There is a GPL's linux software HERMflasher for flashing hermes/trinity (working), and similar code for magician (untested).
I guess that the hermes code may be adapted for the universal with some
minor effort.

well i do know how to program but i do not have the detailed knowledge of flashing especially of universal, so i don't think i'll be able to mod it..
Again i don't want to brick the only phone i have [:p].. by testing this util..hehe
Thanx a lot anyway....

If the uni is not locked. Otherwise it may be easier to flash from the SD.

Sorry, the current htc-tools version is magician-specific.
But we are working on flashing the linux ROM, so it'll work eventually :)

sorry I just found out that this program does bnot support the nbf file but the nbh file, so no supoort for the universal If there is a option, I like to hear it.

hmm I didn't find the right info in these link. This is more about getting linux on your uni. But the question is how to flash a uni in a linux enviroment
