Is the USB icon on the VirtualBox enabled on the guest OS.

If that's disabled, the USB on the host side will not pass it through the guest, this requires the handset plugged in host side.

It's a small icon on the bottom of the VM window, near the hard disk where it shows blinking activity? Click on that, to enable USB pass-through.

Are you intending to flash the device from within a VM?

  • Yes the icon is flashing @t0mm13b. And yes I do ^^ You got my intention in flashing the device from a VM since the flasing tool(s) available on the internet are full of scary trojan/virus :-(

    @NamG.VU All I can say is, be careful in flashing a handset from within a VM. Sure USB pass through are somewhat better than what it used to be, but there is a risk involved, be better off to flash it from the host instead for better stability in USB commmunications.
