Version 1.1.1 of the Heimdall Suite was just recently released. The changes are fairly minor, unless you own a Galaxy Tab there is no need to upgrade immediately. However, installation, compilation and packaging has been greatly simplified with this release.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed modem flashes for Galaxy Tab i.e. Reverted from the “Kies method” back to the “Odin method” of flashing modem files.
System Support Changes:
- OS X binaries are now universal. Intel 32-bit, Intel/AMD 64-bit and PowerPC are all supported.
Installation Changes:
- The OS X package should now include Qt 4.7.1.
- Debian packages now install binaries to /usr/bin as opposed to /usr/local/bin.
- Debian packages now take care of udev rules in a more standard complaint fashion.
Compilation Changes:
- Heimdall Frontend can now be installed to any location by using “qmake OUTPUTDIR=/desired/output/dir”.
- On Linux running “make install” for Heimdall command line tool will now install the udev rules.
tks
I have just installed in in my Mac – which is up-to-date – but the heimdall-frontend app is crashing on startup.
I can send you the crash log.
Thank you so much! May I know if it supports firmware files which should be used with Odin 1.7?
Brazilian Joe (and other OS X users who experience a crash with Heimdall Frontend), there is an issue on OS X whereby Qt is not being detected even though it is included as a private framework. A user has proposed a work-around here.
jiehanzheng, Heimdall should be compatible with any firmware that your phone is compatible with. However Odin firmware releases tend to be packed in a tar archive. All you need to do is extract this archive so that you can flash the individual files from Heimdall Frontend or Heimdall command line tool.
