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.
