Hello
I have succesfully installed iode on a samsung s10
Is there a possibility to lock the bootloader again ?
Thanks

Hello Nomad,
I’m admirative : how did you manage to install iodeOS on an S10 ?
I’m trying to do the same, following the indications given on the Iode website, but remain hopelessly stuck at stage 5 (flashing the recovery) with a “Failed to send data” error…
Any idea what is going wrong ?
Thanks in advance to anyone able to help
:
often a problem of USB cable and/or USB port
Try another port /and/or cable
Hello,
I had the same problem in windows. It failed to make a decent connection with the s10, even after switching usb and cable.
I switched to my linux partition (in this case mint) and followed the instructions from
Those are more detailed ( works for windows too)
If using windows it is important you check if heimdall is working properly after installation ( use heimdall print-pit in your terminal to check this)
Some extra tips:
Make sure you have the necessary drivers in windows installed.
It is important you (dis)connect the smartphone on the correct moment.
Work as administrator in your terminal
Good luck

Hello @velologiste ,
In Download Mode, does your phone display KG STATE : Prenormal (which means that OEM unlock is OFF), or KG STATE : Checking (which is what you must have) ?
Cobus.
Hello, I have a quit similar issue with Heimdall flash.
It stay stuck on “initialising protocol”
The OEM unlock is not accessible from developper options but the phone seems to be accessible as Heimdall is trying to flash.
Here is the download mode screen.
Thanks
Yes I have tried this operation many times but without success.
You have to set the date in the past that’s right ?
I dis the software upadates too.
It seems that the Wifi lost internet access when changing the date manually. Can I do it with 4G ?
In download mode, I don’t have the unlock option by long pressing volUp.
I have only the VolUp continue option.
Does that mean that My phone cannot be unlocked ?
So sad… I bought it only to install iodéOS.
When I entre the IMEI it shows that it’s Exynos.
How can I verify that it is Snapdragon ?
U and W seems to be snapdragon
F and DS Exynos
Ok thanks you !
I’ll send it back to the shop.
I wanted to buy one from IodéWeb shop but it nos available anymore.
Peace
fine
and remeber, a pixel is always a good alternative 
A-ha, which one has the best photos ?
Is there the same kind of trap for installing IodéOS with Pixel 6 ?
Or we van do it on every models ?
I like the pixels, good phones.
And buying the last series is always a good price.
They have good camera sensors. I get the same result with gcam and aperture camera app. for me, I’m satisfied
I have a pixel 5 (redfin) and a pixel 6a (bluejay). Both are very good.
Installing iodeOS is very easy
Reboot into bootloader. unlock bootloader. start fastboot script, wait, that’s it.
re-lock bootloader again and boot into iode.
very easy, very smooth
no heimdall, or odin. nothing to wait several days to unlock the bootloader and so on…
and the pixel series will be updated the longest from google itself
TL;DR
I will don’t buy anything else in the future

Thank you very much @Nomad I’ll check the detailed LineageOS instructions.
I guess the necessary drivers must be indicated in the link you provided.
How do you work as admin in terminal in windows10 ?
Many thanks @Cobus, however I don’t see any KG STATE on the DL mode screen… Here’s a pic if that can provide useful info…
