Hello. I tried to install postmaketOS in my phone (Samsung Galaxy A3 2015 SM-A300FU). I have flashed lk2nd in my device with heimdall flash --BOOT lk2nd-msm8916.img. Here is the end of the message that appears on my computer: "Uploading BOOT 100% BOOT upload successful Ending session... Rebooting device... Releasing device interface..." My phone restarted on a page with the message: "Set Warranty Bit : kernel" and nothing else happens. When i try to connect it on my computer, i see the message "ERROR : Failed to detected compatible download-mode device". When i press on vol down + home + power, i see the screen in odin mode and i can see the device from lsusb. When i press on vol down + power, i see the screen with "Set Warranty Bit: kernel" and i can't see the device from lsusb.

I'm having a similar issue. Quick question: does your phone also have red text that displays "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING"? that could be the potential issue, but I'm a bit newbie, so I'm not sure. Does anyone know why this is happening to us. (Mine's a Samsung Galaxy S4)

We don't have support for any Samsung Galaxy S4 in lk2nd at the moment?

Thank you. I checked my phone and it was not one that was supported, sorry for the false alarm...

I don't have red text that displays "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING".

I am having the exact same issue, also trying to install postmaketOS. I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 2015 SM-A500FU which should be supported.

I don't have red text that displays "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING".

Neither do I.
