Hi, i’m trying to install /e/ on a Samsung Galaxy S9.
I’ve read all the instruction but i’m stuck at the beginning with Heimdall.
fab2b@fab-debian:~$ heimdall print-pit --verbose
Heimdall v1.4.2

At first i was using the old version of Heimdall (1.4.0) and thinking it was the problem, apparently it’s not. I’m not an advanced user, so i don’t understand where the problem is now.
I’m on Debian Buster by the way, if it’s help to solve my problem. I’ve compiled myself heimdall with the source code of the git author. ( In your Heimdall documention here, your source code link is obsolete.)
I’m not sure about this either but from looking at the error “libusb: error [op_set_interface] setintf failed error -1 errno 71” I assume that the phone did not even send a response to any of your computer’s requests or there was an error with setting up the interface. So the error happened at a very early stage before flashing could even happen.
Is the bootloader of your phone unlocked (OEM Unlock)?
Do you have usb debugging enabled?
When are you connecting your phone to the computer? You have to switch to download mode before plugging your phone into the computer.
Also try to disconnecting other USB devices which could possibly interfere (not keyboards and mouse but media devices) with heimdall.
Thank you for your concern @exyna and @archje, it was more simple than that … It needed to do it with ‘sudo’, other that it return errors … Sorry, just my mistake
well, i didn’t thougt it needed to but, just in case, i tried and it succeed so … maybe it’s just needed because i build it from source code ? or because i run it from Debian, i don’t know.
By the way i follow step for installing /e/ now, but i didn’t find the “ADB Sideload” on the device side, wich the tutorial ask for, any idea where is that ?
Can you tell me please what PDA code (build version) your current StockROM firmware has? You can find this information in your S9 via > Settings > About phone > Software Information > Build number …
Thank you @archje, your reply was helpful. In fact, there’s a mistake in the steps order in the Documentation :
→ Install /e/ on a Samsung Galaxy S9 - “starlte”
I was stuck in the “patch device” step, this might be next to the TWRP installation…
When you show me how TWRP looks like, it appears to me that there’s something wrong so i tried to install TWRP 1st. When it done, i was able too patch and follow the others instructions and finally complete the installation of /e/ on my device.
Thank you for your time, all of you !
Sorry @0x7C0, i wasn’t home in while du to work. I’m not sure i understand what info you want… on /e/ i didn’t find what’s PDA is …
But there’s the info i can share, hope it help :
