Henrik Grimler 6fb2b09570 README: remove OS specific folders, and gather info in doc/ 
We at the same time drop windows and OSX specific build
instructions.  I have no idea if the instructions are still valid, and
I do not want to spend time trying to find out, so drop instructions
completely.

Flashing Firmware from Command Line

1. Fully charge your phone (use the wall charger as it's faster).

2. Download a decrypted device ROM or a Heimdall Firmware Package
   and extract everything to the one directory.

3. If the ROM is not a Heimdall Firmware Package it may instead be provided
   as multiple archives (nested or otherwise), extract them all to the same
   location.

   NOTE: If you want to use the CSC then extract it last. If you're asked
         to overwrite files then do so.

4. Put your Galaxy S device into download mode and plug it in..

5. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you extracted
   the ROM/firmware files.

6. Type the following to list all the functionality Heimdall supports:

        heimdall help

7. Before flashing, you must first know the names of the partitions you
   wish to flash. These can be obtained by executing:

        heimdall print-pit --no-reboot

   The inclusion of --no-reboot ensures the phone will not reboot after PIT
   file has been downloaded and displayed. After executing a command with
   the --no-reboot argument, the next command should include the --resume
   argument.

   NOTE: You can still safely reboot your phone manually (with the power
         button) after executing --no-reboot commands.

8. Use the help and print-pit output to construct a command with all the
   file you want to flash.

   Here is an example that does a full flash and repartition on a GT-I9000:

        heimdall flash --repartition --resume --pit s1_odin_20100512.pit --FACTORYFS factoryfs.rfs --CACHE cache.rfs --DBDATA dbdata.rfs --IBL+PBL boot.bin --SBL Sbl.bin --PARAM param.lfs --KERNEL zImage --MODEM modem.bin

9. Heimdall will display the progress as it flashes so that you know things
   are working as they should.
