This issue is solved by restarting the device in download mode just before you run the heimdall command.

NOTE: Before this worked on my SM-J20F device model I had built and installed libusb from source. also I installed heimdall from the apt-store using : $ sudo apt-get install heimdall-flash-tools

Could you try the following:

Put the device in ODIN mode (no USB cable)
Execute the commands as root:

     echo "blacklist cdc_acm" >/etc/modprobe.d/cdc_acm-blacklist.conf
     rmmod cdc_acm # ignore ERROR is not currently loaded

Plug the USB cable and use Heimdall (v1.4.1 is ok).
At end remove the file /etc/modprobe.d/cdc_acm-blacklist.conf
