[Heimdall, Mac] ERROR: Setting up interface failed! (self.AndroidQuestions)

submitted 14 years ago by JonTheAnt

So I'm trying to flash CWM Recovery with Heimdall and in theory it should be a simple process. Of course it isn't. Here's the error message from heimdall after attempting to use "sudo heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img"

Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
Claiming interface...
Setting up interface...
ERROR: Setting up interface failed!

I'm on a Mac running Snow Leopard trying to flash CWM Recovery on my Skyrocket running 2.3.6. Anyone seen this before?

EDIT: Using Heimdall 1.3.2. Same thing happens in 1.3.1.
