I am getting a "WARNING: Control transfer #1 failed. Result: -9" problem that looks like it might be causing a failure for heimdall to flash a recovery to my Samsung Galaxy S Duos GT-S7562 phone.

I am running Ubuntu 13.04 (raring ringtail) and Heimdall v1.4 RC1.

I have the phone unplugged and off. Then I turn it on to "download mode" and then press the up key to accept the download mode option. Then I plug it into the usb cable to the computer. Then I run the heimdall detect program and find that the device is detected. Then I run the following to install the custom recovery.

I obtained the "recovery.img" file from a "recovery.tar" file that I got from a root kit zip file.

Is there a way to get around this error? What does "-9" mean as an error code?

~$ sudo heimdall flash --RECOVERY /tmp/recovery.img --verbose 
\ Heimdall v1.4 RC1

  • Update: I was able to print-pit after I changed the USB cable to go directly to my computer instead of through a hub at the same time I tried it from a bare terminal.

Second update (success):

One or more of the following ended up solving my problem (I tried all at once instead of trying each sequentially, sorry!):

  • Connect the usb cable directly to computer, not through a hub.
  • Use the Heimdall command line option " --RECOVERY" (instead of "--recovery").
  • Use the newer Heimdall 1.4 final.
