Re: How Many Mac users here?
 
Got a question for you guys. I am running OSX on my MBP with Parallels (WinXP Home 32bit) and am trying to flash a new ROM. My TP2 is connected via USB but is not recognized in Parallels or OSX. Any help/ideas? Thanks!

When you connect it, a prompt should come up on your phone asking how yo want to connect it. There are 2 to 3 settings: ActiveSync, Disk Drive, and sometimes internet sharing if you are on a custom ROM. Touch the circle for ActiveSync. That should set it up to recognize it. Hope that helped

That is one of the first things I disable. I clicked do not ask again when that message 1st popped up on my home PC. How do I re-enable it or get to it? Do I need ActiveSync (or similar) installed on my MBP?

Thanks again!!

As far as syncing goes, I have not been doing any. When flashing roms I download the file, extract it using unrar and just copy the .nbh over to my storage card and flash it from storage.

I may venture in to more things between the two soon, but for now, I'm loving it.

how do you flash from your storage card??? do you download the rom from your mac or a pc???

If you are trying to flash the phone, Parallels will not work. There are some USB issues that don't allow it to function. I ended up installing bootcamp, with a fresh XP install for this exact reason, and then I couldn't get that to work either because the unlocker somehow came to the conclusion that I had used it before, even though I hadn't (it also gave me that message on my girlfriend's PC, so go figure)... So all I can say is good luck...

You will need activesync installed (on the PC side) for this to (possibly) work. I suggest you read all of the unlocker instructions in the sticky in the CDMA upgrades section before you proceed.

To do this go to the following:

Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC

Under here lies the settings for what you asked for. Simply check the box at the bottom. The box read "Ask me first about USB connection type when I connect the device to the PC"

I'm not sure if the settings are the same across the board (6.1, 6.5, Sense 2.1/2.5) but it should be similar
