Heimdall on Mac OS X Returns the error "Failed to detect compatible device"

So...

Windows GS3Toolkit fails to see it

Windows Kies fails to see it

Windows 7 OS fails to recognize it

Windows adb fails to see it

Linux adb fails to see it

Mac OS X heimdall fails to see it

Mac OS X adb fails to see it

My conclusion: For some reason, my phone is reporting itself incorrectly, with a potentially damaged usb port on the phone.

Solution A: Try to JTAG myself. (NOT RECOMMENDED) Pros: Learning. Cons: Too much to buy and ugh. F that noise.

Solution B: Send to someone to JTAG it for me. Pros: Fast, easy (for me) Cons: $60

Solution C: Sell the phone. Pros: Potentially less cost (through loss) Cons: Time to sell and buy, jockey for prices, potentially lose my ass.

Solution D: Do nothing. Pros: No more loss, no more work, maybe something will come through. Cons: bricked phone

Is there a way to do this? I'm running the newest version of twrp and can't find the option to only restore the data. The reason I wanna do so is so that I can flash a new rom and then flash all my previous data so that I dont have to install them all individually again.

Yes there is a way but please do not do this. If u restore data collected while using your old ROM on your new ROM, you will break things.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Aimless Rambler:
I've suggested this before to folks. One solution is to save the apps you want to keep to an external sd card then re-install post flash or another solution is to get familiar with the Android Kitchen. I regularly tailor Roms to suit my needs (network settings/media files etc ) including to make available certain apps I want for use from the get go (Root Explorer, etc) using it. There's a few extra steps to add/take away desired apps but it's relatively easy. Read the thread below (see link) and thank/donate to dsixda.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
For simple modding (like modding images, etc.) then you don't have to deodex... but for advanced modding of SystemUI.apk (like smali editing, xml editing, etc.) then its better if you will deodex it...

And yes if you decide to deodex more than one or two apks/files then its better to deodex all the files and apks in the "system/app" and "system/framework" folder..

But yeah, if you only want to deodex SystemUI then just copy/paste its .apk and .odex files and deodex it using any tools like DSIXDA's kitchen and simply pushing it to your system/app folder... just make sure you have a backup though - incase of bootloops :)

tried it several times some months ago. allways the same error as yours. than i read the first post of opd and autopatcher thread. there you can find the solution. -> "it isn't possible to patch quarx's roms yet". tezets is based on quarx's defy rom.

if you want to use opd, you have to use engle_mars's cm10.1. he patched directly the source, cause autopatcher didn't do this job as well.

you mean autopatcher works with engle_mars's cm10.1 ?

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielcbit:
I'm running Hashcode's CM10.1 ([06/03] release) in my Kindle Fire HD 7" and despite the great performance and stability I saw that several apps that use location, crash almost instantly after opening or while getting the current location.

I saw that the CM builds for Kindle Fire HD 7 assume that the Kindle has an internal GPS (It technically has but maybe it not enabled?) and this could be interfering with those location apps that are misbehaving.

Has any one also seen this problem? It is possible to enable the GPS present in Broadcom BCM2076 that provides the Bluetooth functionality of the Kindle HD (and also a dormant GPS functionality) by loading the appropriate kernel module? It there anything else that can be done about this problem?

Thanks!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CVanB:
Well, I know that Bluetooth isn't working yet on that ROM. So the Bluetooth could be interfering with the location services.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielcbit:
I would like to know this also. Is the GPS hardware enabled on those CM10.1 builds?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gflorezarroyo:
No, there's no GPS antena inside the Kindle, so I think CM 10.1 will never enable the internal GPS. But on the other side, assuming there is an internal GPS lets you pair a GPS dongle and make it the location provider, install GPS related apps and run them without limitations. But before that you must set "allow mock locations on" in devs settings.

On a stock Kindle you can do the same by tricking it, but not all GPS related apps will work....
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielcbit:
I thought that gps antenna would be shared from bluetooth's antenna as the same chip controls both functionalities.

I was hoping that KFHD could have it's GPS enabled some how.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stupc:
HI there - I could do with some advice, if anyone can help...

My 6-month old Note 2 suddenly refuses to charge.

I've tried my spare battery, tried different cables, tried a wall charger and tried USB to PC, none of them are working.

Problem started yesterday and I thought I'd sorted it when, turning the phone off and swapping batteries got me charging as normal once again, but the problem has started again this morning and both my normal battery and spare are now dead and won't charge, no matter where I try to charge from.

I have an international N7100 running the latest ParanoidAndroid with the Devil kernel. ANy suggestions what might be causing this?

Oh, and any suggestions for a reliable and reasonably priced repair place in the UK, if that's my only option??

Any advice would be really helpful, thanks!

Best,

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] glitchhawk:
hey all,

does anybody know why we get way less battery life on AOSP then TW? is there some form of default battery saving that TW does that AOSP doesn't have built in? I flash new ROM's constantly (normally every 1-2 weeks) and I always notice a huge difference between the two. I am also using a double size battery btw.

on TW i can use my phone a decent amount all day and have 4G running without ever turning it off. this includes social apps, emails, watching videos, streaming music. at the end of the day i normally have 60~75% battery left.

on AOKP doing the same thing i normally have 30~60% battery left.

I just find it interesting because its so opposite of windows or linux on PC. where the cleaner your OS the better the battery life.

thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
I personally have no idea. My initial thoughts, check your kernel settings for it's governor and clock speeds. It's also possible that AOSP roms you're using have a more widgets running, which can be battery drains.

As far as I knew, 4G used less power than 3G radios. Maybe that was for WiMax. I'm still in the habit of if I don't need it, shut it off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] glitchhawk:
thanks for the answer! i was thinking maybe it had something to do with the kernel too. its weird tho!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
Well, one of the functions of the kernel, at least the custom ones, is power usage. If you change some settings you may be battery life. You could also try a different kernel such a Perseus. I use it with a deoxidized stock MC2 rom. I also know its quite popular; STweaks works well with it.

Hi all. I couldn't find a specific forum for my SII HD LTE (Bell Canada version - i757m) so I'm posting in here with hopes that someone can help me out.

My USB port appears to be toast. The phone will charge, but it not recognized by any computer I plug it in to. I've tested in with Odin on two machines with several cables in download mode, USB debugging mode with the SDK, and mass storage mode. The fact that it won't even get detected in download mode leads me to believe that it's a hardware issue. Is this common?

Edit: Tried to post a link but I'm too much of an XDA posting noob to do so (<10 posts)

Is this the same device / would it be compatible? It's only 10 bucks but I'd like to know if there is anything else I can try or any known issues / fixes for this problem.

Any advice would be great!

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Have you tried to clean the port. That's a problem. Or mobile Odin if you want to flash some thing. Have you tried dif version of Odin?

That's a problem too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darwin604:
I've tried cleaning the port with a clean dry toothbrush as suggested for some other models without any luck. I've also used a version of Odin that I know worked on the phone a month or so ago so there's definitely something wrong on the phone's end of things. Since it's failing to get detected in download mode (before anything is really loaded) I'm almost positive it's a hardware problem - unless there is some obscure software issue that may be causing this.

I'm not using any custom ROMs at the moment and it just stopped working out of the blue.

Fairly certain I'm going to have to replace the actual hardware piece. I looked in it with a flashlight and everything looks clear / contacts are all in-place so I'm guessing something may have fried on the pcb that it's attached to. Possibly a short or something?
