i am MAC victim for android phones. kies does not support my device for update and also not able to find odin for mac for manual upgrade. do i have to live with 2.2.1 please ?
ODIN is a service software, I think Samsung didn't make a version for Mac or Linux :|.
As far as i know you have to use heimdal on mac...
Not that i am sure but think i read about it somewhere...
Maybee worth a look...

Maybe you can use virtualized windows on your Mac.

I cant test it.

Confirm heimdall works
Sorry to post to a dead thread, but can anyone confirm heimdall working for Ace? (I need to flash CWM)
I cant find written conformation anywhere
Also (off-topic) can samsung download mode on Ace (etc) flash to all partitions without any hacks (ie no root kernel)?
Thanks
If you need to flash CWM why don't you use flashable CWM zip in stock recovery? It works for me (CWM 5).

I'm not really sure of the differences between the Samsung fascinate and this t-mobile galaxy tab i bought but i am coming from an Evo 4g and normally i can format My SD, and do a full wipe, then install Rom from SD through either amons RA recovery or Clockwork, I've only had the tab about 4 days and I am ready to get to learning this system but from what i read to install OVERCOME 1.6 or later i need to use a windows pc which i do not have access to. I Purchased the T mobile GSM galaxy tab from someone else( and its using the sgh-t849 firmware and not the p1000 ? little confusing there, also i planned on unlocking the GSM to work with AT&T and if possible to make phone calls on it,
when i purchased it from a guy it was already rooted, when i ran the bootloader patch i get :
Device SGH-T849
t-mobile galaxy tab
Bootloaders - YOU ARE SAFE!
Signed: none
Not signed: PBL,SBL.SBL_backup, Kernel
Assessment: can flash anything
next i'm told to do the Stock Safe jmk zip and flash it with some weird utility called ODIN3.exe which as the name suggest is a pc program, i only use UNIX based Mac's and the occasional Linux Flavor of the month from one of my multiboot linux flash stcks, is there an alternative to this for macs? is there no way to just flash a file in recovery? without using some pc program? or running some vmware based tool like virtual box? also i can run ABD through Ecliped but im not really knowledgeable about it. PLEASE HELP ME! thanks
Heimdall is available for osx, but if you have clockwork recovery mod installed it's simpler to use that.

I have mac also and it's intel based . I installed windows on one small partition ( bootcamp ) just for some games and flashing roms on tablets and phones . You can install windows on bootcamp ( but you will also need original mac os dvd for drivers ) that came with your mac or run Parallels Desktop software on your mac and install virtual windows . Don't bother with vmware . parallel Desktops is shareware but you can find it on warez ( I did ) can't share link here ... than use ODIN . Or just run hemdall on your mac
?
im a little confused? are you saying i can install without using odin? when i try skipping the steps that involve using odin and try to install from the sd through clockwork i get

argh I agree mate . Oh .. about heimdall ... I don't know if it works on samsung galaxy tab . I used heimdall on my galaxy s ( it is designed for it ) and CWM is tricky to install . I followed this guide http://theunlockr.com/2010/11/29/how-to-flash-a-custom-recovery-image-on-the-samsung-galaxy-tab/
but I am sorry to say without windows you are s.c.r.e.w.e.d.
I don't like windows one bit but I have it just for few things , and when I am done I go wash my hands and flush my eyes with cleareye
rgr
i have a WIN7AIO corp image on a usb but its at work, ill just try to wait and use the windows method... i didn't think installing roms on this tab would be so much more difficult than on my EVO ill get it on there though, oh does anyone know if ill be able to make calls with my Tmobile galaxy tab with an AT&T sim? i was reading
it seems possible but does it work correctly on 3g?

Well, there is a catch: you need the CWM version of whatever you want to flash. For example look at the Overcome thread, it has files for Odin and files for CWM... separate files.

