Ubuntu ROM Flashing

[slovoflud]

Hi, guys, just wanted to ask it it possible to flash a ROM using Ubuntu (or in that case any other distro of Linux) or do you Need ActiveSync for that ?

If you havent got MS on your pc, then the best thing you can do is flash from memory card.

you can flash from sd...simply rename the file ...nbh in kaisimg.ngh, put on sd and than hard reset

i just stumbled across this thread while looking for a solution to this problem. i am currently transfering everything over from my windows vista to my ubuntu so that i can eventually delete the entire windows partition. however, i do not have an sd card, so does anyone know a way to do this without one?

Windows computer or SD card.
You can get an SD card for like $20 at radioshack.

Just make sure to format it to FAT32 before you kill windows, else the bootloader on the phone won't read the image.

i have ubuntu and i flash using this app, works perfectly cause i used to flash with the sdcard but some of the newer cooked roms wont flash thru the sdcard. The app is very simple and self explanitory, you just have to put in bootloader mode (hold cam+power while softreseting) then plug it in when you get to the 3color screen
