already did.
Just partition the HDD to a minimum (20gb) run that Bootcamp.
I got mine working btw.
(Win 7 Ultimate Bootcamp on Mac OSX Lion MacBook Pro late 2010.)
Peace out!

i just used odin on my mac (lion os x)using parallel with windows xp home edition. when you plug in the phone, even in download mode, it asks if you wanna connect it to your mac or the VM. the weird thing is, it didnt work on my old captivate, but it works on my refurbished one i got a few days ago. i think it might be because i was running cm7 on my old one, and samsung froyo on the new one. but yes, as m0ngstr0us said, boot camp is always another option.

Succesful Flash w/ Parallels and SGS3
I know this isn't in the correct forum (Using a Verizon SGS3), but I wanted to post confirmation that this does indeed work. Your mileage may vary, but if the SGS3 can work, I'm assuming this applies for older Samsung devices as well:
Successfully ODIN'ed a new recovery IMG on Windows 7 (in conjunction with Parallels 6 for Mac OS X 10.6.8)
Used a random Windows 7 iso I had lying around. This was a brand new Windows installation, and no out-of-the-box modifications were made to OS X, Windows, or Parallels (except for downloading/installing the Samsung USB drivers, as suggested in a previous post).
My SGS3 was actually soft-bricked (Could not boot into recovery OR download mode.. Holding the power button would greet me with a "Could not do normal mode. Booting into Odin Mode" error)
Turned phone on (auto-booted into ODIN mode), plugged it into the Mac via USB, and was greeted by a dialog noting that a USB device was detected. It asked if I wanted to access the USB device via Mac or Windows 7. Chose Windows 7, and Odin was able to connect to it flawlessly.
If there are any questions, please let me know. I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to find a solution (I'm on vacation in Germany and for some reason Windows PC's are avoided like the plague) and didn't want to go through the trouble of using Parallels unless it was confirmed working. For others in the same boat as me, let this be your confirmation. It works!!!

I did almost the same thing but using Windows XP via Parallels.
I had bricked my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 trying to install JellyWiz RLS12 without first unlocking the bootloader.
So I used the guide found at below link to walk me through using Odin for the first time. My timing was very good as official 4.1.1 leak had just surfaced and the guide included a link to it. I unbricked with that and my phone is running as smooth as ever (and i love JB!)
HOWEVER - USB not recognized on my Mac. Android File Transfer also does not recognize the phone. And FoxFi of course isn't working, hoping for a workaround :/
Also, my phone appears to be "stock" and is not rooted. Not sure how to root now but i'm sure there are a million similar threads i can search on.
GUIDE i followed to successfully unbrick!
: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
EDIT: I got wifi tethering working on non-root JB for Verizon Gs3 by using pda + foxfi combo.

Worked!
I did it on Parallels 10.1.1!
Thanks everyone.
My steps:
Downloaded and installed Samsung USB Drivers for Windows on Windows 7 VM (google developer samsung usb driver)
Rebooted my VM
Turned off and disconnected my phone
Opened Odin
Turn on my phone on Downloading mode
Connected USB cable
Parallels asked if I want connect the device on Mac or VM, I choosed VM.
I waited the drivers are installed automatically.
I looked at Odin and the COM was appearing.

thanks so much

heimdall gives me 'failed to detect compatible device'

drivers installed fine but when I'm in heimdall and select the zimage, its give me an error 'failed to detect compatible device'. zimage is checked, connected the device (mounted and unmounted) and it doesn't recognize it. Any ideas on what the issue is?
SPH P100 sprint tab, win7 64b and winxp, stock, rooted with superoneclick.

Are you in download mode?
Also read having odin / heimdall drivers on same os might cause issues - havent tried myself.

yes, now I get a failed to access device error -12.

I take it you installed the samsung drivers first - i.e kies application. Then Yadig driver install.
If your on linux , then should be easier to get this working.
I use vista - and sometimes it does non work first time for some reason and after a couple attempts it works. vista for you.

got it thanks. for some reason I had to install the drivers again and went right into hiemdall and flashed fine. odd.

