OP:
[RELEASE] One-Click UnBrick updated 5july11 - xda-developers
Background
I've been working on stopping the bricking problem on our phones for a while now.
Ever tried JTAG unbrick recovery?--superhuman soldering skills no longer required for JTAG
Developing methods to recover bricks without JTAG - I keep this updated with current information as it develops.
ALL JIG VALUES here! --this will give you some resistor values to try
Altered water damage indicators --um... just in case you lick your battery and need warranty replacement
The Galaxy S Hack Pack--A compilation of resources for Galaxy S Phones.
I wanted to write some software which will help the user to understand what they are doing.. So I began the Heimdall One-Click project.
heimdall-one-click - one-click deployment for ROM packaging - Google Project Hosting Heimdall One-Click is not yet finished, but the Unbrick is complete. Heimdall One-Click is based on binaries from another Open-Source project. Credit for Heimdall goes to Benjamin Dobell, Glass Echidna.

This software is completely safe. It is a part of my Heimdall One-Click project. I wanted to release this to work out any cross-platform difficulties which may be encountered before I release Heimdall One-Click.
Instructions
1. Copy OneClick.jar to your Desktop-- or any other folder on your computer, It won't work on a network share.
2. Double click. -- As long as you have Java installed On
Linux and
Mac you are up and running.
For
Windows as a work around to UAC (User Access Control, the annoying popups), a executable called "OneClickLoader.exe" has been deployed to the same folder as OneClick.jar. It is important that you do not rename OneClick.jar until after runnning OneClickLoader.exe
3. right click OneClickLoader.exe and select "Run as Administrator" -- Setup should be run-of-the-mill.

I am very interested in feedback. If you would like to test this, just put your phone into download mode and click the unsoft brick button. It will simply reboot your phone. It will not flash any firmware and it does not have the capability to do anything except release the locks which prevent a phone from booting if they are present.

-Version1.0 3July11 initial release
-Version1.b 4July11 fixes windows 7 & Vista UAC. Thanks to Roddreick for windows UAC workaround binary.
-Version1.IIX 5july11 fixes Winodws 7 and Vista. Adds countdown to non-imperative notifications. Adds real-time monitoring to determine if dependencies are actually required on Windows, rather then blindly installing. Since windows is such a PITA, this was alot of work. This version will work if you have Java installed and OneClick.jar on your computer (no network shares) on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, OS X, and all Debian based Linux distributions including Ubuntu and Mint
If you'd like to contribute to the next version
Testing on your platform is as simple as putting your phone into download mode and clicking the button. It will simply reboot the phone if the phone is not bricked.
Grab the code from the SVN: checkout
heimdall-one-click - Revision 29: /trunk
You can modify the code with NetBeans:
http://netbeans.org/downloads/
If you come up with a positive change, I'll add you to the SVN as a contributor or a committer to ensure you get credit for your work.
I'm always looking to make a new version. Please give feedback.
