Captivate and a Hackintosh

Hey guys...I have a spare PC that I just converted to a Hackintosh. Everything went flawless with the install of OSX, but when I plug my Captivate in, it forces OSX to tell me I need to power it off and power it back on. I've tried this multiple times. I've even set the phone to have USB debugging on, and the same problem continues. Anyone have a suggestion?

Hmmmm
Ive never herd of this problem. It could be because its a hackintosh. I have a macbook pro and the captivate connects and does everything perfect. If you used a custom rom on the phone that can be an issue. It could be a bad flash. If you have stock then im not sure what the problem could be.
Sorry hope you fix this problem!

Probably not going to be much help but I have a hackintosh and my phone and PC play nice together
OSX is telling you the phone needs to be rebooted? Am I understanding that right? I can fiddle around and see if some settings make mine do the same thing

Are you using a pure vanilla untouched OS X build, or one of those crappy thrown together modded kernel deals.
Used to triple boot Windows, Linux, and OS X on my laptop before it fell off a table.

if you're running a vanilla build then it should work but you probably aren't. what version of OSX and what distro are you using? I suggest posting over at insanelymac since this is most likely a hackintosh issue.

How did you make your hackintosh? Feel free to PM me.

google can be your best friend.

I have no PC. I use XP with Parallels and Bootcamp, and It still is very finicky. Never had a Hackintoch but the newer Macs are Intel. Not sure where I'm going with this, but, yeah.

i dont have any problems with my captivate and my hackintosh. using the vanilla kernel.

Thanks for all the replies everyone. Here's the rundown:
I installed OSX directly following this guide:
http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/04/iboot-multibeast-install-mac-os-x-on.html
I am running Cognition 3.04 on my phone. And the minute I plug the phone into USB, this is what I see on the screen. This is not my computer, but it's an image I found on google images, but that's the exact error. I guess it's a kernel panic.

Doesn't matter if I have USB debugging on, or not. I've pretty much exhausted everything I can think of at this point, unless someone else has a suggestion. On my Windows computer, the phone is seen just fine btw...not sure what the problem could be.

"Telling me to reboot" and "kernel panic" are two very different things.
Now it's definitely a problem for these guys:
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/

Yeah, I posted a thread right on TonyMac's website too and they had no clue as to why that happened. Thanks for the link Mike. I'll check it out with them and see what they suggest.

From the Heimdall ( http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/ ) FAQ:
What platforms does Heimdall run on?
Linux, OS X and Windows (XP, Vista, 7 etc.)
Although Heimdall runs on OS X all Galaxy S devices tested thus far contain a bug in the secondary boot loader that prevents the device registering itself with OS X. This may change if Samsung release an updated secondary boot loader.
Update: Samsung have released an updated secondary bootloader that corrects the issue. The correct bootloader is included in the official Froyo release. Obviously you have to get Froyo on your device somehow, but from then on it’s smooth sailing.
Note: Keep in mind if the version of Froyo you’re running is not official then the updated Sbl.bin may not have been included.

Hrm, you may have something there. I'll flash back to stock tonight and see if the Captivate works after that.

Unable to start Transformer (Sleep of Death) after Update 3.2.1

Hi,
as many Users i also had problems with the "Sleep of Death", but till now i could restart it with long pressing the power button. After updating to 3.2.1 the SOD did not appear for a while but then it came back twice and now i cannot restart. Neither with long pressing power button nor with the combination power+volume. Battery was fully charged and i also tried it with charging cable.
Does anybody have an idea how?

Just get Asus to fix/replace it man.
Dont wait for the warranty to run out...

SOD is caused by the stock kernel. The only way to make sure it doesn't happen again is by flashing in custom kernel like clemsyn.

Yeah but I've seen reports of "Stock" TF doing this so there's no way for them to change kernels.
Like stated, send to Asus

What messages?

i never rooted or flashed a tablet pc but as i remember doing it on my former htc hd2 i have to start the bootloader, waiting for message that usb connection is established and so on.
so i'm wondering how i can flash the TF, especially since i cannot establish a connection. at least the asus pc suite does not find it.

after reading and following your linked instructions - thx for that - i now installed ASUS Sync, ADB Driver, APX Driver, Root Toolkit but i don't understand how i should activate ADB connection without using the UI on the TF....because of black screen.

