I just got a Odin 1.85 for Mac, but i cant see anybody talking about it. I want to use Odin instead of heimdall. I about to try it. Let me know if somebody has.
how did you install it?
isn't it an .exe file???
I thought Mac's/linux used something else like heidmal? Isn't there a thread in dev for them?
There is one that was made with some windows wrapping technique. I have it and its the latest 1.85 I installed and looks just like the windows one but scared of using it until I know of somebody who has done it. You can search it on google, I'm on my phone i can't post the link now
I downloaded it, installed fine, but in download mode it does not detect my phone. I will play more and see if I can get it to work.

Ive seen that tutorial, but dont want to use Heimdall, Im on Lion and lots of people are having problems. Ill just keep using my windows pc, but i would rather use Odin on Mac.
I second that. I need to try using Odin via VMware Fusion just to see if it works that way. I really don't like having to get back on my windohs pc unless I have too. Hoping someone will get the bugs worked out of this version.
that's a good idea, I was thinking Parallels for mac. I tried using Virtualbox but its too limited ,it won't even see a thumb stick. Let me know if it works with VM.
I thought you had to use Heimdall on a Mac. I am no expert on the subject though

Anyone get Odin to run in VMWARE FUSION
Has anyone been able to use ODIN in Fusion. I'm trying to root and install clockworkmod on epic but Fusion does not see my phone in Download mode. If this doesn't work what are the options on a mac to root epic on gingerbread?
Only way I can use Odin on my Mac was to install Windows using Bootcamp. It now recognizes both my Razr and my gTablet.
You'll have to boot into Windows rather than using a virtual Windows session.

Its an issue with Samsung. They need to update the SBL before it'll work.
Someone on another site said you had to have installed the binary .deb package the "backend" and then it satisfies the dependency and thennn you install the frontend. If that makes sense to you.

That doesn't work I've tried. I actually contacted the developer of heimdall and he said that it has something to do with the bootloaders. Also I believe chris4g also said the same thing.

I've tried to run Linux, and it hasn't worked for me. I was probably just doing something wrong. And I think bootcamp is Windows-only.
any new developments on getting this to work? i was about to start my own thread on this in Q&A.. ive been doing a lot of research to get heimdall working with my mac on 10.6.8
have the latest heimdall with a GUI i believe 1.1.1, does not recognize the phone in DL mode..
did find this guide started by the heimdall dev.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878686
specifically this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9918224&postcount=2 relating to the bootloader being basically crappy on galaxy S phones, and you need to update it in order to get a mac to properly recognize the device. of course this post is not epic specific, so im not sure if this applies for us
my understanding is that its boot.bin that is the bootloader in a TAR file...i dont think theres an epic user on XDA that hasnt odined at least the EC05 update. the post talks about how you need to get the "froyo bootloader", sounds like we already have that if we have odined EC05
the OP on the heimdall guide above has new versions? wondering if anyone has tried these command line versions? there is also somestuff in there that says the usb not recognizing issue is fixed in these newer versions.
i would love to get this working.. my only PC is from 2005, and the last time i tried to odin a modem it blue screened immediately after hitting start, i really dont trust the thing to be honest.. reinstalling windows does not seem to help..
I've got my shiny new AT&T Captivate Glide (imported to the UK), which I want to root. Having looked at the instructions for rooting with Odin3, I dug out an ancient Windows XP SP2 CD and installed it in a VirtualBox VM, having not actually used Windows since about 2001. Unfortunately that's where I got in trouble - all the rooting guides say to install the Samsung drivers, which I do but Windows still says there's no driver for the phone. Grepping all the .inf files that the USB driver installed shows that none of them actually contain the phone's USB product ID (685e), so I'm a bit confused how this is supposed to work.
So having failed at getting anything to work under Windows, I thought about trying Heimdall under Linux. Some Googling reveals a few posts saying that it won't work at all with the Captivate Glide (or any Tegra 2 based devices), but since "heimdall detect" recognises the device when it is booted into download mode, I'm wondering if this is no longer true - can anyone confirm whether or not Heimdall now works with the Captivate Glide?
Secondly, all the rooting instructions I've come across tell me to download the firmware (AT&T / Rogers) that is appropriate for the device, but I've noticed that a few people on the forums say they are using the Rogers firmware with AT&T devices. Am I correct in assuming that I can actually flash it with either firmware without any issues?
And my final question Most of the specs for the phone I have found on the internet says it supports NFC, whilst most of the discussions I've seen says it doesn't. Sure enough, the AT&T software doesn't appear to support NFC, but can anyone confirm whether or not the hardware does?
Any pointers would be appreciated before I go ahead and flash the phone. Thanks.
I've put both rogers and AT&T roms on my AT&T phone...
Also, I believe that you are supposed to download Kies to windows, as it does the drivers for you. Just make sure before you try odin, that you kill all kies processes in the task manager (in windows).

