hello guys!
Could you please help me to flash stock rom on my i9300 with heimdall?
i downloaded stock firmware for croatia(tmobile) from sammobile and tried to flash rom with mobile odin lite. it worked. kinda. csc was broken and i was not sure shich csc to choose so i rooted my phone back to cm10.
now i'd like to try with heimdall. after unzipping and untaring downloaded file i got following files:
boot.img
cache.img
hidden.img
modem.bin
recovery.img
system.img
How should i flash it?
i'd try by myself but i'm not so sure.
i guess using something like heimdall --primary-boot boot.img --system system.img --modem modem.bin --recovery recovery.img --hidden hidden.img --cache cache.img
is order ok? should i try with different order? and I'm not so sure about boot.img switch because there is --primary-boot and --secondary-boot
Thanks in advance!

Hi, did you try it? I had the same problem with my italian firmware some days ago. I tried and unfortunately I failed! My phone freezed in "Samsung".
I flashed via CWM that firmware and so now it's working.
But it seems that Heimdall isn't so popular...

Start with Hiemdall --print-pit>tmp.txt.
Then open tmp.txt in a text editor, You will see the proper names of the partitions. Then you have to match the partition names from the phone to the file names in your rom image. The command you typed seems mostly correct, but you need to check these partition names to make sure your current rom matches up, for instance,"--primary-boot" might be "--boot", and "--modem" might be "--radio" but don't quote me on that.

I'd like to flash to this rom GT-I9100_CPW_I9100XWKI4_I9100CPWKH1_I9100XXKI1.tar which I got from Intratech's thread as I want the older bootloader. I cannot use Odin as I run Linux and don't have access to a MS machine so want to use Heimdall.
Heimdall is installed and I've got as far as extracting the files from the above tar and have the following files.
Sbl.bin
boot.bin
cache.img
factoryfs.img
hidden.img
modem.bin
param.lfs
zImage
My questions are:
Whether I need to flash all the files in that list? I assume yes.
Heimdall offer the option of flashing primary and secondary boot loaders spl1 and spl2). Is Spl.bin above the primary or secondary bootloader?
Heimdall also requires a PIT file. I assume I should use the PIT file that I saved off my device?
I did do a search on here and google but found nothing that really answered all my questions so would appreciate a more knowledgeable person offering their advice.
Hey guys, i used to flash with odin, but those times are now gone. moved to linux for real, so i installed heimdall (and heimdall-frontend).
Honestly it seems that command line is easier to understand. My question is: how do i flash only the bootloader?
I need to use the jig, so i need the old bootloader. i already have the TAR.
to execute a normal rom installation, it seems these are the commands:
heimdall flash --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs --cache cache.rfs --param param.lfs --kernel zImage --modem modem.bin --pit s1_odin_20100512.pit

But how about flashing just the bootloader?
Also, i didn't install any samsung drivers...is that possible on ubuntu?
This is linuxmint, but anyway, is ubuntu based. thanks
Well, nevermind guys... i'm going to flash it on a friend's computer. However i would like to learn some more about heimdall. the videos i see on youtube, and on google, are from an early version. as the interface changed, i'm kinda lost now.
appreciate any tips. ty
If you just type "heimdall" in Terminal, then there will be a list of possible arguments you can use.
As far as i know you just have to type:
sudo heimdall flash --primary-boot "boot.bin" --secondary-boot "Sbl.bin"

I never flashed only a bootloader, so i don't know if there will be any compatibility problems. But command should work.
i trying to flash stock rom on my sgs2. but without the sec_csc.zip which in cache.img.
i tried to del the image - failed.
i created empty cache.img with "./make_ext4fs -s -l 256M -a cache cache.img cache_new/".
i put the files (boot.bin, cache.img, factoryfs.img, hidden.img modem.bin param.lfs sbl.bin zimage) in a tar file.
and odin failed.
what should i do?
i dont want to root!
of course it will fail.. the md5 sum already chNged..

no its not the reason.
the MD5 Check finished Sucessfully.
thanks guys. u figure it out.
the problem was the tar format file.
odin support just "ustar" tar format.
thanks again!
odin'd ND7 for the correct model i605 from a site other than sammobile (download was really slow), everything went through fine when it went to reboot it does a quick boot loop
cannot go to recovery mode, but can go to odin.
cannot flash full tar back to it, it fails on sboot
So I downloaded the file from sammobile and extracted it
thinking maybe I have to make a flash file without the bootloader if possible?
extracted the tar
boot.img
cache.img
hidden.img
modem.bin
recovery.img
sboot.bin
system.img
tz.img
edit. used pit file with odin (read in other threads after the fact) and all seems clear, very noob of me -.-
normally don't have to use it...
anyways still want to know if possible to make without bootloader and/or make something like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24278264&postcount=9
I'm trying to Fix Nand write failed from this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/nand-write-start-fail-odin-soluction-t2851096
But to tar it again the order is given as:
Sbl.bin
Boot.img
Modem.img
Cache.img
System.img
Recovery.img
Others
But when I extracted the 4files for repairing firmware :
Cache.img
Data.img
Factoryfs.img
Hidden.img
MLO
modem.bin
Param.lfs
Sbl.bin
zImage
Some files are not matching and I think the .img files are extracted in the newer version of firmware like boot.img has the files MLO and param.lfs . So to make the tar file do I have to create a boot.img with MLO and param.lfs in it.
The firmware is I9100GXXLSR_DBTLS
the phone is bricked so help needed to sort the files to overcome the nand write error
Phone details:
S2 GT-I9100G
