Brick! Brick! Heimdall vs Odin

ODIN:

okay the last rom I had installed was through a clockwork a DK05, then I flashed the modem.bin (or leaked beta modem bin) with ODIN successfully. Now I wanted to flash back to the original Di18 stock rom using ODIN.. Since using stock and froyoDJ29 I always use ODIN to flash back to stock Di18 Rom with no issues... This time with DK05 Im unable to flash back... in the process it stopped at factoryfs.rfs for at least 10minutes.. I unplugged it.. battery pull.. start over again with odin.. Same thing.. So now I've got a brick realizing that ODIN doesn't play nicely flashing back from DK05.. I wanted to go back to stock. Now I'm...trying to revive the damn phone...

Heimdall:

There's still hope... working with heimdall in my new folder in my desktop and the tar file extention md5..renamed to zip to convert the file and everything within is extracted and included in the new folder. I've got the phone in downloading mode...I verified having all needed files... according to the readme instructions in the same folder as Heimdall:
s1_odin_20100512.pit
factoryfs.rfs
cache.rfs
dbdata.rfs
boot.bin
Sbl.bin
param.lfs
zImage
modem.bin


If you do have all the above files: i.e. You're performing a full flash.

6. Run flash.bat.


7. Done.


EDIT: Nothing happened!!! (Failed... TO DETECT DEVICE)

Oh by the way... when instructed to update the drivers... I get "the best driver software for your device is already installed"... This is what i tried to do after that... delete/uninstall the driver so that when plugged in... it'll show up unidentified.. still get the same results.. I don't see Under Universal Serial Bus Controllers right click on "Heimdall Galaxy S Driver" anywhere...just Samsung usb composite device. That's it. it DID NOT detect any new drivers from the Heimdall drivers folder.
