-Flashing Heimdall Firmware Package with Heimdall Frontend:

-

-    As of Heimdall Frontend 1.3 there are now two main ways to flash a ROM from

-    Heimdall Frontend. The simpler and preferred option is to download a

-    Heimdall Firmware Package and follow the following steps.

-

-

-    1. Fully charge your device (use the wall charger as it's faster).

-

-    2. Open the a terminal and run Heimdall Frontend by typing:

-

-            heimdall-frontend

-

-    3. From the "Load Package" tab, under the "Heimdall Firmware Package"

-       section click the "Browse" button.

-

-    4. Use the dialogue that appears to navigate to, and select, the Heimdall

-       firmware package that you wish to flash.

-

-    5. You will see progress bars appear as the package is decompressed and

-       extracted.

-

-       When the package has finished being decompressed you should see

-       information about the particular firmware package that has been

-       selected.

-

-    6. Verify that your device is listed under "Supported Devices". If it's not

-       then STOP immediately! DO NOT flash this firmware to your device!

-       Instead search for an appropriate firmware package for your device.

-

-       If you believe there is a mistake and your device is actually

-       supported please get in contact with the firmware developer (not Glass

-       Echidna!) and ask them to rectify the issue. If the developer provided

-       a URL you may be able to contact them by pressing the "Homepage" button.

-

-    7. If you've verified your device is supported you may continue to press

-       the "Load / Customise" button.

-

-    8. You should now be looking at the "Flash" tab. If not verify that you did

-       in fact push the "Load / Customise" button.

-

-       Generally, you won't NEED or WANT to customise a firmware package! In

-       which case you can safely move on to step 9.

-

-       Nonetheless, the "Flash" tab provides you with a means to customise the

-       firmware package before flashing it to your device. See "Performing a

-       Custom Flash with Heimdall Frontend" for more details.

-

-    9. Put your Galaxy S device into download mode and plug it in to your PC.

-

-       Download mode can be accessed several different ways depending on your

-       particular device model. If you're unsure how to do this please search

-       online for the appropriate method.

-

-   10. Press the "Start" button.

-

-   11. Heimdall Frontend will display the progress and inform you when the

-       flash is complete.

-

-       If something went wrong i.e. your device wasn't detected because it

-       wasn't in download mode, then the status section will let you know the

-       cause of the problem.

+
+    If you're not an advanced user or a developer, in the event that a Heimdall
     Firmware Package doesn't exist for the particular firmware (or files) that
     you wish to flash, then I strongly recommend you get in touch with the
     developer of the firmware (or files) and politely ask them to create a
     Heimdall Firmware Package for you. In doing so, you avoid the risk of
     making mistakes due to inexperience.
-

-

-    If you're looking to customise an existing Heimdall Firmware Package then

-    follow steps 1-8 of "Flashing Heimdall Firmware Package with Heimdall

-    Frontend" then start from below with step 5.

-

-

-    1. Fully charge your device (use the wall charger as it's faster).

-

-    2. Download a decrypted Samsung Galaxy S ROM or a Heimdall Firmware Package

-       and extract everything to the one directory.

-

-    3. If the ROM is not a Heimdall Firmware Package it may instead be provided

-       as multiple archives (nested or otherwise), extract them all to the same

-       location.

-

-       NOTE: If you want to use the CSC then extract it last. If you're asked

-             to overwrite files then do so.

-

-    3. Open the a terminal and run Heimdall Frontend by typing:

-

-            heimdall-frontend

-

-    4. Select the "Flash" tab. From the "Flash" tab you're able to completely

-       customise a flash. 

-

-    5. Before you can chose which partitions you want to flash with particular

-       files you MUST first select a PIT file. To do this click the "Browse"

-       button in the "PIT" section. This will open a dialogue allowing you to

+    4. Select the "Flash" tab. From the "Flash" tab you're able to completely
+       customise a flash. 
+
+    5. Before you can chose which partitions you want to flash with particular
+       files you MUST first select a PIT file. To do this click the "Browse"
+       button in the "PIT" section. This will open a dialogue allowing you to
        navigate to and select a valid PIT (.pit) file.
-

+
        If you do not already have a valid PIT file stored on your computer you
        can download your device's PIT file from the "Utilities" tab.
 