No need. You should be in apx mode when you use the 7.1 version.

rootkit asks if the pad is in APX-mode, what i suspect because the hardware-manager shows a running "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery Driver for mobile devices".
so i tried to make a backup only with rootkit but nothing apparently happens for more than 30 minutes. i only see what you can see in the attached screenshot. if a close CMD-window rootkit shows "Error! Could not load bootloader".

Can you confirm which ug802 you started with ?? There are quite a few different ones out there it seems. Ive had mine for 3 weeks now, it seems to be the latest version as it came preloaded with JellyBean.

Thank you. I did try translate, but it says something like "Brush Application" so I had no idea what it was. Anyway, I tried it - still can't get my UG802 device to root. I've tried at least 3-4 different ways, this latest incarnation of UG802 seems to have a real problem with rooting.

Root with this software works
I can confirm this method. It works. Though i do not speak Chinese i could also install some kind of Google Play / Android market. Experimenting at the moment.

It didn't work for me. There are different UG802 incarnations, mine appears real "root resistant."

[Q] Urgent Help

Hi Guys,
Have literally spent 8 hours trying to fix this damn phone, it's my mothers which needs a complete wipe using the stock rom. Even my younger brother had a go for a week and has been passed on to me. Not touched an Android phone in about two years so very rusty with the whole roms and flashing etc.
The main issue is I can't get Windows 8.1 to see the phone in USB wether it be plugged directly in Android, USB debug, bootloader or Fastboot USB. I have installed ADB with all the drivers, tried multiple HTC drivers and HTC Sync, PDAnet, AMD chipset drivers, USB controller drivers, random drivers from here on XDA as well as a multitude of other sites. Tried USB 3.0 and 2.0 (front and back slots).
How am I supposed to flash a custom recovery without the computer seeing the phone? If I can just get that sorted I am pretty much set with getting the stock rom on there and the rest. Not sure what my brother has put on it or if he has flashed a custom rom or changed the radio/boot because I have no clue what the phone is supposed to be running.
Please some help here, don't really want to be spending more time on this.
Details:

I'm not sure how to help you, because i don't even know, if your phone boots to OS or not.
There are some apps out like flashify or TWRP Manager which should be able to flash a recovery from OS, but i never used that tools and don't know, if they work with One SV.
You should really get your fastboot working. I don't have windows 8(.1), but there are many threads here on xda about that.
Other solution could be to search for someone with a windows 7 pc.

Yes the phone does boot into the OS but again is not properly recognized, PDAnet and HTC Sync find the phone but doesn't show up or in ADB. I have checked well over 30 threads on here regarding Windows 8.1, downloading various tools and drivers etc without success.
Will check out those links.
Thanks.

Going back to stock ROM

Hi everyone. Could someone please direct me to a guide for going back to the stock firmware? I have been looking everywhere with no luck at all.
Thanks!

All required downloads are in the guide.
The Mi Flash Tool will lock the bootloader, by default, after flashing. If you don't want to do this, then change the option at the bottom of the tool before flashing (step 5)
If you wish to lock the bootloader, you must make sure the ROM region matches the phone, i.e. global ROM on a global phone.

However, I'm having a lot of trouble with the tool. It will not recognize my phone. I connect it, and the computer detects the phone. Then I click on "refresh" on the tool, and automatically the USB device is disconnected from the computer and the tool will not recognize it.
I have installed the Qualcomm and ADB drivers, rebooted and nothing changes.

Sounds like a dodgy USB connection.
Try using the best USB cable you can find. If that doesn't work, try using a different computer. Fastboot and adb are very sensitive to the quality of the USB connection.
My old laptop will happily connect normally to my phone and I can transfer files with no issues, but from about a year ago I can no longer use adb and fastboot, with similar problems you are seeing. Using the same phone and cable I have no issues with my wife's laptop.
