I've already got the 3 files on the Mac OS X. (Modem, Kernal, and ROM). They are extracted as md5.
Now here's my problem, when I try putting my phone in Download mode, it's like it won't connect to the Mac and I get a message on the laptop saying "(Gadget {something} is not configured.) (I forgot the second part to Gadget) Anyways, I click on configure, and it tells me to put in some info like: Account, password etc. Now I'm not paying the bill, so I don't know the account or password. I tried checking some options for USB settings. I tried connecting with debugging on and off. Still nothing.
Again, I have the files and everything I need, my problem is connecting while in download mode.
Maybe there's another method for installing a Root on the Epic 4G while using Mac?
Help is greatly appreciated.

Even when the phone ISN'T in download mode, it won't connect. I'd have to use AirDroid.

Wait! I didn't install the Samsung/ANDROID Drivers, because this Mac isn't mine, so I don't know how. Maybe thats the problem?
Can someone please explain how to install the Samsung/Android Kies to a Mac?!?
Again, any help is greatly appreciated.

I booted into windows to root so I doubt ill be much help. First of all OSX recognizes my epic without drivers. Second, odin does not work on OSX and as I understand you have to use a program called heimdal. In general I've found rooting much easier in windows.

I'll get that program later. I'll check that out to see if that works.
But my phone still won't connect to the Mac.

I just tethered to my roomates windows machine which has XP on it, just to test for you. I'm on decks 1.2y. I was first on tiamat 4.0.5 and wired usb tethering didn't work. I switched to SZ 2.2.1 and it started working fine. Have you tried using a different kernel? Are you sure your USB cable is good? Did the drivers install properly on the computer? (when I checked USB tethering for the first time, a little box popped up by the notification tray that said 'installing drivers', then said 'drivers installed successfully'. Did you get this?) Have you tried pdaNet or EasyTether just for the fun of it, to see if either of those apps work?
If you want wired tether just use pdanet its free in the market or the other free wired tether app with the big phone icon I forgot the name.

All you need is the proper drivers installed on your comp. The pdanet drivers should work
Then the native tethering should work

Okay i'm trying to root my phone using the galaxy note tool kit and your phone has to be in debugging mode. Well when i turn debugging mode on nothing happens. it has attempted to install the drivers like 3 times (it doesn't try every time i plug my phone in only once in awhile) but all 3 times it has failed to install the android_samsung driver. can anyone help?
I have heard people say to install pdanet on your pc. The Samsung drivers in it seem to work on our Notes.

Maybe try a different pc then? I know I had a hell of a time using Revolutionary to root my Evo 3D. It just would not work on my HP Lappy running windows 7 64bit. I had to use my wife's little Acer Netbook. Worked like a charm. so try to use another pc in the mean time.

Hello, I've been trying to get my phone to connect to my mac via USB but have had no luck. I've tried Kies, AFT but nothing has worked out. I'm just trying to transfer my music and bluetooth takes way to long. I've searched other threads but it seams like no one has come up with a solution to the problem, is there anyone who can point me in the right direction or have a simple fix? I'm running CM Nightly 10.1 20130222 and my Mac is running Lion 10.7.5. Any help will be appreciated, thank you.

Is that the factory cable included with the phone? Different (even rear) usb ports? Sorry for the small questions. Starting at the bottom

yes it is the factory cable, I have tried other cables as well. Tried both of my USB ports. Is there any other program other than AFT and Kies that I could use? Im using Wifi File Explorer Pro right now to transfer files but I would like the speed of USB if I could get it

you likely wont get the speed of usb on an "air" transfer app. do you have usb debug mode on? i use airdroid to transfer files
For Windows you can use drivers in my Sig fixed hardware I'd . For Mac find old drivers

Check your drivers in windows. Also make sure you are NOT using fast charge.
I bet it is the cable. I had the same issue. Go to device manager and enable "show hidden devices". Then delete every driver that has something to do with your phone. Then plug your phone in with a diffrent cable. Worked for me. Also you can try to enable or disable usb debugging.

I had a similar issue. I couldn't get the phone to be recognized on my work PC (using a cable that has always worked) or at home on Mac using Android file transfer and a different cable. What I think happened in my case is that I was connected to my PC in MTP mode then I unselected MTP so that neither MTP nor PTP was selected. That is what was aiming for (I only wanted to charge not connect). Though then when I went to plug in later as described above nothing came up. I looked all over for the USB settings to change it back to MTP but couldn't find it. I am sure it is there somewhere.
Anyways, after rebooting several times with no luck, I went nuclear (factory reset) which did the trick. I am running Shiny 4.4.2 and have had a pretty buggy go of it. I am likely switching ROMs, not that this necessarily has anything to do with it.
Good luck!
So the other day I was tethering to my PC I disconnected to go eat cake back and now it won't connect to any computer. I really need to get this fixed. Thanks for the help in advanced.

what rom? Though, i've never had any success getting it working again without switching roms.

You could try reinstalling the lg drivers on the computer. Is it recognized in windows device manager or does is not come up there as well?
Yeah, I just recently had this problem as well, except I didn't get to eat cake :[. Mine does show up in device manager, but not in drives/storage. I've been having to upload everything via dropbox or adb. I was on cm11 with cwmr and switched to cmremix and also switched to the philz touch, logically I think it might be one of those or a combination of the two that did it, but I can't be sure cause I know how my phone can just be finicky sometimes.
Edit: I did try updating to the latest lg driver and that didn't help.
I'm getting this also, I use airdroid or TeamViewer instead as a workaround
