I wanted to write some software which will help the user to understand what they are doing.. So I began the Heimdall One-Click project. http://code.google.com/p/heimdall-one-click/ Heimdall One-Click is not yet finished, but the Unbrick is complete. Heimdall One-Click is based on binaries from another Open-Source project, called Heimdall by XDA member Benjamin Dobell.
About One-Click UnBrick
This Software:
Will work on all Samsung devices which use Odin3
Is a single, portable executable
Is the first one-click anything for our devices on Linux
Works on Mac
Works on Windows
Is open source
Is programmed in Java
Deploys and installs Heimdall for your OS
Is super easy to use.... Only one button!
Demonstration video:
Image captured on Ubuntu 11.04:
This software is completely safe. It is a part of my Heimdall One-Click project. I wanted to release this to work out any cross-platform difficulties which may be encountered before I release Heimdall One-Click.
Instructions
1. Copy OneClick.jar to your Desktop-- or any other folder on your computer, It won't work on a network share.
2. Double click. -- As long as you have Java installed On Linux and Mac you are up and running.
For some versions of Windows as a work around to UAC (User Access Control, the annoying popups), a executable called "OneClickLoader.exe" has been deployed to the same folder as OneClick.jar. It is important that you do not rename OneClick.jar until after runnning OneClickLoader.exe
3. right click OneClickLoader.exe and select "Run as Administrator" -- Setup should be run-of-the-mill.

Stuck in a boot loop?
Is it still able to boot into CWM(Recovery Mode) or Download Mode.
If it's still able to go back into Download Mode, you don't need this software.
Just turn your Captivate into the Download Mode and flash back to STOCK Eclair or Froyo using Odin 1 Click or whatever similar.
I am very interested in feedback. If you would like to test this, just put your phone into download mode and click the unsoft brick button. It will simply reboot your phone. It will not flash any firmware and it does not have the capability to do anything except release the locks which prevent a phone from booting if they are present.

-Version1.IIX 5july11 fixes Winodws 7 and Vista. Adds countdown to non-imperative notifications. Adds real-time monitoring to determine if dependencies are actually required on Windows, rather then blindly installing. Since windows is such a PITA, this was alot of work. This version will work if you have Java installed and OneClick.jar on your computer (no network shares) on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and all Debian based Linux distributions including Ubuntu and Mint.
-Version 1.SVNR33 9july11 Much smaller package size, decreased by 5 megs. Fixes browser launching on Linux/mac. Decreases logging level to 1. Adds Log to temp folder at level 4. Adds optional donations to Heimdall or One-Click. Adds Windows Problem Resolution Center.
-Version 1.FINAL 10July11 Fixed UAC issues, File may now be renamed on Windows, Left launcher as alternate method, added linux asthetics, fixed driver link
Major Operating Systems requiring testing
Mac OS-X Leopard Mac OS-X Snow Leopard
Mac OS-X Lion
Linux Ubuntu 32
Linux Ubuntu 64
Linux Mint
Linux Debian
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7
note: If you are having problems with drivers, This is caused by an invalid USB Device ID in the ROM installed on the phone.
If you'd like to contribute to the next version
Testing on your platform is as simple as putting your phone into download mode and clicking the button. It will simply reboot the phone if the phone is not bricked.
Grab the code from the SVN: checkout http://heimdall-one-click.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
You can modify the code with NetBeans: http://netbeans.org/downloads/
If you come up with a positive change, I'll add you to the SVN as a contributor or a committer to ensure you get credit for your work.
I'm always looking to make a new version. Please give feedback.

wow this looks neat...i will definitely fire it up next time i brick my epic! great job AdamOutler!
edit: tested and it did kick my epic out of download mode in windows
if the command above gives you issues on windows 7 then do the following:
click the start button
goto programs>accessories>
right click on 'command prompt' and select run as administrator
cd to your download folder (ie: cd c:\downloads\oneclick\)
then type 'java -jar OneClick.jar'
you should only have to do all of that the first time so drivers for heimdall can be installed correctly
AdamOutler is working a better solution for the windows crowd
Devices: EVO 4G LTE (pre-ordered), Epic 4g, Sprint 7" Galaxy Tab, HP TouchPad (CM9), Nook Color (CM7), Transform, Intercept
just as a heads up, not every environment will play nice with the "doube click to run" as the file is stored now on google code. if you're on linux, simply either chmod +x the file or do "java -jar ./OneClick.jar" to run it (assuming java is in your path). seems ubuntu (and derivatives, I guess) assume the jar file wants to be opened with archive manager by default, so set it to run with java beforehand (launched with sun java 6, didn't try openjdk)
add to that the application doesn't seem to reliably recognize heimdall 1.0.1 CLI... attempting to run it returns a blank version string but after updating to 1.0.2b it recognized it fine. not world-ending, but just something I thought you should be aware of.
I'm a bit more interested in your heimdall one-click attempts though, as I'd like to see something like that implemented for 2.2 (since not every captivate can go back to JF6 it seems)... I've been pointing people at the leaked JI6 odin one-click for now, as it contains all the necessary files and is usable on every device.
edit: looking a bit more over heimdall's implementation, does this simply run the "heimdall close-pc-screen" command in an easy to use GUI?

True... I'll add that to the first post.
Heimdall one-click is operational. I'm working the kinks out of it with the one-click unbrick first. I've sucessfully flashed my phone on all three platforms using heimdall one-click. I don't feel comfortable releasing something like that without thorough testing. This is basically testing for my one-click platform.
