Download pit for S5 G900F fails with heimdall-frontend but succeeds with command-line binaries 1.4.1
Created by: lope
Both binaries were compiled from the source I downloaded from master today (1.4.1) I didn't save the error, but it gave the typical error seen in other s5 pit download issues regarding not being able to end the transfer successfully etc.
When using heimdall-frontend I was not able to download the pit file using Utilities, and I was not able to flash either, because when starting the flash process it wanted to download the pit file, even though I had selected the pit file as part of the flashing process. (which seems to be another bug, but it might be a nice safety check?)
None of this bothers me. I was just trying heimdall-frontend because I was feeling lazy. I use commandline stuff 99% of the time, and I used the commandline afterwards, which worked. I'm just reporting this for the sake of people who need frontends.
So it seems that heimdall-frontend and heimdal binaries use different code?
the compile process went a little something like this on Ubuntu 14.04
apt-get install build-essential cmake zlib1g-dev qt5-default libusb-1.0-0-dev libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dev
#download Heimdall master from github
cd /tmp; unzip Heimdall.zip; cd Heimdall
mkdir build; cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make -j 4
cd bin
sudo ./heimdal--frontend >/dev/null 2>&1 &
