. Setup instructions can be found here. - Enable USB debugging on your device.
Preparing for installation
Samsung devices come with a unique boot mode called “Download mode”, which is very similar to “Fastboot mode” on some devices with unlocked bootloaders.Heimdall is a cross-platform, open-source tool for interfacing with Download mode on Samsung devices.The preferred method of installing a custom recovery is through Download Mode – rooting the stock firmware is neither necessary nor required.
- Download and install the appropriate version of the Heimdall suite for your machine’s OS
- Windows: Extract the Heimdall suite zip and take note of the new directory containing
heimdall.exe
. You can verify Heimdall is functioning by opening a Command Prompt or PowerShell in that directory and runningheimdall version
. - If you receive an error, install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable Package (x86) on your computer.
- Linux: Extract the Heimdall suite zip and take note of the new directory containing
heimdall
. Now copyheimdall
into a directory in $PATH, a common one on most distros will be /usr/local/bin. For examplecp heimdall /usr/local/bin
. You can verify Heimdall is functioning by opening a Terminal and runningheimdall version
. - macOS: Mount the Heimdall suite DMG. Now drag
heimdall
down into the/usr/local/bin
symlink provided in the DMG. You can verify Heimdall is functioning by opening a Terminal and runningheimdall version
.
Note: These Heimdall suite distributions were built by LineageOS Developers Nolen Johnson (npjohnson) and Jan Altensen (Stricted), as the Heimdall suite executables distributed on the official Heimdall website were outdated and the repo mostly abandoned. Modifications were made to make it build and function on modern OSes. - Windows: Extract the Heimdall suite zip and take note of the new directory containing
- Power off the device, and boot it into download mode:
- With the device powered off, hold Home + Volume Down + Power.
- Now, click the button that the on screen instructions correlate to “Continue”, and insert the USB cable into the device.
- For Windows user only: install the necessary drivers. A more complete set of instructions can be found in the Zadig user guide.
- If nothing relevant appears, try uninstalling any Samsung related Windows software, like Samsung Windows drivers and/or Samsung Kies.
- Run
zadig.exe
found in your extracted Heimdall directory.
Note: For the interested, source and documentation for zadig.exe can be found here.- Choose Options » List all devices from the menu.
- Select Samsung USB Composite Device or MSM8x60 or Gadget Serial or Device Name from the drop down menu.
- Click Replace Driver, then selecting Install Driver from the drop down list built into the button.
- If you are prompted with a warning that the installer is unable to verify the publisher of the driver, select Install this driver anyway. You may receive two more prompts about security. Select the options that accept the warnings and allow you to carry on.
- On your machine, open a Command Prompt or PowerShell (Windows) window, or Terminal (Linux or macOS) window, and type:
- If the device reboots that indicates that Heimdall is installed and working properly. If it does not, please refollow these instructions to verify steps weren’t missed, try a different USB cable, and a different USB port.
Installing a custom recovery using heimdall
- Download a custom recovery - you can download one here.
- Power off the device, and boot it into download mode:
- With the device powered off, hold Home + Volume Down + Power.
- Now, click the button that the on screen instructions correlate to “Continue”, and insert the USB cable into the device.
- On your machine, open a Command Prompt or PowerShell (Windows) window, or Terminal (Linux or macOS) window, and type: Tip: The file may not be named identically to what stands in this command, so adjust accordingly. If the file is wrapped in a zip or tar file, extract the file first, because Heimdall is not going to do it for you.
- A blue transfer bar will appear on the device showing the recovery image being flashed.
- Unplug the USB cable from your device.
- Manually reboot into recovery, this may require pulling the device’s battery out and putting it back in, or if you have a non-removable battery, press the Volume Down + Power buttons for 8~10 seconds until the screen turns black & release the buttons immediately when it does, then boot to recovery:
- With the device powered off, hold Home + Volume Up + Power.
Note: Be sure to reboot into recovery immediately after installing the custom recovery. If you don’t the stock ROM will overwrite the custom recovery with the stock recovery, and you’ll need to flash it again.

.zip
package:- On the device, select “Advanced”, “ADB Sideload”, then swipe to begin sideload.
- On the host machine, sideload the package using:
adb sideload filename.zip
- (Optionally): If you want to install any additional add-ons, repeat the sideload steps above for those packages in sequence.Note: If you want Google Apps on your device, you must follow this step before booting into LineageOS for the first time!
- (Optional): Root your device by installing LineageOS’ AddonSU, (use the
arm
package) or by using any other method you prefer. - Once you have installed everything successfully, run ‘adb reboot’.Warning: Depending on which recovery you use, you may be prompted to install additional apps and services. We strongly advise you to opt out of installing these, as they may cause your device to bootloop, as well as attempt to access or corrupt your data.
