After I have been trying with JODIN with no success the quickest way it was to use wemulator (Parallel Desktop Trial my case) and odin (windows version) after installing KIES fro USB drivers and downloaded CF-Auto-Root-trelte-treltexx-smn910c.tar.md5.
Note 4 SM-N910C rooted.
Easiest (inho) way to do this would be the following:
1. Install Virtual Box (or other VM engine) on Your mac. Make sure You can use host PC usb ports on virtual machine. Not all hypervisors allows that functionality.
2. Get windows installation disk or iso file (can be downloaded from microsoft website , and install windows as a virtual machine (don't worry about activation, You only need it for 10-20 minutes)
3. After installing windows as virtual machine, download samsung usb drivers for mobile phones (You don't need whole Kies stuff). Actually my windows 7, 8 and 10 are installing those drivers automatically and I've had no issues so far.
4. Run Odin on Your virtual windows machine.
Hi was wondering if someone knew what software to use in rooting my note 4 with a macbook, my cellular phone is with Telus. first time doing this so a good guide line would be nice.
Thank you so much

Not so long ago I became linux mint user. Many of the necessary programs and games runs without problems in Wine. But I couldn't connect my galaxy note through wine. So I find another way to connect it with odin through VirtualBox. I wrote a small guide:
- Install VirtualBox.
- Download windows xp or windows 7 ISO image install disc. For example, you can download windows 7 trial 90 day from microsoft.com. If you have a disc with windows installer you can use it. I personally prefer windows xp micro edition (250mb).
- Start VirtualBox. Add virtual machine, choose your ISO image or real CD-ROM if you have disc. Install windows with the recommended settings.
- When the installation is complete, and windows will boot to desktop you will need to install drivers. Connect USB flash with drivers to your virtual machine or create virtual network disc to linux and drag these drivers (mirror1, mirror2) to windows.
- Intall drivers.exe in virtual machine.
- Move odin to your virtual machine same way. And start it.
- Reboot you galaxy note in download mode and connect to usb. Press USB indicator in the bottom menu of virtualbox and choose your samsung connection.
If you are doing everything right you will see this:
You can also try Heimdall. It has linux port.
Kies should work fine same way.
I found humdall to be much more reliable and easier than Odin

This is correct.
Yeah, I prefer Heimdall as well, but thanks for the great guide.

It works but only when the phone is in USB Mass Storage Mode not in Download Mode BTW Heimdall isn't compatible with Galaxy Ace i . . . it's too bad

any idea why?
I have a user who just received a new Samsung Galaxy Note 3. When he tries to plug it into his computer - using a USB3 or USB2 cable - it errors with, "This application has failed to start because Wlanapi.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." The user is running Windows XP x64 sp2 on his desktop.
I've searched around the web finding kb918977, which had the download "WindowsXP-KB918977-v6-x86-ENU.exe". Unfortunately that gives me the old hardware platform error. I've also found some sketchy looking driver download sites, but I'm not much for taking that risk. Is there an XP x64 version of this file somewhere or is my user SOL with his Galaxy Note on that machine?

I'm not sure anyone else will ever have this problem given the age of the OS, but just in case... I was able to get an older version of the Samsung Kies to install. Although Kies 2.5 was not compatible with the Note 3, it did install the driver I needed. Now my user can at least transfer files from his device in Windows Explorer. I downloaded the older version from this site http://www.oldapps.com/samsung_kies.php?system=Windows_XP_x64

And by user... what your reallyyyy trying to say is...
Jokes aside thanks it might help someone else with the same error.

Is there anyone who has the VZW retail S5 and runs Linux Mint? I switched to Linux a week or so ago and can't figure out how to flash firmware or tar files in Linux. I tried VirtualBox with Odin and Kies but neither detects the phone. Heimdall and JOdin3 don't seem to be working either. Besides using a seperate computer with Windows is there any other solution that works? Please let me know, I would like to make a full departure from Windows. I've been searching for a solution but no luck yet.....
Hmmm, no Linux users here willing to help?

First off DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE ODIN FROM A VM. You have a chance of breaking stuff even if you do somehow manage to get it to detect your phone, your only option is heimdall or jodin, and as far as i can tell jodin is just a graphical frontend for heimdall, but heimdall has its own gtk anyway. The main issue with flashing using either is they both require a PIT file which you cant get afaik, so you will need to use comouter with windows on it or install Windows on another partition.

Thanks for the reply. So it looks like I will just use the wifes laptop for Odin. I did get Jodin to detect the phone but sadly there is a problem with Heimdall handeling the large tar files that Samsung uses and the dev doesn't have a fix. I could push the seperate files to the proper partitions via ADB but that's way too risky for me. It was worth asking anyways.

I'm actually running the opposite setup: Win 8.1 Pro host with Linux Mint guest. I would actually recommend this sort of setup. If you've got enough RAM and powerful enough CPU, you should be alright. I've got a Core i5 (2core 4 thread) with 6gb RAM. I've dedicated 3gb RAM and 2 vCPUs (virtual CPUs) to the guest OS. Also, make a shared directory on the Windows host anywhere (mine's in c:\vm\{shared_folder}\) and share it. Then on the guest OS browse the network/host os name/shared folder. This way you can move files back and forth from host to guest.
EDIT: and make sure the network settings for the VM is set to bridged, not NAT. This will place the guest VM on your network just like it were a physical machine.

I have this same setup. Works great.
As far as vb not recognizing your phone, did you go to devices->usb in vb to check mark it to work in the windows guest? Install the drivers in windows? I'm sure you tried this already but have to ask.
I did research and discovered JOdin (equivalent to Odin 3 for windows) I believe.
Just want to request for a step by step guide for MacOS to root the s8?
Better ask than brick my s8, cheers!
Go sell your mac and take a Dell !

You should consider installing Windows under a virtual machine or Bootcamp if you rather boot natively. I haven't checked lately but JOdin isn't maintained and is outdated. You might accidentally brick your phone using it.
install a virtual machine on your Mac. Or use something like Wine. I know it works well on Linux so it should work too on Mac. It allows to run Windows apps on Linux/OSX
Thanks guys
I want to manually update my firmware on my unlocked snapdragon galaxy s20 ultra but only have access to a mac.Is it possible and if so can somebody guide me through the process.I usually odin update on my windows pc.so unfortunately Mac is uncharted territory for me.
Run windows in bootcamp or a VM and do it via Odin. IIRC there's no mac tool for flashing galaxy devices.

What is Heimdall front-end or Jodin I got it to install on the Mac I just can't get the files to be recognized and what is Bootcamp I don't have access to a Windows based laptop.

No idea what Heimdall or Jodin are, but Bootcamp allows you to run full Windows on your Mac. Just download an ISO for it from the Microsoft website and go through the wizard in macOS, creating a partition for your Windows install. You can find more info elsewhere, but this is generally how I run Windows-only software on my Mac, as it literally turns it into a Windows PC.

Sweet Thank you very much.
If you want a regular update, Smart switch works just fine. Did the last update like that and went smoothly
