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?

What I heard was get a real computer.

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....

Hey all,
I'm having real issues with my phone at the moment, I bought a PC from the college I work at, as they were upgrading and installed a fresh copy of Windows XP 32bit onto it, I am currently running Resurrection Remix 2.4, I wanted to be able to USB tether my phone to the PC whilst I am switching broadband providers, but when I try to connect it, both the phone tells me that the USB isn't connected and the PC doesn't pick it up either.
I tried downloading the USB drivers for the S2 to my USB stick at work and installing them that way, with no joy, I've tried flashing back to 2.3.5 (CheckROM Revo HD V6) other ICS ROMs and turning off USB Debugging but still nothing.
What can I do to sort this all out? I've searched all over Google and XDA, but I have yet to find a solution, any advice anyone can give me would be much appreciated.

Is there any way of connecting a jelly bean device to mac OSX?
I have successfully transferred files using AFT before, but after flashing a JB ROM, my mac has stopped detecting my GSIII.
I'm sure that there are other mac users out there. Any help would be appreciated.

I use Air droid from Play Store. Try it, its really good
Disable debug mode, try the media transfer option. Works for me with SuperNexus, whereas stock only worked with debug and camera mode.

Edit: Also do try the air droid apl. Although direct usb is way faster, I'm fond of air droid and how ellegantly simple it is.
Since flashing CM 10.1 nightlies back in december i hav't been able to connect it to any computers. It'll charge off usb just fine but wont connect for file transfer. I have Siyah v7.6.8-S for the i777 and everything works great except the usb functions like data transfer and usb teather. Anyone else have similar problems?
Edit: Right now i have the 20130208 nightly but none of the other cm10.1's have workd, but cm 9 and 10 both did. Also i've tried on my laptop which is ubuntu and other windows machines to no avail.
Using the Samsung version of the kernel on an aosp based Rom? Interesting choice. (Although the differences most likely are just Wi-Fi hot spot related). Also make sure you have all the drivers installed for your device on the computer. And of course try different usb ports.
Is there any possibility to downgrade my hox+ from Android 4.2.2 to 4.2.1 to use it without mtp?

Thanks a lot for your fast reply. The problem is that in fact many Win7 prof 64bit computers have problems with mtp. Also mine... I had this problem also with a motorola milestone 2 a few month ago and the only possibility to get connected was to reset my computer and to install Win 7 from the beginning. It was not funny but afterwards it worked with mtp.
Yesterda the support of HTC was not able to connect me with mtp. We telephoned about five hours and a connection to my computer didn´t work. So what to do?
greetings

Fix your computer, what else can i tell you, i never had MTP problems with various phones and several computers running win7/8/8.1.
Install proper antivirus so you dot get infected, and dont use some stupid boosting or registry tools which may disable important system services unless you know what your doing.
