[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rodyll:
Hi all,

I own one i9300_TIZEN phone thanks to a Tizen event, and since I've saw what Tizen OS looks like (no comment), I'm really interesting in flashing Android on the device. Before coming in the forum and asking question, I previously made researchs and try some things.

So first I tried heimdall in order to directly flash a recovery (i hoped it will be as easy) but it gives the following output :

padawan@noMint ~/Desktop $ sudo heimdall flash -RECOVERY recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-i9300.img --verbose --stdout-errors --no-reboot
[sudo] password for padawan:
Heimdall v1.4 RC1

Releasing device interface...

It seems that the device is just not recognize by the tools, and I don't know how to solve this issue.

So for the moment I don't really know how to proceed. I know that first I may have to do a dump of my device in order to reflash it in case of issue. I saw that I may be able to do it thanks to Tizen commands, but I'm not completely sure. Some tizen tools looks very similar to android ones (like sdb with the same functions that adb), but I didn't know if it may be a solution (because tizen commands may do tizen stuff, and that's not what I'm looking for).

It may also be useful for me to know the exact hardware of my device. It may be very close to i9300, but I want to be sure before doing anything.

Another solution may be to flash a I9300 .pit file to "flash" my device, but I never use it before so i don't really understand the real risks of this solution and the process.

So for the moment I don't really know how to proceed, that's why i'm creating this thread.

Thank you,