     6. If a valid PIT file has been selected then the "Add" button below the
        "Partitions (Files)" list-box will be enabled. Press this button to add
        a partition to your flash.
-

-    7. When you first add a partition you will see the "Partition Name" and

-       "Partition ID" be populated with information. Use the "Partition Name"

-       drop down to select which partition you wish to flash. "Partition ID"

-       will automatically update and is never directly editable.

-

-    8. You must then select a file to flash to the partition that you just

-       specified using the "Browse" button under the "File / Partition". You

-       will not be able to flash, create a firmware package or add another

-       partition until you have selected a file. However, you're still able to

-       press the "Remove" button if you've decided not to flash the partition

-       you've just specified.

-

-    9. When you've specified a file name then you'll be able to see the updated

-       information in the partition list to the right. You can select any

-       partition from this list and customise it as you see fit.

-

-       You can also remove a partition from the list by selecting it and

-       clicking the "Remove" button. Removing a partition from the list doesn't

-       remove it from your device, it simply means it will not be flashed.

-

-   10. Repeat steps 7-9 as often as needed to specify all the partions/files

-       that you wish to flash.

-

-   11. Now you can chose whether you would like to repartition your device as

-       well as whether you would like to prevent the device rebooting once a

-       flash has been completed. These options can be enabled or disabled by

-       toggling the "Repartition" and "No Reboot" check-boxes.

-

-       In the general case you will only need to enable repartition if you wish

-       to change the PIT file on your device. Keep in mind that repartitioning

-       will wipe your device!

-

-       The "No Reboot" option is rarely required. It's mostly in place so you

-       can manually boot straight into recovery mode after a flash (rather than

-       booting up normally).

-

-   12. If you've added at least one partition to your flash (and selected a

-       file for that partition) then the "Start" button will be enabled. Press

-       the "Start" button to begin the flashing process.

-

-       You may notice that the "Create Package" tab becomes available at the

-       whenever the "Start" button becomes available. From this tab you're able

-       to create a reusable, redistributable Heimdall Firmware Package with the

-       files and partitions you just selected. See "How to Create a Heimdall

-       Firmware Package" for details.

-

-   13. Heimdall Frontend will display the progress and inform you when the

-       flash is complete.

-

-       If something went wrong i.e. your device wasn't detected because it

-       wasn't in download mode, then the status section will let you know the

-       cause of the problem.

-

-

-

-Flashing Firmware from Command Line:

-	

-    1. Fully charge your phone (use the wall charger as it's faster).

-

-    2. Download a decrypted Samsung Galaxy S ROM or a Heimdall Firmware Package

-       and extract everything to the one directory.

-

-    3. If the ROM is not a Heimdall Firmware Package it may instead be provided

-       as multiple archives (nested or otherwise), extract them all to the same

-       location.

-

-       NOTE: If you want to use the CSC then extract it last.

-

-    4. Put your Galaxy S device into download mode and plug it in..

-

-    5. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you extracted

-       the ROM/firmware files.

-

-    6. Type the following to list all the functionality Heimdall supports:

-

-            heimdall help

-

-    7. Use the instructions to manually enter a command with all the files you

-       want to flash.

-

-       Here is an example that does a full flash and repartition on a GT-I9000:

-		

-            heimdall flash --repartition --pit s1_odin_20100512.pit --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs --cache cache.rfs --dbdata dbdata.rfs --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin --param param.lfs --kernel zImage --modem modem.bin

-

-

-    8. Heimdall will display the progress as it flashes so that you know things

-       are working as they should.

-

-

-

-How to Create a Heimdall Firmware Package:

-

-    Firstly, Heimdall's firmware package format is just a regular TAR archive

-    compressed with gzip. The only two real requirements are that a valid

-    firmware.xml must be included (refer to Appendix A) and you can only

-    include files (no directories, links etc.) As such if you'd like there is

-    nothing preventing you from creating Heimdall packages manually. Of course

-    Heimdall Frontend provides a simple user interface that takes care of all

-    the hard work for you.

