You can use this tutorial:

Flash rom Galaxo 1.6.2 and 1.6.1 - Windows tutorial - Samsung Galaxy

and download fastboot from the link within:

The only difference is that on Flash rom Galaxo 1.6.2 and 1.6.1 - Windows tutorial - Samsung Galaxy, where it says:

Go to tools/ directory of the SDK using command line cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools on my PC.
Install the recovery:
In the DOS command prompt, type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img Do not hit Enter key yet!




You can exchange for:


Do:


sudo ./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img


Note: Using sudo you don't need to change udev rules as it says in the beginning of

I did the whole process without using adb. Only had to use fastboot

There's no way to use Odin in Linux to flash Samsung's firmwares. Galaxo is another thing though, as you only need to flash recovery and then you're free to install this rom. Some parts of the phone can't be flashed that way though (baseband?). You can use Virtualbox (non-open source edition is needed as it's the only one that's got USB support) with Windows installed. You just need to connect your Galaxy and in virtual machine options you need to redirect Galaxy usb devices. Could you explain to me what's the purpose of these scripts you wrote here and why just normal pass-through through VM options doesn't work?

I use the open source edition of VirtualBox. By default mount -n -t usbfs /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb is not commented in /etc/rc.sysinit. That means your local account and root only has access to your usb and the usb get greyed in Virtalbox. So that line needs to be commented and mount -t usbfs -o devgid=$(awk -F: '/^vboxusers:/{print $3}' /etc/group),devmode=664 /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb needs to be added so that vboxusers have permission. You need to add your local user to vboxusers group so that the permission can be inherited.
