Hello all.
First of all, before people shooting at me and saying "please search", I come from many Google and xda search with "MacOs, download mode, failure vm, virtual machine, odin , kies" in every combination you can imagine and no result.
So, the problem is the following one:
I remarked, with some friends from a french forum that we all succeed to use KIES in a virtual machine and connect the phone:

That work like a charm.
Then w wanted to flash, then reboot the phone in Download mode ( yellow android at work ) and then there is a big crash telling us that the device is not recognized:
"unable to connect USB device to virtual machine"

I would really be pleased to have more info on this issue and if we are only a little group to have this issue.
For info, I am using MacOS Snow Leopard and the trial of parallels desktops 6.
It doesn't work with VMware Fusion either. Must be something to do with the USB interface on Samsung.. I've heard some people have it going on Virtualbox running on Linux - but not Mac.
Works fine on VirtualBox on Ubuntu.
Why don't you give Heimdall a go? Haven't tried it personally, but OS X is in the list of supported OSes
Maybe I found the explanation , thanks to ed link:
Although Heimdall runs on OS X all Galaxy S phones tested thus far contain a bug in the secondary boot loader that prevents the phone registering itself with OS X. This may change if Samsung release an updated secondary boot loader.

Maybe there is the same problem.
Does the secondary boot loader has a link with download mode? If yes, that might be the problem!

Saw that today too.. .pretty sure its the issue since it affects all parallels, fusion and virtualbox on Mac OSX.

Yes, download mode functionality is provided by the secondary boot loader. If you really desperately want to get it working with OS X then you would need to download the source for, modify and install a custom IOUSBFamily.kext that contains a work-around specifically for the Galaxy S.
The only options for we Mac users right now are to find a Windows machine, install boot camp on your Mac (then point your vmware machine to it to save duplicate Windows wasted space), or possibly find a way to boot from an external drive with Windows (like a thumbdrive or livecd if possible).

Exactly what i have done. And I HATE it :|
I had this same problem, and I just saw this thread after spending hours last night trying to figure out why XP in Parallels stopped recognizing the phone as soon as it went into download mode. So irritating!
it works for me on VMware 7 + WinXP SP3
because my Win7 64bit PC is crazy it won't recognize the phone randomly, twice it bricked my phone doing the Flash on the Host PC
so after setting up my ROM FLASH VMware machine, now i no longer have problem
stupid windows, no time to mess with the system registry to figure out what is the madness with the USB detection
i'm pretty sure you should have no problem as well if you use VMware 6.5
I posted this in the Heimdall thread but thought I should let followers of this thread know also.
I sent Samsung the OS X USB failure log and since then Samsung have informed me that the Froyo update (specifically the Nordic version released October 15) includes a fixed bootloader which should allow the phone to be recognised in OS X. I'm yet to verify this but hopefully this is the case!
Hello XDA!
I Pray for Help
I have a tablet: Teclast X98 Air 3G 32GB C9J8.
- It all started with the fact that when you install Windows 10 I formatted all partitions.
- Windows 10 install. Everything worked well, except for the battery. The battery not charging while working in Windows.
- It was decided to return the Android OS. But it was not there. I was not able to install android through Manufacturing Flash Tool, because the partitions have been deleted.
- For a long time I was looking for ways to solve this problem, but the solution I not found.
- Well, to hell with it with android - I said. But the problem is that while I was looking for a solution to this problem - I created another problem:
Now tablet not booting to Windows 10. After turning immediately goes into the BIOS. And when I try to run the install from a flash - nothing happens.
- I tried to boot from a live usb, but no result.
- I think something happened to the EMMC.
- But there are two workable options: EFI SHEll and WinPE5_TechAdmin_UEFI.
- EFI Shell works, but does not allow to load the installation Windows with usb flash by running and bootia32.efi or bootx64.efi.
- WinPE5_TechAdmin_UEFI: Run the menu with different options:
- Installation
-diskpart
- Acronis
- etc.
Windows installation runs but produces different error types: ACPI_Bios_Error or 0xc0000XXX - winload.efi
Acronis starts, but after entering my tpad hangs.
- Who can recommend?
Hello mate . Any changes? Did you fix it ? I got techlast x98 3g 64 gb fully working maybe i can help you with somethig to take my os to upload on a server . Maybe you can fix it . I have no ideea . Just trying to help
Hi everyone.
Any idea or problem solution?
Nothing happened in the meantime ?
I am in more or less the same situation. So I liked to hear what now is yours.
I am in the same situation as you, i cannot boot from any usb device, i also tried booting from the efi shell but of course i had to same problem as you. At least i still have my android 5.0 rooted that works fine but i would like my windows to also work
I have tried a lot of things but am also nearing a wall and was just about to make a similar thread as you.
Edit: My situation is not exactly the same as you as my windows 8.1 is not working instead of win10... When i try booting into windows 8.1 i instead get a blue screen and get to the recovery options for windows 8.1, but none of the options work. Of course i can use the CMD option but chkdsk and similar commands don't help
Have you tried to flash a custom android rom like mireks?

With the windows manufacturing tool you can repartition your tablet. Maybe give it a try

Hi there, I installed on my Toshiba Satellite laptop Windows 7 & Android 4.4.4. It works no so bad.
My problem is that the boot is so fast that I can't choose the SO. I don't know how to fix. Anyone can help me. Thanks in advance.
Ed
Which did you install first
That will be the first step
Ie installed Android then win7
Or
Installed win7 then Android
I'm trying out DeX since my computer is down. I'm basically wanting to play a game I have installed on Windows and I've actually never configured WineHQ before.. I've heard there's an Android version and that for my phone, I'll need the ARM version vs the x86 version. Please correct me if I'm wrong about that. I did inadvertantly mess up and get the x86 version but I didn't really see it install so then installed the ARM version.
I launched it, then it hands on SETTING UP WINDOWS ENVIRONMENT.
Does this process even work or is this one of those things where I'd need to have a rooted device?
