hello people, people those erros can occur using wrong usb cables and/or udev under linux not proper configured. Could be fine this program provide some support to handle this.

you could look at this https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Udev

@red0bear How should udev be properly configured?
In my case, lsusb shows:

Bus 005 Device 053: ID 04e8:685d Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd GT-I9100 Phone [Galaxy S II] (Download mode)

So the device in download mode is being detected.

Update: I figured it out. I used android-udev-rules.

Duplicate of #413? I just added some help there.

@Geremia ... sorry i get a bit away from here .. is too much toxic and full scammers. I see there is a problem to configure and access on download . but libusb doenst or something is missing depending in OS. It fails both github and pre compiled stuff.

@red0bear Sorry, I don't have the device anymore to help you test it. ☹
