Heimdall: flash fails to start with Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005

I’m not sure how relevant my particular case was, but for what it’s worth, I am using a clean checkout of master.

As I stated in my previous comment, it worked perfectly once I unhooked unnecessary USB devices and found the magic USB port. Thank you very much for this extremely useful tool!

i can confirm that @hesem3 suggestion has worked for me!

i have created a branch at: https://github.com/karabijavad/Heimdall/tree/issue-197

you should be able to follow all the directions as normal for compiling heimdall from source and it would work

It seems that the PIT file receive requires empty packet reading before sending the PitFilePacket::kRequestEndTransfer packet.

Here is a quick and dirty solution to the BridgeManager::ReceivePitFile(…) function.

Add the “empty” packet reading just before sending the PitFilePacket(PitFilePacket::kRequestEndTransfer)

...
Interface::Print("PIT file data received, read 'empty' packet...\n");
int dataTransferred = 0;
int timeout = 1000;
unsigned char* bufferEmpty = (unsigned char*)malloc(1);
int result = libusb_bulk_transfer(deviceHandle, inEndpoint, bufferEmpty, 1, &dataTransferred, timeout);
delete bufferEmpty;
Interface::Print("PIT file data receive completed, send kRequestEndTransfer...\n");
...

I think you can also remove the empty packet sending by setting the SendPacket(…) sendEmptyTransferFlags parameter default value to kSendEmptyTransferNone