-

-    There are two ways in which you can create a firmware package. You can

-    create a package from scratch, or you can load an existing package, apply

-    modifications and then save the package. Creating a package from scratch

-    is the preferred approach, by taking this approach you're far less likely

-    to run into file name length limitations.

-

-    Before you can access Heimdall Frontend's firmware creation functionality

-    (available from the "Create Package" tab) you must first specify which

-    files will be included in your package, as well as a few flashing options

-    i.e. Whether or not users should repartition when flashing. This

-    information must be filled out from the "Flash" tab in exactly the same

-    fashion you would provide information to flash your device (see "Performing

-    a Custom Flash with Heimdall Frontend"). As mentioned above, it's not the

-    preferred means, but you're able to load an existing package as a starting

-    point for this information.

-

-    Once you've specified the files/partitions you wish to include in your

-    firmware package the "Create Package" tab will become available. Clicking

-    this tab will display additional information that you can include in your

-    package. In order to continue you must fill out all sections except for the

-    URLs section, which is optional. The following is a break-down of what all

-    these options mean.

-

-    - General Firmware Information: -

-

-        Firmware Name - This is the name of your particular firmware. An

-            example would be "Cyanogenmod".

-

+
+    7. When you first add a partition you will see the "Partition Name" and
+       "Partition ID" be populated with information. Use the "Partition Name"
+       drop down to select which partition you wish to flash. "Partition ID"
+       will automatically update and is never directly editable.
+
+    8. You must then select a file to flash to the partition that you just
+       specified using the "Browse" button under the "File / Partition". You
+       will not be able to flash, create a firmware package or add another
+       partition until you have selected a file. However, you're still able to
+       press the "Remove" button if you've decided not to flash the partition
+       you've just specified.
+
+    9. When you've specified a file name then you'll be able to see the updated
+       information in the partition list to the right. You can select any
+       partition from this list and customise it as you see fit.
+
+       You can also remove a partition from the list by selecting it and
+       clicking the "Remove" button. Removing a partition from the list doesn't
+       remove it from your device, it simply means it will not be flashed.
+
+   10. Repeat steps 7-9 as often as needed to specify all the partions/files
+       that you wish to flash.
+
+   11. Now you can chose whether you would like to repartition your device as
+       well as whether you would like to prevent the device rebooting once a
+       flash has been completed. These options can be enabled or disabled by
+       toggling the "Repartition" and "No Reboot" check-boxes.
+
+       In the general case you will only need to enable repartition if you wish
+       to change the PIT file on your device. Keep in mind that repartitioning
+       will wipe your device!
+
+       The "No Reboot" option is rarely required. It's mostly in place so you
+       can manually boot straight into recovery mode after a flash (rather than

+       to create a reusable, redistributable Heimdall Firmware Package with the
+       files and partitions you just selected. See "How to Create a Heimdall
+       Firmware Package" for details.
+
+   13. Heimdall Frontend will display the progress and inform you when the
+       flash is complete.

+       If something went wrong i.e. your device wasn't detected because it

+       cause of the problem.
+
+
+
+Flashing Firmware from Command Line:
+	
+    1. Fully charge your phone (use the wall charger as it's faster).
+
+    2. Download a decrypted device ROM or a Heimdall Firmware Package
+       and extract everything to the one directory.
+
+    3. If the ROM is not a Heimdall Firmware Package it may instead be provided
+       as multiple archives (nested or otherwise), extract them all to the same
+       location.
+
+       NOTE: If you want to use the CSC then extract it last.
+
+    4. Put your Galaxy S device into download mode and plug it in..
+
+    5. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you extracted
+       the ROM/firmware files.
+
+    6. Type the following to list all the functionality Heimdall supports:
+
+            heimdall help
+
+    7. Before flashing, you must first know the names of the partitions you
+       wish to flash. These can be obtained by executing:
+
+            heimdall print-pit --no-reboot
+
+       The inclusion of --no-reboot ensures the phone will not reboot after PIT
+       file has been downloaded and displayed. After executing a command with
+       the --no-reboot argument, the next command should include the --resume
+       argument.
+
+       NOTE: You can still safely reboot your phone manually (with the power
+             button) after executing --no-reboot commands.
+
+    8. Use the help and print-pit output to construct a command with all the
+	   files you want to flash.
+
+       Here is an example that does a full flash and repartition on a GT-I9000:
+		
+            heimdall flash --repartition --resume --pit s1_odin_20100512.pit --FACTORYFS factoryfs.rfs --CACHE cache.rfs --DBDATA dbdata.rfs --IBL+PBL boot.bin --SBL Sbl.bin --PARAM param.lfs --KERNEL zImage --MODEM modem.bin
+
+    9. Heimdall will display the progress as it flashes so that you know things
+       are working as they should.

