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!

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
This weekend I was away from home and needed to book some plane tickets. So I connected my milestone (running CM7 Nightly) to a laptop(Windows 7 32 bit) via USB.
But when I plugged in the USB cable into the laptop, when the drivers were being installed there was an error (there was a red x next to 1 of the options, can't remember the exact option but I think it had something to do with Motorola networking?).
Anyway, I downloaded the latest Motorola drivers (same 1 I used when rooting) via my phone and installed it on the laptop, but I was still unable to connect using the dial up connection I created. Everytime I tried to connect I received error 632 (I think it means modem not detected)
I had to flash the phone back to stock Froyo and then it installed properly and I was able to use the phone as a modem on the laptop.
Has anyone else experienced this and is there a solution?
There's a thread for USB tethering using CM7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257115
I haven't tried it yet though
Happy new year all,
I have a 8.9 wifi only 32gb amazon.com version 7310.
I can’t get it to connect to my windows PCs (multiple PCs) ANYMORE…I have the drivers installed, but when I plug it in, windows will ask me for the driver and when it tries to install it I get an error (device not installed properly).
Some history:
I have the usb driver (“GT-p7510_USB_Driver_v1_3_2360_0-Escape.exe”) installed from the thread: “[GUIDE]Root, Bootloader Mode, ODIN, Recoveries & NANDROID Backup [7300/7310]”
Fresh off the box I hooked the tab up to my windows XP PC using the above driver and my PC recognized it. Also ODIN connected too.
I installed CWM (“Overcome_CWM_Recovery_v5.1.2.6_P73xx.zip”) from the above thread and rooted the tab using the root file (“Root.zip”) also from the above thread.
After that I couldn’t get the tab to be recognized from my PCs. But ODIN still works.
BTW, I’ve also tried Samsung Kies but it did not work (couldn’t connect to the tab).
I did a hard reset but I still have the same problem!!!
I need to be able to move files from my PC to the tablet as fast as possible. Wifi works but it is slower than usb 2.0!!!
Any help?
Thank you,
Have you tried uninstalling the drivers, restarting, then installing again? Sometimes Windows is a bit iffy. Also, the drivers from Kies are kinda different and tend to conflict (happened to me once). Another tip I'll give you: certain ROMs tend to hate having USB Debugging set to ON at Settings > Applications > Development. They just won't connect through USB while having that set to ON. I found this behavior on Android 3.1 ROMs, haven't had it in the KJ5 firmware and it's been almost two months with it. Best of lucks solving this!
issue solved by re installing the kies
Thank you for your suggestion.
Re installing kies and the latest kies update solved the issue.
my samsung galaxy note n7000 is not getting detected on win7 laptop. Neither it shows MPT/PTP option nor detects through USB mass storage device. Its running samsung build ICS 4.0.4 (not custom ROM).
Ironically, the same gets connected with MTP/PTP and with Mass Storage device on Win7 system in office. Earlier it used to work with win7 laptop but not anymore.
I dont want to factory reset my phone, so any other solution would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi there. I'm using Xperia SP for like 1 month now and I tried to unlock my bootloader. I'm using the Sony guide to unlock it (unfortunately I can't post a link (less then 10 posts :crying) . Anyway I've got one little problem while i'm trying to launch my Xperia in Fastboot mode.
The LED turns Blue for couple seconds, then it shuts down and the charging begins, like it's launching in fastboot mode and then turning off. I have Sony drivers installed from Sony PC Companion. I'm using Windows 8 x64. The system isn't asking for any drivers while i'm connecting the device to PC. Help me
Windows 8 x64 is a bad system for Flashtool to work with. I would suggest Windows XP....either through a VM or through dual-boot.
But if you have to use Windows 8 without a choice, please disable driver signature verification before you start Windows 8, so that you can install the driver successfully.
You wouldn't care where I sent this message from.
i have the same problem and i have windows 7 starter x86. all drivers installed. im wondering if my phone has fastboot mode or not.
Well everything works as I tried to do the same thing on VM with Windows XP. There was the same thing happening (the blue LED disappears) but after system asked me for drivers. After I installed them the device started to work as it should and I manage to unlock the bootloader . That surely was driver problem so if you manage to install them on your system I'm sure it'll work. Thanks for help
