Hi all ,
I have a Samsung 7 Edge and my computer is Linux Mint. I am following the instructions from here:
https://doc.e.foundation/devices/hero2lte/install
I got to this step:
sudo heimdall flash --RECOVERY twrp-3.4.0-0-hero2lte.img --no-reboot
[sudo] password for david2:
Heimdall v1.4.2
…and I got this output:

… but I saw no blue bar on my device as described in the instructions. My device appears to not have registered any event at all as a result of the above command.
My phone says, in order:
ODIN MODE (high speed) (in red)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G935U (in white)
CURRENT BINRAY Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
FAP LOCK : OFF
WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (in brown)
…some more numbers in brown which may ID my phone individually, then…
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE (in blue)
SECURE CHECK FAIL: recovery (in red)
then a big download arrow beneath which are the words
Downloading…
Do not turn off target
Then a little white graphics which looks like an unblinking cursor.
Nothing on my phone has changed in 15 minutes so I have to believe something went wrong.
You have to explain it to me like I am five I’m afraid because I don’t do Android development or custom ROMs at all. I am a Java programmer if that helps.
