Does anyone know how to get a mac laptop to recognize my fascinate? I need to be able to push files to my fascinate with my mac laptop. I have installed heimdall and when I try to flash a file it says "failed to detect compatible device". I even installed parallels desktop and have windows on my mac as well and I can't use Odin because it says "no drivers found". I have downloaded the drivers and installed them but it still says "no drivers found". Any help would be much appreciated.

As another OS X user, I am faced with the same problem with Heimdall not recognizing my Fascinate. I don't know how to rectify this issue.
However, I have found that I have to enable USB Debug Mode (under Applications/Development) in the settings prior to connecting the USB each time I want to connect to my mac for file swap. I don't think I needed to do this before, so I think it's due either to the ROM or kernel I'm using.

This suggestion is for heimdall, i don't know if it works with mac or not.
Did you plug the phone in with it in DL mode, open the heimdall files, open the drivers file in there and run zadig? You have to have to be in DL mode while in zadig then you go to options, at the top, check list all devices, it will say samsung usb composite device, or samsumg android composite usb. Anyway it is something like that, heimdall wont work in windows either if you dont do this step. hope that helps. as for odin i think there is a program out there called odin clone but i have no idea where to find it, maybe google does.
Heimdall doesn't support the Fascinate on Mac, so either install Linux or Windows.

I have windows installed on my Mac via parallels desktop and when I put my phone in download mode and try to install drivers, where it says "list all devices" it doesn't have Samsung composite as an option.

The problem isn't with Heimdall or OS X. The issue is with Samsung's faulty secondary bootloader not adhering to the USB specification. As such the device won't be recognised by OS X or even a virtual machine running inside OS X.

So, basically what you are telling me is that I will not be able to push files to my fascinate with my Mac, correct? The problem is the fascinate communicating with Mac right? Can't be done?

Well I just wasted about an hour getting all of the necessary things to get Heimdall running, so this is disappointing to hear. From what I read, I thought that was an Eclair issue and that it might be solved with the Froyo update?

Assuming that Samsung haven't released a working secondary bootloader for the Fascinate, then you can't use OS X to flash. "Mac" and "OS X" aren't the same thing, if you want you could install Linux or Windows on your Mac and you would still be able to flash. That's hardly ideal but it's Samsung's fault and there's not a whole lot anyone else can do about it.

You're talking about partitioning my hard drive? Because I have windows running on my mac via parallels desktop. I would need to run boot camp or something like that?
I was just thinking boot camp myself, but if the issue is how Apple handles the USB on the computer, then the problem would still be there, cause the windows drivers installed through boot camp for the Mac hardware are still written by apple, and the physical hardware of the laptop will also remain the same, so....

I have iMac. I installed Odin with crossover (Wine), VM ware (w/Windows XP), Parallel (w/ windows XP). Unfortunately, Odin couldn't recognize my phone (com port).
Finally, I installed Odin on windows XP with bootcamp. It recognized my phone, and I was able to flash my phone.
If you are using Mac, bootcamp must be the only way to make Odin work from my experience. Thx.

When I plug my phone into my computer, it is no longer recognized by windows. It used to... now it doesnt...
I have googled this
I have checked the forums
I have NOT found a solution that works
I have tried booting my phone while it's plugged in.
I have tried reinstalling kies.
The phone comes up as "uknown device" in the usb section of device manager, when i specify the 64bit drivers(I'm running win7 pro 64) it says drivers are up to date! and then proceeds not to work.
I have also tried setting my phone into usb debugging mode.
I have tried all my computers usb ports.
If anyone knows how to help me I'd really appreciate it.... and if I've blindly missed something feel free to call me a moron so long as you successfully help me

I have noticed that some ROM's will enable debugging, I personally run a MAC. But you may want to check those settings to see if its enabled/disabled. But if your charging on it you should be good. Have you tried to odin back to stock and seeing if that helps?
Other thing: do you have the samsung drivers installed on your PC? even if you don't you should still see the external storage just not the internal.

What rom are you using? If you are running one of the test CM7 builds you have to download the Google drivers from the Android SDK.
Does your phone show up when you mount it as external memory? Did you install the drivers and kies as an administrator?
exact same scenario!
I am having the exact same issues as the OP! Except that i have the unbranded gt-i9000. My galaxy s is completely stock, no custom firmware or launchers. Heck, after the last factory reset, not even any apps!
I have tried every suggestion on every search i could do. I have 4 computers with xp sp3, win7 sp1, ubuntu 10.04.1, and mac os x 10.5.8. Nothing is working on any of them. I've even tried different usb cables, just to rule that out.
Could it be a samsung hardware issue?
Weird situation that makes little sense. When I connect my GP to my PC nothing shows in Odin.
1. Windows detects the device
2. I can transfer files if I connect as storage
3. I can flash using Heimdall
4. The cable is known good
5. The USB port seems legit
6. I have USB debugging turned on
7. GP is rooted
8. Odin ver. 1.85
I know I have to have done something stupid. The device itself is fine and in perfect working order other than Odin not being able to see it. The searches I have done usually point to bad cables or USB ports. I can keep trying different ports but I only have one cable(the original) and it has worked without issue ever since I cracked open the retail package.
Anyway, it's not a huge issue(again, the device is fine). It just struck me as weird. I'll keep trying new USB ports and maybe another PC then report back. If you have any ideas what could have caused this, I'm all ears.

heimdall can do the same stuff it just has different drivers

Hey everybody. I didn't get any replies in the vibrant section, and I figured it is also an over all samsung product question so here goes. I bought a very messed up samsung galaxy vibrant t959 off a friend for $20 hoping I could fix it. They had flashed a captivate rom to it but I can still manage to get it into download mode. But heres the problem. Odin wont recognize it when I plug it in it just says windows does not recognize device has malfunctioned or something along the lines of that, the bubble shows up over and over every two seconds. I got odin to recognize it once before, but my brother unplugged it XP. Now I can not get odin to recognize it again, any tips? I have a linux computer at my disposal as well if that helps. I am familiar with flashing, odin, android sdk, adb. I know I have drivers installed good because the same cable with the same port and same computer I actually modded this same device before my friend messed it up. Any help at all would be much appreciated.

I would recommend uninstalling and then re-installing your USB drivers and see if Odin will then recognize the phone. Another alternative would be to see if Heimdall recognizes the device and use that to flash the stock ROM to the device. If you are unfamiliar on how to use Heimdall I would recommend taking a look at this guide.

You can try it on Linux I can't guarantee it will make a difference but I would try it anyway. If you are going to try it on Linux make sure you configure USB access for the device correctly in order for the computer to recognize your phone.

Now, I don't know how the underlying hardware works but I'm fairly sure that if ADB and other USB functions work, fastboot should work as well. Any ideas?

ahhh...the famous code 43. The problem with this code is its pretty generic. It could be hardware or could be drivers. Basically what happens is Winblows is having an issue with the device that is connect, in this case your phone. Seen this one to many times. Try rebooting your computer first of all and try again. If you are still getting the try updating the HTC drivers for your phone. If you do this make sure to remove old drivers and then reinstall the new drivers. That should take care of the issue

It does seem to be my computer and not the phone thankfully (works on another PC). I am using Koush's universal drivers and they've previously worked. On the USB 2.0 ports I get the device enumeration failed thing, and in the USB 3.0 ports (different board, uses a Renesas controller) it appears but gives me
This device cannot start. (Code 10)

I've tried reinstalling the drivers and no dice. I can't use the HTC drivers since I'm on Windows 8.1
I guess worst case I'll just patch it through to an XP virtual machine or something.
