The suggestion " Volume Down + Bixby + Power" didn’t work for me. What work was:
adb reboot recovery
then through the menu appearing, select: “reboot to bootloader” or something like that. It gave a configuration that allowed to continue with:
heimdall flash --RECOVERY twrp-x.x.x-x-crownlte.img --no-reboot
and to move on with the rest of the installation.
It’s an interesting turnaround when stuck like described.

When introducing the Note 9, Samsung changed the way to boot into Download mode. Holding Volume Down and Bixby and then connecting the USB adapter to the Note 9 is sufficient - holding “Power” spoils it.
Then the disclaimer has to be accepted.
The message “Downloading, do not turn off target” is fake an can be ignored. The terminal on the computer displays a finished download correct (E.g. Heimdall needed only a few seconds).
When leaving the Download mode to change into Recovery mode, the programmed reboot has to be interrupted. There is really a very small interval, estimated less than two seconds, to hold Volume up, Bixby and Power to reboot into recovery.
Hi
Have tried a full day on installing e/os on the Note 9 Exynos 9810 SM-N960F Dual Sim but it did not work.
Tried the way with the command and the one with Odin. Nothing happens.
Actually, if you are not a specialist it looks impossible to execute. Unfortunately it is too difficult to get through the obstacles being a “simple” user.
How to install heimdall once the suite is downloaded? Nothing happens when clicking on the exe file.
I have uninstalled all samsung single apps/programs/drivers, whatever.
On my side I give up to try e/os and am quite sad about this as I wished getting rid of android. But this OS still has long life ahead.
Luckily the phone is not bricked…
Wishing the best to e/os and its lucky users.
Best

Hi
Thanks for replying.
Indeed I tried those steps and/or solutions.
Honestly it might be an issue of incompetence in this technic on my side.
It does not have any results.
Best
