Oct 16 09:06:06 <akik> is there some problem with the flashing tool, other than its looks?
Oct 16 09:18:54 <adisbladis> akik: It barely works for one?
Oct 16 09:19:23 <akik> so there is a problem with it?
Oct 16 09:46:15 <adisbladis> akik: The one I built from source is always showing this cryptic error message https://i.imgur.com/JBG2GWb.png
Oct 16 09:47:56 <adisbladis> Using DD (or a similar approach) is an interesting option
Oct 16 09:56:55 <VartiWork> adisbladis: I have not found any post mentioning that specific error, anyway this might be of help: https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=35028
Oct 16 09:58:00 <adisbladis> VartiWork: Tbh I've given up on building the flasher from source
Oct 16 09:58:04 <adisbladis> For now I'm flashing from ubuntu
Oct 16 09:58:32 <adisbladis> Probably less work to reimplement the flasher in a python script than it is debugging the official one
Oct 16 09:59:11 <davedoom> So your advice is the reverse engineer the flashing tool and write my own?  I will pass on that thanks.
Oct 16 10:00:05 <adisbladis> davedoom: For now my advice is to use the binaries on ubuntu 18.04
Oct 16 10:02:00 <davedoom> The thing works but it has had dangerous hiccups.  I think the main problem is the documentation.  I tried to follow the instructions on the planet web site but the output looked nothing like what I expected and I almost bricked my phone.
Oct 16 12:04:24 <akik> this looks pretty simple http://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/Linux_Flashing_Guide#Download_and_Install_FlashTool_on_Linux