Okay. Look for the cf-root kernel thread. Chainfire prepared a pre-rooted kernel for (almost? ) every firmware.
Look for the right one.
You know how to flash a kernel with odin?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

plz tell me all the steps cause im new at android
Download Odin. You should find it somewhere here on xda or google.
Download the cf-root kernel.
I think its a ".tar"-file.
Open odin.
If you have installed KIES, close both KIES-processes in the taskmanager.
Reboot phone into downloadmode. (Vol down + home + power)
Connect your phone via usb to your pc. A little box in odin should appear now and should say something like "Added".
Now press on the "pda"-button and browse to the cf-root kernel. Click start and if everything is done correctly, xour phone should reboot automatically. Now you should see the app "Superuser".
Hope this helps.
Anyway, im not responsible for any errors or damages to your phone
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
plz give me a link to download the compatible version for my galaxy s thank you very much i know that i bothered you
Okay.
Firt of all, here is the direct link to the CF-Root-Thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Theres a step-by-step guide by chainfire too.
Download this kernel from his site:
http://download.chainfire.eu/123/CF-Root/SGS/CF-Root-XW_DBT_JVI-v3.7-CWM3RFS.zip
And flash it as mentioned in his thread with odin
Hope this will help you out
im i obliged to use that chanefire ??
No. You could use any other kernel from chainfire. Or you can use Semaphore, Galaxian, Talon, Speedmod or any other Gingerbread-Kernel.
You can either try the 1-Click-Rooting Tool. You should find it on google and somewhere here on xda.
i cant find in one click root my device :crying: or i didnt dee it can you plz go and search for me thank you very much
One more question.
Do you want to root, to do a backup of your apps?
Or do you want to get a Nandroid-backup?
Nandroid-Backup is something like an image of your pc.
EDIT:
Anyway.
The easiest and safest way is to flash the cf-root kernel with Odin.
Follow the instructions in the cf-root kernel and you should be good to go.
Its pretty easy.
My wife asked me to put her phone back to stock Samsung firmware as she didn't want CM10.1 anymore (yes, I said she was silly)
Anyway the problem is.....My computer will not recognise her phone, It's running Windows 8 are the i9000 incompatible?
I have Kies installed and it recognises my phones fine, both Samsungs.
So....I was wandering if either there is anyone that knows how to sort this out as I have tried everything I can think of. Or are there flashable ZIP packages anywhere of stock firmware I can flash through recovery?
Thank for any help

Use task manager to kill any Kies tasks that you find running, install i9000 windows driver (google search) than flash desired rom (preribly stock) via odin.
Yes, I did that just yesterday running Win8.
You can find stock roms over HERE
---------------------------------------------------
phone: i9000
rom: CyanAOSP v0.5.2
kerel: Semaphore 2.9.7s
Thanks for your quick response! I always kill kies when using Odin so that wasn't an issue. However I was under the impression that installing kies gave me the drivers so thank you for your advice I'll install i9000 drivers separately and hopefully sus it out.
Thanks mate

Hello all !
I'm new to Ace. My friend just donated it to me.
After seeing the Ace for a while, i realized it's still Froyo (2.2.1). I want to upgrade it, but i use Ubuntu (Odin can't flash firmware on Ubuntu with Wine).
But, after that i remembered Heimdall, that i use to flash my Galaxy SII.
Now, the question is, does Ace supports Heimdall and vice versa ?

Hi!
For our Ace Odin and other programms are normally just used to flash stock ROMs. In all threads of custom ROMs you will find zip files which should be flashed in CWM 5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291327 It is much easier. But you have to do all wipes on your own.
Ace doesn't support heimdall. Go to a near by service center to get the latest firmware on your ace.

Yeah, i know about Odin. I know about stock ROM since i already own Galaxy Mini, Young, and Nexus 4. Odin can't detect phone in Ubuntu (since Wine doesn't implement USB Detecting). Will go to SSC to upgrade my firmware.

If you want a stock ROM, update using Kies. EDIT: Saw that you are using Ubuntu. Forget this.
That worked for me.
However, I recommend trying a custom ROM. That will give you Android 4.2.2 and a faster phone. Try one of these: EDIT: You won't need a computer for that.

Your phone is not officially supported by Mobile Odin. That is a risk.
If you want to continue, go to this link and download CWM-FROYO.Tar. at the bottom.

