If you are still having problems, i see C: which means you are most likely using windows. I recommend just using Odin. You may also need usb drivers from samsung

Odin wants to flash a tar.md5 file, while heimdall uses an img (at least for recovery). How to convert an IMG to be work with ODIN? I found some tools but at least I get a forced close when flashing AP. (But the not working protocol - more exact bulk transfer) might be the reason for that crash too.
