I have installed Windows in VirtualBox in Ubuntu.
Unfortunately I am not able to access USB ports from Windows within VirtualBox so that I can run ODIN.
Has anyone had success with something like this?
Mod Edit : not development related CLOSED ask such questions in the Q & A thread its a STIKY

I had to post in the Q&A since i'm a newb here, but my transformer is bricked, and i tried the unbricking method seen in the development thread and I keep getting stalled at "waiting for bootloader to initilize"
does anybody know how i can fix this and get a stock rom on my transformer incase i need to rma it.
I am also running VMware as i do not have a windows pc at the moment, so i don't know if that has anything to do with it.
Any help is much appriciated, thank you.
Not sure, but does VMware support USB devices?
it does, or at least it shows apx mode when it's plugged in. I may need to just try it on an actual windows computer though :/
EDIT: for some reason it worked right after i posted that. I didn't really do anything different, htc-hd2 is just good luck i guess!
Running VMWare on what machine? A Mac ?
Can't you dualboot Windows 7 with BootCamp ?
I dont have a mac, just going on what I have heard
VMware is probably your problem. Boot up a Linux live CD and run this: Stock Honeycomb 3.2 (Actually if you have a mac you can run this too, just run extract the archive and run the bash script from the terminal)
It's a tar ball that I put together that contains the files needed to flash a stock image of 3.2 via nvflash. The archive is about 300mb IIRC.
Hello everybody,
I could not find any other experiences so far so I'd like to confirm that if someone is trying to use livesuit under WinXP running in a virtual machine in Virtualbox it works perfectly.
Just connect the tablet and then enable the new USB device in Virtualbox, and Windows will pick it up.
The only thing to take care of is that when the tablet is connected, a new hardware wizard comes up. At this point you need to MANUALLY install the drivers in the wizard TWICE before livesuit picks up the tablet.
If someone is having trouble I'd be happy to help.
I'm trying to do this a WinXP virtual machine inside of Mac OS X. Managed to install the drivers once but, virtualbox drops it quickly from the list of usb devices before livesuit can ask me if I want to flash the img
Any help would be appreciated. Sorry if this is a MacOSX specific problem but wondering if you ran into the same problem.

I just wanted to start this thread for anyone who needs help with the s3 on linux whether its mounting sd/mtp or help with heimdall. I use Arch linux and let me tell you mtp is a pain in the butt, I ended up having to use a ftp server, and for my sd card I use a root ap called SG USB MASS STORAGE ENABLER by Mohhamad Abu-Garbeyyeh.

I'm using Ubuntu but there's no way I'm playing with my phone on it - I have a Windows partition just for that sort of thing. Maybe if it weren't my daily driver, I'd be willing to give it a shot but, while I use Linux for just about everything, it's just easier to have a Windows partition for some things. This being one of them.
Hats off to you though - takes guts (& knowledge) I don't have!
Need to be on stock. Doesn't work without stock.

A couple of things I have found:
1. While MTP did not work with my Mint 15 system and stock android 4.1.2 on my phone, once I rooted, unlocked the bootloader, and installed cyanogenmod, it worked like a charm.
Before, when I plugged in my phone, I would get multiple error windows saying the MTP system wasn't available. I had to use windows (yuck!) and odin to get root and unlock the bootloader (although I did not try the virtualbox windows until after I had done this). I installed the most recent version of cyanogenmod and now the Mint system recognizes the MTP just fine. No error windows or anything.
2. I was able to get a virtualbox windows machine to recognize the phone, although it required different usb filters for download mode and for typical mtp.
This required going into download mode, selecting the appropriate filter in virtualbox, unplugging the phone, booting up the virtual machine and then replugging the phone. After this, odin recognized the phone. I did not attempt to flash anything further, though, since I had already done so from a windows system.
I think Ubuntu ships with mtp and its libraries now
I used to use arch Linux. Such a fun distro. Then work started using a TS gateway and it started become too much a hassle. Installed Windows 8, no longer fighting the system :screwy:

What do you mean you have a windows partition? I have a laptop that's quad booted with Windows 7, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Pear OS 8. I want to take Windows out of the picture but I need it for things like this. Could you give me more details on this like does it act like a windows system? It'd be much appreciated.

I would like to say that I am not a developer or anything. I am having problems using adb commands on my computer (windows 8). It is a problem with drivers and such that the computer doesn't recognize the phone when in recovery. The same setup works on my windows vista desktop. I know many people have problems with drivers working on windows 8 and i was just wondering what version of windows is the easiest to work with?

Windows 7 is the best option for me. But there is still a problem, the driver never work with the driver for windows phone 8.
Hi,
I tried to install Samsung drivers (to be able to connect my Galaxy J5 J500FN) on windows 7 or windows 10 in virtualbox (Linux host).
None of my attempts works, I always have an error 'code 10': 'device cannot start.'
Virtualbox recognize the USB device, but not windows.
I took 2 days on duckduckgo and such, try many ways, but nothing work !
Any clue ?

What the reason you need to use Windows?
Have a look HERE
Thanks, but I tried to test Jodin (no need a full live-cd), just a tool like Odin.
But the links are in error http://goo.im/devs/AdamOutler/JOdin3 from xda post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../live-iso-adb-fastboot-driver-issues-t3526755
Nice, found a working link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=20803
Tried jodin, but that's not as reliable and simple as the windows Odin3. So I installed Odin on a old EEEPC in windows7, and I'm happy again.
