I have a macbook pro and I hate the fact that I have to rely on a windows computer to flash my phone with Odin. Do we have any alternative for Odin in mac?
What all do we need to do in order to use the odin for mac so that I can flash my Galaxy Note 4 N910G?
Need help!!
I also have Macbook. I used Heimdall but I'm really sorry to the dev but it's not like Odin at all. I ended up installing Windows to use Odin
I have this problem.
To get around it, I used parallels desktop and installed Windows inside that, then when you plug in your phone through usb, it asks if you want it sent to osx or Windows virtual system. Then open odin and it should pop up as normal as if you were running a Windows PC good this helps

I think I have finally done it....
I can get my phone to download mode but neither ODIN or Heimdall see the phone.
Its weird that I can boot in to recovery and at that point ODIN will see the device, it appears as COM, but it will not see it in download mode.
any ideas?
If i get can in Download mode, it can be fixed.
Get the Drivers.
If your using a 2.3.3 rom get Nexus S drivers.
Install them, then try it.
if not, try on a different computer, more preferably a windows XP (idk why it just always works for me on my old XP)
I had the same issue. U need windows 7. Vista nor xp never worked for me on any oc but 7 did
to be certain, download/install the drivers

exact opposite with mine.
Windows 7 never worked (until now-a-days since i bought a brand new computer)
XP worked always, and still does.
I'm trying to follow the "Retail 3.1 CWM Recovery, Root..." instructions from the dev forum and have hit a big roadbump. I'm trying to install CWM and root using XP via Parallels from my iMac (which I've read others have done before) but for some reason XP is not recognizing the APX device (and the device is indeed in APX mode because a pop up comes up on the Mac). The other odd thing is that when the tab isn't in APX mode, it connects just fine in Windows, and I can even access it through adb. I'm hoping maybe someone has a tip or trick on how I can get Windows to recognize the device in APX mode so that I can then point it in the direction of the proper drivers, and eventually flash CWM. Any ideas?!?!
anybody?
Ugh...
Hmm, now I've connected and apparently successfully flashed CWM...but when I go to reboot to recovery via ADB, it just sits at that huge battery graphic on the black background. WTF
I could never get windows xp running in vmware (on a windows 7 x64 box) to recognize my tab.
I downloaded an official Samsung 4.4.2 ROM from SamMobile, it is the correct version for my I9505 etc etc.
When I put my phone in DL mode, jump into Odin, and try to flash, Odin hangs at "Get PIT for mapping..." and never gets any further. I can restart my phone etc no worries, but I just can't upgrade.
I'm running Windows 8.1, is this the issue?
Any help would be great.
EDIT: I believe this issue is that I was plugged in through a USB hub, not direct to my PC. Admins/Mods can I suggest leaving this thread to possibly help others in the future?
Try it on other Pc
Maybe the problem with USB Port, Maybe with windows 8
If you have Kies installed, check the task manager for Kies process and End it
I suggest you use Odin on Pc Running windows 7
Plugging in direct to the PC fixed it. Seems it was the USB hub.
Had already checked Kies. Thanks for the tips.
So I updated all my devices to Windows 10 (PC, Laptop, Surface) and now I can't connect my note 4 to any of them while in windows, the connection was working good on win 8.1 but on win 10 just nope. I tried using different cables (including the original) and ports and always get the error "This USB Device has malfunctioned" (or nothing at all) and I have been on many different ROMs including android 5.0.1/5.0.2 TW, AOSP 5.1 and TW 5.1 so as I can't manage to fix it on my own would like to ask if anyone else is experiencing this and if anyone managed to fix it?
Also I do know that the USB connection is actually working as I have tested it on a Win 8.0 PC and it does work in Ubuntu on both my PC and Laptop. And I did install kies and even did a full wipe and re-install on my laptop (because I managed to break all the partitions somehow).
And an other question: is there any way to flash something to the device in Linux as for some reason even Odin doesn't see the device in download mode?
hmm sounds wired as i am on windows 10 too and i dont have any problems what so ever. I do not have kies and will never use that ****. I have the drivers installed. try uninstalling the kies bloatware and then get the drivers only and try.
If that dont work then i would say try and find a pc with win 8.1 and flash stock rom and try and see if that will work on win 10. Maybe try and use logcat and see what is going wrong when connecting. Also try installing ADB on pc and see if you can pull logs that way...

Thank you but I installed kies only after I saw I couldn't connect and nope, adb does not connect also but I did pull logs in terminal emulator when both connecting to ubuntu and win 10 and they look exactly the same (except ofc some messages from apps) so probably the phone does the exact same thing but the Windiws OS just fails to connect for some reason.
The thing is I don't have a win8.1/older I could use to flash cause everyone in my familty did the exact same thing, I also need to flash the 5.1.1 bootloader and am stuck cause of the exact same reason.
Any other ideas?
Ask a friend to use there pc someone must have win 8.1 or win7 or a risky thing is use Linux and use odin via wine. If you can't figure it out go to your nearest phone repair shop.
I've installed all samsung drivers that i can download. tried different versions of odin but it dosent work.
Kies3 dosent detect the phone either.
what should I do?
is it that im using Windows 10 on my PC?
need help here.
my phone is rooted by kingroot.
P.S. I know how to flash samsung firmwares.
Try running in Windows 7 compatibility mode (right click, properties),
On Windows 7 myself so not really sure but I get sone successes with comparability at work.
Try using Smart Switch instead. Can be found on samsung page, as well with drivers you need. Here's a link with drivers and software for multiple phones:
