I have my fascinate rooted running 1.9.9 MIUI. What I need to do is set up a virtual Win7 on VirtualBox(done), install Samsung PST(done also), and flash my carrier's PRL file to the phone. What I can't do is get PSTlite to recognize my phone in DL mode. I'm running openSUSE 11.4. I've done lsusb and got the ID for my device and made a filter, I've tried an empty filter, and no filter. Still no luck.
Does anyone know how to get this to work?? Please help!
Thanks so much,
Kyle

OK so ive look for hours around xda at tons of threads and i cant find anyone with the same problem as me, my phone got stuck on the tmobile vibrant boot up screen after trying to flash an oc kernal from update.zip. so i decided to fix it with odin. im on a mac and i have a windows 7 virtual machine with odin3, kies, and the 32 bit vibrant drivers installed and it doesn't register my phone in download mode. it does recognized it in recovery but, for some reason not in download mode. please help
Won't work on Mac
For what I know, Odin won't recognize your phone in a virtual machine on a mac. I tried, it never worked, luckily I have a physical windows machine at home, maybe this is not your case. Good luck.
Hey,
so i received my S II two days ago and today i wanted to flash the lightning ROM on my mobile. So first I tried Odin at my VM but when I tried to connect my mobile in download mode to my VM there is an error. Then I read about heimdall and tried it. The problem is, that it won't detect my device (I'm in Download mode).
Does somebody, maybe a mac user how had the same problem, an advice?

Yes, my advice is boot camp! Always have it at hand, you never know when you might need it.
I only succeded to have ADB working on mac.
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?

can you try another computer?
haha it's funny..right before you posted that i tried it on a different computer. Now i have cyanogenmod7 running nicely! No idea why my other computer doesn't detect the phone.
Thanks for your help!
EDIT: Do you recommend any kernels? I'd like to speed this bad boy up.

glitch v13 is awsome... you can find it on the market. the free version should be out anytime tho.
I'm in a pickle here, i was trying to restore my friends cdma razr to stock and somehow borked it. I only have a mac, it's dual booted but only dual boots into windows 8. The motorola drivers won't install on it so i can't use the razr utility, it doesn't see the device. I'm trying to install a virtual machine on mac os and so far, nothing is working.... Any help is appreciated.
again, HELP!!
Wgy wont drivers install?? Best bet probably be use a different comp
Lol i'm trying that now. I hit the next road block, the phone won't allow anything to happen in fastboot because it won't charge!!! The white LED is on too.
I don't have the original motorola cable, is this the issue?
Hey everybody. I didn't get any replies in the vibrant section, and I figured it is also an over all samsung product question so here goes. I bought a very messed up samsung galaxy vibrant t959 off a friend for $20 hoping I could fix it. They had flashed a captivate rom to it but I can still manage to get it into download mode. But heres the problem. Odin wont recognize it when I plug it in it just says windows does not recognize device has malfunctioned or something along the lines of that, the bubble shows up over and over every two seconds. I got odin to recognize it once before, but my brother unplugged it XP. Now I can not get odin to recognize it again, any tips? I have a linux computer at my disposal as well if that helps. I am familiar with flashing, odin, android sdk, adb. I know I have drivers installed good because the same cable with the same port and same computer I actually modded this same device before my friend messed it up. Any help at all would be much appreciated.

I would recommend uninstalling and then re-installing your USB drivers and see if Odin will then recognize the phone. Another alternative would be to see if Heimdall recognizes the device and use that to flash the stock ROM to the device. If you are unfamiliar on how to use Heimdall I would recommend taking a look at this guide.

Heimdall on windows also will not detect it
Would it make a difference if I tried it on linux? I'll also try reinstalling drivers
Edit: reinstalling drivers did not work

You can try it on Linux I can't guarantee it will make a difference but I would try it anyway. If you are going to try it on Linux make sure you configure USB access for the device correctly in order for the computer to recognize your phone.
