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.

       Heimdall.

            cd libusb-1.0
            ./configure
            make
            sudo make install

Flashing Firmware with Heimdall Frontend:    

    1. Fully charge your device (use the wall charger as it's faster).

    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.

    6. Press "Start".

    7. Heimdall Frontend will display the progress and inform you when the
       flash is complete.
