Fellow Rooters,
I am unable to get around this problem in Win7 Ultimate x64, when trying to run the "heimdall flash --kernel flashfile" command. The preceding "detect" command comes back "Device detected", but when I run the command to flash, I get the following.
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12
Someone else in another forum where you posted your steps also complained about this -12 error, but I couldn't find any replies to that person's post. I cannot for the life of me find any reference to a -12 error for libusb... the closest I can get is a list of the libusb_error enum values at
libusb: Miscellaneous, but there are no codes associated. If I count the error list starting at 1, however, then 12 would be "
LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED", meaning "Operation not supported or unimplemented on this platform." Has anyone successfully rooted a Samsung Stratosphere (or any Samsung device) yet using heimdall on Win7 x64?
I wanted to try odin, but I can't find instructions on how to properly do the flash with odin instead of heimdall. Does anyone either a) know this error and how to get around it, or b) know how to use odin instead of heimdall to root the Stratosphere? Thanks!
Regards,
Maximillian C.
