SP_Flash_Tool for Linux and Mtk Droid, replacement for Linux?

Question

linux

Windows recently died, before I had to run from one aspen to another, change img in Linux in Windows, upload the firmware to the phone using SP_Flash_Tool, but now I don’t know how.
In Linux, as I remember, there is a ban on loading device data, and therefore I had to run either an arduino studio under root, or something else, so that the device could be seen and something could be poured into it.
The question is how to remove this ban, or rather, how to set permissions for my user to download data or replace SP_Flash_Tool and Mtk Droid programs under linux.

If I understand correctly, you need to access /dev/XXX as a normal user (not as root)? if so, look towards udev. write a rule, put it in /etc/udev/rules.d/
for example (my rules are for phone/tablet):

# Motorola Defy+
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="22b8", MODE="0666", OWNER="home"
# Google Nexus 7
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666", OWNER="home"
