I try to install eOS on samsung S9. All goes well includingadb reboot bootloader
but: fastboot devices, doesn’t list my device. Running the tools from Arch Linux (AUR)
edit: My s9 shows: Downloading … Do not turn off target
Fastboot is not the right tool, for samsung device you need Heimdall (linux, macOS) or Odin3 (windows)
Thx, I follow this guide now: Install /e/OS on a Samsung Galaxy S9 - “starlte”

A blue transfer bar will appear on the device showing the recovery being transferred.
I don’t see the blue transfer bar. How do I turn off the device, 7sec power + vol down?
Then I don’t get it in the recovery mode with power+volume up+ bixby
It is a special sequence described here Samsung – first boot into recovery
Success! Thanks!!! …….
