Hi,
I flashed Litenin (and other custom roms) with Heimdal on Linux flawlessy up to version 1.4 which hangs at boot.
I had to replace factoryfs.img with previous version's one (kernel and modem are from 1.4 still and it works....).
Is it a bug in heimdall or something wrong with Litenin rom 1.4 ?
A factory reset didn't help either, 1.4 can't be installed on my phone, at least not with heimdall.
Ciao
Max
bump !
Nobody using heimdall and litening rom here ?
I have exact the same problem....

Did you solve it ? Flashing with Odin does the trick ?
No.. I dont have access to a win box...
but i think odin should work - another user reported after switching to odin everything was ok....
weird.
I'll try later on unpacking and repacking the factoryfs.img, maybe there's something on it which makes heimdall behava wrong.
Thank you for feedback
Could u resolve the problem?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Nope, unpacking and repacking didn't work either.
It seems that heimdall don't like 1.4 version
OK. thanks for the try...
I could access a windows computer this weekend. Odin worked fine...
I never got Heimdall working. It cant find my phone.
hmmm I did nothing special. What OS u use?
(Ubuntu)
1. I Install libusb-1.0 like described on the official heimdall homepage.
2. Install the heimdall .deb package.
3. put your phone to download mode
4. Start heimdall like: sudo heimdall print-pit
I only used the console edition (1.2.0) - not the gui edition...
For flashing type:
sudo heimdall flash --<partition identifier> <filename>
Lite'ning Rom v1.5 XXKF2
Lite'ning Rom v1.5 XXKF2 has just been released. Has anybody tried flashing the new version via Heimdall?
The link has been removed before I could try it
Yes, I saw that people were having problems with it. When the new version is up we can try it again.
Ok, just flashed Litening v1.5 with heimdall.
Everything worked as expected...
Nice, I'll try it tonight.
I run Ubuntu, but use VirtualBox and USB filtering on a Windows 7 Guest to run things like Odin, I just dont trust the Ubuntu tools for drivers, I find Windows to be more reliable and less likely to brick the phone when flashing.
It works fantastic for me!

I've used the same configuration to flash my SG2. But you do realize that VirtualBox is using the same ubuntu (linux) drivers for usb?
And why do you find windows to be more reliable?

I cant share your opinion. Im working now for more than a year with Android. We have our own android build. And i had much less problems working with Linux (Ubuntu) than with Windows...
Flashed Litening rom 1.5 just fine with Heimdall in Ubuntu 11.04.
This is UCKH3 packaged in Heimdall One-Click Format. Run it at your own risk. I am placing it here because I need a place to store the link on mediafire
http://files.teamkomin.com/Captivate/SGH-i897-UCKH3-One-Click.jar
As of today, this is the latest, greatest semi-official, leaked firmware for the Captivate--3SEP11
If anyone wants to try it out, go ahead, please leave feedback.
No time to do a full release thread about this right now... Working on the UnBrickable Mod platform and this file is required to finish the job.
Could you do a UCKH3 instead?

Hi thanks for this, im just about to try it now. Hows KH3 going?
Summary: It kinda worked. I get garbled video with the camera and on bootup after the Samsung Galaxy animation.
Process:
I started on a semi-recent CM7.1 Nightly (90-ish).
I flashed to stock using AIO Captivate Toolkit. That got me to JF6. Note all download modes are initiated using USB jig.
As soon as I verified a good boot into stock, I fired up Heimdall One-Click, put the phone into Download mode and clicked the magic button...
It flashes, reboots, but then gets stuck at the white AT&T boot screen. No progress for many, many minutes. I get desperate and tried to shut it off. In the process, the phone reboots and begins what appears to be a normal boot process. This boot completes, but I'm left with the aforementioned artifacts - the camera doesn't work and I get garbled graphics on boot. Also, the phone feels laggy as heck.
I'm guessing I may have prematurely interrupted the initial boot process. To be honest, I wasn't tracking time, so I don't know if it was only 5 minutes or 15. I just know it didn't seem right and much, much slower than flashing to stock JF6 was.
I'm going to try a more conventional Odin flash to see if I get better results.

You can pull the missing files from KF1. That's what I did when I flashed KH3 when I managed to messup my phone playing around with Heimdall 1.3.0...
Guessing the missing files weren't updated so they weren't included with the exception of the primary bootloader.
Updated to UCHK3 with missing files from UCKF1. This is the latest, greatest Samsung firmware as of today.
Whats wrong
This might be a noob question but what am I doing wrong? I make it executable but it does nothing. I am running Ubuntu 10.10

Odin is for windows. Heimdall is the linux equivalent. So the file in the op probably won't help you on ubuntu.

