Alternatively, run an old windows version inside virtualbox. Usb passthrough 
works really well.
(Only time I actually use windows is for stuff that like that)

If a flasher you have is for old windows, wine may be your friend.
Usually they have good support for emulating old win api.

[gentoo-user] [OT] Flashing an old NOKIA 3310 with Linux?

2019-02-12 Thread tuxic
Hi,

I got my hands on one of the well known NOKIA 3310 (2001...not the new NOKIA 
3310
ones) phones. It seems the previous seller has branded the phone with
his own firmware and I want to reflash the original NOKIA firmware
onto it again...if I have a true phone I want the "real true"
phone...you know ... :)

There are some flasher out therewhich are compatible to windows
versions, which are long forgotten.

As far as my investigations in this case :) has reached: The phone
needs what they call it a "DCT-3 flasher".

Does anyone has knowledge in handling this wonderful retro peace
of technique this way and knows a linux compatible flasher for 
the firmware?

Thanks a lot in advance !
Cheers!
