Bought a second hand phone because my current one drains too fast (battery).

Flashing through the recovery doesn't work, I need Odin.

Only windows installation I have left (spare laptop I hardly use) crashes every time I boot up.

Linux version of an alternative is downloadable but the site gives a shit ton of errors.

Well fuck me sideways right now.

    Hey, does the "free" firmware drains battery faster? 😛
    Go for the hybrids, trim and clean them, but keep those manufacturer blobs, they do miracles 😀

    How could you, I'm disappointed with you my friend, as an open source lover you should have gone with Sony they really support open source community
