Ubuntu - Error while flashing latest Samsung phones with Heimdall
By Nicolas Bernaerts

Last week I wanted to flash latest LineageOS 15.1 on a Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 (A500-FU).

So I installed Heimdall from official Ubuntu Xenial repository to do the job. But I encountered errors while trying to flash the recovery. After some googling, I realised that Heimdall in Ubuntu repository is too old and doesn’t handle PIT extraction on latest Samsung smartphones.

In the last 6 years I have flasheda lot of ROMs and I never have used heimdall l, not on Mac and not on Linux. Flashing via adb / fastboot is such easy that every noobe can do. Just do it; )

Fine give us an alternative working…
But most procedures for lineage os or /e/ describe flashing using Heimdall…
As someone encontered problem here, i think it can be usefull for people…
