What is Heimdall?

Heimdall is a cross-platform open-source tool suite used to flash firmware (akaROMs) onto Samsung mobile devices.

How does it work?

1. Heimdall is a cross-platform open-source tool suite used to flash firmware (aka ROMs) onto Samsung Galaxy S devices.
2. I decided to write a tutorial using the Heimdall command line version for mac because some of you, like me, might not have access to a Windows machine 24/7. Note to reader: This tutorial is based on the command line version of Heimdall because not only the Heimdall-frontend app(the GUI version) is straight forward, but in my opinion lacks features.
3. Marineau's edict meant that with Mojave's successor - macOS 10.15 - probably launching in the fall of 2019, Mac owners have a year and change to purge their machines of 32-bit apps.

Heimdall connects to a mobile device over USB and interact with software runningon device known as Loke. Loke and Heimdall communicate via the customSamsung-developed protocol sometimes referred to as the 'Odin protocol'.Low-level USB in Heimdall is handled by the popular open-source USB library, libusbx.

Why 'Heimdall'?

For internal use, Samsung developed their own firmware flashing tool known as'Odin', named after the king of gods in Norse mythology. Loke, the softwarecomponent that runs on the Samsung devices and provides the functionalitynecessary to flash, also seems to be named after an important character in Norsemythology (often translated as Loki). In this vein, our software was named'Heimdall' after the Norse god and guardian of the Bifrost Bridge.

What platforms does Heimdall run on?

Why use Heimdall when we can use Samsung's tool, Odin?

Heimdall For Mac Mojave 10.14

Aside from being slow and generally unreliable, Odin only runs on Windowssystems. Furthermore, Odin is 'leaked software' that is not officially supportedby Samsung, freely available, or well understood by the community at large.

Is Heimdall safe?

No matter which method you chose, flashing firmware onto your device haspotential for disaster. We test Heimdall with a variety of devices by flashingeach one with several different versions of appropriate firmware. As such webelieve that Heimdall is extremely reliable for the devices that we have tested.However keep in mind, just like any firmware flashing software, Heimdall has thepotential to brick your device if not used correctly.

How do devices get bricked when flashing?

Besides the inherent risks like power outs, accidental removal of the USB cableand the fact that some of Samsung's devices appear to be running somewhatunreliable USB control software; the most common cause is actually a bad USB hub(i.e. faulty USB ports) or a low-quality/damaged USB cable. A failed flash willtypically result in a state that is known as a 'soft brick' and is totallyrecoverable, often by simply trying again. 'Hard bricks' on the other hand, areoften the result of a user error i.e. flashing incompatible bootloaders onto adevice. 'Hard bricks' are technically still recoverable by more advanced means,but your best bet is to visit a certified Samsung repair centre.
