Help/advice needed.

When on Linux (Mint) wanting to flash /e/OS/ firmware to my Samsung A52s, what should I do?

1. Use Heimdall? It has a GUI - but I'm short of a usefull Heimdall Firmware Package with no experience in making such.

2. Use Odin? The official program from Samsung but without any GUI. Will I be able to handle it from a Command promt?

3. Use JOdin? A GUI for Odin. I should be able to install it on Linux - but as I read it it is no longer officially supported.

As is I tend to choose no. 2.

Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

Question for fedi-techies: I'm trying to flash a #Samsung #GalaxyTab with LineageOS. Most of the online advice assumes connection to Windows PC via #Odin. My PC is #LinuxMint. I have installed #JOdin (Java rewrite of Odin) which seems to connect OK but when I try to upload the ROM it reports an error, fails to open interface. Disconnects then reconnects. Anyone got any ideas? I've been haunting websites and blogs for 3 days!

Est-ce que quelqu’un a déjà installé #TWRP sur un #Samsung ?
J’ai réussis a passer en Download Mode avec le Bootloder unlock, mais à partir de la, je ne comprends rien avec les histoires de #heimdall et #JOdin3 qui me demande un .PIT

Sauf que Heimdall me créer un ce .PIT, mais j’arrive a rien faire d’autre sur le logiciel.

Et #JOdin me dit qu’il va faire reboot mon device pour récupérer le .PIT sauf que ça lui fait perdre la connexion quand je suis de retour en Download mode…

C’est tellement plus simple d’installer une rom custom avec fastboot sur les autres android
