I am using Ubuntu live and have downloaded both the latest firmware version and the flasher.
In the terminal I enter ./flasher-3.5 <RX-51.bin> -f -R (i renamed the image)
I get a message saying: Error claiming USB interface: Operation not permitted
Does anyone now what to do?
did you place the file in the same directory of the flasher? You have to turn the phone off and then press "U" while turning on. hold "U" until it turned on. Beside please read WIKI page before posting.