Right click and open with java... or run from command line java -jar mydownloadedfile.jar
Is anyone else having problems with running the KH3 version on Windows? When I try and run it I get -- "Invalid or Corrupt jarfile" and it closes.
I tried downloading 3 times to rule out corrupt download, and the previous KF1 version ran fine so I don't think it's my Java implementation.

The one from this morning was about 150 some odd megs, and the re-up over 200. This one seems to load up fine!
Does this include bootloaders?
Thanks!
There is a option to flash bootloaders. If you want them you will have to flash twice.as far as i know

I'm on stock froyo, kb1, flashed to it using this: heimdall at&t stock firmware package. Can i flash UCKH3 that Adam linked in the OP over this? Is it enough to click on bottom left button (details), then write true in the Flash column to the IBL+PBL, SBL, PARAM rows to flash bootloaders too? Thanks for the answers!

yes. You should not have any problems.
After running into a bit of trouble myself and seeing how many people ran into the same thing, namely bricking, i decided to create a quick and easy toolkit for unbricking which did the trick for me. The one i'm posting is for SGS I9000 Intl Version, using latest european firmware from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913.
However you can create your own custom kit by replacing the files in the kit and modifying the batchfile i've included. Just make sure to read the readme file included for details.
What it does:
- unbricks
- flashes
- flashes with format
- does not use ****ty Odin.
This kit uses the 1click unbrick solution & Heimdall. For those, credit goes to Adam Outler for making the 1click unbrick and to Benjamin Dobell for making Heimdall. It's nothing out of the ordinary. It's just ingeniously flexible. That's all. Anyone with a bit of brain and 5 minutes of spare time can make himself one for his phone and it will get him out of the sticky situation of reverting from ics to gingerbread.
Basically this is all you need to get from broken to working. All of this took me roughly ~10 hours or more of grueling testing and experimenting on my own till 5 in the morn. If you use this or make your own, just credit me & gimme a thanks.
Download the kit from here (240 Mbs):

I doubt. You will need usb jig for that. I think this is for softbrick and not for totally bricked SGS.

Thanks for this post! I will be studying this closely in the coming days.
A quick question: when people cannot enter download mode, is that the situation when the button sequence doesn't work? in that scenario, i used "adb reboot download" -- worked well. after flashing via odin, it seems my button sequence works again.
It worked even on Linux!
Thanks alot for your link.
Unfortunately I use Linux as main OS. Your approach is more MS based but it saved my day anyway.
Had just to paste this shell command after compyling Heimdall for my ubuntu x64 distribution.
sudo 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
Hope my donation may pay you a beer
Thanks a lot dude ! and hey, glad i could help !
PS: Feel free to create a linux based version as well , if the same batchfile principle applies... why not ?

In short yes, but it may also be because you're nervous and/or for some reason cannot press to button combo correctly, or if they are broken by hardware.
hmm... Its also possible to include a batch command to adb into download mode for extra comfort at the push of 2 buttons. I'll have to update the kit asap.

Thanks for working so tirelessly on this script. I might give it a go on a windows box or look into your bash to use it on ubuntu. I'm afraid that Heimdall doesn't work on my device yet, though.
And yes, there is a big chance that it was me doing it wrong. on my device, the sequence seems to change with new Kies update too. Entering recovery is just crazy take a look here for further amusement
way simpler to just "adb reboot recovery" and keep the button pressing party for that inevitable rainy day
Hey my cell has been USB Bricked. That means the computer and Odin doesn't detect the cell even when it is in download mode. And not charges either. Will this still work? Can you please give me step-by-step instructions?
Can somebody please explain me the simple point of this software.
As far as I understood this can only be used, if you failed to enter download mode using your phone and you would like to re-instal a rom .. Or is this just a rom install manager?
Sorry confused

Well, for starters you could try to bring it into download mode, use batchfile included and select the option of unbricking it. If that does not work, you may want to try and install the included drivers then attempt to unbrick again.

the point of this kit is to bring your phone from softbrick status into working condition (bootable). So no matter how bad you screw up with the rom installations, you can revert to this, re-root, and you're back on your feet.
Which reminds me: i gotta include a already rooted SGS EU rom. )

) Saw that. Ticks me off every time I gotta do the button juggle thinggie. I also tend to use adb console, because its far simpler ! )
Do you happen to know of any good batch scripting guides ? I've been looking for some indepth guide but can't find any. What I'd like to do is use a command which takes some parameters (like where you got your android sdk) and turn it into the path for the adb console (since you need to start it up with parameters like adb reboot recovery, that means that i have to actually tell the script to go into that folder via cd and run the app.). But if you know of alternative ways of starting it up, I'm all ears
Need help

Just flash the stock rom again with odin, and cf-root if you want recovery. Good luck!
Nicely packaged up. However, after I ran:
Code:
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
The reboot presents me with "Confirm password". Got a bit confused, but it appears the trick is to just enter any password about 5 times until prompted that this will wipe the card. Then you're back in.
Just in case someone runs into the same situation and was as confused as I was.

