OneClick and heimdall problems.

Where to start?

Phone is I997, Samsung Infuse 4g. It is bricked.

When turned on all it does is go to a garbled up recovery screen and stops.

Installed heimdall-1.3.1, heimdall-frontend-1.3.1, OneClick and One-Click-Packager2 on a Ubuntu 12.10 os.

Downloaded SGH-i997-UCKJ4-One-Click.jar.

When running OneClick the error 'heimdall not installed'; after clicking yes to install, the 'black screen of death' pops up.

After clicking 'unsoft brick' it ask if the phone is connected and in dowload mode.

The phone is on, connected to PC via USB cable and a yellow triangle with an android with a shovel in it.

'Downloading' is written under the triangle. Also, heimdall-frontend is running and shows the phone detected.

This has happened several times now.

Where to start solving these problems?

TIA

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Erlanderterv:
I may not be much help as I really cant remember what I did to install Heimdall on my Ubuntu box. I think I just installed through the Ubuntu Software Centre. I just checked and both heimdall and heimdall frontend are there in the Software Centre for me.

From a terminal I just type the command gksudo heimdall-frontend and go from there.

A Google search for "heimdall ubuntu" should also get you lots of relevant information.

This was just now a lifesaver on my Infuse 4G that was soft bricked. I tried putting TWRP on it and then it went in a loop on the AT&T screen.

Flash single component with Heimdall 1.3.2?

Me also installed Heimdall version 1.3.2 and I do have consequently the same GUI as you.

I only want to flash the baseband. The screenshot of the older version 1.1 of Heimdall (see post #1) tells me that it is easy to flash the modem and nothing else.

For me there is not need to flash anything else. ROM and kernel are working ok.

What I have is a file "baseband_KPO.zip" containing a "baseband.tar" containing a single file called "amss.mbn".

Linux command "file" tells me that is "ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1", the size (decompressed) is about 20 MB.

In the old Heimdall I would dare to put this file into the "modem" field.

In the new Heimdall I seem to need a Heimdall package or a PIT file. But I do not want to flash everything, and I do not want to repartition the device. The device is not bricked, I only want to change to the KPO baseband which could improve "network quality" in my situation.

Is there someone who can tell how to use Heimdall 1.3.2 for flashing, let's say, a single component the same way as it has been possible with Heimdall 1.1? Before someone asks: I'm on Linux, and so I can't use Odin.

My device and setup:

SAMSUNG GALAXY S PLUS GT-i9001

ROM : ErikMod RC2 -Final-

Kernel : DiabloKernel 2.6 High Performance
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Erlanderterv:
I'm using 1.3.1 with Ubuntu.

Although it asks for a PIT for flashing I don't believe it re-partitions as I haven't experienced data loss when doing it.

Under the "Utilities" tab you can download the PIT from your phone and save it in your Computer. On android 4.1.2 I'm still using my PIT from Gingerbread.

Then under the "Flash" tab you in "Options" load that PIT but don't check "Re-Partition"

Next you add your files under "Partitions (Files)" and click "Start" with the phone connected in download mode.

It works most of the time for me but some roms seem to give it trouble.

Alternatively if Mobile Odin is available for your phone you could use it. try the Play Store.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] linuxteddy:
Thanks. This reduces my fear to brick my device. I will try this soon.

I checked Mobile Odin: Of course the somehow step child SGS Plus 9001T is not supported, at least according to the list in the description of the app. I will not do a test install only to see whether the app indeed confirms this: There is not 'trial version'.

Thus I hope Heimdall will do the trick the way you told me. Will give brief result after trying.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] linuxteddy:
I did as I was told to download the PIT from the phone to my computer.

Result: no success.

What I did:

I started with "sudo heimdall-frontend".

Connected the device in download mode with my computer and pressed "Detect" on the utilities tab.

Result: Device detected.

Next step: Entered file name and pressed "Download". Output was:

Have people used roms from Sammobile with Heimdall?

I downloaded two stock roms and both reported errors when I unpacked the tar.md5 files, error message was something like 'missing marker at end of file' so I didn't want to risk a flash.

It's very annoying that sammobile don't post the md5sum numbers for the files as far as I can tell.....

