Sh…T
I always go back to the wrong recovery mode…
Another way to install twrp ?
it is not software dependent,
but Samsung specificity…
it is button timing dependent.

Heimdall : https://doc.e.foundation/support-topics/install-heimdall
Im gonna try again tomorrow…
Get the correct move !
little questions :
- is there a “home” button on the j6+ ? or not ?
- does Odin4linux reboot the phone automaticly after flashing ? or you have to rebbot manually ?
- did you unplugged the cable when trying to reboot to recovery ?
No home and no bixby button…
Yes l unplug the phone fast and hit down + power
When phone goes black l switch to up + power
(To get to the download mode l need to plug the phone then press up + down + power)
It is very fast as l paste [quote=“piero, post:49, topic:65923”]
twrp_3.3.1-1_J610x_28719.tar
[/quote]
As soon as l press enter the phone goes to reboot
I try unplug and all the rest but maybe l am not fast enough yet…
here i am not sure to understand, as the command is :
output must be something like :
cate@cate-1011PX:~/Downloads/Samsung$ ./odin4 -a twrp_3.3.1-1_J610x_28719.tar
Check file : twrp_3.3.1-1_J610x_28719.tar
/dev/bus/usb/002/007
/dev/bus/usb/002/007
Setup Connection
initializeConnection
Receive PIT Info
success getpit
Upload Binaries
recovery.img
Close Connection
I copy paste the command
Press enter
Phone goes black
I unplug
I grab phone thas already starting booting Samsung J6+
Press down + power
Phone goes black
Switch fast to up + power witch for my phone seems do be leading to recovery mode
But its Samsung recovery that comes on screen and not twrp…
so, already too late…
.
your terminal was opened from a folder that contains
twrp_3.3.1-1_J610x_28719.tar AND odin4 files ?

Honestly l cant remember what the output was but it wasnt that…
Ok so thas somewhere to look tomorrow…
Do you mean l had to open another terminal ?
I think you had me copied odin in the folder where the teminal was …
After that l downloaded twrp and e/os in the same folder l think…
i have tested it flashing recovery and I haven’t been able to reboot to recovery either.
SO,
Odin4linux was great to flash Samsung firmware, but to flash TWRP, you will need Heimdall and its “no-reboot” feature…
.
Download Heimdall : Heimdall-linux-master-012220 from The Mupppets.
extract it, open a terminal from the new folder, and run :
cp heimdall /usr/local/bin
.
Now take the twrp_3.3.1-1_J610x_28719.tar and extract it, open a terminal from the new folder, and run :
heimdall flash --RECOVERY twrp_3.3.1-1_J610x_28719.img --no-reboot
.
…NOW COMES THE CRUTIAL STEP !..
- To get out of the Download mode you must Force Power Off your Samsung device,
unplug the device,
hold Volume Down + Power.
release when you see the screen turn off…
…IT IS THE CRUTIAL STEP !..
- immediately Boot to Recovery before any other boot mode attempt,
hold Volume up + Home + Power.
release Power when you see the very little blue line in the top of the screen…
…IT WAS THE CRUTIAL STEP !..
.
good luck !
Hello
Im getting this
cate@cate-1011PX:~/Downloads/Samsung/Heimdall-linux-master-012220$ cp heimdall /usr/local/bin
cp: cannot create regular file ‘/usr/local/bin/heimdall’: Permission denied
cate@cate-1011PX:~/Downloads/Samsung/Heimdall-linux-master-012220$
why a denied access ?
Is on the root filesystem.
So the copy would have to be done as root. Maybe add sudo in front of the command.
sudo cp heimdall /usr/local/bin

Once you have heimdall installed, the install page (or maybe some other device install page) should include two commands to test heimdall.
Please can you find them first. One is to request heimdall version, the other is to request print pit from the device. Note what I written is not the actual commands … this will ensure that heimdall is ok.

You can take a copy of the Heimdall file and put it in the folder where “twrp_3.3.1-1_J610x_28719.img” is stored,
then, from this folder you can open a terminal and run :
./heimdall version
v 1.4.2
./heimdall print-pit
The device should reboot to system, let it boot,
Then reboot to download mode and run :
./heimdall flash --RECOVERY twrp_3.3.1-1_J610x_28719.img --no-reboot

Strange how you are not running commands suggested by @piero or me.
Good luck.
