Heimdall Description

Heimdall is a useful open-source tool suite designed to help you flash firmware (aka ROMs) onto Samsung Galaxy S devices.Heimdall uses the same protocol as Odin to interact with a device in download mode. USB communication in Heimdall is handled by the popular open-source USB library, libusb-1.0.Besides the inherent risks like power outs, accidental removal of the USB cable etc. Galaxy S devices appear to be running somewhat unreliable USB control software.A failure to flash does not automatically equate to a fully bricked device. However if you’re extremely unlucky and the flash fails whilst transferring the primary boot-loader, secondary boot-loader or params.lfs (all quite small) than you’ve got yourself a paper weight until you can get it repaired via Samsung.No matter what method you chose, flashing firmware onto your device has a lot of potential for disaster. Heimdall has been tested by the developers with a variety of devices, flashing several different firmware versions with a 100% success rate. As such they believe that Heimdall is generally reliable. However keep in mind, just like any firmware flashing software, Heimdall has the potential to brick your device if not used correctly.
