Is there a CLI version of Xperifirm or some alternative method to download stock firmwares? I am unable to launch Xperifirm on my Linux machine because Mono requires X11 and my distro is running a Wayland compositor, and I do not have access to a Windows PC. I would like to go back to a stock based de-bloated ROM because of the IMS modem crashes I have been having on T-Mobile.

Hi,
Reposting here because I don't meet the 10 post minimum requirement to post in the development area.
I've downloaded the Flashtool version 0.9.10.2beta4 MacOS version for use to flash the stock UK firmware. It does not work. After uncompressing the files and beginning the flashing process, the tool simply crashes. (and gave me a mini heart attack).
I'm running OSX 10.7.5 with all updates enabled.
java version "1.6.0_43"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_43-b01-447-11M4203)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.14-b01-447, mixed mode)
The crash may be related to a corrupted download of the Flashtool, as whilst I am in flashtool, clicking "About flashtool" or "Preferences" does not do anything. While running flashtool, with the correct ftf file selected, "Exclude" window also displays some odd behaviour - I am unable to scroll through the entire list of options, even though a scroll bar is visible.
Can someone confirm if I've got a corrupted download, or if the tool is meant to work like this? An MD5 would do nicely.
Thanks!
So before I installed CyanogenMod I had linux running through terminal and vnc viewer on the stock Barnes and noble ROM. But once I upgraded to any CyanogenMod ROM it stopped working and does not let me run commands as [email protected] Currently I am on CM11 nightly.

So if I have this right, you are SSHing into a linux pc via terminal and VNCing into a linux pc via an app. All fine and good. That shouldn't have any bearing on the linux pc itself if your logging into the linux pc exactly the same as before.
More likely I think your logging in differently in some way, upgraded the linux distro (which changed something), changed something on the linux pc yourself or haven't changed something that needs to change, forgot to switch to root user, or some other thing on the linux pc.
ssh, vnc, rdp, or whatever are basically just a way of bringing the computer to you. What happens there is happening on the computer not the android device.

I am actually trying to run a arm linux system from terminal and VNC into it on the same device (Nook HD). I used 2 apps one is called Linux on Android and the other is called Linux Deploy. This worked on all of the stock roms but non of the CyanogenMod ROMS. Not sure if this is a conflict with the CyanogenMod build or whats up with it.

1) Install SDK and setup adb
simple script to setup sdk and adb on linux, tested on old version linux mint as im using Ubuntu 14.04 now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459945
just in case the udev rules is not available on above link. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/258-udev-rules-for-any-device-no-more-starting-adb-with-sudo/
2) Add below code inside android 99rules
#Xiaomi
SUBSYSTEM==usb, SYSFS{idVendor}==2717, MODE=0368
3) Voila, u can now use mtp into linux
4) other than that, u can use ftp. It is built inside the mi file explorer and connect it using Filezilla or simply type the ftp host into web broser.
What linux version could I install on my Mi8?
What method would be advisable?
In the past some people has installed Linux on their smartphones, but only some devices are compatible.
I would like to try Linux on my Mi8, it's powerful enough and that would let me use many advanced programs for science not available for Android.
Just use Linux Deploy(u need root rights). You can choose you district and install it. To access you would setup ssh in the settings. Then download a ssh client and connected to local host. All done

But I don't want to run linux virtualized on top of Android, I want to replace it completly.
There is also Ubuntu Touch.
Which one works better?
Well as Linux shares the kernel with android you have no performance lost when using Linux Deploy. Replacing the OS will not be possible.
(You can also try the integrated Framebuffer display...then you would have a linux desktop. Hook up a keyboard and a mouse and youre good to go)

In fact it doesn't replace the whole kernel, just a small part of it. And most things on Android are run on a Java Virtual Machine.

Do you have an example? Like a device where it is running like you described?
Many Linux users have complained that heimdall is difficult to use and they don't have a Windows machine to use Odin. I just want to confirm that Odin in a VirtualBox Windows session DOES work. I just tested it on my T510 to install LOS 17.1. Just make sure you install the "extension package" and the "additions" and add your user name to the last line in the /etc/group file. You need to use "sudo" in a terminal to open the file with a text editor.
