Tldr: Heimdall cannot detect my galaxy SII on mountain lion when plugged in and set to download mode. I don't have access to a windows PC but i've also tried virtual box running windows 7 with Heimdall and Odin.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy SII (i9100)
Computer: Retina macbook pro (mountain lion)
Software: Heimdall Suite 1.3.2 (Binaries)
Problem: I did a bad firmware update and now i can't boot my phone (not even into recovery mode). I can however, boot into download mode.
My thinking is that i can re-flash clockworkmod recovery using heimdall and then flash a version of cyanogen mod once i can enter recovery mode.
I've installed the Heimdall version above and re-started my macbook. I then open a terminal and try and flash:
Code:
$ heimdall flash --kernel zImage

My real question is: Has anyone successfully got heimdall to detect their SII under Mountain Lion? If so, what software versions and processes did you use?

Has anyone managed to connect their S2 using MTP when running Ubuntu? Obviously I know that it's a very simple tast to just connect via mass storage instead, but I'm interested to know.
I think that Samsung have some weird implementation of MTP because I was able to connect and copy files when I was running CM9 but not on stock ICS. I always get the error message:
Unable to mount SAMSUNG_Android
Error initialising camera: -60: Could not lock the device
Though it does mount and I can see the root of both SDCards, all the folders are empty and I can't copy any files to the cards from the computer as I get a error message reading:
There was an error copying the file into gphoto2://[usb:001,010]/store_00020002.
The same happens whether I try to use MTP or PTP.
I think the problem lies in that libmtp-1.1.3 contains fixes for the S2 but that version isn't included with 11.10 or 12.04

did you find out,
i got mine working by doing below guide,
think the issue is we have our phones in USB Debugging Mode
ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1806119.html
Steps:
1. Go to: Settings ➔ Wireless and network ➔ USB utilities.
2. Connect your phone to your PC using a USB cable.
3. Tap Connect storage to PC.
4. Scroll down from the phone notification bar. Click USB Mass Storage and tap "Connect storage from PC". The android robot will turn from green to orange. (Important step!)
5. From your PC, open the folder to view your files.
6. Copy files between your PC and the memory card.

That's connecting via USB mass storage, not mtp. But thanks for trying.

Very easy
Code:
cd ~
sudo apt-get install mtpfs
sudo mkdir /mtp
sudo chmod 775 /mtp
sudo mtpfs -o allow_other /mtp
For dismount
Code:
sudo umount mtpfs
You need to have your device rules ( Check how to install adb if you dont )
what I have found out that mtpfs is unable to preserve timestamps of the files at least on my install.
gphoto2 backend worked fine on CM9 now wile testing CM10 its a bit buggy, I can get the list of files but I am unable to read or rename them.
Most likelly it will improve as development of CM10 progresses rapidly.

I went through the steps above, except the last: How do I install adb? (device rules ?).
While my phone is so connected, the command:
cd /mtp
produces the result
bash: cd: /mtp: Transport endpoint is not connected
Help greatly appreciated.

Ubuntu 13.04 is a drastic improvement for MTP support. I have not got around to trying my S II but I successfully managed a family friends Galaxy TAB 2 with MTP with zero manual modifications to Ubuntu. Everything worked perfect plug and play out of the box.
I have also tried old versions to know how bad they were compared to 13.04.
No luck with S2 and Ubuntu 13.04
I'm on Android 4.1.2 and trying to connect via USB to Ubuntu 13.04. Error I get is that my device is not an MTP device, which it's not as its using USB
Issue is that I don't see the mounted android partitions. To make this worse, it works every now and then. Following is the syslog and the outpu of lsusb

Hi!
I got OTA update to ICS today, and everything went smooth. The phone is working fine. I connect it to iMac, run adb devices, and there is see my device. I'm also using vmware fusion with Ubuntu, where I develop Android apps. Ubuntu does not see this device. Previously, it worked fine. Yes, the device is connected and configured to be available to guest machine.

