Today i wanted to update my phone from cynaogenmod to a recent lineageos. It followed this guide jfltexx/install, but when i tried to "heimdall flash --RECOVERY ...", the blue progress bar on the phone got to ~99% - then heimdall crashed:
Code:
...
Downloading device's PIT file...
PIT file download successful.
Uploading RECOVERY
100%libusb: error [udev_hotplug_event] ignoring udev action bind
ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!
ERROR: RECOVERY upload failed!
Ending session...
ERROR: Failed to send end session packet!
Releasing device interface...
Because at that point nothing would change anymore, i unplugged the phone and rebooted. Since then the phone won't boot android anymore and reports "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." when booting to recovery mode. Download mode is still accessible, but worthless:
Flashing the original ROM fails with "Complete(Write) operation failed": imgur
Flashing it with a PIT i found on this forum doesn't work either: imgur
Is my phone completely lost? Is there something i can do?

Hello,
Please follow my Guides. I recommend you to follow the guide "clean install from scratch" and also use Odin. Everything you need it's on my thread and in my collection.
Issue Resolved
The solution was to use a shorter USB cable. Thank you so much for making me not loose my faith!

Hi,
Do you havee the option in heimdall to NOT reboot?
Go into the ROM,then , power off and try to get into CWM.
When you power on,hold power +volume up button
When you see the blue writing,press and let go volume down button only.
Also , try a different CWM.
problem solved
When you see the Samsung logo, keep holding down Volume Up and Center Home buttons but let go of the Power button.
I did not know this...
So first off I have the SM-N900V (Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - Verizon) [hltevzw]
Currently following the instructions over on the CyanogenMod website, and have ran into a problem while trying to flash the PhilZ Touch Recovery. I have tried to flash with Odin-on almost every version-and have failed every time. So I took the path with Heimdall, and got the farthest. This was the process I took:
1) Power off device and boot into download mode (Volume down + Home + Power).
2) Plug in device and open command window in folder location (Where the recover.img is).
3) Run this command: heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img --no-reboot
4) This is the outcome:
Initializing connection...

Claiming interface...
Setting up interface...
Initializing protocol...
Protocol initialization successful.

1) Does the phone need to be rooted?
2) Any reason why it is failing the send a request?
Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Firstly, the Verizon model is bootloader locked and there is no unlock. You cannot use custom recoveries or kernels. Secondly, heimdall doesn't work if you're on 4.4 or higher for some reason.
Sent from my leanKernel 3.7 powered stock 4.4.2 (NF4) SM-N900T
I flashed a rom last night, but it froze before it was complete. The problem is I flashed a firmware zip that included stock recovery. I'm now stuck in download mode or stock recovery. I have backups that I can restore, but I'm unable to get heimdall to restore twrp recovery.
The phone is detected. I found a Pit file KLTE_USA_VZW.Pit I did not check the repartition check box.
The error I receive is:
ERROR: Failed to send request to end PIT file transfer!
ERROR: Failed to download PIT file!

l used to have a Chromebook and chroot to Linux it was awesome I miss those days but back to your topic
I've never used heimdall but these are what I would tell you
First try to flash using Odin on windows PC on a friends computer
Next try wine on linux and Odin and try to flash
If no go then try
virtual box and put windows iso file on it
I think you can still do trial where you get thirty days before you have to activate
then download Samsung drivers from Samsung's website
then Odin and it may allow you to flash
If none of these work download Verizon upgrade/repair assistant for Samsung devices I think it is only is available for windows PC
I have an SM-T280 that I've been trying to put LineageOS on, so I can use my MicroSD card as app storage. I downloaded TWRP Recovery, used Heimdall to transfer it over... DISASTER! Heimdall says:
Code:

And on the screen of the tablet itself, "Custom Binary(Recovery) Blocked by FRP Lock". Now my phone is stuck in Odin Download Mode (won't turn on or off), I can't find the stock firmware because I don't have the CSC code, and worst of all, Heimdall won't even connect to the tablet anymore. It gives me this error:
Code:
Initialising protocol...
ERROR: Protocol initialisation failed!
Anyone got any ideas?

Just reboot to download mode (before you say you can't, I guarantee you can) then either just install the stock recovery or the whole firmware.
Boot to the OS and enable OEM_UNLOCK.
I suggest in future you read the installation instructions properly.
@OP
Whats the update? Did you manage to install LigeageOS?
I have the same device and want to install another OS for the same reason.
Did you have any luck installing another OS?
Hi all,
I am trying to flash the LoS recovery (and later LoS itself) on my A7 2016 using heimdall on Debian Buster: I enabled the developers settings, activated ADB and "OEM Unlock", but when trying to flash the recovery using heimdall version 1.4.2 it gets stuck here:
[email protected]:/tmp/bla/Heimdall/build/bin# ./heimdall flash --RECOVERY ~mistersixt/Downloads/lineage-17.1-20210529-recovery-a7xelte.img
Heimdall v1.4.2

At this stage the device shows a (new) screen saying "Installation Failure" and "You need to unlock your device to install a custom OS" with some extra text.
Which step did I miss? Any help is welcome!
Kind regards, mistersixt.
