Flashing HTC devices from Linux

By | 12 Sep 2008

To flash HTC devices under Linux, there is the HTCFlasher tool.

You might be missing the /dev/ttyUSB0 device in recent Ubuntu installations. To fix this, use lsusb and look for the device ID of a Microsoft Corp. Generic PPC Flash device (if in bootloader mode). Now do a

sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x045e product=0x00ce

or add the following line to your /etc/modules:

usbserial vendor=0x045e product=0x00ce

The ID here is that of my HTC Universal.
