#Problem
I can not boot my Samsung Galaxy S5 into recovery mode after flashing TWRP.
#Background
I am trying to install LineageOS on my Samsung Galaxy S5 .
#What I tried
I followed the install guide on the LineageOS wiki:
1. Installing heimdall , which I built from source to get v1.4.2, since the previous version could not complete the handshake with my phone (other people had the same error )
2. Checking if heimdall works by using
print-pit
, which it did
3. Flashing TWRP by using flash --RECOVERY twrp-x.x.x-x-klte.img --no-reboot
. Keeping their disclaimer in mind I tried both the current version as well as two older ones. Heimdall outputs upload successful
, and I disconnect the phone (after the device has been released).
4. Booting into recovery mode -> **FAIL**
#Error
The device boots into download mode instead (and no, I did not accidentally switch the volume buttons). There is no error message.
#Edit
I originally (and wrongfully) assumed the device to be Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE . It was, however, a Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus (at least this is how I explain the error).
