Using Linux (Ubuntu) to flash firmware

[droseofc]

I recently converted my windows 10 laptop completely (accidentally) to ubuntu studio and am having a hard time finding what can be used in replace of odin. I have heimdall but read it doesnt work above 4.4.2 and cant find jodin3 as links to it dont load. Anybody here use linux and can give a few general steps on what to use and how to get it?

Install a Virtual Machine or VirtualBox and download a version of Windows that you can run on it with a key to activate windows or just use a temporary one but you'll have to learn how to use the VM'S they're not hard at all though.

I will deff try that and appreciate the help. That doesnt seem difficult at all or anything but other then that is there a method that is for linux such as heimdall? Heimdall may be ok i just read it doesnt work after 4.4.2. Right now the virtualbox does seem best as i am used to windows but wondering if there's something specifically for linux or Linux compatible.

Unfortunately I have not found anything capable of being used after 4.4.2 on Linux which is why I said the VM.. I use VirtualBox and it works great running Windows 7 but you need to make sure that you have all the software it needs to run installed.. This isn't like Windows where you just install a .exe and it works, there's a lot more involved than that. With VirtualBox after you install it you'll have to also install a VirtualBox Extension Pack. You should make sure you read up pretty good on it and you should be ok.

Will do and I appreciate your help. Which linux are you running or have you? I am running ubuntu 16.04lts ubuntustudio and whenever i try to open stellarium the screen flickers bad and freezes up. By chance do you have any experiences with that or have i shot way too left field.
