+Heimdall (c) 2010 Benjamin Dobell, Glass Echidna
+http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
+
+DISCLAIMER:
+
+ This software attempts to flash your Galaxy S device. The very nature of
+ flashing is dangerous. As with all flashing software, Heimdall has the
+ potential to damage (brick) your phone if not used carefully. If you're
+ concerned, don't use this software. Flashing ROMs onto your phone may also
+ void your warranty. Benjamin Dobell and Glass Echidna are not responsible
+ for the result of your actions.
+
+
+
+These instructions are for OS X operating systems.
+
+Installing Heimdall and Heimdall Frontend Binaries:
+
+ 1. Run "Heimdall Suite.pkg" and follow the instructions.
+
+ 2. Reboot your system.
+
+ 3. Done
+
+
+
+Installing Heimdall from Source:
+
+ 1. First make sure you have installed build-tools and pkgconfig.
+
+ 2. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you extracted
+ Heimdall.
+
+ 3. Then enter the following commands to compile and install libusb-1.0:
+
+ cd libusb-1.0
+ ./configure
+ make
+ sudo make install

+
+Installing Heimdall Frontend from Source (Optional):
+
+ 1. First make sure you have installed XCode and Qt 4.6 or above,
+ available from http://qt.nokia.com/.
+
+ 2. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you extracted
+ Heimdall.
+
+ 3. Enter the following commands to compile and install Heimdall Frontend:

+Flashing Firmware with Heimdall Frontend:

+
+ 2. Download a decrypted Samsung Galaxy S ROM and extract it to a directory.
+
+ 3. If the ROM is provided as one of more archives (nested or otherwise),
+ extract them all to the same location.
+
+ NOTE: If you want to use the CSC then extract it last.
+
+ 3. Open Heimdall Frontend.
+
+ 4. Put your Galaxy S device into download mode.
+
+ 5. For each file you wish to flash use "Browse" to select the file.