This disables USB debugging. I did it anyway, but it still does not show up. Unfortunately.
I solved this by editing Ubuntu.vmx file. I added the following lines (I believe the last line makes a difference):
Code:
usb.quirks.device0 = "0x4e8:0x681d skip-reset" # Mass Storage
usb.quirks.device1 = "0x4e8:0x68a9 skip-reset" # Media
usb.quirks.device2 = "0x4e8:0x6877 skip-reset" # Kies
usb.quirks.device3 = "0x4e8:0x6866 skip-reset" # SGS2 ICS
I understand that as of now Odin is the only option, but does anyone know if Heimdall is being worked on to work for the SGS3? Thanks.
I've not asked/talked/heard about it from anyone. But i could try to find out.
I would appreciate any information. Thanks in advance. I'm new to this forum, coming from the Evo 4g. Over there I know who to talk to, but I am pretty clueless when it comes to Sammy. I am reading as much as I can though.

I've emailed Benjamin Dobell (hope i spelled that right), the creator of Heimdall. I'm just awaiting a response.

Wow, thanks. You really went above and beyond for me. I was mostly expecting to get flamed or ignored. Cheers.

All i did was send an email. It is a legitimate question since some type of flash utility is usually required to mod a Samsung phone. I used Heimdall and Odin on my captivate, but preferred Heimdall when flashing bootloaders.
FWIW, Heimdall is known to work with the international S3, and I don't see why it shouldn't work with the US variants.
I haven't rooted yet (as I'm giving it a few days unrooted), but when I do, it'll be with Heimdall, as my phones never touch Windoze (and Odin.exe) if they don't have to. My Captivate was only ever connected to my Linux boxes.
I have tried using Heimdall with my AT&T '747 and was unable to get the phone to communicate with my PC. I have read in various non-authoritative places that this is a known issue but I haven't really seen it any where I'd consider to be reliable just yet. I can't confirm 100% that its a Heimdall issue as I haven't used is successfully with another phone (I'm coming from fastboot land).

NOTE: I have tried this with Heimdall v1.3.2 and v1.3.1. In the above snippet I am using 1.3.1 but I get the exact same message in 1.3.2.
Can anyone else confirm that heimdall does NOT work for them in linux/mac?
Please keep us updated if you hear back from Mr. Dobell.
heimdall v1.3.2
So, I just checked heimdall v1.3.2 out from git (not touched in 3 months), built it, put my phone in download mode, then connected USB (using Fedora 17):
Code:

Linux sees it (though "Sasmsung" is typo'd in udev), and heimdall detects it, but it couldn't print-pit, so, probably not working:
Code:

Development and support will continue for Heimdall for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately I have been very very busy lately and haven't even had time to respond to all my e-mails, so I definitely haven't made a lot of development progress.
I do own an international SGS3 so Heimdall will definitely support that device. Heimdall 1.3.2 unfortunately broke compatibility with several devices as I attempted to add support for certain Galaxy Player devices. The SGS3 is one such affected device. So for now I recommend using version 1.3.1.

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your response and all your work.
I am trying to resurrect my old Samsung Galaxy i5500. A couple of years ago I tried installing some custom rom but failed and bricked the phone. The boot process halts at the Samsung logo (the very first logo to appear.)
Putting the phone into recovery mode (using the volume down button + center button + power button) works, at least i presume that it works - the logo with the android shoveling dirt and the word "Downloading..." beneath it appears - but neither adb nor fastboot can see the device.

The "recovery mode" that you mentioned, is actually download mode and it's used to flash packages with Odin.
Use it to flash a custom recovery and then use that to flash a custom ROM. Format /system and /data as ext4 before flashing the ROM.

Hello guys,
I am trying to bring back to life a dead Vivo 1901 (V15) phone using SP Flash Tools v5.2036. The Firmware I am using comes in a file named, "Vivo_Y15_PD1901BF_MT6765_EX_A_1.12.4_11062019_(by_vivofirmware.com)",
which also provides MT6765 scatter file.
The auth file, scatter file and DA file that I am using for flashing is attached with this post. Upon selecting these files and flashing ( first tried with download only, then using format all + download, but results are same), I the following messages appear in the output of the tool.
