Ok I need to install Odin3 kernel update before I continue the Super Rooter guide however I only see a .exe for this and I'm on a Mac... is there an installer for this on a Mac or a Manual way to do this on a Mac?
I have a MAC as well and it's running WINE which helps PC apps run on the MAC. No luck here. Also no luck getting the virtual machine to recognize the phone over USB.
I had to break out an old W XP laptop to get my phone to connect so I could use ODIN. Well worth it once I got it figured out.
Don't use Odin
There are other ways to restore to a stock build.
ClockworkMod is one: h ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734163

So, I tried to use Parallels (running windows XP) on my Intel Imac to flash a Kaiser Rom onto my AT&T Tilt. I'm currently stuck on the bootloader. I think I did find a solution, but I need to wait 10 minutes til I can download another Rapidshare file. In the meantime . . .
I think I did everything right. HardSPL worked fine, but then, when I tried to flash Dutty's Dual v4 ROM, it stopped at 6% and told me there was a communication error. I tried it a few more times, tried Dutty's Touchflo Rom (that got to 4%) . . . still no luck. Same error. In between each try, I reset using the stylus and sometimes the stylus while holding down power and camera.
Am I doing something wrong, or was my mistake trying to do this via parellels?
Current screen says:
KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.OliPof
CPLD-8
USB
Thanks, guys.
I can confirm that if you install xp via boot camp then you can flash fine on a mac. I haven't tried going through an emulator such as parallels though. It should work fine though as long as parallels has taken over the usb ports.
Yeah, the USB connection wasn't the problem. And, unfortunately, I don't have extra XP licenses lying around to bootcamp. my mac.
Anyone have any idea? I'll give you a cookie . . .
By the way
It is error 262 that I'm getting . . .
I went through bootcamp boot as well, I rather assumed that I was going to need direct access to the hardware rather than the pass through of parallels...
btw you can set up parallels to boot a bootcamp partition... so you can use the direct boot and parallels from the same installation.

I might have to look into that. My "solution" didn't work. I'm going to try to find the original ROM somewhere . . .

I am using Fusion instead of Parallels but this is what I do. I only have 1 copy of xp installed via bootcamp but I can also access it through Fusion.
I also have fusion on my MacBook Pro, and it failed when tried to flash. So I bootcamp and started XP and it flashed flowlessly
If you own original XP CD (like me) you can always call microsoft to activate, and since it is installed in 1 PC then fine (you'll have 1 license for parallel & another for Bootcamp)

Which version of parallels do you have? In version 5160 the usb flashing works fine, in 5582 it is broken, as is in version 5584. They had an special build 5582.5 which allowed me to flash my phone correctly and according to parallels, the "next" version will include those usb fixes.
I'm using the latest version 5584 and when I need to flash my phone, first i shut down windows vm, install parallels 5160 over the current version and then boot up windows. I ignore the installation of parallels tools and just flash my phone. Then shut down windows again, re-install parallels 5584 and all is fine again.
Hope this helps you...
that does. Do you mean the most recent update will work?
edit: never mind. the most recent is 5583. I'll try to find 5160

If you have a valid license for parallels, then you have a valid license to use bootcamp...
That said, I have flashed through parallels and vmware fusion TONS of times (about to do it again, in fact). So long as you've routed the "HIGH GENERIC RNDIS" device to the virtual machine it should work fine.
I posted this in another thread, but created this new one specifically for these users that are having this issue and can't solve it because they don't have access to an XP machine.
I solved my issue late last night. I am running Windows 7 64bit. I saw that a lot of the guys here used XP to run the KDZ flasher and that wasn't an option for me until I installed XP Mode.
XP Mode allows you to run a virtual XP machine inside Windows 7. I was able to run the KDZ flasher in there and successfully flashed the KDZ GB file to my phone.
You do need to flash stock recovery first. I tried unsuccessfully to flash the KDZ with CWM recovery installed. It would not work until I flashed stock recovery.
One other problem I ran into is, in XP Mode, you are "attaching" USB devices to the virtual XP session via a "stub USB driver." For some reason during the KDZ flashing process the USB modem driver for LG kept releasing from my session. What I did to counteract this was manual attach it each time it released. This was easy, but I had to stay on top of it until the flasher finished the job. I have two monitors so I had the "Devices and Printers" window open in Windows 7, and when I heard the ding indicating the USB driver had left the session, and saw the LG devices appear in the Devices and Printers window, I would just click attach on the USB pulldown in the XP session.
I know this sounds a little complex for some (and possibly vague), but once you get into the XP Mode session you will see what I'm talking about.
I hope this helps you guys still stuck on SW Update screen that don't have XP.

