Easy installer problem S9

S9 doen not boot in E recovery but in Samsung recovery.
It seems to install E/os, easy installer says it’s done, but the phone said it’s aborted.
I did excactly what the easy installer said.

log file far too large to post it here, so I posted the part with the download error message:

This section of log only really tells us

Failed to detect compatible download-mode device.

in the preceding section of the log you are likely to see

waiting for recovery

Then, if my guess is right, Recovery is found but Easy Installer cannot work with Android recovery.

Edit later OK … from the full log … this is not what I expected !

Easy Installer Samsung users fail to boot into TWRP – #2678

Your first boot into TWRP

I have installed 5 S9 so far without problems.
This time no “e recovery” but Android recovery.

When I choose apply update from ADB easy installer goes further and says e/os should be loading now,
you should see the e logo.
But the phone is stuck and can only be resetted to stock android factory mode

Please can you show the contents of

Edit, 24 hours later. I had not previously wanted to include a guess or speculation but I cannot explain how Easy Installer moves on at the point

ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12

If

heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery-e-latest-q-starlte.img --no-reboot

were to fail I would expect Easy Installer to fail / close.

Perhaps someone else can offer a more informed opinion.

As this is a long log with, I think, 230 matches for

ERROR: Failed to detect compatible download-mode device.

It might be worth checking the Odin mode screen for any clues of some lock still applied.
