Thank you, archje. I will carry on and give it a go.
No luck I’m afraid.
After step 4 in the Pre for Installation instructions, I enter Boot Mode.
When I insert the USB cable to the phone, nothing happens. The computer doesn’t see the phone. I get this on the phone:
Yes, it tells my my system is up to date.
This Samsung’s (Odin) Download-Modus.
At this point I connect the N9005 to my Windows PC & Samsung Odin3 and install the twrp-3.3.1-0-hlte.img.tar
Am I right in assuming that you work with Linux and Heimdall?
I am using Linux and Heimdall. I have tested Heimdall with ‘heimdall version’ and it seems to work.
When I have the phone running as normal, the Linux PC recognises it via my USB cable.
That means the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) on Linux works correctly?
Yes archje. When I run ‘ADB version’ I get a working response.
P.S.
I appreciate you taking time to help me. This is my first attempt to do this with a phone.
You can do it! Just be patient.
Was your N9005 detected by Heimdall (Heimdall Frontend ~ button “Detect”)?
Did you create the device’s own PIT file und saved it? (Heimdall Frontend ~ button "Save As …)
Heimdall-Frontend (under Utilities tab) just says ‘device-detected’.
I am not sure (don’t understand) about creating pit files. When I run ‘heimdall print-pit’ in the CLI, it shows a USB error.
Sorry @dsimpson, I’m not fit in heimdall on Linux. I just got the error message:
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12
I’ve to think. Usually use the uncomplicated Odin3.

Which Firmware package am I to Flash at this stage? H-Frontend is set to find .tar.gz files whereas I have downloaded .zip files. I have unzipped the files into folders but Frontend does’nt see them. I will look again to see if there are other Download options. I am using Linux Mint.
Hi,
Are you sure of your câble ?
Yes Piero. When I connect directly to the Laptop, Linux (Mint) see the phone. Also, when I use the CLI to run ADB ‘devices’ I get a response. Once I put the phone into ‘Download Mode’, it is at that point I cannot get the laptop and phone to connect.
Do you see “Developer options” ?
Is your device have an USB défaut setting like MTP or SHARE ?
I think you know you have to boot into download mode and THEN connect to the PC.
Do you have built your own Heimdall ? And tried with it ? That’s how i had success with my s7edge and s4mini.
Yes, I do see ‘Developer Options’ and I have set USB Deugging to ON.
I don’t know about MTP os SHARE, but I will have a look.
I haven’t built my own Heimdall - I would have to learn how to do that.
Thank you for helping.
@dsimpson, where and which version of Heimdall did you install?
I’m currently trying out heimdall → v1.4.2 (23.01.2020) and this → instruction manual.
I have looked on my phone and I can see nothing relating to this - even when I connect to my laptop via USB.
