just a question: does it work on Linux? #53

hi, I'm not dumb, I hope at least, sorry for this trivial question, but I would only like to grab an old windows instance on one of my machines if it really is necessary...

from this:

Getting Started

Zoom Firmware Editor application is a self-executable jar-file. If you have Java JRE installed, then double-click on "ZoomFirmwareEditor.jar" should launch it.

If you dont have Java installed on your computer, you can download and run "ZoomFirmwareEditor-setup.exe". That setup application will install the compiled Windows executable with embedded JVM (created using Excelsior JET).

It seems to me you don't need windows, only Java 8, if anybody could confirm this, I'd get to flashing my B1On more lightheartedly :)

thanks,

Peter

You can modify the firmware with java on linux, just java -jar it. However, this program works by modifying an official windows firmware installer, which you then have to use. That runs in WINE.

thank you :)

one more thing: to update the firmware I'll need the windows updater anyway, right?
