FIXED

it’s because you – like me – have used the Samsung Kies software, which you should uninstall at once, but as it adds some offending kernel extensions, you also must unload such extensions:

A. launch Terminal
B. get root and unload extensions:

sudo sh -
kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungComposite
kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungACMData
kextunload -b com.devguru.driver.SamsungACMControl

    I am trying to use Heimdall to flash a kernel to my ET4G, but running into a problem. It is able to detect my device, but when I use the flash command I get the following message:

    Initialising connection...
    Detecting device...
    Claiming interface...
    ERROR: Claiming interface failed!

    This is Heimdall 1.3.0, OSX 10.7.1

    Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

    For what it is worth, heimdall and heimdall-frontend from 64bit Linux, using the official packages off the website yields this:
    Code: 
    # heimdall flash --repartition --pit s1_odin_20100512.pit --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs --cache cache.rfs --dbdata dbdata.rfs --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin --param param.lfs --kernel zImage --modem modem.bin

ERROR: Setting up interface failed!

    I will keep digging around for solutions but I am fresh out of ideas. It detects the device, claims the interface and errors out in the setting up from what the output says.

    I was having the same "claiming interface error" and so I tried reinstalling as suggested in one of the posts. When I reinstalled, I noticed a message saying /System/Library/Extensions/Heimdall.kext wasn't properly installed, so after the installation completed, I restarted and deleted the kext file then reinstalled. After that, everything worked correctly.