[Q] HELP! Really Serious Problem On My SGT gt-p1000

Recently i rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab(SGT) GT-p1000 that was brought from Singapore using the oneclickroot method.
My problem began when i heard about using heimdall to flash custom ROMS on the SGT. So i downloaded the Heimdall files and used heimdall frontend to attempt to root my SGT. Before that i had already used the zadig files to install the samsung composite USB driver. However as i boot my SGT into download mood, i accidentally pressed start to flash into my SGT with only the zimage and a wrongly selected Factoryfs file, These were taken from the BOCA rom I wanted to try to install.
Then i think i went into Boca's bootloader but i couldnt do anything. So i tried to reboot the device but it couldnt boot anymore. Just showed and android with an Exclamation mark. So i saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966015 and i thought that maybe i could use heimdall to flash back the default files. So i reflashed the new FactoryFS Zimage and Param.ifs provided by this new rom.
Now i can boot the phone normally into froyo 2.21, however now everytime i press the lock button the phone retarts. And everytime i try to connect to the internet using WiFi my phone restarts as well. 3g no longer works too. T_T
I can no longer connect to Kies and i tried reinstalling the drivers again but nothing would fix it. I cant use Heimdall or Odin to flash it anymore, Heimdall faced error -12 and Odin just kept trying to secure connection, but it never passes that point.
IM REALLY LOST AS TO WHAT TO DO. SOMEBODY HELP ME!!! PLEASE!

I don´t think this can help.
I think your problem is that you installed a incorrect rom for your tab model.
Download this:

Reinstall samsung drivers.
and flash the file using odin, repartition checked.

Hmmm... Odin doesn't get connected , so ....

Probably Heimdall will also do the flash for you - Odin is just one Windows-based tool to flash that device. Heimdall should have the same features for differnt platforms (so you can use it also on MAC OSX and Linux)- give Overcome a trial - and don't forget to flash the modem, if you want a fully working device

Soft Brick can digging no recovery no driver

Hi my friends,
Wanted to update my P1000 but failed. Have read one article, using Zadig to write something to my phone, the first step was alright, but the second step, open windows terminal then run 'heimdall flash --kernel zImage', the blue tab as said didn't come out. Now when turn it on it is stuck at Samsung logo, could go to downloading modle but not recovery model. Both Odin and Kies cant recognise the phone no matter how much I have tried to set up the driver. Have been reading many articles on the web still couldnt find out the solution. Anybody could kindly help would be much appreciated.

While in download mode, Odin still doesn't recognise your tab?

Have tried 3,4 companies, none of them could fix it.

Send it to Samsung
I think it´s the only help u can get

You wanted to use Heimdall, so you used Zadig to install the drivers? That's fine, but if you then decide to use Odin, you'll need to install the Odin drivers first as Odin doesn't work with the Heimdall drivers. You can install the Odin drivers if you've installed Kies on your computer, it contains the driver Odin needs (on my computer it's in a folder called USB Driver). If you don't have installed Kies, installing it will install the drivers. If you don't want to install Kies, you should be able to find the package containing only the drivers on the Net.
After installing the drivers, reboot the computer. Then put the Tab in Download mode, connect it to the computer, and start Odin. With a bit of luck it will now recognise the Tab.

Thank you so much for your kindly reply. I tried to use heimdall but it keeps saying the package was wrong. Should I look for a correct package then use Heimdall to fix it? I have installed Kies, but it wont recognize my device, Odin doesnt neither. I just dont know how do I set up the driver, would you be kindly enough to give me a link? Lots of thanks.

Are the Heimdall drivers installed correctly? If so, and if you can find a Heimdall package that can be flashed, then that's good too. If you want to use Odin, and you haven't reinstalled the Kies drivers after using Heimdall, I found the Kies drivers in folder C:\Program Files\Kies\USB Driver, and the file was named SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe. Just run it, and reboot your computer. Then switch off the Tab, and press and hold the On switch and Volume Down button until it starts in Download mode (the screen with the yellow text). Start Odin, and connect the Tab to the computer with the USB cable. Hopefully it will see the Tab (display the COM-port of the Tab). If it recognises the Tab, you can flash a new ROM.

