[Q] KDZ_FW_UPD under Linux

Does anyone have experience of running KDZ_FW_UPD.exe under Linux (e.g. using Wine)? What are the required libraries if this is indeed possible? Or is there another way to flash a KDZ file onto the GT540 using Linux?
This would be nice as I would'nt have to seek out a Windows PC every time I want to flash a KDZ

Use fastboot, that's I'm doing for some time now, works like a charm
Search for the binary or compile it yourself.
Regards,

No I wasn't talking a about fastboot, got that working ok under linux. Ok meant flashing KDZ files.
Sent from my GT540 using XDA Premium App

I think fishears have it in his linux machine , i saw a screenshot he posted about data2system method by flashing a KDZ , you should ask him. I would like to add a How-to about this to my LG GT540 Reference Thread

So it turns out this is impossible. Thanks to fishears for pointing out that this is a shortcoming of WINE at the moment as it is unable to communicate with direct-USB devices (it only works with USB->Serial devices).

Could anyone help me suggest the steps to flash kdz files only use terminal (I can extract kdz file but I don't know how to flash it into device)? Thanks you

There is no possible way to flash it, you need Odin and windows system. I saw you can't install windows why so?

Because I tried Unetbootin and other programs on Kali Linux to install Windows 8.1 32 bit on USB but when I boot from USB the PC says that there is no system mounted on USB

You can try using Heimdall. It's a linux program for flashing samsung firmware but, if i'm not wrong, you have to separate the firmware in different files like one for the boot, one for the system ...

I tried It but It doesn't recognize my A300FU and It supports ".gz" Rom file but my Rom file, downloaded from Sammobile, isn't ".gz"

i'm not sure but i think you have to extract the files you need from the firmware using 7zip or any other program

Heimdall is well known, and probably only samsung flash tool for linux.
Don't know if it's outdated by now.

Looking for Root on a standalone Phoenix OS

Hi,
I installed Phoenix OS straight to my laptop, no dual boots. Is there a way to root?
Thanks in advance.

Found a way by using RMXtools v1.6 by upack SFS and repack SFS with the rooted img.
Thanks

Boot into another OS from a flashdrive (Like Linux or maybe even Windows) and replace the Phoenix OS system.img with one of mine. If you have system.sfs and no system.img, delete your current system.sfs and proceed placing the system.img from this post (assuming you have Phoenix OS v2.2.0)

HOW!!!

How do i merge multiple system.bin files into one single system.img file?

Hi, i recently bricked my lg g2 d802. It boots only into fastboot mode, no download mode, no nothing. Now since it is only booting into fastboot mode, i can flash only img files (right?) So i decided to extract the kdz firmware file and manually flash each partition through fastboot. But the problem here is there are not one but multiple system.bin files. So i want to merge them into a single img file so i can flash it. Can anyone help me out asap? Thanks!

Nobody?

You can use the LG Firmware Extract tool.

use can use gnu cat on linux. Install ubuntu (or other distro) in a virtual machine or whatever you need to do. Windows 10 has bash on ubuntu.
Code:
$ cat file1.bin file2.bin > file3.bin
I'm not even sure if this will work correctly. Just dumping system.bin one after the other into one file and flashing that? This is only a suggestion.
Use caution; run at your own risk.
