Is there any tool or software that will allow me to update my devices and flash them while I am on the Linux platform? The Linux platform is my os for my laptop; I do have windows running in at virtual box however I have no luck actually syncing the device through it. So I have quit trying however still would like to flash my roms and etc to my device because the laptop is just so convenient vs sitting at the desktop (keeping my ol' lady up).... Does anyone have any ideas for achieving this

since you did not say wat device you were using, this may or may not apply to you.......some devices can be upgraded using the sd card.

Yea sorry about that I am using the Xda Flame, Tilt, and Treo750 (have flashed from memory card before on the treo only: However lately it won't due it for some odd reason (worked before the first leaked WM6), But I found the ATT update off the comp worked fine). It's wierd I guess I am gonna have to study it a little more and figure out how to extract cabs. from my programs which require being synced to the comp (I think it can be done using WINRAR). Looks like I will have to buy an spare micro SD for flashing roms via the flashcard becuase I have my sd cards set just right for each device with minimal use of the computer (have a folder with alot of the needed software cabs). But hey thanks for the help I will give it a shot and see how it goes. I pulled out my bluetooth usb last night and will begin to figure out a way to sync my device with that. The install went good over on the virtual box. Will be able to see if I can get it to actually sync tonight since the old lady will be working late... :p