If I recall correctly..I read somewhere here..that, If you wanted to use odin after you install hemidal..there is something that you must do first (delete or run a commands or something) before you can use odin..usually the instruction manual comes with the installer..or installed with hemidal itself..but, I don't know.. Maybe I'm wrong.. Because I never use hemidal before..
(҂`☐´)︻╦̵̵̿╤── .:system:.

Odin will recognize your tab if you install the right drivers. On windows, it happens automatically, if you are connected to the net. As long as you can boot into download mode, you are safe. Dont worry, bricking a galaxy tab is very hard.

Help required: Galaxy Tab

I've been searching XDA & Google for about 1 month but can't find a solution. I don't know why everywhere in some threads whenever somebody asks the same problem there's no reply to that question. So I decided to post this question here to try my luck...
Problem & History:
I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000R with DoonLord V_4, it couldn't root it but left the tab with touch problem then I tried to root it with famaroot various versions, I then again tried to root it with z4root V_1.3.0, all attempts were useless, I don't know which attempt of them, made my tab unable to connect to pc even in download mode.
When I set my tab to connect to Kies or Media it shows that it's connected but PC doesn't detect it. Please help...

Thanks for your reply but I have already gone through this post but as I mentioned problem is that PC doesn't detects it even when I put the Tab in DL mode. Is there any method to root it? So that I could use Mobile Odin to restock it.

It is an usb-driver problem and not rooting, I'm 99% sure of it. It's the PC that HAS to find the Tab first.

Hmmmm

I've tried on another PC and with another USB cable but in vain. Other Smartphones connect it without any problem.

Any smartphone or the P1000 are not the same. I have had on multiple occasions that even Samsung Kies did not recognise it and had to reinstall Kies. Same for the Samsung Mobile phones drivers. And don't forget to reboot your PC after installing drivers.
Keep on trying because it is still going into download mode and logic tells it should be accessible. Does the PC give a notification like driver not found or similar?

NO.

No. There's no activity in PC when I connect it. It neither shows new hardware found nor any other notification like unrecognized device etc.
BTW I have reinstalled Kies, updated it, uninstalled it, installed separate drivers for Samsung USB but no gain...

One last option, let the battery become completely empty (0% charge). Recharge and try again, it rescued my tab once after a bad flash.
That is to my knowledge the last resort.

Alas!

What version of windows are you on? Because windows 8 is a *****, Vista or 7 should work.
(Or GNU-Linux). And have you tried Heimdall already? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1323527
Heimdall download https://code.google.com/p/heimdall-one-click/downloads/list

Get a stock ROM and how to use Heimdall (these are old instructions so there could be newer versions available).
-----------Heimdall install instructions ------------------
1. Download Heimdall.
2. Download Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) and install it. Download it here List All Devices.
5. From the USB Device list chose "Samsung USB Composite DEvice".
6. Press "Install Driver", click "Yes" to the prompt and if you receive
a message about being unable to verify the publisher of the driver
click "Install this driver software anyway".
7. Done. This only needs to be done once.
-----------How to use Heimdall-------------------------
1. Put your tab into download mode - Power off Tab, once powered down hold power and the volume down button at the same time. You will see a android digging.
2. Start Heimdall
3. Hook your tab up to your PC or MAC and you will see a progress bar. That must say Ready to get heimdall to work.
4. Find you Firmware and unzip it until you see the following files below.
(NOTE: when you first unzip your firmware it may unzip into a .tar file unzip the .tar file to get the files below.)
a. Zimage
b. FactoryFS.rfs
c. Param.lfs
d. Boot.bin
e. SBL.bin - not always included
f. cacher.rfs
g. dbdata
h. modem.bin - not always included
5. Place each of those files in their correct spot and hit start.
ONE BIG NOTE: if you use a PIT file do NOT select repartition. It might brick your tab as heimdall has a problem when selecting repartition w/ a pit file. It is ok to use the pit file just make sure repartition is unchecked.
(Use ODIN for repartition with pit)

Got it working...
Thanks buddy, I bought a half dozen of USB cables for the tab and got it working with one of them at last... I don't know but I thought it was the last way out to try different cables... And at last, I got it working after long...
Please let me know the correct way of rooting, as DoomLord v. 4 has already failed to root it. Please guide if possible... I have a Ragers (Canada) Tab. GT-P1000R
