[Q] Heimdall help

---

I am getting extremly frustrated right now.
i have been trying to install cwm on my phone for hours now and i just need some help please

i dont have windows installed. ive tried using VM but my computer is refusing to allow me to use usb in VM right now.

odin through wine doesnt work.

so my last option is heimdall... can somebody please give me some usable steps on flashing cwm with heimdall ... its very late here, im very frustrated and getting ready to pull my hair out, so please in noob terms.. thank you to whomever feels nice and gives me some help

Have you looked at this thread?

You don't say, but I assume you want to install a kernel containing ClockworkMod Recovery.

If you havn't sorted out your installation yet, follow step 2b in How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash counter!!, except extract the zImage from the kernel you want to install, and then use the following on the command line:

heimdall flash --kernel zImage

If you need root first, follow the whole guide.

Once you've flashed a CWM-enabled zImage, you only need to flash the Su package from ChainsDD's site in CWM to get root.
