I have iMac. I installed Odin with crossover (Wine), VM ware (w/Windows XP), Parallel (w/ windows XP). Unfortunately, Odin couldn't recognize my phone (com port).
Finally, I installed Odin on windows XP with bootcamp. It recognized my phone, and I was able to flash my phone.
If you are using Mac, bootcamp must be the only way to make Odin work from my experience. Thx.

Hey all, similar to everyone else I have the Vibrant soft brick issue from Ji6. Sorry if this has been asked before but my search came up w nothing.
Is there an Odin for Mac? I dont have access to a PC at all, work computer doesnt allow downloads.

There is no ODIN for mac.
But I'm sure you can get your hands on a PC for an hour or two. Go to a library or a friend's house. C'mon man.
yeah, i am in the same boat. i have no access to a pc
I have struggled with this myself, so you're not alone. Your best bet if you don't want to borrow a windows machine is to stick a copy of Windows on your computer via VMWare Fusion or Boot Camp or what have you.
Run Parallels....or find a friend. What version of OS X are you running?
From my experience even that doesnt work. I tried Odin on my boot camp Windows 7 partition on MacBook Pro with no luck.

yes i am trying it on parallels now but it does not seem to register that the phone is plugged in when i run odin. when i plug it in it does ask me where i would like to mount the phone, OSX or VM and i choose vm but obviously it wont mount in downloading mode (or does it?) but odin doesnt do anything to the phone :/
Hi people.
I tried (foolishly maybe) to update my X10i to 2.1 today using the nordic firmware method described here somewhere. But I did it using my mac and vmware fusion running windows XP. Everything went fine in the beginning, SEUS recognized the phone, offered update, downloaded and instaleld it, but in the end of the installation it said that the update failed.
Now I have a yellow exclamation mark whenever I turn on my phone. Is there any way to recover on my mac or should I go and look for a windows PC somewhere (which is hard as none of my colleagues/friends use a PC)?
Cheers.
I had exactly the same problem trying to update using vmware fusion. in the end i had to use bootcamp to flash my x10i which worked perfectly
Does anyone know how to get a mac laptop to recognize my fascinate? I need to be able to push files to my fascinate with my mac laptop. I have installed heimdall and when I try to flash a file it says "failed to detect compatible device". I even installed parallels desktop and have windows on my mac as well and I can't use Odin because it says "no drivers found". I have downloaded the drivers and installed them but it still says "no drivers found". Any help would be much appreciated.

As another OS X user, I am faced with the same problem with Heimdall not recognizing my Fascinate. I don't know how to rectify this issue.
However, I have found that I have to enable USB Debug Mode (under Applications/Development) in the settings prior to connecting the USB each time I want to connect to my mac for file swap. I don't think I needed to do this before, so I think it's due either to the ROM or kernel I'm using.

This suggestion is for heimdall, i don't know if it works with mac or not.
Did you plug the phone in with it in DL mode, open the heimdall files, open the drivers file in there and run zadig? You have to have to be in DL mode while in zadig then you go to options, at the top, check list all devices, it will say samsung usb composite device, or samsumg android composite usb. Anyway it is something like that, heimdall wont work in windows either if you dont do this step. hope that helps. as for odin i think there is a program out there called odin clone but i have no idea where to find it, maybe google does.
Heimdall doesn't support the Fascinate on Mac, so either install Linux or Windows.

I have windows installed on my Mac via parallels desktop and when I put my phone in download mode and try to install drivers, where it says "list all devices" it doesn't have Samsung composite as an option.

The problem isn't with Heimdall or OS X. The issue is with Samsung's faulty secondary bootloader not adhering to the USB specification. As such the device won't be recognised by OS X or even a virtual machine running inside OS X.

So, basically what you are telling me is that I will not be able to push files to my fascinate with my Mac, correct? The problem is the fascinate communicating with Mac right? Can't be done?

Well I just wasted about an hour getting all of the necessary things to get Heimdall running, so this is disappointing to hear. From what I read, I thought that was an Eclair issue and that it might be solved with the Froyo update?

Assuming that Samsung haven't released a working secondary bootloader for the Fascinate, then you can't use OS X to flash. "Mac" and "OS X" aren't the same thing, if you want you could install Linux or Windows on your Mac and you would still be able to flash. That's hardly ideal but it's Samsung's fault and there's not a whole lot anyone else can do about it.

You're talking about partitioning my hard drive? Because I have windows running on my mac via parallels desktop. I would need to run boot camp or something like that?
I was just thinking boot camp myself, but if the issue is how Apple handles the USB on the computer, then the problem would still be there, cause the windows drivers installed through boot camp for the Mac hardware are still written by apple, and the physical hardware of the laptop will also remain the same, so....
Materialized into existence through the act of observation.
So I've searched and tried and have been completely unsuccessful. I cannot for the life of me get my windows 7 32 bit or my 4 bit systems to recognize my vibrant in download mode. Neither Heimdall or Odin see it. I'm running the Trigger version of CM7. I've tried every driver out there (I think) and nothing seems to work.
Suggestions, help, a point in the right direction are all welcome.
Thanks

Have you connected it to the USB ports on the back on the computer? The ones connected directly to the motherboard?

I have to plug and unplug mine a few times before windows recognizes it... I'm running 64 bit windows 7 on my desktop and 32 bit windows 7 on my laptop. Both of my computers recognize it...
Good luck.
I think you may need the Nexus S drivers for CM7
Get a new data cable, I had the same issue and a new cable fixed it.

Try usbdeview. maybe all your ports have the wrong driver

This happened with me, and I had to re-flash trigger to get it working again.
Edit: You are specifically mentioning Download Mode, I had no recognition when the phone was on. Did not try to check DL mode.

This. You can get them from the ADK.

I tried the ADT drivers but I'm still unable to get Hiemdall or Odin to recognize my vibrant in download mode. Current rom is Trigger CM7 version. Any ideas.
BTW, the download mode doesn't look like what I saw with the regular roms. No triangle with the android icon digging a hole.
ugh! I'm an idiot. I was using the wrong method to get into download mode. Fixed now! thanks everyone
Hey All I have a problem with my RSD-Lite because every time Iwant to select the sbf-file it just doesn't show the File Properties.
Help Please!
I don't think this is the correct section to post about this topic but anyways, if this is your first time trying RSDLite:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-My3iODE208
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA67WaBfGWQ
Else, make sure
1. You have latest version of RSD-Lite
2. You have an original, unmodified, regional SBF for your device (and that is not corrupt).
3. Try running as administrator if these didn't work.
It is not the first time to flash my Phone with RSD-Lite , but it just stopped working from one day to another I already reinstalled my Windows 7 but still didn't work and it doesn't help to run it as administrator
What about re-downloading your SBF?
doesn't work
Try diffrent computer

I've also seen issues with running RSD on Windows 7 machines. I've tried everything to resolve (including reinstall of OS), but have given up and gone back to a old WinXP machine to do all my RSD. From what I can tell, Win 7 machines are hit or miss relative to RSD.
If that's the case then I must be very lucky because I have windows 7 and I almost always flashed without problems. Glad you could find a workaround.
OK I just pulled out my VERY old XP-Notebook and now everything works thanks!
