[Q] Anybody used Heimdall yet on SGS2?

peadarog · May 14, 2011

Just like it says in the thread title, I was wondering if anybody -- in particular, any linux users -- had tried using heimdall yet? I'm too new to both the Galaxy family of phones and odin/heimdall to try it myself yet.

thanks.

This is just a repeat of what I said in the official heimdall thread:

I just tried using it with the SGS2. Nothing radical, since I have zero experience with heimdall and Galaxy phones.

1) I put the phone into download mode, following instructions I got here.
2) I connected the phone to my fedora 11 install (yes, I'm way behind the times!)
3) I ran lsusb and got:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04e8:685d Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd
It doesn't mention the words "mobile phone" as I think it does for the S1, but I may be wrong about that.
4) I ran:
heimdall close-pc-screen --verbose
according to instructions earlier in this thread (page 26).
5) I got:
Failed to detect compatible device

Would be great for us Linux-Only-Nerdys

Sorry guys I don't have a Galaxy S II to develop with so I haven't been able to make the necessary changes to support the Galaxy S II. If anyone has one they want to donate that would be fantastic, but that's probably not all that likely

I just tested heimdall a bit with the SGSII.
At least, kernel flash works.

Modifications needed:

BridgeManager.h: device ID is 685D not 6601 (maybe add a switch for sgs2)

main.cpp: getUnknown is 131072, not 0 (again, maybe switch)

and it'll work.
I'd also suggest a switch for "--no-reboot" ;-)

Let me know if you would prefer a diff or w/e like that..

Disclaimer: I did NOT test this thoroughly, this is AT YOUR OWN RISK - flashing CAN destroy your device.

Kernel flashing does work tho

ps: I'd have prefered giving you a GT-I9100 but that's a little over my budget right now

bad stuff:
x64 linux binary http://www.multiupload.com/A1R7SDUFZM

more bad stuff:
ive put it in a diff cause i'm not so lazy today:

I have tried compiling this on two different machines -- one Fedora 11 and one Fedora 14. Both result in the same error, and sadly, I'm not experienced enough to figure it out

Here's the badness:

depbase=`echo source/BridgeManager.o | sed 's|[^/]*$|.deps/&|;s|\.o$||'`;\
g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/usr/include/libusb-1.0 -g -O2 -MT source/BridgeManager.o -MD -MP -MF $depbase.Tpo -c -o source/BridgeManager.o source/BridgeManager.cpp &&\
mv -f $depbase.Tpo $depbase.Po
source/BridgeManager.cpp:57:47: error: ‘kPidGalaxySDownloadMode’ is not a member of ‘Heimdall::BridgeManager’
make[1]: *** [source/BridgeManager.o] Error 1

I'd be grateful for any suggestions, although I fully understand that you all have lives elsewhere!

I think you need to look more up to find the cause, you are surely missing some devel packages

I'm sure it's something stupid. On both laptops I have run:

yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
yum install rpmdevtools

I also installed the kernel source rpm.

godutch · May 22, 2011

try installing the libusb-devel packages

godutch · May 22, 2011

Got it there is an error in the patch. I can't make a diff for you but it's easy to change in heimdall/source/BridgeManager.h change the enum section around line 67 like this:

enum
{
kPidGalaxyS2DownloadMode = 0x685D,
kPidGalaxySDownloadMode = 0x6601,
kPidGalaxySInternational = 0x681C,
kPidGalaxySNewInternational = 0x681D,
kPidVibrantCanadaBell = 0x6877
};

peadarog · May 22, 2011

Thanks a lot, godutch! That worked and got me as far as the next error:

Failed to get D-Bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /org/freedesktop/systemd1/private: Connection refused

Luckily Dr. Hotdog seems to have a fix for that here. Thanks all

peadarog · May 22, 2011

It seemed to install all right, but when I run:

heimdall close-pc-screen

I get:

Failed to detect compatible device

Is this to be expected? I.e. does that functionality work with the SGS2 or do I have more problems I need to investigate?

godutch · May 22, 2011

What's the output of lsusb with the sgs connected?

anybody tried installing this kernel:

with this pre-compiled heimdall?

I just didn't want to break my shiny new toy

And I do not have windows, of course!

hello

when I try to flash a kernel, I get:

Failed to detect compatible device

lsusb gives:

Bus 001 Device 007: ID 04e8:685e Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd

maybe the problem is the different usb ID?

sorry guys, me stupid, I wasn't in download mode!
flashed supercurio kernel succesfully, now I'm rooted and with cifs, all without needing to run windows!
thanks very much!

just wanted to let you know that with this heimdall I've successfully flashed CFROOT in this thread:
