ERROR: Failed to detect compatible download-mode device.

Hello everyone,
I am having a bit of trouble with installing Replicant upon my S3 Samsung.

It appears to be charging from my laptop but perhaps is not exchanging data:

Turns out, I still have some things to learn. The select button is the button on the front facing screen at the bottom (southern to the camera).
As such, you must hold the power button, the volume down, and the select button to enter `download-mode`.
My sincerest of apologies once more.
