Odin Fail with VMWare Fusion on Mac: The below worked for me

This post is late to this thread: Wanted to share what worked for me for

Verizon SCH-I545 Samsung Galaxy S4

:

* Used

Windows 7

on

VMWare Fusion 7.0.1

on

MacBook Air

; Odin 3.09

* Experienced same Odin failure for "system.img.ext4" during process; this fixed it.

* Change Fusion USB Settings: Close Windows but not Fusion. Go to "Fusion Settings/USB & Bluetooth". Go to "Advanced USB options" and select "USB Compatibility" USB 1.1.

* Restart Fusion and restart Windows.

* I used TAR file "I545VRUFNC5_I545VZWFNC5_I545VRUFNC5_HOME.tar.md5" inside downloadable file "I545VRUFNC5_I545VZWFNC5_VZW" which was downloaded from URL: sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SCH-I545

* Note: I joined this website for 1 week to take advantage of faster download speeds. I tried without joining and the download timed out before the download was completed. Speed was much faster with membership.

* Prep phone for download by pressing 3-buttons "Power-Home-Volume Down". Note: Be sure to hold down the "Volume Down" portion of the button and not the complete Volume button. Press Volume Up when prompted on screen by the phone.

* Start Odin 3.0.9

* Plug in phone using USB cable that came with phone. Other cables may work - but I don't know.

* Odin will indicate that the phone was "Added"

* Be sure to select in Odin the Options "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time". Select "AP" and go to file to add: "I545VRUFNC5_I545VZWFNC5_I545VRUFNC5_HOME.tar.md5"

* Adding this file takes a few seconds. Once added click "Start"

* The process seemed to take quite a bit of time, likely due to it being a USB 1.1 but it eventually took.

* Once it "Passed" in Odin the phone was on the red Verizon screen for about 3 minutes and then indicated it was updating the apps

* Once apps were updated the phone was in startup mode

* It worked fine and was back to normal.

* Close Windows, and reset Fusion USB settings back to USB 2.0.

* Note: I use USB 2.0 settings in Fusion as Windows 7 doesn't recognize USB 3.0 and Windows (in Windows Explorer) has difficulties, when USB 3.0 is selected, recognizing many connected USB devices even though Fusion indicates these devices are connected.

Hope this works. Thanks to the many folks on this thread and in this forum who assisted me in determining a solution.

Just got my new Samsung Smart Dock Multimedia Hub: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009KZ3XE6/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And boy is it SWEET. Got a logitech K400 wireless keyboard with touch pad, plugged the dongle into the usb port and plugged in an HDMI cable to my audio video reciever, and now I have a 55" HD monitor.

Read this for more info: http://landoftechnology.com/2013/samsung-galaxy-s4-s3-note-2-smart-dock-review/

I will CHROOT a Linux image and use my new Galaxy Note 3 as my new computer!!

It comes with a 2amp charger just like the one that came with our phone. And it is compatible with the Galaxy Note 3:

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-S20JWEGSTA-reviews

Hope this helps any one who is looking for a way to dock, charge their phone, mirror their screen. and listen to music on their home theater all with just one device. Well, two counting the keyboard.

This smart dock is really cool, here is another demo of it getting hooked up with a KMV cable:

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] OMG-FFS:
The one in your link is for the N2 and S3-S4. One new feature the N3 came out with is the USB 3.0.

I'm waiting for Sammy to come out with a dedicated dock for the N3 to take advantage of the higher speeds, that is if you want to set it up as your new desktop computer with mouse/keyboard, HDMI monitor and an external HDD hooked up to it... I'll wait. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tdgillihan:
The one in the link is for the GN3 as well if you check.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Samsung doesn't seem to be in any hurry to come out with ANY accessories for the GN3, let alone a dock that is going to be pretty much the same as this one. The 3.0 usb is only faster for smaller files. There's been a couple of guys on the forums who have run some tests. I personally have found it a little faster for some things, but overall, not much. With my set up and an SSD, I'm not waiting for anything at all when I'm working on it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] unitea:
how functional would a touch screen monitor be if it were hooked up with this?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
It is for n3 also. You're not benefitting much from the usb3. I'd rather wait for 64bit phones to come out and mature some before I start using a desktop dock.

sent from my sm-9005.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tdgillihan:
It should work fine, but I don't have one so I can't test it to see. By connecting the keyboard with a mouse it automatically switches the interface to the mouse instead of the phones touch screen, so It may or may not see the touch screen feature of the monitor. I would just take it to someplace like Best Buy and test it first if I were you.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] unholyfatman:
OP can you post pics with the note 3 in the dock I want to see how well it sits and I have the Spigen slim armor do you think I'll be able to dock the device with the case on or will I have to take it off everytime
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] OMG-FFS:
Right, it's compatible with the N3, but it doesn't mean it was made for it.

