Heimdall + note4/SM-N910T broken with ubuntu 15.10 and fedora 23.

spikebike commented 8 years ago

I've been trying to get heimdall (from various packages and compiled from source) working on my ubuntu-14.04 box.

There was somediscussion here that maybe it was an older libusb. So I decided to try the 2 newest linux's I could find and ended up with ubuntu-15.10 (released in Oct) and fedora 23 (released in the last week or so).

I'll include my attempts below. Any suggestions on which heimdall and which linux I should try to get it to work with my note4/SM-N910T?

So my attempt on fedora 23:

[liveuser@left ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora release 23 (Twenty Three)
# dnf install heimdall
...
  Installing  : heimdall-1.4.1-5.fc23.x86_64                                1/1
  Verifying   : heimdall-1.4.1-5.fc23.x86_64                                1/1

Installed:
  heimdall.x86_64 1.4.1-5.fc23

root@left liveuser]# heimdall print-pit
Heimdall v1.4.1

Me too, Fedora 23 x86_64, heimdall-1.4.1-5.fc23.x86_64.rpm.

FWIW it's working fine for me (odn't get the error above) with Ubuntu 15.10 x86_64. Built from source-- something like

git clone git@github.com:SaburoJiro/Heimdall.git
cd Heimdall/libpit
./configure
make
cd ../heimdall
./configure
make
sudo ./heimdall print-pit

Worked fine. (Note that I got source from sabujiro not this repo.)

spikebike commented 8 years ago

I can confirm that SaburoJiro/Heimdall.git allows print-pit to work on my ubuntu-14.04 machine.

My previous attempts with ubuntu's provided heimdall and building source from Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall failed.

kynan commented 8 years ago

This might be the same issue as #228. Try my fix with the udev rule.

fat-tire commented 7 years ago

Quick note-- SaburuJiro's repo appears to be gone, so I pushed the branch I was using to my repository:

https://github.com/fat-tire/Heimdall

Hope it works for y'all.
