[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] Saitol:
I have a sm-g973f/ds and cannot get this to work at all. Every single .img to be found says "disc image corrupted"

OEM unlocked, USB debug enabled, but have scoured the back log, tried every .img there is, tried changing usb cables, usb ports, making sure I have the latest samsung drivers. I have eliminated as many of the variables on my end as I can but for the life of me cannot find an image that works. Yes, cmd is being run as admin

Nevermind, both heimdall and this os are utter ****e. After spending too much time bashing my head against the wall of sheer stupidity that is heimdall and it's reliance on zadig and quite literally has an rng approach to installing a usb driver that will either let you flash your phone or may **** up usb ports on your computer I accepted there must be a reason why by far and away the most common solutions when googling heimdall problems are people telling you to uninstall that **** and use odin, in 5 clicks and 2 minutes it did what heimdall could not.

Then after all that turns out this os is crap anyway. during the install press the back button expecting to go back one page to check other options but nope, for some inexplicable reason it jumps to the end of the initial set up without letting me access or change basically anything. In addition to that apps do not work, anything that requires an email address, be it google or other wise will not log in, anything that syncs to any kind of online account to restore backups will be perpetually stuck on the page searching for backups. Permissions are all set, internet is fine, the accounts in question are fine everywhere except iode os. Even tried turning off the "protection", signing in to google to see if it was in anyway possible to get even a single app working on this OS before I start tinkering with any privacy/security stuff, turns out nope, it is not. Hell even the boot sequence is ****, back in the day I created a custom boot animation for my psp which ran at 60fps, this oddly highly rated, supposedly highly worked on OS has a very simplistic boot logo which even that is done poorly and is "animated" at 1 fps.

Oh and as I have been typing this, the cherry on the **** cake that has been this experience. Some of the many issues I have instantly encountered on this os have been reported to be resolved by tweaking somethings in microg, but not in this OS oh no, that would be too simple. Within minutes of giving this abomination a try I have had worse performance, more bugs, more unuesable apps.

So what is the ****ing point? a warranty voiding custom rom that is uglier and slower than the bloated default firmware, that can't run even basic apps, that has a slower boot sequence than a handheld console released in the early 2000's and reduces your "smart" phone to having all the capabilities of a nokia 3310. I have used custom roms for every phone I have had except my very first nokia brick, but I do not see the point of this, it isnt achieving privacy or security while maintaining convenience, it is sacrificing 99.9% of things a modern phone can do and calling it "privacy", the expression about throwing the baby out with the bathwater comes to mind, what kind of mentality is " I can't have my privacy violated if I prevent myself from being able to do anything at all"
