thats what ive been doing but its kinda a pain to do it every time i want to flash
i found the tool to be able to flash and it works with multiple phones!

supposedly pofs HTCFlasher app will work with (possibly) any of the newer devices that use the .nbh format. Anyone brave enough to try it out? I'm curious if it will work for the TP or not, as it's not on their "incomplete compatability" list.

just use sunbox or a virtual machine

I downloaded put my VZW HTC Pro in bootloader mode and away I went. It found the phone, flashed to 99% on the phone, 100% and done on the program itself and the phone just hung there. May not work on the Touch Pro. Can anyone confirm?

By the way I thought it was quite slow so I would probably continue using a memory card to flash.

woo finally found a way though! driving me crazy cause windows vista crashed for the 3rd time in two weeks today and i just gave up on it!
trying to get used to linux again i highly suggest trying out fedora 11!!
sweet as f***

why don't you post how you found a way to flash using Linux instead of just saying you did?

Have you tried Ubuntu? That is the smoothest, easiest, cleanest Linux I've ever used and I've used a few everything from Mandrake to Suse to Gentoo to Knoppix and even RedHat... Ubuntu is what I like the best... Shoot any them are good!

if he uses that, he would have to install windows in those right? If so, nullifies the whole point because it would still be using Windows to flash.

What distro? Maybe try talking to Pof to see if the bugs can be worked out, or if anybody else cares, I suppose. Everything cool is GSM, and making it work could be as simple as differentiating between the different versions of the Raphael.

Been running Linux Mint . I am going to also try a different rom tomorrow and see if I get the same result.

i was running mint for a little while wasnt too happy with it, there were a lot of bugs on my computer. I am very happy with the fedora 11 beta though! and right now im trying ubuntu 9.04, and 8.10 and overall fedora is the way to go for me


has anyone else tried flashing? im going to when i get fedora back tomorrow! but until then ubuntu keeps f***ing up my wireless

I bricked my phone (HTC Titan) a year ago by flashing from linux.
luckily I could get back to the bootloader and flash from SD card.

I'd have to just recommend flashing from SD (that's what i do, as I refuse to use windows!)
