Heimdall open-source tool suite used to flash firmware (aka ROMs) onto Samsung mobile

finally i flashed my SM-T530 Galaxy Tab 4 with linux heimdall, iam so happy - no more need for a virtualbox with windows on it just for using odin if download mode is needed.

linux distribution is http://linuxbbq.org - NOX: Lacipecsenye (amd64)

this is what i did:

sudo apt-get install libudev1 libudev-dev \
libusb-1.0-0 libusb-1.0-0-dev \
build-essential pkg-config zlib1g-dev \
libusb-dev libqt4-dev qt4-qmake \
autoconf libtool libusb-1.0-0-dev \
qt5-default

git clone git://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall.git

cd Heimdall
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make
