Detecting device...
Claiming interface...
Attempt failed. Detaching driver...
Claiming interface again...
Setting up interface...

Checking if protocol is initialised...
Protocol is not initialised.

Initialising protocol...
Protocol initialisation successful.

Beginning session...
Session begun.

Downloading device's PIT file...

Tos69400 · Dec 17, 2012 at 9:30 AM

The problem is the same with the old and the new version :

Code:

Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
Claiming interface...
Attempt failed. Detaching driver...
Claiming interface again...
Setting up interface...

Checking if protocol is initialised...
Protocol is not initialised.

Initialising protocol...
Protocol initialisation successful.

Beginning session...
Session begun.

Downloading device's PIT file...
PIT file download successful.

ERROR: Partition "BOOT" does not exist in the specified PIT.
Ending session...

.

I have read the script and i can't understand why it automatically download the pit from phone and i don't now where is it (to remove him).
Like heimdall 1.3.1, i can't flash bootloader.

Sorry, I test it, you can't flash boot.bin from N7000, heimdall does not see it...

F_R_I_T_Z · Jan 19, 2013 at 4:31 PM

i'm curious.
The s3 and note 2 stock roms have a lot of extras packages.
simg2img.img
sboot.bin
tz.img

What are they?

And being specific the NOTE2 N71000. Then I try to flash the modem heimdal give me the answer of no partition found.

Any light?

thanks
