Dont get mad but have you tried Google? I put in ---- odin for --- and it finished it off for me. Then I clicked on the link where I then proceeded to download a file which is name odin 1.8.5.tar.gz - I am assuming the extension is for Mac? Correct?
If so come on man that was too easy.... If not my bad since I am not an apple guy...

there is a torrent for it
or use heimdall
but i prefer VMWare + Odin

I have used Heimdall in the past, but currently I use either Mobile ODIN, or I boot up Windows 7 in Parallels Desktop and do it that way. Both work great.

I wouldn't use parralel for Odin
Lets say parralel crashes or lags ur screwed

I use vmware and xp. No problems. Just make sure you always let vmware & windows take control of any USB devices and don't share them with host os (osx).

ditch odin and use heimdall.. dont have to worry about drivers etc.. infact use linux

Seriously? We run mission critical servers in Parallels or VMWare; they are rock solid. This is totally a good option for people. Even if it did lag, it won't ever screw up the ODIN download feature, so you can just restart and start over.

Heimdall is pretty good, but you can use 1 click odin package; it's super easy. takes like 2 minutes and you're good to go. Why don't you just compile your own OS, then build heimdall from source? then you can be a super l337 h4x0r

well i prefer to use linux, and i prefer to use heimdall because both work flawless for me. i use linux to compile android, and compile kernels, android is a linux derivative, linux is probably the most stable OS family to have ever been created.. the fact that you CAN compile heimdall, linux, and android from source makes them the better solution, but you dont have to.. which also makes them a good solution.. plus Odin has been known to brick phones..

[HEIMDALL] One Click EL29 Rooted + Recovery

I created a Heimdall one click el29 for all the linux users that dislike having to use odin or do not have a windows installation or vm set-up.
Heimdall is much better than odin its cross platform and open source. and it just came out with a new version

Wanna make your own? go to the links above and read start to finish. This is all it took me with a little bit of trial and error
All credit goes to the respective sources of each ie CHRIS41(THE REAL G) /adamoutler/sextape/Team Rouge/Benjamin-Dobell I did nothing except use their tools and have basic linux knowledge
The one click should work for windows/mac/linux
To run on linux open a terminal in the download location and type this
sudo java -jar el29rr-One-Click.jar ( or what eve you named it)
this is a safe recovery/rom to flash what ever you like.

ill have fi27 up same deal tomorrow with agat recovery AND ill be posting up every release after with good recovery (pending agat shows me how or sticks around)
just a note this is not complete stock i included fi27 modem with this package. as the package is ment as a one click flash to a new rom mostly for getting a gps/prl update
and it uses el29 cwm recovery from chris41g outta the rwilco repo.
ps dont donate to me i didnt do anything worthy. donate to chris41g or sbreezy they do the majority of the coding around here

second i dunno why its important

indeed i only use it because its open source and i dont have a windows pc plus its far superior.
it was more of a necessary and i figured im always flashing el to get a gps lock and after slick ricks aokp 4.1 it borked my serial and stuff so had to flash back and im rather against vming windows. I mean linux is a all around better operating system for users/powerusers and programmers. maybe not gamers but thats debatable and also why i have a ps3 lol

[Q] Downgrade UVDLI or root it on a Mac

Hi:
I've spent a couple weeks trying to find a solid solution to my issue, and haven't quite gotten it. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction, thank you.
- I have a t999/ t-mobile GS3. I flashed the so-called "leaked OTA 4.1 upgrade" UVDLI3 to it, and I'm not really happy with it.
- I'd like to go to a rooted phone, so I can install AOKP or similar. So I'd like to either root the existing UVDLI3, or downgrade to 4.0.4 so I can use the root script originated on XDA.
- I use a Macintosh computer. I can get access to a PC, but it's a bit dicey if I have to install software and drivers on it. Possible, but not preferable.
Any recommendations to get either rooted or back to 4.0.4? Thank you all very much.

There's an official jellybean release for T-Mobile better than the leak. Not sure what your asking but there's a root66 stock jellybean file you can Odin that has root already.

Thanks -- my biggest stumbling block is Odin, which is PC only, but the Root66 page suggests maybe mobile Odin would do it. I'll give that a try.

You need to be rooted in order to use mobile odin

Mobile Odin is a mac users savior!
Jus be careful to never lose root once you've got it.
If you haven't already, I would seriously recommend you get the Pro version for its EverRoot option.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

So I tried Mobile Odin, and realized that requires that I be rooted already (thanks also j_smith305). So it's either find a way to root UVDLI3, or downgrade to 4.0.4 and root that. Back to my original issue, I think.

You can install virtual machine on your mac and then install windows on it. You will have odin working on your mac without buying new pc. For free vm just make small research in google. Also you can try using some exe emulator. I think Wine is available for mac. Or make research if there is odin or something like odin for linux. If there is then download some linux (I recommend ubuntu) and install it on usb drive.

I've tried using odin on a virtual machine but I've had problems installing the samsung drivers on it. You can try doing it on bootcamp but I don't know if that'll work since I haven't tried it. I have a mac but I also have a PC so I do all my rooting and stuff on there. If you have no success on a mac, then your only option might be to just use windows if you can.

That won't work on Jellybean. Looks like we are gonna have to use bootcamp. I have to get my install discs bc you need the drivers to install windows. Mountain Lion sucks, and I hear Win 7 works flawlessly so lets see whats good.

Thanks very much -- I finally bit the bullet and borrowed someone else's PC, downgraded to 4.0.4, and then rooted that with the XDA-posted script. Worked great. I then installed Mobile Odin Pro, then the new Frosty Jelly Bean FW. Thank you so much.

So you installed newest FrostyJB? My suggestion is go back to odin and flash root66 4.1.1. You will get less problems with the rom and better battery life. People actualy reported that rom works better if you flash stock 4.1 before.
I'm just saying that so you can avoid some problems related to that and asking unnecessary questions in Frosty thread.

Thanks -- we'll see how it goes. Now that I have the thing rooted and OMP working, it's really easy to switch the ROM up. So far Frosty has worked well, and Root66 looks good too. I'd really like a good AOKP ROM to try out as well. Hope to find one that's reasonably stable.

[Q] Weird Heimdall issue

Sorry for bother, I never had problem like this with heimdall and I usually fix them myself but I flashed back to stock because my phone would not install roms correctly. Anyway now im trying to get back to root. I download the CWM recovery tar and extract the bin file and when I go to flash it is says ERROR: Setting up interface failed! then Re-attaching kernel driver. I unpluged my phone and it bricked it. It had the phone-computer logo on it. Im back to stock again but if I use the CWM tar I get bricked. It cant be my cord because I can flash back to stock with no problem BTW im using Ubuntu 13.04

Strange. The only time I've had that error screen with phone and computer was when I attempted to flash a NS4G modem in Odin and had a bad flash.
I would suggest redownloading CWM and compare hash sums. You could give TWRP a try too. (You download a .bin file if directly on their website.)
If still the same, then try to repartition.
I've never used Heimdall, so the above is all I can really suggest.

Well, outside of building a Windows VM in VirtualBox or using a friend's Windows machine to use Odin, have you tried to flash via adb fast boot?

Search Google for how to flash recovery via adb. There are a lot of tutorials around here. I'm pointing you that way so you can get familiar with the process and list of commands as a whole.

Thsnks man ill see i can get it working
EDIT: Now I didnt get to flash to work with adb because the device dosent support fastboot. BUT! I got CWM installed by going here http://oldwiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Samsung_Epic_4G:_Full_Update_Guide and getting that recovery and it worked.
But dude I didnt realize how useful adb was. trying to find out how to use it I did learn a few things about it. Ill be using adb now. By the way i got the other CWM (the one that bricked my phone) from

[Q] Heimdall 4.1.2 root method anywhere?

I'm stuck on my still crappy Macbook--my first 4.1.1 N2 rooted easy using heimdall (months ago), and the respective images in the root guide.
Well, after a warrantee replacement that has shipped with 4.1.2 that method is a no-go.
Anyone have the updated recovery file for heimdall on OSX?

I believe that Heimdall Flasher flashes .md5 rom files. Use STANDART in Heimdall to flash a .md5 rom file into SGH-T889 Galaxy Note 2.

Heimdall Flasher
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33074572

Thank you for that--still not clear on the tool.
I've always used the full "Heimdall Suite". I've never seen the "flasher".
I'll have to check it out while I wait another warrantee N2 (today's delivery came with an obstructed notification light).
You'd think with all of us poor saps stuck using OSX there would be a little more support--alas, was just about to build my own windows7 laptop when the wife and I decided to move half way across the country. *tear*

Nope. The flasher is a no-go.
Tries to run as an .exe file and that is a roadblock in OSX. I'm DL'ing a stock injected rom and going to try and run that through Heimdall...sucks all newer replacements have gone to 4.1.2.

I've tried extracting the md5s and I am getting a "missing XML files" prompt no matter which one I use...All it really needs is a .pit file to flash, or hell, even just the recovery.img. Sadly, the macbook refuses to open and separate the packages to let me get at them.
*sign* I hate OSX.

I don't have ... well no Macs. The reason being that Apple limits too much to their own ecosystem. So I can't look at their version of Heimdall Suite. I will play with the Windows version. reading the documentations The file needs firmware.xml to validate the rom. This is the developers way of making Heimdall safer than Odin. So the rom has to be created into Heimdall Firmware Package. Then flashed.

That makes sense. It seems all the initial exploits worked nice and easy, but since the update all hell has broken. I'm going to try and find a Windows box and just use odin.

If your Mac will allow you just boot camp into windows (first install windows of course), then install from there. If your Mac doesn't allow you to boot camp into windows then that can be a good reason to purchase a new mac.

Sadly it won't run bootcamp. And I'll never ever buy another Apple product. Looking into cheap net books right now just in case I cannot find a Windows box in the next 2 days.

I never tried Mobile Odin. But with the Pro version has a EverRoot mode that will root while flashing. Flashes while on your device. Same developer, Chainfire, as SuperSU Pro and [root] Triangle Away apps.
