Hello everyone,
can anyone tell me if it's possible to install odin3 v1.85 on mac os x lion 10.7?
and if yes, how to get it?
Thanks
Well, you have two options.
One is to run Odin in a virtual machine running windows within os x, or install windows via boot camp.
Or, you could try Heimdall, an os x compatible app which works like Odin. I have no idea if it works with the S2, though.

i was flashed my phone with the Perception-II-Beta-1 rom and now i cant enter to the recovery or fastboot mode,i need the flash.img of clockwork recovery or like that...to flash the recovery via terminal emulator,please help me.
i only was found the zip archive in the net...
when i try to enter to recovery mode the at&t logo appear and dont change...and when i press power is reboot...
:S when i can say the recovery when the capture program of sdk qtadb...
i was try to flash a zip watching the capture image but,the phone reboot...
Hi, you must be new here. There is no 'fastboot' on galaxy s phones, and you don't need to actually flash clockworkmod. What you need to do is get your phone into download mode and fix it with odin. Take a deep breath and a timeout to peruse the Captivate subforums. There is a wealth of information here about your very problem (particularly the stickied threads).
yes im new here,my old phone was a htc g1...and i was get the captivate on april 23...the problem is that i dont have windows and dont have any way of get it...im using gnu/linux,and odin is only for windows.
pd:sorry my bad english,my national language is the spanish...
That's what you get for being a non-conformist
Anyway, I think there's a linux version called heimdall. Or, you can simply run windows in a virtual machine, or try your luck with wine.

Odin doesn't like virtual desktops. You need to use heimdall on linux or (barf) mac.

i run vmware workstation on my laptop thats running ubuntu. thats the only way i use ODIN...in a VM, unless i'm at work
install a VM?? oh i dont know about that.. my computer is at least 200 times bigger than my phone... i dunno if i can program something that big and complicated.....
*sarcasm* aiming for that 51%
nothink...i cant compile heimdall in fedora...is no any form to do that with the terminal emulator? or some like it...
Wait a second.. did you try to flash Percep 2 without flashing the new 2.3.3 bootloaders? If so, you won't be able to reboot back into recovery until you either use odin to go back to a 2.2 rom and keep your old bootloaders, or use odin to flash the stock JVB with the new bootloaders. Either way, the only solution at this point (if my assumption is correct and you flashed a 2.3 rom without the new bootloaders) is to use odin.
i was resolved my problem with odin how you say thank you ...sorry for the disturb...
Hey decided to use the galaxy s3 one click root tool by adam of xda developrs on my mac so i rooted it was working fine and was about to flash cyanogen mod 10 from rom manager flashed it then leave it for a bit then boom i try to boot my phone and the " you tried to install unauthorized firmware on your device message came up".

I am running osx only and have heimdall installed but dont really know how to use it or what to do i need help please.
Did you unlock the bootloader? Doesn't sound like you did.
Wrong thread.

Launch Windows from bootcamp or use a VM to run it within OSX. Then follow the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030
I'll add OSX and Linux support to the guide once I learn how to use Heimdall,
Hi guys!
I have my sgs4g sitting in my backpack for about 3 months now ever since I soft bricked (i think). Basically after having it stuck on the samsung logo, I got out of it using a One click but now im stuck on a boot loop. I am able to go to Download mode. Sadly I dont have a windows computer (i have OSX) or else this would not be an issue. I have Heimdall front end (clueless on how to use it). It asks for a PIT file to flash but I havent had any luck in finding one OR better yet does anyone know what I can do?
Thanks.
Use the Heimdall One-Click, not the UI-based Heimdall.
(Though, if you are command-line person, $ heimdall flash --kernel path/to/boot.img generally works quite well.)
Thank you for your response!
I havent found an OSX friendly one-click. all the ones Ive found are windows.
eh, I havent used a command-line since I had my G1. BUT ill see what i can do or try to find a windows computer.
The Heimdall is, as I recall, Java-based and runs fine on Mac OS X (and Linux, for that matter).

Hello there ! I'm probably going to flash a new rom or at least recovery.
I'm first time flasher and have one question:
should I use Odin or Heimdall (I've got Windows 7 x64) ?
I've read that Heimdall is more reliable but Odin is best for flashing more things at once.
I want to know what do you think is the best.
Edit: Drivers don't work on Windows (error 10, adb ones are ok), so maybe I'll try Heimdall on linux.
Edit 2: I've booted into bootloader, then connected the phone and it worked.
Hello!
While I prefer Heimdall (which is free software, has native Linux support and supports both command-line and graphical interfaces), both apps were reliably flashing my S6310. I think that it’s not a problem to flash many partitions at once using Heimdall, but AFAIK it doesn’t support Odin’s .tar.md5 files.
Okay so I recently tried downgrading my Lg G3 using the flash tool. It got to 94% then it was unable to recognize the drivers. I realized i was using Upgrade dl instead of board dl and now I get a mini os load screen and factory reset status 2. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
I only ever got this working with an lg g4 by using Linux and installing a package (not from google) I've since returned that phone, however.

What kind of package?
I think there is a Linux implementation of Adb in the package manager on debian distributions. As I recall, that's where I think I got it from. The windows Adb drivers never worked for me.
eta: it actually is from android studios