+
+    - General Firmware Information: -
+
+        Firmware Name - This is the name of your particular firmware. An
+            example would be "Cyanogenmod".
+
         Firmware Version - This is the version identifier for your package. Any
             valid string will be accepted, although the inclusion of decimal
             point version number is preferred i.e. "7.1". If it makes sense
             then feel free to append a text string like "RC1" or "Beta 1" to
             the decimal point version.
-

-        Platform Name - This is the name of platform (or operating system) that

-            your firmware is based on. In most cases this will simply be

-            "Android".

-

-        Platform Version - This is the operating system version that your

-            firmware is based on. Again decimal point version numbers are

-            preferred over text, i.e. "2.3.4" is preferred over "Gingerbread".

-            "http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/". It is

-            important to include "http://" in order to specify the protocol as

-        Donate - Here you can enter a URL that will link users to a page to

-            make donations for the effort you've put into developing your

-            firmware. Once again the URL must be well formed but there is no

-            requirement on how your donation page should work. For instance

-            both "http://www.glassechidna.com.au/donate/" and

-            "http://forum.xda-developers.com/donatetome.php?u=2710388" are

+
+        Platform Version - This is the operating system version that your
+            firmware is based on. Again decimal point version numbers are

-    - Supported Devices -

-

-    This section allows you to create a list of devices that are supported by

-    your particular firmware. Although Heimdall isn't capable of enforcing this

-    we strongly recommend you take this section seriously. If filled out

-    correctly you could help save a number of accidental bricks!

-

-    Device Info:

-

-        Manufacturer - This is where you can enter the name of the manufacturer

-            for a particular device. For now this will most likely be

-            "Samsung".

-

-        Name - This is the human readable name for a particular device.

-            "Galaxy S", "Galaxy S II", "Droid Charge", "Vibrant" and

-            "Galaxy S (Telstra)" are all valid names. There are a lot of

-            possible variations here so be as specific as you think is

-            necessary.

-

-        Product Code - This is by far the most important bit of device

-            information. Device names tend to be region specific and further

-            subject to the whims of telecommunication companies and resellers.

-            Product Codes (or product IDs) are designated by manufacturers and

-            are generally the definitive means of referring to a particular

-            device. Examples are "GT-I9000", "GT-I9100" and "SCH-I897". If

-            you're unsure of a particular product code then both Google and

-            GSMArena are your friends!

-

-

-    After filling out all the necessary information the "Build" button will be

-    enabled. If it's still disabled then you know you're missing some required

-    information. In particular you must specify at least one developer and at

-    least one supported device. Pressing the "Build" button will bring up a

-    save dialogue where you must chose a file name for your particular package.

-    Don't worry about specifying the ".tar.gz" extension Heimdall Frontend will

-    take care of this automatically.

-

-    Once you've chosen a file name Heimdall Frontend will begin the process of

-    building the firmware package. In doing so a valid firmware.xml file will

-    be generated from the information entered. All files will be archived in a

-    single TAR file then the TAR archive will be compressed via gzip

-    compression. Compression will take a little while but you will see progress

-    bars so you know the application hasn't hung. When the progress bars

-    disappear you're finished making your package.

-

-    Congratulations! You're now ready to redistribute your firmware package

-    online or by any means you see fit.