So you think the end user would benefit more (see the actual speed increase) from the 64 bit computing rather than transfer speeds increase from using the USB 3.0? I'm sure the dock station mean for a light home use (internet, documents, multimedia, etc, not sure about gaming with this setup) and not for the 3D modeling and such? I honestly can't say that I was blown away from switching to 64 bit home PC and notebook, the noticeable difference on a phone would be even less.

:confused: Thinking about it, can't even say I'd see the benefits of USB 3.0 as I don't (and won't be) copying files between the phone memory and the external storage. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tdgillihan:
I'll try to get you some pics this weekend. It should fit with your case. I have the Poetic Invictus (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EXA6WY6/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) on mine and it fits with room to spare. The GN3 sits just a little bit to the left in the stand due to the location of the USB 2 connection, but it is very slight and barely noticable, imo.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] unholyfatman:
I'm a bit concerned that case seems' significantly thinner than mine but the pics will be much appreciated It will allow me to make an informed decision and have you done the HDMI connection to a TV is there an issue with it or is everything on the dock working properly I saw the video about the KMV switcher where he forced landscape but the sizing issue is of concern I'll probably have to bite the bullet on that one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tdgillihan:
Everything works perfectly. I watch full screen HD movies on my home theater system all the time. And the dock automatically switches the view on the HDMI connected peripheral to landscape. as long as you have daydream toggled off in display and desk home screen display toggled on in accessory. You should also set HDMI audio output to surround if you have a home theater system.

You don't need KMV switcher.

I get my movies from Showbox. Due to XDA policies, I can't post the apk for it here, but you can just Google it to download and install.

I am not getting 1080p

When I hook up the dock to the monitor it is giving me 1280x720. Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mcmaster81:
Hello... I would buy this dock. But a question. Why have the note3 so a different usb-connector.. Micro-usb +??? My Orginal Samsung otg cable works. My non Samsung Orginal mhl-hdmi cable works. What or for What is this connector.. Another little help please. Cover and dock works together i read, is this right? I use Orginal Samsung s view Cover.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] papabear:
Gn3 has a usb3.0 connector. Standard 2.0 micro USB works fine
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] karlichon:
I'm really disappointed with the smart dock.

There is a lag of half a second between the action and the display on the TV screen, It's impossible to play any games in theses conditions.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] R2D2_NZ:
Sounds like something wrong with your setup. There are a number of vids on YouTube showing the SmartDock in action, including one by XDA member NZTechFreak, demonstrating outstanding response - certainly no sign of "half a second" lag.

PM him and he may be able to offer you advice on getting it to work correctly.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ahmadjaj:
This smart dock is really very nice .....
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] evolutionqy7:
There is lag from the MHL connection to the TV. I've an aftermarket MHL to HDMI cable and Samsungs own MHL connection, both which have a lag on TV screen compared to what is actually happening on the device.

Fine for Movies and Stuff, but completely unsuitable for gaming.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] R2D2_NZ:
See NZtechfreak's YouTube vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hy3wETf5o0 here.

He plays games with the SmartDock and his PS3 controller, so "completely unsuitable for gaming" is a bit of an exaggeration.

And nobody said there was no lag. I questioned the previous poster's "half second" lag experience. The lag through the dock is closer to a tenth of a second, as is clearly visible the clip.

If that's unacceptable to you, then your choice is clear - don't get one. And not everybody plans on gaming. For me, the ability to stream Netflix to my TV justifies the SmartDock's existence.

R2
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
The lag is more than a tenth of a second. More like around a third which is unsuitable for twitch type games. Fine for playing RPGs. Bad for super Mario bros.

sent from my sm-9005.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] R2D2_NZ:
I just did a frame by frame of NZtechfreak's video, and the lag is 2 frames at 25 fps (0.080 secs) - that's a hair's breadth less than one tenth of a second, and significantly shorter than a third of a second (0.333 secs). So the lag you're experiencing is clearly more than triple NZtechfreak's. Something specific to your setup, I'd suggest although not as bad as the other poster's half-second issue.

So at the risk of repeating myself, if NZtechfreak's SmartDock is not showing the extra lag that yours is, then I'd be looking to something other than the SmartDock being the issue.

Then again, even a few milliseconds of lag seems to bug some people, so YMMV.

HTH.

