The Heimdall Suite 1.3 release includes a major overhaul of Heimdall Frontend. The most important feature is that Heimdall Frontend now provides a means for you to easily package your firmware/ROMs/kernels in a "Heimdall Firmware Package".
Heimdall Firmware Packages contain any files users will need to flash as well as additional information including supported devices, developer names, homepage and donate URLs etc.

Heimdall Firmware Packages can be customised by users or flashed directly as provided by firmware developers. Generally users won't want or need to customise the firmware so flashing your firmware becomes as simple as loading the firmware package and pressing the "Start" button.
Distributing your firmware via Heimdall Firmware Packages should simplify the flashing process for end users and decrease the number of bricks that occur as a result of users flashing incorrect firmware.
Heimdall 1.3.0 has officially been released and can be download from the Heimdall product page.
Feedback is very welcome! As always donations are also very much appreciated.

And this is really more easy to use for normal end users?
I do not think so. CWM zip which I can copy to my device and install from there seems to be straightforward.
By the way from the homepage a warning:
ATTENTION: Heimdall 1.3.2 broke compatibility for several devices. In most case it is recommended that you use version 1.3.1 instead.
If you own a Galaxy Player 5 or similar device, then version 1.3.2 will still be required. Please use version 1.3.1 for all other devices until 1.3.3 is released.

Easer or safer?!?
not everyone has linux or apple computer and thus uses heimdall.
Next to this, this increases binary counter no? So nice for people who use heimdall and dont care for counter.
I think key in flashing is multiplatform compatability and then cwm zips are mostly usable in broadest spectrum.
Maybe people should check double check what they flash prior to flashing in order to eliviate that risk of flashing wrong firmware for wrong device.

If some developers could try and add their ROM's to test this out that would be a big help.

This is probably been attempted before but I got bored and decided to make a ROM Directory type thing. It took me a day to develop and is written in PHP using the CakePHP framework for anyone that is interested.
If anyone has any feedback or anything please let me know.
The reason there is only 1 ROM added is because they are the files i have on my PC as i use that ROM.
Below are some pictures of it:

Very nice set up I would definitely use it. Ive been doing alot of work lately on my friends and family's android phones and if you can get this up it wont take forever to find a rom that they like and i can set it up for them
http://roms.scottymeuk.co.uk
It would definitely be nice to have one stop place for all the latest ROMs. But, in my opinion creating the website isn't the hard part, the hard part is to keep your directory updated with the latest ROMs.
Because there are lots of ROMs available (different phones, different versions etc) and many people use nightly builds too like in case of Cyanogen. So, that would mean you will have to update the data/urls/change logs etc regularly.
How do you plan to aggregate and update all this data? Manually? Or fetch data as a feed from their respective website? Or hoping for the web 2.0 way?
But, if you manage to do that then it would be really great.
People who create the ROM's will be able to do all of that them self. The way it works is that the ROM is submitted by someone (doesn't have to be the developer) and then that ROM is locked to their account, it is then approved by an admin and then they are then free to add as many versions as they want, where they can upload a zip file, and add change log for THAT version.
The change log is not one big database entry, it is the "versions" of the roms. For each version you submit there is a change log.
Yesterday we got our hands on the latest leaked stock firmware I9000XXJVS for Samsung Galaxy S cellphone, if you are wondering how to get this flashed onto your device here is the answer.
DOWNLOAD LINK : http://hotfile.com/dl/129538506/0a079c6/I9000XXJVS.rar.html
PASSWORD : samfirmware.com
Use the ODIN flashing utility and make sure to browse for all the files and use settings as shown below to have a successful flash.
PIT : s1_odin_20100512.pit
PDA : CODE_I9000XXJVS_CL565837_REV03_user_low_ship.tar
PHONE : MODEM_I9000XXJVS_REV_00_CL1059471.tar
CSC : GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVS.tar

Make sure to have re-partition, Auto Reboot, F. Reset Time and Phone Bootloader Update settings checked before starting the process.

Is it absolutely necessary to use a PIT file and re-partition if we're flashing from JVQ?

nope; not even neccessary when flashing from a 2.2 f/w.
Why you open new thread, because we have all tutorial here:

Right. It's spam: promoting one's site, eh! Should be banned, otherwise XDA will be full of these.
This topic is completely useless. Stop spamming with this odin guide **** .... Everybody knows how to flash a new fw
not everybody knows how to flash new firmware.

Then they can refer to one of the numerous other guides available, the original point still is that this thread is redundant.

Everything is working great, I am not seeing any issues at all.... but I am using Jasmine 6.1 which is based on OF1 lollipop 5.0. I had been running 4.4.2 when I unlocked the bootloader and then installed TWRP and then Jasmine6.1.
I was digging through my phone's status via the Phone INFO app and (not really surprised) that my bootloader was still NC4 and my modem was NK1 (I flashed the OF1 modem when I flashed lean kernel).
Like I said, all is working well... I tend to leave things alone if there're not broken..... SO.... Is there any reason I should update bootloader or modem?
Thanks in advance...
Don

I would advocate the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." approach.
Assuming you archive the various Odin stock releases so you'll have them in the future, you always have the option of rolling forward, but mostly won't have the option of rolling back.*
For earlier releases of firmware than what you are using (e.g. MJ7 and MJE) there seems to be an inability to boot stock kernels from later releases. And even non-stock kernels as well (I can't boot twrp-3.0.2-0-hltevzw-4.4 for instance, even though it doesn't have a "stock" heritage).
But I'm not sure this is a fundamental technical incompatibility or something that is merely sensitive to the kernel configuration options used during their builds.
It is a significant practical issue for folks on old firmware that might prevent them from using a "debloated" newer stock release, however. If folks who are willing to build kernels for us (I am trying OB6 and NK1 kernel builds with zero success at the moment) figure out what the technical issues are we might makes some progress here; if not the practical issues will remain.
But who is to say that something like this might or might not happen in the future to folks currently unlocked on "4.4" bootloaders? Keep those Odin stock bundles archived until you get rid of the phone!
* I realize there are some exceptions.
Yea... For now... That's my plan... Was just wondering if someone knew for sure one way or the other.

Greetings!
I am trying to revert my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 G900V(B) back to Lollipop from Marshmallow. I don't have a PC but a Macbook Pro so I can't use ODIN. Instead I have downloaded Heimdall. I have downloaded several different versions of the Lollipop stock ROM but the Heimdall GUI is not recognizing them.
I *really* need to revert this back to Lollipop so I can use towelroot to get rid of all the crap Verizon bloatware that is eating my memory and making my phone unusable.
Any help would be so so so appreciated, thank you!
