I live in Australia and wrote Heimdall[1], an open-source reverse engineered tool for flashing Samsung phones.

I can assure you, I am not looking forward to the TPP!

Thanks for Heimdall. Samsung really don't seem to like developers that much, and Heimdall was a godsend when I had an S3.
What's wrong with odin? Other than the moral aspects of using leaked software?
I think Odin was Windows only, there were multiple old versions floating around and how do you know what you're really running? (as Administrator, too)
Heimdall has saved my S3 & Note2 quite a few times! Thank you!