Honestly I have no ideea mate. I can only guarantee for the files I supplied in my zip file. If you changed them with yours, it might indicate some of them might be corrupted or not working. I've only used the recovery kit to pull myself out of bricking and revert to stock rom. I didn't try installing a custom rom. Not sure what you were trying to do.
I advise you to try and debrick (should work), and do a format and then install.
If that doesn't work, dunno what to say. As I said above, for me it worked each time.
Hi There,
After using the search tool on XDA, i've come across two solutions to root my S4 (International version, i9505) on a Mac (OS X). One of them is motochopper. I've installed it, and followed all the instructions. But at the end, i keep getting this line in Terminal where it says "failure" instead of success. When I open Superuser on my device, it keeps saying that i should update. This is also not working.
The other solution was Heimdall. I got the instruction from the site of CyanogenMod. Heimdall keeps crashing here. I removed Kies from my computer and it still doesn't work. I've got no /opt/local/lib on my machine, not even in the hidden files part.
So does anybody know another solution to root my i9505 on a Mac?
Nobody out there with a solution?

After 8 hours yesterday I think I managed to root the phone. CWM/TWRP will not install. At all, under any method. Rom manager, goo manager, I now get this stupid message that says that "an application attempted to access something unauthorized and has been blocked" over and over.
Just trying to flash CM11 rom. Guess I need to learn how to sideload or something? I physically can't get my phone to recovery mode other than the stock Android, which does not have the "flash zip from sdcard" option.
For the love of god help me. My phone stopped working around 2 pm yesterday and I seriously can't believe I'm about to be going into day 2 of this, so rather than drive myself crazy i'm going to wait for help

its the official samsung cable. and yes i tried others
tried other versions of odin as well
and different versions of both twrp and cwm
its crazy i tells ya xD
If it fails to flash true Odin, then you are doing something wrong.
- Different pc
- Reinstall drivers
- Different cable
- Different usb port
- Make sure kies is not running in the background
What are you running? Windows 8? Try a windows 7 pc.
Post the details of the error you are getting.
Also when the flash goes succesfull, but you still don't have a custom recovery, then uncheck auto-reboot.
can someone please link me to a guaranteed working version of a flashable recovery for odin ?
I know its a lot to ask but I've actually gone through almost that entire list you listed
tried diff cables
no kies runnning
on windows 7
drivers been installed twice
maybe i should try the other port, but in case that doesnt work can anyone just link me? sorry i've just never had this much problems with this, must be b/c of the new security knox update or w/e in oct of last year. Last June I did all this in about 15 minutes....
I had the same trouble with the knox crap yesterday, the only way I could get it rooted and/or with custom recovery was to use the Cyanogen windows installer, then when CM booted I then rebooted into recovery and installed a different rom from there. :good:

so where do i find this windows installer? i'm just trying to put CM on there so I suppose this would work
Hi i know youve already said said its officail cable but im saying try another different s4 cable. Because when i was installing recovery or anything it wouldnt let me (i thought i had original white s4 cable) but then i got my dads cable (hes gt s4) and it worked instantly. These fake cables are at large and its very very difficult to tell if its original.
Also like previous guy said using a different computer/laptop also helps i know because ive flashed my phones since day 1.
GL and plz let me know if u managed to fix it another way as its always good to try new options when others fail.

http://www.cyanogenmod.org/ then click the start button and follow the instructions.
It will get you to download the installer (or http://dist01.slc.cyngn.com/CMInstaller.msi?t=1403660099360) the click it to run, It may download an update for itself, then it will download recovery, operating system, gapps, then start to install everything. About 300mb altogether.
That way you don't need the tar files, just search on this sight for flashable from recovery for the recovery files you want. (I use the touch versions myself).

thanks, but naturally this would be too easy

a freaking S4 AT&T! what the ****?
From what I've read AT&T have locked bootloaders. Glad I have an unlocked Australian version!
Yeah so if anyone can still find a way to help me that'd be awesome. Wasted two days already and rather not be stuck with stock

So do you have an AT&T phone? If you do, you are in the wrong section of the forum.
