Heimdall error

[kultex]

==============================================================

EDIT: Heimdall works only in SYSTEMD Modehe

if you want to use it via USB Stick you can use the Clonezilla version of my MX-Respin https://community.e.foundation/t/bootab ... ools/47138

==============================================================

I try to flash my Samsung S III i9300 with heimdall, but getting this error - does not matter if I flash it as user or as root:

Code: Select all

root@mx1:/media/demo/JetDrive Go/i9300# heimdall flash --RECOVERY twrp-3.7.0_9-0-i9300.img  --no-reboot
Heimdall v1.4.2

$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 015: ID 04e8:685d Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd GT-I9100 Phone [Galaxy S II] (Download mode)

lsusb shows it as S II - i9100 ?? - I use the fluxbox version

maybe it would help, to create udev rules? I dont really find answers that help on google....

@kultex Your topic is here. Don't ask help questions in package request forums, thanks.

The software error shows it trying to access a device on bus 1, device #14. The output of the lsusb command output shows your phone at device #15.

One would expect an error trying to open a non-existing device.

sorry @Eadwine Rose

and I just tryed it with KDE - same thing

Code: Select all

demo@mx1:~
$ heimdall detect
Device detected
demo@mx1:~
$ heimdall print-pit
Heimdall v1.4.2

the same here on KDE how can I change this?

[kultex]

this is an error of the LIVE USB version - installed everything is fine

I have 2 versions of my MX-Flashing Tools Respin - one normal version and one with snaps - here the respin is installed on the stick and it works

https://community.e.foundation/t/bootab ... ools/47138

it would be cool, to get it also working on the normal ISO - maybe somebody has an idea

[kultex]

Explored it a little bit more:

1) The different device number comes from trying to flash - after each try, the usb device is renumbered to the next number

2) it does also not work on the installed version - here "heimdall print-pid" is working, but when I really want to flash, there is the bus error - see below
