ive downloaded it but it says device not supported
I'm on a MAC and what I do is to download the firmware and use it with ODIN.
Utterly ridiculous that you can't upgrade the firmware without a PC...

Use boot camp with a Windows partition. It works better with 32bit Windows.
Can't remember the last time I booted my MacBook Pro into OS X!
Would VirtualBox Windows XP work?
Never tried it but should as long as Windows (through VirtualBox) can fully access the USB ports.
Apple are renowned for poor Windows drivers.
a bit OT but can someone post a link on how to upgrade it thru Windows?? noob question here...

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 :/
Before I begin, I should say that I am a n00b and I am new to android. That being said, I did a search through XDA and google and could not find a solution to my problem.
I am currently trying to flash cyanogenmod7 to my samsung fascinate using the cyanogenmod wiki guide.
I am trying to install ClockworkMod Recovery. I put my phone into download mode and plug it in to my computer (running windows 7 parallels) and it seems to not show up in the device listing in zadig. I've tried multiple times. The computer recognizes that it is connected to the phone initially, but then disappears.
Any suggestions? Thanks guys
see if you can get it to work using odin with section:3 of this guide. Just download the odin and samsung driver from steps 1&2 of section:1 then proceed to section 3. If that don't work then we have to determine what is causing the connection issue?

glitch v13 is awsome... you can find it on the market. the free version should be out anytime tho.
I have tried everything to get these drivers to work, tried installing them on windows vista, windows 7, using compatibility mode, using a virtual machine to install it on windows xp, downloaded three different types of versions of windows xp and I still can not get these drivers to install on anything.
I've searched the forums; I've lurked all throughout google and youtube. I can not find the solution. Will somebody out there please for the love of god help me. This is the 4th day I've tried to continue the process of flashing my phone to boost and I haven't even gotten past this very first step.
did you manually go through device manager and try to update the drivers?

How would that even work out ? The phone won't even register on the device manager without the drivers or having a microsd card which is just for accessing my micro sd data.

Try another download of the driver....It will ONLY work with Windows XP, I ran virtual pc on my Win 7 computer, load driver in virtual pc session and be sure you can access your usb port in virtual Pc. When I get home, If you need it I'll upload the driver I used.

actually the drivers will work with xp 32 bit as well as windows 7 32 bit but not with vista......just make sure to install the drivers for the incognito before you plug in the phone as its easier that way....

Samsung Kies 2.3.3.12085_7_5 work with Windows 8 9200...:good:
I'm using windows 8 x64, I had no trouble installing the drivers.. I just put the phone in download mode and connected the usb cable and the drivers were automatically installed.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Hello all.
I too have Windows 8 RTM 9200 x64.
Kies 2.3.3.12085_7 INSTALLS fine, and the app RUNS fine.
Also, when I put the phone in download mode, Win8 DOES automatically find a device, but....
1. Kies can never find the phone (obviously not when in download, I mean in normal mode). Just keeps telling me to turn off debugging (which is not on!). Tells me: "Reconnect the device in Samsumg Kies (PC Studio) mode. Current connection mode not supported by Kies. Check USB settings."
2. Odin 1.85, 1.87 and 3.04 can never see the phone in download mode. Just nothing as if not connected.
For you guys who have it working in Win8, can you confirm that Kies can actually SEE the phone (running the app is the easy bit!), and that if you go into download mode, that Odin can see the device?
I can pass things thru on a virtual USB port to a Virtual Machine of Win7, but cant never actually get any functional use in (host) Win8.
Thanks.
EDIT: I downloaded Kies from Samsung page and it seems to be very slightly newer than mine, now version 2.3.3.12085_7_5. NOW, Odin CAN see the device in download mode which is what I really wanted for flashing purposes. Kies itself now no longer instantly complains about the USB setting, but iinstead just spins its wheel and never connects. But Kies stinks and never use it anyway, so not too fussed. Really just wanted Odin so that's cool.
Downloaded THIS Kies: http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as
Can you extract the USB Driver msi from the instllation and upload it here? Thanks!\
Edit:
Found it!
http://www.mediafire.com/?4y1a2opm8o3ihfx
Now my Note is back under my Windows 8 64x RTM!
Interesting!
Your mediafire download LOOKS like the same version that my Kies installed, but when I installed your version over my pre-existing one, now Kies can see my phone!
Excellent!
Thanks!
Hope this all helps someone else too.
I ran Windows 8 for exactly 2 days. I ain't gonna touch that with a 10ft pole ever again. Went back to Win7.
Lemme just tell ya: Windows 8 sucks big time. It's so bad it both sucks and blows at the same time.

Using a 4 year old Dell Latitude XT2 that originally came with Vista on it with a fresh install of Windows 8. Love the device. Multi touch screen works right away and all features work great. Having a blast with Windows 8. Just need the right hardware and it is a perfect operating system. Best of both worlds, tablet and laptop.
There's no need to install Kies to use the phone as mass storage.
Only if you want to flash things though Odin.
I'm using Windows 8 Pro 64bits and I can confirm this. :good:
Windows update Will do the job.
Connect the phone and then search on Windows update.

Okay, you should DEFINITELY check Device Manager and double check that you have the Samsung USB drivers installed. If you have then try the following and let me know if it works:
1. Put the phone in download mode.
2. Launch Odin3 v1.85 (download this version and try it please)
3. Connect your GS3 to a different USB slot than you normally use.
I know the basic troubleshooting sounds very boring, and you've most likely tried the above already, but do give it a go and let me know.

I think you should try using a different computer/laptop, I'm not quite sure whether the problem is because of your device or the computer being used.
Do you have another machine that you can try on?

I agree. Windows 10 may not play ball. Try different drivers and/or a pc with an older version of windows. You must reboot the pc each time you change drivers or it won't detect the phone. Use only the usb ports on the motherboard.
