Using heimdall-flash ensures that you have a recovery path in the event that something goes wrong while flashing. Also, while it might be *possible* to update all the partitions on the device just from a root shell, chances are the available images and instructions assume you'll be flashing them via the firmware... so translating these instructions so the changes can be done from the shell will surely be difficult. > I have logs for heimdall and adb.

Your best bet is really to report any problems upstream (https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall.git/). -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
