Do you mean you want to download ROMs off XDA and move them from your Mac to your phone, then flash ROM? If you want to move files from Mac to phone use Airdroid on Wifi. No better choice.
Edit: sorry you want an Odin like tool, not sure about that sorry.

Unfortunately, the only other option is to try using a VM. I am in the same boat. You may want to comment on the issue I created on the Heimdall github https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/issues/203
The more information that can be gained the better.
Parallels are way better than vm i have tried vm many time.. on my note 3 i got error while flashing through odin..
then i install parallels and it really worked nice...
for transfer your data you can use android file transfer on mac.. jss google android file transfer...

There have been several people that have been looking for a Mac solution to flashing their Epic back to stock. I've not personally tried using this software, but I think it's worth a shot for you Mac users. It's called Heimdall and can be found here:
http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
Apparently it will work on any Galaxy S phone. It also may be worth trying for those of you that can't get Odin to work for you on your PC.
Thanks to drakkahn and n0esc for finding this.
i am very interested in knowing whether or not this will work, as odin is a *****

This works fine. There's, like, three posts here in this section alone on the program. I use it, on Linux, and it works great. It's more reliable and quicker than Odin, too.
It's not for the feint of heart, though. It's a command-line based.
EDIT: Oh, look, the thread started by the dev who works on it... >.>

I've softbricked my phone just following this guide over here: http://nasirtech.blogspot.com/2014/05/n9005vjuend1-android-442-kitkat.html
After following that, just after trying to root the phone bricked and would restart anymore. So far i have followed different guides like:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2627291
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2628435&page=8
But it seems to happen the same thing over and over. The flash just fails every time even if i flash only the pit, only the AP and so on. I've used odin 3.06 and 3.07 and the stock firmware that used to come with the phone (N9005VJUEND1), the phone is unlocked and is the one that has written 4G at the back.
The info behind the battery is:
Model: SM-N9005
FCC ID: A3LSMN9005
SSN: -N9005GSMH
And says that is made in korea. Also is a 32GB version.
What is important to mention is that i'm doing all of this in VMWare at a macbook. Don't know if this actually hurts the process but it shouldn't.
Does anybody has been through something similar?, please all help is needed
Good you mentioned u r using vm in mac, otherwise sort out your problem will be longer, bro use windows pc or partition in your mac threw bootcamp will do the job.

Or parallels. The problem is the usb drivers in vmware. Parallels works perfectly.

I will try with parallels.. if that doesn't work i will try with a windows pc.
Confirmed,
VMWare have issues with samsung driver, if you have a mac you can flash your international n9005 with parallels. DON'T USE VMWARE.
Ok, flashed successfully, but now the phone has no sound, the camera doesn't works and the dial panel doesn't work either. I'm trying to do a flash and then open it in recovery mode so i can do a full wipe. But even after doing the full wipe doesn't have any sound or camera. Any pointers with this?, i'm flashing it with aN9005VJUEND1_N9005UUBENC1_N9005VJUENC1 from Chile.
any help with this could be amazing. I've installed now CWM 6.0.4.7. With it i've installed bobcat 9.0 and same thing. Only a little faster. But still laggy, no sound, no camera and no dialer. Now i'm installing HAWKISH elite serie version N9005ZHUENE6. I will tell you later how i'm going with it.
---- edit ----
Nope, still the same, no sound. It's kind of desperating to still don't have nothing working. Please give me some pointers. Almost tryed everything.
New info, the 4g works, wifi works, is just the camera and the sound. Also it reboot's sometimes. Very anoying.
Finally i delivered it to the samsung service. It seems that i damaged the bootloader for what they are telling me and that's the reason why i had trouble with the keyboard, sound and dial.
So no more playing with the phone for now . Or use a windows to make the flashes. Any comments on this?
So, is working now??

Hi,
Do any of you guys know if I can get my i9505 back to stock only using mobile odin?
I don't have a Windows PC to use odin with as I use linux so was wondering if I could revert this way, I'm currently rooted running CM11

I think I used it to root it originally but have a faint recollection of it being a complete ballache
I'll go with that then, I was hoping to be able to do it before I got home from work today but I suppose I'll have a crack with heimdal
Thanks breh!

Sorry i could not be more helpful, the only thing i know for sure mobile odin is very sketchy and is not a reliable as the pc format, i would not use it for flashing a full rom
Good luck
Good point
I am using a Mac, and I have always used heimdall with no issues on my S4.
I am running into a lot of issues with my S5.
What is the best solution for Mac users to flash recoveries.to their device these days?
Also what is best recovery for S5 currently. It seems latest TWRP is very buggy.
I also found Heimdall to be a major pain in the backside on the S5.
I ended up using Odin and PhilZ CWM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706253)
Check the github, theres a few forks that people have said make it work on the s5, havent personally been able to try them since i havent had to reflash, but if you get it working let us know.

Yep, sadly heimdall is not 'officially' supported for S5> which does my head in. I mean, surely a Linux based OS should be better than windows for working with android?! But, no, that isn't the case at all...
So how are guys on Macs doing it? Odin is just for PC...
Ive seen a lot of people on macs do it in a VM, its finnicky at best though and i dont think it even works on linux, didnt for me at least. Like i said, check the github for heimdall, theres some issues that refrence some pull requests you can try.

Has anyone had any luck flashing CWM or TWRP for this model phone? It looks like it isn't compatible, but just wanted to check. I got my phone rooted (finally), thanks to Aboman . I am kind of concerned about using Odin on my laptop to backup my entire phone, because it is external to the device. I am hoping that I can get some more info on how to ensure I backup my device properly before attempting to add Xposed and other programs. Has anyone had luck with this? I already have used Android SDK to backup my system (I think). Has anyone used this method before? I also have Flashfire Installed and have been searching for more information on shortfalls of backing up using the different methods or even which is best and what is not necessary to backup. I want to take as many steps as I can to prevent any issues, as I need my phone for work, but I still want to get the virtual gyroscope installed and working (along with some other apps I have found on my journey to this point) in order to play apps that require a gyroscope. ((MOST DO! WHO KNEW?!)). Any help would be greatly appreciated. >_<
THANKS

The link gives me a 503 and, judging by the text there, I need to know Linux commands. I am willing to learn, but I am sure something this complicated will take more than a noob knowledge of the language. I have NGINX, but don't yet have the Win10 Linux addon and, thus don't have Ubuntu (yet). I haven't looked at NGINX and got it as supporting software for a program I needed off of GitHub. If you could send me another link, it would be appreciated, so that I can at least take a look and see if it is something I could handle.
TYVM for your post.

Nope u dont need any skills of programming to create a cwm recovery from that website when u open it u just need to add your recovery.img file and other files of your device. Click generate and it will create one for your device.. I have tested it on my brothers phonr and it created a cwm recovery for it. That website is specially created for new people.
Maybe try another browser. Or changing your proxy settings.

The link you sent was just a bit off. I Googled it and found it without issue. Thanks for the link. The only thing I am concerned about is my phone being a Samsung and having TouchWiz. I have heard that Samsungs can get into a boot loop when trying to flash the program.
