http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27
My problem is i can flash my hermes but not my wizard.
I get MFC application has stopped working.
Anyone point me to why this is happening as when i've searched the results point to doing the above?
Bump
Just a quick bump see if i get lucky?
Im using Windows Server 2008 64bit so vista modem drivers n stuff are no go.I know how manually select the drivers, but windows just says they are incompatible (INCOMPATIBLE, not up-to-date or anything else - windows just says they perhaps arent good for x64 etc even for the 64bit ones).
So here is what i done and what WILL WORK ON ANY SYSTEM - from win 2000 to win server 2008 64bit or windows 7 beta or whatever your using.
Install vmware (i used VMware Workstation 6.0.4 Build 93057)
Install WinXP-SP2/3 on it
make sure the usb device is selected on the top of the vmplayer.
install activesync, sync the phone.
install .NET FRAMEWORK 2.0 OR NEWER
start the ruu wrapper
flash & enjoy.
no need for crappy drivers, just install vmware, flash, uninstall vmware.thats all.
I just found the easiest way ever to upgrade my roms after upgrading to Vista....
Its simple....back up all your files and re-install XP Pro....

No way, I'm not using that buggy crap. MS DOS 6.0 rulezz!!111!!
wot about something even more stable
Can anyone write some basic code and translate the roms to Audio cassette format, hook up a tape drive to the orbit and use my old spectrum?
Simple......
Not as stupid as it sounds
This isn't as bad an idea as it sounds,
1. Install VMWare
2. Create and XP guest machine ensuring to enable USB devices
3. Install Windows XP on the guest
4. Install VMWARE tools on the guest
5. Install Activesync on the guest, reboot the guest to allow it to pickup and install the PocketPC
Thus you have yourself a dedicated machine for mucking about with rom's etc.
I just upgraded my Atremis to WM6 via the VMware guest and it worked perfectly.
note. Getting VMWare running on Vista (esp x64) can be interseting, hunt through forum posts tho and you should get it running ok. (Had to modify the BDC to allow undisgned drivers in my case!)

Er. it was a joke, I update ROM's regularly on Windows Vista with no difficulties, that is way too much trouble.
I'm running Windows 7 x64 on my laptop. Connections to HTC Touch HD...
- I do not use ActiveSync
- Internet Sharing works
- Disk Drive hangs.
I want to browse my HTC Touch HD using Windows x64. Does it need drivers ?
Didn't need any drivers for mine. Just plugged it in and it installed everything it needed itself. Worked on both my laptop and desktop.
Also running Windows 7 (Pro) x64.

syncs on my 64 bit win7
Im using w7 and i dah to install windows mobile device center, u will find it at microsoft homepage..

I have been having problems on XP(not regarding flashing). I am just tired of XP so i was thinking on using Ubuntu. Im going to get to the point now, Is there any software that i can use to flash my phones on linux?
I dont think so really. I have been using linux for a few years and not really seen anything for flashing wm phones. One option i was thinking of was setting up an xp install in a virtual machine and then trying that. I guess you could also try using the windows flashing app via wine but i just havent had time to do this yet.
If you do find a solution please can you report back here as it would be useful to know.
try microSD instead
well actually I am running a Gentoo OS here and tried flashing in XP in virtual machine in VirtualBox, but it did not work for me (after a certain time a timeout occured). From now on I will always flash via microSD card, I have a spare one I can always use for these purposes. Already flashed two different ROMs and works OK, so no need for XP anymore.
Hello folks.
I'm working on custom kernel & ramdisk on Linux and was tired to plug/deplug the phone from my Linux workstation to a Windows netbook to flash it...
..Before I realized that Odin works perfectly well on a XP VM on a Ubuntu 10.4 host / Linux 2.6.35.2 !
Big bonus of this setup is that the software virtual USB switch allow you to plug/deplug the phone without touching any hardware.
Odin re-discover the phone and you can flash next millisecond
PS : this has maybe already has been reported, but I know few people who thought it did not work.
I never had any issues flashing my old Hermes through a VM XP machine on my hackingtosh back in the day, as long as I selected the correct USB port to stop OSX trying to grab hold of it.
Not quite "off topic" but thought it would put a few minds at rest

VMWare 3 on a Mac, no go for Odin. Can't get the USB to hold onto the phone, only device I ever had trouble with.
Gonna try VB...

I thought that Vmware was better than VirtualBox for USB tweaks, maybe this is history !
Tell us aware of your tests on Mac
In download mode, SGS appears as Gadget Serial [021B] in VirutalBox.
Pretty good news, I should really clean the dust off my XP virtual machine!
Is Samsung Kies working too?
VMWare 7 in Ubuntu is fine too...

Thanks for your feedback! I replaced VMWare with VirtualBox many years ago and this kind of issues was the main reason, you should stick to VirtualBox!
Can someone tell me how to prevent my mac to grab my phone on usb? I always get an error from my virtualbox, thay device is used by someone else.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Can't get the Galaxy S i9000 to connect to VirtualBox either.
I select Gadget Serial, it waits a minute or so, then pops up this error message:
Failed to attach the USB device Unknown device to the virtual machine XP.
Could not find a USB device with uuid (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx).
Callee RC: NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057)

After that, sometimes the phone still appears as available to connect, others it doesn't. Very similar to the VMWare problem.
This is on my Late 2009 MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. Doesn't matter which USB port I select. I might try a powered hub in between the phone and the laptop. Connecting the SGS to the laptop USB is always a bit of hit and miss for both adb sessions and even mounting the sdcards. I frequently have to unlplug and replug the phone to get a connection. I've seen a few others report the same.
Must be an issue with OS X itself, but to make sure I'll have to try this on my Mac Pro desktop.
I'll report back any success, but I'm not hopeful, I've yet to read a report of someone successfully using Odin in a vm on a Mac.
I'll pile on with my test results. Thus far, under Mac OS X 10.6.4, I have not successfully connected the Vibrant to a VM USB in any Windows virtual machine with the Samsung USB drivers installed. I tried vmware fusion 3.1.1 and the latest virtualbox, 3.2.8. Both failed to recognize the phone when attempting to mount it. No issues in the Mac host environment or Bootcamp. The problem is limited to the VM environments under the Mac host environment.
If anyone has successfully connected the Vibrant to a Windows virtual machine running under vmware fusion or virtual box for Mac please report your results. I did quite a bit of searching and found no successful results with this combo. Thanks.

Appears to be a lost cause for Mac owners who won't boot camp.

This is exciting.
this thread is definitely NOT what I had hoped to find after trying to use odin under VMWare/Win7 (MBP 2009)
I'll report back if I figure out anything. I've had similar battles with activesync/WMC under VMWare as well, and I've got things playing nice after some tinkering
Was a little worried about using virtual machines to flash my favorite toy, but this thread was the push I needed to give it a shot. Plus, seems like there's a fix to get out of almost any brick you manage to install on your phone, even if you have to build a JIG its not expensive.
So gave it a shot and it worked like a charm, Mint/Ubuntu 10.10 host using Virtualbox. One less reason to ever use Windows 7. Even when I don't boot it Windows breaks, I swear its a scheme to keep people who fix Microsoft products employed......
Supercurio that mean "Odin in Recovery" ? or im think in a false way? to flash tar files in recovery..

Wow, you might become an archaelogist if you managed to bring back this thread from the ashes! We now have Heimdall, which is GNU/Linux native. Give that a shot.
I ever used Odin in a VM of Windows 7 over Ubuntu 11.04.
Heimdall is only for 64bit system and i user a 32bit version.. so...
But..Every flashed i did went good
