libusb

Added by Tom C about 8 years ago

Hello, following instructions to install onto a Galaxy S2 and have got stuck when installing the image. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

just try it with root permissions:

sudo heimdall flash --KERNEL /.../recovery.img
or if you don't using sudo, switch to root user temporarily:
su
heimdall flash --KERNEL /.../recovery.img

Have fun.

Thanks My Self.

Tried doing it with root permissions, still getting the same result :-(

  1. Please try to switch the USB-port before executing the command with root permissions again.
  2. Are you sure, your device is in 'Download Mode' (Volume down + Select + Power... finally confirmed with Volume up),
    like at the end of this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCBloj93yhM

Yes, tried two different ports different cables and definitely have it in download mode...