R2
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] karlichon:
Hi,

I've got one for 6 months. I can say that it's impossible to play any game with this dock due to the half a second lag.

I can add that keyboarding or use the mouse to clic on links or littles things is a nightmare.

Why do you think there isn't so mutch chinese clones of this product on the web ? There is a big technical problem, that's clear for me.

It's better to buy an android TV box for the same price : same functions, same price, problem less
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] R2D2_NZ:
[Facepalm]

Did you even bother to look at the clip I linked to? Count the lag frames for yourself. If you have a half second lag, then you have issues other than the SmartDock.

And on that clip, NZtechfreak plays two games happily.

So it's not the SmartDock.

Again, watch the clip.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] chriskader:
Some TVs (I have a vizio) have a game setting get on them that modifies the refresh rate and actually fixes this issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
Lol. My bad. For some reason when I posted in this thread I was thinking about the Samsung wireless thingamajiggy. The Samsung dock which I don't own but have played with more is about the latency you tested. ~ 1/10th second. Laggier than touchscreen itself but far faster than the wireless doohickey. Now adding a wireless controller into the mix adds another 1/20-1/10th of a second thus still making my statement true. I do use mhl occasionally and the lag is there too. That approximately 1/5th with a wireless Bluetooth controller or ps3 controller makes twitch gaming frustrating. The Samsung wireless is completely unusable. Even playing a RPG over wireless is unbearable because the lag is easily perceptible.

If people are having problems with mhl or Samsung dock then I would have to venture their video processor on monitor is slow and/or they are using a LCD which tends to lag a lot more than plasma and especially CRT screens. You can find threads with more detailed info about this effect on audio video forums like avsforum. Just in case anybody was wondering.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stargatesg1:
By any chance this dock works with the SView cover? I would hate to take it down everytime I use the dock...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] R2D2_NZ:
Just to clarify, I wasn't doubting your experience of unacceptable lag (or that of the other fellow either), just making the point that SmartDock's actual lag is inherently far less than that which you both experienced.

A buddy of mine is so sensitive to input lag that he's stopped using his iPad entirely. Luckily, few of us suffer from that level of sensitivity.

BTW, I couldn't get the AllShare Cast wireless hub thing to work with the note 3 at all. Returned it.

R2
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] @rbiter:
The note 3 input latency is good. Real good. Definitely noticed it before reports came out that it was best of class at it's time. Probably why some people think android still lags. And it will get better with art as I noticed a slight difference on moto x. The jit sucks but google and OEM's have done quite well with it so far and eagerly anticipate it. The HTC one m8 didn't seem to be faster than note 3 but OTOH it had some craptacular bloat loaded for the demo. Clearing the ram didn't help much either. Hopefully wireless mirroring will improve greatly in the near future. Controllers and other input devices need to improve also. Like Nintendo wavebird latency. That controller was awesome. Wish the ps3 controller with sixaxis was as fast.

As far as all share cast not working were you rooted by chance? Isn't there limitations with wireless mirroring when rooted?

sent from my sm-9005.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] R2D2_NZ:
Yup. And yup. I wasn't aware of that when I bought the AllShare and it was disappointing to learn that Sammy has chosen to cripple the Note 3 in that way. Moved on now though.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueFox721:

I don't have the SView, but the user guide that comes with the SmartDock says it fits. Maybe try it on somebody else's unit before you part with the cash.

No audio?

There's something not right with my dock.

When I have the 2A Note3 charger and (brand new) HDMI cable connected, if I plug the phone in, I get picture but no audio.

If I leave the phone in and unplug the charger and play a song, music comes from the phone. As soon as I plug the charger back in, there's a millisecond of music from my TV then it the audio vanishes again.

I can plug the same cable in to my laptop and get sound through the TV.

So I have the Samsung hdmi-mhl cable, does not require separate power cable to be plugged in to use with note 3, only the hdmi and it mirrors to my tv. Question is, with the dock do I have to have the USB power supply plugged in to mirror or does the hdmi cable alone allow the phone to mirror to my tv?

Tried posting this in Q/A but got no replies, maybe this is more appropiate section....

Scrapbook is super usefull but it would even better with a PC companion App that would allow scrapbooking directly from the PC that is running a dedicated app and that would also sync the scrapbook on the PC with the scrapbook on the Note.

I do about 70% of my surfing on the PC and 30% on the note, so it would be a great way to keep a central store of misc info and also an easy way to transfer from PC to/from Note.

I know there are probably apps like Evernote that could do this but the easyness of scrapbook and its integration to Air Command make scrapbook a better alternative IMHO
