I was using Zedomax's [GUIDE][ROOT][Mac][Linux]Epic 4G Touch Root on Mac or Linux using Heimdall!
When I attempted to flash the kernel this is the error I got. "Failed to detect compatible device error" Yes, I had my E4gT in download mode and connected to my Macbook.
Anyone have an idea how to fix the issue??
I saw a thread with a similar issue in the G Tab forum but the guy was using Windows, so it didn't help much. I would have replied in thread I was reading, but since I don't have 10 posts I couldn't reply in the Development section. Any help would be Great. Thanks!!!
I'm a fool, switched out the usb cable and everything was good to go.

I'm trying to root my Evo using the latest version of unrevoked, I've tried it both on my mac and pc. I've had no trouble installing the drivers for pc. My only problem is that every time i connect my phone to either computer its just says " waiting for device" and never starts the process. I've read that if i mount it as a storage device on my mac that it would work and I've tried it and it still hasn't. any suggestions?
someone tell me if im wrong but i believe the latest revisions of the evo come with an currently unrootable bootloader..i havnt done much research lately on that but this is what i read a few weeks ago..good luck with that

Hi,
I've searched all over and cannot finf an answer to my problem??? I have just upgraded to Leedroid v4 and everything works beautifully except I can no longer connect to my pc. It is recognized in device manager but the phone doesn't come up with splash asking how I want to connect it, and so I can't use it as a disk drive. The phone still charges though? I have tried ticking and unticking the ask and usb debugging options.
I don't really want to flash back to an older rom but if that the only way ill have to, can anybody help please????????/
I'm sorry, there is no way in hell you have searched all over. It's one of the most known bugs in the version 4 beta from Lee. It's on pretty much every page in the dedicated thread.
This is what you do. Either download Auto mount from Market OR change kernel to Unity's or Lord's. Both those kernels have fixed the USB connection problem.
Thanks for that. I searched the term not connecting to pc on this forum and google and didn't realise it was a mounting thing!
Np mate. You are most welcome.
i Too was looking for the same thing. Thanks a lot mate
The kernel was updated by Lee, you can try the new one from his thread (see my sig). New rom version should come this week.

There are many forum posts in XDA on this... none I found in this forum though. First off all, I do not have that error anymore as I did a battery pull suggested by other forums and worked like a charm.... except, now I have connected again and its giving me the upgrade option all over again. I am on 4.1.1 and on Win XP.... wanted to know if anyone had a similar issue and then got the upgrade and everything is fine. I am using 7100 on US ATT.... Thanks
Okay i feel ultra stupid for asking but..
I have my S3 softbricked and I have downloaded the latest Heimdall and Downloaded a firmware from the samsungupdates website
now I have NO idea what to do. Heimdall frontend only gives options to flash pit and then when i try the package thing, it says Firmware.xml is missing. I only have access to a very crappy iMac right now (512 mb of ram lol) and I need my phone up and running ASAP
Thanks in advance

If you haven't already worked it out, please read the README. It answers all your questions.
"Failed to confirm end of PIT file transfer" message
Hi everyone,
I wanted to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 to Android 4 (as some apps I'd like to use require this) so I did some research as I know that flashing devices can be a dangerous operation.
I'm a MAC (Snow Leopard) and Linux (Ubuntu) user so Odin was not an option for me. I read a great deal of nice things about Heimdall so I decided to try it to flash the ROM and install Jelly Bean.
I first made a backup of my phone.
I then downloaded the program (v.1.31), the xxjvu_heimdall.tar.gz package and opened it in Heimdall (after ungzing it of course).
Everything seemed to be okay (all fields filled as I read they had to) so I switched my phone off, started it on upload mode, connected it to my computer and pressed the "Start" button.
A few seconds later I had this message : "ERROR: Failed to confirm end of PIT file transfer".
As nothing happened in the next few minutes, I disconnected the phone, removed the battery and tried to start the phone.
Nothing.
I then tried to start it in upload mode and it worked (so I believe my phone is "soft bricked").
I've been trying different things along the past 5 or 6 hours : installing v.1.32 of Heimdall, trying to upload only the PIT and BOOT files. But nothing seems to work, I always get the same message.
I read that it could be a problem with Heimdall and my OS X distribution (Snow Leopard). But nowhere did I find a thread where people had been able to deal with this specific situation successfully.
I would be very grateful if someone could give me a hint. I only have access to my Mac for now and won't be able to try it on Ubuntu for a few days...
Thanks in advance,
Gael
You will get better help in the i9000 forums. Cheers

That's true, thanks.
I'll post there and tell the good news... As I just managed to falsh my I9000 using Heimdall v.1.30. Everything went smoothly. So in case someone with the same issue lands on this thread : try the 1.30 if you have problems with the other versions on OS X !
Okay i have seen similar posts around, and I apologize if this bothers anyone but when I post a thread asking for help, its because I've tried most solutions and have gotten nowhere. I recently bought one.of.these devices and I have to say for an old 1GHz device, its pretty darn smooth! (Got it for my girl who broke her phone. Cost $20 MINT screen, and some scuffs.on the trim believe it or not, fully functional, clean ESN)
I love for all devices in the house to be rooted and off that dreaded Gingerbread android. I have been stuck since i got it trying to use ODIN to flash CWM, and root it to flash a JB based rom. Problem is i installed the drivers, got the ODIN version required, have the CWM tar file, etc, the phone gets detected while on in ADB, normal file transfer way and so on. BUT Download Mode? Nope, i get the dreaded "Unknown Device" issue.
Now as I always read before annoying others, I read that switching the USB cable helps. I've tried 8 USB cables, and no go. 2 Samsungs (i read those are #1 NO GOs), 3 LG cables (device doesnt appear at all), and 3 non brand. No good.
I know Mobile Odin wont work, I rooted it using Framaroot.apk for now, but I need CWM for the rom flashing part.
So now that its 2013, is there really no other way other than ODIN? I tried using ROM Manager, it flashes but doesnt do a thing except boot into stock recovery (miracle no bricks or bootlooping). If I had Linux on my PC, will it get detected or its just the darn cable?
OR is there a specific USB cable brand I should go for that is guaranteed to work? I dont mind buying it just have been waiting to make sure.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank GOSH I read your response in time! I am currently at BestBuy and was going to buy a totally different brand USB. Hopefully they have them here.

I use this cable and have had zero issues. http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=5458&seq=1&format=2
Well there's good news and bad.
Got an official BlackBerry USB cable.
Bad is the device is STILL not recognized.
The drivers have been properly installed, there is no updating the drivers manually, effing Windows won't let me. What the hell can I do now?
If only Mobile Odin worked, or there were other methods, I wouldn't be going thru this mess...
Like where did I go wrong?
I would swap out Windows to Linux, but I don't see how that will get the device detected.
Matter of fact I was trying to install a Linux based OS from my flash drivd, and it corrupted it. Theres 8gb Ill never see again...
Any other ideas? Will Linux pick up the device?
EDIT: This USB unlike the others BRIEFLY detects it as a USB Device, then goes back to unknown when I uninstall it thru Device Manager

Are you plugging into a port directly on the motherboard? (IE: A port on the back of the machine.) Using an emulated port or hub can cause this at times.
FYI, there are 2 drivers. One is for when the phone is fully booted in Android. The other is the driver when in download mode. Have you tried using another machine?

I think your issue is driver related. I had similiar issues and updated the wiki with the drivers that ended up working for me.
