So I used to have an HP and everything went flawlessly, well i broke that and got a awesome deal on a 15" MBP through my school so I bought it because I always wanted one...
I didn't think about if it would be a pita to update my phone etc on a mac.
Im currently running an outdated version of hyperdrive, am i SOL on getting all the new stuff?
I plugged my phone in and downloaded keys so i could move some files and stuff around on it and it said there was a new firmware update as well.
Im so lost... I just want to upgrade my phone to the newest firmware and hyperdrive. Can someone point me in the right direction and where to download the installers I'm going to need?

In short,
-you need to install samsung drivers .. (http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads#Cell Phones)
- if you want to flash stuff back onto your phone, which is what i am assuming you want to do, make sure to update JAVA .. then go here (https://builds.casual-dev.com/jodin3/).. its a web interface of ODIN.. you can even download the JAVA file too.

You need to run Windows on a mac in order to have access to the programs you need like Odin. Im using an iMac and I recently installed Parallels. It works beautifully! Its actually running Windows as a Mac application. You can drag and drop files between OS's effortlessly. And it was all free since I got Parallels and a copy of Windows 8.1 from Pirate Bay.

False. JOdin works perfectly fine and I did it on my Macbook Pro with no problems.

I never said JOdin didn't work. And from my understanding, JOdin cant flash large files like complete firmwares (Stock Roms).

Oh my apologies.. that may be true.. I have never done it but I was under the impression that it could. So in that case you will most likely have to use Parallels

I ran into the same problem and received DOC files from Blueant which helped (they weren't perfect). I've attached a zip file of the doc file for you to try. Just unzip and take a look-see.
hmm
thanks for the doc. is my device supposed to be auto installing the software when i connect it holding down the vol + button?..i think this is whats causing my problem bc im still unable to properly install this upgrade
ugh
im beginning to think that this software isnt comp. with x64 bit systems..lol
Once you get it right (Device Manager, etc.), it auto-installs after running the EXE from your PC. 64-bit Vista might be a gotcha. While Blueant takes a couple days to respond via email, they have been fairly thorough, at least with me. You might be better served by calling them.
I'm running Vista 32-bit, but following the Vista instructions on their site I was able to get mine set up to update without a problem. Not sure if it's different for x64 though.

Well, during my initial firmware upgrade, I was getting a BFU mode error. "Firmware upgrade could not be controlled. The device may still be processing a previous request." Their response was to provide me with that doc, stating that it was different from what was found on the web. Maybe they updated the web instructions or you had someone looking over you...
Hey guys,
Reviewed alot of the posts here, but can't find out what the status is with the native functionality of cell modem access on Win 7...
I just got Windows 7 Pro installed (it isn't the beta, or hacked, it's retail), Everything is working (touchscreen, aero, etc...) with the exception of the native cell modem internet sharing.
I do know there is a hack by using the USB tool to get it working, however I'm just curious if anyone has it working the proper way as intended by HTC?
I'm noticing there are no devices missing drivers in the device manager, the HTC control app works fine, and even can control the modem on the snapvue side of things...
But there is still no "virtual" network adapater inside of the Network adapters on the system...
Scratch that...
I'm a tool. My shift has been sitting for 6 months after not being used until today when I decided to upgrade...
Totally forgot the virtual adapter only shows when no other connections are present...
Everything is working now
Hi!
How did you get the TS to work?
I've been trying to get the touchscreen to work with the latest W7 but no soceess. I've followed the guide on XDA and all tips on XDA but no sucess.
Could you maybe write down how you did even if it was just a regular installation? I've reinstalled and all but the ts just won't work!

To be honest, I was an idiot and had a horrible install... Here's what I did if you dare try..
1. Install all the drivers (NOT using compatibility mode and "Run as Admin")
Only a few things worked, it was horrible...
2. Re-installed ALL the drivers, using the list that HTC recomends. Keep in mind that the device manager will show some of the devices as not working, after you install all the drivers in Compatibility mode, along with "Run as admin". Go to the Device manager, and right click on all the problemtic devices and select "Uninstall".
3. Restart the computer, then Aero will start bluescreening and crashing. Boot into safemode (with networking). Go to the device manager and disable both Video card adapater shown.
4. restart and go to Intel's website and download the latest Chipset INF installer, and Video drivers for windows 7. Install the Chipset INI first, then video drivers...
5. At this point I can't remember but I thinnk the touchscreen didn't work. I just ran the Touchscreen installer one last time, and BANG it worked...
Sorry for my horrible instructions, it was a messy install, but everything is working for me now.
Thanks!
I't looks similar to how i've been fooling around with my shift.
Well, at least it's gratifying to know that i may get it to work if keep messing with it

Hi just have a quick question: When you upgraded your vista to Win 7, do you used the upgraded disk or start from the OEM win 7?
I actually didn't upgrade.
I used a Open Business Volume disc I have that was issued to my company. I guess it's the same thing as a retail copy.
I did a fresh install.