Well, I tried Kies and it refused to install with an unreadable error message (the only readable bit was "SP3" which makes me think it needs Service Pack 3... which is a pain since Windows Genuine Disadvantage is telling me my genuine Windows CD isn't genuine and therefore won't let me install SP3. My first Windows experience in over 10 years isn't exactly going well).

STOP.
Odin does NOT like VirtualBox; you could brick your phone and you WILL corrupt your VM.
Unfortunately Heimdall doesn't work with the Glide. It sees the phone but when it tries to do any write operation it errors out. (I think the protocol is different somehow.) You'll have to find a native(!!) XP/Vista/7 system (I used my Win7 x64 gaming machine, it worked flawlessly) to get the party started. Failing that, a BartPE bootdisk *should* work but nobody's ever tried it. Once you have the ICS bootloader installed and have CWM, you won't need Odin again.
The phone doesn't have NFC -- someone (Dr.Mario I think) actually tore a Glide apart and looked at the board; there's no such chip.

I don't know about 8, but the Win7 piracy interlocks are even worse. And frankly, this is bad advice.. nobody's tested Odin on Win8. If you don't have the expertise to recover from a bad flash, you could be digging your phone a shallow grave.

Hi.
I'm reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539
which is very useful, trying to flash a stock ROM using Odin. My GT-N7100 is bricked, possibly with SDS. I'm on Mac OSX 10.8.4 and as far as i have read i need to download Odin 3.0.7 to my Mac (do they have a .dmg of this?). Samsung USB drivers to my Mac and the stock firmware from Sammobile.
The problem it is that everything is made for Windows. I'm seeing Samsung drivers in only Windows enviroment.
How can i flash using Odin on Mac OS X. Any links?
Thanks.
Another pal with SDS.
Hello there, Unfortunately I'm in the same boat as you. I'm on a Mac primarily but do have a windows desktop I can turn to when I come across windows only solutions as we have here. You can install a windows os using bootcamp or virtually through something like virtualbox on the Mac. For me though the windows route isn't getting anywhere. I don't think you have a full SDS situation where your phone is a complete brick like mine though. From your posts it sounds like you can at least get into download mode correct? If so you should be able to download the original 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 firmware for the Note II and flash via Odin. I wish I could at least try this step but as it is my phone is completely dead and won't boot at all. I'm trying to figure out how to submit a support request in the US right now which is proving very unsuccessful so far since we have the Galaxy Note International version (GT-N7100) which Samsung USA does not support in any way. I'm taking my phone to a local cell phone/tablet repair shop tomorrow to see if they can get anything accomplished. Good luck in your quest!
I have done more reading and have downloaded Heimdal 1.4- as well some random country GT-N7100 stock sammobile build .tar file (June- 4.1.2)
Please i need some incredibly generous person that might have an idea how i can flash a custom rom using Hemdal 1.4. My phone doesn't boot. I only have access to the "download mode". (No- recovery mode). I'm almost sure i have SDS (Sudden Death Syndrome) and i'm using OSX and my only choice is to try to flash the Note II with Heimdral.

Honestly, since your sd card was formatted and you've already lost everything I would just use LGNPST back to stock. Here is a link to @engine95's thread for rooting/unlocking here. You will see the link for lgnpst and teenybins. You will need to use irc and go to the #lg-optimus-g channel to get the download links for it. Once you enter the irc channel, at the very top you will see "You won't read this but..." followed by a link. Click that link and you will find everything you could possibly need. Some people(depending on version of Windows) have problems with LGNPST and the LG drivers, so in the links you will find a vmware image with LGNPST already set up. And instead of using a teenybin, just use the most recent full stock bin. All the directions, files, etc will be right there after following that link in the irc. If you dont have vmware workstation just google it - you can get a free fully functional copy from their website for a month - as well as how to set it up using an existing virtual image. Once set up, just follow the directions in the irc links for download mode and LGNPST. Doing this will essentially put your phone back to stock factory settings, so you will have to reroot and unlock the bootloader again once it's done - but at least you will have a functioning phone again.
It may seem complicated at first but I had to do this once and it was pretty easy. The vmware image will already have the proper drivers installed and will lead to less troubleshooting/problems. But make sure you use vmware workstation NOT oracle virtualbox. Virtualbox had usb issues with LGNPST and I never got the vmware image to work properly - vmware workstation worked like a charm. Hope this helps!
EDIT: And if you have a nandroid backup saved to your pc, after rooting/unlocking again - as long as you are using the same recovery you can move the nandroid from your pc back to your phone and restore it. If not, make sure you not only make a backup this time but save a copy to your pc in case anything like this happens again.

