Hi Benjamin,
So I fired up heimdall-frontend, enabled download on my i9001 and then connected it to the computer with USB cable. Heimdall detected the device, but I can’t print the PIT file. Heimdall says:
Initialising connection…
Detecting device…
Claiming interface…
Setting up interface…
ERROR: Setting up interface failed!

Just try print the device’s PIT file before doing anything else. Printing your device’s PIT file won’t alter the contents of the device in any way.

That can be done using Heimdall Frontend from the Utilities tab. Alternatively it can be done from command line with the following command:
heimdall print-pit

If that works then you should be good to go. However I’d still recommend backing up anything that’s important to you before you flash for the first time.

I own one, so I could give it a try, if you think it won’t brick my device.

I can’t see why Heimdall wouldn’t work with the Samsung Galaxy S Plus. However, I don’t own such a device so I’ve not performed any testing with one.

Is Samsung Galaxy S Plus supported?

Please read the README, it explains precisely how to perform a custom flash. If you’re on Linux then the README is installed to /usr/share/doc/heimdall/README.

I think I made a mistake by updating to v1.3: It seems not possible to flash bootloaders only. I’ve got a boot.bin and Sbl.bin, but the frontend wants to take a heimdall package format … no more fields to select these files. Am I wrong?

@orpheus1120: Great! I’m glad you got it working.

Although it shouldn’t be a requirement, perhaps running Heimdall with super user permissions would fix the issue on your Macbook Pro 2008.

UPDATE: SUCCESS! Although I need to elaborate more…

It didn’t work on my macbook pro 2008, but it did work on my 2010 macbook air 13″. I think the reason being my mbp’s system etc was messed up for some reasons. However my mba wasn’t as heavily utilized. Heimdall ran well on mba, and pit file successfully downloaded. I will look forward to a wipe install of Lion on my mbp soon.

Thanks for the help!