Help maybe

I was wondering if anyone could help me with my noob-ness to heimdall.

So, I flashed what seems to have been a bad download of my recovery update because they put a bad one out, and now I can't boot past the samsung screen. I was told to just flash the old recovery through download mode and it would start right back up. Well, my desktop at home is windows and I use Odin on it because I have never had a problem with it, I am using heimdall on my Mac and I have never used it.

My problem is that every time I try to load in the file that I want to flash it says that part of it is missing, are you not able to only flash a recovery file or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you to any help in advance!

"Heimdall Firmware Package" <-> ROM.zip

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 device and Heimdall 1.4 RC2 up and running. Device detected and downloaded PIT file from the device. So far so good.

And I would like to install latest CM9 on it.

http://get.cm/?device=p5wifi

But I can't quite connect the dots between what Heimdall expects and what's in the zip. Could someone help me out or point to a relevant documentation. Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sandor.irlanda:
Install ClockWorkMod recovery to your device and install cm9 from that recovery from the sdcard.

Heimdall it's for stock roms. CM packing is different.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Marlin79:
Thanks for the response. I have CWM v5.5.0.4 installed on the device. The thing is that when I first installed an early version of CM I tried the full disk encryption that came with ICS so then CWM can't read /sdcard any more in the recovery process :(

Heimdall cannot be used to install CM9?

Password?

Back story, I went to do a factory reset on my unrooted Infuse, and the phone bricked. I have no idea how, but it went strait to Samsung logo, and wouldn't get past it. I flashed the return to stock using Heimdall, but now I get the confirm password screen, and I have no idea what to put for a password. This is my daughter's old phone, and she can't remember every having a password on her phone. Any suggestions? Should I try going back and flashing again?

(I am using Windows 7, and am a NOOB when it comes to this, so I don't know if you need any more information.)

Hello!

First.. My device is a GT-i9505.. But I didnt find a thread like this in the i9505 forum.. And I suppose Heimdall should work the same for both models..

Im trying to use Heimdall to update my modem and it is not working.

I used the Heimdall (v 1.4) to download a PIT file from my own phone and use it to flash stuff.

Im trying to flash modem VJUBMG6.. So I select my PIT file and add a partition of type MDM. I choose the modem.bin from the .tar.md5 I originally downloaded and hit START..

Heimdall start working uploading modem.. 1%... up to 100% MDM upload successful!

Ending session...

Rebooting device...

Releasing device interface...

And the program says "Flash completed successfully" while the phone reboot by itself...

The thing is... The modem didnt change. I've gone through the process twice and it's still the same MJ5 modem.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Erlanderterv:
It is a while since I did this but I have never made a new partition. I just flash the new file over the top of the old.

The fact that you are making a new partition suggests that you are leaving the old modem file there and not overwriting it.

I hope this helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xsenman:
First flashing a modem does not need a PIT , its done like this , it only needs to be flashed twice, if you want to do it with heimdall, follow same process, flash twice.

Check this out! Links to useful Guides and " Banned " Documentaries ​
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mlmfilho:
Hi,

I appreciate the reply but, Heimdall does not let me flash anything without selecting a PIT file.

I got my modem from the link you sent. And the instructions are for ODIN.

Anyways.. I borrowed my wife's laptop and tried to flash the modem using ODIN v3.04 and doing exactly as instructed there.. (flashing twice doing reboots manually) and I still have my old modem... I never had any issues flashing them.. Dont know why this specific modem isnt working.

EDIT: I will try the same process using Heimdall and see what happens..

EDIT 2: I'm not sure if its related but, I updated my philz touch (from 6.0.1 to 6.0.3.4 or something like that) and done the 2 flashs process with heimdall and it worked !!!

Thanks

ok done that so now i go to the instructions on here and this is the stuff where i get lost

5. Go on the "Flash" tab. From then, you need to take up a .pit file that has been saved into your computer.

6. After taking your .pit file, you'll need to add a partition. Then selecting the partition you'll need to flash from the dropdown menu.

7. Be sure to check carefully each partition so you know that each partition equals their file counterparts.

8. When that is done, depending on if you're going to stock or not, check the "Repartition" box.

9. After you've been SURE that ALL those check-ups have been made, press the "Start" button.

Can someone explain this really really simply for me.