Get the stock zvc .bin file from engine's thread that I linked to earlier and grab the vmware image from the link in this edit. You could use the stock zvb bin found in the link above but then you will have to update to zvc, easier to just use the one engine has in his guide.
Have you ever put your phone into download mode? Its simple, once you download vmware workstation, the vmware image, the stock bin and get it all set up - make sure your phone is completely powered down. Plug the usb into your pc, but before connecting the other end to your phone hold both volume buttons in, then connect it. Your phone should turn on and be in download mode. Then you are ready to use LGNPST and flash the stock bin. If you need the .dll file in LGNPST that can also be found in the link I just gave you but I think the vmware image may have it already installed? Can't remember, just make sure you are using ls970/sprint or whatever.

Vmware workstation is virtualization software. Vmware wont help you by itself. It runs operating systems from within other operating systems. If you are on windows and want to run mac osx or linux(or even android), thats what vmware does. In the links from irc you will see a vmware image with lgnpst already set up. So you run that image in workstation and it will boot into a windows xp build with lgnpst and drivers already set up EXACTLY as they should be. Make sense?
If it's too difficult you can just try setting lgnpst up on your current pc, the irc links have guides for everything. Personally I think it was much easier to just load the virtual image in workstation because its configured exactly as it should be.
The goal is to run LGNPST - it's LG's flashing tool which is why we cant link directly to it.
EDIT: Didnt see your and engine's other replies, just the notification I had for this one - if you already have lgnpst, follow his directions for the fix, dont worry about vmware - unless you cant get lgnpst to work. Then try running lgnpst from the vmware image.
That makes sense but the file i downlaoded from irc says its not supported by vm ill do some more digging tho

It might depend on how you are using it. If you just tried to open it with vm it wont, you have to set up vm using an existing vm file. Google for instructions, again its simple and takes just a few steps to set up.

Hi there I just had a quick question that I can't seem to find anywhere on the net.
Ok so I only have access to Mac OSX computer. I would only like to root my sprint Note 4 running 4.4.4 and possibly reflash my soft bricked sprint galaxy S3 (but that's not as important)
Now to root my Note 4 I've tried Jodin but myself and a few others can't get the required pit file no matter how many attempts so I eventually gave up.
I stumbled across a different method of emulating Odin via WINE, it was suggested that only Odin 1.85 was stable enough to run via emulation so my question is can Odin 1.85 flash a cf root tar to a Sprint note 4?
If not then my last ditch effort is, would it be possible for someone else to upload their sprint note 4 pit file for me to use with Jodin? I've heard this is strongly advised against but I'm literally at the end of my wit.
Any and all helpful suggestions are welcome

Sorry I can't help, but I gave up my quest and bought a cheap lap top. I wish they had odin for mac! I used to use my work PC, but the company put the stops to that....anyway, subscribing to this thread as I would love to pitch the laptop over a cliff... sorry windows is like a cheap whore, even with norton, it still gets viruses
Have tried boot camp
Have you ever used boot camp on your Mac Book, You can partition a certain amount of you Hard drive to installed Windows and when you boot up your Mac Book, you will have a choice of booting in your Mac O/S or Windows. I went out and bought 64 bit Windows 9 and set up about 80 gigs off of my Mac Book hard drive, then I follow a YouTube video of how to installed Windows with boot camp. Every thing work out perfectly, so if there no Mac method to rooting a particular phone, I have Windows on my Mac Book for problems like yours. Or you can purchase a cheap azz Laptop! Look at some videos on Boot camp to see if its something you think you want to do.
^ I tried vwware fusion..windows would run just fine, odin would run but it would not allow me to flash anything...im guessing its using usb3 ports...thats all my mac book has
