[VIDEO GUIDE] [CDMA] Using Heimdall to flash Roms

---

I received alot of pm's and emails in the past 72 hours regarding issues with the roms I released, issues that to me all sounded like there was confusion on using heimdall.

So I decided to eliminate any future confusion by creating a video of using heimdall and flashing one of my roms.

Though I use Linux, I feel it doesn't matter when it comes down to the basics of using the Program.

I cant help troubleshoot problems with Windows users, Mac, or even Linux as there are far to many variations of systems out there, even if you have the exact same computer i do, that doesn't mean you might have the same software, or might not be up to date, or you might have updates i don't have.

So for the sake of general understanding of using Heimdall, here is a video i made, posted on You Tube, and there for life...

Oh, please pardon the horrible audio, I think it was my headset. You can understand me, however i sound.....horrible.

Also, expect a few more walkthroughs from me, or even updating this specific one as well. I actually love creating work-flows, so once i get a better mic setup, maybe I will just start pumping out some Guides.

thanks man, your video really helped. im literally new to the tab scene.

thank you, this video help me a lot.

Thanks for the guide.BUT i cant get the older versins of Heimdall to run on my computer. I know for some reason you decided to use an old version, but I dont remember why. Because of this, I havent been able to flash your rom. I recognize how you use that old gui as thats how you had to do it in the early dev days, but the new one is lacking . any tips?

I wrote up how to use the new GUI in Heimdall 1.3 over here. It's confusing to figure out at first but easy once you do.

You can still download 1.1 from the creators website.

I use 1.1 for one very good reason.
I can flash what I want. I can flash just the kernel, or recovery, or just reflash a borked filesystem, I have experimented and done thing most devs would cringe over, its a straight forward no bs app that didn't need a makeover.

However, all versions are still out for grabs.

so i saw in your video that you are flashing the recovery when you install your rom. is there a way to get back to stock recovery if we need to take back into sprint for repair?

thank you soooo much man. i tried everything until this. it's soooo much easier than anything else. thank you it works.

i lov it and everything seems to work. is there anyway to change the way the screens switch instead of that fold out look

Thank you!