The Roms for the p999 and the p990 are not inter changeable. Different frame work.

okay so im on ubuntu 11.10 and cannot get heimdall one click unbrick is not recognising soft brick should im not entirely sure whzt to do because ubuntu wont recognise
Was Ubuntu recognizing your phone before or did you just install Ubuntu to see if you could use the one-click?
well i had ubuntu before hand and yes it recognised it but i only ever connected it to ubuntu one time before this didnt do anything special just trying to 1click unbrick like u said because windows wont see my phone either except as a "USB unrecognised" so not entierly sure what to do ive tried sevral drivers Zedig always says it Failed to install the drivers which is a more recent development it didnt do that before it says resorces already exist
I've only used Ubuntu on rare occasion. I was thinking that with some distributions you have to give permissions on the USB devices before you're allowed to access them. I struggle to think Ubuntu is that way as it's generally user-friendly.
Maybe try grabbing a Live CD of Fedora or SuSE and see if it works?
http://goo.im/devs/zanzibar/LiveCD/PHtoolz-QND.iso this is what im going to use its supposedly set up for phones and stuff like that
okay so that dont work i dont know what to do im on the verge of giving up if anybody out their can help me please do i would like my phone back otherwise i will have to go get a new phone
Do you only have the Linux box? If you have a Windows box or are dual-booting, then you should be able to Heimdall one-click from within Windows.
i am dual booting windows tells me USB not recognised and Heimdall always fails on driver installation
Hey, I managed to brick my Infuse 4G trying to get Entropy's CM9 on it. I flashed it once and it was stuck on the samsung screen like it was suppose to but when I tried to go to CWM, I would get various colors, mostly blue and orange on the top and a big grey spot in the middle. I am trying to get it back to stock but I am having issues getting my computer to recognize that I plugged my phone in, neither Hermidall nor Odin recognize when my phone is plugged in in Download mode. I have downloaded Kies. Any suggestions?
If you had read any of the numerous other posts on this you would find that Kies creates issues so get rid of it and the colors are caused by the Froyo bootloaders on your phone, something that is fixed when you get GB bootloaders.
Watch this video for a how to on installing Heimdall

Use this as a guide to actually installing Heimdall

If you do everthing correctly and completely, it will get you to stock GB.
From there you can go to ICS and then if you want, to JB. Do not skip ICS and try going to JB. Hope this helps.

Thanks for replying. The issue is that my computer and my friend's computer do no realize when I plug it into the computer in Download mode, on the of chance I sucessfully get it into that mode. I have tried with and without the Kies software.

No prob... it can be a process the first time... after that it is a breeze.
Make sure you have the Infuse drivers on your computer (I am assuning you are running windows) here, courtesy of bigjoe2675 are the drivers.

I tried installing the setup file in the driver and the computer still does not recognize my phone.
I have been without Windows OS for a couple of months and will be w/o for another 3 weeks, sorry.
You must uninstall kies and do not have your phone plugged in to the computer during the driver install. If I remember correctly, once you download the zip with the drivers to the computer, you have to extract them and then run the setup. Once that is done, reboot the computer and plug your phone into a usb port on your puter that you know to be working.
Should you go forward and use Heimdall, use the same port each time.
Again, I am assuming you are using Windows. With Linux there is no need to install drivers, it recognizes the phone. With mac- no idea.

Edit: I have been toying with it on Ubuntu and am having the same issue of the computer not recognizing it as far as I can tell. I did get Heimdall working on it.

The only thing you should have to do for Ubuntu to recognize the phone is enable usb debugging in settings on the phone and after that, enable it, most likely from your drop down menu on the phone.
Heimdall will be a .jar file - let me know if you need help getting it to open.

Shame the phone is bricked right now ;/ . Back to my Windows computer. Thanks for trying to help but I think something is busted in my phone that isn't allowing it to tell the computer what it is or something. I don't know. I am going to try my friends computer to see if it is something weird with my own Thanks again for trying to help. If I find a solution, I will post it.
I just wasted a whole night trying to recover my galaxy s4 from a bad flash with odin and vmware on osx 10.8. It kept failing on a system write or something was wrong. I am on a newer mac book air with usb 3.0 drivers and fusion downgraded it to usb 2.0. I found that installing windows 8 and using odin 3.07 to flash my phone worked flawlessly on the first time with fusion 5. Hope this helps someone. Here are some screenies.
Here's another idea.
Step 1: Call a friend with a Windows PC running XP, Vista or Win7.
Step 2: Ask to borrow it.
Step 3: Download appropriate drivers, software.
Step 4: Attempt to fix.
I use a Mac and will never attempt to flash on it. I'll just use my work laptop and get it done without the hassle of VMware, etc.
Doenload parallels 9 and windiws 7 install eindows 7bin parallels then install usb drivrrs for samsung and use odin 3.07 plus that ch root or cw root or whatever its cslled worked fir me first try
