Hello, I'm trying to understand Heimdall development.

Original repository seems dead: Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall
But there is a newer repository on GitHub from user Gabriel2392: Gabriel2392/Heimdall
This repository seems itself a mirror of ~grimler/Heimdall from Grimler91 user.

I've myself forked it both here on disroot gfgit/Heimdall and on GitHub gfgit/Heimdall.

Could you tell me what improvements have you added in this repository compared to the ones I've linked before?

The bug was that it hanged on a specific percentage and didn't move on (I think it was 47% or something similar). With the fix, it just continues.

I can't remember where it was, but there was a discussion on this on the internet and many people had the problem, that heimdall hang.

With this fix I haven't had any more issues, yet.

But I have to say that I most likely flash Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F), because I think those are the best smartphones.

I really don't know anymore... but I am a little bit annoyed of myself that I didn't keep the commits, because my old git repo hoster went offline and I thought "Let's create a clean repo to save some space"...

What I can remember is that it wasn't a problem with file sizes, but with older devices.

So if your version works with SGS5 and older, it might have a similar bug fix.

v2.0.2 works fine with Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (GT-I9195). I don't have S5 to test
