Yes, and I then chose HEIMDAL driver..... and got the above error.

I was away for a few days but I'm back now and I thought I should let everyone know I've got Heimdall working in a stable state that I'm extremely happy with.

I have just flashed my phone 10-15 times in a row. Heimdall is also significantly faster than Odin now as I have found the 15 ms delay between communication to be totally unnecessary except when waiting on the phone after a sequence of file transfers (which is safely accounted for).

I'm now in the process of cleaning up the source a bit and getting ready to release a source included beta for Windows, OS X and Linux. This release will carry the beta tag as there is still some functionality I would like to include for a final release (repartitioning etc.) The source code also makes mention to dumping the ROM/RAM but at present there is no way to do so, this will also be included in the first non-beta release.

Anyway if you've been hanging out for a Linux/OS X or source included release then check back here in an hour or so.

Great news!

I won't be in a situation to test for a few weeks but I'll certainly spread the word in the meantime.

I have announced Heimdall in a forum in Spain, and I have to tell you that we, linux users, are looking forward the beta release very much.

Sounds good. If it's open source, there might even be a chance that Samsung adopts it

Congrats Benjamin...

But be sure you will most likely never know...

Thanks Benjamin, this software will be much appreciated.

I have a Galaxy S, H3g - 3 Branded (Italy)
Mine Product ID: 6877 rev 4.00 , but "Italy" it's not on your list for this product id.

Sorry about the delay guys. The release has been held back by some OS X specific issues. As far as I can tell the issue is that OS X itself is complaining about the Galaxy S' lack of compliance with the USB specification, so it's refusing to communicate with the device.

Your efforts are much appreciated. I look forward to giving this a try once I get my new phone.
