Guides seem to reference only the UI version meant for Windows. I only have Linux machines right now and while I probably could spin up a temporary VM I’m guessing that will have its own headaches.

I got all the way to the point of choosing my IMG files but chickened out because, again, no real guides on selecting individual IMG files since the old method would use an entire TAR file.

Any help would be appreciated.

For a little more context I’m trying to convert my phone to a “carrier free” firmware so I get updates from Samsung instead.

    Thanks for the info! I finally got a successful flash!

    My biggest issue was getting the firmware (slow or broken downloads) and second was not screwing up and trying to flash the wrong firmware (watch out for accidentally changing the sort order 😬).

    The phone is now restarted and downloading the latest update (I assume from Samsung since it wasn’t updating on its own before).
