tamerlaha: if you can run SSH in diags, execute green
commands from following post:

But there shouldn't be problem to set bootmode over MfgTool from virtual computer with Windows under Ubuntu. You just need to run program for emulating (VirtualBox etc.) under sudo
(sudo VirtualBox), because without sudo VirtualBox can't use USB ports.

And no, there is no linux alternative for MfgTool (yet).
