I'm keen to get my SGSIII rooted, but don't have access to a Windows machine, so I am waiting on news of success stories with Heimdall and the SGSIII.
Has anyone tried the current version yet? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26950875&postcount=3 gives some promise for the future.
Recovery:
heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img
Boot image:
heimdall flash --5 boot.img
I can only get into download mode on my phone. So I am trying to flash a stock ROM. When using either Odin or Heimdall its goes to 100% kernel and gets stuck there then fails. In the Heimdall command line its says...
Uploading KERNAL
100%
ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!
KERNEL upload failed!
Ending session...
ERROR: Failed to send end session packet!
Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I followed Entropy's guide on Heimdall.
I'm trying to flash a recovery with heimdall, and when I do it, it says it's successful, reboots. So when it boots normally, I restart the unit with
Code:
adb reboot recovery
or by holding down the up volume button, however it still boots into the stock recovery.
I thought for a second the flash was happening to the wrong memory address/parition, so I downloaded the pit file and reapplied the recovery flash with the pit file.
Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong?
Code:
1819 sudo heimdall flash --recovery recovery-cwmtouch-6.0.2.7-GTI9300.tar
1821 sudo heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img
1824 sudo heimdall download-pit --output YP70-michael.pit
1826 sudo heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img --pit YP70-michael.pit

I suggest just flashing a kernel that has CWM for your device using Odin. This should solve your problem.
Can you suggest one? I'm having a hard time figuring out which are compatible with Odin/Heimdall.

I've heard that Steve's Kernel is CWM-compatable, but I can't confirm or deny this
Hi!
I have a problem with a I9100. I follow the instructions on CyanogenMod wiki for flashing the recovery, but something went wrong.
I used heimdall 1.4.0 in GNU/Linux and execute
Code:
sudo heimdall flash --kernel zImage --no-reboot
All worked well and the blue progress bar appears on the screen. When it finished, I tried to enter recovery using the VolUp+Home+PowerUp buttons combination, the Samsung Galaxy S2 logo appears on the screen but it is stuck on this screen.
I tried to re-download the zImage file (using another link, different from the CM wiki one, but the same happened.
Is there an easy way to reboot into recovery from Heimdall, like with fastboot on other devices?
Is possible to install a recovery in another way?
Best regards and thanks in advance

try 'Odin flash' of a recovery file from a windows Pc and see
Thanks for your answer.
I tried to flash the TAR package with zImage inside from Odin, and same result.
I tried to flash a stock ROM with Odin, and it gives me a non-readable error (a lot of []).
I tried to decompress the stock ROM and flashing with heimdall:
Code:
sudo heimdall flash --primary-boot boot.bin --cache cache.img --factoryfs factoryfs.img --hidden hidden.img --modem modem.bin --param param.lfs --secondary-boot Sbl.bin --kernel zImage --no-reboot
And it fails (primary-boot not recognized):
Beginning session...
Session begun.
Downloading device's PIT file...
PIT file download successful.
ERROR: Partition name for "primary-boot" could not be located
Ending session...

Any idea?
Type this in android terminal emulator:
Su
Reboot recovery
Send from my SGS2 I9100 with HassanROM and latest DorimanX 8.xx kernel
I can't do "reboot recovery" from Android Terminal because I have another issue (read bellow)
Something went wrong with Heimdall. After all, using Odin I was able to boot into recovery mode and flash the ROMs, but when I tried to reboot in "normal mode" I got a "kernel panic upload mode rst_stat=0x200000000" screen.
I did a little research and it appears to be mandatory to flash a stock ROM and begin again with all the process.
I tried it, with the latest stock ROM for my country and company, but Odin return an extrange error when I press in "Start" button. The popup Windows puts the filename and a lot of "squares" (character with a different encoding, like chinese).
EDITED: I was able to flash the stock ROM, but the phone still doesn't boot. The yellow triangle disappeared but it cannot but
What can I try next?
SCH-i605.....never rooted/most current OTA most likely. Boot loop (logo freeze). Treid usual Odin/PIT. Get "cant mount" yad yada error on wipe/reset. Can get to download mode and reset mode. ADB sees phone ...can I side load a recovery file? (Heimdall isn't working)
Thanks

Flash a recovery via Odin and boot to recovery then factory reset in recovery then wipe cache.
If Odin isn't working then you can try getting a recovery in .img format then use the dd command in adb to push the recovery.img to your recovery partition.
If you have to, download your stock firmware then find instructions to extract the stock recovery.img from the firmware, then you need to find out which mmcblk0 your recovery partition is in, then use the dd command to push the recovery.img to that mmcblk0. You can find instructions for all of that with a Google search if you take your time and search for each thing I mentioned.
Thanks Droidriven! I'll give it a try when I have time this weekend. I'll post back with my ultimate success I hope!