Thanks! It is OEM Disk. And one more think are you install the Win 7 pro or the ultimate? Thanks again. I really appreciate your help.
I could be wrong, but I think I did Win 7 Pro
Thanks again...I will try to install win7 pro on mine. I think 7 ultimate for Shift is too much coz the processor itself is only 800Mhz.
How do I update my vega from v 1.06.5 to v 1.08 on a Mac?
I don't want a windows solution like boot camp etc.
Any ideas please?
Mate i could only do it by getting Parallels 2 for my mac, then putting windows XP on it. Fairly painless process pretty much does it all for you... if you've got 2 screens its ace to have mac and xp side by side! just means you can just bob straight to the website and get the .exe and install it

I was just hoping to leave windows behind forever
Maybe I will invest - I do have some software laying around from my windows days that could be put to use
Thanks
you can also try the mcr r8 rom (available at modaco)
it's an enhanced version of stock 1.08, comes with a 1 click install script for windows, linux, and mac, and doesn't require any specific base-rom to be installed first.
all it needs is USB-debugging mode working.

This is how i ended up doing it but i needed the official rom as a base because i wasn't flashing 1.08 as at the time it wasn't out
Same, same. I updated to the latest MCR
I have looked everywhere I can think of for a solution but haven't had success yet. I would REALLY like to use my Macbook Pro to root my new Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 but no guide I've found has been very detailed or even successful. Anyone know how to REALLY do this?

Its basically the same procedure as a pc but we use Heimdall instead of Odin. Theres even a gui frontend for Heimdall in case you dont like playing with the command line. Macs are flaky when it comes to anything to do with Android though, whether its rooting/flashing, compiling or even file transferring. I gave up and just installed Windows with Bootcamp to make it easier.

I tried Heimdall and the error I kept getting was annoying and people say to try using older releases of Heimdall until it works but it never did. Kept saying some XML file was missin from the Odin TAR and when I extracted the image file from the tar it said that the TAR file size was incorrect or something. I've avoided soon boot camp because I don't have a very large HDD my MacBook (but ssd's sure are fast!!). Maybe I'll just use an external for the windows partition. How reliable was using windows while in boot camp? Get many lookups, memory dumps or driver issues?

So far Win8 is fine and im on a first gen Mac Pro from 2006. I had to install 7 first and upgrade it since Apple doesn't support it yet. I dont think you can run it from an external though. It wouldnt even install for me until I pulled all my drives out but the boot disk. You can also try a virtual machine like VMWare fusion or Parallels. Ive also had good luck using Crossover but ive never tried Odin with it.

Greetings,
I have a rooted GN3 via a friend. I am using a MAC Book and I was wondering is there a way I can download the application that can root using a mac?
thanks!
I think you meant OSX, not iOS, but I don't believe there is a method.

You still have to be in Windows, but I did root on my MacBook Pro. If you are able to get a VM (or Boot Camp install) of Windows on your computer, you can use that. It is exactly the same procedure (Root de la Vega for MI9 or K***o for MJ7). Just make sure that for a VM you set the SCH-N900V device to automatically connect to the Windows VM instead of the host so there are no troubles when the device reboots.
I rooted with Vega the night it was released (I believe I had the first confirmation besides designated testers), updated to MJ7 in Kies, rerooted with K***o, and did some framework-res.apk mods all in a Windows 8.1 VM with no issues.
See i knew that

I knew all these problems will be imminent when I bought an AIR, this is why I boot camped it from day 1. The windows portion is strictly for hacking.

I only have a Mac, and use Parallels desktop and it works perfectly. It will take a little time to get it set up, but you won't regret it. I can run Windows, Ubuntu, even Android... It can all be had for free, PM me if you want more specifics.

Great info. I soft bricked my Note 3 last week by trying to flash Odin image using a VMWare virtualized instance of Windows 7 on my MacBook. I was able to fix using a dedicated Windows machine, but wasn't sure what the culprit was. Sounds like the key is to check the setting in VMWare to auto connect to Windows. Thanks for the tip!

I just got a Note 3. Has anyone come up with a root method for Mac yet?
