I concur: A310F does not seem to work with Heimdall. I ended up with the very same error.

[iamantony]

I faced the same problem with my A310F (A310FXXU1AOL7) when tried to flash boot.img

[iamantony]

Finally I found solution to the problem. It's more like a hack. Be careful. You have been warned!

I noticed that we get error when trying to receive response from our device that it have received first file packet (BridgeManager.cpp, line 1115). It seems to me that device actually do not send response for the first file packet. If we skip this first response error, then file will be successfully sent to the device.

In BridgeManager.cpp replace code from line 1117 till 1153 by this code:

if (filePartIndex == 0)
{
    // Hack
    success = true;
    receivedPartIndex = filePartIndex;
}
else
{
    for (int retry = 0; retry < 4; ++retry)
    {
        Interface::PrintErrorSameLine("\n");
        Interface::PrintError("Retrying...");

        // Send
        sendFilePartPacket = new SendFilePartPacket(file, fileTransferPacketSize);
        success = SendPacket(sendFilePartPacket, kDefaultTimeoutSend, sendEmptyTransferFlags);
        delete sendFilePartPacket;

        if (!success)
        {
            Interface::PrintErrorSameLine("\n");
            Interface::PrintError("Failed to send file part packet 2!\n");
            return (false);
        }

        // Response
        sendFilePartResponse = new SendFilePartResponse();
        success = ReceivePacket(sendFilePartResponse);
        unsigned int receivedPartIndex = sendFilePartResponse->GetPartIndex();

        delete sendFilePartResponse;

        if (receivedPartIndex != filePartIndex)
        {
            Interface::PrintErrorSameLine("\n");
            Interface::PrintError("Expected file part index: %d Received: %d\n", filePartIndex, receivedPartIndex);
            return (false);
        }

        if (success)
            break;
    }

    if (!success)
        return (false);
}

Thanks a lot! Made it possible for me to reflash a stock image on my A310F. :)

Hello, i found a solution too.
I had exactly the same problem, and even the code replacement didn't work.
To succeed flash, i've just changed permission of the file(s) i would flash as executable for heimdall, with the command " chmod +x recovery.img (or anything else)"

[vvvverre]

I came across this problem as well on my Galaxy A5 (2016), SM-A510F. @iamantony fix/hack worked for me.

[brauliobo]

same error here with A520F/DS and
A5Y17LTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN100M.pit.zip

[vitalif]

same with A510F, the hack also worked

[sleeplessCortes]

where do I find the BridgeManager.cpp file on my ubuntu 16.04 system to open in editor for change???
could not find anywhere, or how do i perform this hack?

[iamantony]

@sleeplessCortes you should download source code from github, edit BridgeManager.cpp and compile Heimdall

I tried this and still the same issue :(

Hack worked with my A510F too

[sletuffe]

I got a Samsung a5 (2016) A510F and heimdall was failling on all uploads with : "ERROR: Failed to receive file part response!"
That hack worked for me.

[smartass101]

Just wanted to report that this hack also worked on a Samsung Galaxy S5 neo (SM-G903F). Standard Heimdall build indeed gave me the ERROR: Failed to receive file part response! message. The phone had stock firmware with Android 5.1.1 to begin with (in case it matters). The hack enabled me to upload the latest TWRP as well as the Android 6.0.1 stock ROM and afterwards a crDroid (Android 11) build flashed (via TWRP) cleanly. Due to my laziness I actually compiled the fork with the hack applied in https://github.com/alexax66/Heimdall, thanks @alexax66!

[nerdoc]

@Benjamin-Dobell Is it possible to include that in heimdall by default?

[djelouze]

Didn't try the hack, but the solution from #347 (comment) worked for me, with a Samsun A510F

[Adelineenileda]

I have the same error and the solution #347 don't work... I don't known how try the hack... A solution ?
