Cracked it ! It was a version issue with hemidall. 1.4.2 seemed to resolve the issue.
Huge thanks to @hsce1 for this documentation, it really helped a lot.
Just playing about with Ubuntu Touch and getting familiar with stuff.
Only got about 2 % space free tho .
Ok. got to the last step and seemed to fail at the end. "heimdall flash --BOOT halium-boot.img".
got the below message. Any advice !! ?
Many thanks

didn't realise that ADB is such a pain. Updated bootloader on phone. rooted phone, and for some reason cant get the thing to recognise in download mode.

Hello, nice that you want to try it. So yes the halium-boot.img goes into the boot partition, but here is the guide from the beginning of this thread in case you missed it: https://pad.ubports.com/p/samsung-s3neo-alphatesting
That should explain a lot - let me hear what happened

Thanks. Used to doing this sort of things in windows and not messed with it in linux. Phone being a pain, when trying to get it recognised in download mode.
Got the all the SDK stuff installed. Any thoughts re linux recognising device in download mode ? Changed cables and did all that. Running ubuntu 18.
Just stumbled across this, when looking at ubuntu touch devices and different ports available.
I got a clean samsung s3-neo, which i'd like to experiment with.
I've flashed loads of roms in the past and just trying to understand all the instructions.
Basically I need to get TWRP 3.3.3-1 and install via hemidall in a linux environment (or Odin in windows)
(i understand this part well enough)
Seen your link for the images here

I'm guessing you use ADB with the *.img files (hallium boot.img and system.img) ??
any help appreciated
