Background

After witnessing a new Linux user, who had just switched over from Windows, struggle with using Odin4's CLI, I decided to make a GUI for Thor: Thor GUI. With the release of v0.5.0, Thor GUI was renamed Galaxy Flasher, and it now supports Thor and Odin4.

Disclaimer

Currently, Galaxy Flasher is in an Alpha stage. There are known (and unknown) bugs. A list of missing features and know bugs in the latest release can be found below.

Known Bugs

• The docs need to be updated to tell users that they need to edit the udev rules before using GF, see here.
• You have to restart Galaxy Flasher after changing a flash-tool executable for it to apply, see here.
• build-python.sh is broken, don't use it.

TODO

• Improve the flash progress updates. [Odin4]
• Add a CONTRIBUTING.md file.
• Add support for Heimdall.
• Fully support Linux arm64.
• Display the partitions to be flashed in the Verify Flash Window.
• Make Galaxy Flasher easier to install.

Supported platforms
