Hi,
I flashed Litenin (and other custom roms) with Heimdal on Linux flawlessy up to version 1.4 which hangs at boot.
I had to replace factoryfs.img with previous version's one (kernel and modem are from 1.4 still and it works....).
Is it a bug in heimdall or something wrong with Litenin rom 1.4 ?
A factory reset didn't help either, 1.4 can't be installed on my phone, at least not with heimdall.
Ciao
Max
bump !
Nobody using heimdall and litening rom here ?
I have exact the same problem....

Did you solve it ? Flashing with Odin does the trick ?
No.. I dont have access to a win box...
but i think odin should work - another user reported after switching to odin everything was ok....
weird.
I'll try later on unpacking and repacking the factoryfs.img, maybe there's something on it which makes heimdall behava wrong.
Thank you for feedback
Could u resolve the problem?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Nope, unpacking and repacking didn't work either.
It seems that heimdall don't like 1.4 version
OK. thanks for the try...
I could access a windows computer this weekend. Odin worked fine...
I never got Heimdall working. It cant find my phone.
hmmm I did nothing special. What OS u use?
(Ubuntu)
1. I Install libusb-1.0 like described on the official heimdall homepage.
2. Install the heimdall .deb package.
3. put your phone to download mode
4. Start heimdall like: sudo heimdall print-pit
I only used the console edition (1.2.0) - not the gui edition...
For flashing type:
sudo heimdall flash --<partition identifier> <filename>
Lite'ning Rom v1.5 XXKF2
Lite'ning Rom v1.5 XXKF2 has just been released. Has anybody tried flashing the new version via Heimdall?
The link has been removed before I could try it
Yes, I saw that people were having problems with it. When the new version is up we can try it again.
Ok, just flashed Litening v1.5 with heimdall.
Everything worked as expected...
Nice, I'll try it tonight.
I run Ubuntu, but use VirtualBox and USB filtering on a Windows 7 Guest to run things like Odin, I just dont trust the Ubuntu tools for drivers, I find Windows to be more reliable and less likely to brick the phone when flashing.
It works fantastic for me!

I've used the same configuration to flash my SG2. But you do realize that VirtualBox is using the same ubuntu (linux) drivers for usb?
And why do you find windows to be more reliable?

I cant share your opinion. Im working now for more than a year with Android. We have our own android build. And i had much less problems working with Linux (Ubuntu) than with Windows...
Flashed Litening rom 1.5 just fine with Heimdall in Ubuntu 11.04.

You'll need to ruu back to complete stock to fix your issue it's the only fix

i dont mind having to go back to stock, but is there anyway i can do it from my mac?

Might be a more elegant way of doing this, but maybe try dual booting windows? Or google search heimdall which is a mac Odin equivalent. I'm not sure if the stock firmware works with it or not. You should definitely confirm that before attempting to use heimdall.

He's right, try to dual boot windows or ask a buddy to let you use their pc for now just download your ruu and load onto a flashdrive so it can be ready

Cool. SO now either try heimdall for mac http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/, using a friends computer, or dual booting windows to use the appropriate odin method.

I fairly certain heimdall is not confirmed to work with our stock rom yet. I would highly advise against it if at all possible, try to borrow a pc to do it via odin.

Hi There,
After using the search tool on XDA, i've come across two solutions to root my S4 (International version, i9505) on a Mac (OS X). One of them is motochopper. I've installed it, and followed all the instructions. But at the end, i keep getting this line in Terminal where it says "failure" instead of success. When I open Superuser on my device, it keeps saying that i should update. This is also not working.
The other solution was Heimdall. I got the instruction from the site of CyanogenMod. Heimdall keeps crashing here. I removed Kies from my computer and it still doesn't work. I've got no /opt/local/lib on my machine, not even in the hidden files part.
So does anybody know another solution to root my i9505 on a Mac?
Nobody out there with a solution?

Thnx dude, but it's like you didn't even read the OP. Heimdall keeps crashing on my mac, so giving me a download-link to Heimdall aint really a solution.
The second link you gave me: i'm using a mac, as I stated clearly in the OP. Odin is a windows tool.

Yeah dude I'm with you i have heimdall and i never figured out how to root with it i had to use a friends pc / odin to root. Have you researched Motochopper i think its called? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5Sl...yX7yodrOhlI1Tf2tHG_oVH&feature=c4-overview-vl Here is the link. I watched this guy for a while when i was getting into rooting and roms. He explains things pretty good. Hope this helps...Sorry i couldn't help more with Heimdall. Heimdall works great after you get rooted i just don't know how to root with it. Lame i know!!!! lol
Don't ask me how, I installed wrong Rom on my edge 7, as result, no USB connection.
So can't use Oddin to replace ROM and of course can't root.
Also, all rooting app fails, I guess because they recognize it as a different device.
A part of that the device works great, but I can't do any updates and I have a challenge...
Any ideas?

Download a suitable ROM onto the phone internal memory or onto SD card. Flash the ROM via twrp. Giving details of your phone helps too if you want tailored advice.

Nope... Didn't work because not rooted also tried original ROM.
I assume the problem Is not the Rom but the bootloader or whatever is the similar for pc operating system.
Phone is edge 7.
I'm desperate ?

Phone model number? What did you install? was it an odin flash? or a twrp flash? can it still be detected by your computer in download mode? did you enable usb debugging on your current ROM?

Hi,
Phone is Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935F
Have no Idea what was installed...
I believe it was kernel - I attached a picture of the SFTWR details
Don't know if it was ODIN or ZIP
I can put phone in Download mode, but it is not detected - well if it was, then I could have reflash it with ODIN
And yes, USB debugging is ON
try kingroot to get root easily, then use a
twrp app to flash recovery and finally go to rwcovery, wipe everything, flash proper rom
every rom thread has an i fo about models how did you manage to flash the wrong one? if you too lazy to read you need a lot of money to repair damages ^_^
