I have just released HTCFlasher version 3, get it while it's hot!! :)

HTCFlasher -formerly known as HERMflasher- is an open source tool which allows you to flash ROMs on most current HTC devices. It has some extra features that the original HTC RUU doesn't have, like for example it can present a serial prompt to the bootloader (replacing mtty), or it can dump NBH file contents (.nb ROM parts).

Currently most new HTC devices are supported, and the basic set of functions to work with every HTC bootloader has been implemented, so adding support for new bootloader versions or new devices should be quite easy to do, if not working out of the box.

For an incomplete list, see SupportedDevices.

Supported Operating Systems

  • GNU/Linux x86 and x86_64
  • Win32/Cygwin (except Vista)
  • Mac OS X (intel based)

Features

  • Flash NBH files: replaces the Windows Rom Upgrade Utility (RUU)
  • Extract NBH files: replaces windows tools like nbhextract
  • Serial prompt: replaces mtty / minicom
  • Easy to use Gtk GUI

Sorry to ask but how do I use the 2 files that I downloaded? Seems like Linux files.

Any help is appreciated. I am using Vista but can run XP too.

I've compiled it successfully, will test it on my S710 under Debian unstable/sid. This is great news for playing on multi-platform. Thanks pof!

EDIT: Just to let anybody who wants to use this, ensure to disable enhanced network functionality over USB on your device in order to register a default RNDIS and load rndis_host module.

Any reason that Vista won't work??? And if so, do you plan on implementing Vista capabilities in the future?

Vista handles usb-serial very different than the rest of operating systems. No plans for supporting Vista ATM.

Won't work on Vista. The .tar.gz is like a .zip containing the source code. You have to install cygwin to compile it on XP.

Sorry I left the .o in the source tarball...:rolleyes: I've just fixed this, so you can download it again, or run a 'make clean' before 'make'. Let me know if you have any problems compiling on x86_64 now.