I have the pit file and 9100XWMS2_I9100BULS3_I9100VODLSF_HOME.tar.md5

But what to do with them

So said, I'm trying to update modem using Heimdall 1.4.0 on Linux but whatever I try looks like I'm stuck on my previous baseband version. I already tried updating modem twice. Heimdall seems to be working fine, no error or anything else.

Any clue?

Hi.

So I have picked up what looks like a new Galaxy i9000. It seems to be running stock Gingerbread 2.3.3. Baseband is I9000JXJV6. I want to flash CM11 and use it as a dedicated MP3 player.

I will be using Heimdall to flash. So with this info what files do I need to flash successfully? I have read of two methods - CF auto root method and zKernel method. What would be the best method?

Also, is TWRP available for the i9000?

Cheers.

Has anyone used Heimdall to flash the Galaxy S7 Active? It would be nice to have a list of the individual files and where to put them.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wwortel:
Attention: Heimdall will only connect with i9000 freshly in download mode

Have flashed successfully in Linux (Debian) using Heimdall but flashing only starts when the phone has been brought in download mode, using 3-button switch-on, from the off situation and nothing has been done yet.

After any other action via USB in this mode before the flash command Heimdall will not start-up the flash communication protocol with the phone.

So in practice I bring Heimdall in poll-position with all settings done and files selected, pull the USB, take the battery from the phone, put it back in, do the three-button thing to get download mode with the big Yellow triangle on screen, put USB back in and give flash command. Most of the time it then works. Perhaps a quirk of my particular phone but just so you know.

I'm trying to flash a magisk_patched.tar file (to Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 lite) using Heimdall on Linux. I cannot use the TWRP method for installing magisk because there isn't one yet for this device.

Heimdall is set up and recognises the device. I downloaded and saved the PIT file. Then in the flash tab on Heimdall I add the PIT file, then I'm not sure which partition to choose to flash the magisk.tar to. I also don't quite understand the magisk install instructions where it says "flash magisk_patched.tar as AP, together with BL, CP, and CSC (NOT HOME_CSC because we want to wipe data) from the original firmware". Do I have to extract the contents of AP....tar.md5, insert the magisk_patched.tar file and compress it again? Or do I simply select all of the folders from the original firmware package (AP, BL, CO, CSC) and magisk_patched.tar individually and flash them all (in the same way you can queue up zip files to flash via a custom recovery?

DRAG AND DROP maybe?

alright, like i have said before. i am not that smart when it comes to this. When i was rooting my 0.93 this is step by step how i did it.

connected phone to comp.

usb drive selected

drag and drop unrevoked forever.zip and rage against the cage and pc36img

then went to unrevoked.com and ran the relash package.

now i re ran the pc36 img to unroot. (this is the only way i got my amon ra 2.2 recovery to work)

i then rebooted and hooked up to the comp. again and deleted those files from my sd.

Then downloaded amon ra package.

drag and dropped those files to the sd.

pulled the battery and then pushed volume down and power to the hboot screen,

then i let the pc36 try to load (which obviously doesnt because its already stock.)

Then went to recovery (had to do it a couple times to go through correctly) but it would then just go straight to the amon ra recovery screen and when fully booted would show a skull and crossbones (2.2 root) in the app drawer.

IS THERE NOT JUST A SIMPLE DRAG AND DROP METHOD?!?!?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Triplesix6:
The whole "Four corners" thing is not true.

You're pretty much out of luck if you can't get a 100% data signal, or wifi.

As you need to update to 2.1 in order to bypass the gmail login screen.

I had a Mytouch 3g for a few days, At first I couldn't do anything with it because I can't get a strong signal from Tmobile. I had to drive into town to log in to Gmail to set it up. from there I enabled wifi, and updated the OS to 2.1 from there, I did a full phone wipe, the update stayed, I then clicked the android like normal, except this time around, there was a 'Skip' option for those who need to enable wifi to log in.

The Mytouch 3g is pretty much useless if you can't get a strong data signal.

Sorry.

best bet is to sell the phone.