Once you downloaded the .Tar file, follow the instructions at this link.

Well,
Odin is a program that Samsung engineers use to directly flash the software onto a user's phone.
Example, when you go to a service center for your handphone repair, Samsung will flash your handphone's software using Odin.
Kies is a consumer based suite where you can do a lot of different things like updating software and backup.
You can either use Kies or Odin to upgrade your phone software BUT! You can only use Odin to install CWM (custom recovery).
Use Kies if you want to upgrade only, use Odin if you want to upgrade AND install custom recovery.
You need a computer for both programs. If you want to install using Odin, computer based Odin and not mobile odin, do tell me so I can help you. Using Odin can break your device if you don't do it properly.
I hope this gives you a better understanding of how Android works.
Wow it was really worthful information for me...
But bro i would like to first update using kies if it really supports my device..because i have the following aims
First update to new version to experience my new featured phone..
Second to install CWM using odin as u have said...

Sure you can update using Kies. Those who are much more comfortable with Android would directly update to the latest software version using Odin and then flashing CWM as it's much more direct.
For me personally, one of the first thing I would do when I get a new phone would be to get root, install/flash CWM and then install/flash the latest Android version using CWM. It's much more faster and convenient because I would only need to use the computer once, and that's to install CWM on my phone and I can use CWM to install a newer Android version or custom rom.
One thing to remember is that, if you have root and you choose Kies to update your phone to the latest version, you will lose your root access on your phone. So remember to install root again after you update your phone.
Second thing to remember is that, once you have updated your phone's software, PLEASE BE AWARE OF WHICH VERSION OF CWM YOU ARE FLASHING. If it's meant for Froyo, don't install it on Gingerbread and vice versa. If you don't, the installation might not be successful or YOU MIGHT EVEN BRICK YOUR DEVICE!
Thirdly, when you're using Odin to flash CWM or updating the software, please READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY! Odin has some options that you can select but most of the time you don't have to change anything. If you are unsure if it's the correct options, close Odin and rerun it. Doing that will reset the options to it's default. THIS IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT! If you try to install CWM or update your software and you selected the wrong options, you can permanently brick your device!
That's all. It's very long, I know, but since this is your first time I think it would be good to let you know of the dangers that you might face if you do things wrongly or do not follow the instructions. Glad that I can help. If you're still unsure you can just ask here again.
Yes offcourse we should know the both +ve and -ve aspects of what we are doing...but i would say, by questioning i have many more learnt than to read the other farms and also better than googled...
Also i feel confidence what i will do..
But kies should update my phone to the latest version...but is gingerbread the latest one?
send from my GT s5570 froyo..
Yeap, it would update your phone to the latest. Officially it is Gingerbread, but you can also flash up to jellybean on unofficial ones too.
Also using kies can i update to jellybean or with CWM...

You can upgrade your device to jellybean with cwm only. Before that you need to be on gingerbread, not froyo.

What he said. Samsung only provided Android upgrade up to Gingerbread for your device. You can check out his thread and follow his instructions there and install Jellybean. Once you have CWM installed, it'll take about a few minutes or so to upgrade to Jellybean via recovery. At least most of the time lol. And like he said, it'll save a lot of headaches in the future.
Bro i would like to begin with kies...no problem which one...but once i will jump to gingerbread,flash cwm and then partition as i have said you before...
Also will i overcome the problem of incompatible applications...e.g firefox and many more...if not...
Then will it be possible to jump from gingerbread to jellybean or so..can you please clear...

Yeah. Flash CWM using Odin. Don't partition your phone using Odin though.
Flashing a jellybean custon rom should solve the problem of incompatible applications as it's a much newer version of Android than Gingerbread.
But, some custom roms requires you to flash some stuffs first if you're upgrading from Gingerbread to Jellybean.
You can always check with @Venkatesh what to flash as he's a rom developer for one of the Jellybean rons for your phone.

No. You need to use Odin on your computer to flash CWM. But once you have root and CWM, you can upgrade your software directly using the .zip file from your phone in recovery mode.
